Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Return Trip

Jing Yan could sense that Senior Ling Luo was definitely one of the top powerhouses before the great war between humans and gods.

From the scale of this Ancient Cave Mansion, clues to its power could be seen. Without great strength, it was impossible to create such a vast mansion.

"Senior, what are the Divine Race like? And where do they come from?" Jing Yan asked.

"You ask a good question, young friend, but I don’t know much about the Divine Race either. They existed tens of thousands of years before I was born."

"This world of ours was originally a whole, a vast continent floating in the boundless Boundless Sea."

"As far as I know, originally, there was no Divine Race in our world. Humans were the supreme rulers of the world."

"Even on the continent, there were no powerful wild beasts. It was only the beasts in the Boundless Sea that were somewhat stronger, but even the strongest among them were far inferior to human Martial Artists in the Saint Realm."

"I don’t know when, but the Divine Race appeared. They came to our world through a Void Channel. It wasn’t until the appearance of the Divine Race that we realized that our world was just one of the countless planes in the vast Chaos. They also brought powerful Divine Beasts with them, which continued to breed. Gradually, our world started to see a variety of powerful wild beasts. Those with pure bloodlines were the Divine Beasts, those with less pure bloodlines were the Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts, and those almost without any bloodline were the low-level ordinary spiritual beasts."

"When the Divine Race first arrived, they acted very friendly. And the Martial Artists of our world did not mind the small number of Divine Race members. We even didn’t mind them scavenging the resources that originally belonged to us. We humans welcomed these far-traveling Divine Race members."

"But gradually, things changed. Through that Void Channel, more and more of the Divine Race came to our world. After their arrival, they continued to reproduce offspring. Though their breeding ability was far inferior to that of humans, their descendants were born Martial Artists with unimaginable Martial Arts Talent and cultivated very rapidly."

"They consumed more and more resources, and finally, conflicts arose with the human race."

"We also finally understood that if we did not respond, we humans would ultimately be completely eradicated."

"Later, the great war between humans and gods ensued! The continent shattered into islands within the Boundless Sea. The war was extremely brutal—more than ninety percent of human Martial Artists in the Saint Realm died. Of course, the Divine Race also suffered heavy casualties and were greatly weakened."

"Even the Void Channel was deliberately destroyed by us. The Divine Race within this world could still use the Void Channel to leave, but the Divine Race outside could no longer come to our world through the Void Channel."

"As for what happened in the late stages of the war between humans and gods, I don’t know. But I guess that the Human Clan and the Divine Race probably signed a truce agreement. Considering the situation at the time, if they hadn’t stopped the war, both races might have been completely wiped out," Ling Luo slowly said.

Jing Yan and Tianshui listened with sighs.

Especially when hearing that this world was just one of the countless planes in the universe, Jing Yan was shocked.

After a long while, Jing Yan slowly digested what Ling Luo had said.

"Young friend, if you encounter the Divine Race in the future, you must be extremely careful. They harbor ill intentions, and their appearance is the same as humans’, making them difficult to distinguish by the naked eye," Ling Luo paused, "Of course, not all members of the Divine Race are inherently evil; even during the war between humans and gods, there were Divine Race members willing to help humans."

"Okay, now I’ll pass on the Sky Wings to you."

As Ling Luo spoke, suddenly, a mass of white light was peeled from his residual soul and slowly flew towards Jing Yan.

Jing Yan did not resist, allowing this mass of energy to merge with his body.

Immediately, he felt his mind fill with vast amounts of new information— the cultivation methods of the Sky Wings.

At this time, however, Ling Luo’s residual soul flickered rapidly as if it might collapse at any moment.

Clearly, passing the Sky Wings to Jing Yan was also a great drain on his Divine Soul.

"Young friend, the Sky Wings have seven levels, but even I have only cultivated to the sixth level. As for the seventh level, I have not reached it. So, you can follow my methods for the first six levels, but when it comes to cultivating the seventh level, you will have to explore on your own. I also don’t know if the seventh level can truly be cultivated or not," Ling Luo’s voice became hurried.

"Senior, are you alright?" Jing Yan looked anxiously at Ling Luo.

"It’s not good, Brother Ling Luo’s Divine Soul has weakened to a critical point," Tianshui said with a frown.

"You don’t need to worry about me; even if I hadn’t passed on the Sky Wings, my Divine Soul wouldn’t have lasted a few years more. Now, I am not worried about the Sky Wings being completely lost. Young friend, when you have the capability in the future, if you find my descendants and they do not know the Sky Wings Martial Art, you can pass it on to them."

"Alright, I’ve said enough. I will send you out from here," Ling Luo motioned with his arm.

Jing Yan felt his vision darken again, but this time he did not lose consciousness. When his vision restored, he found that he had left the ancient cave mansion of Senior Ling Luo.

He was standing exactly at the entrance to the mansion that he had previously encountered.

And Tianshui was also by Jing Yan’s side.

Jing Yan looked around and shook his head; the entrance to the Ancient Cave Mansion had disappeared, likely closed by Senior Ling Luo. So, even if the Gai Family came again wanting to enter the mansion, it would be impossible. Unless someone from the Gai Family could completely break through the space, it might be possible to enter the mansion again.

"Senior Tianshui, let’s go!" Jing Yan looked at Tianshui, who still seemed a bit emotional, and said.

"Mmm!" Tianshui responded in a melancholy tone and lightly flashed into the Qiankun Space.

Donglin City Lord’s Mansion!

"Prince, you don’t think anything will happen to Jing Yan, do you?" Jing Tianying asked worriedly.

He had already learned from Zhou Shangyun that Gu Xinghe had ill intentions.

He was worried that Jing Yan would encounter danger.

Zhou Shangyun frowned and shook his head; he also felt uncertain.

If it were just Gu Xinghe, then Jing Yan would definitely be fine; a few years ago, Jing Yan had already killed a martial artist in the Late Daoist Master Realm, and his strength must be even greater now. But that Elder Yin with Gu Xinghe was very dangerous.

If a real battle started, Jing Yan definitely would not be Elder Yin’s match.

"Tianying City Lord, you’re sure Gu Xinghe hasn’t come back from the Black Stone Mountain Range, right?" Zhou Shangyun then asked.

"Yes, I have people monitoring the main entrance of the Black Stone Mountain Range. If Gu Xinghe emerges, he will definitely be discovered," Jing Tianying nodded.

"Good, if Gu Xinghe hasn’t come out, then that’s good," Zhou Shangyun said.

If Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin came out, but Jing Yan was missing, then it would really be bad news. Since all three hadn’t left the Black Stone Mountain Range, the likelihood of Jing Yan being alive was naturally greater.
