C171 Thousands of Miles of Wasteland

It was an endless swamp, filled with endless poisonous gas and miasma. Countless poisonous bugs, venomous snakes, poisonous scorpions, and poisonous spiders were running around in the swamp.

Yih Xuan could sense the aura that wasn't any weaker than that of a profound master from every single poisonous creature here. Hundreds of poisonous creatures at the level of a Mystic Master were equivalent to half of the Diyuan Sword Sect!

No wonder no one dared to enter the Desolate Swamp. With these poisonous creatures here, without the strength of a high-level Mystic Master, it would be courting death if one could not fly!

And most importantly, the most powerful thing about these poisonous creatures was not their strength, but their poison!

Yih Xuan saw that a Fourth Level Profound Master had accidentally left his team and was targeted by a poisonous snake. It bit his calf.

This poisonous snake's strength was not high. At most, it was equivalent to an ordinary Second Level Profound Master. After this Fourth Level Profound Master bit it, he reacted and killed the poisonous snake with a single move.

However, it was already too late. Just as he threw away the venomous snake under his feet, before he even had the time to eat the Detoxification Pill, his entire body went numb and he fell to the ground while foaming at the mouth.

After a while, the 4th Tier Mystic died. Even if his companion gave him the Detoxification Pill, it would still be useless.

Yih Xuan could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He could tell that this Fourth Level Profound Master's strength was not weak. Under the premise that he did not use all kinds of killing moves, it would take a lot of effort to kill this Fourth Level Profound Master.

But such an expert was actually poisoned to death by a Second Level Profound Master poisonous snake so easily.

"Incredible! The poison of this poisonous snake is truly too formidable! It's much more powerful than the Golden Thread Snake in the Mystic Spirit Secret Realm!"

When Yih Xuan faced the Golden Thread Snake, he could only choose to dodge the poison that it spat out, and he didn't dare to face it head on. This showed how powerful it was!

And that Golden Thread Snake back then could only release poison that was a grade higher than his own. The poison released by a First Grade Ferocious Beast's Golden Thread Snake would have no effect on a Third Grade Mystic Master.

But this venomous snake was different. It was only equivalent to a Second Grade Mystic Master. The poison it released could even kill a Fourth Grade Mystic Master! During this period of time, it had broken through two levels!

"These poisonous snakes and poisonous creatures have been eroded by this endless poisonous gas and miasma. The poison in their bodies is far more powerful than in other places!" Fangzheng walked over. Although it was his first time here, he had read quite a bit of information and had a good understanding of these matters.

"Junior Brother Yih Xuan, look. Even though these are poisonous gases, they are quite harmful to Mystics. Ordinary Mystic Masters can't withstand them." Fangzheng pointed to a spot and said.

Yih Xuan followed the spot Fangzheng pointed to and saw a Level One Mystic Master. This Level One Mystic Master had already activated his profound energy barrier, but under the corrosion of the poisonous gases and miasma, this layer of profound energy barrier constantly produced hissing sounds.

The first layer of profound energy barrier continuously became thinner. This first level Profound Master still relied on continuously eating profound pellets to replenish the profound energy in his body, and only then could he hold on until now.

Yih Xuan reported in his heart. This ten million mile desert was indeed worthy of being called a great danger zone. Even the poisonous gas and miasma that permeated the entire swamp was actually so formidable!

He was able to roughly discern the might of this poisonous gas and miasma, and even he would have to spend quite a bit of effort to resist it.

Fortunately, Yih Xuan and the others were still inside the flying ship. There was a layer of protective barrier around the flying ship. Not only could it resist the attacks of the poisonous gas, but it could also block the poisonous gas and miasma that filled the sky.

This was also the sorrow of a small sect. They did not possess a flying ship like the five big sects. They could even bring in high-level Mystics below the Mystic Master level to protect them until they entered the Abyss Devil Palace.

Mystic Masters were the foundation of their sect. Perhaps they were their old ancestor, or perhaps their sect master.

In order to obtain sufficient resources and make their sect bigger and stronger, they could only risk their lives to personally enter.

They carried the hope of the entire sect. They had also fantasized about getting a huge treasure, reaching the sky in a single bound, and making their sects the same as the five big sects.

However, reality was always so cruel. Those who could obtain fortuitous encounters and treasures were, after all, very few, and most of them died a violent death. The sect fell from the sky, and even no longer existed.

Just like the 4th Tier Mystic Master who died under the mouth of the venomous snake. In fact, it was the ancestor of a sect, and he was the one who established this sect.

Ever since he founded this sect, there was only him, a Mystic. There was no other reason. The disciples were not talented enough, and the sect did not have enough resources.

These were all things that decided the future of a sect. Without these things, the sect naturally wouldn't be able to continue developing.

If not for this, this old ancestor wouldn't have risked his life to come to this desert that was millions of miles away, searching for that extremely slim chance.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance, and he ended up in a situation where his body, soul, and soul perished.

From then on, his sect would either be annexed, or it would gradually decline, and eventually disappear into thin air.

This was a cruel fact, but reality was like this, the strong prey on the weak.

In comparison, the Diyuan Sword Sect was much better. It was created by Di Yuanzi, an expert from the Profound Sect. The foundation of the Diyuan Sword Sect was much thicker than the foundation of an ordinary sect.

However, in order to reach this position, the Diyuan Sword Sect had taken countless risks. Countless ancestors had accumulated their lives and walked up to this position step by step!

Yih Xuan shook his head. These were not things he should consider right now. Since his ancestors had built such a foundation, he should think about how to defend it!

"Master, ancestors, please rest assured. I, Yih Xuan swear that as long as I, Yih Xuan, am here, the Diyuan Sword Sect will never decline! I will definitely bring the Diyuan Sword Sect to its peak! "

A resolute look emerged from Yih Xuan's eyes.

Before Yih Xuan and the others arrived, many forces had already arrived. Even the flying ships of the other four big sects had arrived.

Flying ships were a rare item that could only be purchased in powerful countries outside the Mooyun Kingdom. Other than the five big sects, the other forces did not have the ability to buy them.

Without flying ships, one would not be able to fly in the sky and would be attacked by poisonous creatures!

These forces naturally knew how powerful these poisonous creatures were. Their individual strength could not compare to the five big sects at all. They could only huddle together in twos and threes, gathering more than ten or twenty Mystic Masters to take care of each other.

There were no less than ten such groups. In total, they could already be compared to one of the five great sects!

These were the small powers in Mooyun Kingdom. It wasn't hard to tell why the five big sects could dominate Mooyun Kingdom for so long.

The number of profound masters in any of the five big sects was equal to the number of small powers combined.

Moreover, the Mystic Masters of these small forces were all middle and low level, and there were almost no high level Mystic Masters. It was impossible for the five big sects not to dominate!

After the other four big sects arrived at the Diyuan Sword Sect, they didn't greet them. The treasure was right in front of them. Once they entered, they would be their enemies!

Furthermore, the Celestial Thunder Sect, Green Wood Sect, and Flying Feather Sect didn't have a good relationship with the Diyuan Sword Sect. Recently, the Celestial Saint Valley had been troubled by the matters of the Celestial Thunder Sect. They didn't even want to pretend to be polite.

Yih Xuan scanned the Sect Masters on the flying ships of the four big sects one by one. From their eyes, he could see that everything was developing in the direction that he hoped for.

"Alright! This way, you can buy me more time. You all can fight to your heart's content! Because before long,i will make sure that you will never be able to fight! " A trace of cold light flashed in Yih Xuan's eyes.

However, when Yih Xuan looked at Lei Yun, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.

He could feel an extremely powerful Qi from Lei Yun's body. This powerful aura was very secretive. Yih Xuan even thought that he was wrong.

Lei Yun looked at Yih Xuan as if he had sensed someone's gaze.

Yih Xuan hastily turned his head to look elsewhere. He was still not suited to have an official confrontation with the Celestial Thunder Sect. If he couldn't hold it in any longer and revealed his true strength, all his efforts would be in vain.

Looking at Yih Xuan, a mysterious smile emerged on Lei Yun's face. After that, he turned his head away and stopped looking at Yih Xuan.

Yih Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to Lei Yun. However, in his heart, he had a vague idea about the hidden and powerful Qi of Lei Yun.

Yih Xuan shifted his gaze to the various sects. He wanted to see who would pose a threat to him, and who was worthy of his attention.

Yih Xuan's soul power was extremely sensitive. Ordinary people could only know his cultivation base through this man's Qi, and then judge his strength from his cultivation base.

However, Yih Xuan was able to directly observe the true strength of others with his sensitive soul force.

This was because Yih Xuan's soul power could even sense the profound energy fluctuations of profound practitioners. Through this person's profound energy fluctuations, Yih Xuan could naturally know his true strength.

In a short while, Yih Xuan had already understood the strength of all the people present. Apart from some elders who had cultivated for several decades and had already reached the level of a high level profound master, no one else could pose a threat to him.

However, one of the young men caught Yih Xuan's attention. His cultivation was clearly only at the first level of the Profound Master Realm, but through the fluctuations of his profound energy, Yih Xuan could feel that his strength was not inferior to a second level Profound Master!

Crossing one level to kill an enemy, this was a true peerless genius! He was also the first peerless genius Yih Xuan had ever seen!

"He should be the number one genius on the Wind Cloud List, Ling Feng, right? Not bad indeed." Yih Xuan thought to himself.

The flying ship in Celestial Saint Valley was so young, so it was natural for him to have an imposing manner that could reach the heavens as he stood there. Apart from Ling Feng, Yih Xuan could not think of another possibility.

However, although this Ling Feng was not bad, he was still a top genius amongst the younger generation of Mooyun Kingdom. Even Jin Yupeng, who had broken through to become a Mystic Master, was not his match at all.

However, if it was in the past, Yih Xuan would still pay attention to him. But now, this Ling Feng could only slightly attract his attention.

His strength had already reached the stage where he could compete with a high grade Profound Master. The strength of Ling Feng, a second grade Profound Master, was nothing in front of him!

After going through a series of calculations in his heart, Yih Xuan once again shifted his gaze to the place where he had been stunned for a moment at the beginning.

It was a huge abyss!
