The autumn sun, with its hint of laziness and starkness, flowed into the small courtyard alongside the breeze.
Li Fan lazily got out of bed.
Pulling back the quilt, he saw Xiao Bai still sleeping, so he gently stroked Xiao Bai's delicate little nose before getting dressed and going outside.
The disciples had already woken up and were each busy with their tasks.
Xinning's clear reading aloud in the courtyard made one feel relaxed and content.
Despite the multitude of books, she was organized and thodically absorbed the knowledge from them, which greatly pleased Li Fan.
It was rare to see a child with such a deanor.
"Master, wash your face."
Bai Qian ca over with hot water, and after Li Fan washed his face, she obediently handed him a towel.
After washing up, Gong Ya brought over boiled eggs and lean at porridge, and thus began another simple, unpretentious day.
"Master, I would like to set out for the Southern Sea today."
Long Zixuan spoke up.
Li Fan nodded, saying,
"Setting out earlier is indeed better."
"Hmm... take a basin or sothing."
Since it was a lotus, they would definitely need to transplant it into water.
Therefore, they needed to bring a container of so sort to transport the lotus back to the courtyard.
Long Zixuan nodded, understanding that his master must have had his reasons for suggesting this.
He imdiately searched and finally found an abandoned wooden basin among the firewood.
Seeing this, Li Fan was speechless. This disciple... was really cut-rate.
Why use an old wooden basin...
However, the basin was barely usable for holding water, so he didn't bother to say anything.
"Da De, continue to go with Zi Xuan."
Li Fan said.
Thinking to himself, he felt Da De indeed worked hard. For small matters, it was always he who took the lead with the dog...
At that thought, Li Fan couldn't help but say,
"When you co back, I'll let the goose out for you to tend."
After all, frequent outings had Li Fan worried that Da De might fall behind in his studies.
Da De paused slightly, feeling sowhat frightened.
Getting bitten by a dog or scorched by Phoenix True Fire was already more than enough.
Adding a few geese to the mix, how was he to survive the days!
Yet, he still nodded stiffly and said,
"Alright, Master."
anwhile, Jiang Li also got up and said,
"Master, I will go with Brother Long."
He planned to take the tortoise out to see if there were any gains.
Li Fan nodded, saying,
"Yes, that's fine."
More people would make better care.
Imdiately, Long Zixuan and Jiang Li, along with Wu Dade, Big Black Dog, and the Little Turtle, got ready to leave.
"Oh, right,"
At that mont, Li Fan suddenly rembered sothing else and said,
"Rember to stop by Second Elder's house to look for a fishing net to bring along."
"Since you're going to the seaside, catch so seafood to try."
"We're running low on at at ho anyway."
Since coming to this world, Li Fan hadn't had the chance to properly enjoy seafood.
Mainly because he had always lived in the "mountains", with no opportunities near seas or rivers.
So, Li Fan didn't have any fishing nets prepared, and only Second Elder's house still had one stashed away, hence Li Fan asked them to get one from Second Elder.
Hearing this, the group of disciples beca quite excited.
"Catch seafood?"
Yun Xi's eyes lit up imdiately.
"That sounds like fun... Junior Brother Jiang Li, I love lobster, bring back a bunch for !"
Zi Ling put down her brush and spoke eagerly,
"Multicolored fish, mantis shrimp... don't forget them."
"Clams, sea snails... hmm, bring back more if there are rmaids!"
Everyone suddenly beca bustling, giving instructions.
Long Zixuan couldn't help but pause, catching seafood...
His master had especially instructed him; he felt that this ti, the sea was likely hiding ample big catches.
Probably, they would encounter quite a few "large" creatures...
"Okay, we will definitely work hard!"
They spoke and then imdiately bid farewell to Li Fan.
After leaving the small courtyard, Long Zixuan and the two others went directly to Second Elder's ho.
The Second Elder was sitting under his gourd trellis, sipping yellow wine and admiring the gourds.
Seeing them arrive, Second Elder was delighted and said,
"Da De, what brings you here?"
"Co over, sit, and have so wine with Second Elder. I'll go slaughter a chicken right now!"
Hearing this, Long Zixuan and the others smiled.
"Second Elder, there's no need; we are here on our master's order for a trip to the seaside."
"Our master asked us to borrow your fishing net and bring so seafood back to the village."
Second Elder, hearing this, was quite pleased. He said,
"Going to the seaside? That's great!"
"Co, co, let get you the fishing net."
He led them to his storeroom, where they dusted off an old fishing net.
"I haven't fished in many years... Luckily, it's still in good condition and usable."
Second Elder, smiling, patted the fishing net and handed it to Long Zixuan, saying,
"This is the net I made myself when I was young..."
"Back then, there wasn't anything your Second Elder hadn't tried eating..."
His eyes were filled with reminiscence.
Jiang Li was surprised and asked,
"Second Elder, you used to fish when you were young?"
Second Elder replied with a smile,
"Yes, I used to enjoy catching big fish. Hmm, I've fished out many places... This net is quite handy, it could scoop up a whole pond's fish at once."
However, hearing Second Elder's simple recount, Long Zixuan and Jiang Li exchanged glances.
They felt that these were not ordinary big fish.
And this pond, probably wasn't an ordinary pond either!
Wu Dade spoke in a carefree manner,
"Second Elder, don't worry, this ti we will definitely let you taste the flavor of your youth!"
"Sir, we will be off now and will have a feast together when we return."
Without further delay, they took the fishing net and left.
Long Zixuan first visited the Oath Keeping Valley.
Wu Xiaokun and Xuan Qingyi had already distributed the items they brought from the outside world to their clansn.
Resources worth several tens of billions, plus hundreds of billions of Origin Stones...
Moreover, the village had also acquired a fist-sized stone.
It was the real body of the Northern Martial Arts Gold List, containing nurous Martial Sovereign thods!
The current people of the Oathguard Clan could be said to have an astonishing foundation.
It wasn't inferior to any Six Realms Power.
Wu Xiaokun and Xuan Qingyi accompanied Long Zixuan and the others onwards to the Southern Territory.
Leaving the Deadman Wilderness.
"Deadman Wilderness is located in the Far North Land of the Northern Border, and we need to go to Zhenhaicheng in the far south of the Southern Territory. It will take a very long ti... Big Brother Long, shall we look for a Teleportation Array?"
Wu Xiaokun hesitantly suggested, casting a worried glance at the Big Black Dog.
He truly didn't dare let the Big Black Dog make a move again.
However, at that mont, the tortoise on Jiang Li's shoulder suddenly stood up, hands on hips, and raising its head, said:
"Teleportation Array? Still looking for one? Do you think I don't exist?"
"Bring the Origin Stones, and let show you what a heaven-defying Teleportation Array looks like!"
Hearing this, Xuan Qingyi and Wu Xiaokun both looked at the Tortoise with a bit of fear.
"Tortoise, um... are you reliable?"
Long Zixuan couldn't help but ask.
Previously, Da Hei had indeed scared them a lot.
"Don't worry, my array is ranked third in the entire universe!"
Having said that, it waved its paws, and the Origin Stones imdiately converged into an array.
"Da Hei, pay close attention and learn!"
It looked at Big Black Dog with pride.
Soon, the array ford by the Origin Stones flashed with light.
A group of people disappeared from their original spot.
...
At this mont,
Southern Territory,
People from various domains had almost all arrived at the Southern Peninsula and were heading towards Zhenhaicheng.
At the sa mont,
Inside Zhenhaicheng,
"What? Wu Song betrayed his people and led n to dig open the great tomb in Deadman Wilderness?"
Clan leader Wu Zhenhai, listening to Wu Qi's report, was surprised.
"That's impossible!"
Wu Mingshan directly interjected, with firm conviction,
"Wu Song is utterly loyal and would never betray his oath!"
However, Wu Qi said,
"Reporting to the clan leader, Big Brother Mingshan, it's absolutely true!"
"This is the proof of Wu Song's betrayal."
Wu Qi stepped forward, presenting a brocade box.
Wu Mingshan's face darkened as he took the brocade box and opened it imdiately.
Wu Zhenhai also leaned forward to look.
But, a wisp of blue smoke instantly rose from the box.
"Not good..."
Wu Mingshan's expression changed as he hastily threw the brocade box away, but the blue smoke had already entered his body.
He and Wu Zhenhai imdiately felt their bodies go numb, rendering them unable to summon any origin power.
"This is... poison..."
Wu Zhenhai pointed at Wu Qi, asking,
"You... why would you do this?"
Wu Mingshan fell to the ground, his eyes fiercely angry, saying,
"He is the real traitor!"
And Wu Qi rely smiled slightly, saying,
"Congratulations, you are right."
"But unfortunately, it's too late."
He walked over, saying,
"Tell , how can we open the barrier of Zhenhai Great Wall!"
He demanded!
—The Ban Explorers had already infiltrated Zhenhaicheng, inspecting the Great Wall.
But with the barrier in place, it was impossible to open. Even the strongest among the Ban Explorers could do nothing.
Hence, Hei Luo and others arranged for Wu Qi to stage this entire act.
Hearing this, Wu Zhenhai suddenly burst into laughter, "Ha ha, ha ha ha ha..."
"What are you laughing at?" Wu Qi angrily shouted.
"Wu Qi, oh Wu Qi, I laugh at your foolishness!"
Wu Zhenhai spoke,
"How would telling you matter? The thod to open the Great Wall barrier isn't a secret!"
"The Oathguard erges, the barrier can be broken, the sea tomb reopens!"
"This is the ancestral teaching!"
"You want to break the barrier? Ha ha ha ha... you must first find the Oathguard!"
His eyes were filled with scorn.
Wu Qi was dood not to achieve his goal.
They, the Tomb Guardians, had guarded the great tomb for generations, waiting for the so-called Oathguard, but for hundreds of thousands of years... had there ever been a so-called Oathguard?
In a sense, the clan had long regarded the so-called Oathguard as nothing more than a mythical legend.
"If you can find the Oathguard, heh... you wouldn't need to betray the clan, I would give you my position as clan leader, how about that?"
Wu Zhenhai spoke.
Hearing this, Wu Qi was montarily stunned.
The Oathguard?
What should he do?
"I don't need you to worry about whether I can find him or not!"
Wu Qi said, and he imdiately imprisoned Wu Mingshan and Wu Zhenhai.
Then, he entered another grand hall.
In this grand hall, Zhao Jixiao sat upright, Hei Luo stood beside him, and there was another person whom Wu Qi particularly disliked… Ao Wushuang.
Wu Qi reported the situation, his face gloomy, saying,
"My lord... finding the Oathguard is like searching for a needle in a vast ocean..."
Hei Luo and the others also frowned.
"A needle in the vast ocean?"
Zhao Jixiao's eyes narrowed, saying,
"Even if it's like finding a needle in a vast ocean, you must find it!"
"Stay put and wait!"
"In today's era of great turmoil, if this Oathguard that you Tomb Guardians speak of truly exists, he should appear in this lifeti."
...
anwhile,
Southern Territory, Qingtai State.
"Who exactly are you?"
"So powerful, why have we never heard of you before?"
"Why target us?"
A group of Martial Genius lay on the ground, wailing.
Among them, a young man in a white robe, with an elegant deanor, stood with his hands behind his back, like a favored son of heaven.
The only slightly mismatch was the nurous blisters at the corner of his mouth,
which marred the aesthetic.
"You may revere my na."
"Yang Tian!"
The young man in the white robe spoke coldly.
—Since he had arrived in the Southern Territory, he had fought his way through like this.
"How much longer until Zhenhaicheng?"
He looked upwards and asked.
An elderly man beside him answered,
"There's another state in between."
The young man in the white robe nodded, saying,
"Along the way, I have already defeated hundreds... but it's not enough!"
"I want to defeat everyone!"
"I... want to walk the path of Martial Honor and achieve an invincible stature!"
His cry almost seed to tear the heavens apart!
Then... the heavens cracked.
Several figures suddenly appeared from within the sky, directly crashing down.
Yang Tian was startled but didn't manage to dodge in ti and was directly hit!
"Damn!"
