Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Land of Oblivion_1
Qin Feiyang checked carefully and found that Fatty and the others had rely fallen unconscious.
Relieved, he looked up at the old woman, asking, "What must we do for you to let us leave?"
Given the old witch’s strength, killing them would be a breeze. But she had not done so yet. Therefore, she must have ulterior motives.
"You are indeed a clever young man."
"Go to a place and help
find sothing," the old woman said.
"What place? And what thing?" Qin Feiyang asked.
"In the Land of Oblivion, there is a Sixth Grade Elixir Fla called the Skythunder Fla. I want you to retrieve it for ," the old woman said, her aged eyes filled with yearning.
"A Sixth Grade Elixir Fla!" Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered.
Sixth Grade Elixir Flas were extrely rare. To his knowledge, there was only one even in the Imperial Capital.
Unexpectedly, Spirit State actually had one! But where is this Land of Oblivion? He was quite familiar with the territory of the Great Qin Empire, yet he had never heard of this place.
Qin Feiyang asked, "Senior, could you first reveal what kind of place the Land of Oblivion is?"
The old woman replied, "The Land of Oblivion is an ancient site I discovered in my younger days."
"An ancient site!" Qin Feiyang exclaid in surprise.
Just then, the old woman flicked her finger. A black beam of light shot into Qin Feiyang’s mouth like a flash of lightning.
Qin Feiyang instantly felt sothing drill into his body.
"What did you do to ?" he asked, his expression changing as he quickly focused his consciousness inward.
He saw a wisp of black airflow coursing through his body, heading straight for his heart! He hastily mobilized his Battle Intent, lunging at the black airflow.
However, neither his Purple-Gold Dragon Energy, Fla Battle Intent, nor his Crimson Sword Qi could shatter the black airflow. Nor could they expel the black airflow from his body.
"This is the Black Fiendish Poison."
"It is a potent toxin I spent three years formulating from ninety-nine types of poisons and venoms."
"A single drop is enough to kill a War Ancestor-level hegemon."
"It will rge with your heart and can take your insignificant life at any mont."
"Don’t think of using Detoxification Pills, because it’s useless."
"Only my specially concocted antidote can completely eradicate the Black Fiendish Poison," the old woman stated.
Qin Feiyang’s face turned pale. This old witch is too vicious!
The old woman then produced a jade vial. It contained a transparent liquid, about half a vial full.
"This isn’t the antidote, but it can suppress the poison’s flare-up."
"Take one drop every month, and it will preserve your insignificant life."
"When you return from the Land of Oblivion and bring
the Skythunder Fla, I will give you the antidote."
After saying this, the old woman tossed the jade vial to Qin Feiyang. He caught it, glaring at her furiously. This old witch is far too cunning!
The old woman said, "If I were you, I’d take a drop imdiately."
Before her voice had even faded, Qin Feiyang felt an intense tearing sensation in his heart, as if it were being ripped to shreds!
He hastily poured out a drop of the transparent liquid and swallowed it. The effect was imdiate; the pain in his heart vanished.
"When the Black Fiendish Poison isn’t flaring up, everything will be as normal, so don’t worry about it affecting your cultivation."
"However, there are only sixty drops in this jade vial, aning you have five years."
"If you haven’t co out of the Land of Oblivion after five years, then you can only pray for your own fortune," the old woman said.
Qin Feiyang asked in a low voice, "You are so powerful, why don’t you go in yourself?"
"Because the entrance is restricted. Only those below the Nine-Star War King level can enter." According to the old woman, after discovering this restriction, she had been waiting.
She was waiting for a young person capable enough to reach Butterfly Valley. After all, the journey from the State City to Butterfly Valley was fraught with danger. Anyone able to reach Butterfly Valley would undoubtedly possess considerable ans. Thus, their chances of entering the Land of Oblivion and obtaining the Skythunder Fla would also be greater.
Hearing this, Qin Feiyang was stunned, taking a long mont to recover. After a while, he said with a forced smile, "Senior, you’ve misunderstood. This junior is simply not that capable."
He then briefly recounted his encounter with the Mountain Burrowing Beast and how he found the shortcut.
"I know all of that," the old woman said, a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "I’ve also seen the Mountain Burrowing Beast co to steal dicinal herbs several tis. However, even though you took a shortcut, it only proves that you are exceptional in many aspects."
If it had been anyone else, they wouldn’t have thought to ask the Mountain Burrowing Beast about the origin of those ten Red Fire Glazed Trees. They certainly wouldn’t have thought of a shortcut to Butterfly Valley. This shows that this young man before
has a very agile mind.
Furthermore, knowing that Butterfly Valley was located in the deepest part of the mountain range and posed great risks, he still dared to co. This demonstrates considerable courage. She needed precisely such a young man.
Qin Feiyang said helplessly, "It seems I cannot escape this today."
"You can escape if you die. Do you want to die, or live?"
"Of course, I won’t have you run this errand for nothing," the old woman tempted. "When you return, all the dicinal herbs in Butterfly Valley will be yours. Furthermore, I will gift you several perfect battle techniques."
"For real?" Qin Feiyang asked.
"I never make empty promises. Besides, you have no choice right now."
"Bring them and co with !" The old woman stomped her foot. The ground beside her slid apart, revealing a gloomy passage. She stepped into it.
Is the entrance to that Land of Oblivion down here? Qin Feiyang wondered with surprise and suspicion. He sent Fatty, Wolf King, and the Mountain Burrowing Beast to the ancient castle, then quickly followed.
As the old woman said, he no longer had a choice. And frankly, he himself wanted to see the Land of Oblivion. After all, a Sixth Grade Elixir Fla was simply too enticing.
If he could obtain it, perhaps he could refine Top Grade pills with three, or even four or five Elixir Patterns! This would be imnsely helpful for his eventual return to the Imperial Capital.
The hidden passage sloped downward. After walking for less than an hour, Qin Feiyang finally saw an ancient stone door. It was probably deep within the earth’s core.
The old woman waved her hand. Battle Intent surged out and rged into the stone door. CLANG! The stone door swung open rapidly.
A majestic aura surged out like a tidal wave. Qin Feiyang’s pupils contracted. This aura is too astounding! What on earth is behind this stone door?
The old woman, however, showed no surprise, her expression calm as she strode inside.
It was a stone chamber, roughly a dozen ters across. In the center stood an ancient altar.
The altar was entirely blood-red, as if saturated with fresh blood, and it exuded a mysterious aura. The majestic aura originated from this very altar.
Qin Feiyang walked in, gazing at the altar, his eyes filled with curiosity. This is the first ti I’ve ever seen such a thing.
The old woman examined the altar, an unreadable glint in her eyes. Then, she turned to Qin Feiyang, and the glint in her eyes disappeared.
"If you have any last wishes, tell
now. If you don’t make it out in five years, I will fulfill them for you," the old woman said.
Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. Is she trying to jinx ?
After a mont’s thought, Qin Feiyang nodded. "This junior does indeed have one last wish. I just don’t know if Senior can accomplish it."
The old woman declared proudly, "On this land, there is nothing I cannot do."
That capable? Qin Feiyang was taken aback. "If this junior unfortunately perishes, then I implore Senior to help
destroy the Great Qin Empire!"
"Hmph?" The old woman’s body trembled. A terrifyingly cold light erupted in her eyes. "Are you trying to make a fool of ?"
"Senior, you were the one who said there’s nothing you can’t do. Why bla
now?" Qin Feiyang said with an innocent expression.
The old woman frowned, her face darkening. "Anything but that."
"Then let’s forget it. Other matters, this junior can handle myself." Qin Feiyang continued, "However... I’d like to bid farewell to two people."
"Impossible. From this mont on, you are not to contact anyone," the old woman refused flatly. She pointed her index finger at the altar, and Battle Intent gushed from her fingertip, continuously pouring into it.
Suddenly, the altar began to radiate streaks of blood-red light! As more Battle Intent flowed in, the sanguine glow intensified. Eventually, the entire altar was incandescent.
anwhile, large beads of sweat had ford on the old woman’s forehead. Evidently, reactivating the altar was no easy feat.
Once the altar was fully reactivated, the old woman, without a word, waved her hand. A vast, mighty force swept towards Qin Feiyang.
Instantly, Qin Feiyang lost control of his body and was flung onto the altar.
"Wait, Senior, this junior still has one more question I’d like to ask—" Qin Feiyang cried out hastily.
"AHH—" But before he could finish, he felt as if his body was being torn asunder. An indescribable, excruciating pain engulfed him. Even with his ntal fortitude, he couldn’t help but let out a bloodcurdling scream.
Simultaneously, his vision went black; he could see nothing. He could only sense his body moving rapidly.
At this mont, every second was an endless tornt for Qin Feiyang. He had no idea how much ti had passed.
THUD! He felt as if he had plunged into water. A bone-chilling cold current instantly enveloped him.
Instantly, he regained consciousness. He opened his eyes to see clear water. Where am I? Qin Feiyang looked around, bewildered.
The water was frigid, but still within tolerable limits. He hastily swam upwards.
Suddenly, he sensed a crisis rapidly approaching! Looking down, he imdiately saw three colossal pythons.
Each python was over ten ters long, with a body as thick as a water bucket, and their narrow eyes glinted with a sinister, cold light. Furthermore, their bodies were covered in a layer of snow-white scales!
What species of python is this? Why have I never seen them before? Qin Feiyang’s eyes widened. Battle Intent surged forth, and he shot towards the surface like an arrow.
The three colossal pythons gave chase relentlessly! Moreover, their speed was several tis greater than Qin Feiyang’s.
"War Emperor-level ferocious beasts!" Qin Feiyang was alard. To encounter such terrifying cold-blooded creatures right upon arrival, isn’t my luck too rotten?
Without hesitation, he ducked into the ancient castle.
Fatty, Wolf King, and the Mountain Burrowing Beast had all awakened.
"Why do you look so bedraggled?" The mont Qin Feiyang entered, Fatty, Wolf King, and Lu Hong gathered around him, their faces filled with astonishnt.
