The Great Wild God - Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Young Wu Yang
Although the wasteland north of Python Teeth Ridge was still in the midst of ice and snow, the ice and snow in the Azure Water Wasteland had quietly melted. Streams and rivers that stretched across the wasteland also began to thaw. Floating ice blocked the rivers, and spring water flooded and flooded everywhere.

After enduring the bitter winter, hunting squads from the barbarian tribes that lived in the high hills also entered the depths of the swamp to hunt their prey and prepare for the spring festival.

The hundreds of thousands of tribes in the Azure Wasteland were all under the control of the Su Clan. Although it was not to the extent that they could tell what to do, they did not dare to harm the Su Clan’s disciples.

After crossing Python Fang Ridge and traveling nearly two thousand li south, she arrived at Azure Water City, but for Su Tang, whose cultivation had already recovered to the peak of the True Yang Realm, it was only four to five days’ walk.

Seeing the city gate open, Su Tang still felt intimate. She thought back to the bitter training in the wilderness in the past winter. She was truly shocked, but she also made people feel unlimited longing for her.

Nostalgic for what?

Thinking of Chen Xun’s childish yet mature face, Su Tang felt warmth in her heart.

Pedestrians flew in and out. After surviving the lonely winter, some merchant convoys began to bring their goods out of the city gates, heading deeper into the Azure Water Wilderness to trade with the Wilderness Tribes.

Su Tang thought to herself, perhaps not long after, the Yunzhou Travel Guild east of Tu Shan would also cross Tu Shan and enter Azure Water City.

Just as Su Tang was about to enter the city, she suddenly saw clouds surging in the mountains a hundred miles north of Azure Water City, and the scaled clouds in the low sky were emitting a golden light.

“Ah, Patriarch came out of seclusion?” Su Tang exclaimed. That was the Su Clan’s ancestral mausoleum.

Her cultivation hadn’t fully recovered, and she couldn’t sense the changes in spiritual energy a hundred miles away. However, looking at the flock of birds gathering on the mountain peak, she knew that there was a huge amount of spiritual energy gathering there, which was why the Golden Scaled Cloud Qi anomaly was triggered.

Apart from the Patriarch, Su Tang did not know who else could trigger such a phenomenon during normal cultivation.

Su Tang immediately gave up on entering the city and followed the path covered with snow in the north of the city, heading towards the mountains where the clouds surged. At the same time, several rays of light flew out of Azure Water City, heading in the direction of Mausoleum Mountain.

“Sect Master, Fourth Granduncle, Ninth Granduncle, Thirteenth Uncle …”

Su Tang’s cultivation hadn’t recovered yet, so she could only walk along the ridge. Looking at the rays of light sweeping across the mountain peak from afar, she could tell that the people who had left the city were all the big shots of the clan.

When she reached the Mausoleum Mountain out of breath, she saw the Heavenly Cloud Altar above the Mausoleum Mountain. The Sect Master, Fourth Granduncle, Ninth Granduncle, Thirteenth Uncle, and the others were all standing beside the Patriarch. All of them were important figures in the clan.

At this moment, when she saw her clan’s relatives, there was no need to suppress the suffering of the Wilderness. Su Tang raised her hand and called out, “Patriarch, Sect Leader!”

“Eh!”

Su Tang stood under the Cloud Altar. The Su Clan’s Sect Master turned his head and looked over. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a rainbow and descended into the Cloud Altar. He opened his bright eyes and sized her up. He asked in surprise, “Why are you injured so badly?”

“I met an evil ape in Xi Jun and was wounded by it. It took me a long time to get back to Cang Lan.” Su Tang said.

“We’ll talk about it later …”

The Sect Master released his Spirit Essence, condensed the cloud energy, held Su Tang’s feet, and flew to the top of the Cloud Altar.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Su Tang’s soul shatter and her cultivation had actually fallen to the True Yang Realm. They didn’t know what had happened to Su Tang’s trip to the Wilderness. However, he also stared at the changes in the golden-scaled cloud energy at the top of the sky with concern.

Only then did Su Tang see the Patriarch standing amongst the crowd, no longer devouring the profound breath of heaven and earth, but the golden scaled cloud energy at the top of the sky did not dissipate, causing the mountains to tremble faintly.

The golden-scaled cloud energy within a hundred-mile radius even showed signs of gathering further. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged towards the opposite cliff like a tidal wave-the profound spiritual energy was actually so dense that it condensed into clouds. Only a blurry figure appeared in the stone cliff niche and sat cross-legged. He was absorbing this massive amount of profound spiritual energy, unable to see who it was.

“Who is it?” Su Tang asked. It was only then that she was certain that someone in the clan had broken through to the peak of the Azure Yang Realm and advanced to the Reincarnation Realm. However, she did not know who was currently breaking through to the Azure Yang Realm after leaving the Azure Water Realm for a few months. She actually needed the Patriarch to personally protect her.

“It’s Wu Yang” Patriarch’s white eyebrows were as frosty as frost. Seeing that Wu Yang had already passed the most difficult obstacle, he was breathing in a huge amount of spiritual energy to reconstruct his fetal body. Only then did he restrain his mind and turn around to say to Su Tang.

“No way. Wu Yang is only sixteen years old, and his Soul Sea Alien is even harder to break through to the True Yang Realm than my Veluriyam Realm …” Su Tang heard from Patriarch Wu Yang that he was cultivating in the Cliff Head Shrine. She was also deeply shocked. She had thought that Wu Yang could advance to the Reincarnation Realm before she was thirty years old. Even if she cultivated at a high speed, she had never thought that Wu Yang would be able to make such rapid progress in her cultivation just a few months after she left Azure Water.

The Su Clan’s Sect Master smiled and said, “This is all thanks to your thirteenth uncle bringing back a mongoose’s precious bone from Python Fang Ridge. It was only then that you managed to gather all the spirit medicines needed to refine the Void Realm Nine Dragons Talisman …”

“Wu Yang has already refined the Void Realm Nine Dragons Talisman?” Su Tang asked in surprise. She was shocked. The ancestor had cultivated for hundreds of years and only had two Dao Symbols with him. She never thought that one of them would be called Wu Yang Refining. No wonder Wu Yang was able to break through to the True Yang Realm so easily.

It turned out that he had used the supreme Dao power contained in the Nine Dragons Void Realm Talisman to advance into the Reincarnation Realm.

“Wu Yang hasn’t advanced to the Heaven Origin Realm yet. It’s still too early to truly refine the Void Realm Nine Dragons Talisman.” Ancestor Frost’s eyebrows trembled slightly as he warned, “The matter of Wu Yang’s soul sea hiding the Void Realm Nine Dragons Talisman is a top secret of our clan. Even if the Golden Scaled Cloud Qi produced by the breakthrough Realm of Wu Yang today is not allowed to leak out. Tell the outside that it was caused by me …”

The Sect Master nodded and said to Deputy Su Qingfeng,

“Python Fang Ridge actually hid mongoose bones, is really somewhat unfathomable, looks like Python Fang Ridge side really want to manage well, but also not to stimulate Mystical Frost Sect too much. Commandant Su Wu’s Manor recommended the disciples of the Black Python to enter the palace as a way to win them over. This is fine. Our clan indeed needs to subdue the hearts of the tribes of the Python Fang Ridge to block Mystical Frost Sect’s excuse. However, you must also remember that the Black Python has always been our clan’s greatest enemy for a thousand years. No matter how weak it is now, we cannot let down lightly … ”

“The Azure Summit will remember the words of the Sect Master.” Su Qingfeng said coldly.

Everyone knew that the Sect Master’s cautious temperament might not be of much concern, but when Su Tang heard this, her heart trembled.

The Patriarch hadn’t asked about the matters in the clan for many years, so he didn’t care much about the Su Clan’s Sect Master’s instructions to Su Qingfeng. His pair of old eyes flickered with a golden light that was as solid as condensation. From the golden light, a ray of spiritual energy separated out and crossed into Su Tang’s profound aperture. After probing for a long time, he asked, “You suffered such a serious injury, why didn’t you return to Canglan earlier?”

Su Tang fought with the Evil Ape. Her injuries were far more severe than others had imagined. If it weren’t for Chen Xun, she wouldn’t have been able to return to Cang Lan alone. However, she didn’t dare to tell the truth when she heard the Sect Master’s suspicion of the Black Python.

Wu Yang entered the Reincarnation Realm. It affected the clouds within a hundred kilometers, They were already called Patriarchs and Sect Leaders. They were so surprised, If they knew that Chen Xun, who was born into the Black Python, had a cultivation at the sixth level of the Barbarian realm, the Soul Sea Alien Phase would be able to affect three to four hundred kilometers of profound breathing spiritual energy, as well as white bones, raw flesh, and spirit energy moulding abilities, wouldn’t it be disadvantageous to Chen Xun?

Su Tang immediately concealed the fact that she had met Chen Xun. She only said that after a fierce battle with the Divine Ape, it was difficult to return to Canglan all the way. She thought about other things and waited for Chen Xun to arrive at Canglan before discussing them …

“Why are you so careless? You and Wu Yang are the disciples of our clan who have the best chance of advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm in a hundred years. Your injury will probably fall behind Wu Yang’s.” The Patriarch frowned and said, “From today onwards, you will be cultivating in seclusion here. Don’t go back to the city until you fully recover …”

**********************

Chen Xun naturally didn’t know what had happened in the mountains north of Azure Water City two thousand kilometers away. After leaving the Gushan Stone Village, he wandered around the wilderness for a few more days before turning south and returning to the Black Python with a hint of reluctance.

One day later, Chen Xun arrived at the north bank of Wild Horse Stream. From afar, he saw dozens of barbarians covered in animal skins standing on Wild Horse Stream, cutting through thick layers of ice with stone axes.

The leader was a bronze-chested barbarian youth wrapped in beast hide. He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was nearly two meters tall, and his body was covered in blood veins. It was like a thick totem that had the strength to temper tendons. He was at the sixth level of the Barbarian realm. It looked like he was also the leader of this group of barbarians who were chopping ice and fishing on Wildhorse Stream.

The youth’s upper body was naked, and there was a ring of beast teeth hanging on his chest. The cold air was exposed, but his entire body was emitting steam. He was holding a giant spear and commanding his clansmen to cut through the ice.

Although the extreme cold profound energy had quietly dissipated, the wasteland north of Python Fang Ridge was still a land of ice and snow.

This place was located in the middle reaches of Wild Horse Stream’s Python Teeth Ridge. The valley was deep and wide, with two to three thousand meters of width on both sides.

The entire river was still frozen firmly, but due to the dissipation of the extreme cold profound energy, although the frozen layer above the river had not thinned, it was no longer as hard as iron.

Every time the Wildlands tribes used stone axes and iron spears to cut open the ice layer, the fish and beasts that had been hiding under the ice layer all winter would rush out of the ice eyes and breathe fresh air.

For the barbarian tribes that still couldn’t weave nets, and couldn’t find the materials to weave nets in the mountains, they would be able to harvest far more than they had when they chopped through the ice to catch fish.

This was the first time Chen Xun had seen someone fishing in this way in the Realm of Heaven. Although he was curious, the other party wasn’t a member of the Black Python Clan, and Chen Xun didn’t dare to rush over to join in the fun.

At this moment, he had returned to his heart like an arrow. He didn’t know if the Black Python had managed to survive this bitter winter smoothly.

The dozens of barbarians spent half a day to finally cut open the ice layer. The ice hole was like a fountain. Countless large silver-scaled fish flew out like arrows and landed on the ice sheet with a “pa pa” sound.

The barbarians used spears, forks, and spikes to drag the big fish to the shore. In an instant, they had collected dozens of big fish.

The situation in front of him made Chen Xun feel that the survival wisdom of the Wildlands Race was not low.

Just as Chen Xun was about to sneak around and cross the wild horse stream, he felt a slight tremor coming from beneath his feet.

Chen Xun was shocked. He knew that underneath the ice cap, there would definitely be a ferocious beast in the water diving at an extremely fast speed. He took off the giant bow behind him and sprinted towards the dozens of barbarians. He loudly reminded the unaware Fishing Barbarians,

“Get out of the way, get out of the way, there are exotic beasts underwater …”

The dozens of Wildlands Clansmen didn’t notice anything strange under the ice, but when they saw Chen Xun rushing over with his bow, he was as fast as a galloping horse, and his feet were stepping on ice and snow, their faces were filled with horror, and they couldn’t hear what Chen Xun was shouting.

These days, it was common for clans to kill each other for the sake of fishing and hunting.

Chen Xun’s momentum as he ran over was extremely shocking. That naked barbarian youth held a heavy spear and pointed it at Chen Xun from afar, stopping him from approaching. He shouted, “What are you going to do?”

Before the barbarian youth could finish his words, the ice cover covering Wildhorse Stream was like the crust of a volcano erupting. It suddenly bulged and exploded in an instant, causing huge ice blocks to shoot in all directions like stone bullets …
