A jade cup appeared in Tian's hand, and he poured himself a drink. Immediately, a phenomenon of the mythical qilin appeared on top of the wine, and the beast roared out loudly, which caused a commotion on the deck.
Elder Xia narrowed his eyes and made his body tremble slightly. He has been a lover of wine and has researched all types of wine all his life, so seeing the wine in Tian's possession made him lose his uncaring composure.
Tian ignored Elder Xia and started drinking the wine. He felt all his blood boil and his soul and body cleansed. He closed his eyes and savored the wine's flavor, and his action ignited Elder Xia passion for wine. Elder Xia immediately snatched the vial of wine from Tian's hand and poured himself a drink; he did not waste any time on ceremony before drinking the wine in one gulp.
Tian did not mind Elder Xia's action; in fact, he was pleased to see this straightforward action of his; moreover, this was his plan from the start.
After a minute, Elder Xia managed to calm his body, then he looked into Tian's eyes and said, "Young man, where did you get this Qilin flower wine?" He asked with great curiosity in his tone.
" Secret". Tian replied in a calm and simple tone, but surprisingly, he did not sense any greed or malicious intent in Elder Xiao; in fact, the man only nodded and continued drinking the rest of the wine.
Tian also did not say anything, and they both continued to drink the wine and enjoy the calm atmosphere around them. After 40 minutes, Tian stood up, but before he left, he dropped another five vials of the Qilin flower wine on the table before walking away to his cabinet.
Elder Xia stared at Tian back for a while before he kept the wines away, but in his heart he was grateful, and he knows what must be done to repay the kindness.
Five hours later, the huge flying ship stopped in the middle of a desolate land. There was no sign of life in the region, but in the middle of this vast region stood a dark portal. Immediately, the elder fang voice resounds throughout the ship to inform everyone of their arrival.
All the one-thousand core disciples and the two Evil child get down from the ship and must of them was surprised to see such land that is devoid of any life.
Tian felt the abnormality of this land, so he used his universal heavenly eye secretly. He discovered that all the life force of this land was being absorbed by the portal, but surprisingly, he couldn't see through the portal. Tian did not give up, so he directed more chaos energy into his eyes, and immediately runes appeared in his eyes. These runes shone brightly, and they started revolving in mysterious ways.
Immediately Tian was able to see some images, but these images were blurry. He did not give up, so he directed more energy into his eyes, and then he was able to see images of a world. In this world, there were people standing high in the sky, covered in pure white energy, and below them were millions of people bowing down to them and chanting some words. These millions of people's words are transformed into different types of runes that float toward the beings floating in the sky.
Tian saw this type of scene in every corner of the universe, but then he decided to see through the blinding white light covering the beings floating, but he immediately directed his gaze to those beings. He received a great backlash, blood started oozing out from his eyes, and he received an attack to his soul that caused cracks around every corner of his soul like cosmo.
Tian grunted, and he almost lost his consciousness, but then elder Xia appeared behind him. He placed his hand behind Tian and transferred some energy to help Tian stabilize his condition. Immediately, Tian felt some comforting energy in his soul. He quickly started circulating his technique, and after five minutes, Tian was able to stabilize his condition.
"Thank you elder Xia". Tian said with great gratitude.
"young man, you really went too far trying to peer through secrets that are beyond you, good thing you have a strong soul, if not, your soul will have been annihilated immediately". Elder xia said to Tian.
Tian knew he went too far this time, but he couldn't help his curiosity at that time. If not for elder Xia interfering with his attempts in time, he might really have lost his life immediately. He breathed in relief, but the pain in his eyes was still there, so he used his soul to search for anything he could use in the treasure room in his soul world. Luckily for him, he found an eye patch, so he took it out and wore it.
Ahead of them, elder Fang also saw what happened with Tian, and he knew exactly what Tian did. Then a smirk appeared on his face, and he said, "Since you've seen what you shouldn't have seen, be ready for the calamity that comes with it. Hehehe, it seems I won't have to do anything to clear you away from our path since you've drawn calamity to yourself". Elder Fang muttered to himself with a chuckle.
Tian saw elder fang action from the corner of his left eye, but he ignored it since he couldn't tell what was on the mind of the man, but he knew it couldn't be anything good.
"Elder Tian, do you know the image i saw and what it means?" Tian asked.
"sigh… you still not willing to give up?.. anyway i can't tell anything about, the karma attached to that secret is too much for you, moreover you already accumulated some of the karma already, so you should be worried about that first". Elder Xia explained to him calmly. And this make Tian more confused.
" What karma if i may ask". Tian asked, even though he has read about karma and secrets, he doesn't understand how it works vividly.
"Listen, young man, to every secret of the past, or heaven secrets, there is a huge karma attached to it, and only those who can bear the karma will look for the secret; in fact, some words spoken have karma attached to them, and the heaven will surely get back to anyone with great karma, either through tribulations or a great calamity should befall them, so be careful next time." Elder Xia explained.
But before Tian could ask more questions in his mind, a loud rumbling rang out through out the region, and behind them they saw a huge crack appear in the space, then a huge black coffin with red runes around it emerged from it. This coffin is as big as the huge space ship that brought Tian's group to the region.
Tian narrow his eyes upon feeling the vast corpse energy the coffin was emitting, this is the arrival of the people from the barbarian Evil corpse empire.
The coffin floated slowly closer to the Tian group, and then the coffin lid slid open. Immediately, huge figures with corpse auras stand out from the coffin; they are really huge and tall; moreover, the two figures leading this group have an aura that is as strong as that of Elder Fan and Elder Xiao.
Also, there are a total of 1,500 members following behind the two figures; among these disciples, there were three who stood out among the whole group.
They are the corpse child of their empire, and the corpse energy they are emitting is so strong that it overwhelms everybody in the evil dragon empire.
They were two young man and one lady, but they were all huge.
"You see those three at the front; they are three of the five corpse children of the barbarian evil corpse empire; they are strong, so you need to be careful of them, because there is no way you won't clash with them. Also, there will be other members of the remaining two empires coming to this realm, but they will enter the secret realm from another portal". Elder Xia explained this to both Tian and Michael.
"But were they born this huge, and what's the deal with the corpse energy?" Tian asked, because he felt intimidated a little by the aura emitted by those three members.
"They are the descendants of the barbarian corpse god, and they all possess his bloodline; their bloodline and cultivation techniques they use enable them to turn any corpse into energy for themselves; they are fierce in nature, and they never abandoned any corpse they killed". Elder Xi explained before he continued "You see the tallest and the most built among those three; his name is Zhen Wu, and he is the strongest among those three; he is the younger brother of the first corpse child of their empire; he is a brute; also, all of them possessed a very terrifying body".
"As for the second young man, his name is Li Wei; he is also dangerous; be careful of him; while the last one is Xue'er; don't underestimate her; she is very strong also".
Elder Xia finishes his explanation before those huge people arrive beside them, and with each step they take, the space beneath their feet trembles, which portrays how strong their physical bodies were.
