Chapter 189: The sunset glows over the vast marshland, the autumn waters blend seamlessly with the s
Having learned that the three had safely reached the Myriad Spirits Domain, Zhang Ping had nothing to worry about.
The arrangements for the female demon clan have been made, so there is no need to return to the Great Wei.
I will stay here and have no more attachments.
Furthermore, with the power within him still eroding him, Zhang Ping only stayed in the desolate city for half a day, purchasing some supplies.
The next day happened to be the day the passage would open, so he arrived at the passage early, ready to go.
The morning light shines on a huge, floating white stone gate.
I don't know what kind of stone the doorway is; it looks a bit like marble, but it's finer.
The moment the dawn broke, the hollow passageway door suddenly trembled and burst forth with white light!
The next moment, with a ripple-like change, a scorching white vortex appeared before our eyes.
Zhang Ping observed the changes and wanted to explore and understand the underlying principles, but found that he couldn't see through them at all.
In the end, I simply started to enjoy it as a form of entertainment.
There were many other people around, dressed in various styles, but without exception, they all possessed considerable cultivation levels.
These people were all martial artists preparing to go to the Myriad Spirits Domain, and there were three or four hundred of them in total.
Most of them had spent some time in the desolate city and had witnessed the changes in the passage gate countless times. Even so, they all showed strange expressions.
Some people, like Zhang Ping, who had arrived nearly half a month ago, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The gate to the passage has been opened! Fellow Daoists, you may now embark on your journey."
The passage gate stabilized, and a figure in white robes flew into the air, addressing the crowd preparing to enter the passage.
"Thank you, Lord Bai Cang! We're off!" A man of ordinary appearance clasped his hands in greeting and stepped into the vortex.
The morning breeze was cool and refreshing, making everyone's robes flutter.
"I'm off!" A thin old man suddenly soared into the air, using his Marrow Marrow Realm strength to fly into the air.
"Fellow Daoists, I'm going too!"
"Brother Li, wait for me!"
"Me too..."
"The Great Realm of All Spirits, here I come..."
......
Each figure displayed a different emotion: excitement, anticipation, or determination.
Zhang Ping stood in the crowd, watching the figures pass by, and for some reason, a smile appeared on his usually calm face.
"A vast, brand new world, and here I come."
He mimicked the others, uttered this sentence, then hummed a cheerful tune and strolled away!
One after another, figures poured in, and the morning light transformed into a blazing sun.
As noon approached, Bai Cang glanced at the sky and surveyed the hesitant people around him, saying:
"The passage is about to close. Those who wish to enter should hurry, otherwise it will be a month before it reopens."
As he finished speaking, several people gritted their teeth, made up their minds, and entered the passage.
The others wore hesitant expressions, unsure about the unknown world beyond the passage.
Seeing this, Bai Cang didn't say anything more. He had seen countless people like this in the six months he had been stationed there, and those who dared not venture into unknown places would find it difficult to achieve martial arts mastery.
Just as the passage was about to close, a streak of light rushed in from afar.
She was a woman, carrying two swords, clean and capable, with a hint of urgency in her bright eyes.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the passage was still open.
"Thank goodness I made it in time!"
The person who came was Hua Zhu.
A praying mantis slowly crawled out of the girl's shoulder and tapped her on the head.
Hua Zhu cried out and flew into the passage amidst the astonished gazes of those around her.
Bai Cang saw a young girl who was a stranger at the Marrow Transformation Realm and was still so young. He wanted to greet her, but he didn't have time.
"Who was that just now? So young and already at the Marrow Refining Realm, I've never heard of such a thing before," someone below couldn't help but ask.
Nobody knows, and nobody answers.
In the distance, in the heart of the Great Wei Dynasty, lies the capital city.
The former imperial palace was razed to the ground in a war against demons and has not been restored to this day.
With the royal family gone, the Demon Extermination Bureau has become the ruling institution of the Great Wei Dynasty.
In the headquarters building, Chu Hanwei, carrying the Holy Sword and a small package, said a few words of farewell to Dao Yuanzi before preparing to head north.
"Sigh, now that you're gone, the Demon Extermination Division has no good successor. Cough cough..." Dao Yuanzi sighed, his old face showing regret. As he spoke, he aggravated his injuries, his chest heaving violently.
His pale face was as white as wall ash, without a trace of rosiness.
Seeing that Chu Hanwei didn't speak, but instead suddenly looked south, Dao Yuanzi seemed to know what she was thinking and advised, "That kid Zhang Ping is not simple. He won't die so easily. Perhaps you will run into him in the Myriad Spirits Domain."
This time, Chu Hanwei nodded.
Seeing this, Dao Yuanzi sighed inwardly.
After learning that Zhang Ping had gone alone to the demon's stronghold in the Southern Frontier to kill the demon lord, Chu Hanwei remained silent for a while.
Before the battle, Chu Hanwei made a promise to Zhang Ping and begged him to help, but was refused. She may have harbored resentment in her heart. After the battle, she learned the truth and was happy, but also blamed herself for misunderstanding Zhang Ping.
In particular, the fact that Zhang Ping's fate is currently unknown has become a worry that Chu Hanwei cannot let go of.
"I'm leaving now. Please take good care of yourself, Uncle-Master."
The sunset glow on the horizon, a vibrant orange hue in the summer sun.
The object landed on Chu Hanwei, giving off a unique charm.
With a fist and a hand salute, Chu Hanwei transformed into a streak of light and headed north.
Dao Yuanzi watched silently as Mo Tianhe hurriedly arrived behind him. Upon seeing the disappearing light, he couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"Oh dear! Junior Sister Chu, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I just rushed back from the south. I didn't even have time to see you off."
"Master, why didn't you let Junior Sister Chu stay another day, so that I could..."
Upon reaching Dao Yuanzi's side, Mo Tianhe couldn't help but complain.
Dao Yuanzi interrupted, "Alright, I know what you're thinking. The most valuable thing is self-awareness; some people are destined to be from a different world than us."
Upon hearing his words, Mo Tianhe opened his mouth, wanting to refute them.
But Dao Yuanzi's next sentence left him completely speechless.
"If you are willing to give up your position as the head of the Demon Extermination Bureau, then feel free to follow me."
Never mind, power is more important.
......
A new guest has arrived at Zhantai Mountain today.
Xu Rulin, dressed in a black robe, gazed at the five-fingered, towering mountain range before him.
The right hand, hidden beneath the black robe, extended, and the black stone in the palm glowed with an eerie light, pointing in one direction.
"Is this the new power?"
......
The sky is round and the earth is square; the sunset glows over the vast land for thousands of miles.
Mountains, rivers, lakes, and marshes are nestled within.
On the endless Luoxia Marsh, islands stretch as far as the eye can see, like endless sands on a river.
It can be located in a small village or town, or it can encompass a vast city or endless mountains and forests.
"Where is that person? He's traversed mountains and rivers!"
Wooden boat, old man, folk song, vast lake.
The sunset glows and a lone wild goose fly together; the autumn waters blend seamlessly with the vast sky!
