"Is it really in here?" Ye Qiu looked at the stone house in front of him, his expression unusually surprised.
In Ye Qiu’s impression, the teleportation array on the moon should be located in a more unique place, but he never expected it to be this unique.
It was actually inside a very crude stone house.
The stone house wasn’t large, about two square feet, definitely not a place for living. It was more like a cave, where one could only sit, and lying down would be difficult.
Ye Qiu entered, moved aside the round stone in the center, revealing the formation he was looking for.
No one knew who left the teleportation array here, only that it was unique enough.
"The dust here isn’t thick, only about six months’ worth; did soone co by during that ti?" Ye Qiu frowned slightly and wiped the dust from his hand.
Upon finding the formation, Ye Qiu did not rush to try it out. Instead, he walked around the stone house, only to find a row of shallow footprints at the entrance.
Looking in the direction of the footprints, it seed to be heading towards the direction of that ancient, dilapidated temple.
Suddenly, an old man’s figure flashed in Ye Qiu’s mind, whispering, "Could this be where that old guy trained?"
He rembered that old man on the moon, the one who wanted to snatch his death horn. At the ti, facing such a powerful person, Ye Qiu could only flee for his life.
From Ye Qiu’s current state, that old man should be at the Breaking Void level. Staying on the moon all year round left him with little strength, making him appear weaker. But at that ti, Ye Qiu was no match for him.
"If the teleportation array truly has sothing to do with him, it’s an amazing coincidence. But, why remain on the moon all this ti, just for the death horn?" Ye Qiu couldn’t understand a martial artist not pursuing their own power but instead wasting ti over a treasure.
Of course, Ye Qiu was rely speculating about the reason, unaware of the actual cause.
Regardless, with the teleportation array, he could enter his ancestors’ land, although he didn’t know where the formation would actually send him.
Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered by such concerns; he only wanted revenge.
After taking out the remaining star coins, Ye Qiu activated the formation. Instantly, a flash of light enveloped him, and the next second, Ye Qiu disappeared from the stone house.
When Ye Qiu opened his eyes again, he was greeted by vast mountains.
"Is this the ancestor’s land?" Ye Qiu muttered, and imdiately, his face changed.
The change wasn’t due to sudden danger; rather, it was because of the dense spiritual energy surrounding him.
"Even the spiritual energy of the ancient land can’t compare to this, at least three tis the difference!"
Ye Qiu was shocked, not knowing where he was sent by the teleportation array. But judging from the density of the spiritual energy here, it was surely a martial world.
No matter if it was the ancestor’s land or not, Ye Qiu thought it best to settle down, especially with the rich spiritual energy here. He could train well, adjust his body, and make more decisions later.
Thus, upon arriving here, Ye Qiu’s first act was not to admire the vast mountains but to find a hidden place to train.
This world’s spiritual energy was too abundant, simply a paradise for a martial artist. If Ye Qiu had such a training environnt back then, he would have already advanced to higher levels.
Arriving at a cliff, Ye Qiu blasted a cave into it, then squeezed inside, sealing the entrance with stones to avoid disturbances and conceal his presence.
Ye Qiu sat down and began absorbing nature’s spiritual energy. His injuries hadn’t healed, and Ye Qiu hadn’t tried to train hard to recover. Since waking, he was filled with self-bla, until later, driven by revenge, he searched for a way into the ancestry land. Now, possibly having arrived here, he couldn’t afford to be despondent. To slay a Saint, he needed the power to do so, and with his current strength, it was hard to achieve.
Dantian spun intensely as nature’s spiritual energy ford a cloud above Ye Qiu’s cave, then entered like smoke, ultimately absorbed by Ye Qiu.
Thus Ye Qiu sat in the cave, day after day, over and over again, until a month had passed.
In the mountains, a group of young children ran. They all appeared to be five or six years old, but rather than play, they hunted.
Each carried a bow on their backs, constantly pursuing the beast struck by arrows up ahead.
"Quick, don’t let it escape!" The older child among them commanded the others.
On hearing, the other kids quickly took down their bows, pulling with their small hands, the bowstrings forming a half-moon shape.
Buzz...
With each child’s arrow, three arrows shot out instantly, drawing an arc in the sky, thud, thud, thud...
The arrows fell, yet the beast suddenly changed direction, causing the arrows to miss and pierce the forest.
The three youngsters who missed were sowhat frustrated, their aim off. At this mont, the eldest child stopped running and removed the large bow from his shoulder, a bow taller than he was.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and the bow and arrow in the child’s hand disappeared. In the next mont, the head of the fast-running beast ahead exploded with a bang.
The beast died, and other children cheered.
After shooting the beast, a group of youngsters reached the mountaintop and began roasting it over a fire.
The sll of at quickly spread, each grabbing so at and munching away joyfully.
"Tiger Brother, your archery skills have improved again; without you, this golden leopard would have got away!" comnted a close-cropped hair boy.
"Tiger Brother is our village’s genius; he’s destined for the big sects. Shooting a golden leopard is nothing; soon, he’ll kill ancient beasts too," added another child.
"What you say is too far off. For now, I just want to train with my father and go for sect selection at twelve," said the boy called Tiger Brother, the oldest and most authoritative among them, with everyone listening to him.
"Tiger Brother will surely enter the big sects. The village chief ntioned, with Tiger Brother’s strength, he’ll make a na for himself and even beco a Core Disciple."
"Alright, alright, you’re praising too much. The future is uncertain. I don’t want to overthink it. Do you know why I brought you to roast at here specifically?" Tiger Brother glanced at everyone and said mysteriously.
"Why?" the other youngsters looked puzzled.
"Look there!" Tiger Brother suddenly pointed to a spot not far off.
"There... huh... nature’s spiritual energy seems to be gathering there."
While they discussed, the spiritual energy cloud suddenly vanished, as if it had drilled down the mountain.
"It disappeared!" a youngster exclaid.
"Tiger Brother, Tiger Brother, what’s going on?" others swiftly asked.
Tiger Brother laughed, "That’s why I brought you here. I think there’s a treasure absorbing nature’s spiritual energy. It’s probably about to erge!"
"Treasure?" On hearing this, the surrounding young ones’ eyes glead.
