Capítulo 629: Chapter 628: Immeasurable Old Ancestor

Within the top of the clouds, where it's hard for the naked eye to see, a black figure flew across the Hundred Spirit Continent at lightning speed.

When it spread its wings, it appeared to have pierced through space. Therefore, it made it simply impossible to get a clear image of its entire body. One would only see a black figure shooting through space, appearing thousands of meters away in a blink of an eye.

Such a speed caused all of the ordinary Sovereigns to look on with dumbstruck shock, as it was one that would completely leave them in the dust, with no hope of ever catching up.

However, that black figure suddenly stopped moving forward and transformed into an old man dressed in a blue robe.

The old man's blue robe was covered with black water patterns that shimmered with a faint light. He seemed contemplative as he stared at the dark land below.

"There's an astonishing surge of Spiritual Energy below. Could it be that some kind of supreme treasure has emerged...? No, I need to go take a look. Kekeke, I didn't expect to encounter such a find so soon after leaving the Immeasurable Continent."

The old man hemmed and hawed, then shuttled towards the mountain range below.

...

"The commotion from the mountains has subsided!"

Inside the camp, as the campfire was being rekindled, everyone felt a bit shaken. The disturbance had been tremendous. Everyone felt that any small mishap could have led to disaster. Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm.

However, the experience caused many to reconsider their expedition.

"Maybe we should cancel this training? There's something strange about it, and we don't know anything. It might be hard to come back once we enter the mountains."

"I also feel that we're not fully prepared for this. Maybe we could wait a few days, let the other teams scout the area first, and get better equipped. It won't be too late to enter the Northern Spiritual Plains then."

"I agree!"

Of course, while some agreed, there were also some who disagreed.

"No, this training is very important to me. If I can't capture a beast soul, I'm afraid I won't last a single round in the next clan competition!"

"That's right, we've been preparing for so long, how can we give up so easily? If anything, we can just scout the outskirts for the next few days before venturing deeper into the Northern Spiritual Plains."

"Perhaps this disturbance is caused by the emergence of a divine object. If we find it, it might even catapult us directly into the Sovereign Stage!"

"..."

Inside the camp, the young men and women continued their incessant debate.

The young man surnamed Mu approached the serene girl again and asked with some concern.

"Miss Jing, you didn't get hurt during the Spiritual Energy disturbance, did you?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Brother Mu," Miss Jing replied calmly.

"Hehe, that's good to hear. But as I mentioned before, you can just call me Mu Feng." Noticing the other party's lack of interest in the conversation, the young man scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.

Then he continued without waiting for Miss Jing to respond.

"By the way, what do you think about the Spiritual Energy disturbance in the Northern Spiritual Plains? Are you still planning to go there?"

Miss Jing pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then replied.

"Those spiritual beasts will be more aggressive after the Spiritual Energy disturbance. I'd rather not go in."

"Ah, I see. That's probably for the best. Safety is paramount," Mu Feng nodded in understanding. It seemed like he wanted to say more, but then a hoary laughter echoed from above the heads of everyone.

"Kekeke, can any of you tell this old man what happened here earlier? There will be a generous reward for anyone who does."

"Uh..."

Everyone in the camp looked up in bewilderment, only to see an old man dressed in blue standing in the air, smiling at them.

When they awoke from their stupor, their faces were filled with horror.

To be able to walk on air, at least a powerhouse in the Three Heavens Stage!

In the Great Thousand World, the cultivation realm was divided into seven stages.

The seven stages, from the lowest to the highest, were as follows: Sensing Spiritual, Spiritual Movement, Spiritual Rotation, Spirit, Three Heavens Stage, Three Sovereign Disasters, Sovereign, and Ranker.

The Three Heavens Stage included the Heavenly Fusion Stage, the Heavenly Transform Stage, and the Heavenly Completion Stage.

The Three Sovereign Disasters were the Human Body Disaster, the Spiritual Energy Disaster, and the Spirit Disaster.

The Sovereign Stage was divided into one to nine grades, followed by the Earth Sovereign and the Heavenly Sovereign.

The Ranker Stage had yet to see anyone successfully ascend to it, and it had not even been made known to the world. Only the Immortal Emperor from ancient times, who had sacrificed himself to seal the Heavenly Evil Monarch, had managed to half-step into the Ranker Stage.

Of course, these stages were far too distant for the young people in the camp. The strongest in their clan was at the Spirit Stage, far from comparable, while the person before them, who walked on air without any external aid, was at least a Heavenly Fusion Stage powerhouse!

'No, it is not just the Heavenly Fusion Stage, but the Sovereign Stage!'

Miss Jing's face changed as she looked at the old man above. Although her strength had fallen to a point far below even the Three Heavens Stage, her keen eyesight remained. The old fellow before her was clearly a high-grade Sovereign and not just a mere first-grade Sovereign!

This person was definitely attracted by the previous surge of Spiritual Energy.

Actually, this was quite normal. The previous commotion was not insignificant; perhaps it even attracted other strong individuals.

This was also why she didn't want to enter the Northern Spiritual Plains anymore, to avoid encountering these strong individuals.

However, it seemed her luck wasn't very good, as the camp she was in had been noticed so quickly.

'I hope this guy will leave after getting his answer,' Miss Jing thought.

However, things usually didn't turn out the way one wished them to.

The blue-robed old man naturally couldn't get any useful information from this group, none of whom had even reached the Spiritual Rotation Stage.

The old man frowned and turned to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young lady in a white dress. The young lady's demeanor was calm and mysterious, exuding a unique charm that immediately caught his attention. A lecherous gleam emerged in his eyes.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to find such fine goods in this remote place. Little girl, from now on, you shall follow this old ancestor!"

"Senior, aren't you being a bit too coercive?" Miss Jing hadn't spoken yet, but Mu Feng's expression changed drastically as he spoke in a somewhat anxious manner.

However, the old man completely ignored him, his gaze fixed intently on the young lady standing in front of him.

In response, Miss Jing remained indifferent as she coldly said, "Not interested!"

Mu Feng sighed in relief upon hearing her words. He had really feared that Miss Jing would agree to this, as there was no shortage of people who would sell themselves to follow a strong individual. Fortunately, Miss Jing was not such a person.

He cupped his fists towards the old man, "Senior, as you can see, Miss Jing is not willing to..."

"Quiet! You have no right to speak here!" A sharp rebuke came as the space in front of Mu Feng suddenly tore apart. From the torn space, black tidal waves poured out, covering the sky and crushing the space as they swept towards Mu Feng!

Faced with such an attack, Mu Feng couldn't even react in time. Fortunately, there was someone else by his side.

"Heaven Protective Spirit Formation, activate!"

A delicate shout rang out. Suddenly, the space around Mu Feng became pitch black. Countless interweaving rainbows of light formed a starry sky, which from a distance looked like a dazzling, colorful curtain of stars.

The black-colored tidal waves collided violently with the curtain. Then, both of them exploded. The resulting shockwaves caused Mu Feng to spit out blood. His entire body flew out in a horizontal direction and crashed heavily on the ground, sending clouds of dust into the air!

Grug!

Miss Jing, who bore the brunt of the attack, obviously did not fare well either. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and her soft and pretty face turned deathly pale.

"Keke, I didn't expect you to have some strength, and you're even a Spiritual Array Master..."

The blue-robed old man was also somewhat surprised. Although he hadn't been serious before, his attack was more than enough to kill someone at the Spirit Stage. It was surprising that this woman, despite her youthful appearance, was able to withstand it. Quite remarkable indeed.

However, it didn't matter. It was clear that the young lady in front of him didn't have the ability to resist again.

He was now looking forward to capturing her and having his way with her, for he, the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, enjoyed women with a rebellious spirit the most!
