AST 2365 - Priest Purewood, Entering the Divine Place 

Qing Shui was very confident and had no worries . Though Nalan Qing had already told him to let it go, he had other reasons . If the city lord was truly powerful then this would be a debt only payable by blood .

The people around were also shocked, seeing this new youngster in Chaos City easily suppressing the Five Chaos Dragons . He even killed one of them and forced the rest to beg for mercy .

“It’s just an act of desperation . Losing face from bowing down could be paid back . If they didn’t, they wouldn’t even survive,” Someone who seemed to understand the few of them well said .  

“But didn’t that young man just say that he would kill them the next time he sees them?” Someone else replied .

“Haha, they would never take others’ words seriously . They’re only bowing because they have no choice . If they could, they would cut him into a million pieces right now . What do you say to a bet on that?” The same man who spoke up just now laughed .  

“It’s fine, I won’t bet against you . Let's just wait and see . ”

Qing Shu’s spiritual sense was extremely acute and he could listen to all the murmurings . He wasn’t surprised nor worried . These foppish dandies with their eyes on top of their heads wouldn’t have taken him seriously either way .

“Qing Shui, don’t be reckless . The fact that Chaos City continues to exist suggests that it is unique in the Middle Three Regions . We must tread carefully . ” Nalan Qing looked worried .  

“Don’t worry . At least we have some survival skills so just relax . ” Qing Shui comforted Nalan Qing .  

Nalan Qing thought about all kinds of skills that Qing Shui had and felt comforted . Maybe she was just overthinking this . Qing Shui would be a peak existence here, or maybe even suppress people of that level .

“Qing Shui, look over there, Those are people from the Fire Nation,” Nalan Qing said as she pointed to a certain direction .  

Qing Shui scanned through them . There were only twenty to thirty people, not a big number . There were old, middle-aged, and young men, all decently powerful but none at the level of the Water Emperor .

Qing Shui seemed to be on the same level as the Water Emperor but with his unique techniques, he could easily defeat, if not instantly kill characters of that level .

Qing Shui started looking around the people from the Fire Nation and noticed that a group of people was also looking at the people around him . He immediately confirmed that those people were from the Demon Gate .  

Battle Gods and Demon Gate experts had unique auras that made them easily distinguishable, assuming their strengths were similar .

Qing Shui could basically confirm that this ruin exploration in Chaos City would be anything but quiet and peaceful .

“Alright, everyone can go in now . I hope that everyone can set aside their differences . It is going to be very dangerous inside and we need everyone to cooperate to get out safely . We should find treasures first . There will be plenty of time to settle the differences after we leave,” a masculine voice rang throughout the area .  

“That is Priest Purewood!” Someone exclaimed .  

“Who is that?” Someone else asked immediately .

“Are you even from Chaos City? How can you not know who it is?” The man looked at the inquiring person shockingly .  

“Priest Purewood is an extremely mysterious and powerful entity . Even the city lord still has to give him some face . No one knows where he came from but he has set up a temple here . He is known for his medical skills and helped many people who needed help without accepting any money from them . He is very popular in the area and has a great reputation,” another person spoke up and explained .  

“It’s surprising to see that even Priest Purewood is here . ”

“It is said that Priest Purewood also needs something from the divine area so he will be going in this time too . Apparently, everyone has to follow his orders . ”

“Priest Purewood does have that prestige . ”

    ……

… . . .

Qing Shui would naturally keep a look out for this middle-aged looking priest . His sideburns already turned white but his eyes remained clear and lucid . He looked very average, with a heroic aura giving him a sense of trustworthiness .

Priest Purewood led the group to the Sky Penetrating ridge and the people behind started following him . They wanted to come to the divine area to try their luck and maybe strike gold .

Finding a mystical ruin was tantamount to opening it and the treasures would belong to those with strength . The divine area would eventually crumble, becoming a regular location, only serving as a lesson from the past .

Qing Shui and company also followed suit, facing a world boundary soon after .

The name of the divine area was very profound . The name would be associated with finding traces of divinity or places where divine existences had once lived . There would be many items to collect .

However, there were also places that seemed like divine areas but actually held nothing .

It was not the first time Qing Shui had passed through a similar boundary so he didn’t feel any particular magic in the air .

It was just like passing through a water curtain . There weren’t any special feelings .  

The atmosphere was filled with spiritual qi, giving it a thick viscosity, bluer than the sky . Apart from the atmosphere being different, everything else was pretty much the same .  

“There are demonic and poison beasts around . We may run into a beast tide if we’re unlucky,” Priest Purewood said .  

Quite a number of people felt their legs folding under them after hearing the phrase ‘Beast tide’ . The beast tide was able to block out the sun, making flying useless . It was impossible to escape under such conditions . Powerful beasts would follow the back of the tide, making it an endless flow that could drown anyone out .

“Priest Purewood has been here before . Let’s just follow him and do as he says to prevent any unnecessary detours,” someone said immediately .  

“We must naturally listen to Priest Purewood . Whoever does not want to can make a move first . ” 

No one showed any indication of doing such thing, given that there was safety in numbers, especially in a foreign place . This was like the difference between encountering a bear alone and with a group . With a group, there was a good chance to survive .

The group of people followed behind Priest Purewood as they entered the divine area . It was like a flat plain with a clear lack of forests . There were, however, a few massive trees spread out throughout the region while the plains themselves were populated by grass that rose up to knee-level . There weren’t any massive mountains, only a few crevices and peaks laying around .

“There is a mountain valley in front that we have to pass through, roughly a hundred meters deep . There are two very powerful Ancient Blue Topaz Leopards in it . I don’t know if there are any treasures, but since they’re pure-blooded ancient desolate beasts, there should be something down there . However, be aware that those two are still exceedingly strong . ”
