Chapter 1360: 300 Billion Years
Chaotic Origin Prisoners were constantly being tortured and punished. Their sufferings would occasionally become heavier. Given enough time... they would be tortured to the extent that they had to go out for a 'patrol'! Otherwise, the pain and suffering would only increase .
Only when they left their territories for a patrol would cultivators have a chance to kill them.
In their territories, the Chaotic Origin Prisoners were too powerful. It was nile impossible to kill them. But once they went out for a patrol, the further they were from their territories, the weaker they would be.
"Quiet Icy Mountain Master is going out on patrol today?" Xue Ying's eyes brightened. He immediately continued, "Let us not delay then! Let us hurry and set off."
"Brother Flying Snow, how is your strength currently? How long can you maintain your peak state?" Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor asked, "Even though we do not need you to risk your life in the battle, by then even though you can easily deal with the large number of protectors, that Chaotic Origin Prisoner 'Quiet Icy Mountain Master' would most likely target you. I need to know how strong you are Brother Flying Snow, so that I can make sufficient preparations."
"I can maintain my peak state for close to an hour." Xue Ying said.
When Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor heard that, he let out a sigh of relief.
That was a very long period!
Because according to what he knew beforehand, Xue Ying could only maintain his peak state for a very short period. That way, their task of protecting 'Monarch Flying Snow' would become very heavy. But it did not seem like that would happen now. An hour was sufficient for them to do many things.
"Admirable. Truly admirable. It has just been a short 300 billion years and Brother Flying Snow has improved by such a large margin." Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor said.
"It's a pity that I have yet to become a Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform." Xue Ying replied.
"If you say this, you will only bring envy and jealousy to other Late Stage God Emperor Dao Cultivators." Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor laughed. Xue Ying knew that his cultivation speed was very fast. Firstly, it was due to his superior soul, boosting his speed of comprehension. Another aspect was after his soul reached his current realm, it nourished his fleshy body after that, paving way for a path that his fleshy body could proceed with.
Once he knew where he wanted to go, his speed of improvement would naturally be much faster.
...
On that day itself.
Within Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor's cavern-dwelling.
"Fellow cultivators." Beside Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor stood Wu Xiao and Xue Ying. Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor swept his gaze across all other cultivators in the hall.
Those who could stand here.
A minority of them were apex experts! And the remaining ones had the strength of a Grand Perfection God Emperor. They were also specialists in certain aspects!
"We have a total of 56 in our team with the best cultivators in certain aspects from Scarlet Cloud City gathered here." Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor said, "For everyone to keep your promise and come help me, Nine-Headed, I, Nine-Headed, will definitely remember this in my heart. As long as we succeed this time, what I promise to give everyone will definitely be fulfilled. Furthermore, if I were to succeed in my Ultimate Awakening, becoming a Chaotic Origin! I'll definitely not forget this favor given by everyone here."
"Big Brother Nine-Headed, you have helped us in the past. This time, we'll naturally do our best for you too."
"Brother Nine-Headed, we have so many experts. We even have Monarch Flying Snow and
City Master Wu Xiao with us. Those Chaotic Origin Lifeforms can't stop us at all. That Quiet Icy Mountain Master will definitely die."
At that moment, quite a few Grand Perfection God Emperors said.
And the apex experts were comparatively more aloof.
Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor had clearly only invited the extraordinary. He nodded with a smile: "That's right. With Brother Flying Snow and Wu Xiao around, I am more confident."
Xue Ying and Wu Xiao chuckled.
The two of them understood. Even though Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor might seem humble, in terms of combat techniques, he and Weather Leaf were the most terrifying ones! Even though Wu Xiao might be comparable to them in strength, he had fewer techniques. He relied more on his fleshy body to fight.
"Is everyone ready?" Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor swept his gaze. Seeing that nobody had opposed him, he continued: "Then let us set off now!"
The group of 56 cultivators immediately flew out of City Master Nine-Headed's cavern-dwelling.
Xue Ying also noticed that 'Monarch Ardent Creek' was in the team. He could not help but send a message over: "I would not have guessed that Monarch Ardent Creek has joined as well. In the name list that City Master Nine-Headed passed me at the start, I don't remember seeing Monarch Ardent Creek in it."
"Nine-Headed has invited me from the start, though I am not in a rush to join. It's just that after agreeing with Monarch Flying Snow on sharing the corpse, I would naturally have to do something about it." Monarch Ardent Creek transmitted. Even though he was strong, he could be considered an average apex cultivator and was not qualified to ask for the Chaotic Origin Prisoner corpse! Hence, he was too lazy to join previously.
But now, he chose to do so!
Because Xue Ying would eventually be the one getting the corpse of the Chaotic Origin Prisoner. Hence, Monarch Ardent Creek would have to do his best to help Xue Ying.
"Sou sou sou..."
They soon crossed the city walls and headed out for the vast wilderness.
...
"They have set off."
"Their task is to hunt down a Chaotic Origin Prisoner. It is even one of the hardest to deal with, the Quiet Icy Mountain Master."
Within Scarlet Cloud City, many experts stood within their cavern-dwelling watching as a team of cultivators flew in the distance.
This team contained two Vice-City Masters and Monarch Flying Snow! There were too many elites gathered in it. It was one of the few rare occasions where a huge operation began in Scarlet Cloud City.
"What do you guys think? Do you think they will succeed?"
"If Monarch Flying Snow was not around, there would only be 10% to 20% chance of success. But with the help of Monarch Flying Snow, I believe they have a 50% chance of succeeding."
"Mn, it has been a long time since any of us hunted down a Chaotic Origin Prisoner successfully."
Many cultivators were discussing this matter.
And at this juncture.
Weather Leaf was seated within the garden of his cavern-dwelling watching as that team of cultivators left Scarlet Cloud City.
'Nine-Headed has gone to hunt that Chaotic Origin Prisoner.' Weather Leaf lightly shook his head, 'It's a pity that a rare friend has chosen to go down this path of Ultimate Awakening.'
He understood the plight of his good friend.
Forcing to the next stage?
That path was too difficult! It was almost impossible.
And to grasp an Origin World? Nobody was willing to help Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor reincarnate in an Origin World!
Even if this easiest path of Ultimate Awakening had stumped many Grand Perfection God Emperors before it.
'I pray for his success.' Weather Leaf thought, 'At least his fortune is quite good since he got the help of Monarch Flying Snow. That would at least give him hope of killing the Quiet Icy Mountain Master.'
Outside the city.
"Weng."
Many machineries that could not be seen by the naked eyes began flying out from the surface of Wu Xiao's body. The machines were even smaller than the particles of ordinary cultivators! There were so many of those machines that they could not be counted. They began flying off in different directions. These machines might be small, yet they were incredibly tough. Even if a Grand Perfection God Emperor sought to destroy it, he would have to spend lots of effort doing so.
These minute machineries were classified under many categories. They had different scouting methods too. With the machineries mutually verifying what they saw using different methods, it was almost impossible for anything to escape their notice.
Wu Xiao was unquestionably the best scout in Scarlet Cloud City when comparing how wide his scouting range was.
"Chi chi chi." There was also another cultivator who had an enormous lone eye filled with different profound mysteries. He was able to easily observe what was happening over a huge region around him.
...
Inclusive of Wu Xiao, there were three experts responsible for scouting. They were all employing different techniques.
Many domains descended too.
The entire team of cultivators disappeared from plain sight as they advanced within the wilderness.
"This is the current location of Quiet Icy Mountain Master as well as the approximate distribution of other Chaotic Origin Lifeforms around according to what we know." Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor began sending intelligence to each member of the team through his communication treasure, "We will be moving according to this first path."
"Mn."
"We should be able to reach in two days."
Xue Ying and the other cultivators agreed with the arrangement of Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor. His preparations were ample.
