Chapter 166 Finally Heading to the Northern Regions (4k)

"Holy Son, thank you for letting us know in advance that turmoil is coming. This is a great service to all living beings."

"If it weren't for this time, Uncle Jian wouldn't have been able to trigger the 'Previous Word Secret' and get any news about Father. I'm extremely grateful."

As she spoke, Ji Zi cupped her hands in a respectful gesture to Sha Xiao, and was about to bow slightly.

"No, that won't do. The Void Emperor has done humanity a great favor; such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

Sha Xiao quickly reached out to support Ji Zi, stopping him from bowing down.

"Also, calling me Holy Son is too formal. Fellow Daoist Himeko, just call me by my name."

With that, Sha Xiao waved his sleeve, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Sha Xiao, a rogue cultivator, shamelessly calls himself the Great Love Immortal Venerable. I greet you, Princess Ji."

Ji Zi's expression was solemn as he clasped his hands in return, saying, "Great Love Immortal Venerable, Fellow Daoist Sha Xiao truly has a fine ambition! In that case, Ji Zi of the Ji family greets Fellow Daoist Great Love."

Sha Xiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Which 'zi' is it?"

Himeko smiled awkwardly and explained, "Throughout history, people have called me 'son,' which is what my father expected of me."

Sha Xiao suddenly realized what was going on.

In the original work, Himeko is only referred to as Himeko from beginning to end, just as the Holy Prince is only known as the Holy Prince, which has always puzzled Sha Xiao.

They are all sons of emperors, yet they don't even have their own names?

So it wasn't that the red-haired old monster was lazy and didn't say it; it's just that this is your real name.

"Hmm, a good name."

Sha Xiao and Ji Zi exchanged a glance, one with a mischievous grin and the other with a helpless smile.

This time, they officially announced their names and could be addressed as fellow Daoists.

"What's so good about it? It's just a perfunctory response."

Jian Chen muttered a complaint to the Void Mirror in a low voice.

The Void Mirror could only remain silent, opening the spatial passage without uttering a word.

Standing before the spatial passage, Ji Zi helped Jian Chen to say goodbye, "Time is of the essence, and I also need to seize the time to cultivate, so I won't stay any longer."

"Whenever it is necessary to deal with that massive upheaval, just tell me, and I will do my utmost!"

Although his tone was calm, it conveyed a sense of conviction.

"Alright, I won't hesitate to ask if you have any requests. By the way, Senior Jian Chen, there's something I need to trouble you with."

Sha Xiao looked at Jian Chen and said.

"Oh?"

Jian Chen looked at Sha Xiao with a puzzled expression.

Sha Xiao took out many Six Scripture Gu and handed them to Jian Chen: "Senior, you actually fought alongside the Void Emperor. I hope you can replicate a corner of the Dark Turmoil. I need these to make more people aware of the danger of the Dark Turmoil."

Jian Chen accepted the Six Classics Gu without question and, following Sha Xiao's instructions, infused some of the memories of his battle with the Great Emperor into his mind.

Instantly, Jian Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately looked at Sha Xiao and asked eagerly, "Can you tell me how to make this? This thing is extremely useful!"

So many dark upheavals have broken out, how could no one have thought to record everything about them and leave it for future generations to be wary of?

The problem is, there isn't much in this world that can accommodate the actions of those supreme beings in forbidden zones.

Although those supreme beings in the forbidden zones do inhuman things, their strength is genuinely formidable.

With a wave of his hand, he could shatter a giant star; with a step, he could traverse a galaxy. Every breath he took was filled with supreme Daoist essence, something that could not be easily replicated.

The materials that can be perfectly replicated are almost all divine materials from heaven and earth, such as the Nine Heavens Divine Jade, Chaos Stone, and the Nine Great Immortal Gold.

People who see these things will take them and recast them into Dao artifacts; who would leave you any records of where they are?

The end result is that these precious materials, the materials that can warn future generations, can only be superficially described by some unreliable ancient books.

A mere phrase on paper, "fighting for the sake of heaven and earth and all living beings," is not enough to make these people understand.

This directly resulted in even an extreme power like the Ancient Ji family being unable to understand for generations what their ancestral emperor was fighting for.

Throughout the universe, there are also many quasi-emperors who have often heard of the power of the Great Emperor.

However, until the very end, he still didn't know the true strength of the Great Emperor. He rashly underwent the tribulation and was eaten by a small dragon.

However, Sha Xiao directly solved this biggest pain point.

Although the Six Classics Gu is not strong, it is only a fourth-level Gu.

But they are inherently superior!

Every Gu worm is a fragment of the Great Dao. If the method is right, they can record the Dao essence of the Great Emperors and the sorrow between heaven and earth.

The most ingenious thing is that the Six Classics Gu worm itself is not very valuable.

That would be even better!

It is precisely because these things are not precious that they can be spread more widely, allowing more people to know what they are about to face.

As for wild geniuses like the Ruthless Great Emperor, just by seeing the actions of those great emperors, they might be able to embark on the path of cultivation.

From any perspective, this is a truly meritorious act.

"Of course, no problem."

Seeing that Jian Chen was willing to take the bait, Sha Xiao chuckled to herself and generously revealed the refining method.

"That's interesting. I'll give it a try when I get back."

Jian Chen nodded, returned the Six Classics Gu to Sha Xiao, and hurriedly pulled Ji Zi into the temporary domain gate.

"Lang Li Ge Lang Sha Xiao hummed a song, holding Qingmaoshan in his left hand and tossing the Six Classics Gu, which had been injected with memories, in his right hand. He was in an extremely good mood."

This time it was actually very dangerous, given the nature of those ancient royal families.

If he doesn't handle it well, it could turn into a war outside the region.

That was not what he wanted to see at all; it was such a waste.

Faced with darkness and turmoil, these people are all top-notch combatants; how can we let them die in vain?

Fortunately, those ancient emperors, in order to save face, did not leave any information within their clans about their entry into the forbidden zone.

This gave him the leverage to deceive, and through a series of attacks and cuts, he successfully tied several imperial weapons and at least the son of a quasi-emperor to his cause with a few worthless pieces of information.

They also established treaties for the exchange of resources and scriptures. Not to mention anything else, scriptures such as the "Qilin Scripture" and the "Ten Thousand Dragons Scripture" flourished.

His series of moves this time were absolutely phenomenal; he won so many times he was practically ecstatic.

Seeing the ancient royal families leave one after another, Pang Bo slumped into his chair and said, "Damn it, that scared me to death. I thought we were going to fight again. They've already turned the tables."

Sha Xiao went back inside, stood behind Pang Bo, and patted his shoulder: "Hahaha, it won't happen again. It won't happen again from the moment I wiped out the Yao Guang Holy Land."

"You've worked hard this time. Without Qingmao Mountain, those imperial weapons wouldn't be so easy to deal with."

"Traveling back and forth between the Southern and Northern Regions in such a short time, and bringing back Qingmao Mountain, you must be exhausted!"

Pang Bo squinted and waved his paws. "Hey, don't even mention it. The Qingmao Mountain Secret Realm is much heavier than I thought. It's not even that big, so why is it so heavy?"

Sha Xiao, holding the newly formed Qingmao Mountain, laughed and said, "Qingmao Mountain is covered with Dao traces, which are intertwined with the void passage, so it's natural that you feel it's heavy."

"It's because it hasn't grown much yet, so you can move it."

"In another hundred years or so, the Dao traces on it will be completely connected with the Big Dipper, so that even if a Great Emperor wanted to move it, he wouldn't be able to."

That's so easy.

Pang Bo opened his eyes, looked up at the six blood-red chains on Qingmao Mountain, and asked worriedly, "Is that so-called Dark Turmoil the reason you've been so anxious? By the way, you signed this so-called alliance, won't there be any...?"

'

Sha Xiao shook her head and smiled: "Don't worry, I was prepared."

As he spoke, his aura shifted, and the blood squeezed from his fingers turned into crystal-clear red blood.

"I can have multiple bloodlines at the same time. When I signed the contract, I was bound to the Great Dao of the Azure Emperor. At worst, I can just sever the legacy of the Azure Emperor."

Sha Xiao shook her hand to reassure Pang Bo.

"Goodness, you really are something else."

Pang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

"By the way, what about that Dark Turmoil? With your current strength, can't you even avoid it?"

After resting for a while, Pang Bo looked at Sha Xiao and asked, somewhat puzzled.

He has only been in Beidou for a few years and doesn't really feel a sense of belonging to the people here.

He had absolutely no interest in any dark turmoil or upheaval.

His only goal now is to return to his hometown with his classmates from Earth.

"There's no escaping it. Those ancient emperors could overturn every grain of sand in a galaxy with a single thought."

"They need the life essence of all living beings to sustain their own lives, and they will never let anyone go."

"Even if we manage to escape this one two hundred years from now, if those ancient emperors who failed to become immortals manage to survive, countless dark upheavals will await us."

Sha Xiao sighed, concealing the special nature of the prehistoric world, and handed the Six Classic Gu to Pang Bo.

Of course, he wasn't lying.

They were able to escape these two recent dark upheavals by using the ancient primordial star.

However, as long as they still want to cultivate, the chance of facing the Dark Sovereign in their long lives is 100%.

Since that's the case, it would be better to take advantage of this golden age to gather our forces and crush the enemy.

Moreover, Sha Xiao knew very well that none of his brothers could stand by and watch as living beings were slaughtered.

The option of hiding on a primordial ancient star never existed in the first place.

Pang Bo accepted the Six Classic Gu with some skepticism and immersed his divine sense into it.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily.

Pang Bo's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with fear and rage as he glared at Sha Xiao and growled, "Is that the Ancient Emperor? How could they do this! What do those scum think all living beings are?"

Sha Xiao quietly watched Pang Bo, who was both terrified and furious.

He was also angry, but not because of the Supreme Beings' slaughter of all living beings, but because they threatened him.

"Is there really only two hundred years left? Does Ye Zi know?"

"So many ancient emperors, can you really handle them all?"

"How can I help you?"

Pang Bo took a deep breath, turned to look at Sha Xiao, and asked her urgently.

"Pang Bo, calm down. The path to immortality is only two hundred years away."

"Before the Path to Immortality is established, even if we defecate and piss on their heads, those supreme beings will never come out. We still have time."

Sha Xiao shook her head, telling Pang Bo to calm down.

Looking at Sha Xiao, who was completely at ease and calm, Pang Bo closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed himself down.

"I was too hasty."

When he opened his eyes, the panic had vanished from Pang Bo's gaze.

He looked at Sha Xiao calmly and asked, "Just tell me directly, what are we going to do next?"

Sha Xiao smiled and looked at Pang Bo with admiration.

That's why he spared no effort in helping Ye Fan and his classmates.

As characters who have already realized their potential in the original work, they are all excellent helpers and promising talents.

"You don't need to do anything, just focus on your cultivation."

Sha Xiao looked at Pang Bo seriously and said, "You have already embarked on a path that I have not taken. As long as you continue on this path and reach the end, that will be the greatest help to me."

Pang Bo recalled everything that had happened and murmured, "You mean, the Dietary Supplement Immortal Gu?"

Sha Xiao nodded: "Yes."

"The art of Gu is too vast and profound; even I cannot master it completely."

"For example, in this case, you deduced the Kunpeng from the esophagus, which is something I couldn't have imagined or done."

"Once you cultivate to the level of Quasi-Emperor, you will be able to play a role during the Dark Turmoil."

Sha Xiao said confidently.

"A quasi-emperor?"

Pang Bo lowered his head and murmured softly.

He looked up at Sha Xiao, his eyes resolute, and said, "Okay! I will definitely catch up."

Sha Xiao patted Pang Bo on the shoulder with a smile: "Alright, don't be nervous. Two hundred years, who knows what will happen? Maybe one of us will become an emperor by then."

Since he brought the art of Gu, the course of this world has been completely different.

Even he himself couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be wild geniuses who attained enlightenment ahead of time.

After all, the Soul Emperor, who had been planning for a thousand years and was already a sure-fire Dou Di, still ran into Xiao Yan, the chosen one who had been a Dou Di for twenty years.

Sha Xiao felt that anything was possible.

"By the way, how's things going in the Northern Region?"

Seeing that Pang Bo had calmed down, Sha Xiao asked him a question.

"We established a small religion at the foot of Zishan Mountain, and Weiwei and Headmaster Li have managed the place very well."

"Through the Gu worms, we've won over a large number of source bandits. We'll know what's in the mining area immediately."

Pang Bo explained to Sha Xiao in detail the empire they had built in the Northern Region.

Are you heading to the Northern Regions?

"My tongue is dry from talking so much," Pang Bo asked Sha Xiao.

"Yes, it's better to leave Qingmao Mountain there. That place has abundant mineral resources and many different Dao traces."

"Besides, didn't you say that Zhou Yi got trapped in Zishan while trying to figure out my location? I'll go there this time and bring him back."

Sha Xiao tossed Qingmaoshan aside, a serious glint in his eyes.

"Are you sure it's okay? That mountain is really haunted. Should you invite those other families to go together?"

Pang Bo remained worried.

Sha Xiao waved his right hand, and the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon flew into his hand. He shook the weapon and said, "Don't worry, I have an Emperor Weapon. Going to save people is just a matter of course."

"Too."

Upon seeing the imperial weapon, Pang Bo felt relieved.

Just now, within the Six Classic Gu, he had glimpsed a corner of the Emperor Weapon after it was fully activated, and that power reassured him.

"By the way, you can show this to them too."

Sha Xiao activated the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon, tearing open a void passage before gracefully departing.

"Pang Bo, what's wrong? What happened?"

No sooner had Sha Xiao left than Ye Fan, carrying a little girl and looking travel-worn, teleported into the City Lord's Mansion.
