King of Ten Thousand Years

Yi Jingwen watched blankly as the golden-robed youth, following Luo Tian's command, sent a message to the strongest member of his team.

It was too terrifying. He was completely obedient.

'I must never offend Luo Tian!'

Yi Jingwen thought to herself. 'If Luo Tian were even a little malicious, I would become his plaything.'

"Did the Sea Demon Palace order you to deal with the Dongchen Continent?"

Luo Tian began interrogating the golden-robed youth.

"The Sea Demon Palace only ordered us to search this region for a hidden human small world and conquer it. What is the Dongchen Continent? I don't know."

The golden-robed youth answered mechanically.

It was obvious that the world the Sea Demon Palace had sent them to find was the Dongchen Continent.

Next, Luo Tian asked about the Cyan Armor Race.

The Cyan Armor Race was a subordinate power of the Sea Demon Palace. The clan had nearly ten Celestial Level Martial Artists and almost a hundred Earth Level Martial Artists. In the vast Broken-star Realm, a force like this could only be considered average.

The Sea Demon Palace was the true Overlord Level power at the apex.

'The Dongchen Continent can't even stand against the Cyan Armor Race. Just how strong is the Sea Demon Palace?'

Yi Jingwen's heart trembled with fear.

Her homeland had actually been targeted by such a terrifying power.

"Your identity seems rather unusual."

Luo Tian continued his questioning.

"I am the fifth son of the Cyan Armor Race's Clan Leader!"

the golden-robed youth replied.

"What a pity. Your life could have been a tool to use against the Cyan Armor Race..."

Luo Tian sighed, snapped the golden-robed youth's neck, and took his Storage Pouch.

"Let's go, quickly!"

Luo Tian said to Yi Jingwen.

Although he had used the golden-robed youth to send a message and create some interference for the Cyan Armor Race's team, it definitely wouldn't fool them completely.

To be safe, they still had to get away from here as fast as possible.

The golden-robed youth had to die. There was no telling if the enemy had special methods for tracking his location.

Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen flew for some time. The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, giving them the illusion that they hadn't moved at all.

"In this vast Outer Void, without a Flying Artifact, we won't last long. Our True Essence will be depleted, and by then..."

Yi Jingwen's mood was somewhat pessimistic.

In her view, the Cyan Armor Race would probably find them before that even happened.

Just then, Luo Tian suddenly stopped and began making calculations with his fingers.

Yi Jingwen didn't have much faith in Luo Tian's divination skills.

"This way!"

Luo Tian finished his calculations, led Yi Jingwen in a slightly different direction, and sped forward.

「After flying for a while.」

Suddenly, a massive blue Void Ship appeared in the distance!

"A Void Ship!"

Yi Jingwen was shocked, and a glimmer of hope sparked in her heart.

The two appeared in the path of the blue Void Ship, attracting its attention.

The Void Ship slowed down slightly.

A dozen or so figures appeared at the bow, their faces wary.

When they saw it was only two humans ahead, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just two humans. Ignore them, speed up!"

a man in a Black Robe said with a look of indifference.

"Wait! Can you give us a ride?"

Luo Tian called out.

The Void Ship didn't slow down. The dozen figures on the bow were either cold or snickering; no one paid any attention to Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen.

"Get lost! Don't block the way!"

the man in the Black Robe barked, releasing a cold and powerful aura.

Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen's expressions changed slightly, and the True Essence within their bodies trembled.

The other party's cultivation was impressive—a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm—and his attitude was so cold. It seemed there was no hope.

"Senior Sister Yi, it's up to you!"

Luo Tian said to Yi Jingwen.

"What do you mean?"

Yi Jingwen didn't understand, but she still stepped forward and shouted, "We were attacked by bandits, and our Void Ship was destroyed! Can you help us? We can pay with Spiritual Essence Coins."

On the Void Ship, a wave of laughter came from the dozen figures, as if they had just heard a joke and paid it no mind.

"What are you laughing at?"

A young man walked out from inside the Void Ship and snapped coldly.

The next moment, he saw the two humans outside the ship. His gaze was drawn to Yi Jingwen, and a smile appeared on his face. "Have you two run into some trouble?"

Yi Jingwen's smile froze. Years of experience told her this was another lecher, only slightly better than the golden-robed youth from before.

'Although traveling with a beautiful woman can sometimes attract trouble, it also has its benefits,' Luo Tian thought with a smile.

"Young Master, we shouldn't just let strangers aboard,"

an old man advised.

Many bandits pretended to be in distress to trick people into helping them. Once aboard, they would contact their accomplices for a pincer attack from both inside and out.

"Hmph, I am a generous and charitable person. What's wrong with helping someone in distress?"

the young man snorted.

After that, Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen successfully boarded the ship.

The main crew on the ship were from the Purple Scale Race, characterized by purple hair and purple, wood-grain-like patterns on their skin.

Besides them, there were a few members of other races.

"I am Zi Shan. May I ask for the young lady's name? And where have you come from?"

The young man, Zi Shan, who had invited Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen aboard, asked with a smile.

Zi Shan enthusiastically asked Yi Jingwen many questions. Although she was somewhat repulsed, Zi Shan had helped them, so she responded politely.

Afterward, Zi Shan arranged for quarters for Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen.

「Inside the room.」

Luo Tian took out the golden-robed youth's Storage Space and examined his spoils.

After turning it upside down, Luo Tian shook his head slightly. 'No map!'

In an unknown place, completely ignorant of the geography, he felt like a headless fly buzzing around aimlessly.

'This ship's destination is a small world called the Earth and Water Realm. Once we get there, I should be able to buy a map.'

Luo Tian was not discouraged.

He had long heard from Qi Yuntian about the chaos and danger of the Outer World Space.

It was a chaotic place where numerous races coexisted, leading to many conflicts. Arson, murder, looting, and brawling were commonplace, and wars often broke out.

With a map, Luo Tian could set a goal. Heading to the territory of the Human Race first would naturally be safer and more secure.

"This spear is not bad!"

Luo Tian toyed with the golden-robed youth's weapon. It was a Top Grade Treasure Artifact, and this item alone was worth a considerable amount of Spiritual Essence Coins.

In addition, the golden-robed youth's Storage Space contained many other treasures, including several Middle Grade and Upper Grade Treasure Artifacts, some Cultivation Resources, and Elixirs of Life.

'Why are there so few Spiritual Essence Coins? Only six thousand?'

'Isn't the golden-robed youth the fifth son of the Cyan Armor Race's Clan Leader? Why is he so poor?'

Next to the Spiritual Essence Coins, Luo Tian discovered five diamond-shaped white jades. Their surfaces were crystalline and smooth, and they contained an extremely pure and vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

'Could this be some kind of cultivation treasure?'

After consulting the Celestial Book, Luo Tian got his answer: Low Grade Spirit Crystals, a higher-tier currency. One Low Grade Spirit Crystal was worth approximately ten thousand Spiritual Essence Coins!

'Five Spirit Crystals, fifty thousand Spiritual Essence Coins. As expected of the fifth son of the Cyan Armor Race's Clan Leader. He's rich!'

Luo Tian broke into a smile.

After organizing his spoils, Luo Tian left the room, preparing to wander around and gather information.

"Hey, there seem to be very few members of the Human Race on this ship."

Luo Tian ran into the man in the Black Robe.

The man in the Black Robe had refused to help them earlier, but since they were both from the Human Race, Luo Tian decided to strike up a conversation with him anyway.

"That's right."

The man in the Black Robe spoke curtly.

However, he still answered Luo Tian's questions one by one.

This ship traveled between several small worlds, mainly transporting cargo, but it also carried some Martial Artists traveling the Outer World.

The man in the Black Robe was an Honored Guest of the Purple Scale Race.

Next, Luo Tian learned that the Earth and Water Realm was a small world on the edge of the Broken-star Realm, slightly larger than the Dongchen Continent.

Luo Tian had already decided that after arriving at the Earth and Water Realm, he would settle down temporarily, buy a map and a Void Ship, and then immediately set sail for the territory of the Human Race.

"How did two Earth Element Realm First Layer cultivators like you end up in the Outer World?"

the man in the Black Robe asked casually.

Luo Tian briefly mentioned his experiences and how the Dongchen Continent had been invaded by an enemy.

Unexpectedly, the human small world where the man in the Black Robe was originally from had also been attacked by an enemy race and had already been conquered.

He and his younger sister had escaped together.

The Purple Scale Race had done him a favor, so the man in the Black Robe became their Honored Guest.

"My name is Yan Lihui. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can come find me."

The man in the Black Robe, Yan Lihui, clapped Luo Tian on the shoulder and returned to his own room.

Luo Tian nodded slightly.

'The man is cold on the surface, but he's not a bad person. Getting to know a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm expert is a gain in itself.'

After wandering around for a bit, Luo Tian returned to his room.

They were still five days away from the Earth and Water Realm, so Luo Tian began to practice his Cultivation.

In the Outer Void, the Spiritual Qi was thin, making the cultivation environment poor. One had to rely heavily on Cultivation Treasures and Spiritual Essence Coins.

Fortunately, among the spoils Luo Tian had taken from the golden-robed youth, there was a good supply of stored Cultivation Treasures.

Luo Tian took out a few items, activated his Divine Vein to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within them, and began his Cultivation.

It had been some time since he broke through to the Earth Element Realm.

He was not far from the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer.

「Within his Qi Sea Primordial Pool.」

The light-cyan True Essence slowly spun in a vortex, merging with the surrounding Primordial Pool Wall and expanding it.

「Half a day passed.」

Suddenly, Luo Tian's Identity Token vibrated slightly, flashing with a white light.

This was the Identity Token of a Core Disciple of the Yunxiao Sect. Here, besides the missing Ye Feng and Cheng Wanli, only Yi Jingwen could send him a message.

"Come quickly!" Yi Jingwen's urgent voice came from the Token.

...

"Miss Yi, you've just arrived in the Outer World. You're unfamiliar with the people and the place. Why not stay with the Purple Scale Race?"

Zi Shan's smile deepened as he slowly approached Yi Jingwen.

"As long as you're willing to be with me, you won't have to wander anymore. You can stay in the Earth and Water Realm and enjoy a life of wealth and luxury."

A lewd smile appeared in Zi Shan's eyes.

"Young Master Zi Shan, please have some self-respect."

Yi Jingwen said, her face cold and stiff.

"I was kind enough to rescue you, Miss Yi. Why must you be so cold?"

Zi Shan paid no mind to Yi Jingwen's words. Adopting an aggressive posture, he unleashed the aura of his cultivation, which had reached the Earth Element Realm Second Peak!

He didn't believe that on his own turf, a helpless and weak woman like Yi Jingwen would dare to resist!

WHOOSH!

Zi Shan suddenly struck, unleashing a coercive aura that made Yi Jingwen's True Essence tremble and her body feel heavy.

RIIIIP!

Yi Jingwen's sleeve was torn right off by Zi Shan, exposing her fragrant shoulder. Even a part of the warm, jade-like fullness beneath her bodice was faintly visible.

"Miss Yi, isn't this beneficial for both of us?"

Zi Shan slowly closed in, his face full of lecherous glee.

「Just then.」

The door to the room swung open, and a curious voice drifted in, "What's going on? Is there any benefit in it for me?"
