"Is this the truth of the world?" Jiang Xue pondered for a moment, realizing that this was beyond her understanding, and shook her head to dismiss it from her mind.
"What's wrong? You seem not very interested... Such a grand question hasn't sparked even a bit of curiosity in you?" Wang Long smiled, though he was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Xue smiled back and said, "Do you think everyone is like you? Thinking so far ahead... What I seek is very simple; as long as I can be by your side and live peacefully, that's enough for me. These things are too profound and complex for me to understand, and there's no need for me to understand them. However, one thing I absolutely believe in is trusting you."
Wang Long was slightly taken aback, tightly holding her hand and softly saying, "Thank you, let's go..."
Jiang Xue did not ask where they were going; it didn't matter to her.
But Wang Long spoke up.
"Do you remember when we dealt with Yang Fuhai? You, me, and Princess Lingli connected with those three fierce beasts and summoned the so-called ultimate Fierce Beast, Evil and Malicious?"
Jiang Xue nodded; she would never forget that extraordinary experience.
"Before that, we seemed to transform into a pure Spirit, drifting freely over the boundless wilderness, running wildly without restraint. That feeling was incredibly wonderful, wasn't it?"
"Indeed it was, but at that time I couldn't feel you, so I would rather not have it."
Wang Long smiled, wrapping his arms around Jiang Xue's slender waist. With a gentle leap off the ground, he said softly, "We are going there to explore the truth of that moment."
"Are you saying that what we saw back then was all real?"
"That's right. And if I'm not mistaken, that so-called Evil and Malicious, the Four Great Beasts, is truly the biggest joke in the world—a joke that mocks all living beings..."
Jiang Xue asked, "Where are you flying to?"
"Dragon Duel, Heavenly Python, Chaos, Taotie. These four ferocious beasts were completely scattered to prevent them from gathering again to wreak havoc on the world. Therefore, the place where they were sealed and where the Evil and Malicious body was broken should be in this Central Continent, at the center between the Eastern Sea and the Kyushu Islands..."
"That is to say, Yingzhou."
Jiang Xue's heart trembled as she said solemnly, "But Yingzhou is the territory of the Human Emperor. Isn't it dangerous to go there recklessly?"
"There's no need to worry. It's just the two of us, and that place is quite remote and desolate; no one will notice us..." Wang Long replied confidently, as if he could feel what he had seen and sensed that day.
With Wang Long's current cultivation level, crossing the Eastern Sea and flying to another land still took several days of effort before he gradually saw the land of Yingzhou.
Yingzhou and the Kyushu Islands, also known as the Ancestor Continent, are two continents distinct from the other seven continents. Although the other seven pieces of land are divided, they are essentially connected, forming the most expansive land in the world.
In contrast, Yingzhou and the Ancestor Continent are isolated from the mortal world, floating above the Eastern Sea, Northern Sea, and Southern Sea. Many people from the Central Continent regard these two continents as enormous islands.
However, high above in the Nine Heavens, Wang Long could see that unlike Kyushu Islands, Yingzhou was vibrant with life; the entire continent was a lush green oasis amidst the vast sea.
"What a beautiful sight... Speaking of which, we bear the heavy burden of saving the world but have never traveled much. In our lifetime, we've only been to Kyushu Islands and over the Eastern Sea!"
Wang Long laughed heartily and said, "Once the war is over, we will roam across the Nine Provinces and Four Seas. At that time, even if it's at the ends of the earth, we can stroll leisurely wherever we want."
"I hope so."
Wang Long smiled: "It will definitely happen... We're almost there; let's go!"
The two figures darted through the clouds like streaks of light across the sky and gradually passed over the southernmost land of Yingzhou, arriving at its central region.
"It should be just ahead, I can feel it..."
Wang Long's eyes flashed with a glimmer as he slowly lowered his hand, holding Jiang Xue's, and they arrived at a vast open area in front of a dense forest.
As soon as they touched the ground, Jiang Xue exclaimed in surprise and nodded, saying, "Indeed, this is the place... The scene that appeared in our minds back then was indeed here!"
Wang Long nodded as well and walked forward, silently sighing, "If my guess is correct... the place that sealed the Four Great Beasts' Corpses is right here."
"They were sealed here and will be reunited and revived here!"
Jiang Xue was taken aback and realized, "So you came here to revive the four fierce beasts..."
Wang Long nodded, "Yes and no... or rather, not just for that. Everything will be clear once we find those beasts' Corpses and revive them!"
As they walked, Wang Long continuously explored with Dragon Sense, searching for the faint and elusive aura of the Primeval Wilderness.
As they gradually approached the forest, this aura became increasingly intense. Moreover, an untamed intent lingered in the surroundings, refusing to relent even after countless years!
"Hmm?! It's right here!"
Wang Long suddenly shouted and pointed to the ground ahead.
Jiang Xue glanced over but saw nothing unusual; only the surrounding trees seemed to tremble in fear, leaning awkwardly outward as if trying to spread away.
"Heh heh, this Evil and Malicious ferocity is so formidable that even sealed it can intimidate all living beings; not even a blade of grass or a tree is an exception!"
Jiang Xue looked around and asked in confusion, "But aside from these, this place seems quite ordinary. I can't see anything special. Could it really be the burial site of the seal for Evil and Malicious?"
"That's normal, because those who buried them clearly didn't want anyone to discover this secret... However, they can't fool me!"
"Is it right beneath us?"
"That's correct! But before we can break the seal and release the bones of Evil and Malicious, we need to wait for one person..." Wang Long said with a sly smile, glancing around.
"Who?!" Jiang Xue asked, somewhat puzzled.
But as soon as she spoke, she realized and exclaimed, "Is it Princess Lingli?! You and I are sealed with Dragon Duel and Heavenly Python, and Taotie has also been captured by you. So to fully awaken Evil and Malicious, we need that one soul, which is the Chaos Spirit!"
"Exactly, and I believe she should be nearby, getting closer and closer, converging towards us..."
Jiang Xue wondered, "Is this what they call destiny? Can she also sense that Evil and Malicious is about to revive?"
Wang Long sighed with a bitter smile, "It's possible... but more likely, she has probably been tracking us. Did you take anything from her?"
Jiang Xue hurriedly reached up to remove a hairpin from her hair. It was adorned with a large Luminous Pearl that shimmered gently, resembling the purest Water Droplet.
