Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 602 The Pass

Far away from the Sea of Demons, and several continents away, Zhang Tian was following behind the group that came to intercept him. He would occasionally look at his wrist and the brand of the crowned sun on it.

He is now a part of the Lord of Lords faction.

From the bits he learned while he walked behind the banner holder and the group of cultivators following them, the Vast Expanse was divided into several portions.

Eight of these massive portions belonged to each of the known Suns. Zhang Tian only knew of four of them from what he heard: The White Sun or Wisest Sun, as he is called, The Lord of Lords, the Red Sun, or Laughing Slaughterer, and the Darkest Sun. These are the suns he had knowledge of. As for the remaining Four, there never came a topic discussing them, so he didn't pry.

The people leading them talked about the journey they took to reach this place and how the whole of the Vast Expanse was nothing but an experiment the Wisest Sun had made to recreate life.

His experiment was a failure since it couldn't create life. And only because a part of the Beyond had fallen into the land of the Vast Expanse did life come to exist.

The exiled people of the beyond had fallen and made the Imperial Family. And from the Imperial family defectors appeared and split among the planets of the Vast Expanse, creating life as Zhang Tian knew it.

It was a strange phenomenon because the way the topic was talked about, it didn't sound like it was millions of years ago since it happened but barely a few thousand years.

This meant that the time passage in the Vast Expanse is extremely faster than here in the Beyond.

Perhaps they wouldn't have to wait too long before their friends show up here, is what Zhang Tian thought about. And now they were being led to a teleportation gate that can cross a massive distance in a second. The distance was described in a way that gave Zhang Tian the shivers.

Because one of the people was jokingly saying that he would rather fly back to the Lord of Lords sect than go with these 'cavemen' from the Beyond. And another said that they would take two hundred years to arrive at the Lord of Lords sect in flight.

The two people speaking were both at the Emperor level.

This just explains how vast and incredibly gigantic the Beyond truly is. No wonder the day never seemed to arrive since it meant that the sun would take years to even make a full cycle just due to the incredible distance of the Beyond.

Soon they arrived at a massive stone gate that was at the top of a stand-alone mountain, and the flag bearers led the group towards it.

Several of the disciples were clearly displeased with Zhang Tian, but none of them could act on it. They could hint at it, say it even, but they didn't dare touch or harm him in any way even if a few of them were a stage above him in cultivation.

Just because of one thing.

The Lord of Lords knows his junior brother.

It doesn't matter what type of relationship between them is, as long as the Lord of Lords had clearly stated that it exists. That just made Zhang Tian into an untouchable.

That must also be the same for Dao Shen who's among the disciples of the Wisest Sun.

These two people were not to be messed with; they have a strong backing, literally the strongest backing in the Beyond just by having their names mentioned by the Lord of Lords. It meant complete and absolute immunity from all forces under the Lord of Lords.

The Flag Bearer was the smartest of the bunch, "Young Master Zhang Tian, please follow behind me. Everyone else, make sure our guests are attended to," he said.

The Flag Bearer walked forward into the gate, ushering Zhang Tian to follow after him. And just as he did so, his vision swam, and his mind seemed to reel as a powerful spatial law was applied to him.

His entire body felt as if it was being disintegrated then recomposed. Among the many cultivators that took this super distance teleportation gate, most would be throwing up their insides and food they ate a hundred years ago. But Zhang Tian was basically built different as all it took from him was a single deep breath before his nausea was gone.

Soon his vision returned to normal as he opened his eyes back into a land that seemed to be carved from myths.

Mountains flew above mountains, and fountains and cascading waterfalls fell from high above, creating a scenery that could only be described as divine.

It looked like a heavenly natural place to be at, where Suzaku birds seemed to nestle at the top of the waterfalls and within the caves. And many flood dragons flew or swam into the rivers and lakes surrounding the place.

The Qi that was coming out of this place was so thick that Zhang Tian needed several breaths of time to accustom himself to it.

And this wasn't even the sect.

The Flag bearer smirked as he saw the reaction on Zhang Tian's face. It's not every time that people come here without having massive nausea and migraines but someone from the Vast Expanse did so with ease; that's enough to put most disciples of the Lord of Lords faction to shame.

More cultivators arrived, and soon every single one of them, besides the disciples of the Lord of Lord faction, began throwing up.

Some even went unconscious, but it wasn't something new or strange to the disciples of the Lord of Lords faction; they were used to this.

Zhang Tian looked at the scenery and couldn't help but smile and mutter, "This is a great place for a sect."

The Flag Bearer laughed.

"This isn't the sect; this is just the front yard…" he then pointed "from here onward, flight is completely prohibited, please follow these rules. We will pass under the main waterfall; the Lord of Lords sect and abode are behind it."

"We don't know!" he said.

I was about to send him back to nightmare-land, but old Fu asked me to wait. "Explain," he said.

"It's a man in black; he always comes right before the darkness falls and gives us orders. We were ordered to stop anyone from approaching the Walker's cave."

"Cave?" I questioned.

"It's right there, right between those mountains. There is a wide pass that leads to a cave," the man said, gasping for breath and pointing.

"Are there more people guarding the pass?" I asked.

"No, it's only us," he added.

"Fu? What do you think."

"We'll just have to go and check. But something isn't right, you know," he said.

"I know, these people are not strong enough to kill off all the escorts that Dwei had."

"Then could the man in question be the one who caused the attack?" he asked.

"That's a probability, but let's keep our eyes peeled just out of caution," I said as I descended from the carriage.

"What about that guy?" old Fu asked as we left the captured cultivator alone.

He realized that he wasn't cuffed or tied and was pretty free to run away, and he didn't hesitate to jump right into the sand. He dived deeper and deeper as much and as fast as he possibly could.

I shrugged, "He's a dead man, but don't worry, my blood is still inside his system," I said as I gazed at the soldiers accompanying us, "What are you waiting for? March forward! We're going to the mountains," I said.

I led the group forward to the mountains. Making sure I kept my eyes and divine sense peeled for any and all potential threats.

Whoever managed to send Dwei back in that miserable of a state where he could do nothing but run away with an almost half dead young mistress and a had all of his companions killed in action means that they were not simple.

My Divine Sense is able to penetrate deep into the sand without it being affected by the atmosphere of the Sea of Demons. After all it only affects Heavenly Qi and Saint Qi. The normal types of Qi, as for mine, I don't have that issue. I can use my Divine Sense however I wish since it isn't fueled by the natural Qi that cultivators have.

"Hurry up," Old Fu said to the soldiers lagging behind us.

One of them spoke up, "We can't rush it, there might be bandits up ahead!"

"There are no more bandits ahead," I said.

"How would you know that?" one of the bolder soldiers said.

"Because underneath our feet is full of walkers, the entire area here is full of walkers," I replied.
