After completely understanding the matters regarding Chaos City from the Bald Golden Crow, the joy in the heart of Qi Ping was simply difficult to put into words.
Only after truly experiencing the helplessness of having the path ahead cut off and having no access to cultivation methods could one truly understand what an exciting thing the hope of a breakthrough would be.
Next, no further disturbances occurred during the trip of Qi Ping through the Forest-Sea Demon Domain.
The matter of the Sky-Evil was concluded.
The trade cooperation agreement between the Star-Sea World and the Forest-Sea Demon Domain was also completely signed, with only some details left to discuss.
After both matters were thoroughly settled, the Bald Golden Crow began to lead Qi Ping toward the ancestral land of the Golden Crow Clan.
Having determined the direction of Chaos City within the mysterious and vast universe, the mood of Qi Ping was already good; at this moment, he was about to see an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time, and the joy in his heart increased by several degrees.
For Qi Ping, Yaya was the first comrade-in-arms to truly share life and death with him besides the Golden Marrow Bees, and this was a completely different kind of emotion than what he felt for the bees.
At this moment, Qi Ping suddenly recalled an image that the Little Guardian Fox had once predicted:
Yaya sat upon a throne, his expression looking down upon the world with disdain; beneath the throne were thousands of incomparably fierce demon armies.
Originally, Qi Ping felt that when they met next in the Forest-Sea Demon Domain, he might be able to see this image, but currently, Yaya, as a Seventh Rank demon beast, was still very far from that image.
'It seems this image might only be realized in Chaos City...' Qi Ping thought to himself.
After understanding the significance of the existence of Chaos City and part of the structure of the universe, Qi Ping could roughly guess what the significance of those thousands of demon soldiers was...
Following the figure of the Bald Golden Crow in extreme flight, with the addition of the profound mysteries of the extreme wind speed of the Kunpeng, the two of them flew for a full half-month before they reached the tribal land of the Golden Crow Clan.
The Forest-Sea Demon Domain was too large, so large that it exceeded the imagination of Qi Ping; it was fundamentally not something the Star-Sea World could compare to, which also indirectly proved the current strength of the Forest-Sea Demon Domain; the stronger a world, the wider its range, and conversely, it would continuously shrink, which was also the reason why the Star-Sea World was much smaller now compared to the ancient period.
"Brother Qi, that friend of yours is currently cultivating within the inheritance ancestral land of our Golden Crow Clan."
Qi Ping looked in the direction the Bald Golden Crow pointed, and upon seeing the inheritance ancestral land of the Golden Crow Clan for the first time, his pupils could not help but tremble once.
"The Solar Divine Wood!"
Qi Ping simply dared not trust his own eyes; he actually saw the Solar Divine Wood that was rumored to have long disappeared within the years!
The Solar Divine Wood was a legendary spirit wood that could rank alongside the Wutong Ancestral Tree of the Phoenix Clan; like the Lunar Divine Wood, they were both legendary divine woods of heaven and earth, representing the highest peak that the spirit wood race could reach.
However, the Solar Divine Wood before his eyes was not in its complete form; rather, only approximately one-fourth remained, with a gap in the middle that appeared to have been split open by a sword, while the remaining three-fourths had disappeared without a trace...
It was difficult to imagine what kind of existence could split such a terrifying divine wood, and even now, a terrifying power that could not be dissipated still wound around it.
What was even more exaggerated was that around this Solar Divine Wood, a large number of precious Sun-attribute spirit woods and fire-attribute spirit woods were situated; among them, at least dozens of types were ones that had long become completely extinct in the Star-Sea World.
They surrounded the Solar Divine Wood, forming a relationship of symbiotic nourishment with it.
Countless Solar True Fires were guided by the powerful spirit woods and the Solar Divine Wood, creating an unimaginable immortal blessed land.
The various fruits, branches, leaves, or condensed spirit dews that fell upon the ground were all rare Sun-attribute treasures.
Especially those around the Solar Divine Wood—no matter which piece was taken out, it would be a rare natural treasure capable of causing a massive earthquake in the Star-Sea World.
For the first time, Qi Ping so profoundly experienced the gap between the Star-Sea World and the Forest-Sea Demon Domain, and finally understood so clearly to what degree the current Star-Sea World had declined.
The Golden Crow ancestral land of the Forest-Sea Demon Domain was already like this; it was difficult to imagine how vast and wealthy the Forest-Sea Demon Domain itself must be.
However, more expectations also rose within the heart of Qi Ping—what of Chaos City, which was countless times more vast than the Forest-Sea Demon Domain? What kind of scene would that be?
According to the words of the Bald Golden Crow, in a place like Chaos City, even as a peak expert of the Golden Crow Clan, it would not be particularly conspicuous upon arriving there.
Only when an existence of the level of the Mysterious Armored Old Turtle went there would true importance be attached to them.
Therefore, after seeing the grand occasion of the Golden Crow Clan, Qi Ping did not have much of a sense of loss in his heart; instead, his expectations for the future grew stronger.
For him, this was the true hope of being undying and invincible; he had enough confidence in his own beliefs, and he believed even more that with his awakened Myriad Manifestation Druid aptitude, as long as he was cautious enough, he would have the opportunity to climb up step by step and reach the true undying and invincible realm!
And just after the Bald Golden Crow descended upon the Golden Crow inheritance ancestral land, because of that extreme bloodline power, almost all of the Golden Crow kinsmen were startled awake.
"Is it Ancestor Jin?"
"Why has Ancestor Jin come? Has some major event occurred?"
They looked at the Bald Golden Crow with extreme fervor, looking at this peak expert of the Golden Crow Clan.
At this moment, they were also extremely curious as to what reason caused Ancestor Jin to manifest; under normal circumstances, as the strongest person of the contemporary Golden Crow Clan and an existence capable of manifesting as a fierce sun, the Bald Golden Crow would absolutely not appear in such a place unless a major event occurred.
The appearance of the Bald Golden Crow even caused the Solar Divine Wood, which was in a semi-slumbering state, to awaken a portion of its consciousness.
The weight of the Bald Golden Crow for the entire Golden Crow Clan had long reached an unsurpassable level.
At the same time, another matter that shocked them was this:
"A pure-blooded Kunpeng? Has the pure-blooded lineage of the Kunpeng Clan not already gone extinct?"
"Could it be that some mixed-blood demon beast has returned to its ancestors? When did this appear?"
Reasonably speaking, as a divine beast bloodline even more rare than the Golden Crow Clan, the appearance of such a powerful pure-blooded Kunpeng should have triggered no small commotion in the Forest-Sea Demon Domain long ago.
And what shocked them even more was that this pure-blooded Kunpeng actually stood side-by-side with Ancestor Jin, and judging by the state of the two, they were clearly extremely close in relationship.
This was very difficult to imagine in the logic of the demon beast race, because among demon beasts, bloodline and strength represented everything.
A demon beast with insufficient bloodline power and insufficient strength absolutely did not possess the qualification to stand side-by-side with a true expert; who was the Bald Golden Crow? He was the peak expert of the Golden Crow Clan and the object of worship for countless Golden Crow kinsmen.
Therefore, after seeing this scene, the shock of these Golden Crow kinsmen could be imagined.
Consequently, these Golden Crow kinsmen could not help but begin to speculate:
"Who exactly is this suddenly appearing pure-blooded Kunpeng? To think he could be treated this way by Ancestor Jin?"
Even those elders of the Golden Crow Clan who guarded the Golden Crow ancestral land cast doubtful gazes; they similarly felt it was extremely inconceivable upon seeing this scene.
However, because of the supreme authority of the Bald Golden Crow within the Golden Crow Clan, no one dared to open their mouth to inquire, and they only quietly waited for the instructions sent down by the Bald Golden Crow.
At the moment when all the Golden Crow kinsmen were fallen into shock and fervor, there was only a single black crow whose feathers were black to the extreme; upon seeing that Kunpeng figure standing beside the peak expert of the Golden Crow Clan, the entire crow was stunned.
It was as if its brain was about to crash.
And then, a line of hot tears flowed uncontrollably from its eyes.
The other Golden Crow kinsmen who saw this scene once again revealed expressions of shock and doubt.
"What is the situation? Holy Son Heitian is crying?"
"I did not see incorrectly, did I? What could possibly make Heitian act like this?"
One must know that Heitian was the strongest genius of the Golden Crow Clan who had risen over these past several thousand years!
In the beginning, when Heitian first appeared, he was merely a little crow possessing a trace of Golden Crow bloodline; besides having a bit of firm willpower, he did not have a single brilliant point.
Compared to other pure-blooded Golden Crows with extraordinary talent, Heitian was far inferior.
However, it was precisely such a little crow that every demon looked down upon who had stubbornly relied on his inconspicuous and meager beginnings to struggle all the way through breakthroughs, reaching today's position with inconceivable speed.
Every time Heitian improved, it seemed as though he had already exhausted his potential and succeeded only by risking his life, making demons feel that the upper limit of his achievements was merely thus.
This continued until this little crow broke through his limits time and time again, going from the most inconspicuous bloodline grade to now becoming the strongest genius of the Golden Crow Clan.
After accepting the core inheritance of the Golden Crow Clan a hundred years ago, he even broke through to the Eighth Rank lower-grade bloodline, carving out his fame as the strongest genius of the Golden Crow Clan, and he was also the one most likely to break through to the Mahayana Stage next in the Golden Crow Clan.
Only people of the Golden Crow Clan knew exactly how great the difficulty was to reach his current status among the cloud-gathering geniuses of the Golden Crow Clan.
Naturally, Heitian also became the true idol in the eyes of countless young Golden Crow blood-descendants.
But it was such an existence that was now shedding tears before them?
Yet Heitian had never shed a single tear even when experiencing the most painful struggles during his bloodline transformations!
But Heitian could no longer care about these things now.
He stood upon a Sun-attribute spirit wood, staring blankly at that Kunpeng figure beside the peak expert of the Golden Crow Clan, just like back then on the small Peak 007 in the Cloud-Mist Mountain Range, when he stood atop that Radiant Sun Wood and watched that figure busy working in the spirit fields...
