Chapter 125: Chapter 89: Secrets of the Great Wilderness (Part 2)

Various thoughts intertwined in Qin Jin’s mind.

This journey, it felt as if he had touched upon profound secrets within this world.

With no road ahead, Qin Jin set the path for the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd to return, organizing his thoughts in his heart.

“Qi Chuan once mentioned the Divine Country, and later, many who joined the tribe had also heard legends about the Divine Country.”

“There is a high probability that the Divine Country truly exists.”

“But they have never heard of the Immortal Dynasty, thus deducing that the timeline of the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty should be earlier than the Divine Country’s.”

“The once-great Desolate Tribe could find the Divine Country and receive the True Scripture, but now, everything has become legend.”

His eyes showed a serious color, and a guess emerged in his heart: “Could it be that beyond that gateway lies the Divine Country?”

“In the past, the location of the Divine Country was adjacent to the Great Wilderness.”

“But over the years, for unknown reasons, fragments of the Mountain and River Giant Cauldron were disturbed, intercepted between the two, forming a barrier, an insurmountable gap.”

“Since then, humans from the Desolate Tribe could no longer find the Divine Country, as time passed… everything turned into a tale passed down orally.”

Qin Jin’s thoughts gradually became clearer.

This journey, he also wanted to see if he could find traces of the legendary Divine Country.

Now, there seemed to be a breakthrough.

“Regardless of why the restriction was set with the fragments of this giant cauldron, it seems to protect the Great Wilderness.”

“In this light, the incident of the Three-headed Exotic Python attack should be extremely rare, not the norm.”

“I wonder what role that Horse-headed God plays.”

Qin Jin’s expression grew serious.

“Upon returning, I will focus on developing the tribe and improving myself.”

“To see if within the Great Wilderness, there exist other tribes protected by ancient Sacrificial Spirits, to gather more information.”

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd looked back for a glance.

“Once I have enough strength, I will open this gateway to see if there truly exists a Divine Country on the other side.”

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd advanced at full speed, starting the journey back.

On the way back, there was no need to spend time exploring, making it much faster.

After the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd left, some time later.

On the other side of the Abyss, on top of a cliff, a figure was projected.

Horse body, human face, a rather handsome visage.

Horse-headed God.

In the projected scene on the cliff, it seemed to be lying on the mountaintop, eyes slightly closed, constantly breathing, engaged in cultivation.

Eventually, its eyes opened, looking upwards, as if gazing at the Mountain and River Fragments hidden in the firmament.

“Living beings have touched the restriction, yet left the forbidden land.”

A murmur sounded, its eyes closing again, continuing its cultivation.

“More than two hundred years remain…”

…

Mining Star.

In the night sky, stars dotted the expanse.

In the villa’s courtyard, the scent of barbecue was everywhere.

Looking around, Yan Gaoyuan and his wife, along with several unfamiliar middle-aged men and women, were flipping skewers, chatting and grilling.

Meanwhile, in another area.

A Saber-toothed Tiger lay on the ground savoring a piece of meat, several figures sitting on its soft fur-covered back, gazing at the starry sky, engaged in idle conversation.

Qin Jin sat in the center.

Next to him were Yan Yue, Yu Sheng, and Jiang Panxia.

With the school selection exams approaching, Qin Jin proactively reached out to several families for a small gathering.

His relationship with the Yan Family needed no elaboration; during the Chosen One event, he and Yu Sheng were life-and-death teammates, their bond quite close.

At this moment.

Holding a skewer, Yu Sheng spoke while eating, “Brother Jin, it’s been a while since we last met, and I feel you’ve grown even stronger.”

“It’s a pity you’ve accepted the academy’s special recruitment, so you don’t need to participate in the school selection exams. Otherwise, I’d like to see what top ranks you could achieve.”

“Being the star system champion is quite prestigious!”

“The school selection exam is just a process. Since I’ve already been specially recruited, I won’t waste time on it.”

Qin Jin replied calmly, looking at him, “Yu Sheng, have you decided which academy to choose?”

“It’s likely down to two choices.”

Yu Sheng chuckled, “Thanks to you, I’ve received promises from several academies that as long as my scores meet the standard and I choose them, I’ll receive additional benefits upon enrollment.”

“Some lower-ranked schools offer better conditions, but I want to broaden my horizons, so I’m torn between the Celestial Strategy Academy and the Time Law Academy.”

“I plan to decide after the exams; otherwise, if my scores aren’t high enough for these top academies, it’d be embarrassing.”

At that, the other three shared a knowing smile.

Qin Jin turned to his side, “Yan Yue, have you decided where to apply?”

“Of course, it’s Wuyuan.”

Yan Yue quickly replied, “The leg I want to hold onto has been specially recruited by Wuyuan, so where else could I go?”

“Wuyuan Academy is renowned for its Martial Arts Series, but its humanities programs aren’t bad either. I don’t need to take the martial exam. With my scores, plus the bonus points from martial arts, it’s more than enough.”

She shook her head, “It’s a pity, I’ve heard that the Martial Arts Series campus at Wuyuan Academy is separate from other programs, so it seems we won’t see each other as often, only during breaks.”

“Hang in there.”

Qin Jin said lightly, “Yan Yue, I’m still counting on you to manage the logistics team for me.”

“Don’t worry.”

Confidence rose in Yan Yue’s eyes, “I’ll make sure everything is handled perfectly.”

“A team, huh?”

Yu Sheng chimed in, “Brother Jin, will there be a place for me in the future? I could be your bodyguard.”

“More like security.”

Jiang Panxia, who had been silent until now, spoke up, hitting Yu Sheng’s weak spot, “I’ve heard of support personnel and healing staff in logistics teams, but never security personnel.”
