The vast mountains winded across the earth, surrounded by beautiful and magnificent clouds.

Ancient trees gathered into forests, towering into the sky. Even the plants and grass on the ground were lush and filled with vitality. There was an ancient and primitive aura everywhere.

Carrying a silver spear, Xia Xiaochong navigated through the underbrush with light steps, looking energetic, innocent and cute.

Spirit Accumulation Orb? Lin Xun couldnt help being curious.

Yes, its this.

As Xia Xiaochong turned her hand over, a blue bead around the size of an egg emitted a cold sheen in the palm of her hand.

When I hunt for savage beasts, I can use this orb to absorb their spirits. When the number of spirits that have been accumulated reaches a certain level, the Spirit Accumulation Bead will transform into Spirit Accumulation Jade, which can be used as medicine or to craft ancient treasures.

Xia Xiaochongs voice was crisp and pleasant, The Spirit Accumulation Orb in my hand is only mid-grade and can only absorb Spirit Sea Stage beasts. I have been tasked with the mission to fill this Spirit Accumulation Orb with spirits and transform it into a mid-grade Spirit Accumulation Jade. Once I completed this I can report back to Master.

I see. Lin Xuns interest was piqued. He took the Spirit Accumulation Orb to investigate it closer. As soon as he instilled his spirit sense into it he saw strands of savage beast spirits suspended within the orb, including the green-horned python, the black earth fox, the flying cloud fire sparrow, the three-eyed partridge and a dozen others.

Fill it with beast spirits, and it will transform into a spirit jadeIt can be used as medicine and craft weaponsDoes this treasure have such magical abilities? Lin Xun exclaimed in amazement.

It was the first time he came across such a special treasure.

Yes, according to my master, there are natural top-grade Spirit Accumulation Orbs in the world that can not only absorb the spirits of Cyclic Derivation level beasts, but also gather the qi of the great dao, which has an incredible effect on comprehending the secrets of the great dao. Xia Xiaochongs eyes gleamed yearningly.

Hey, theres saliva dribbling down your mouth.

Xia Xiaochong quickly wiped the corners of her lips, chuckling, How embarrassing.

Having said that, she didnt feel a tinge of embarrassment. Instead, she didnt seem to care.

Lin Xun was at a loss for words again. He really liked the girls personality. She wasnt only innocent and carefree but also very cute.

How many beast spirits do you need? asked Lin Xun

A troubled frown creased Xia Xiaochongs face. A lot and a lot.

Then how many?

Maybe at least several thousand.

That many?

Thats right, its very difficult for a mid-grade Spirit Accumulation Orb to transform into a mid-grade Spirit Accumulation Jade. Master said this is my test. If I dont succeed, I wont be allowed to return to the sect.

Which sect do you belong to?

Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am from the Star Dome Sect.

Star Dome Sect? Can you tell me more about it?

Havent you heard that our Star Dome Sect is very famous in the Fire Spirit Province?

Oh?

Haha, it's famous for a reason that you wont be able to guess. Its because there are only two people in the entire Star Dome Sect.

Two people?

Yes, its just Master and me.

Howamazing!

Lin Xun didnt know what to say for a while. A sect had become famous due to its small number of people!

I also think its amazing! But Xia Xiaochong raised her chin proudly, and her big eyes shone brightly.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss... Lin Xun sighed to himself.

The two continued to chat along the way and Lin Xun, inadvertently, found out a lot of things.

Ancient Wasteland Domain.

It was an ancient, vast, beautiful and magnificent world. Since ancient times, countless sects had been born in this world.

There were countless races, clans and beings there, and the number of geniuses was as many as the clouds in the sky. It had an unimaginable ancient foundation and a grand history.

There was also a saying in the Ancient Wasteland Domain: one domain was divided into four great worlds, and each world contained three thousand provinces.

The four worlds were precisely the East Victory World, West Infinity World, South Wonder World and North Dipper World.

Every world was as vast as the other, spanning endless territories, and it was no exaggeration to say that there were three thousand provinces.

Moreover, there were little worlds scattered throughout the four great worlds. The overall size of each world was beyond imagination.

Additionally, each world had its own unique cultivation traditions and cultivation history, including different clans, races, and teachings...

When Lin Xun was in the Ziyao Empire, he was already astonished when he heard about the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

It was only later that he learned that there had been countless legendary figures emerging from the Ancient Wasteland Domain since ancient times because it was a tremendous world.

He also learned that he was currently situated in the Fire Spirit Province of the West Infinity World in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

The West Infinity World.

It was a world that was very unfamiliar to Lin Xun.

Before he came to the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he had only heard about the general situation of the East Victory World.

This was because the East Victory World was known as the true holy land of the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

The oldest and largest sects in the Ancient Wasteland Domain were established there, so it was considered the central area of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that nearly half of the sects and clans with a history tracing back to ancient times in the Ancient Wasteland Domain were located in the East Victory World.

As far as Lin Xun knew, the Omega Sword Sect, where he could find Yun Qingbai, was located in the East Victory World!

Xiaochong, have you heard of the East Victory World? asked Lin Xun.

Of course, Ive heard about it, just like the West Infinity World, it is a famous holy land in the Ancient Wasteland. It isnt only flourishing but it is also watched over by Saints. It is the place that most cultivators in the world yearn to train in, Xia Xiaochong answered without thinking about it.

Lin Xuns spirit was lifted. Then, do you know how to get to the East Victory World from the West Infinity World?

I dont know. Xia Xiaochong shook her head, Its too far away. When I was young, I heard from my master that the East Victory World isnt a place that everyone can go to. You have to cross many worlds and great provinces to get there. To an ordinary person, its no different from trying to ascend heaven.

Lin Xuns heart sank. Is it that far?

He suddenly realized his problem. The end of the void tunnel that he entered from the empire should have been the East Victory World.

But an unexpected change happened and caused the void tunnel to explode. By accident, he came to the unfamiliar West Infinity World.

Do you want to go to the East Victory World? Xia Xiaochong asked curiously.

Lin Xun didnt hide anything from her. He nodded. His first purpose in coming to the Ancient Wasteland Domain was to get revenge and to do that, he had to go to the East Victory World.

This was because the Omega Sword Sect was there. Yun Qingbai was also there!

Youre so ambitious, Xia Xiaochong complimented, and her innocent face was alight with amazement.

Lin Xun stared at her, at a loss for words. I just want to go to the East Victory World, so what does that have to do with ambition?

Lin Xun couldnt help asking, Oh right, your master should know how to go to the East Victory World, right?

Of course.

Xia Xiaochong hesitated, When I return to the sect, I can ask for you.

I appreciate it. As Lin Xun was speaking, a sound pierced the air, and a group of cultivators whizzed towards them on beams of light.

It was a group of young cultivators consisting of handsome men and gorgeously dressed women. They all had an extraordinary air around them and looked like they came from a powerful sect or clan.

But soon, Lin Xun looked away. Most of them were only at the Spirit Sea Stage, and the strongest was a Heaven Ascension Stage cultivator. Given Lin Xuns current strength, they couldnt possibly threaten him.

Hey, isnt she the little thing from the Star Dome Sect? someone said mockingly.

The group of people paused in the air as they roared past.

Xia Xiaochongs cheeks puffed up, and she snapped, Hmph! My name is Xia Xiaochong! I am not a little thing!

Hahaha.

The men and women all roared with laughter. They all knew about Xia Xiaochongs character, so their attitudes were very disrespectful.

Among the group of cultivators, some women even frowned at Xia Xiaochong with disdain like they thought very little of her.

The youngster who headed the group asked mockingly, Little Chong, there are only ten days left to practice on Ziniu Mountain. Have you collected enough beast spirits?

No. Xia Xiaochong shook her head.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that Xia Xiaochong was indeed a carefree and innocent girl. She answered the youngster in a very straightforward manner and didnt seem to notice his mocking tone.

The youngster continued to ridicule her, It seems like your Star Dome Sect is going to embarrass itself in the Grand Sect Competition of the Fire Spirit Province. Your master is going to lose face because of you.

Senior Brother Mo Feng, why waste time with a stupid girl? Lets act quickly. We cant let our Cloud Nest Sect fall behind in the Grand Sect Competition, a woman reminded him impatiently.

Fine! Mo Feng nodded and immediately led the group towards the rolling mountains in the distance.

They didnt glance once at Lin Xun from the beginning to the end.

Lin Xun didnt think much of it, but Xia Xiaochong seemed a little upset. Her eyes turned red and tears rolled down from her big eyes.

Those guys were indeed very rude. Do you want me to teach them a lesson for you? Lin Xun asked. He couldnt bear to see the poor little girl sobbing.

Xia Xiaochong shook her head, looking low-spirited. I dont care about their ridicule. I am just worried that I will embarrass Master in this competition. Master has always been very kind to me, so I dont want him to be disappointed.

Lin Xun thought for a moment before he said, Can you tell me what this Grand Sect Competition is all about?

He had already decided in his heart that, if possible, he wouldnt mind helping the little girl.

Xia Xiaochong inhaled deeply and wiped away the tears on her face with her hands, trying to calm herself down before she explained the so-called Grand Sect Competition.
