658: Chapter 654: Car on the Wilderness (Fifth Update!) 658: Chapter 654: Car on the Wilderness (Fifth Update!) Dusk City?

The Dusk Ancient Realm?

Lin Tian was bewildered when he heard Shui Ku’s words.

He barely understood the situation of the Cultivation World on Earth, let alone the Ancient Cultivation World.

Was the function of the Dusk Order only to allow him to enter the Dusk Realm?

With doubts in mind, Lin Tian lifted his head and looked at Shui Ku and Yun Jing, the couple, and asked, “What are you two talking about, this Ancient Cultivation World?

And that Dusk City has many treasures?

But, even if it does, I can’t get them right now!”

Upon hearing this, the expression of Shui Ku and Yun Jing was momentarily stunned.

Immediately after, Shui Ku gave a bitter smile and said, “Regarding the Ancient Cultivation World, we, the couple, only know so much.

It is said to be a prosperous era of cultivation on Ancient Earth, with mighty figures emerging one after another, numerous masters as if the clouds.

To put it crudely, back then — Qi Refinement was as common as dogs, and Foundation Establishment was everywhere!

But later, for some unknown reason, the entire Cultivation World went through a void period, many legacies broke off, which led to the birth and ultimate development of modern technology.

In contrast, the way of cultivation has fallen into decline!

“And the Cultivation World of today is able to maintain itself thanks to some ancient sites left by the Ancient Cultivation World.

There are many treasures within, and even many sects have started there…”

“The Dusk Ancient Realm we speak of is actually one of the ancient sites left by the Ancient Cultivation World!

And as for the Ancient Cultivation World itself, the specifics are also little known to us.

This token was given to us by a Golden Core Ancestor to whom we previously showed kindness.

It is said that in the Dusk Ancient Mirror’s Dusk City, a Fire Parasol tree exists, which is the Divine Tree where the Ancient Divine Beast, the Fire Phoenix, resides.

It’s useful for Cultivation, Treasure Refining, Alchemy, Healing, etc.

More than ten years ago, the two of us went to the Dusk Ancient Mirror, but unfortunately, we didn’t find the Fire Parasol tree.

Instead, our daughter Tingyun was inflicted with the erosion of the Spirit Fire Qi!”

Fire Parasol tree?!

As he heard the couple’s words, Lin Tian’s gaze grew even more fervent and bright.

In his past life as an Immortal Venerable, how could he not know about the Fire Parasol tree?

He had even encountered the Divine Beast, the Phoenix!

Such trees that Divine Beasts dwell in are indeed worthy of the name Divine Tree, as mentioned by Shui Ku, valuable for myriad uses, truly treasures through and through!

If he could obtain even a segment of the Fire Parasol tree, for him right now, it would be a possession as precious as a Supreme Treasure!

Not to mention, other treasures would undoubtedly be in that Dusk City!

Lin Tian had already made up his mind!

“Wait a moment!”

Then, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something, abruptly looked up, and exclaimed in horror, “Did you just say that your daughter Tingyun was exposed to the Spirit Fire Qi because she entered the Dusk Ancient Mirror with you ten years ago?”

“Yes!”

Shui Ku nodded affirmatively, then showed an astonished expression, “Sir, could it be that you mean to say…”

“That’s right, there should be Spiritual Fire within the Dusk Ancient Mirror!

This token of yours is extremely valuable.

Although I saved your daughter, this treasure is indeed weighty!”

Lin Tian’s eyes were shining like a rainbow, ablaze with an eagerness, as he showed an excited look, and said, “Where is this Dusk Ancient Mirror?

Take me there!

I shall take the Spiritual Fire and Fire Parasol tree; the two of you can take whatever other items you wish…”

Spiritual Fire!

How had this not occurred to them?

Shui Ku and Yun Jing were stunned for a moment, but finally, they understood.

“Sir, if this item is useful to you, we are relieved as a couple!

As for dividing the treasures, let’s not speak of that.

Even if we knew there was Spiritual Fire, we wouldn’t be able to obtain it, as it is one of the most fearsome entities in the world!

How could we possibly retrieve it?”

Shui Ku gave a wry smile and responded, “As for entering the Dusk Ancient Realm, it’s impossible right now.

According to time, we have to wait at least three more years for the Dusk Ancient Mirror to open on its own, then with this token, we can fend off the defensive formation’s might and seamlessly enter!

Sir, if you wish to enter, why not wait three years and then come find us.

We’ll take you there, is that agreeable?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian’s face couldn’t help but fall into a bit of disappointment.

But thinking that three years was merely a snap of the fingers for a Cultivator, he smiled and accepted the offer, “Then, in three years, I shall come to bother you both again!”

Declining their insistence to stay any longer, Lin Tian said his farewells and then turned to leave the confines of Kujing Mountain.

Lin Tian released his Divine Sense, scrutinizing the surroundings, and after determining the direction, he sped off towards the south, dashing through the wild mountains and ridges.

By the afternoon, Lin Tian finally caught sight of a national highway stretching towards the south, marked by a stele on the roadside—G207, National Highway 207!

However.

As Lin Tian flew along the highway, he hadn’t seen a single car pass by for quite some time, and he couldn’t help but wonder in secret.

To fly back to Liiu Yuan City on his sword would consume a vast amount of True Qi, which was not a trivial matter.

Luckily, after covering a few kilometers, Lin Tian spotted an off-road vehicle parked by a road connecting to the national highway.

The surroundings were deserted, with scarcely any human presence.

Now, with dusk approaching and the setting sun like blood, the car stood lonely at the roadside.

Lin Tian walked toward it, and it wasn’t until he got close that he realized the car’s trunk was open, with two people engrossed in something at the back.

“So there are people after all!”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Tian stepped over the shattered stones and sand, advancing forward.

“Who’s there?”

A stern shout came from the two who were busy at the trunk, who quickly closed it and looked up.

At this moment.

Lin Tian realized that the two were a man and a woman.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, with a square face, tall stature, and a resolute appearance, his eyes filled with wariness.

And the woman, also around thirty years of age, wore blue jeans and white sneakers, with the hem of her white blouse tied at her waist, revealing a flat and fair midriff.

Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and she had quite delicate and refined features, exuding an air of valiance, the overall impression she gave was that of maturity without losing vitality.

“Hello, I’m just passing by and was hoping to catch a lift.

Are you heading south?”

Seeing their wary faces, Lin Tian took a step back and asked with a smile.

After the two got a clear look at Lin Tian and saw he was just a young man in his twenties, wearing plain clothes, they slightly lowered their guard.

The man then frowned and asked, “Who are you, and what brings you to these desolate mountains and ridges?

How did you get here?”

“Hello, my name is Lin Tian!

I just graduated from high school, and I was…

cheated and brought here to Xiangjiang.

It was only with great difficulty that I managed to escape to these mountains, but then I got lost!”

Lin Tian quickly assessed the distance and finally responded.

Based on his previous flying speed, Lin Tian roughly estimated that he had made it back within the territory of Xiangjiang Province.

“Cheated?

It’s likely he got tricked by a scam organization!

He’s just out of high school, doesn’t know much, and probably got duped into coming here!”

At that moment, the woman in the white blouse and blue jeans chimed in, her clear voice speaking up, “Wen Bing, why not give him a ride?

These are desolate mountains and ridges, and it’s hundreds of kilometers from Xiangyang City.

There’s not a soul around for tens of kilometers.

If we ignore him, he could very well starve to death here!”

“Fine, we’ll give him a lift!

But he must get off when we reach the destination; otherwise, he’ll be in even greater danger!”

The young man hesitated for a moment before agreeing, looking up to Lin Tian with a smile, and said, “Kid, you’re lucky to have run into us!

My name is Lv Wenbing, and this is my wife, Zhou Zhiyao!”

“Little brother, hurry up and get in!”

Zhou Zhiyao directed a charming smile at Lin Tian while opening the car door for him.

“Thank you both so much!”

Lin Tian expressed his gratitude and without hesitation, got into the car.

Having a ride heading south was more than fortunate; otherwise, flying all the way would not only tire Lin Tian out, even if he had enough True Qi, but being seen flying in the mundane world could also spell trouble and likely bring about many headaches.
