Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Chapter 293 The History of the Great Wilderness

There is still a lot to do.

Coming to the Great Wilderness is almost like coming to a new world, and Ying's understanding of this world almost has to start all over again.

Ying wants to find out what kind of agreement Tianya Island and Dahuang reached that would cause the owner of Tianya Island to take actions that are hostile to almost all forces in public, and what consequences will her actions bring?

Next is the Celestial Immortals. What does Taoist Mingyang mean by "stopping the Celestial Immortals"? Are the Celestial Immortals really enemies? Can the Ancient Saint of the Desolate World be trusted? What is the connection between what the Ancient Saint of the Desolate World and the Celestial Immortals have done and the current situation of this world?

There is also the whereabouts of Guiyan, Lingyue, Gu Ling and Qu Lan. They were all Ying's companions, but they all lost contact with Ying after the incident on Tianya Island. Lingyue and Qu Lan are both powerful immortals, and Gu Ling has the ability to protect herself, but Guiyan is different. Even if she is really a banished immortal, the current Guiyan is not even in the earthly immortal realm. Ying is really worried about Guiyan's safety.

As for the matter of her name being taken away, Ying had some guesses in her mind. After all, she was a being from outside the world. To this world, especially to the Ancient Sage Tianhuang, she was an unstable variable. Taking her name might be a means for this celestial being to guard against her. It would be better to say that it was surprising enough for Ying to find that she was not imprisoned by the other party.

The last one is the biggest threat that Ying knew about before - Guiyi Taoist. Since Ying came to this world, this guy has been secretly planning the so-called "unity". Although his purpose in doing so is unknown, it is unlikely to be a good thing.

The only person related to the Taoist Guiyi in the Great Wilderness is Hei Lingyue, but although Hei Lingyue is powerful, he may not be worth mentioning in front of the celestial immortals. After all, Sangge, who was captured by Hei Lingyue and brought to the Great Wilderness, has become a king of the heavenly realm. Hei Lingyue was either captured or killed again. It seems that in a place like the Great Wilderness where there are celestial immortals, Hei Lingyue is not a threat, but it is different for the Taoist Guiyi.

Judging from the conversation with Immortal Zhenyuan, although Guiyi Taoist does not have the status of a celestial immortal, his strength is also terrifyingly strong. At least before Guiyi Taoist arrived, his power had already made Immortal Zhenyuan struggle to support him. However, if Ancient Sage Tianhuang is willing to take action against him, perhaps he can really resolve the crisis brought by Guiyi Taoist.

However, the other party was completely focused on the immortals who had exhausted the world's [future]. Ying thought that she could not convince him for the time being, so she had to ask the question that concerned her most at the moment:

"Where is Guiyan?"

"Why did you take my name?"

One thing is about Guiyan, and the other thing is about herself. Ying asked this question, but heard Xiaonan and Sangge's exclamations. She didn't think too much about it, but looked at the Ancient Sage Tianhuang, waiting for the other party to give an answer.

Doing so is also risky. The Ancient Sage Tianhuang has not shown any goodwill towards her so far. Judging from their methods, it can even be said that there is a conflict between them. If the Ancient Sage Tianhuang really intends to do something bad to Ying, can Ying really protect herself?

After learning about the situation in Dahuang from Shudan, Ying thought for a long time and finally decided to meet the Ancient Sage of Tianhuang.

She has a way to protect herself, but it is still uncertain whether this method is feasible, so now she can only take a gamble.

"Guiyan is in Manghuang City, but I can't tell you the exact location." Unexpectedly, the Ancient Sage Tianhuang actually gave an answer.

Seeing that something was going on, Ying quickly asked, "Why?"

"Because you are special." The ancient sage Tianhuang said as he waved his hand, and everyone immediately appeared outside the hall, even floating high in the sky, looking down from above. Although it was still dark, Ying could still see the appearance of Manghuang City clearly.

It was indeed a magnificent world. Ying was probably more than a thousand meters away from the ground at this moment, but all he could see were various buildings. This desolate city seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Back then in Linyuan City, she was surprised by the high mountains of Tiancang Sect in the city. But now, Manghuang City has mountains, streams, rivers and lakes. Many buildings are built against the mountains and beside the water. A faint fairy air emanates from the top of the mountains and the bottom of the water. Although this is a city on earth, it is like a country of immortals in heaven.

"Fellow Daoist Ying, do you know that this wild city used to be filled with yellow sand and lacked spiritual energy? Most of the people living here were exiled prisoners. It was a place of disorder and chaos, and was recognized by the world as a lawless place."

"The prisoners exiled here can hardly practice, and can't even replenish their mana. In the Great Wilderness, what awaits those cultivators is the gradual depletion and exhaustion of their mana. In the end, they will be trapped in the struggle for survival like many mortals in the Great Wilderness."

"Until the King of Heaven appeared."

Having said this, Sangge also listened attentively. Although he was brought back to Manghuang City by the Ancient Sage Tianhuang after he came to the Great Wilderness and became the new King of Heaven, the Ancient Sage Tianhuang had never told him anything about the Great Wilderness.

He thought that he was just like the puppet emperor described in those stories. The Ancient Sage Tianhuang only gave him the title of king, and the real power was still in the hands of the other party. As long as he had no ambitions, he might be able to spend the rest of his life in peace. But once he had thoughts that he shouldn't have, he might soon become a dead soul under the Ancient Sage Tianhuang.

So Sangge usually just ate, drank and had fun, and did not show any ambition. But when he heard the ancient sage Tianhuang mention the origin of King Tianjing, after all, it was related to his ancestors, and maybe even related to his own life experience, so he listened carefully.

"King Tianjing himself is not an exiled prisoner, but he is not a cultivator either. He is just an ordinary person born in the Great Wilderness. But although he is ordinary, he is actually not ordinary. The spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness is very thin. It is difficult for ordinary cultivators to maintain their magic power with this thin spiritual energy. However, he can rely on this spiritual energy to cultivate, and his cultivation speed is very fast. In just ten years, he has entered the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"Why can he practice so fast?" Ying asked.

“No one can explain it clearly,” the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang responded, “Perhaps it’s because of his bloodline. Although the elders of the family before him were unable to practice, there are exceptions to everything, and he is that exception. So he became the first person in the Great Wilderness to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm through practice.”

Relying on practice to step into the earthly immortal realm, this reminded Ying of the sacred tree [How] in the Great Wilderness. Eating the fruit of [How] can make one ascend to immortality in one step. With such a thing, it stands to reason that the Great Wilderness would not decline as the ancient sage of Tianhuang said.

Ying raised her question, but the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang responded: "There was no [how] in the original Great Wasteland. [How] is a sacred tree, but it is not a natural thing."

"After entering the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Realm King left the Great Wilderness. Although he could rely on the thin spiritual energy to cultivate, as his cultivation level increased, the spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness could not meet his needs after all. He was gone for a hundred years, and when he returned, he had become a celestial immortal, the only celestial immortal in the Great Wilderness at that time."

When the Ancient Saint Tianhuang said this, he suddenly asked Ying, "What do you think the result will be?"

"Asking a question like this will definitely not lead to good results," Ying responded.

"That's right." In the previous conversation, the Ancient Saint Tianhuang had not shown any emotion, but at this moment he could not help but sigh softly, "King Tianjing died, died in the Great Wilderness, assassinated by a group of immortals from outside the Great Wilderness. Before he died, he spilled his blood on countless heroes who died in vain in the Great Wilderness, and those people's corpses turned into the original seedlings of [how], after thousands of years, in the end only five sacred trees remained in the world."

"And the corpse of the Heavenly Realm King turned into a barrier, blocking outsiders who attempted to enter the Great Wilderness. The people of the Great Wilderness could enter and leave the Great Wilderness at will, but outsiders were not allowed to enter. Since then, the Great Wilderness has been stable, and I have the opportunity to become an immortal."

"It sounds like you are very grateful to King Tianjing?" Ying asked.

The Ancient Saint Tianhuang nodded and said, "Without the Heaven Realm King, there would be no me, and there would be no Great Desolation today - an existence that is above the world eroded by demonic energy. Therefore, the Great Desolation still belongs to the Heaven Realm King, and even his descendants should be respected by me."

As he spoke, the Ancient Sage Tianhuang looked at Sangge and bowed slightly to him. Sangge immediately tensed his body.

"But what does this have to do with what I asked you before?" Ying also looked at Sangge, but still asked the two questions, "Why can't you tell me where Guiyan is? Why did you take my name?"

"This is actually a problem. You are very special. Although your strength is limited, your specialness is enough to cause huge changes. Therefore, I must take away your name, hide your specialness, and prevent you from coming into contact with the celestial beings, so that the Great Desolation I built... will be destroyed in an instant."

This made Ying frown. She had no idea what "taking away the name" and "hiding the special features" meant, but she knew that she had been restrained by one or even many constraints. She immediately responded, "So you want to restrict me for the sake of the stability of the Great Wilderness and make Guiyan a sacrifice?"

"That's right." The Ancient Saint Tianhuang answered without hesitation, "I know what the world outside the Great Wilderness is facing, but that is the retribution for the Celestial Immortals exhausting the [Future]. There is no need for the Great Wilderness to atone for their mistakes."

"All I ask for is peace and stability in the wilderness."
