2026-02-01 14:34:17After standing idle for a while, Mu Qiu found no movement behind him.
He couldn't help but glance sideward at the girl in the purple dress.
"Heavens, this lady is very trusting. Isn't she afraid that I might be a lecher?"
At this moment, the purple dress of the girl was in tatters, revealing large patches of her fair skin.
This sight immediately raised a wave of restlessness within Mu Qiu.
"Inhale, exhale, withhold!"
Hurrying to avert his gaze, Mu Qiu dared not look at the girl in the purple dress again.
...
A night passed without words, and dawn broke the next day.
The girl in the purple dress slowly opened her beautiful eyes, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.
Her poisoning had been neutralized, and her injuries had healed somewhat.
At this time, Mu Qiu also woke up from his meditation.
"Sir, thank you for your help last night!"
The girl in the purple dress slowly rose and bowed down to Mu Qiu in respect.
"It was a trifle, not worth mentioning."
In the midst of speaking, Mu Qiu's gaze could not help but sweep across the chest of the girl in the purple dress.
Feeling Mu Qiu's gaze, the girl in the purple dress instinctively looked down at herself.
Only then did she realize her clothes were torn, causing her face to blush and she felt quite embarrassed.
"Miss, I have other things to attend to, so I must take my leave now."
Pulling back his gaze, Mu Qiu opened his mouth abruptly.
Having said that, he was about to step away.
The girl in the purple dress was stunned as her long eyelashes fluttered constantly.
Isn't this young man in front of her a man?
Or is he blind?
Is he not interested in such a beauty like her?
Last night, while she was being treated for her injuries, he did not take advantage of her vulnerability.
Now, his gaze is clear, and his face is as calm as an ancient well.
Could it be that her beauty is so unbearable?
The more the girl in the purple dress thought about it, the angrier she got, eventually she pouted and shouted at Mu Qiu: "Hey, what's your name, where should I thank you later?"
"My name is Mu Qiu." His steps paused slightly, but Mu Qiu did not look back, "There's no need to thank me, if fate wills, we'll meet again."
"Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu..."
The girl in the purple dress murmured, feeling as though she'd heard this name somewhere but couldn't recollect where.
Just as she was about to lift her head and ask Mu Qiu again, she realized the boy had already vanished.
"What a jerk!"
The girl in the purple dress was annoyed. There were so many disciples in the Hengshan Sect who would eagerly flatter her for her beauty.
Even those true disciples were always eager to show her favor.
Yet that Mu Qiu boy hadn’t even taken a second glance at her.
How infuriating!
The girl in the purple dress stomped her foot, fiercely kicking a rock in front of her.
The rock rolled a few times, and an item under it caught her eye.
"Huh? What's this?"
She stooped down and picked up a token.
"Hengshan disciple’s identity token?" The girl in the purple dress recognized it immediately and said thoughtfully, "That Mu Qiu just now, was he also a Hengshan Sect disciple?"
With that in mind, the girl in the purple dress examined the identity token. The information inside left her a bit startled, "Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu? I think I heard there was someone with this name among the outer disciples."
"Could it be him?"
Considering this, the maiden in the purple dress curled her red lips into a hint of a smile.
Then, she swiftly headed towards the direction of the Hengshan Sect.
...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"Roar..."
Following his departure from the maiden in the purple dress, Mu Qiu continued towards the depths of the Firewolf Valley.
Along the way, whenever he encountered Firewolves, no matter how advanced they were, he killed them directly without hesitation.
Going through this cycle, Mu Qiu started to understand more about his physical power in conjunction with the power of the ancient gods he possessed.
In comparison to other martial artists with the same level of cultivation at the Seventh Layer, it was impossible for them to easily combat the Firewolves. But he was different, his physical body could completely ignore the flames emitted by the Firewolves.
Besides, his power was even greater than the Firewolves.
Consequently, when faced with direct confrontation, these Firewolves would undoubtedly be killed instantly.
But the deeper he went into the valley, the more Firewolves there were.
It wasn't until nightfall that a pack of wolves suddenly surrounded Mu Qiu.
He had originally planned to kill all of them, but he'd only managed to kill off the third when he heard a howl.
Then, at least a hundred pairs of red eyes started closing in on him from the darkness.
Among them, from the furthest point, was a flame wolf. It was three meters tall and engulfed in fire.
It was none other than a peak-first-order flame wolf king!
"Damn it!"
Realizing the danger, Mu Qiu teleported into his Legacy Space in a split second.
"That was close!"
Inside the Legacy Space, Mu Qiu watched as the peak flame wolf arrived at the location where he used to fight, with nearly a hundred flame wolves following and surrounding it.
Within them, there were as many as twenty to thirty intermediate flame wolves, and five to six advanced flame wolves.
How unlucky!
Wolves were vicious and cunning creatures.
Let alone flame wolves!
At this moment, they surrounded the area, sniffing around with their noses.
From time to time, they even let out a howl.
They seemed to be communicating something.
What startled Mu Qiu was that the nearly hundred-strong pack of wolves had not seen him, but they did not leave. They were still looking around in the vicinity.
"What's going on? They won't stay here forever, will they?"
In the legacy space, Mu Qiu was dumbfounded.
"Forget it. It would be better to check out the gains from this time."
Thereupon, Mu Qiu took out a bag.
He dumped out all the Fire Wolf Cores inside.
Counting them, there were a total of seventy-three.
Among them, thirteen were mid-grade cores, and sixty were low-grade cores.
In total, he could exchange them for 1,250 contribution points.
That should be enough!

Yet these were the resting places of the demon race's past emperors. Suddenly, Mu Qiu remembered — earlier, the old man had mentioned that these demon emperors, once revered for their great deeds, had all met with ill omens in their twilight years. A chill crept down Mu Qiu's spine. He shook his head sharply, as if to dislodge the thought. His curiosity was getting the better of him — and that never ended well.However, the moment he pondered deeper, a bone-chilling dread crept through his entire body. He dared not think further. Trembling fear. Burning curiosity. Two conflicting emotions tangled within him, tearing him apart."Hey, kid." The disheveled old man — who had been focused on scattering dirt ahead — suddenly halted and turned around. His voice was soft but deliberate. "Take a look at this soil. Doesn't it strike you as unusual?"Snapping back to reality, Mu Qiu froze for a moment. The old man had actually spoken to him first. This was unexpected — Mu Qiu had grown accustome

The vicissitudes of time. Mu Qiu felt as though an eternity had passed.As he stepped out of the wooden cabin, just like any other day, his clumsy figure suddenly froze.Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?Endless questions flashed through his mind. A glimmer of clarity pierced through his long-dulled vacant eyes. His gaze sharpened, growing clear once more."How did I end up here?"Mu Qiu lowered his head, murmuring to himself. A pensive expression settled over his face. And in that very moment, Mu Qiu — who had been numb and indifferent for so long — finally awoke. His three ethereal souls and seven earthly spirits seemed to snap back into place at once. A turbid breath escaped his lips. A sharp glint flashed from his eyes.Before him, reality blurred into illusion, as if he were drifting through clouds. He saw things that had once been invisible to him. Like those spine-chilling graves — before, they had merely appeared as ordinary mounds of earth. But now, squinting, he noticed

By the time the slovenly old man's movements roused him again, it was already daylight the next day. Mu Qiu followed the old man down over a dozen different paths, witnessing no fewer than a thousand graves of demon emperors. Yet all these tombs shared one common trait — even the newest headstones had been erected tens of thousands of years ago. In the last fifty millennia, not a single new grave had appeared.After trudging along various paths for over ten more days with the disheveled old man, this time the elder finally didn't lead him down a new route. Not that he was really leading Mu Qiu — because Mu Qiu was starting to suspect that the scruffy old man genuinely hadn't noticed his presence. Following the elder onto a familiar path, Mu Qiu recognized every single tombstone along the way. Was he doomed to repeat the same tedious routine?Sure enough, the old man resumed his monotonous tasks — scattering soil where it was due, ranting when the mood struck. A flicker of frustration
Chapter 207
Mu Qiu noticed that despite the old man's words, there were glistening drops in his murky eyes — as if tears were about to fall. Mu Qiu walked over to the tombstone in question. He waved his hand in front of the indescribable liquid, its foul stench assaulting his senses. Then, with some effort, he made out the name carved on the weathered stone tablet: Demon Emperor Xunkong.No doubt, this had once been a mighty demon emperor who shook the heavens and earth. Alas, time is the most merciless of all. No matter how peerless one may have been in life, there inevitably comes a day when even the strongest grow feeble with age.Mu Qiu, of course, couldn't be as disrespectful as the old man. In the end, he still scooped up a handful of yellow earth and added it to Demon Emperor Xunkong's grave — a gesture of reverence. For the strong, no matter the era, deserve the respect they are owed.After walking for a long time behind the disheveled old man, the elder suddenly turned and hurried back t

Unable to resist, two streams of bitter tears rolled down Mu Qiu's face in regret. Why on earth had he followed that wretched old man in the first place? Tears fell from his eyes, and his heart bled in anguish. Powerless to fight back, Mu Qiu felt his heart shatter into pieces. In that instant, his thoughts turned to Tang Ying. If he somehow survived this ordeal, how could he ever face her again? This humiliation was unbearable for any man. Mu Qiu would rather die than endure such torment.After a long internal struggle, an unusual sensation suddenly arose from his rear. Slowly, he closed his eyes. His heart turned to ashes. If escape was impossible... then let the storm rage even fiercer.Just as he was bracing himself to endure the cruel twist of fate with bitter resignation —Smack!A sharp, crisp sound suddenly rang out. The searing pain that exploded across his backside nearly made Mu Qiu cry out. Mu Qiu was furious now. He was already about to be humiliated by these damned spect

The footsteps grew louder. At first, they had been scattered and chaotic. But now, they fell into perfect, rhythmic unison — like a well-trained army on the march.This time, Mu Qiu finally saw what lurked beyond the window. Emerging from the endless darkness was a mighty demonic legion. Their tattered armor and rusted weapons left no doubt — these were undoubtedly demons. The army moved with eerie precision, cutting through the howling, frigid storm as if it were nothing. The leading general held a long halberd, its blade heavily rusted. Some of the soldiers carried broken spears, their weapons shattered and useless. Their eyes were hollow, devoid of life. They didn't seem to be living beings at all.As they drew closer, Mu Qiu could distinctly smell a foul, rotting stench — utterly repulsive. The demonic soldiers emitted a faint, eerie green glow as they marched forward in perfect formation, their destination unknown. A procession of ghostly soldiers. Though Mu Qiu had never witness
