Chapter 2318: Chapter 2316: Boundary Desolate Land

"Young master, where are we headed?" Hong Yi asked.

Zhang Xiaohao took a sip of red wine, met her gaze, and replied with a smile.

"What if I told you I want to take all the beautiful members of the Phoenix Clan, would you believe me?"

"Ah! Young master, is this true? Are you really going to take action? Our Beiji Phoenix Clan’s strength is very formidable; there are countless ancestors-level experts sitting in the clan. Moreover, there are numerous powerful formations! The clan consists of nearly a trillion members, possibly more!" Hong Yi hurriedly explained.

She was genuinely worried about Zhang Xiaohao venturing to the Beiji Phoenix Clan; given his current cultivation, he wouldn’t fare well there.

"It’s not just your Beiji Phoenix Clan; even the other four Phoenix races, I intend to visit them all! I’ll sweep away all the beautiful members within their clans." Zhang Xiaohao said with overwhelming confidence.

"Young master, can we be realistic? Combining the five Phoenix races, the number of experts is limitless, with at least tens of trillions of individuals. Even if they stood there without moving, you’d need thousands or tens of thousands of years to defeat them all!" Hong Yi worriedly remarked.

"No hurry now; this matter needs careful planning!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled.

"Young master, it’s really not feasible! The Phoenix Clan has countless experts!" Hong Yi advised again.

"Alright, Hong Yi, no matter how many experts your Phoenix Clan has, if I, Zhang Xiaohao, decide to leave, no one can stop me! Even if all five Phoenix races combine forces and set up formations with overwhelming power, they couldn’t hold me back!" Zhang Xiaohao confidently declared.

"Young master..." Hong Yi said.

"Trust me! No problem. Once my cultivation breaks through to the Unification Realm, I’ll visit your Phoenix Clan! I’ll have some discussions with certain people." Zhang Xiaohao smiled.

"Alright, don’t just stand there; the food will get cold, and it won’t taste good cold." Zhang Xiaohao invited.

"Mm." Hong Yi earnestly nodded.

At this, they resumed their meal.

The Spirit Boat flowed downstream, moving forward under the Puppet’s command.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

During this year, Zhang Xiaohao and Hong Yi either cultivated on the Spirit Boat or exchanged insights, with battles lasting at least a week each time.

Under Zhang Xiaohao’s guidance, Hong Yi mastered all the techniques and skills he imparted.

Besides these, Zhang Xiaohao read books or went fishing; he sometimes cast the fishing rod and pulled up a poisonous beast from the water. Regardless of how powerful these beasts were, they couldn’t create any waves in Zhang Xiaohao’s presence; he subdued them all.

After a year of travel, Zhang Xiaohao and Hong Yi finally reached the Boundary Desolate Land of the Mangdu Mountain range. Crossing the mountain ahead would lead them to the Northern Cold Desolate Domain.

Zhang Xiaohao and Hong Yi stood at the bow; with the river below having reached its end, the Spirit Boat flew through the sky under the Puppet’s control, with a short journey remaining to enter the Northern Cold Desolate Domain territory.

"Young master, crossing the mountain ahead leads to the Northern Cold Desolate Domain!" Hong Yi said.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

Suddenly.

Zhang Xiaohao furrowed his brows and shouted, "Stop!"

As his words fell, the Spiritual Boat Puppet cast a Magic Formula, promptly bringing the Spirit Boat to a halt.

"Young master, what’s wrong?" Hong Yi asked, puzzled.

"We’ve underestimated the people of Qingtian Fortress. Up ahead, there are billions of True Spirit troops heading our way! Judging by their demeanor, they’re not coming kindly; they seem to seek vengeance for their comrades perished in the Mangdu Mountain." Zhang Xiaohao earnestly explained.

"Young master, what should we do now? Should we turn back?" Hong Yi queried.

She didn’t ask how Zhang Xiaohao could perceive them; instead, she voiced her concerns.

"Turn back? I don’t mean to belittle them! Those people stand no chance!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

"Young master, are you planning to kill them all? Yet, relying on our strength alone might be challenging!" Hong Yi noted.

"Hehe! You don’t need to lift a finger. Though you are at Early Mahayana Peak, your strength is still too weak; perhaps at the Great Mahayana Extreme Realm, you’d stand a chance!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled.

"Young master, Hong Yi worries for you!" Hong Yi expressed.

"If it’s something I set my mind to, it will be accomplished. Trust me! Once they arrive, I’ll teach them a lesson!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled.

"Mm." Hong Yi nodded.

"While they’re still approaching, come with me." Zhang Xiaohao said.

Retracting the Spirit Boat beneath him, he embraced Hong Yi. Utilizing the Space Law Silk, he vanished and appeared a hundred kilometers below on the ground.

With a wave of his right hand, a golden longsword, transformed purely by Spiritual Power, began vigorously carving the surrounding walls. In less than a second, he opened up a space of over a hundred square meters.

With another wave of his hand, the Power of Reincarnation emerged from his palm, enveloping the space entirely.

"Wait here! Don’t wander around! As long as you’re here, no one can detect your presence." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Hong Yi obeys the young master." Hong Yi replied.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

After arranging for Hong Yi, he felt no lingering worries. He could now freely battle without restraint.

If they were so eager to meet their end, he’d oblige them.

Whoosh!

With the Space Law Silk deployed, Zhang Xiaohao’s body flickered and vanished.

Gazing at Zhang Xiaohao’s disappearing figure, Hong Yi solemnly prayed in her heart, "Young master, you must stay safe!"

In the sky.

A figure flashed, emerging from the space—Zhang Xiaohao.

Under the Divine Thought perception of the Three Pure Ones Scripture, the opposing billions of troops were rapidly advancing toward him. Given their speed, it would take roughly four hours to reach Zhang Xiaohao within the Mangdu Mountain.

After all, the surroundings were enveloped in dark green toxic mist, even if they relied on Poison Dragon Pills or small Poison Dragon Pills, they dared not fly swiftly.

Whoosh!

Zhang Xiaohao’s body flickered, deploying the Space Law Silk, traversing through the space. With a pat on the storage bag at his waist, nine unused super formations flew out one after another from the bag.
