Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 367: Chapter 368: West Niu He Continent

West Niu He Continent, San Shui Xiang.

Though this place had ”water” in its name, it was actually a desolate wilderness.

Parched hills and deep valleys, their shapes bizarre and twisted, as if crushed thousands of times.

As far as the eye could see, there was only black, dried earth—a scene of utter death.

Sometimes place names, besides describing appearance, carried other meanings.

For example, lacking something might lead to naming after it—like children lacking something in their five elements having it added to their name.

Of course, some had already given up and started self-mockery in their naming.

Such was San Shui Xiang—three drops of water landing here would echo throughout the entire region.

This place was incomparably parched, spiritual energy even more scarce.

From the dried earth, suddenly soil began to gather and rise.

In just moments, it formed three humanoid creatures.

Their skin was slightly dark, their eyes slanted, their pupils crimson, their limbs elongated.

One was slightly hunched, appearing somewhat withered.

One stood straight and tall, with a solemn expression.

The last had an alluring figure, her posture enchanting, and even her casual movements seemed to possess countless charms.

Even though she didn’t look quite human at this moment.

But some allure came from the bones—it was in subconscious movements, in subconscious tones.

Like that saying—true beauty lies in the bones.

The woman raised her head slightly, gazing at the blazing sun in the sky, and let out a soft sigh:

”Long time no see...”

Her voice was soft and beautiful, sounding somewhat like a murmur, yet didn’t feel affected.

The young man’s gaze swept over, paying no attention to the woman’s sigh.

His tone was somewhat heavy as he said:

”We’ve been discovered. Xuan Qing Tian Sect is searching for us like madmen.”

The old man nodded gently: ”Naturally... who doesn’t know the Xuan Qing Tian Sect of back then? But today’s Xuan Qing Tian Sect is no longer what it was.”

”Now the eighteen immortal gates each have their own territories. His Xuan Qing Tian Sect’s turf doesn’t have our people, and he wants to extend his reach elsewhere—he has to ask if the other immortal gates will agree.”

”They were the victors, so naturally they’ve forgotten the pain from back then.”

”But we haven’t. We’ve been in pain for thousands of years... I’ve had enough of living in those broken places.”

The old man’s crimson gaze lifted: ”We didn’t die out completely, so naturally we’ve learned to be clever. They grow, and so do we.”

”But the time isn’t right yet. First, throw out some small bait, let them have a taste.”

The young man hesitated slightly: ”Will they detect our purpose from that bait?”

”You’re still as stupid as ever.” The woman raised her hand slightly to shield herself from the fierce sun, chuckled softly, and said in a gentle voice,

”Fishing requires a rod. Casting the hook depends on the rod, not your face. If the hook sinks to the bottom, just cut the line—do you really need to go down and live or die with the hook?”

”I don’t see you living or dying with your own kind, yet you’re so attached to humanity? Is it that you’ve been abused so much you’ve grown addicted, and can’t leave without itching?”

The young man’s eyes revealed barely contained anger.

He frowned, staring dead at the woman, his fists clenched tight, as if he might strike her at any moment.

”Chi Li, speak properly!” The old man’s tone was steady, but traces of anger could still be heard. ”Do you want to stay here for another few thousand years?”

The woman snorted softly in response, her gaze once again drifting leisurely to that blazing hot sun.

As if she loved it dearly.

The young man took two deep breaths and slowly unclenched his fists.

The old man turned his gaze to the young man with a gratified expression:

”We are weak now—unity is the only way forward.”

The woman continued looking at the sun, only the young man nodded heavily twice.

The old man’s gaze turned to the woman, then calmly spoke:

”Though we lost to humans back then, it would be more accurate to say we lost to the Dao. But this time is different.”

The woman seemed to sense something, turning her gaze over.

Her eyes instantly grew fervent.

The old man produced a brilliant transparent crystal in his hand, within which a thread of pure white light circulated.

The old man spoke firmly: ”The heavenly mandate has collapsed! Fortune has scattered and remains unclaimed! This time! Nothing can help humanity anymore!”
