I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Xu Yan and his three martial arts brothers, along with the Azure Sea Turtle pretending to be dead inside its shell, hid in the mountains for two days.

"Wasn't it a fight for the control of the Hong Ze Domain?"

Xu Yan looked towards the Hong Ze Domain and didn't spot any traces of powerful beings; the surrounding Chaos was also desolate and empty.

"Let's go, to the Hong Ze Domain!"

Assured that no powerful beings were nearby, and that the unknown battle had not erupted for the sake of the Hong Ze Domain, Xu Yan no longer chose to hide.

Meng Chong, Fang Hao, and Jiang Buping also emerged from the Flying Boat.

"Old turtle, you just stay here for now. The moment you notice someone approaching, transmit a message to us immediately!"

Xu Yan kicked the turtle shell and said.

The Azure Sea Turtle poked its head out, nodded and said, "No problem, I will be vigilant and send a message at the first sign of someone approaching!"

The Azure Sea Turtle looked relieved.

The Hong Ze Domain, to him, was a source of fear, he couldn't control the emotion of dread just by the sight of it.

If he were to step into the Hong Ze Domain, he probably would have collapsed on the spot and could only crawl slowly, just as he did when he fled the Hong Ze Domain, which took a very long time.

If not for the overwhelming fear and the lengthy time it took to escape, his injuries wouldn't have been so severe.

Xu Yan and his martial arts brothers slowly approached the Hong Ze Domain. Although no danger was detected, they didn't dare to be careless.

"The Hong Ze Domain has become desolate; the Domain seems to be shrouded in an ominous aura, or perhaps the notion of death. Be careful, there might be some unknown dangers,"

Xu Yan used a sound transmission to communicate with the three others.

"In this part of the Hong Ze Domain, not even a True Spirit can be found. Either the desolation of the Hong Ze Domain has scared them away from this region, or there's a powerful True Spirit lurking within the Hong Ze Domain,"

Jiang Buping said gravely.

"We can't rule out that possibility. With my Minor Heavenly Eye, I can't peer into the entire Domain. If something's lurking deep underground, it would go undetected,"

Xu Yan nodded and replied.

The four martial arts brothers hid their presences and quietly neared the Hong Ze Domain. The closer they got, the more they felt a dark, gloomy aura assaulting them.

This sensation of desolation and silence seemed to subtly impact their minds.

"If other Supreme Sovereign Realm Warriors were to enter, it probably wouldn't take long before they would be affected and start experiencing issues with their mind,"

Meng Chong said seriously.

"The desolate Domain, after all, is the first—so far, the first. What could happen here remains unknown; it's even possible for something strange to emerge,"

Fang Hao continued with annoyance, "Had I known, I would have consulted our master before coming out."

"The unknown holds the value of exploration. Master didn't tell us because he naturally wants us to explore on our own,"

Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Big brother is right!"

Fang Hao was momentarily startled, then nodded in sudden realization.

Finally, the martial arts brothers arrived outside the Hong Ze Domain. They didn't immediately enter but silently observed the situation within the Domain.

A normal Domain would have Domain Dao Rules present, forming a Domain Barrier where Spiritual Energy and Imperishable Qi converge, enveloping the Domain like a giant sphere of Spiritual Energy.

The desolate Hong Ze Domain lacked these Dao Principles and Domain Barrier. There was also no sphere of Spiritual Energy wrapped around the Domain.

Although there was no sphere of Spiritual Energy, the Violent Spiritual Energy still surrounded the Domain, as the Imperishable Domain's Violent Spiritual Energy was omnipresent.

Looking down upon the Domain, the land was uneven and especially noticeable were the large depressed areas that seemed to be the territory of the Cang Hai in the Hong Ze Domain.

The Hong Ze Domain was a water Domain, with water occupying more than ninety percent. Slightly sunken areas were once lakes and seas.

The entire Domain was intact, but the ground was covered with mottled cracks and broken peaks, even faint remains of the aftermath of battles could be seen.

The landscape was desolate and silent, devoid of any signs of life.

"Let's go, enter the Domain and experience this desolation. We might also learn about the Domain, or even whether we can bring life back to it. After all, this is a Domain opened by Hong Ze, and we could perhaps comprehend how it's similar or different from our own Domain,"

Xu Yan said in a deep voice.

"Sister is skilled in Alchemical Medical Martial Arts. If anyone has methods to restore life, sister is much more capable. Perhaps we could research how to save this Domain,"

Meng Chong said with a smile.

"With sister's skills, even if reviving the life of the entire Domain is not possible, imbuing a part of the Domain with life, promoting the growth of vegetation, should be achievable,"

Fang Hao affirmed.

As they spoke the four finally stepped onto the land of the Hong Ze Domain, feeling the desolation and stillness. Looking around, they saw no signs of life.

Even the Violent Spiritual Energy that swirled around the Domain seemed to lack Spiritual Charm, feeling more imbued with a notion of death.

The four martial arts brothers walked on the Hong Ze Domain, and although long years had passed, traces of the great battle still remained visible.

Like the shattered boulders, which seemed to originate from a nearby mountain that had collapsed.

"Could this dark aura inside the Hong Ze Domain be related to the resident of the Imperishable Temple?"

Xu Yan suddenly mused.

Taihe and Taikun's injuries were entwined with a gloomy aura. It seemed to carry an ominous sensation.

This aura on the two of them, indeed came from the master of the Imperishable Temple!

According to the Azure Sea Turtle, it was within the Domain that Hong Ze was killed by the master of the Imperishable Temple, who directly devoured him, along with all the life and Spiritual Charm of the entire Domain, leaving nothing behind.
