Book of Disaster

Bai Qi sat on the horse without saying a word, but his mind couldn't help but think of the fallen destiny star.

He always felt that this matter was not that simple.

However, what everyone needs least right now is excessive tension, so Bai Qi did not say it.

The four of them hurried on their way, and before they knew it, night had fallen. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling like pearls adorning the deep night sky.

"All troops should speed up and move forward. After an hour, make a fire, cook, and rest."

Bai Qi said loudly.

"Yes, my lord!"

The whole army roared.

The 3,000 soldiers this time were all carefully selected from the Southwest Training Camp. In addition to the 2,000 most outstanding ones, there were more than 800 regular army veterans.

Originally, all of their subordinates were commanded by General Long Wei himself, but this time they were all handed over to Bai Qi for deployment.

Soon, a dense forest appeared ahead. Bai Qi took the lead and rushed to the front, while everyone followed silently.

However, just as I turned a corner and prepared to come out of the forest—

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me.

Everything around him was normal, there was nothing, but Bai Qi clearly found that the vital energy in his body seemed to be disturbed by some external force, causing fluctuations and disorder.

"Ok?"

Bai Qi's eyelids twitched and he immediately became alert. The next moment, with a flash of cold light, ten Taibai heavy swords flew out automatically, spread out, and hovered above his head to observe the movements around him.

"Hey, Bai Qi, what are you doing... Oh, it's so strange, why do I feel something is wrong?"

Everyone was a little surprised by Bai Qi's behavior at first, but they soon realized something was wrong.

"Yan!"

The heavy sword roared like a dragon and shot out, and soon they made a discovery: just behind the forest, the ground suddenly became flat, and at the same time a mysterious relic came into their sight.

This is a ruin, eroded by the wind and sand over the years and is no longer recognizable, but some broken walls can still be seen.

But what really attracted Bai Qi was something else.

——A huge hole on the ground with a radius of hundreds of miles.

The force that interfered with the flow of vital energy in Bai Qi's body came from here.

"what is this?"

Bai Qi quickly dismounted and walked over.

Others followed suit and also noticed this unique huge pit.

The closer he got, the more Bai Qi felt the powerful interfering force.

In this huge pit, Bai Qi felt a huge high-level energy, the level of which was above his current level.

"It's the fall of the Martial Saint!"

At this moment, Xu Xuansu rode over from behind. She blinked and also looked at the huge pit.

"Is it the destiny star we saw before?"

Bai Qi frowned and said subconsciously.

"I do not think so."

Xu Xuansu shook his head:

"This pit has been there for a long time. It is not something that was just left now. I heard about it when I was in the capital. More than ten years ago, when there was a large-scale war between the Yuan Dynasty and Dayu, many martial saints died. Their life stars fell into the mountains, and some fell into villages and towns, causing huge explosions. Among them, there is a ruin that is the largest, known as the Cave of the Three Saints. It seems to be here."

Xu Xuansu looked around and said, this was also her first time here.

"More than ten years? After so many years, is there still such a strong energy left?"

Bai Qi said in a deep voice.

"Ordinary Martial Saints can't do it, and not all Martial Saints can do it. It is said that these were the three senior and powerful Martial Saints of Dayu Kingdom who were killed by the Crown Prince's Guard."

Xu Xuansu paused, revealing a look of reminiscence:

"Once a warrior possesses a life star and achieves the status of a martial saint, their energy level and life level are no longer the same as ours. Especially for the life star, these energies should be the remnants of the life star."

The question and answer between the two quickly attracted the interest of other soldiers, including Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian, who all dismounted and arrived at the edge of the huge pit.

The inside of the pit was a mess, but its edges were smooth and its depth was at least forty or fifty meters.

"Let's spend the night here tonight."

Bai Qi suddenly said.

"Alright."

Xu Xuansu also nodded in approval:

"In fact, for ordinary warriors like us, this kind of Martial Saint ruins is a rare opportunity. It is said that many warriors and quasi-saints came here specially to feel the energy they left in the void, hoping to learn the method of becoming a Martial Saint from them."

"Of course, this is futile. I've said before that everyone has a different way of becoming a Martial Saint. The three Martial Saints represent three different methods... However, this is still a valuable experience."

"Then I'll study it carefully."

Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian also became interested.

Zhang Chi was still standing on the edge of the pit watching, but Zhou Yixian had already jumped in.

Everyone quickly set up camp here, and in just a few moments, many bonfires were lit here.

Naturally, there were cooks in the army who were responsible for food, and Bai Qi and Xu Xuansu all entered the Cave of the Three Saints.

However, apart from this huge pit, nothing else could be seen in the entire area, not even any signs of a battle. A group of people studied here for a long time but could not figure out what was going on.

"Sir, Miss Xu... the remnants of this place, including what you feel, should be the remaining power of the Holy Land."

At this moment, Zhou Ning on the side suddenly spoke hesitantly, and the last sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Ning was General Long Wei's confidant and also a captain in the regular army, but even so, General Long Wei still transferred him to Bai Qi for dispatch.

"General Zhou, do you know this place?"

Bai Qi said in surprise.

"Haha, I've been here with the general before, and I've been stationed in Xi'an for so long, how could I not know this place?"

"When the war broke out, the general and I were not stationed here, but we came here afterward because we were attracted by its reputation. The interference force was stronger than it is now. In addition, the general also wanted to learn the secret of the Martial Saint through this place."

"But later I heard from the general that what is left here should be the power of the Holy Land, not just the life star."

Zhou Ning said.

"What is the sanctuary?"

Bai Qidao asked a question that expressed the curiosity in everyone's heart.

"I don't know either, but the Holy Domain is a unique ability of the Martial Saint. Within the scope of the Holy Domain, the Martial Saint is almost omnipotent, and all his abilities are greatly enhanced. People below the Martial Saint level absolutely cannot understand it."

"I heard my mother talk about it."

At this moment, Xu Xuansu spoke:

“My mother made me feel that, too.”

When they heard that the matter was related to the Yuan Dynasty's female war goddess Xu Xuanji, everyone showed a look of concern.
