Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Izumo Empire

He brought the three of them into his Small World.

"Wow, where is this? It's so beautiful."

The three of them only felt their vision go dark, and then they found themselves in an unfamiliar place, which startled them.

"This is my Small World."

It's name Eternal Heaven World

"What? You can create a world now? Isn't that something only a Dou Saint can do?" Hai Bodong exclaimed.

"I don't know what happened either. It just suddenly appeared when I broke through to Five-star Dou Ling."

Xiao Jietian explained casually, making things up.

"You're not really what they say, some illegitimate child of the heavens, are you?"

Hai Bodong kept scrutinizing Xiao Jietian, trying to find a difference.

"Ahem, maybe. Let's go, let's first look at this world."

Xiao Jietian felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at. After all, who could stand being looked at so intensely by a man? He changed the subject.

The entire Small World had mountains, rivers, lakes, land, and oceans, all complete. There was no difference from the outside world; the only difference was that its current area wasn't very large.

Xiao Jietian led the three of them to a complex of palaces built against a mountain.

Numerous palaces were scattered elegantly on the mountainside, and at the very top, a massive palace stood.

"Elder Hai, you can freely find a place to stay," Xiao Jietian said, pointing to the palaces on the mountainside.

Xiao Jietian continued towards the palace at the very top, taking Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor with him.

Moreover, the entire mountaintop was a no-fly zone. Except for those with permission, no one else could fly or use spatial teleportation.

This massive palace was for entertaining guests and other purposes.

After passing through the main hall, there was a lake. Several luxurious palaces were built around the lake, with pavilions and terraces, everything one could wish for. In the center of the lake was a pavilion.

Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin looked around curiously.

"This is where we'll live from now on. Each of you can pick a palace."

Xiao Jietian said with a smile from the side.

All the luxurious palaces around the lake, except for Xiao Jietian's, were of the same size, equipped with sleeping quarters, training rooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and so on.

Xiao Jietian sat in the lakeside pavilion, drinking tea and watching the two, hand in hand, touching this and looking at that, a smile gracing his lips.

Xiao Jietian's figure gradually faded, reappearing a hundred meters away. After a few shifts, he was gone.

"Elder Hai, do you know the exact coordinates of the Izumo Empire?"

Xiao Jietian appeared inside the palace Elder Hai had chosen.

"I do know the location of the Izumo Empire. Are you going there for your little girlfriend? The journey is quite long."

Elder Hai asked, puzzled.

"It's fine. As long as I have the coordinates, I have ways to get there quickly."

Elder Hai briefly told Xiao Jietian the approximate coordinates.

Xiao Jietian instantly reappeared in the outside world, took out a teleportation gate, and filled in the coordinates through his mind.

The teleportation gate glowed brightly, and a black hole-like vortex appeared. Xiao Jietian stepped inside.

In a certain deep forest in Poison Spirit City of the Izumo Empire, a black door appeared, and a handsome, ethereal man in brocade robes stepped out.

"Is this the Izumo Empire? As expected of a country where everyone practices poison. I feel like poison is everywhere."

Xiao Jietian stood on the ground, exclaiming in wonder.

He then vanished from his spot and reappeared by the lake in the Small World.

"Young Master, where did you go? We searched everywhere just now and couldn't find you."

Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor had chosen two adjacent palaces and then couldn't find Xiao Jietian.

"I went out to take care of something. Have you both chosen your palaces?"

Xiao Jietian appeared in the pavilion, asking with a smile.

"Yes, yes! Qing Lin and Sister Little Fairy Doctor have never seen such luxurious palaces, let alone lived in one. Thank you, Young Master."

Thinking of the luxurious rooms, Qing Lin couldn't help but show a sweet smile.

Little Fairy Doctor also nodded in agreement from the side. The shrunken Xiao Lan also flew around in the pavilion, showing her approval.

"Since you've both chosen, let's find Elder Hai, and then we'll set off on our journey."

Xiao Jietian directly picked up both of them and used his Thunder Roc Wings to arrive outside Hai Bodong's palace.

Hai Bodong had already sensed Xiao Jietian and the others approaching and was waiting at the door.

After a simple greeting, the four of them instantly appeared in the outside world.

"Is this the Izumo Empire?"

Hai Bodong asked, seeing the name of the city in front of them and feeling the different world energy through the vast distance.

Xiao Jietian nodded.

"Ah, weren't we in Stone Desert City? How did we suddenly appear here? Did we come out to a random place?"

Qing Lin asked with wide eyes. She remembered being in Stone Desert City when she went in, and now she was in a neighboring empire when she came out.

Upon hearing that this was the Izumo Empire, Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Jietian with a knowing gaze, the affection in her eyes almost overflowing.

"No, I used a little trick to get us here."

Xiao Jietian didn't explain too explicitly.

"Let's go into the city first and take a look."

Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin both put on veils to cover their faces.

This was a city called Poison Spirit City. Because the people here were all poison cultivators, most of them had gray or grayish-green complexions.

Even their blood wasn't red; Little Fairy Doctor's blood was also purple, which was a mark of the Calamity Poison Body.

The Izumo Empire was comparable to a small Black-Corner Region. Most of the people in the Izumo Empire were quite abnormal because poison masters cultivated with poisons, which usually corroded their brains, making them abnormal, bloodthirsty, and violent.

Little Fairy Doctor would also become like this; if the Calamity Poison Body wasn't controlled in its later stages, it would easily lead to a loss of sanity.

Although Xiao Jietian and the others looked like aliens here, they didn't attract too much attention, as many people from other countries also came to the Izumo Empire for trade.

Qing Lin looked at the strange appearance of the Izumo Empire's natives, her small hand tightly gripping Xiao Jietian's clothes.

On the streets and in the shops of Poison Spirit City, mostly poison-related herbs and items were sold.

Although the gazes of the people on the road were drawn to the figures of Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, sensing the terrifying aura from Hai Bodong, no one was so foolish as to come looking for trouble.

Xiao Jietian walked down the street with the three of them, searching for a medicinal herb shop in the city, looking for any valuable poison-related herbs.

It must be said that the Izumo Empire truly lived up to its name as an empire where everyone practiced poison. The variety of poison-related herbs here was incredibly complete, but the prices were on the higher side. Xiao Jietian had already spent almost 100,000 gold just buying poison herbs.

After visiting all the medicinal herb shops in the entire Poison Spirit City, it was already dusk. After the entire city darkened, most of the houses in the city lit up with green or red lights, looking eerie and chilling, like a ghost town.

Xiao Jietian couldn't help but sigh, people who played with poison really had peculiar aesthetics.

"Young Master, this... this city is so eerie and chilling."

Qing Lin weakly clutched Xiao Jietian's clothes, her eyes cautiously scanning her surroundings, fearing that something strange might suddenly appear from somewhere.

"Qing Lin, it looks like there's something by your feet."

Xiao Jietian suddenly pointed at Qing Lin's feet, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Ah~"
