The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? Look at this place, could I come here casually? I swear, this is really my first time here."

As Zhou Qing spoke, he quickly scanned the surrounding volcanic environment that resembled purgatory and emphasized it again.

Because it was indeed his first time entering this place.

After entering, it was purely a physical stress response, mainly because that Corpse Wax Crow had swooped past his head multiple times with its black feathers, nearly giving him a psychological shadow.

Second Uncle listened to Zhou Qing's explanation and nodded slightly.

Indeed, just relying on this kid to get in here? It's simply a fantasy.

Duanmu Shu and the others still hadn't got the hang of it yet, needing to use Dead Crows to temporarily conceal their Yang Fire to reach the other side of the shore.

Nowadays, they almost invariably relied on brute force, racing against time to move downstream along the Blood River, single-mindedly trying to find some treasure inside.

Because of this, they almost always came back heavily injured. Each and every one of them was too stubborn, not flexible or adaptable in their minds.

How does that saying go—if bitten by a snake, within a hundred steps there is an antidote. There were clearly so many Dead Crows in the Blood River, yet they couldn't see them. It's really unbelievable.

"Previously, I was trapped in this ghost place for years. Fortunately, fortune favors the bold, and I finally managed to escape!"

Second Uncle gazed at the familiar surroundings, took a deep breath, and his face was full of emotion.

Zhou Qing also slowly looked around, and finally, his gaze rested on the enormous corpse in the distance.

From this ground perspective, that skeleton seemed even more massive than when he viewed it from above, with just one bone alone stretching tens of meters long.

This made him click his tongue in astonishment. He couldn't imagine how huge this demon beast must have been alive, and how strong it must have been?

"That's the skeleton of a crow with Golden Crow blood!" Seeing Zhou Qing stare directly at the giant skeleton in the distance, Second Uncle slowly said.

On hearing this, Zhou Qing's face was instantly shocked. He blurted out, "A Three-legged Golden Crow?"

Second Uncle nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it's indeed a Three-legged Golden Crow. According to legend, in a certain Sixth-level Cultivation Country, their national bird is an actual Three-legged Golden Crow."

Zhou Qing's face grew even more terrified. They scarcely had any opportunities to learn about Fifth-level Cultivation Countries, let alone the more mysterious and powerful Sixth-level ones.

The secrets hidden within this Taiqing Sect Pocket World seemed a bit too astonishing, didn't they? And this was just one of the coffins.

"Zhou, this world is vast and boundless, far beyond your imagination. What you've encountered so far isn't even the tip of the iceberg."

"Therefore, you must work hard. Only by becoming strong enough and standing at a higher position will you have the chance to see the magnificent scenery in the distance!"

Second Uncle suddenly reached out and gave Zhou Qing a heavy pat on the shoulder, earnestly advising him.

Zhou Qing silently nodded, filled with emotion.

Take the Holy Martial Dynasty, for example. It governs the Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions, and the farthest he has ever been is Lingyun Mansion.

The rest of the time, he basically roamed around the Five Great Sects, not even visiting a quarter of Lingyun Mansion, let alone other places.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Zhou Qing had some realization, Second Uncle did not say more and merely led Zhou Qing forward.

They had not walked far when Zhou Qing finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Aren't we going to check out that crow skeleton?"

"I have been trapped in this place for so many years and have already seen everything worth seeing. There's nothing new there." Second Uncle said without turning his head.

But Zhou Qing was still a bit unwilling, lest we forget, today's "Daily Reflection" had not yet been used.

As if guessing Zhou Qing's thoughts, Second Uncle immediately said, "Don't be fooled by the size of that crow skeleton. In reality, all its divinity has long since dissipated, and now it's just an ordinary bone. So, don't waste your thoughts on it."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing reluctantly gave up the idea and continued following Second Uncle forward.

"What about other places? This place around here is all in ruins, are there no remnants of palaces or buildings?" Zhou Qing asked, filled with anticipation, while scrutinizing the ruin-filled surroundings.

Second Uncle shook his head lightly and replied, "They exist, but I've pretty much explored them all. The good stuff has long been collected by me, and now there's only one last place left."

"Have you visited the other five stone coffins?" Zhou Qing asked with a look of disappointment, persistently questioning.

Second Uncle had to stop walking and said, "I like to finish exploring one place before moving on to the next."

"That sounds a bit like OCD, but Uncle, why didn't you start from the first coffin?"

"That's because my lucky number is three."

"So that's the reason. But after being trapped here for so many years, have you ever thought about changing your number?"

"If you say one more word, believe it or not, I'll leave you here to experience the feeling of being trapped."
