Chapter 10 The Territory's Interior

Beihe Boat Master had interacted with Xu Jingming for a long time and had observed Xu Jingming's past and future. He was very certain of Xu Jingming's character! He knew that, at a critical moment, he could entrust his life to Xu Jingming!

"Brother Wu Ming, thankfully you came, otherwise I would have had to flee in a sorry state." Beihe Boat Master proactively moved closer.

"This continent is fraught with dangers. I'm already very impressed that you've managed to survive alone until now," Xu Jingming said with a smile. Back when they were all scattered in the temporal turbulence, Xu Jingming was quite worried about Beihe.

In terms of strength, the other friends were quite strong. Even the weaker Island Lord Dilong had many treasures, so he definitely had many ways to protect himself. Only Beihe Boat Master, who was both weak and without treasures, was Xu Jingming's greatest worry.

Who would have thought that this Beihe would actually be able to survive on this continent for more than a month?

"Luck, pure luck," Beihe Boat Master said with a smile. "As soon as I descended onto this continent, I obtained a strange object by chance, so my ability to escape greatly increased."

Xu Jingming nodded and glanced at the black figure that had stopped in the distance. He said in surprise, "Lord Fu Ang, now that I'm here, you're still not leaving? Do you still want to deal with Beihe right under my nose?"

The black figure, 'Lord Fu Ang,' was indeed filled with anger. After all, he had chased Beihe Boat Master for three full days on this dangerous continent, clearly willing to pay any price to obtain that Primordial Divine Stone. Now that Xu Jingming had arrived, his hopes were about to be shattered.

"Wu Ming!" Lord Fu Ang said coldly, "It is said that in the future, you will definitely become an invincible existence in the half-step Third Realm. When I was in Featherfire City, I gave you a lot of face. But today… I will definitely kill this Beihe!"

"Oh?" Xu Jingming looked at him.

"Brother Wu Ming, he looks down on you!" Beihe Boat Master immediately said, "You're clearly going to protect me, yet he still wants to kill me, not giving you any face at all. I think, to be cautious, you should first take me into your spatial treasure, so you don't accidentally injure me when you fight."

Lord Fu Ang was immediately furious.

"That makes sense," Xu Jingming agreed with a nod. With a wave of his hand, he took Beihe Boat Master into his personal universe. Beihe Boat Master did not resist.

Inside the personal universe.

As soon as Beihe Boat Master appeared, he stared blankly at the dense crowd of Xu Jingming in the starry sky.

"So many Wu Ming?" Beihe Boat Master muttered to himself, "More than six hundred avatars?"

"As you know, we of the Heart Realm lineage don't have much else, but we do have many avatars." The numerous Xu Jingmings all looked at Beihe Boat Master. He was even leisurely absorbing energy to continue dividing into new avatars.

The main reason was that avatars at the half-step Third Realm level required a huge amount of energy. Without causing too much commotion, the speed of dividing into 'avatars' was slower.

"You're amazing," Beihe Boat Master said. "By the way, there really are many treasures in the interior region of this continent."

"Don't rush, I'll deal with Lord Fu Ang first, and then we'll chat slowly," Xu Jingming said. At this moment, all his mental consciousness had to go all out to deal with that Lord Fu Ang.

…

Lord Fu Ang was going crazy. He stared at Xu Jingming, "Wu Ming, I've always given you face in the past! But you haven't given me any face at all! Yes, you will be more powerful than me in the future. But right now… I'm stronger than you!"

"Die!" As long as Lord Fu Ang thought of that huge Primordial Divine Stone, his desire to kill became extremely intense.

He could endure in the past.

But he couldn't endure now!

Even if Xu Jingming became invincible in the half-step Third Realm in the future, so what? He had the ability to protect himself in front of an invincible existence in the half-step Third Realm! If he obtained the Primordial Divine Stone, he believed his strength and methods could increase even further.

"Roar~~"

Lord Fu Ang transformed into a black wind, and the black wind roared as it enveloped him.

Xu Jingming stood in place and instantly divided into four figures. Three of the figures held Heart Realm spears, and one figure was using the Void Abyss Illusion. The four avatars attacked at the same time.

"Hmph." Lord Fu Ang was not afraid. The black wind continued to howl, forcibly withstanding the Void Abyss Illusion. The Void Abyss Illusion failed to trap his mental consciousness, but three black rays of light pierced through the black wind.

The black rays of light spread rapidly, and the three black rays of light spread into a darkness, causing Lord Fu Ang to groan in pain.

However, the black wind he had transformed into also corroded the bodies of Xu Jingming's four avatars, causing a large number of wounds to appear on the surface of the four avatars, as if they were sieves. Clearly, they had been injured.

"Your strength has increased?" Lord Fu Ang was extremely shocked. "Your Heart Realm weapon can actually hurt me?"

Lord Fu Ang asked himself, he was very powerful in terms of mental consciousness.

He had resisted the abyss's erosion time and time again!

Although he was a Deep Abyss Lord, he still maintained enough clarity and was even very cautious, never going crazy or losing control! Even though his strength was already very strong, he still wanted to befriend Xu Jingming in the past.

Only this time! Faced with that huge Primordial Divine Stone, which could be called the greatest treasure he had ever encountered in his life, he had gone crazy.

"Lord Fu Ang, impressive." The four Xu Jingmings praised, and in an instant, the four injured avatars returned to the personal universe, and four new, intact avatars appeared.

This scene caused Lord Fu Ang's expression to change slightly.

"So many avatars." Lord Fu Ang knew very well, never compare avatars with those of the Heart Realm lineage!

"I really didn't expect that in such a short time, your strength has become no less than mine." Lord Fu Ang nodded. "The power of your Heart Realm weapon is indeed great. But I'll give you a piece of advice, your avatars are numerous, but they are too fragile! If you encounter a Deep Abyss Monarch, if you encounter an invincible existence in the half-step Third Realm… I'm afraid that your avatars will be annihilated in one exchange. No matter how many avatars you have, you will eventually die."

"Thank you for your advice," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Hmph." Lord Fu Ang transformed into a black afterimage and quickly moved away.

Lord Fu Ang, who had left, felt very angry and helpless in his heart.

"That Primordial Divine Stone, I saw it with my own eyes, but Beihe Boat Master snatched it away first." Lord Fu Ang was grief-stricken and helpless. "And this Wu Ming's strength is even stronger than I expected. He injured me in the initial exchange… If I really drag it out, I might be able to exhaust dozens of his avatars, but I will eventually die."

He knew very well that dozens of avatars were really nothing to the Heart Realm lineage.

"Go to the interior region one more time."

Lord Fu Ang gritted his teeth. "Although it's very risky, exploring the treasure land left behind by an ultimate existence may only happen once in a lifetime!"

He rushed towards the interior region again.

…

After Lord Fu Ang left, Xu Jingming released Beihe Boat Master.

"Lord Fu Ang is gone?" Beihe Boat Master looked around.

"Yes, he gave up," Xu Jingming nodded.

"Lord Fu Ang is one of the strongest experts closest to being invincible in the half-step Third Realm. His strength is much stronger than Realm Lord Ancient Tree. You were actually able to make him give up?" Beihe Boat Master exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Jingming smiled, "Alright, quickly tell me about the interior region."

Beihe Boat Master nodded, "Back then, we were all scattered due to the temporal turbulence, and I also descended onto this continent alone."

Xu Jingming nodded and listened, he was the same.

"When I descended, I saw a wide river." Beihe Boat Master explained, "As you know, I was originally a river in a high-dimensional space that gradually developed consciousness, and that's how I evolved to this day. I sensed the attraction of this river to me, so I directly merged into it."

Xu Jingming nodded. The other party was originally a mysterious river in a high-dimensional space, so naturally he had his own specialties.

"After merging into the river, I sensed a higher direction for the evolution of life." Beihe Boat Master exclaimed, "At least the river on this continent is essentially more powerful than me. I immersed myself in feeling this river… but suddenly I sensed a special aura in the river, so I immediately approached it and obtained a strange object."

Beihe Boat Master said with a smile, "With that strange object, my ability to escape and protect myself in the river greatly increased! During this time, I was attacked by native creatures, and I also encountered the pursuit of those in the half-step Third Realm, but I got rid of them all one by one."

"So that's how it is," Xu Jingming understood. He had been curious before, Beihe Boat Master's strength was so weak that a slightly stronger native creature could kill him. How had he survived for so long?

"I kept moving forward along the river, and I was quite fast. Later, I discovered that the end of the river was a vast mountain range." Beihe Boat Master said, "That mountain range should be considered the interior region."

"Mountain range?" Xu Jingming nodded. He hadn't encountered a mountain range in such a long time.

"After entering the mountain range, I continued to move cautiously along the river. Suddenly, I discovered a super-giant Primordial Divine Stone." Beihe Boat Master exclaimed, "I was stunned at the time. I never thought there would be such a large Primordial Divine Stone."

"How big?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Bigger than my body," Beihe Boat Master said.

Xu Jingming was also stunned, "So big, how much is it worth? Ten thousand drops of Deep Abyss Motherblood?"

"Not too far off! Even if it's not ten thousand drops of Deep Abyss Motherblood, it's still several thousand," Beihe Boat Master exclaimed, "My accumulation from my entire life before this was only over a hundred drops of Deep Abyss Motherblood. Of course I went crazy this time, and I risked my life! Who would have thought that I would easily snatch the Primordial Divine Stone without encountering any danger? But that Lord Fu Ang was one step late, and when he saw me take the Primordial Divine Stone, he chased me like crazy for three full days!"

Xu Jingming understood.

"By the way, during the three days of running away, I fled in a panic and also escaped to other branches of the river," Beihe Boat Master said, "During the escape, I saw a mountain peak from afar, a mountain peak made entirely of primordial gold!"

"A mountain peak made of primordial gold?" Xu Jingming was also a little dumbfounded.

Primordial gold mines only have primordial gold beads to be mined, right? A fist-sized piece of primordial gold would already be considered good.

A mountain peak of primordial gold? How much would it be worth?

Xu Jingming couldn't imagine it! But it was certain that it was even more terrifying in value than that Primordial Divine Stone.

"There was a chaotic battle there, it should have been some experts there," Beihe Boat Master said, "After all, a mountain peak can be seen from a long distance! So many experts were fighting over it. I didn't dare to get close! If I encountered an invincible existence in the half-step Third Realm, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape."

"I just wandered around inside and then escaped, I didn't explore it carefully," Beihe Boat Master said, "I just discovered a huge Primordial Divine Stone and a primordial gold mountain peak one after another! How many more treasures are there in that interior region? I don't even dare to think about it."

"Draw a map for me," Xu Jingming immediately urged.

"What for?" Beihe Boat Master was stunned.

"I'll arrange for avatars to take you to the outer area," Xu Jingming said, "What, do you have the guts to continue going into the interior region?"

"No, no." Beihe Boat Master understood. With a wave of his hand, an invisible force constructed a map in mid-air, using the nearby river as a reference point, making it easy to understand the terrain distribution. "Brother Wu Ming, you have to be careful when you go in. By the way, how many avatars will you arrange to protect me? As long as you can protect me and help me leave with the treasures, I'll split half of the treasures I obtained this time with you!"

"Don't worry! I won't split your treasures," Xu Jingming shook his head. He had his own rules of conduct.

"You don't want them?" Although Beihe Boat Master had long known Xu Jingming's character, he was still moved and admired that Xu Jingming was so decisive even after he had mentioned these treasures.

"I'll send a hundred avatars to take you to the outer area," Xu Jingming said.

The avatars in the outer region were also there to kill more native creatures, so that he could accumulate those mysterious symbols.

Treasures were attractive, but Xu Jingming felt that the mysterious symbols were also very important.

"I can just hide in that personal universe. I'm already very satisfied with this exploration of the ultimate existence's region, I'm not greedy at all," Beihe Boat Master said with a smile.

"Even if you don't hide, I have to make you hide! You're just holding me back outside," Xu Jingming waved his hand and took him away.

Xu Jingming looked up into the distance.

"Interior region?"

Xu Jingming's body divided. One avatar continued to stay in place, and another avatar had already transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the interior region.
