Chapter 920 904: The "Heaven" of Myriad Worlds (Two Chapters in One)
Purple Gold Mountain.
The temporary office of the Myth Organization, the observation room was empty, void of any signs of battle.
It seemed as if Song Ningran and the others had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
This puzzled Qin Heng greatly.
Earlier, when Qin Heng was checking the central primal energy concentration on Song Ningran, Xue Qinan and the others, he had also used his Divine Sense to probe here without finding anything unusual.
Why did everyone suddenly disappear without a trace?
Qin Heng's Divine Sense expanded, covering hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant, and every movement, even that of an ant, was clearly perceived by him.
However, he still couldn't find any trace of Song Ningran and the rest?
"What's going on?"
Qin Heng frowned deeply, indicating that Song Ningran and the others might no longer be on Earth. It must have happened earlier when he was talking with Qin Yun, that Song Ningran and the others vanished into thin air due to some sudden change.
"The power of the Sword Token I gave Ran Ran hasn't been triggered, meaning she encountered no crisis..." Qin Heng thought to himself, simultaneously letting his Divine Sense penetrate the void, expanding the search not only to the current space but also to the Spirit Realm and searching for space traces in the void.
Song Ningran vanished into thin air; it couldn't be without the slightest trace, especially for Qin Heng, who, with a careful search, would definitely find some clue.
"Found it!" Qin Heng narrowed his eyes and looked upward, discovering a still-fading spatial rift over ten thousand meters high in the sky.
This was the trace of opening a space gate, meaning someone had opened a portal to another world here. Through this spatial rift, Qin Heng sensed the aura of the Sword Token on Song Ningran.
The Sword Token was crafted by Qin Heng himself; to locate it posed no difficulty.
"Nonetheless, that Sword Token was made during my Qi Refinement Realm, and faced with such immense space power, it couldn't automatically counteract or warn, which is why they were taken away without any notice."
Qin Heng decided that after this incident, he would refine these Jade Talismans or Sword Tokens anew. Now that he was at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, having forged a celestial-grade Dao Foundation, his techniques surpassed those from his Qi Refinement years by leaps and bounds.
...
The sky was vast and clouds were sparse, clear blue like a wash.
This was a vast tranquil green, stretching for thousands of miles, a lush flat grassland. Only tens of miles away could mountains be seen, and beyond the mountains lay another scene.
This place was distant from the Central Plains, surrounded by mountains, almost secluded from the mundane world. It could be called an idyllic paradise, as a gentle breeze brushed over the flourishing grasslands, cattle and sheep scattered about.
Toya was seventeen this year, her features delicate, her appearance exceedingly beautiful, with long black hair and emerald green eyes. Just like her name, her tribe said her beauty could illuminate the entire grassland like a radiance.
On the grassland, Toya means radiance. As the sole daughter of Harbala, the lord of the grasslands, she indeed deserved such a name.
No one would object.
Today, the sunlight was clear and bright. Toya, wearing a red dress and a hat with white fur, drove the cattle and sheep to the pastures not far from the royal city for grazing.
Caring for cattle and sheep is something every grassland person should do, a skill one must master. Though of noble status, Toya still adhered to tradition.
She neither carried a whip nor brought any tools for driving and managing the cattle and sheep. She simply walked ahead, naturally leading the thousand cattle and sheep.
To ordinary people, this seemed impossible, since the cattle and sheep of the grasslands weren't tame. In caring for them, whips and other tools were often needed for assistance.
Even the brave warriors dared not lead thousands of cattle and sheep without any tools.
Yet, for Toya, such things were quite ordinary. She was born with a strong sense of perception, able to communicate with nature, including these cattle and sheep.
She could sense the consciousness of the cattle and sheep and let them perceive and follow her will, making them graze and drink water obediently without wandering off.
To many grassland people, this seemed like a miracle. Therefore, Toya was also regarded as blessed by the Eternal Heaven, seen as a manifestation of Eternal Heaven's grace on the grasslands.
Even the High Priest, possessing an extremely special status on the grasslands, held Toya in high esteem, on par with the grassland lord Harbala.
However, Toya herself wasn't fond of such recognition.
She looked at the cattle and sheep grazing peacefully not far away, sighed softly, and her gaze inadvertently turned southward. In the distant horizon, a towering mountain peak rose, piercing the clouds.
This was the Divine Mountain on the grasslands. No one knew how tall it truly was, only that beyond the mountain lay the prosperous Central Plains dynasty.
It was also the most powerful dynasty on this land!
"It's said that the High Priest, in his youth, visited the Central Plains. People there lived in spacious houses, filled with the fragrance of flowers, with little bridges over running streams and bustling markets selling sugar figures. Unlike the grasslands, with only monotonous felt tents, grass, sheep's milk, and roasted meat..."
Toya sat on a stone, gazing at the distant Divine Mountain. Her emerald eyes shone with light, filled with longing. She had always harbored a wish within her heart, to leave the grasslands and journey to the Central Plains, to see with her own eyes that lively spectacle.
