Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 137: Don't Go Out When It's Dark, the Terrifying Sky Curtain in the Wilderness! (Please vote for this chapter!)

However, Chen Chang'an soon realized that he was overthinking.

This should be the unique way of dressing for Mao Ruxue's family.

It makes sense. After all, he is a member of the royal family, so there's nothing strange about having such etiquette and posture.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

At this moment, Chen Chang'an saw Mao Ruxue walking towards him, gracefully bowing to him.

At this moment, Mao Ruxue appeared like a refined lady with a literary aura, every frown and smile exuding elegance.

"Junior Sister, is that you?"

Seeing Mao Ruxue like this, Chen Chang'an almost spit out the lunch he had just eaten.

It's because the contrast is too great. Mao Ruxue, who is usually on the mountain, is not like this.

She usually tells dirty jokes and acts more straightforwardly.

But here, she has become obedient, which is really unexpected.

"Junior Sister, your outfit is quite unique," Chen Chang'an said.

"Wuwu~!"

However, in response to Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue shook her head and made a whimpering sound.

Then, Mao Ruxue pleaded with her eyes and said, "Senior Brother, can you please not expose me later?"

Expose?

Hearing Mao Ruxue's words, Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned.

In the next moment, he suddenly understood something.

"Alright," Chen Chang'an said.

"Wuwu, I knew Senior Brother is the best," Mao Ruxue squeezed out two tears from the corner of her eyes, then led Chen Chang'an to sit down beside her.

This girl.

Seeing this, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, he finally understood why Mao Ruxue panicked when she heard that he was coming with them on the flying boat earlier.

So it's because of this emotional reason.

But to be honest, this girl looks pretty in this outfit.

Her chest is round and white, her skin is like jade, and when paired with the red palace dress, she looks like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Truly, every frown and smile, without the need for makeup.

Unfortunately, she is his junior sister.

Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, Mao Ruxue also noticed that Chen Chang'an was looking at her, and it seemed like his gaze was fixed on her chest. Her face turned slightly red as she asked.

Oh, she can blush too?

Damn, tsk tsk tsk!

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an was a little confused. He even suspected that Mao Ruxue had been replaced.

After all, this girl dared to openly say that she would use her hands on him!

"Junior Sister, then what do you think I'm looking at?"

"Isn't it that, that... Wuwu, Senior Brother, you're bullying me again!" Mao Ruxue was on the verge of tears. If it weren't for coming home, she would never wear this outfit.

That area was already big, and then it was white and plump. Coupled with this outfit, it was simply tempting.

Even she couldn't help but want to take a bite, let alone a normal man like her senior brother.

The following conversation proceeded as usual, with Chen Chang'an and Mao's parents responding fluently. Overall, they had a pleasant conversation.

During the banquet, Chen Chang'an did not expose Mao Ruxue. On the contrary, he cooperated with her acting, giving Mao's parents the impression that their daughter was still as gentle, knowledgeable, and elegant as ever.

Of course, Chen Chang'an understood that Mao Ruxue indeed possessed these qualities.

Growing up in such a family, it would be impossible not to be influenced. It's just that she didn't want to express herself in this way, that's all.

After a simple explanation of the purpose of their trip, Chen Chang'an bid farewell to the elderly couple and mentioned that there were two disciples waiting for them outside, so they exchanged pleasantries and left.

Upon hearing this, Mao's parents did not try to keep them. They just sighed repeatedly and expressed their desire for Chen Chang'an to come back and stay here properly next time.

Chen Chang'an expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and then the two of them left.

After the two left, in the Mao family mansion, the family began a joyful conversation.

"Uncle Er, you see, I told you Ruxue would be fine. Do you believe me now?" Mao Huang said to Mao Fu.

"Xiaoyuan, I know, but I can't feel at ease until I see Ruxue return," Mao Fu said.

"Now it's good. Not only has that girl returned, but she has also found a powerful master. Now I don't have to worry about her anymore," Mao Huang nodded and congratulated.

"Uncle Er, yes, not only has Ruxue returned, but she has also found a particularly powerful master. Her future will be bright," Mao Huang said.

"Yes, this is the best outcome," Mao Fu said, relieved. Over the years, they couldn't help but worry about Mao Ruxue not returning home. Now that everything has settled, they can finally feel at ease.

"By the way, Uncle Er, there's something I'm not sure if I should mention," suddenly, Mao Huang thought of something and said to Mao Fu.

"Xiaoyuan, you can tell me," Mao Fu became curious.

Mao Huang thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Er, have you noticed that Ruxue's senior brother she brought back seems familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere."

He added, "And it wasn't long ago, it was very recent."

Where could they have seen him before? And it was recent?

Hearing Mao Huang's words, Mao Fu became puzzled. He rubbed his chin and started to ponder.

Not for anything else, but after hearing Mao Huang's words, he also had a feeling of familiarity with that immortal elder.

Where could it be?

Mao Fu carefully recalled.

A person as refined and elegant as Ruxue's senior brother, someone who stands out, should leave a deep impression after just one meeting. Why can't he remember?

Right!

Refined and elegant, someone who stands out?!

Suddenly, Mao Fu seemed to have thought of something. He looked up in surprise at Mao Huang.

"Xiaoyuan, could it be him?"

"Uncle Er, could it be him?"

Miraculously, after Mao Fu made this guess, Mao Huang also thought of the same thing.

Then, the two looked at each other and could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

As a major secular dynasty, the Qingyuan Dynasty naturally had a Confucian temple. Mao Fu and Mao Huang, as members of the royal family, had seen his honor when Chen Chang'an manifested his true form in the entire Formless World.

This was the reason why they felt a sense of familiarity.

"It shouldn't be. Maybe they just look alike," Mao Fu said to Mao Huang after thinking for a moment.

After all, this matter was too incredible.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

Then, Mao Fu sighed and said, "Ruxue has always wanted to join the Immortal Gate. Now she has finally achieved her wish. This is a good thing."

"That girl, she has finally grown up."

"Master, you're back." When Chen Chang'an and Mao Ruxue came out of the Mao family, Chen Yi and Lin Qingxue were already waiting there.

Seeing them return, they immediately approached.

"Yes, we're back," Chen Chang'an nodded.

"Did you buy everything?"

"In response to Master's question, we have bought everything," Lin Qingxue replied.

Then, she took out a bag of things from her pocket and handed it to Chen Chang'an, saying, "Master, I heard that you like drinking tea the most. This is something we came across while shopping."

"It is said to be the best tea in this area."

"I thought since you like drinking tea, I bought some. I hope you like it, Master."

Chen Chang'an took a look and found that they were all top-grade tea leaves, and judging from the appearance, they should be the same kind as the Clear Source Tea that Mao Fu took out at Mao Ruxue's house.

Indeed, she was a little rich woman in the secular world, and this disciple of hers had some tricks up her sleeve.

Chen Chang'an understood that Clear Source Tea was a famous tea, and its preciousness goes without saying.

Such tea could probably only be supplied in limited quantities to the local royal family. It was quite impressive for someone like Lin Qingxue, an outsider, to be able to get so much.

"Well, then I'll accept it, with gratitude." Chen Chang'an did not refuse and reached out to take the tea leaves.

Although ordinary tea is not a spiritual or immortal tea, lacking spiritual or immortal energy, it is still tea.

As long as it is tea, it has its own unique qualities.

In fact, disregarding its effects, many counterfeit products can even surpass those spiritual or immortal teas in terms of taste.

Chen Chang'an enjoys drinking tea, and what he likes is simply the essence of tea itself, not the distinction between spiritual and ordinary.

So, in other words, he really likes this gift.

This girl didn't give it to him for nothing.

Chen Chang'an smiled slightly and glanced at Lin Qingxue.

"Hehe, Master, as long as you like it." Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's praise, Lin Qingxue giggled.

Since being taken up the mountain by Chen Chang'an, Lin Qingxue gradually regained some of her girlishness. As a result, her tone of speech with Chen Chang'an became more intimate and friendly.

"Then let's go, it's getting late."

After accepting the tea leaves, Chen Chang'an glanced at the sky, then said to the others.

"Okay, Master."

"Yes, Master."

"Alright, Senior Brother."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, the three of them nodded, and Mao Ruxue released the flying boat.

The flying boat stood still in the middle of the street, quickly growing to the size of a large villa. The group did not linger for long and boarded the boat as soon as it took shape, flying away.

Fortunately, although there is a distinction between the immortal and the ordinary in this world, most people have basically seen cultivators, and there are even cultivators who occasionally reside in these cities.

Therefore, the appearance of the flying boat did not cause any great panic among the people present, which saved them a lot of trouble.

On the flying boat, as they watched Qingyuan City grow farther and farther away, Chen Chang'an asked Mao Ruxue:

"Junior Sister, I'm curious, why are you so persistent in cultivating immortality?"

This has always been Chen Chang'an's question, but he didn't plan to ask Mao Ruxue before. After seeing Mao Ruxue's family situation again this time, he finally asked.

With such a happy family, if it were Chen Chang'an, he probably wouldn't bother with cultivating immortality.

Oh, no, it's possible that he would.

"Senior Brother, have you heard of the Dao Realm?" Instead of answering Chen Chang'an's question, Mao Ruxue asked this in return.

Then, without waiting for Chen Chang'an to continue speaking, she continued:

"Since I was six years old, I gradually awakened some memories that didn't belong to me."

"In those memories, I seemed to be not a person of this world, but someone from a place called the Dao Realm."

"The Dao Realm doesn't belong to the Three Thousand Realms, but it seems to be floating in the Endless Sea. There are also many powerful people inside, far surpassing this place."

"I forgot who I was there, and I don't know how I came here, but my heart has always been telling me to go back."

"And this thought is very strong."

"I vaguely remember that I seemed to be a person of high status there, with extraordinary talent and strength, but in the end, it seems that someone killed me."

"My soul was then sent here."

"I can feel a strong sense of unwillingness in my heart."

"I don't know if there is a way to go back to that world in this world, but no matter what, I want to go back and take a look."

"Even if it's just following my heart's desire."

After speaking, Mao Ruxue glanced at Chen Chang'an and then apologized:

"Sorry, Senior Brother, for telling you such a bizarre thing."

This is the first time Mao Ruxue has confided in someone else about this matter. If it weren't for Chen Chang'an asking now, she would probably have kept this secret hidden forever.

After all, it is really too bizarre.

"Bizarre?"

"Junior Sister, I don't find it that way."

However, in Mao Ruxue's surprised gaze, Chen Chang'an nodded at her.

"Senior Brother, do you believe me?" Mao Ruxue was truly astonished.

For so many years, the reason why she didn't dare to tell anyone about this was because it was too bizarre.

Why did Li Ziwan like to oppose her so much? It was because she had mentioned this to Li Ziwan when they were young.

Then that girl refused to believe it and kept clamoring that Mao Ruxue had been invaded by a demonic obstacle and needed to be awakened. She wanted to correct Mao Ruxue's wrong path.

However, the result was that for so many years, she had been driven by Mao Ruxue.

"Why don't you believe it?" Chen Chang'an shook his head, then he looked at Mao Ruxue and said,

"Junior sister, do you remember what the first chapter of the 108th chapter of 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays' was about?"

Chapter 108, the first chapter of 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays'?

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue was momentarily stunned. She then remembered that her senior brother seemed to be a fan of 'Emperor Song' and that he was also one of the readers of that book.

"I remember."

She nodded, and then Mao Ruxue recalled and recited that passage:

"The sleepiness that enters your body in the early morning may not necessarily be sleepiness. The sunlight that falls on your face in the morning may not necessarily be sunlight. The knife that stabs you in the back may not necessarily be a knife. The heart-wrenching screams may not necessarily be caused by grievances."

Damn!

"Stop, stop, stop! Junior sister, please stop!"

Before Mao Ruxue could finish reciting, Chen Chang'an, with a bewildered expression, quickly stopped her.

"Junior sister, what are you reciting? It doesn't make any sense!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Did I recite it wrong?"

Even more bewildered than Chen Chang'an was Mao Ruxue, who asked in confusion.

"Could it be that I didn't recite it wrong?" Chen Chang'an was dumbfounded.

Is this what the first chapter of the 108th chapter is about? What the hell is this?

"Yes, senior brother, you're right."

Mao Ruxue replied with certainty.

She was truly convinced that the first chapter of the 108th chapter was written like this.

Why?

Because out of the entire 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays', this passage had the deepest impact on her.

The poetic and profound meaning behind phrases like "the sleepiness that enters your body in the early morning may not necessarily be sleepiness" and "the sunlight that falls on your face in the morning may not necessarily be sunlight" was remarkable.

Moreover, if Mao Ruxue remembered correctly, when 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays' was first released, this passage was eagerly annotated by the major experts of the Formless World.

However, in the end, no one was able to comprehend the true meaning behind the words written by Emperor Song in this passage.

The entire world failed to understand, indicating just how profound the artistic conception of this sentence was.

Unfathomable!

Not to mention others, even Mao Ruxue herself had tried to annotate this passage, but without exception, she had also failed.

The artistic conception of Emperor Song's writing was too high, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them.

"Is it really this?" Hearing this, Chen Chang'an couldn't hold back and directly took out the book 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays' from his space.

The book's pages had turned yellow, and the handwriting on it was elegant and perfect, a flowing and exquisite cursive script.

Without a doubt, this was a unique and original copy!

Chen Chang'an immediately flipped to the first page of the 108th chapter and found that the content was exactly what Mao Ruxue had just said.

Ahem!

"Ahem! Um, junior sister, you made a mistake. It's the first page of the 108th chapter."

In the next moment, his face turned red as he spoke.

These words of adolescent delusion being brought up was no different from having one's browsing history from a past life exposed.

Fortunately, no one in this world paid attention to the meaning of these words, otherwise he would really have to consider moving to another planet.

"Chapter 109? Oh, let me take a look."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue also took out her own 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays' from her space.

She had to take it out because she remembered the passage from the 108th chapter, but that was just that passage.

She had only read through the other contents of the Miscellaneous Essays and hadn't memorized every part.

Then, Mao Ruxue flipped to the 109th chapter and began reading.

The 108th chapter of 'Emperor Song Miscellaneous Essays' was not about anything else but the speculations made by Emperor Song about various Great Worlds recorded by people in the past.

In the records of the 109th chapter, Emperor Song mentioned that in this world, everything has different levels, including humans, living beings, and the natural world.

For example, the Abyss should be a world slightly higher in level than the Formless World.

And besides these two worlds, there must be other higher-level worlds in this world.

Who knows, maybe when the cultivators of the Formless World reach a certain level of cultivation, they will Ascend to that higher-level world.

In this chapter, Emperor Song defined that world as the Immortal World or the Divine Realm.

"Senior brother, are you saying that the world I remember is also a place similar to the Immortal World or the Divine Realm?" Mao Ruxue asked Chen Chang'an after reading.

"It's not impossible," Chen Chang'an nodded.

"Then senior brother, can we go to that world from here?" Mao Ruxue asked again.

It's possible, but it's highly unlikely," Chen Chang'an nodded and then shook his head.

He nodded because of his knowledge and speculation from his previous life.

Cultivation is endless, reaching the pinnacle of each realm and then ascending to a higher world to continue cultivation is a highly reasonable thing.

But he shook his head because of his understanding of the current situation.

Now, he has reached the Ninth Realm of the Great Dao, but he has not sensed any guidance or awareness of the so-called Ascension and higher worlds.

Reaching the Ninth Realm of the Great Dao means being able to recreate the heavens, earth, water, and fire, and having the qualifications for preliminary world creation.

If there really is an Ascension pathway, theoretically, this kind of existence would definitely have enough qualifications for Ascension.

But since it doesn't exist now, it means this speculation is not valid.

So Chen Chang'an shook his head, but he didn't want to discourage Mao Ruxue's enthusiasm.

Then, Chen Chang'an said, "Junior sister, let's wait a little longer."

"Perhaps in the future, before you even go looking for that world, it will come to us on its own."

"Oh, I see. I'll listen to senior brother," Mao Ruxue nodded, seemingly understanding.

"But senior brother, what does that passage in Chapter 108 mean?"

"You mean someone as powerful as Emperor Song, what kind of situation would make him write such a poetic piece?"

Upon hearing Mao Ruxue's question, Chen Chang'an suddenly didn't want to speak.

This book is definitely his shame. Chen Chang'an decided that when he returned, he would hang up and punish the author of this book!

What? The biggest author of this book is himself?

Then it's fine!

Without saying a word, after flying for another half a month, Chen Chang'an and the others finally entered the Great Wilderness.

The Great Wilderness is also known as the Hundred Thousand Great Wilderness. As far as the eye can see, it is all mountains, with continuous mountain ranges filled with clouds and mist.

This kind of mist is not ordinary mist, but it carries a terrifying aura, and any ordinary creature that touches it will die.

Even high-level cultivators cannot easily touch it.

In the mist, visible to the naked eye, there are several towering mountains, extraordinary and extraordinary.

"Hmm?"

After arriving here, Chen Chang'an was surprised to find that flying boats couldn't fly here??

At this moment, the Kidney Deficiency Master in Chen Chang'an's inner world spoke up, calmly explaining, "Kid, don't be surprised. This land was once a battlefield of gods."

"After enduring countless years of abandonment, the surface of the earth has long evolved beyond recognition."

"The hardness and gravity of this world don't even belong to the ancient era."

"Here, let alone flying boats, even a cultivator of the Eighth Realm would find it difficult to fly here."

"Only a cultivator like you, who has reached the Ninth Realm, can have some autonomy here."

"But, it's only autonomy."

"If you want to bring these little ones with you, I advise you to give up."

"Who knows what major accidents might happen."

"So terrifying?" After hearing the Kidney Deficiency Master's words, Chen Chang'an was immediately shocked.

"Otherwise, why do you think this place is called the Great Wilderness?"

The Kidney Deficiency Master said impatiently, giving Chen Chang'an a disdainful look, and continued, "The reason why it's called the Great Wilderness is not because of its poor spiritual energy and scarce resources."

"On the contrary, in terms of resources, just this Great Wilderness alone is worth half of the entire Formless World."

"It's even comparable to the human world, the Holy Realm, and several other supreme realms."

"But, even with such abundant resources, no one has dared to make a move on this place in countless ages, and the reason lies here."

"Of course, if you can find a Heavenly Venerable to mine for you, and on foot no less, then forget what I said."

Upon hearing Kidney Deficiency's words, Chen Chang'an did not argue.

Indeed, without such terrifying existences, the Great Wilderness would not be called the Great Wilderness.

"Sister, let's go."

Since they couldn't fly over, they would have to walk. Chen Chang'an didn't have any other ideas about it.

It's just that walking would take a long time.

But for him, time was no longer something worth cherishing.

Perfect, it would be nice to experience the Great Wilderness during this time.

"Alright, Senior Brother."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue stopped the flying boat in a relatively flat area. After everyone got off, she put away the flying boat.

"Senior Brother, where should we go next?" After putting away the flying boat, Mao Ruxue asked Chen Chang'an.

The Great Wilderness is vast, and without precise coordinates, it is even more difficult to find a tribe inside.

"Xiao Yi, do you still remember the general direction of your home?" Chen Chang'an didn't answer Mao Ruxue, but looked at Chen Yi.

"Master, I... I don't remember." Chen Yi lowered his head, he didn't remember where his home was.

"I see." Chen Chang'an nodded at his words, he didn't blame Chen Yi for anything.

Because it was normal, Chen Yi probably didn't even know how he got out in the first place, it would be strange if he remembered the way back.

But if they didn't know the direction, then it would be really difficult.

Just now, Chen Chang'an tried his divine sense and found that its range was greatly limited.

Even with various methods combined, he could only detect a thousand miles, which was insignificant compared to the vast Great Wilderness.

However, what Chen Chang'an didn't know was that being able to detect a thousand miles in the Great Wilderness was already quite remarkable.

After all, even when Yin Tianzi came here, the range he could detect was only a thousand miles.

In other words, Chen Chang'an's divine sense at the moment was already on par with top Heavenly Venerables, which was not unsatisfactory.

But still, he couldn't find the way.

Chen Chang'an fell into contemplation, thinking about how to proceed.

Whoosh whoosh!

However, just as Chen Chang'an was lost in thought, a sudden whooshing sound came from beside him.

It was the Big Blue Bird.

Right, how could he forget about it!

Seeing the Big Blue Bird, Chen Chang'an immediately had an idea.

The reason Chen Yi couldn't remember the way was because he was still young and hadn't practiced any techniques, so his memory was weak.

But the Big Blue Bird was different. Demonic Beasts themselves had inheritances, and it had basically been leading the way when Chen Yi came out.

So Chen Yi couldn't remember the way, but the Big Blue Bird did.

"Blue Bird, do you know the way?" Chen Chang'an asked the Big Blue Bird.

"Gaga!" The Big Blue Bird flapped its wings twice and nodded in response to Chen Chang'an's question.

Then it got up and walked in front of everyone.

"Let's follow it." Chen Chang'an said to everyone when he saw this.

"Kid, is this what you usually call giving others a favor and yourself a convenience?"

"It feels quite interesting." In the inner world, Kidney Deficiency saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

He truly sighed. Back when he was at his peak, he wouldn't have paid attention to these low-level creatures.

He had always been high and mighty.

As a result, he ended up sealed for countless years, with no one by his side.

"Old man, I never said that." Chen Chang'an smiled faintly.

"But that's what you're doing." Kidney Deficiency said.

"Alright." Chen Chang'an stopped arguing.

Led by the Big Blue Bird, the group quickly entered the range of the Great Wilderness.

Inside the Great Wilderness, there were all kinds of ancient trees, and every so often, you could see a towering ancient tree.

These ancient trees are probably as thick as dozens of people hugging together, and their growth is extremely unique.

In addition to these towering ancient trees, various temples can also be found scattered in the wilderness.

The temples are already in ruins, but as for why they can continue to exist, Chen Chang'an does not understand.

"Master, these are the spirits of the wilderness."

"Whenever night falls, darkness arrives."

"And at this moment, the great spirits of the wilderness will also revive."

"They will shelter us in the wilderness and protect us from the darkness."

Then, under Chen Yi's introduction, Chen Cai understood what these ancient trees were.

After listening to Chen Yi's words, Chen Chang'an pondered.

He communicated with the old man in his inner world.

"Old man, can you tell what these spirits are?"

The old man said:

"They are just fragments of ancient gods, they have been imbued with the divinity of the sacred ancient trees, and have acquired a Spirit Partitioning ability, so they can emit light to fight against the darkness."

Emit light to fight against the darkness?

Chen Chang'an nodded in understanding.

Although he had never been to the wilderness, he had done some research on it.

Chen Chang'an knew that the nights in the wilderness were terrifying. Whenever night fell, there would be something called darkness descending.

That thing came with the night and engulfed everything.

Anything that was caught by them would ultimately turn into countless white bones, or rather, disappear without a trace.

But in the wilderness, the night was not invincible. They also had something to fear, and that was a substance called the Holy Light.

The Immortal Saint Light is said to be a manifestation of the self-defense consciousness of the wilderness.

Whenever night falls, objects in the wilderness that possess this spirit will release it.

This spirit appears in the form of light and forms a protective shield within a certain range, sheltering all living beings.

For countless years, the wilderness has maintained a delicate balance between the appearance of this light and the darkness that is known as the god of death.

It is precisely because of this that the countless creatures in the wilderness are able to survive.

This is the law of the wilderness!

"Kid, stop talking. It's about to get dark. My advice is for you to find a temple or an ancient tree to stay temporarily."

"Otherwise, when the time comes, you may be fine, but your disciples and junior sister may not be so friendly."

Just then, the old man spoke again, this time with a noticeably reduced amount of joking, replaced by a hint of seriousness.

The wilderness was formed after his era, but the old man did not have the slightest hint of disdain for this upstart, but maintained enough awe.

"Okay." Hearing the old man's words, Chen Chang'an also had the same thought. He also respected the wilderness.

Buzz~!

The next moment, Chen Chang'an expanded his divine sense and began searching in this world.

After a brief exploration, he found that it seemed quite easy to find a temple in the wilderness.

There was a temple-like structure every hundred miles or so.

Within this range of less than a thousand miles, he discovered a dozen or so temples of various sizes, as well as some ancient trees.

From both the temples and the ancient trees, Chen Chang'an could sense a faint aura constantly emanating.

This was probably the spirit that the old man mentioned.

However, the only downside was that some of the temples and ancient trees were damaged, which caused Chen Chang'an to furrow his brows.

It seemed that even these immortal beings could not withstand the erosion of the long years.

Although they could resist the endless darkness, they themselves were constantly worn down in the process until they perished.

"Senior brother, why do you look so serious? Is something wrong?"

At this moment, Mao Ruxue noticed Chen Chang'an's expression and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, junior sister. Let's go. There is a temple ahead where we can rest." Chen Chang'an shook his head and then pointed in a direction.

This direction was not random.

When he used his divine sense to explore the world just now, he discovered a intact temple less than ten miles away from them.

If the darkness of the wilderness was real, then they would spend the night there.

"Oh, okay, senior brother."

Before long, the group headed towards the direction of the temple.

Buzz~!

After walking for a while, about halfway through the journey, the sky had already dimmed.

And at this moment when the sky was getting darker, Chen Chang'an seemed to hear something awakening in the distance, a buzzing sound exploded.

"Master, something is not right, we need to hurry, it's getting dark!"

At this moment, Chen Yi, who had always been quiet, suddenly became anxious and urged Chen Chang'an.

Swoosh~!

The big blue bird beside them also paced anxiously, as if it knew that something terrifying was about to happen.

Thump thump thump~!

At the same time, just then...

A series of thumping sounds suddenly echoed from the road behind Chen Chang'an and the others.

Roar~!

Immediately after, a huge wild boar appeared there.

This wild boar had fierce tusks and was as big as a building. Its eyes were crimson, and it charged towards Chen Chang'an and the others.

Huh?

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an frowned and was about to take action.

"Master, you can't take action, please spare him."

However, just as Chen Chang'an was about to make a move, he was stopped by Chen Yi.

Then, Chen Yi said, "Master, he is not targeting us, he just wants to pass through. Please don't kill him."

Is that so?

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Chen Chang'an's hand didn't move, but he also didn't take action.

He remembered a command that was passed down in the Great Wilderness: when darkness begins, all things coexist.

Although he didn't take action, Chen Chang'an remained on guard. He wanted to see the wild boar's intentions. If it really came for them, he would still take action.

However, the next moment, Chen Chang'an realized that he was overthinking. The wild boar's target was indeed not them.

As it passed by them, it didn't even glance at Chen Chang'an and the others. Its target was the small temple ahead.

Boom boom boom~!

Baa baa~!

Roar~!

Ow~!

.

Before Chen Chang'an could figure out what was going on, various wild beasts appeared densely behind them.

Wild sheep, wild wolves, wild lions, orangutans, wild tigers...

One by one, huge wild beasts came rushing from various places behind Chen Chang'an and converged on this road, charging towards the temple.

Among them, Chen Chang'an witnessed a surprising scene.

A small goat ran among a group of giant lions, but it seemed like the group of male lions couldn't see it at all. They didn't even try to bite it.

Such scenes were not uncommon in this army of countless wild beasts.

It was as if, at this moment, they were all the same kind of animal, without killing or devouring.

They only had one common action as they ran for their lives, and their target was the temple ahead.

Buzz~!

Chen Chang'an released his divine sense and immediately saw an even more astonishing scene.

At this moment, not only were there wild beasts running here, but there were also wild beasts running in various places in the Great Wilderness.

And the direction they were running towards was always the nearest temple or ancient tree.

And at this moment, Chen Chang'an discovered that behind these wild beasts, he didn't know when a huge black curtain had descended.
