The new day arrived. It was the twenty-first day here in the celestial world for Bai Chen.
He yawned and looked at the sky. He saw thick black clouds gathered, as if it would rain at any time. The weather today was not very good.
However, that did not affect Bai Chen much. He was at the tertiary nascent level now, so he did not have to worry about catching a cold after standing in the rain.
He extinguished the fire that he’d built at dawn. White smoke lingered.
Bai Chen stood up. He stretched a little before walking towards a specific direction.
He carefully walked past the trees. There were still a lot of strong beasts inside the forest, so he could not lower his guard.
From the memories he’d received, Bai Chen remembered that the strongest ones were at the tertiary foundation level. Also, there were a lot of them here.
He did not know how much time had passed. Eventually, Bai Chen was standing on a steep cliff. It was not that high since he could still see the ground.
“The celestial qi here is the thickest,” Bai Chen said softly.
He knew that this place had the thickest celestial qi in this forest. The cave that he had been staying at earlier had the second thickest concentration.
“I hope this will help me reach the primary foundation level.”
Bai Chen hoped that the celestial qi at this location would be enough to help him reach the primary foundation level.
The gap between the tertiary nascent level to the primary foundation level seemed to only be a step apart, but they were actually far away from each other. One needed to absorb enough celestial qi to set foot on the foundation level.
Even though the nascent and foundation level merely made people stronger, everyone at those levels still wanted to become a powerful cultivator.
While Bai Chen was standing there, rain started to fall. The rain fell on him. He raised his head up a little before taking shelter under a big tree close by.
...................................
Inside the forest, not so far from where Bai Chen was, three figures were walking towards him. They had a big, sharp knives in their hands. Their clothes were the same pattern as the men who’d come from the Feng village previously, whom Bai Chen had killed.
They were obviously from the Feng village.
There was a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man. They were a grouping of three different generations.
However, their status was different from how it should have been. The younger men were supposed to respect the older one.
However, the middle-aged and the old man seemed to respect the youngest one in the group. He even walked in front of them.
They were soaked with rain. However, nobody seemed to care.
“Young master, I think we shouldn’t go any farther.”
While all three of them were walking, the middle-aged man spoke worriedly.
The young man stopped short, letting the rain freely fall on him.
“Why not? My father wanted me to search for those two. Are you telling me to defy my father?” the young man said with dissatisfaction.
“Don’t worry. You have me,” the old man looked at the middle-aged and said.
The old man’s face was full of confidence. He was at the primary foundation level!
Anything below that would not be able to scare him.
Hearing that, the middle-aged man did not say anything more. He could not change the young man’s mind. He just had to follow him.
The reason why he respected this young man was because he was the only son of the village chief. If not, he would have been teaching him some manners with a slap by now.
He was an arrogant young man. He did not care about what others thought. He only ordered them around without letting them rest.
Seeing the middle-aged man fall silent, the young master of the Feng village frowned a little with doubt.
“Do you know why those people disappeared? Or were they eaten by beasts?”
“It’s highly possible, young master Feng Kun.” The old man nodded immediately. He had been in this world for 50 to 60 years. He had seen a lot of village members being killed by stronger beasts.
The middle-aged man did not express his opinion about this. Yet, he also thought that those two men could have been eaten by some beasts.
“Whatever. If they’re dead, we need to bring back the evidence,” Feng Kun said indifferently.
Dead village members did not matter to him. He would not have been here in the first place if his father, the chief of the village, had not told him to.
Hearing that, the middle-aged and the old man merely nodded. They did not say anything.
They still marched forward. They killed weak beasts along the way. They avoided those that were stronger than them.
After about 10 minutes passed, they finally found shredded pieces of clothing covered in dried blood.
Feng Kun’s eyes was emotionless. “It seems like they really are dead. The beasts got them. Not even the bones have been left behind!”
The middle-aged man sighed with some grief for the death of his fellow village members.
The old man shook his head a little before collecting the pieces of fabric.
“Young master, I think we should go back. We’ve finished what we came here for.”
The middle-aged man quickly turned to Feng Kun after he sighed.
Hearing that, Feng Kun thought about it for a second and nodded.
