Chapter 199: Chapter 114: Leaving the Team and Moving On, The World after the Ancient Star Road! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)_3
In a place like the Grand Tenebrosity Secret Realm, a team without a Great Cultivator from the Six Realms...
One can imagine without much thought what they would come across.
Hearing Zhang Xuandao’s words, Chen Chang’an just smiled gently and said:
"Senior Brother, don’t worry, I won’t go too far."
Then he turned his gaze towards one direction amongst the disciples.
There, Mao Ruxue was talking to a few disciples about something.
Chen Chang’an pointed at Mao Ruxue and said:
"Moreover, Junior Sister has a mark I left on her."
"If something goes wrong, I will sense it immediately and rush over."
"Well... okay then."
Finally, after hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Zhang Xuandao gave up any further struggle.
He helplessly folded his hands towards Chen Chang’an and said:
"Be careful on the journey, Brother Chen."
"Don’t worry, Senior Brother."
Chen Chang’an nodded, then bid farewell to Zhang Xuandao.
However, after his agreement with Zhang Xuandao, he didn’t leave immediately.
Instead, he moved to the front of the team.
"Huh? Senior Brother, didn’t you stay at the back, why have you suddenly arrived at the front at this time?"
At the front of the team, Mao Ruxue was intently observing the surrounding landform,
In the hope of spotting a few Dao Flowers and possibly making a small fortune.
Upon seeing Chen Chang’an approaching, she immediately asked, puzzled.
Chen Chang’an replied:
"Junior Sister, I need to go out for a while."
"So I came to tell you."
"Senior Brother, you’re going out? Where are you going? Are you leaving the team and going on your own?"
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue immediately asked, puzzled.
"Yes." Chen Chang’an nodded.
Then he explained to Mao Ruxue what he had just told Zhang Xuandao.
However, this time, he added another clear reason to his explanation.
That was, the place he was going to, only a Great Scholar could enter.
If anyone else went there, they would either die or be injured, and they might even suffer severe damage to their Dao.
As a result, their realm could drop.
Thus, he could only go alone on this journey, it was impossible to bring others along.
After explaining everything, Chen Chang’an looked at Mao Ruxue and said:
"So, Junior Sister, I need you to help me keep an eye on the team during this time."
"Can you do it?"
"Uh huh, sure, Senior Brother."
Mao Ruxue nodded.
Next, Chen Chang’an looked at the little purple elephant fluttering around Mao Ruxue,
And said, "Little Duo, I’m not bringing you with me this time."
"You stay by junior sister’s side first, help me look after this place."
"If there’s another chance next time, I will bring you along, okay?"
"Moo moo~!" Little Duo didn’t seem very happy.
It was obvious that it wanted to follow Chen Chang’an.
However, in the end, it mooed twice in agreement with Chen Chang’an’s words.
The mooing was full of solemnity,
As if telling Chen Chang’an that he could leave without worry and leave everything to it.
Chen Chang’an naturally believed in Little Duo’s words.
Without bragging, he believed that amongst all the people currently in this secret realm,
Even including himself, the number of people who could defeat Little Duo could probably be counted on one hand.
So, with Little Duo guarding, was there any need to worry about the Tianshui Sect?
Obviously, there wasn’t.
"Alright then, I will entrust this place to you."
After instructing Mao Ruxue and Little Duo, Chen Chang’an went towards the back of the team, and then...he did not catch up to them again.
In this way, their group separated.
Zhang Xuandao took the lead to guide the disciples towards the center of the Grand Tenebrosity Secret Realm to seek out opportunities.
Whereas Chen Chang’an left the team, walking in a different direction.
At this time, Chen Chang’an reached the outskirts of a dense forest.
Looking at this dense forest, an expression of deep thought crossed Chen Chang’an’s face.
Although he did go along with the idea of deceiving Zhang Xuandao when he left the team,
But Chen Chang’an had not lied to Zhang Xuandao. He did have something he needed to do alone.
The dense forest before his eyes was one of the tasks he was to undertake.
Upon arriving at the forest, numerous pieces of related information instantly floated into Chen Chang’an’s mind.
[Information 1: This place is called the Heavenly Obscure Forest, the most mysterious area in the Grand Tenebrosity Secret Realm.
However, its scenic beauty is non-existent, and it is also the most valueless place in the Grand Tenebrosity Secret Realm.
This is because Dao Flowers do not exist here, but surprisingly, there are many Resentful Spirits...]
[Information 2: A Resentful Spirit saint has appeared here in the past, suspected of being the place of all origins...]
...
[Information 50: There seem to be peculiarities within the Heavenly Obscure Forest. After entering and then coming out, the layout of the forest seems to change...]
[Information 51: Thought to be the burial place of an Ancient Devil God. It’s subjected to demonic disturbances all year round and is to be avoided by living beings...]
[Information 52: A Heavenly Venerate of the Sea of Reincarnation once tried to probe this place with his great mana but returned with serious injuries...]
...
[Information 131: In the Ancient Era, the Sword Ancestor once visited this place. After looking around the outskirts a few times, he left in disappointment.]
[He left a dictate to all his disciples and descendants of the Sword Gate upon his return:
One must not venture into the Heavenly Obscure Forest.]
This information came from several fragmented reports from the ancient texts that Chen Chang’an had read over the years.
Upon reading the texts numerous times, one gains insight into their meanings.
Perhaps individual pieces of information are not very useful, but if all of them are combined and compared onsite with the actual object, it’s a different story.
After comprehensive consolidation and deduction, Chen Chang’an arrived at several conclusions.
