The Trial Grounds, Divine Light Sword Instruction!

This is all the information left behind by the First-Generation Sect Master.

Chen Ning indeed had to traverse the Darkness Ancient Road.

The Darkness Ancient Road.

It is also known as the Emperor Realm Trial Grounds.

This is a forbidden zone in the Vast Land.

Without the strength of the Emperor Realm, one can hardly make a step on the Darkness Ancient Road and is constantly in danger of death if one wants to go to such a place.

The Darkness Ancient Road is a region chosen by the gods millions of years ago.

After the gods slew the demons.

They buried the evil spirits here.

In other words, this is a graveyard of demons.

At the same time.

There were also demons that could not be eliminated, or whose elimination would cause chaos. After weighing the options, the gods sealed them in this area.

High Antiquity times.

There are many evil spirits.

As the area grew larger, it came to be known as the Darkness Ancient Road.

A million years later.

The gods of the Vast Land ascended to the God Realm.

The Darkness Ancient Road gradually became a testing ground for powerful Saint Emperor.

Many Saint Emperor spend their entire lives without ever reaching the Saint Venerable Realm.

He then took a desperate gamble, pushing his limits on the Darkness Ancient Road.

At the same time.

After the gods of the Vast Land departed.

The Darkness Ancient Road also needs maintenance; otherwise, the loosened seals on the evil spirits could easily resurface and wreak havoc on the world.

All Eight Great God Clans have powerful members who periodically enter the Darkness Ancient Road.

Address potential hazards.

The First-Generation Sect Master's suspicion that the future calamity of the Vast Land originated from the Darkness Ancient Road was not unfounded. Many high-ranking members of the God Clan also believed that the Darkness Ancient Road was the most likely source of the turmoil.

These years.

They also dispatched many more powerful individuals to patrol.

Enter the Darkness Ancient Road.

There's more to it than just conducting an investigation; it's also about enhancing our capabilities.

Chen Ning remained with the Light God Clan.

Although it can be well protected.

However, significant improvement was not achieved.

Only through the trials of such forbidden zones can Chen Ning improve his strength and break through to a higher realm more quickly.

There are so many things waiting for me to do.

Strength is what Chen Ning craves most.

Night.

Chen Ning silently cultivated himself in the courtyard.

The Light Clan Leader pushed open the door and entered, his magnificent golden robes almost blinding.

"Senior."

Chen Ning slowly opened his eyes.

The Light Clan Leader entered the courtyard and sat down directly. Since he already regarded Chen Ning as a junior, he didn't act like a patriarch at all. He sighed:

"The Darkness God Clan pinned all the blame for Chu Hengkong's assassination attempt on him. Since he had long since stopped interfering in clan affairs, he managed to absolve himself of all responsibility."

Will the other God Clan believe it?

"Whether the other God Clan believe it or not is none of my concern, but they won't let this go so easily. I want them to hand over that old friend of yours from the Nine Provinces Realm, but they refuse, claiming that such a person doesn't exist. I suspect they're keeping a backup plan to threaten you later."

"Understood, I know they won't hand over the old sect leader easily, but thank you anyway."

"Don't be so polite, we're family."

The Light Clan Leader changed the subject, a sharp glint in his eyes. "However, they won't let this go so easily. Do they really think our clan wouldn't dare to wage war against them without paying a price?"

"This way, they'll learn their lesson."

Chen Ning nodded.

The Light Clan Leader looked at him and said, "It's a pity we couldn't get them to hand over the person. Child, seizing the tail of the Darkness God Clan has brought many benefits to our clan, but you haven't gained anything. So, I'll teach you something; please accept it."

As he spoke.

The Light Clan Leader placed an ancient scroll in Chen Ning's hands and instructed him, "This is the Divine Light Sword Instruction of my Light God Clan, which I will pass on to you."

Chen Ning immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior."

"Don't be so polite. I've long regarded you as my own junior. You can't let down that girl in Hongyi, and you can't let down my Light God Clan. This God Clan will definitely be handed over to you two in the future."

Chen Ning smiled helplessly.

The Light Clan Leader has truly bound himself to the Light God Clan.

I wonder if it was an opportunity to get revenge on the First-Generation Sect Master for beating him up back then.

In fact.

The Light Clan Leader was secretly pleased. He had only been beaten up, but he had already bound a peerless genius to the Light God Clan. It was simply too worth it.

He even wished he could get beaten up more often.

"Senior, I may have to go to the Darkness Ancient Road. Hua'er and my friends will stay in the City of Light. I'm afraid you'll have to take care of them."

Chen Ning looked at the Light Clan Leader and spoke.

"You're going to the Darkness Ancient Road?"

Upon hearing this, the Light Clan Leader was slightly taken aback at first, then said, "Go with peace of mind. There are also Saint Emperor- level experts from our clan to look after you on the Darkness Ancient Road. Furthermore, I will have Heavenly Venerable Zhu accompany you. As long as it's not the patriarchs of the various God Clan who personally intervene, Heavenly Venerable Zhu can handle it all."

Thank you, senior.

Given this guarantee, Chen Ning wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse.

"Have you uncovered any clues?"

The Light Clan Leader asked another question.

Chen Ning shook his head. "Not for now. I'll try my luck and gain some experience. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've had an opportunity like this."

"Alright."

The Light Clan Leader nodded. "The Darkness Ancient Road is teeming with powerful individuals, and they all tacitly adhere to the principle of 'no mercy for the dead and wounded,' which is why it has become the premier trial ground in the Vast Land."

If someone is killed on the Darkness Ancient Road, the God Clan behind it cannot pursue the matter afterward, otherwise they will become a laughing stock of the entire Vast Land.
