You Can't Touch a Tiger's Bottom

Great River Gate.

Xizong Zongzhi Mountain.

Southern Saint Demon Sect.

Northern Divine Martial Kingdom.

Chaos City.

Chaos City is located at the very center of the Five Great Powers' geographical locations, in the heart of the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest is as vast as the sea. Its name suggests that it is located in a wild and untamed place, but in reality, it is located in the central heart of the True Spirit Continent.

This place was once the most Spiritual Energy rich place in the Cultivation World, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, numerous sects, growing immortal herbs, and inhabited by divine beasts.

This is why, after the end of the Dharma Ending Era, this place is also the most frequently attacked by the Wraith.

This area, spanning tens of thousands of miles, is shrouded in Wraith Fog year-round, its Spiritual Meridian are disordered, and the Wraith frequently appears. There are no longer any normal spiritual plants or Spirit Beast here.

However, because the Spiritual Energy concentration here was extremely high before, these polluted Wraith Beast and plants did not completely wither and die, but continued to live in a state of semi-death.

This has resulted in extremely frequent Beast Tide in the Dark Forest, where even spiritual plants can devour people without spitting out the bones, making crossing the Dark Forest an extremely dangerous undertaking.

Although it was Xiao Ran's first time in the Dark Forest, he had planned beforehand that if he couldn't make a name for himself in the Eastern Floating District, he would raise money to go to Chaos City.

Therefore, Xiao Ran had quite a bit of research and knowledge about how to cross the Dark Forest.

To reach Chaos City from the western teleportation array, one must pass through the Dark Forest, and there are three routes to traverse it.

The first method, crossing in a straight line, is the least strenuous and fastest, but also the most dangerous.

The second option is to take a relatively safe detour of 30,000 li northwest from the outer ring road to find the official road guarded by the Imperial Road Army. This is the safest option, but also the most time-consuming.

The third option, a relatively compromise, is to ascend through the thick Wraith Fog, taking a route through the sky. This is more time-consuming and safer than crossing the river, but less time-consuming and more dangerous than taking a detour.

Xiao Ran's first time leaving Dongfu District was just like his first time going abroad. He was unfamiliar with the place and the people. Even with his Master by his side, he knew that his Master was not truly invincible, so he still wanted to proceed with caution.

Especially after he defeated Lu Pingtian, there will definitely be many forces that have designs on him, and any unexpected situation may occur. It would be bad if fighting and killing along the way delayed the journey.

"The main gathering of the Heaven's Chosen Assembly is scheduled for seven days from now. Tomorrow is just a suggestion for when we will arrive in Chaos City. Since we are here to enjoy a honeymoon... tourism, why not take a detour and go through the official road in the northwest? We can soak in hot springs, enjoy the scenery, and experience the military salute of the Imperial Road Army along the way."

Xiao Ran boarded the Sword Ship and made this suggestion.

"What kind of tourism is this? Don't underestimate tourism, you idiot!"

Lingzhou Yue sat cross-legged on the stone table of the Sword Ship, eager to bring her Fight the Wraith talent to Chaos City. She had no intention of lingering on the official road.

"The second lesson of the Dharma Ending Era - the Dark Forest is the backyard of the Sword-Wielder. Can you call it going out if you don't kill a few Wraith? Besides, it seems that the Saint Demon Sect members were ambushed ahead. It is very likely related to the Demon Sword inherited by Zongzhi Mountain. Shouldn't we go and investigate? Sword-Wielder, fighting against the Netherworld is endless fun."

Goodness! After writing so much, the last sentence revealed his true thoughts.

What a delightful experience to fight the underworld... Xiao Ran felt he had underestimated his Master's eloquence before; he was practically Shakespeare! Before Xiao Ran could respond, Lingzhou Yue had already gone to the Bamboo House, pressed the control stone, manually started the boat, and rushed straight into the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest is filled with tall trees, dense vegetation, rugged mountains, and extremely complex terrain.

As the Sword Ship ventured deeper, it was surrounded by endless black mist, thick and obscure murmurs, a bloody and nauseating smell, half-dead and deformed flowers and plants, and emaciated, ghostly Wraith Beast hidden behind withered trees... as well as indescribable beings deep within the black mist.

Lingzhou Yue sat cross-legged on the stone table, chugging down his drinks while fiddling with Bamboo Tile, studying the art of battling the Wraith.

Xiao Ran stood at the bow of the boat, concentrating his energy on steering the boat with his mind.

A faint blue light rose up, and it flew close to the ground, cutting through fog and thorns, dodging and weaving, automatically avoiding rocks and trees.

Wraith Beast are worthless, and entrapment is not applicable.

In order to avoid being targeted by the Wraith Beast, Xiao Ran went all out, drawing upon his Master's Spiritual Power and using the ship's core power at the Nascent Soul Stage to move forward.

At the same time, the transparency of the blue light shield was altered, deliberately making the Master's Spirit Severing Cultivation Level stand out without any concealment, just like her figure.

As a result, the nearby Wraith Beast only dared to watch from afar and dared not approach, their eyes turning red and cold, emitting a low, rumbling engine sound.

The Wraith Beast are very realistic, which shows that the Wraith Poison hasn't yet entered their brains.

Halfway there, Xiao Ran discovered a large area of fallen dead trees and tree stumps ahead.

Upon closer inspection, the cross-section of the tree stump still retains the aura of the demonic sword.

It was a sword strike left behind by Lu Pingtian! There were also burnt, withered vines all around...

The spatial structure also appears disordered.

Was this the place where Gentleman took Lu Pingtian? The sword slash had a very large range, and the closer you got to the center, the denser the Wraith Fog became.

As the Sword Ship ventured deeper, the drifting fog grew thicker and thicker until nothing could be seen at all, not even divine sense could penetrate it.

Lingzhou Yue continued fiddling with the Bamboo Tile, head down, without looking up, and said:

"There's nothing to see here, let's go."

Xiao Ran was there for tourism, so naturally he didn't care about the Saint Demon Sect.

Moreover, he also learned about the Saint Demon Sect's affairs in the Black Ring Group.

But in order to tease his Master, he deliberately said:

"Didn't Master say he was going to investigate the ambush on the Saint Demon Sect? Why is he leaving so soon after arriving?"

His sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he had suddenly noticed something...

Lingzhou Yue slapped her ample thigh, raised her head and stared at Xiao Ran, saying, "You're right, go investigate."

Xiao Ran was suddenly taken aback.

"Me alone?"

Lingzhou Yue patted her bottom and got up, pacing on the lawn with her hands behind her back. She puffed out her chest and said, "Yes, you are alone. It is also a kind of cultivation for you. Your master will find some powerful Wraith beings nearby to fight. We will meet in Chaos City tomorrow."

Oh my god!

Xiao Ran never expected that he would be outmaneuvered by his Master.

"Aren't we here for tourism?"

Lingzhou Yue walked to Xiao Ran's side, patted his shoulder, her clear eyes filled with a dignified and authoritative air, and said earnestly, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of cultivators. You have been protected in the greenhouse of Zongzhi Mountain. Now that you have become stronger, you must learn to face the true cruelty of the Dharma Ending Era alone. Isn't this a million times more exciting than any honeymoon?"

Who the hell wants this kind of thrill?

I want to go on my honeymoon!

Just as Xiao Ran was about to refuse, his Master kicked him into the thick fog.

That kick sent the enemy flying for miles! When they got up, everything around them was shrouded in mist; they could no longer find the direction of the Sword Ship ...

Is Master serious?

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; just a moment ago they were holding hands and making heart shapes with their hands, and now she's kicked him into hell. The ship of friendship between master and disciple capsized in an instant.

It's clear that serving a master is like serving a tiger; you can't touch a tiger's backside. He shouldn't have been so sarcastic! There's no need to worry about the Master.

Master is right to say Fight the Wraith, but she's definitely not fighting the nearby Wraith.

Needless to say, they headed straight for Chaos City.

This means that Xiao Ran will have to Sword Flight through the Dark Forest.

Of course, with his Master's Bone of the Blood Moon, his safety would not be a problem at all.

At most, they'll suffer some physical pain.

First, you need to get out of the thick fog.

The Wraith Fog here is different from the black mist elsewhere in the Dark Forest. It is a vast expanse of white, with visibility of only a few dozen feet. Divine sense is not as good as eyesight, Xiao Ran can only see a little further by relying on the Resonance Power.

It took him a while to figure out which way was east, west, north, and south, and then he headed east.

After walking around, he returned to the same spot and precisely stepped into the pit where his Master had previously kicked him over.

This lousy place is really haunted!

Just as Xiao Ran decided to activate his max-level Resonance Divine Sense—

A ghostly black shadow pounced from behind! The Resonance Movement Technique was activated instinctively in advance, instantly dodging the shadow and retreating swiftly.

Xiao Ran glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

All that could be seen were two huge, bloodshot eyes, and withered, black claws that were like sharp swords piercing his chest.

Their eyes met in an instant, Xiao Ran couldn't see the other person's figure clearly. He only felt a jolt in his mind and a kind of ethereal dizziness.

The Wraith?

Fearing that the power of the spirit-infused palm strike would be absorbed by the Wraith, Xiao Ran instinctively drew his Spirit Sword and slashed out! His sword technique was unremarkable, yet it carried an extremely strong Resonance Power.

With a clang, a fierce sword whistle rang out.

This then triggered a triple superposition of Wraith Fog, spatial distortion, and shadowy figures, accompanied by the clang of swords.

In an instant, the shadowy figure that had launched the sneak attack was blasted back ten feet by a single sword strike, crashing violently into a thick, broken tree stump, emitting a low, terrifying wail.

Xiao Ran quickly retreated ten feet.

Suddenly, I sensed something was wrong. I used the Resonance Power to calm myself and looked closely—

Good heavens! What is this thing?
