With Qing Yumei as a humanoid guide, even in the dim mountain forest beneath the Heavenly Light, the group still did not lose their way.
They soon left the ancient forest where they had been before.
Intimidated by the lingering might of the battle between Old Master, Second Master, and the Dao Peak Mountain experts, nearly all the vicious beasts hid in their nests and dared not show themselves. Along the way, Xiao Chen and the others encountered no attacks from vicious beasts—not even a strange insect.
After leaving the ancient forest and passing several crystal-clear streams, the group stopped to rest for a while. Once they had replenished their water supply, they set off again.
They had actually brought a great deal of fresh water before setting out, but the river water on Golden Light Mountain was exceptionally sweet. Thus, everyone abandoned the water they had brought and chose to replenish their supply on the spot.
After the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy, even an ordinary little river on Golden Light Mountain contained astonishing spiritual energy. Ordinary people who drank from it could prolong their lives, strengthen their bodies, and glow with health. If cultivators drank it year-round, it could also improve their cultivation to a certain extent.
Not long after.
Xiao Chen and the others arrived at a forest of purple maple leaves.
Purple maple trees filled the forest, each leaf like a small cluster of purple exotic flame. They swayed in the wind, flowing with a shimmering violet radiance, beautiful beyond compare.
"What a beautiful Purple Maple Forest," Qing Yumei exclaimed.
In all her life, this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful sight.
Xiao Chen also stared at the breathtaking Purple Maple Forest before him for a few extra moments. It truly was beautiful.
