Bai Yu walked to Lin Taichu's side, his gaze sweeping over the mountain forest beyond the valley, and said, "Right now, we only have two paths. Either we continue staying in Chaotian Gate, search for clues and opportunities to ascend, and evade the demons' warrant."
"Or we leave Chaotian Gate, return to the human realm, and come back after our strength improves."
Lin Taichu shook his head. "Returning to the human realm will only waste time. Besides, we've already grasped part of the clues to ascension. Giving up now would be far too much of a pity."
"We'll continue staying in Chaotian Gate, find a chance to head to the place where the Spirit Veins converge, temper our Spirit Veins, raise our strength, and at the same time search for more clues to ascension."
Bai Yu nodded without objection. The two restrained their auras and once again walked out of the valley, heading toward the place deep within Chaotian Gate where the Spirit Veins converged.
The two restrained their auras the whole way, avoiding the demons' patrols as they sped toward the depths of Chaotian Gate.
Along the way, the ancient trees grew denser and denser. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth became increasingly rich, mingled with a faint Heavenly Realm spiritual energy, completely different from the mixed, impure aura from before.
After traveling for half a day, the mist ahead gradually thickened. Spiritual energy condensed into visible white radiance that flowed through the forest. The place where the Spirit Veins converged was already close at hand.
Lin Taichu and Bai Yu slowed their steps and pushed aside the vines blocking their sight. The view ahead suddenly opened wide.
An open valley appeared before them. At the center of the valley was a spring eye gushing with spiritual energy.
