Beyond the Central Heaven Prefecture lies what are called the four borders.
Beyond the four borders lies the Four Desolate Lands inhabited by numerous alien races.
now:
In the Southern Desolate Land, at the end of a million vast, desolate mountains.
Tear!
Space was torn apart, and a beam of starlight shot out, revealing two figures, an old man and a young man.
Qingyu, we've arrived.
Chen Guangsheng spoke first.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu looked up and was slightly startled.
What you see is a vast expanse of lush greenery, an endless sea of forest stretching to the horizon.
This is the Forest of Eternal Night.
Each of the ancient trees here is said to be at least several thousand or tens of thousands of years old, often tens or hundreds of feet tall, with canopies that stretch out to block out the sun.
Walking through the forest, one cannot see a single ray of sunlight, as if in a long, dark night, hence the name Forest of Eternal Night.
Further ahead, we will enter the range of the Spirit Clan Royal Court court's Divine Weapon divine weapon.
Chen Guangsheng began to explain:
As the Supreme Elder of the Chen Clan, my rash entry into the territory of a foreign race risks triggering conflict.
After all, we're here as guests, not to intimidate or coerce.
I'd better send a message to the Spirit Clan Royal Court first, asking them to send someone to welcome us.
etc!
Chen Qingyu suddenly spoke, his voice deep:
Great-grandfather, this time, I want to go to the Spirit Clan Royal Court alone.
Um?
Chen Guangsheng paused for a moment, then frowned and spoke;
This won't work.
You're alone, entering the sacred land of a foreign race. What about your safety?
Chen Qingyu shook his head and slowly said:
After the Yanggu Zhang Clan appeared, the news had already spread throughout the entire Southern Region, and the Spirit Clan Royal Court court probably knew about it as well.
If we go in together, with you, Great-Grandpa, by their side, they'll know at a glance that I am Chen Shaojun.
But this time, I don't want to go in as Chen Shaojun.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangsheng paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice:
Is it because of your mother?
right.
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath and said with a complicated expression:
So many years have passed, and I still don't know whether my mother and sister are doing well or not.
After she separated from my father, was she imprisoned, placed under house arrest, or did she have a very difficult life?
If we go there in a grand manner, the Spirit Clan Royal Court will surely receive us with the highest honors and show us only what I want to see.
Even if they are not doing well, the Spirit Clan Royal Court will definitely make it seem like everything is fine beforehand.
This is not what I want to see.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangsheng couldn't help but sigh:
I understand what you mean.
Among the four alien races:
The Spirit Race are the weakest of the three races, and they only have the Spirit Clan Royal Court as their holy land.
Once they find out that Chen Qingyu is Chen Shaojun, they will definitely try their best to curry favor with him and make a big fuss about his mother and sister.
There is absolutely no doubt about this.
In the present Desolate Continent, the title of the Number One Heavenly Prodigy of All Time is second only to the Emperor Yuan in prestige. Everyone knows that he will eventually rule the Desolate Continent.
Even if Chen Qingyu actively asked them, it would be difficult to get the truth out of them.
After all, they were also of the Spirit Race. If they had been given prior notice by the higher-ups of the Spirit Clan Royal Court, they would inevitably say things against their conscience for the sake of their clan's interests, keeping the bitter consequences to themselves.
Great-grandfather.
Chen Qingyu looked at Chen Guangsheng and said in a deep voice:
I promised my father that I would check on my mother and sister to see how they were doing.
What I don't want to see are carefully crafted illusions.
So this time, I just want to go and see for myself, as an ordinary member of the Chen Clan clan and as my mother's son, whether they are doing well.
Please forgive my willfulness.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangsheng smiled and said gently:
We Human Race, standing between heaven and earth, are distinguished from beasts and insects by our capacity for compassion and righteousness.
Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important; how could I blame your intentions?
As he spoke, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face:
It's about your safety.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled and said:
You don't need to worry about that.
The people from the Sage Evolution Palace didn't know I was going to the Spirit Clan Royal Court, so they couldn't possibly have laid an ambush to deal with me beforehand, right?
Furthermore, their plot has just been exposed and is now under the watchful eyes of the major holy sites, so they are certainly now carefully hiding their tracks.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
As for the Spirit Clan Royal Court, you need to worry even less.
I'm just an ordinary member of the Chen Clan, with no real value. Why would those high-ranking members of the Spirit Race risk antagonizing the Chen Clan to deal with me?
Chen Guangsheng nodded slightly and said:
Even so, we cannot be negligent.
As he spoke, he reached out his hand, made a grasping motion, and amidst the slight ripples of starlight, a talisman shimmering with starlight condensed.
Keep this talisman close to your body.
I will wait outside the Forest of Eternal Night. If I encounter any danger, I will arrive immediately with a simple activation of my True Essence!
He handed the talisman to Chen Qingyu, and added:
Also, if the Spirit Clan Royal Court refuses to agree to the Blood Exchange Ritual, or if an accident occurs midway, remember to crush the talisman.
The Blood Exchange Ritual must not be disrupted; this was something that the Ninth Ancestor personally instructed him to do.
Chen Qingyu nodded, carefully put away the starlight talisman, and solemnly said;
I see.
Grandpa, don't worry, I will be careful.
good!
Chen Guangsheng sighed and flicked his sleeve, saying:
Then go ahead, and come back soon.
Um.
Chen Qingyu responded and immediately bid farewell to Chen Guangsheng, flying alone towards the Forest of Eternal Night below.
This child
Chen Guangsheng watched his retreating figure and let out a long sigh.
boom!
Chen Qingyu maintained a low-speed escape, carefully traversing through the vast forest.
The surroundings were pitch black, except for the thick layer of humus below, where numerous fluorescent moss and mushrooms emitted a faint light.
The entire sky above the Forest of Eternal Night was enveloped by the power of the Spirit Race Clan's Divine Weapon. Apart from a very few people, even members of the Spirit Race themselves dared not fly in the sky.
Therefore, he could only wander through the forest, hoping to encounter the Spirit Race members soon.
It's really big inside.
After flying for a while, Chen Qingyu turned around and found that he could no longer see the sunlight behind him.
This means he has already flown beyond the outer edge of the Forest of Eternal Night, making it quite difficult to turn back.
Without sunlight or celestial signs, it's difficult to discern directions. The forest is filled with towering ancient trees and vines, making it impossible to move in a straight line.
Even the slightest difference will be magnified infinitely as distance increases.
In the end, the outsiders would often get lost in this Forest of Eternal Night as they flew, never making contact with the true Spirit Race.
This Forest of Eternal Night is like a labyrinth; hopefully, I won't encounter any unexpected events.
