Chapter 373: Chapter 364: Hair-Raising

"Hmph!"

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Yao Wuliang snorted coldly but did not respond. Instead, he stood aside with Zhou Tong and others, waiting for the action to begin.

"Who might this friend be..."

Yu Zhi looked at Mo Wangchen, a bit puzzled. Judging from the aura, Mo Wangchen’s cultivation was obviously much weaker than Yao Wuliang’s, yet there seemed to be a grudge between the two.

Where did this person come from?

"Tiannan, Mo Wangchen," Mo Wangchen replied.

"Another friend from Tiannan?" Yu Zhi was taken aback. No wonder he felt the atmosphere was somewhat tense; it turned out the man in white before him came from the same plane as Yao Wuliang.

"Thirteen people, all above the Nirvana Realm..."

Soon, Yu Zhi checked the cultivation of Mo Wangchen and others one by one. After nodding, he said, "All of you are Saint Heirs, talents expected to achieve emperorhood in the future. I am Yu Zhi; we may see each other again."

Having said that, he distributed the Pills.

...

Soon, another half a day passed. The Pills owned by those major forces had already been distributed, and they began discussing entering the Fallen Immortal Forest.

After the discussion, they decided to divide everyone into small teams and march parallel into the depths of the Fallen Immortal Forest. This way, they could explore the area where the Jiao Long resided in a comprehensive manner.

"The Fallen Immortal Forest has existed since the Ancient Era, full of countless dangers. Everyone, be cautious."

"Move out!"

A large group of Saint Venerable experts took to the sky, numbering in the hundreds, led by them, began entering the Fallen Immortal Forest.

Mo Wangchen’s team was led by a Saint Venerable expert from the Haotian Sect, with Saint Heir Yu Zhi among them. This team had over a thousand people.

A mass of figures surged from the mountains near the Fallen Immortal Forest, moving in, forming a long line, and totaling tens of thousands.

Buzz!

When everyone stepped into the Fallen Immortal Forest, they could clearly feel as if they had crossed some sort of barrier.

"Such strong Curse Power!"

Mo Wangchen frowned slightly. He had already swallowed the Pill, and though it could isolate the Curse Power of the Fallen Immortal Forest, he still felt that the Curse Power here was no weaker than that of Tiannan’s Reincarnation Mountain Range.

Within his body, the Spiritual Power in his Spirit Sea was depleting at an extremely fast rate. That was the normal sign after swallowing the Pill. Once the Spiritual Power was completely exhausted, the efficacy would also end, and the Curse Power could no longer be isolated.

However, judging by the speed of the Spiritual Power depletion in Mo Wangchen’s body, he estimated that the Pill he just swallowed should last for an hour without being interfered by the Curse Power.

"The Outer World is indeed extraordinary to even develop Pills that can isolate Curse Power. If possible, it would be good to get another Pill to study," Mo Wangchen said, his eyes shining.

After entering the range of the Fallen Immortal Forest, everyone became extra cautious, sticking closely as they advanced, not daring to pause since they knew the Pills were not permanently effective.

"It’s rumored that beneath the Fallen Immortal Forest lies the remains of an Immortal. I wonder if it’s true."

While walking, Mo Wangchen’s group stayed close together, and Yao Chuxia spoke.

"Things like Immortals, do they really exist? Who could say for sure? Anyway, I’ve never seen any records in the ancient texts about Immortals in the world," Zhuo Bufan laughed. He was the Saint Heir of the Daluo Heaven Sect, which had been passed down since the Ancient Era. Its ancient texts recorded countless events.

"Isn’t it also rumored in our Tiannan that beneath the Southern Desert lies the remains of an Immortal? Whether it’s true or not, even the oldest forces of the Southern Desert probably can’t guarantee it," Wu Lingfeng laughed, his face clearly showing disbelief.

"Things are not absolute. Rumors are rumors because they are unverified, yet some can’t be said to be nonexistent. The Exterminating-Immortal Sword beneath Beiming Land was also just a rumor before," Qin Yue said, walking not far from Mo Wangchen.

"I believe in the existence of Immortals," Mo Wangchen said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Wu Lingfeng and others looked over in confusion, "Why?"

Mo Wangchen shook his head without explaining. What are Immortals, after all?

Immortals, with endless lifespans, equal to the heavens, unbreakable through the ages. Whether such eternal beings really existed in the world, Mo Wangchen didn’t dare guarantee. But the "Heavenly Vault Eye" that took Yaoyao away, its cultivation, was probably far beyond any Great Emperor.

If he had to say, perhaps that was an Immortal.

Moreover, that "Heavenly Vault Eye" had an agreement with Ling Changkong ten thousand years ago, and the barrier in Tiannan was also sealed by "it." If it weren’t for Immortals, what kind of being could have survived from the Ancient Era until now?

Even Ling Changkong, the Divine King of Tiannan’s Near Ancient, hailed as the strongest Great Emperor, couldn’t escape the ravages of time, eventually returning to dust.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a horrendous scream came from the crowd ahead, shocking everyone as they abruptly looked up.

Bang!

Only a dull explosion echoed. It was a middle-aged man, and to everyone’s astonishment, his body suddenly exploded, forming a mist of blood, dispersing with the wind.

"What happened?"

"Did someone make a move in secret?!"

In the face of this sudden scene, everyone’s faces changed, feeling chills in their hearts.

The Saint Venerable expert leading from the Haotian Sect scanned the surroundings and after a moment said, "No aura is hidden around. What happened just now?"

"J-Just now, while walking, my brother saw a piece of Exotic Grass and wanted to pull it out, but he couldn’t, even with all his strength, so he gave up. Just now, he was walking beside me, and his body exploded into a mist of blood without warning."

A middle-aged man’s voice trembled, cold fear inside him. A living person suddenly died beside him; it was too eerie.

"The Fallen Immortal Forest is full of perils. Don’t think that the Pills can guarantee safety. Remember not to harbor any greed. We are here for the Jiao Long!" Saint Heir Yu Zhi from the Haotian Sect said, frowning as he glanced around.

"Continue moving!" the Saint Venerable expert also said.

Very soon, they set off again, but because of what had just happened, everyone was now on high alert.

Roar!

Another half an hour passed, and suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from ahead.

"Ancient Alien Species!"

The expression of the Saint Venerable expert changed, and he was the first to take to the skies. Looking ahead from afar, they saw an Alien Beast charging wildly with a sharp horn on its head.

"Everyone, be on guard!" Yu Zhi also shouted, with radiance shining all over him.
