Chapter 396: Chapter 274: Beast Attack_2

Yan Xiaobao passed through the tunnel, grabbing a cloak from his storage stone, demanding Sun to put it on. After donning the cloak, the five of them returned to Cave’s End and the forest where Sun had once lived, spending the rest of eternity there.

The preparation to pass through the gate back to Cave’s End took longer than expected.

Yan Xiaobao understood that the existence of the Dragon Slayer Army members was something they could not reveal, and ensured everyone wore cloaks that could conceal their appearances and cultivation bases.

"I’m really sorry, Yun," Yan Xiaobao said for the third time that day, patting his friend on the head. "We cannot let them recognize us, and you’re too conspicuous."

Upon hearing this, Sha Yun could only nod idly, standing patiently by the door alongside the oversized plant she had left behind. Wang Julong knew that the plant was as identifiable as Sha Yun herself.

When Yan Xiaobao knocked on the door, the newly formed group consisted of four individuals, all draped in black cloaks, concealing even the slightest strand of hair.

The guards were completely stunned upon opening the door and seeing the four figures walk through.

Initially, they thought it was the Hui Clan and its returning faction. However, after pondering deeply, they realized this wasn’t the case. Among their entourage was a Snake Woman, and these newcomers did not seem to have tails.

Hui Yue passed through the door but didn’t head back to the end of the cave. Instead, he led his party along the cave walls, taking turns. This route required more time but also increased their chances of avoiding recognition.

Watching the departing experts from behind, a guard abruptly set down his spear and shield and dashed toward the town center, a growl breaking the silence. He was running to report the arrival of new cultivators in the caves.

As they traversed familiar surroundings, Sun’s face carried complex emotions—she felt a certain happiness about returning to her home but was simultaneously disheartened by her uncertain future prospects.

Yan Xiaobao understood her sentiments, yet he also recognized that the Dragon Clan was unlikely to harbor benevolent intentions. With this awareness, no trace of guilt appeared on the pale-haired boy’s face.

Seeing the resolve in Yan Xiaobao’s eyes, Sun smiled faintly before beginning to speak.

"Once, a long time ago, this was nothing but an abyss. Four Divine Beasts descended together, hoping to find a place to settle down," she began her tale, her voice gentle yet melodious, weaving through the three individuals walking home.

"When this land was created, the Divine Beasts used five elements to craft the current plane. The laws of earth, metal, fire, and water are our oldest laws." She paused briefly before continuing. "These five elements were so powerful that even now, everything born into this world is influenced by these laws. You may call them affinities, but the truth is that as long as life is born in this world, life originates from the law of life, which in turn is derived from the elemental laws. Everyone stems from these elements, and by observing a person’s affinity, you can discern which element birthed them."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao halted in his tracks, his ice-blue eyes gazing curiously at Sun. The earlier revelation had helped him realize what the laws were, but he now knew that all he understood was purely the basics.

Now these laws were explaining something that had long circled his mind. This included the elements.

Although Yan Xiaobao understood that everyone had a fundamental affinity, he didn’t fully comprehend why they possessed it. What caused them to acquire such immense power?

The answer was simple: to be born in this world, people adhered to the laws of life and death.

These two laws were like the laws of Sun, emerging after the elements crafted by the Divine Beasts of ancient laws.

"These laws are partitioned in this way," Sun explained, seeing the hunger for knowledge reflected in Yan Xiaobao’s eyes. "You have the ancient laws, which are the five elements. These five were directly created by the Divine Beasts themselves. After the ancient laws came the original laws. We were made by the Divine Beasts, but unlike the ancient laws, we were not created with our physical forms; instead, we were born from the laws themselves."

"Below us, after the original laws, are the basic laws. There are many of them. The seasons you encountered earlier are basic laws. These laws were also created by the Divine Beasts, but this time, they were produced by the original laws instead of the ancient ones.

"To be born into this world means you come from our Ancestors. This land was forged from their bodies, and every inhabitant here lives a life gifted by those predecessors."

These words brought clarity to Yan Xiaobao, yet at the same time, they left him bewildered as he considered the five elemental flames within him. Had he received the life energy of all five elements? How could this be?

A thought suddenly struck Yan Xiaobao. When Lan Feng described the laws mentioned by predecessors, it somewhat confused him, as Yan Xiaobao knew "Ancestors" referred to the Divine Beasts, and Lan Feng often called them "body fathers" or "Divine Beasts," but when Yan Xiaobao raised this question, all he received was a sorrowful smile from Sun, accompanied by silence from Lan Feng and Little Dragon.

Little Dragon had been remarkably quiet throughout the dungeon, as had Lan Feng. This made Yan Xiaobao doubt whether their true purpose here was training, or if the two Divine Beasts had other intentions.

Hui Yue sighed deeply, knowing that no matter how many questions he asked, Lan Feng wouldn’t answer, nor would Little Dragon.

Sun had offered them incredibly vital information about the laws, and Hui Yue was mindful not to come across as greedy.

Before long, the group entered a forest stretching across the entire field, and they quickly returned to the clearing they had left during the earlier season.

The remainder of the journey was quiet; no one exchanged a word, instead absorbed in contemplation over Sun’s revelations. Although it was insufficient to bring about another breakthrough on the topic, it still provided Deng Wu and Wang Julong with a fundamental understanding of the laws, while broadening Yan Xiaobao’s basic comprehension.

The world was vast, filled with countless aspects unknown to Xu Yue. His journey wasn’t merely about growing stronger; it also involved shaping his character and expanding his knowledge.

Yan Xiaobao was living his second life, yet in his first, he had been a young man who never faced hardships. Upon reentering a world where strength was paramount, Yan Xiaobao struggled to adapt; nevertheless, with the help he had received from Lan Feng, he ultimately felt superior.

It was during his duel with Wang Julong, when he first realized he wasn’t the greatest genius after all, that the desire to become the strongest was ignited within him.

As he recalled his past, Yan Xiaobao was now considered a youth, though still younger than he had been in his previous life. This made him realize just how different this new world was, as in his old world, he would have been labeled a butcher, but here, it was an existence where power was coveted.

His face held a distant expression as he recalled his past, memories of life and death flooding his mind with a deep excitement that stirred his blood. Yan Xiaobao craved these battles. He yearned to test himself. He sought improvement. He aspired to stand atop the peak, carving his name into the heavens, engraving it onto the earth.

Sun had said that her path had been predetermined at birth, but Yan Xiaobao was not bound by laws. He was human, with the right to choose his own path in life. In the end, while listening to Sun, Yan Xiaobao understood: he could become whoever he wished to be. It was all up to him, something others could never control, but he would go further.

Determination filled Yan Xiaobao’s face, his icy eyes burning with an Eternal Flame from within, as a grim smile took shape on his face. If he wanted to be strong, all he had to do was cultivate. If he intended to be the strongest, he would need to cultivate far beyond anyone else.
