Beast Swamp.
Zhou Shen was still moving forward while hiding his Qi, being extremely cautious. Thanks to his bloodline ability of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, he managed to turn danger into safety several times.
The tiny Spirit Rhinoceros Insect he kept encountering was undoubtedly a spy of the Demon Clan.
Whenever he encountered the Spirit Rhinoceros insect, his heart would throb, and his body would break out in a cold sweat. Zhou Shen was certain that this insect was associated with the Beast Swamp Demon Clan.
Of course, once he became aware of the danger, Zhou Shen’s journey was relatively smooth.
However, just a few days after being safe, Zhou Shen suddenly felt a premonition of impending disaster that caused him an immense feeling of anxiety.
What on earth was happening?
Faced with this situation, Zhou Shen decided to stay put to investigate the source of his uneasiness.
Zhou Shen felt somewhat fortunate that he had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm. Along with the Spiritual Device Armor refined for him by Ancestor, he believed he would stand a chance against any danger unless it was out of his reach.
At the moment when Zhou Shen predicted danger, Cultivators who charged into the Beast Swamp from Longevity Immortal City had begun to encounter Demonic Beasts to a lesser or greater extent.
However, after the contact, everyone discovered that the Demonic Beasts in the Beast Swamp were much stronger than recorded in the classics.
The Extraterrestrial Immortal Dynasty Monks were somewhat puzzled, but the cultivators from the Seeking Truth Lineage and East Victory Immortal Dynasty clearly understood the reason.
As the Ancient Oasis had previously descended, these Demonic Beasts were naturally boosted in strength. However, this kind of opportunity required time to digest. Despite the growth of the Demonic Beasts’ strength, it was still extremely limited because not much time had passed since then.
Therefore, faced with the slaughter of the Human Clan Cultivators, the Demonic Beasts were defenseless, and large numbers were killed.
With the killing restarting in the Beast Swamp, the bloody atmosphere permeated, and the smell of blood could be smelled up to ten li against the wind. However, under the deadly situation, no one cared about this.
The Seeking Truth Lineage Cultivators did not start a massacre indiscriminately. Instead, after landing in the Beast Swamp, they began to contact each other with Communication Jade Slips, discussing where to gather.
The cultivators from Lingge, the Capital City of East Victory Immortal Dynasty, took the same action. Today, the cultivators of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty were somewhat excited.
Because Feng Yuan and Dao Lord Kaiyuan were coming!
Having made a breakthrough in their closed-door cultivation, Feng Yuan and the others had reached the Refining Void Realm. While they used to be called Senior Brother, today they should be referred to as Dao Lords.
This times, most of the cultivators who came from Lingge were Pride disciples from various paths, and their feelings about this were somewhat complex.
However, most of them didn’t remain downcast for very long. The morale rose again. If Feng Yuan and the others could successfully breakthrough, why couldn’t they?
In this Golden Era, it was time for them, the cultivators, to strive for power.
Under these complex emotions, Feng Yuan and Kaiyuan Child finally arrived and met up with the cultivators of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty.
With an expressionless look on their faces, Feng Yuan and the others gestured with a wave of their arms after confirming that most people had arrived at the rally point.
“Let’s go!”
The remaining people could catch up with them according to the markers they left.
This time they came to the Beast Swamp, Feng Yuan and the others were better prepared. After all, they had suffered losses in the Beast Swamp last time.
Therefore, this time they brought quite a few powerful items. However, their primary goal this time was not the Demon Clan, but the opportunities of the Golden Age’s Chosen.
The Talent Road was open, and if they didn’t take a look, wouldn’t they regret it later?
…
Longevity Immortal City.
Liang Family Mansion.
The Zi Zai Independent Cultivator had started enjoying playing chess with Liang Sheng these past few days, mainly because his disciple never ceased to surprise and impress him. He felt as if his child was growing up.
“Disciple, all sorts of talents are now entering the stage. What are your plans from here?” the Zi Zai Independent Cultivator asked curiously, to which Liang Sheng replied with a slight smile.
“If only human talents participate, it would merely be internal competition. So how can we talk about the once-in-a-million-years Golden Era? Hence, if there’s to be a Talent Struggle, there ought to be more supporting roles.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, the Zi Zai Independent Cultivator was slightly startled. He clearly understood his disciple’s idea, but isn’t this a too risky gamble, he wondered. Aren’t they afraid of things going out of control?
Taking into account that if the Human Clan’s Great Mights don’t make a move, the Demon Clan isn’t so easy to deal with—especially considering the concealed strength of the Demon Clan, which is incredibly strong.
Previously, the Demon Clan’s hidden strength was not known to the Human Clan. Combined with the fact that it wasn’t a time of great contention, the Great Mights could freely take action, so naturally, the Demon Clan was not to be feared.
However, now is the time for the Heaven Talent Struggle, as per the Sacred Land’s Order, the Great Mights can’t act freely. Even Refinement Void Dao Monarch would have to wait for the right opportunity; hence the situation is naturally different.
So it’s better not to provoke the Demon Clan now, wondering why his disciple still insists on doing this? Isn’t it a bit arrogant?
The Zi Zai Independent Cultivator was not aware of Liang Sheng’s plans, but he had a premonition that big things were going to happen soon, which might even affect the arrangements of the Sacred Land’s Chosen Path.
However, the Zi Zai Independent Cultivator wasn’t worried about this, but rather he was somewhat excited, his eyes shining brightly.
Those old immortals of the Sacred Land, I may not be your match, but today my disciple is entirely within the rules. Let’s see how you’ll handle it.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Do whatever you want, Disciple. If anyone doesn’t follow the rules and dares to act recklessly, your Master will take care of it. You don’t need to worry at all.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Liang Sheng was genuinely moved. He had expected that Zi Zai Independent Cultivator would not hinder his plan, but he didn’t expect that the latter would strongly support him without even hearing how he would execute his plan.
It can only be said that Zi Zai Independent Cultivator’s protection for him is indeed worthy of their Master-Disciple relationship. Just like Jin Quanxiu in the past, Liang Sheng had fully recognized Zi Zai Independent Cultivator as his Master.
