Chapter 164: The Disappearing People, Chen Changsheng Leaves Underworld Forest
Hearing Bai Ze’s words, Chen Changsheng replied straightforwardly.
“I’m not bored!”
“I think staying here is quite nice; why go out?”
Upon hearing this, the corner of Bai Ze’s mouth twitched even more violently.
“Not possible! A carefree divine beast like me doesn’t have the right to say such things; what qualifications do you have?”
“You have experienced so much outside; hasn’t your heart been affected at all?”
“Why should I be affected? As long as my state of mind is sufficient, everything can turn beautiful.”
“As the saying goes, in spring there are blooming flowers and in autumn the moon, in summer there’s a cool breeze and in winter snow; if there are no trivial matters weighing on one’s mind, then it is a good time in the human world.”
“As long as you don’t shackled yourself with constraints, every place in the world can be an immortal realm.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, Bai Ze fell silent for a moment.
“They are not like you; old age and d*ath are things they cannot avoid.”
“Count for yourself how long you’ve been here.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Changsheng’s expression changed from a smile to calmness.
Having arrived in the Underworld Forest, he had fought for eighty days, slept for thirty days, and chopped tree for one hundred eighty days.
He then slept again for one hundred eighty days, followed by spending seventy days improving the Underworld Forest.
He had been here for a full four thousand one hundred thirty days.
If not for sealing himself with the Longevity bl**d Stone, some of his old acquaintances should have reached their end by now.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng stood up and said, “You make a good point; I have indeed been here for quite a long time. It’s time to go out and take a look.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng walked to the edge of the lake.
“The environment here, if you deduce it in this direction, will surely become more perfected, perhaps even turning into a complete world.”
“I have to leave for a while for some matters, and I might not be able to assist you further.”
“When I have time in the future, I will certainly come to see you.”
Upon hearing this, some tree roots gently wrapped around Chen Changsheng’s hand, as if they did not want him to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “I know you’re reluctant, but in this world, there is no banquet that does not end.”
“Our meeting was fate, and so is our parting.”
“Moreover, I still owe you a promise, which means we will see each other again.”
Upon hearing this, the tree roots entwined around Chen Changsheng’s right hand slowly loosened. A green leaf floated down from the small tree and landed in Chen Changsheng’s hand.
“This leaf can guide you to find me. If you have time, remember to come see me.”
Feeling the spiritual sense conveyed by the “small tree,” Chen Changsheng grinned.
“It’s a promise!”
“By the way, I have a friend who is also injured; the situation is similar to that of this foolish dog.”
“But he is just an ordinary person, with no strength at all. Can you save him?”
As soon as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, two drops of crystalline liquid gathered above the sapling.
“Crack!”
A branch automatically snapped off, transforming into a wooden bottle.
The liquid was contained in the wooden bottle and then handed to Chen Changsheng.
“This is the essence of all things; one drop is for saving your friend, and the other drop is for keeping you alive.”
“Additionally, this wooden bottle is made from my body; any plant placed inside can maintain vitality.”
“When you come again one day, you must bring various seeds for me.”
“Of course, I will definitely bring you seeds from around the world.”
After making their final farewells, a circular light portal appeared in front of Chen Changsheng.
Looking at the light portal, Chen Changsheng did not hesitate and directly jumped in.
Little Black, who had long been yearning to leave, leaped in with the speed of lightning.
……
“Bang!”
Little Black landed awkwardly on a small mound, while Chen Changsheng descended smoothly.
Looking at the outside world, Little Black rolled over and stood up, then exclaimed excitedly, “Chen Changsheng, where is this?”
“Did we really come out?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng glanced around and said, “We have indeed left the Underworld Forest, but where we are, I’m not sure.”
“Let’s find someone to ask.”
“That smelly brat Wu Li actually dared to laugh at me while I was sleeping.”
“When I find him, just wait and see how I deal with him!”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng chose a random direction and flew off with Little Black.

……
“This… this is Black Wind Mountain!”
A wolf demon was pinned under Bai Ze’s paw.
Facing the divine beast Bai Ze, the small wolf demon had no chance to resist at all.
“What is Black Wind Mountain? I’ve never heard of it!”
Upon hearing this name, Bai Ze chose to ask Chen Changsheng.
After all, this guy has too much knowledge in his head.
“Let me think. Black Wind Mountain seems to be a place on the border of the Western Continent.”
“If I remember correctly, this place should be over twenty thousand miles away from the Purple House Sacred Ground.”
“This is indeed the Western Continent; no wonder I haven’t seen any human clan after flying for half a day.”
Saying this, Bai Ze kicked the wolf demon away.
“You can go; don’t let today’s events leak out, or else be careful for your life!”
“Rest assured, I won’t say a word.”
Faced with Bai Ze’s threat, the wolf demon hurriedly made an oath.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled, threw a herb to the wolf demon, and then took Bai Ze and flew away.
Looking at the fragrant spiritual medicine in hand and glancing at the figures of one person and one beast leaving, the wolf demon murmured, “What are these two seniors looking for in the Purple House Sacred Ground?”
“Didn’t the Purple House Sacred Ground fly up eight hundred years ago?”
However, this question did not trouble the wolf demon for long, as this was not something he should concern himself with.
What he should care about now is the thousand-year-old spiritual herb in his hand.
Such a thing might not even be found in a lifetime!
“Mom, I met an immortal!”
The wolf demon happily ran off into the distance holding the spiritual herb.
……
Central Courtyard.
Looking at the empty hall, Chen Changsheng’s brow furrowed.
They’re gone!
They have all disappeared!
The three Sacred Grounds of the Central Courtyard have vanished!
During the journey from the Western Continent to the Central Courtyard, Chen Changsheng gradually noticed something was odd.
He had already stepped into the territory of the Purple House Sacred Ground, yet he had not seen anyone from the Purple House Sacred Ground.
With this confusion, Chen Changsheng went to a human clan city to investigate.
But the news he received was something Chen Changsheng could not accept.
Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Huangtian Wu Li had led the three Sacred Grounds of the Central Courtyard to fly up.
“Tsk tsk!”
“Emperor Huangtian, what a imposing title.”
“I think this name sounds better than ‘Heavenly Mandate’!”
“Chen Changsheng, your disciple is much more impressive than you.”
As Bai Ze wandered through the palace, he praised Wu Li’s talent.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng still had a grave expression, Bai Ze curiously asked, “What are you worried about?”
“Your disciple is better than you; should you not be happy?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Bai Ze and said seriously, “Wu Li is not someone who can abandon his attachments.”
“This land carries too many memories for him; no matter the circumstances, he would not leave.”
“But now he has left, and he took everyone with him.”
“This sufficiently indicates that something was wrong with the ascension eight hundred years ago, and he must have run into trouble.”
After hearing this, Bai Ze pondered for a moment and said, “It might not be as serious as you think. If it really were a problem, how could the Kunlun Sacred Ground also have disappeared?”
“I don’t know about that either, but haven’t you noticed?”
“Ever since the Sacred Forbidden Ground was driven out of the Central Courtyard by Wu Li, there has been no news of it.”
“If the Sacred Forbidden Ground hid out of fear of Wu Li, then how do we explain the Ancient Forbidden Ground? Why has it also vanished?”
As Bai Ze said this, he realized that the situation was quite problematic.
“So what do you plan to do?”
“Find them!”
“Whether dead or alive, I must confirm.”
