Chapter 50: Chen Changsheng Spat Upon, The Whereabouts of the Bronze Ancient Palace
The subtle adversarial relationship between the White Witches and Black Witches left Chen Changsheng somewhat perplexed.
To understand the truth clearly, Chen Changsheng immediately asked the High Priest and the leader of the Black Witch Tribe to explain everything.
After understanding the whole truth of the matter, Chen Changsheng spoke up.
“The White Witches and Black Witches were originally one family. It’s only because you can’t bear to live anymore that you drove your tribesmen out.”
“That’s correct, according to the teachings left by our witch ancestors.”
“Whenever the Witch Clan encounters an unsolvable difficulty, the tribe needs to be split into two parts; one strong and one weak, living separately without interference.”
Facing the response from the leader of the Black Witch Tribe, Chen Changsheng was momentarily speechless.
This method was undoubtedly the most useful for preserving the race.
However, it was also the most inhumane.
Watching one’s own kin and friends d*e was undoubtedly the cruelest punishment in the world.
Thinking about this, Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked, “Judging by your appearance, you should have split not long ago.”
“What kind of situation led you to make such a choice?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the leader of the Black Witch Tribe hesitated before speaking.
“Although life in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains is hard, our Witch Clan could still barely survive.”
“But three years ago, a Thunder Beast came to our territory and continuously compressed our living space.”
“If we weren’t on the brink of d*ath, how could we have driven our own people out?”
“Thunder Beast?”
Upon hearing this name, Chen Changsheng immediately began to think in his mind.
Soon, he quickly found information about the Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast was a powerful creature among the Beast Clan. Although there were some similarities between the Beast Clan and the Demon Clan in essence, they were not entirely the same.
The Demon Clan was formed from ordinary beasts transforming, while the Beast Clan was a race that had been left over from ancient times.
They had stronger bloodlines than the Demon Clan and possessed various incredible innate divine powers.
Furthermore, unlike the Demon Clan which was close to humans, the Beast Clan harbored extreme hatred towards humans and viewed the Demon Clan as a disgrace to beasts.
Because they believed that the beast form was the strongest form in this world, abandoning the beast form to become human was a betrayal of their race.
After organizing the information about the Beast Clan, Chen Changsheng said, “The strength of the Beast Clan is undeniable. I doubt the Witch Clan alone could resist it.”
“How about this? I will help you find a new habitat. In return, would you help me with something?”
“Thank you, Divine Messenger.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the High Priest happily agreed.
Given the current situation, the White Witch Clan would inevitably be annihilated. Having a chance to avoid this, the High Priest was naturally delighted.
However, upon hearing this news, the leader of the Black Witch Clan was not very pleased.
“Divine Messenger, you may not fully understand the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.”
“This place is filled with miasma and venomous insects and ferocious beasts. Finding a suitable habitat is harder than climbing to heaven.”
“It depends on human effort. Let’s find out first whether we can or not.”
“If we truly can’t find one, then we’ll follow the original ancestral rules.”
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, the leader of the Black Witch Clan could only nod in agreement.
After all, he did not want to see the White Witch Clan perish.
“May I ask, Divine Messenger, do you have any other matters to attend to?”
“Our Witch Clan will assist you to the fullest extent.”
“Nothing much, I need to find something—a Bronze Ancient Palace. You should have seen it, right?”
Upon saying this, the faces of the witches instantly changed.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng asked, “What’s wrong with the Bronze Ancient Palace?”
“Divine Messenger, the Bronze Ancient Palace we know was originally our Witch Clan’s place of worship.”
“But three years ago, the Thunder Beast took the Bronze Ancient Palace away. We couldn’t match the Thunder Beast.”
Seeing the difficulty on the leader’s face, Chen Changsheng immediately understood their intentions.
They must have thought that he wanted them to retrieve the Bronze Ancient Palace.
Thinking about this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “As long as I know where the Bronze Ancient Palace is, I will take care of the rest.”

“Do any of you know where the Thunder Beast is?”
“I want to talk to it. After all, not all Beast Clan members are stubborn.”
“I know where the Thunder Beast is, I’ll take you there!”
Chen Changsheng had just finished speaking when a young man with a simple appearance stepped forward.
Seeing the young man step forward, the leader of the Black Witch Clan immediately scolded him.
“A-Li, go back!”
“A child shouldn’t interrupt adults.”
Facing the leader’s reprimand, the young man did not retreat but loudly said, “Father, I’m already sixteen years old. I just completed my coming-of-age ceremony last month. I’m no longer a child.”
“I want to help the Witch Clan. I don’t want the Grand Priest and others to d*e.”
“Only I know the situation in the Water Moon Cave Heaven. I’m the best guide.”
Hearing A-Li’s words, the leader’s lips twitched, but he ultimately decided to let him go.
Meeting the Thunder Beast was extremely dangerous.
He was both a father and the leader of the Witch Clan, and he had to treat his clan members equally.
Thinking about this, the leader gritted his teeth and said, “Since you insist, then take the Divine Messenger to the Water Moon Cave Heaven.”
“But remember, the Divine Messenger doesn’t know much about the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. You must protect him well.”
“Don’t worry, Father. I won’t let anything happen to the Divine Messenger.”
After saying this, A-Li excitedly approached Chen Changsheng.
“Divine Messenger, I’m ready. When do we leave?”
“Now.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng grabbed A-Li and disappeared from the spot.
…
“Divine Messenger, let’s not fly too high, or we might be attacked by ferocious beasts.”
A-Li guided Chen Changsheng while giving him advice on avoiding various dangers.
It had to be said, A-Li’s suggestions were quite useful.
Throughout the journey, Chen Changsheng encountered many powerful ferocious beasts. Some were so troublesome even for him.
The surroundings moved rapidly, and A-Li naturally admired Chen Changsheng’s formidable strength.
“Divine Messenger, you can help the Witch Clan escape their predicament, right?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “I can only help you in certain aspects. Whether you can escape your predicament depends on your own efforts.”
“On this front, seeking help from others is always inferior to helping oneself.”
“Moreover, for you, I am just a passer-by. I won’t stay here forever, and in the future, you will have to rely on yourselves.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng stopped in front of a large cave.
Straightening his clothes, Chen Changsheng bowed and said, “Human cultivator Chen Changsheng requests an audience!”
“Whoosh!”
“Slap!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a pool of unknown liquid poured over Chen Changsheng, drenching him thoroughly.
Immediately after, a huge head emerged from the cave.
Looking at the unknown liquid on his body, Chen Changsheng was stunned.
If he hadn’t misjudged, this should be saliva.
“Wretched ant, get lost!”
“Slap!”
Another huge glob of saliva descended, and Chen Changsheng was drenched again.
After a moment’s hesitation, Chen Changsheng silently wiped the saliva off his face and directly left with A-Li.
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s expressionless face, A-Li cautiously asked.
“Divine Messenger, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but there’s something I need to tell you. I temporarily don’t plan to leave.”
“When I deal with this Thunder Beast, I will leave the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.”
