Chapter 603: Four Directions Continent, Expedition Begins
Facing Ma Hu’s problem, Ma Ling’er pursed her lips and said.
“I understand what you mean.”
“The choice is not about right or wrong, but about walking steadfastly and with heart.”
“That’s exactly it,” Ma Hu nodded and said, “Back then we chose our race, chose the path of abandoning emotions.”
“In some ways, the title of traitor will forever stick to us.”
“But so what? We have never regretted, because we have been true to our own hearts.”
“Nangong Xing, as the main culprit of this upheaval, deserves to d*e ten thousand deaths for what he did, but he has never doubted his own choices.”
“Just on that point alone, Nangong Xing deserves the name of a heavenly prodigy, it’s just a pity that his fortune was poor.”
As he spoke, Ma Hu reached out and patted Ma Ling’er’s head.
“Girl, you are happy, because living in this era, you don’t need to make the choice of cutting off emotions.”
“Truly liking someone who is wrong and doesn’t like you is indeed a mess, a troublesome matter.”
“But no matter how things turn out, they have already passed, and what you should grasp is the future and the present.”
“I don’t believe my daughter Ma Hu would be someone who regrets after the fact.”
Hearing this, Ma Ling’er raised her head firmly and said.
“Dad, I have never regretted falling in love with Nangong Xing, and I don’t regret walking a different path from him.”
“Perhaps I won’t forget him for a while in the future, but I will never change my path for him, even if he is alive.”
Facing Ma Ling’er’s response, Ma Hu smiled contentedly.
“I’m relieved you can see this clearly. Take some time to rest now, because you may not have time to rest in the future.”
…
The upheaval ended.
Apart from some unrest among the high ranks of the Heavenly Court, the entire Eight Desolates Nine Domains was peaceful. If not for the notice issued by the Heavenly Court, people below wouldn’t know such an event had occurred.
During this period of leisure, the Heavenly Court hastened to organize its troops, and Xu Yao and others intensified their cultivation.
Every so often, the Eight Desolates Nine Domains would experience a Thunder Tribulation.
This situation lasted for three years.
Three years later, the Heavenly Army set out, with millions of troops flying towards the Void in a grand procession.
This expedition nearly drained all the strength of the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.
…
In the Void.
“Master, isn’t this commotion a bit too big?”
Watching the scene in the distance, Jian Fei couldn’t help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “This is nothing, the real spectacle hasn’t come yet.”
“You will encounter much larger scenes in the future; I hope you won’t be scared stiff when that happens.”
“Master, you’re underestimating us.”
“No matter how grand the scene, we won’t be scared stiff.”
Glancing at the confident Jian Fei, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “As observers, you won’t be scared stiff.”
“What if someone uses this scene to capture you?”
Everyone: ??
With these words, shock flashed across everyone’s faces, and Xu Yao even laughed bitterly.
“Master, please don’t scare us. Do we deserve enemies to go to such lengths to capture us?”
“Now we don’t, but I don’t know about the future. After all, that’s how they caught me in the first place.”
“Similarly, the Heavenly Mandate Holders on their side were also captured by me.”
…
“Your fame will grow as you defeat more heavenly prodigies, and your presence in your enemies’ minds will become increasingly significant.”
“As long as you survive, you will eventually enjoy such treatment.”
Everyone: “…”
For some reason, hearing your description, we feel a little excited.
Ignoring the lost-in-thought group, Chen Changsheng turned and walked in the opposite direction from the Heavenly Army.
Seeing this, Gui Qianjie stepped forward with a smile and said, “Master, aren’t we going to set out with the Heavenly Army?”
“I didn’t give you permission to call me ‘Master.'”
“Everyone else calls you that, except me and my senior brother, which is quite out of place.”
“Besides, such a wise and mighty person like Master would never be petty.”
Looking at Gui Qianjie’s cheerful expression, Chen Changsheng pinched her face and said.
“You’re good at being cute, and I happen to fall for it.”
“Fine, if you want to call me that, go ahead.”
“Hehe!”
“You’re the best, Master!”
“So where does Master plan to take us?”
“We’ll take a shortcut and penetrate deep into enemy territory before you gain fame. We’ll hit them hard first.”
After saying this, the figures of Chen Changsheng and his companions gradually disappeared into the Void.
…
Another world.
“Pfft!”
Jian Fei spat out a mouthful of bl**d and fell to the ground heavily, while the others were also seriously injured.
“Master, what kind of path are you looking for? Just now I almost lost my life.”
Xu Yao circulated her vitality to regenerate her severed limb. Her right hand had vanished completely.
“It was a small path, danger is normal.”
“The beings attacking us are Void Beasts, most of which live in the gaps between worlds.”
“When I crossed the Void with the Phoenix Emperor, we encountered even stronger ones, and there were ten of them at once.”
“If measured by our cultivation level, each of those ten Void Beasts would be at the Ninth Rank of Immortal Kings.”
“That’s why only Heavenly Mandate Holders can cross the Void, because without great strength, crossing the Void means certain d*ath.”
“Moreover, large-scale trans-world crossings are not allowed by the rules; there must be a Heavenly Mandate as a bridge.”
Speaking, Chen Changsheng pulled out a sharp claw from his chest.
Obviously, even Chen Changsheng could not avoid all dangers in the Void.
“Huff~”
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Zhang Zhen opened his eyes and said.
“We’ve already come here, shouldn’t you tell us the name of this place?”
“Of course, this place is called the Four Directions Continent. The four strongest forces in the east, south, west, and north are stationed here.”
“Their cultivation systems are different from the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, but over the past twenty thousand years, the Four Directions Continent has gradually converted to the Sea of Suffering system.”
“So as long as you don’t attract too much attention, you won’t be exposed in the short term.”
Listening to this, Ma Ling’er, who was healing, asked curiously, “Master, if they have their own cultivation system, why convert to the Sea of Suffering system?”
“Because the Sea of Suffering system is really powerful, and that’s why the name of the Emperor Huangtian became famous.”
“However, there is one thing you should be careful of: although they have not cultivated the Sea of Suffering system for long, it doesn’t mean their strength is weak.”
“Most of the heavenly prodigies on the Four Directions Continent cultivate both systems together. Their Sea of Suffering system might not be as strong as yours, but their original system is unpredictable.”
