long chen felt piercing pain in his head as though it was about to explode. as for the beast hide and brush in his hands, they both exploded. strange energy was blocking long chen from remembering the diagram, and it also refused to allow long chen to record it.
“there’s definitely something wrong here. whatever this diagram is, its origin must be extraordinary.” long chen held his head in pain. looking at the diagram, his gaze became even more fiery.
although he didn’t know what this diagram could be used for, his intuition told him that anything that could be carved at this location was definitely not some random picture. there had to be some secret behind this.
“i must think of some way to get it.” long chen clenched his fists. this kind of mysterious diagram was something he had to obtain. but he couldn’t copy it with a brush or record it with a photographic jade. his memory of it also disappeared in the blink of an eye. what was he supposed to do?
his head was still hurting intensely. he hadn’t yet recovered. and this was him. if it was someone with weaker spiritual strength, their soul would probably have instantly dissipated.
“let’s try it.”
long chen suddenly had a thought. with his gaze on the diagram, his mind entered the primal chaos space. he gathered a few medicinal ingredients. according to the diagram in front of him, he began to plant their seeds.
buzz!!
incomparable pain wracked his head while a terrifying kind of energy charged into the primal chaos space through some unknown means. long chen turned pale. if the primal chaos bead was destroyed, he really would be screwed.
boom!
suddenly, the primal chaos bead trembled and an incomparably powerful pressure descended. the encroaching energy was instantly blown apart.
not only that, but the pain in long chen’s head also disappeared. long chen was delighted. the primal chaos bead had actually suppressed it. he hastily used seeds to replicate the diagram. because he was using his spiritual strength, he finished replicating it in just an instant.
suddenly, a heaven-shaking explosion erupted. long chen was startled to see that the huge diagram on the corner of the gate actually exploded. a supreme power sent long chen flying.
it was with great effort that long chen managed to stabilize his body. he saw that the corner of the gate had disappeared. it was like it hadn’t been able to endure the primal chaos bead’s force.
long chen’s heart pounded wildly. just what was the primal chaos bead? not only had it been able to resist the diagram’s power, but it had even caused it to explode.
just now, he had been too nervous, but now that he thought back to what had just happened, it seemed as if the primal chaos bead had been provoked and so it had automatically released its own power.
he hastily looked inside the primal chaos space and saw that everything was calm. that made him relax. the diagram he had made of the seeds was still present.
in order to make it more dependable, long chen tried to draw the diagram. this time, everything was normal. no outside force tried to stop him.
once he had drawn the diagram, he carefully looked at it. it was an irregular octagon. eight paths converged toward the center, and at the center, there was a small spot. it looked as if eight things were converging at the center.
long chen had used his own efforts to completely destroy any diplomatic ties between the righteous and corrupt paths. even long chen hadn’t realized that he had such a great ability.
following the large, broken path, long chen continued forward. ancient ruins appeared, ruins that were battered and crushed. it was unknown how many years had passed for it to be so full of such desolate air. but considering how huge the ruins were, it should be the first place that ancient disciples had stopped to adjust themselves to the immemorial path. perhaps this place had been used to get disciples adapted to the environment.
passing through the ruins, a smooth path appeared before him, but after several miles, the path ahead was severed by an abyss. long chen decided to give up on this path and just continue forward.
this place was just the entrance of the immemorial path. other than the gate, he hadn’t found anything of value. if he wanted to understand the immemorial path, if he wanted to find opportunities, he would need to go deeper.
“oh?” an abyss suddenly appeared before long chen. but this abyss was different from the one before. it was over a hundred miles long, and space was constantly twisting. long chen sensed great danger from that distorted space.
he randomly flung in a low grade enchanted sword. when it struck that distorted space, it directly exploded.
“i can’t pass here. i’ll have to go around.” long chen shook his head. although his physical body was strong, he had no intention of trying to barge through here. he would rather find another path.
the immemorial path was like a broken jigsaw puzzle. if he couldn’t advance from ahead, he could just go around. it was just that he didn’t know how far he would have to detour. but even if it was far, it was better than taking this risk.
that was especially true since there was nothing to entice him to take this risk. it was definitely not worth it. long chen began to travel along the edge of his current block. he found another spot where the abyss was much narrower and he didn’t feel that sensation of danger.
long chen felt like he was traveling through a maze. it was extremely infuriating, but he was also helpless to do anything about it.
after a while, a large mountain range appeared in front of him. it was mostly covered in shrubbery instead of trees, and the land had plenty of small mounds on it that made it look like a cemetery.
“these mounds are placed according to a set pattern. they aren’t natural. is this place a trial?” long chen hastily looked at his map.
as expected, he saw a faint color here. if he hadn’t looked carefully, he wouldn’t have noticed. it seemed the corrupt path’s disciples were extremely crafty and didn’t want people to notice this spot even if they managed to steal their maps.
the immemorial path was huge, and it was unknown how many trials and ancient secrets it was hiding. some places had been found, but the majority were still secrets waiting for someone to find them.
even if a trial region had been found, there were only a few people that were capable of finding the secrets within it. this place was filled with unknowns and dangers.
stepping onto this land, a desolate air of death assaulted him. it was extremely uncomfortable. after just a few steps, he noticed that there were already footprints here.
he followed these footprints to a certain hill where he could see a large cave around thirty meters high. there were two large fangs at its entrance that made it look like a mouth.
there were three large words written above the entrance. they should be immortal characters, but long chen didn’t recognize what they meant.
although he didn’t know the meaning of them, he knew this place should be a trial region. he carefully walked into the cave. before he could get used to the dark, a sword stabbed toward long chen’s back out of nowhere.
blood splashed!
