This kid had already read Battle Through the Heavens.
If he still went through with such actions, it would be deliberate.
And what difference would that make between him and a beast?
Looks like my judgment this time was correct. This little fellow is far more upright than Han Feng ever was.
Yao Lao nodded in satisfaction before continuing, "Your ability to uphold your principles is commendable.
However, the beast flame of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is extraordinary.
If you can obtain it, your Burning Technique will advance significantly.
Moreover, the accompanying Purple Crystal Source and Purple Spirit Crystal are treasures you cannot miss. So… we still need to follow them and see what happens."
After this incident, Yao Lao's fondness for Xiao Yan grew even stronger.
He had already resolved to spare no effort in helping this upright disciple rise rapidly.
With the foreknowledge provided by the Battle Through the Heavens novel, he believed that nurturing Xiao Yan would be far smoother than before.
Perhaps by the time the three-year agreement arrived, his disciple would already be able to march into the Yunlan Sect as a Dou Zun....kicking Nalan Yanran aside, cleaving Yun Ling in half, and tearing Yun Shan apart.
As for that hidden Protector Wu, he absolutely could not be spared.
The people of the Soul Palace deserved only death.
Come to think of it, Xiao Yan's chat group seemed to possess cross-world summoning capabilities.
If friends from other worlds could be invited to assist, that would be even better.
After all, once Protector Wu was killed, the Soul Palace would surely dispatch investigators.
If reinforcements were present, even Yao Lao himself would be much safer.
…
Time passed swiftly, and several days slipped by in the blink of an eye.
…
Perfect World.
After days of arduous travel, Zhu Chen and Huo Ling'er finally arrived at the Cangmang Mountains aboard their celestial carriage.
Deep within the Great Wilderness, the Cangmang Mountains were a place that normally required months of travel from the Fire Kingdom's capital.
At least, with Zhu Chen's current cultivation, such a journey would be impossible.
Fortunately, Huo Ling'er knew of a teleportation array within the Fire Kingdom that led directly to an ancient ruin on the outskirts of the Great Wilderness, near the Stone Kingdom.
Thanks to that array, they reached this desolate land teeming with ferocious beasts in only a few days.
Although the spiritual energy of the Great Wilderness was sparse, it was home to countless powerful ancient species.
Some of these creatures had even reached the Array Formation Realm.....or the terrifying Venerable Realm.
For instance, the Suanni that Shi Hao had slain in his early days was a top-tier Venerable-level predator.
Zhu Chen had only just broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm.
Even with the support of his primordial spirit avatar formed from Pangu's essence blood, he could at best contend with ancient species at the Inscription Realm.
Here, he dared not be arrogant.
After all, that drop of Pangu's essence blood had not yet been fully refined.
Still, he wasn't worried about drawing the attention of truly terrifying existences.
A real man knows when to advance—and when to retreat. If he couldn't win, couldn't he simply run?
As the owner of the chat group, he possessed the authority to traverse worlds with a single thought.
When Wang Lin, that infamous killing god, was hunted in his early years, he often hid within the Heavenly Reversal Pearl.
And Han Li—his sixth brother—had done much the same.
The brothers in the group were all excellent role models.
As group owner, Zhu Chen naturally had to follow their example.
"Zhu Chen, I've found the place you're looking for. It should be just ahead.
Cross that mountain, and we'll arrive…"
As Zhu Chen was thinking, Huo Ling'er approached with a map in hand.
Taking a closer look, Zhu Chen saw that the marked location was a massive lake.
Nearby was a faint village symbol....likely the ancestral land of the Stone Kingdom, Stone Village.
However, it seemed Stone Village had already relocated under the protection of the Willow God.
Upon arriving in the mountain range, they had already noticed signs of devastation.
Several areas had collapsed, and molten lava flowed freely along fissures in the earth.
The poisonous miasma rising from the lava was enough to kill ordinary people without cultivation in moments.
Clearly, the ancient beasts fighting over the mountain treasure had already begun their battle.
"Let's go. We'll take a look first."
Zhu Chen put away the map and guided the celestial carriage toward the lake.
Minutes later, they arrived without incident.
The lake had completely dried up.
Thick silt covered the bottom, and countless dried fish carcasses lay scattered about, emitting a foul stench.
