Chapter 6730 Light in the Darkness
Two hours later.
When Xiao Chen and Jiuwei returned, they threw out more than a dozen corpses from the bone ring, along with a large number of magical treasures and divine weapons.
"Brother Chen."
Bai Ye and the spirit of the evil dragon have returned and are aware of the news of Shennong's demise.
"Lord Xiao."
Tang Zhengshan approached.
"How is the situation?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Two more groups of people have not yet returned, and Nuwa has not come back either. At present, more than seventy powerful people from Starry Sky Island have been killed..."
Tang Zhengshan replied.
Xiao Chen nodded and learned about the casualties and some events that had occurred in recent years. Only then did he realize that Shennong's opponent had always been the Illusionary Nightmare Clan.
"So, this is the first time the human race from the Desolate God Realm has invaded."
"Nine-Tailed Fox said slowly."
"Yes, in fact, the strength of the lower-level human race in the Desolate God Realm is limited, and it is impossible for all forces to be controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the Desolate God Realm to invade the Mother Realm."
I just interrogated some powerful individuals. The upper echelons of Star Island have only recently recovered and somehow found this passage. This invasion was launched suddenly…”
Tang Zhengshan continued.
"They also didn't know the identity of the person who never showed up?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
Tang Zhengshan shook his head: "Several powerful figures from Starry Sky Island who knew that person's identity died in their final battle with Lord Shennong. That person's true form should still be on Starry Sky Island, but he must have exhausted at least a thousand years of cultivation."
"That person may not have fully recovered, or he was not prepared to fight, but only took action because he felt the operation was going to fail."
An old man echoed this.
"I think it's possible that he really wants to temporarily withdraw his troops. There must be more urgent problems to solve, either within or outside Star Island."
Another elder chimed in.
For a moment, everyone was expressing their opinions, completely disregarding their own injuries, their hearts burning with the flames of revenge!
Xiao Chen remained silent, lost in thought.
"Lord Xiao, these are divine weapons and magical treasures collected from all the powerful individuals, including the location of Starry Sky Island."
Tang Zhengshan handed over a storage magic item.
"What are you doing, senior? These belong to you, of course. You should focus on your cultivation and recovery as soon as possible."
Xiao Chen refused, only leaving the location information of Starry Sky Island.
"Also, as juniors, you should just call me by my name. Don't keep calling me 'Lord Xiao'. Putting aside your age, many of you are disciples of Master Shennong, so we should address each other as fellow disciples."
"Yes……"
Tang Zhengshan and the others responded.
Gradually, everyone gained a better understanding of Xiao Chen, but the shadow of Shennong's fall still loomed over their hearts.
Soon, Nuwa's clone returned, followed closely by the other two groups, who brought back nearly thirty corpses.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but many of the seriously injured were already struggling to hold on and were about to collapse.
"Seniors, I know you are all feeling bad, and so am I, but if our Master is watching from heaven, he would surely want to see us pull ourselves together!"
We must carry on his legacy, so that he may watch from heaven as we continue to slay evil spirits and protect our motherland!
Xiao Chen glanced around and said loudly.
"Also, Master's demise is not your fault. It is my responsibility. I have failed him and you."
"No... Xiao Chen, this is not your fault."
Tang Zhengshan shook his head, and the other elders echoed him, deeply moved.
"All right."
Nuwa's clone spoke.
“That was Shennong’s own choice, not anyone else’s fault! He did this simply to completely resolve the problem of this passage and buy more time for all of us, so we should not let his sacrifice go to waste.”
"By the way, seniors, I now know how to kill the Great Ferocious Beast. You should recover as soon as possible and then seize the time to master it."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he handed over another jade slip.
"Kill the great monster?"
"Can such a monstrous creature really be killed?"
Everyone looked excited and incredulous.
They had been confronting the Nightmare Clan for thousands of years, but had never found any weakness in them. They could only repel them and hold their line of defense by sacrificing their own cultivation or even their lives.
"My lord, there are ten alien races in the Desolate God Realm. Do you really have a way to deal with them all?"
"The person behind asked."
"Yes, this is a kind of supernatural power that can discover the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of different alien races. What we need to do next is to improve our own strength."
Xiao Chen reassured everyone.
"Great!"
The joy on everyone's faces deepened.
Tang Zhengshan's hands trembled as he accepted the jade slip. The eyes of the elders welled up with tears again. This jade slip... no, Xiao Chen was simply a lamp in the darkness, illuminating thousands of years of darkness...
"Senior Tang."
Xiao Chen looked at Tang Zhengshan as if he had just thought of something.
Do you know where the Goddess Nuwa is currently stationed?
Tang Zhengshan was taken aback, then said, "I don't know. A hundred years ago, I was ordered by Shennong to lead a group to search again, but we found nothing..."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly; this was going to be a bit troublesome.
“I remember… about a year ago, the master mentioned that there seemed to be a new clue, but we never had a chance to confirm it, and we don’t know the specifics.”
An old man seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.
"I understand, seniors, please go ahead."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Everyone clasped their hands in greeting and then went off to cultivate.
Because of the many opportunities and magical treasures possessed by the human race of the Desolate God Realm, their recovery went very smoothly, and they even regained their strength from hundreds of years ago.
"I'll expand the search area and do another round to make sure no one slips through the net."
Nuwa's clone prepared to leave again.
"I'll go with you."
Xiao Chen said.
"No need. Establish contact with the Shennong Cauldron as soon as possible and comprehend the true essence of Shennong's Dao. This is a necessary preparation before you go to the Desolate God Realm."
Perhaps, besides the true essence of the Great Dao, there is something else he left for you inside that cauldron.
Before Xiao Chen could ask any more questions, Nuwa's clone flew away.
"Something else?"
Xiao Chen stood frozen in place, a new clue about Nuwa herself?
Then, Bai Ye and the evil dragon spirit also gave chase, while the Nine-Tailed Fox was left behind by Xiao Chen.
"The old immortal and Shennong and other seniors really put a lot of thought into this."
"Nine-Tailed Fox said softly."
Xiao Chen remained silent, gazing up at the sky, still feeling some self-reproach and guilt.
"Don't overthink it, just do what you're supposed to do."
With a resolute expression, Nine-Tailed Fox slowly grasped Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, suppressing his grief, and quickly followed Jiuwei to Shennong's cultivation area.
boom!
In an instant, the raging aura of the human emperor swept over us!
"This……"
Xiao Chen's expression changed; he was truly shocked by the terrifying aura of the Human Emperor within the cave!
"Senior Shennong probably foresaw what would happen today."
Nine-Tailed Frowning, she sensed that the aura of the Human Emperor was something Shennong had deliberately left for Xiao Chen.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, he sensed something and his mind stirred.
He didn't even need to activate his cultivation technique, yet the aura of the Human Emperor surged towards him, instantly flooding his sea of consciousness, including his bone ring!
hum...
The Shennong Cauldron inside the bone ring trembled slightly, clearly indicating that it was resonating and being awakened...
