Chapter 1761: Chapter 393:
Since you’ve provided us with this food, why not join us?
We have three Immortal Path Domains, and with us, you can be a bit safer."
As the words fell, the faces of the Double Whip Immortal and the Sword-Searching Immortal immediately showed a noticeable expression of astonishment. Their senior sister, why was she suddenly inviting someone from the Indestructible Period?
Although their senior sister was not considered a bad person, she definitely wasn’t someone overly compassionate, and wouldn’t invite someone just because they offered them some food.
"Senior sister..." The Double Whip Immortal secretly communicated to the Sword-Immortal, "Why do you want to invite him? Is there something special about this person?"
"The other party is probably also someone from an Immortal Path Domain." The Sword-Searching Immortal secretly explained, "It’s very strange that he hides his strength.
Under normal circumstances, who would hide so much strength and pretend to be someone with a lower cultivation realm?
Moreover, the news about the Chaos Qi in the River of All Realms came too suddenly. It spread across the world in just one day, and I have a feeling that there may be some conspiracy behind this.
So, I wanted to invite him. Perhaps, he knows something, which is why he’s hiding his strength and coming here."
As the Sword-Searching Immortal finished speaking, the cultivator who called himself Ye Liangchen had already spoken.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I entered this dangerous place because I want to train and seek my own opportunities.
You know that we Loose Cultivators, unlike you who have the backing of a Great Teaching, to continuously break through, to improve ourselves, we have to constantly venture into dangerous places and gamble with our lives, improving ourselves by hovering between life and death.
So, I still want to be on my own."
As Cao Zhen spoke, his heart became even more vigilant. He didn’t believe that these people were so kind-hearted, willing to help him just because they ate a bit of his meat.
These people might have ulterior motives, so the best way is to stay away from them and walk his own path.
The Sword-Searching Immortal nodded slightly, and in her heart, she became even more certain of her suspicions.
For a moment, it was difficult, but the room fell into silence, with only the sound of flames burning continually echoing.
Cao Zhen felt a wave of drowsiness hit him. They had been traveling all night, and it was already past midnight. If he were an ordinary mortal, he would indeed feel sleepy.
But now he’s alone, and he doesn’t dare to sleep!
He could only endure it.
As for the three opposite him, they could take turns watching the night and resting.
After about more than two times, the sky gradually cleared, and the surrounding air finally wasn’t as cold.
"Everyone, I’m leaving now."
Cao Zhen resisted his drowsiness and forced himself to walk out of the room, heading alone into the distance.
During the years when he experienced mortal life, he also walked through the deserts. Now, although he still possesses Immortal Qi, and his physical strength is that of a normal mortal, he still fears the cold and heat like a mortal and feels tired, hungry, and thirsty.
All this makes him feel as if he’s returned to the past, becoming that mortal once more.
He walked further, feeling increasingly drowsy, almost unable to keep his eyes open, but he dared not sleep in this desert. If he were to encounter the Chaye Clan or other cultivators, with ill intentions from others, one nap could mean he would never open his eyes again.
"No, I must leave this desert quickly."
Cao Zhen walked a little longer before flying into the air, quickly heading further away.
Yesterday, after arriving here, he could see many cultivators everywhere, but now, after flying for a while, he hadn’t seen a second cultivator. Clearly, it was unknown how many cultivators had died at the hands of the Murderous Night Clan during the night.
Finally, after flying for about six hours, his view transitioned from a desert to lush trees, large trees one after another, along with towering mountains, and flowing rivers.
The River of All Realms!
He finally reached the River of All Realms.
Cao Zhen stifled his drowsiness and continued flying forward, quickly finding a secluded cave, swiftly entering it, setting up a warning formation at the entrance, and then collapsing into sleep.
He was really too tired; it had been a long time since he had slept. When he woke up and looked outside, he felt the sky was already faintly brightening.
"Did I sleep from daytime to the next day?"
Feeling hungry, he took out some firewood from the Qiankun Bag, lit it with mana, and pulled out a skewer of pre-strung meat, baking it directly.
"Am I really going to have three grilled meals a day?" Cao Zhen muttered to himself while turning the meat skewers in his hand.
Soon, the aroma of roasting meat wafted through the air.
The next moment, footsteps approached outside the cave, followed by a voice.
"Meat? Great."
As the voice fell, footsteps echoed through the cave.
Someone was here.
But he was sure he had set up a formation at the entrance. If anyone entered or if it was broken, he would have heard a sound. Why was there no sound?
Cao Zhen looked toward the cave entrance with an expression of surprise.
In the entrance appeared a burly man clad in black, holding a Giant Axe in his hand.
