"That's what I have in mind. When will we set off?"
Zhan Chen's interest seemed to be high.
"Of course it will be soon. I can't wait. This is also the purpose of my coming to Taichu Star."
Liu Ye showed an ambitious smile.
Looking at his smile, Zhan Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He quickly found the reason for this feeling. After all, Liu Ye and he only met each other in the Territory of Chaos on a regular basis, and they did not have a deep friendship. They were together because of the need at that time.
Now that they have arrived at Taichu Star, this mutual dependence is disappearing. Although with Liu Ye's help and his own efforts, his cultivation level has reached the five-star whirlpool realm, his strength is still far behind Liu Ye's.
, which means that the relationship between the two of them is unequal.
Where they are going now, there are opportunities and hidden risks. If the critical moment comes, Liu Ye will probably abandon himself for profit or escape.
But on the other hand, the more dangerous you go, the safer it is to have a master around to help you.
Forced to press down, Zhan Chen felt uneasy and smiled.
"Senior, this trip to Yuanheng Valley is mainly for you. You have been trapped in a bottleneck for many years. If you get the treasures of heaven and earth, you can go further. Of course, it will be gratifying. But I don't care, I just accompany you.
It’s just a stroll, I feel I still have room for improvement.”
"Haha, brother Zhan Chen, why do you say you are so generous? You have been my companion in the Territory of Chaos for many years. If I really get the opportunity, I will naturally share it with you."
"My little brother knows very well that if it's something with too much energy, it would be a waste for me and I can't make the best use of it, so I will allocate everything to my brother alone."
Zhan Chen said.
"Okay, now that you've talked about this, I can't say anything else, but you don't have to be so polite, it will only make you angry."
Liu Ye smiled, and he seemed to be aware of what Zhan Chen was worried about.
The two left Black Crow City, then spread out the map and groped their way towards Yuanheng Valley.
As soon as they left Black Crow City, they were attacked by several waves of star beasts. The strongest one was close to Zhan Chen, but they were all solved by the leader Liu Ye.
However, as they approached their destination, they found that the surrounding scenery had changed.
What appears in front of us are rolling mountains, the lowest ones are tens of thousands of meters, and the highest ones are hundreds of thousands of meters.
The gravity on Taichu Star is extremely terrifying. It would take a lot of energy to fly over these mountains, and it would also be easier to be noticed by star beasts or other cultivators in the air.
Therefore, Liu Ye and Zhan Chen unanimously decided to choose hiking to climb these mountains.
After entering the mountains, Zhan Chen found that he was surrounded by contiguous mountain forests. The shortest trees among these trees were over 100 meters tall, and the average height was around 300 meters.
He tried punching a tree trunk, but was surprised to find that his fist could only leave a shallow crater in the trunk.
"The density of trees here is extremely high."
"Isn't it obvious? That any living thing could survive on this planet is beyond imagination."
Liu Ye picked up another stone from the ground.
"Not just the living things, but every sand and stone on this planet is extraordinary."
As he spoke, he saw him crushing the stone into pieces.
Zhan Chen also picked up a stone, weighed it, frowned and said.
"This weight is equivalent to that of a low-grade star core."
You must know that the star core is the product of a planet being infinitely compressed, and
Any stone on Taichu Star has this level of mass.
"Yes, so on this planet, with our cultivation, even if we attack with all our strength, we won't be able to make much waves. The sound of the battle may not even penetrate a few mountains."
"Yeah, it's really hard to imagine that if we go to places other than Taichu Star, we can easily destroy a huge galaxy with our strength, but why are we so powerless here?"
"Zhan Chen, I feel that this planet contains a supreme law. If our realm does not reach a certain level, we cannot break the laws here."
"So that's the case. I've also vaguely noticed some of it, but it's not as good as yours."
"Let's move on."
"OK."
The two of them continued to move forward cautiously, but an accident soon came to the door.
Suddenly, they heard rustling in the forest, and many thin needle-like things flew towards them from all directions.
"So fast!"
A flash of light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he drank: "Water World!"
This is an application of the law of water that he recently understood, and it can also be regarded as a Taoist technique he created.
The originally dry forest was instantly filled with water vapor, and the entire forest seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.
And those thin needles that suddenly shot towards Zhan Chen and Liu Ye seemed to be frozen, suspended in mid-air, revealing their true posture.
They were small bugs with a shuttle-like appearance, each as big as a toothpick, but possessing astonishing lethality. When they first came over, not even Zhan Chen could see their true colors in Lushan.
"Well, these bugs are really weird."
Liu Ye walked close to a strange insect and looked at it carefully.
"Senior, be careful, I can't restrict them for long."
"Haha, it's okay, they can't do anything to me."
I don't know what kind of magic Liu Ye used. He just waved his big hand and all the strange insects suspended in the water exploded and turned into blood foam.
Zhan Chen revoked his Taoist skills, and the surroundings returned to dry mountain forests, with not even a dewdrop nearby.
"Zhan Chen, your application of laws has become more and more proficient."
Liu Ye smiled.
"It all depends on the guidance of seniors."
"Well, cultivating the laws to perfection is just the beginning. What distinguishes the strength of the strong is the fusion of the laws. At this point, you have just started."
"Yes, law fusion is too difficult."
Zhan Chen sighed, the last time he managed to merge the laws was when he was desperate and succeeded when dealing with a fallen monk.
However, he made many attempts afterwards, but was unable to perfectly display the Taoist skills at that time. He guessed that if he fell into a huge crisis again, he might still have a chance to understand it.
"Anyway, I have successfully performed it once, so I am not afraid that I will not have the chance to understand it again. Speaking of the understanding of the law and even the integration of the law, it depends on hard work and chance, and cannot be forced."
Zhan Chen comforted himself in this way.
"Let's move on. Although this Taichu planet is full of dangers, I'm not weak either."
Liu Ye said confidently and walked ahead to lead the way.
The mountains near Yuanheng Valley were indeed full of dangers, and there were all kinds of strange star beasts that Zhan Chen had never seen or heard of before. However, they dealt with them very carefully, so generally there was no danger.
After climbing over dozens of mountains, they came to a huge canyon.
This canyon runs north-south, with no end visible from both sides, and its width is
reached hundreds of kilometers.
What's even more amazing is that there is a magical mist filling the canyon.
Liu Ye and Zhan Chen used their spiritual thoughts to touch the mist, and found that their spiritual thoughts were rebounded by them.
Liu Ye frowned and said: "This valley is really weird, it can actually bounce back our spiritual thoughts."
"Yeah, I guess the strange thing is the fog, which makes us the same as blind people."
In the morning of Zhan, with Liu Ye's level of cultivation, spiritual thoughts were their eyes, because the scope of what they could see with pure eyesight was ultimately limited.
But they cannot use the power of spiritual thoughts in Yuanheng Valley, which is a veritable dangerous place for them.
Therefore, the two of them did not go out to explore immediately, but stood in the distance for a while.
"Want to go down?"
"Of course, wealth can be gained through danger. For an old man like me, life and death are no longer important."
"good!"
The two of them flew towards the bottom of the valley. The Yuanheng Valley was much deeper than they imagined. It took them nearly half an hour to land on the ground. If they wanted to fly back from the ground, the gravity level on Taichu would be very difficult.
Say, it takes five times as long.
The scene below the valley is also very different from that above the valley. Perhaps due to unique environmental factors, the plants growing below the valley are much taller than those above the valley. Not only that, they are also more vibrant.
The most common ones here are tall trees with silver-white crowns, and their leaves emit a soft light like street lamps.
Because of this, the originally dark valley becomes more colorful.
But Zhan Chen and Liu Ye were not fooled by the beauty in front of them. In fact, this place was far more dangerous than the one above.
"careful!"
Zhan Chen screamed and jumped away from the spot. The soil under their feet suddenly exploded, and a star beast that looked like an ant lion emerged from the ground, which was seven meters long.
It then used its scissor-like mouthparts to cut off Zhan Chen's waist.
Fortunately, Zhan Chen reacted quickly and avoided it, but he was still so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Since he could not use his spiritual thoughts, he was unable to detect the opponent immediately. However, the weak sound made by the ant lion when it attacked was still captured by Zhan Chen, who had the magical power of listening.
Thanks to Zhan Chen's reminder, Liu Ye also successfully escaped the attack and cut the ant lion's skin in half with a backhand sword.
The attack of a nine-star vortex realm expert is certainly extraordinary, as he can wipe out the opponent's vitality with just one sword.
"Zhan Chen, it's really not easy. I didn't notice anything under my feet, but you reminded me immediately."
"Brother, this is nothing. You didn't notice it because your spiritual mind was blocked. And I didn't notice it just now, because it has been lurking underground and motionless. But I have the magical power of listening, so it is there.
I captured the sound at the moment the attack was launched, so I was able to discover it before you."
"Hey, I'm really not used to having my spiritual thoughts sealed. It reminds me of the days when we were wandering in the Territory of Chaos. However, the strength of the ant lion just now cannot be underestimated. I think it should be compared with your strength, brother Zhan Chen.
It’s pretty good, although it’s nothing to me, but there’s no guarantee that someone more powerful won’t appear later.”
Zhan Chen's expression became extremely solemn. A random insect here had the same strength as him.
So if Liu Ye encounters a more powerful existence, can Liu Ye still protect himself fully?
What if Liu Ye has no time to take care of himself by then?
The answer is obvious. You can never rely on others. Only when you are strong can you guarantee it.
