While the two were chatting, the talismans activated by the pupils of the two Academies, asking everyone to gather, arrived.
Feng Chen and Yu Qing Qian exited the inn together, gathered with the others, then headed towards the grand canyon that suddenly appeared.
On the way, the person in the pendant on Feng Chen’s neck telepathically spoke to him.
“That little girl’s really good to you! The method of cultivating heart energy is known to very few people even in the advanced continent, and many major forces don’t know it. She actually persuaded the mysterious master behind her to teach it to you.” There was a sigh in the ancient voice.
Feng Chen’s cold expression was dyed with a layer of warmth, “Qian Qian naturally treats me the best.”
“Your sight is really much better than your mother’s. That girl’s talent is also truly devilish. She’s derived a trace of heart energy before she’s even twenty. If it were on the advanced continent, she’d definitely be a precious disciple that many old fellows would contend for.” The old man sighed again.
He had been cultivating for so many years and still couldn’t even touch the edge of heart energy. Feng Chen and Yu Qing Qian weren’t only talented, but also lucky with fortuitous opportunities. Otherwise, without the entry method, they’d take many detours and it wasn’t certain whether they could develop heart energy or not.
An arc raised on Feng Chen’s lips, “Qian Qian’s talent and strength are indeed both devilish.” His tone was filled with pride.
“Grandpa, do you mean that my mother’s vision isn’t good?” After a pause, Feng Chen asked tentatively.
The elderly man sighed: “If she had good sight, then she wouldn’t end up like that. In fact, it isn’t about good or bad sight. Two people should trust each other when they’re together, otherwise misunderstandings will sometimes cause a regret of a lifetime. You and the little girl must trust each other at all times.
“I’ll tell you about your mother’s affairs when the time comes.”
Feng Chen’s eyes deepened, “Qian Qian and I will trust each other.”
“The little girl’s mysterious master must be from the advanced continent, otherwise there’d be no way they’d be able to possess the method to cultivate heart energy.” The elderly man paused, then said: “And their status and strength in the advanced continent must be extraordinary.”
There were far too few Spiritual Plant Masters who could cultivate heart energy on the entire advanced continent. Once they appeared, as long as they didn’t die in the early stages, they’d grow up to become a terrifying existence.
“Maybe.” Feng Chen didn’t care who Yu Qing Qian’s master was, as long as she was safe.
“Huo Li Ruo has a familiar aura on him, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Plus, he was able to give the Thousand Illusions Mask to the little girl. There should be more behind him than just the Land of Imprisonment.” The elderly man reminded after thinking for a bit.
Feng Chen’s handsome face grew colder, “As long as he doesn’t step on my bottom line, I don’t want to deeply investigate other things.”
Everyone had their own secrets. As long as Huo Li Ruo didn’t touch his reversed scale, then Feng Chen wouldn’t do anything for the sake of his friendship with Yu Qing Qian.
“As long as you understand.”
The pupils of the two Academies travelled for three days, and finally arrived at the grand canyon.
The canyon was located deep in a steep cliff, as if the crack in the earth was cut by a divine sword from heaven.
The canyon was surrounded by barren land with no grass, and the soil was burnt yellow with some black.
The entire canyon was shrouded in a layer of faint black fog, but visibility wasn’t high, and mental energy was also isolated from investigating. Only by going down in person could one obtain something.
“The black fog contains a strong evil force. If we go too deep and fail to come up in time, then it’ll probably corrode our sea of consciousness and bodies.” Mu’rong Jiao withdrew her mental energy and said with furrowed brows.
Cheng Zhuo also revealed a solemn expression, “The news we received before didn’t mention the existence of this black fog of evil force.”
