Shao Xiaobai and Hao Tongtong were holding hands, panicking. Maoguang's partner was also holding Maoguang's hand, not knowing what to do.
"Someone's here!" Xiao Chen was practically shouting this! Just as everyone was starting to lose hope, his sixth sense discovered a cultivator! He didn't know how strong this person was, but this was great news!
Xiao Chen was so happy that even his tone changed a little. Maoguang and the other three tried their best to look ahead, but they didn't see anything!
"Master Xiao, are you hallucinating?" Maoguang sighed, disappointed.
As soon as he said this, Shao Xiaobai jumped up excitedly, "There's someone here! That's right, there's someone here! This is great! "
"Oh?" Maoguang paused and turned his head, and as expected, there was a figure walking over from afar. This made him very happy, and before the cultivator even got close, he was already calling out excitedly, "Friend, are you here to learn martial arts? Is there anyone else here? "
The person paused when he saw Xiao Chen's group, but nodded. "That's right, what is it?"
"I'd like to ask- how do I learn martial arts here? May I ask where you're going, friend? Why don't we go together? "Maoguang said quickly.
"Behind you!" The man pointed behind him and said, "There's no need, I'm leaving this place!"
With that, he didn't linger, walking past Xiao Chen as if in a hurry to go somewhere.
"Eh? Friend, can you stay for a moment? Can you tell us what's going on here? Is there anyone else? You're leaving? How? "Maoguang asked a bunch of questions.
The person seemed to be getting impatient, and pointed behind him again. "Everything you need to know is at the back. I don't have time for you right now, I'm going to test out my martial arts!"
After saying that, he quickly left without looking back.
Xiao Chen looked at the man's back as he left. He was slightly puzzled. From the man's dirty and tattered clothes, he could tell that he had been here for a long time. It was impossible for him to have just arrived. His hair and beard were very long. It was obvious that he hadn't trimmed them for a long time.
This meant that this person had been here for a period of time, and he was rushing to the other side, saying that he wanted to leave and verify something. Could it be that the other side was the exit?
However, what this person said and what he wanted to know were all in the back, which was the direction they were heading in. Could it be that there were really answers there?
"We …" Shao Xiaobai hesitated.
"Let's go this way. Since he came this way, there must be something there. We can't give up!" Maoguang saw them, and suddenly regained his confidence. "Everyone, keep it up!"
Xiao Chen nodded. He also wanted to see what was going on. Although that person looked impatient, he didn't seem to be lying.
"Alright!" Shao Xiaobai saw that Xiao Chen had agreed, and so he brought his partner along with them.
Maoguang was in high spirits now, and he didn't feel bored at all. They walked for another three days, and finally, they could vaguely see a group of people in front of them.
"There are people, and more than one! This is great! That friend didn't lie to us! There are people here!" Maoguang cried out excitedly.
Shao Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat, and he let out a sigh of relief. He pulled his partner forward quickly, and Xiao Chen, on the other hand, was a little excited. Would his father be among these people?
As the five of them approached, they could see that the end of the sand valley was not far away. At the end, there was a cliff blocking their way. It seemed that this wasn't some Great Circulation, but that this sand valley was just that long.
On top of the cliff was a crack that descended from the heavens. They didn't know how tall the cliff was, but it pierced straight into the misty sky. The crack was also from top to bottom, so they couldn't see how high it was.
There were many people sitting cross-legged in front of the cliff. Some had their eyes closed in contemplation, some had their brows furrowed, some were happy, and some were yelling. Who knew what they were doing?
There were also some people on the two sides of the sand valley not far away. They were continuously executing Martial Techniques at the sand valley. There were all sorts of Martial Techniques. However, it was unknown what they were attacking. The sand valley's walls caved in from the attacks, but it was immediately filled up by the sand and returned to its original state.
"These people … What are they doing?" Shao Xiaobai asked, confused.
"Excuse me, what are you guys doing?" Maoguang cupped his fist.
But no one paid attention to him. Everyone was busy with their own things, and no one even looked at them.
Xiao Chen looked at them and frowned. "They're probably learning techniques, but they're too focused, or maybe they don't want to talk to us at all …"
"Oh?" Maoguang's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement. "Indeed, judging from their expressions, they're probably practicing martial arts. Those people who are using techniques must've learned something, and they're testing it out on the side!"
At that moment, one of the people sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly laughed and stood up, going to the side to practice. Maoguang quickly walked up and cupped his fist. "Brother, may I ask if you've learned the technique?"
"Indeed, I was just about to test it out." The person paused, not expecting someone to talk to him, but he nodded anyway.
"Then can you tell me what's going on here? How do I learn it? "Maoguang asked.
"I don't have time, I'm going to test it out. Get out of the way!" The person said impatiently, as if he was going to use the technique the next moment.
"Brother, you should at least drink some water or eat something. I have some rations in my backpack, do you want some?" Maoguang said.
"Eat my ass! Get out of the way, or I won't go easy on you!" The person's aura changed, revealing that he was a fourth-stage martial practitioner! This gave Maoguang a fright, and he quickly got out of the way.
Seeing that Maoguang knew his place, the person nodded and said, "Sit there and meditate. Try to communicate with the martial intent of Dune Valley!"
Then, he started to use his martial skills on the walls of the sand valley. Ping Ping Pang Pang!
But Maoguang's next sentence made Xiao Chen think of something. "We haven't eaten anything in the past few days?"
"Hm?" Maoguang paused. Indeed, they hadn't eaten anything since entering Dune Valley! They'd even eaten some rations when they were outside, and now that they'd been here for more than ten days, they hadn't had a single drop of water. But they didn't feel anything wrong!
Everyone was nervous here, and since it wasn't night, they were counting time on their watches, so they didn't think about eating. They didn't even feel sleepy!
"This Dune Valley is weird. We don't feel tired or sleepy, and we don't feel hungry. I think the energy here is keeping us alive." Xiao Chen said. He was a cultivator, and it was fine even if he didn't eat for a few days. Maoguang, on the other hand, was a martial practitioner, and he was fine as well. Plus, the martial practitioner had said that there was no need to eat here.
"This really is a great place!" Maoguang sighed. "Let's give it a try!"
With that, Maoguang sat down cross-legged impatiently and closed his eyes, starting to comprehend the dao. The others did the same, imitating him.
Xiao Chen wasn't in a rush. He was here to find his father, Xiao Feng, so he started looking for him among the cultivators.
There were a lot of cultivators here. As far as the eye could see, there were at least a few hundred of them. Xiao Chen had to spend a lot of effort to find them one by one. However, everyone was busy comprehending the Dao and practicing their martial skills. No one paid any attention to Xiao Chen. Who cared if he was walking back and forth!
Finally, Xiao Chen looked through all of them, but didn't see his father anywhere. This made him a little disappointed. It seemed like his father wasn't here, but he might've already left. After all, hadn't the cultivator he'd met earlier said that he was going out?
It seemed like the other side of Dune Valley was where they left.
With that thought, Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry. Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. Since there were so many martial and demonic cultivators here, all of them meditating, it meant that this place wasn't just a rumor.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people here!
Thinking up to this point, Xiao Chen found a corner, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate. In truth, he did not know how he was supposed to comprehend it. He could only imitate the way others did. After closing his eyes, his mind became clear.
At first, Xiao Chen couldn't feel anything at all- he just felt a little drowsy, but he couldn't fall asleep. He didn't know what kind of energy existed here, but as long as he was in Dune Valley, he wouldn't feel tired.
One day …
Two days …
Three days …
Suddenly, a faintly discernible feeling seemed to circulate around Xiao Chen's mind. He quickly caught hold of this feeling.
It seemed to be an aura from ancient times. Although he closed his eyes, in his mind, he could see the crack on the cliff, and that aura seemed to come from the crack. Xiao Chen had already guessed that this aura should be the martial intent that the cultivator had mentioned before.
He actually succeeded. Xiao Chen was pleasantly surprised, because he saw that many people nearby didn't feel anything. After a period of time, they would open their eyes, scratch their ears and cheeks, or get up and change places to continue. These people obviously didn't comprehend anything, otherwise they wouldn't be like this.
