The sudden voice gave Xing Jue a huge fright. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man lying on a tree behind the high platform, looking at him.
The man was wearing a rough cloth shirt. The clothes that were sewn and patched up seemed rather shabby, and the side of the man's mouth was covered with uneven black stubble. His overall appearance could be said to be extremely deplorable. When he saw Xing Jue looking at him, he suddenly grinned, revealing his mouth full of yellow teeth.
"Senior, were you talking to me just now?"
Although the man's appearance was extremely deplorable, Xing Jue was shocked to discover that he was actually unable to sense the man's strength with his soul power. This meant that the man was definitely not as simple as he looked. Xing Jue, who had just reached the Sacred Region, did not dare to be careless, so he politely asked the man.
"Senior? Hahaha, what kind of senior am I? I'm just a servant. "
"You don't look very old. Just call me Uncle Pang."
Hearing Xing Jue's question, the man's figure leaped forward. He stomped on the tree trunk and soared into the sky. With a graceful somersault, the man landed on the high platform and stood in front of Xing Jue.
"Heh, Uncle Pang, how do you know that I'm not old? Are you sure that I'm not faking my age? "
At the Battle Emperor level, one could change their appearance and figure through great power. This was also the reason why people like Lady Dan could still maintain her youthful appearance even after living for over a hundred years.
However, for people like Lady Dan who could hide their age, although they could fool weaker people, if they encountered experts who were far stronger than them, they would be able to see through her disguise.
Since this person in front of him was so sure that Xing Jue was not faking his age, it meant that his strength was far above Xing Jue's. Thus, Xing Jue asked in a probing manner.
"Hahaha, a child will always be a child. He has never seen the world."
"However, it's not scary to not see the world. It's scary to talk nonsense like this."
"Sigh, this won't do. If you go out and talk nonsense like this, as your guide, won't I lose all my face?"
However, to Xing Jue's surprise, his words actually made this middle-aged man, who claimed to be Pang Shu, burst into laughter and began to talk to himself, making Xing Jue feel like a monk scratching his head in confusion.
"Guide? What's that? "She curiously asked with puzzlement in her heart.
"Ahem, forget it, forget it. I'll tell you as soon as possible."
"Before that, let me ask you a question. Kid, what's your name?" Uncle Pang suddenly asked Xing Jue seriously.
"Xing Jue," Xing Jue answered honestly.
"Oh, Xing Jue? The name isn't bad, but it's a bit hard to remember. "
"Ahem, Xing Jue, remember, no matter where you come from, this is definitely not the place where you lived before."
"Although there are blue skies, white clouds, mountains, flowing water, fish, chickens, shrimps, men, and women here, and at first glance, there is no difference from the place where you lived before. However, I can clearly tell you that this is a completely different world."
Uncle Pang walked back and forth around Xing Jue while gesturing and explaining to Xing Jue. This appearance was quite comical, but Xing Jue felt that what he said was nonsense, because he already knew that this was not the Tianwu Continent, but the Sacred Region.
"I know, because this is the Sacred Region." Seeing this Uncle Pang talking to himself endlessly, Xing Jue finally couldn't help but say.
"What? Sacred Region? What's that? " But what surprised Xing Jue was that when he spoke, what he received was a surprised and puzzled look from Uncle Pang.
"Ah ~ I know."
"Sigh, ignorant mortals like you always like to make wild guesses about this place, but I can also understand. For unknown things, people always like to add their own imagination and then make up a name that they think is good."
"Sigh, I have to say, the name Sacred Region is really not bad. It's much better than the Heaven and Hell that those guys mentioned before."
"But I can clearly tell you one thing, this is neither Heaven nor the Sacred Region, this is … called the Asura Continent!"
After Uncle Pang laughed and muttered to himself for a long time, he suddenly walked to Xing Jue's side and stared at him with a sharp gaze as he said word by word.
"Asura Continent? Could the real name of the Sacred Region be the Sacred Region Continent? "At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly understood.
Because he finally knew why Uncle Pang was so surprised when he said the two words "Sacred Region". It was because this place was not called the Sacred Region, but the Asura Continent.
"Uncle Pang, could it be that other than me, there are people from other continents here?"
After learning the real name of the Sacred Region, Xing Jue asked curiously. From Uncle Pang's words, he could tell that other than the Sky Martial Continent where he was, there were many other continents. Otherwise, there wouldn't be names like Heaven and Hell.
However, what Xing Jue was most concerned about was whether his father, Dugu Changyi, and the sinner of the Spirit Eater Clan, Hun Zhan, had also come here.
"It's not that there are other continents, it's that there are many. There are many continents in this world, and the continents that you were previously in are collectively known as the Mortal Realm."
"Because the people there are very weak and their physiques are too weak, they are not suitable to survive in this world. That's why they were banished to the Mortal Realm."
"However, once you reach the Battle-Saint level, you can activate the Summoning Light and come here. That's because only by coming here will you be able to advance further. Otherwise, if you stay in the Mortal Realm, you will only be stagnant and forever be weak."
"Of course, since you've just arrived here, there will definitely be many things that you don't understand. In order to let you familiarize yourself with this place faster, people like us have appeared, guides."
"The duty of a guide is very simple. It's to let you understand the Asura Continent, to let you understand the customs here, as well as the differences between this place and yours."
"As for me, I will be your guide, Xing Jue." Uncle Pang suddenly walked in front of Xing Jue, pointed at himself, then pointed at Xing Jue, and spoke in a serious manner.
"Sigh, it's getting late. I'll bring you back to the stronghold first, or else there won't be any food to eat. I'll tell you about the customs here as we walk." However, after a moment of seriousness, Uncle Pang once again returned to his unruly and unrestrained manner. With a tap of his toes, he leaped down from the high platform.
Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly tapped his feet on the ground and prepared to soar into the air. However, the moment his body leaped up, Xing Jue was shocked to find that he was unable to soar into the air. He had actually lost the power to fly, and whether it was his speed or the height he could jump, they were both pitifully weak.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh"
Although the sudden change caused Xing Jue to be greatly shocked, he did not take proper measures. With a turn of his body, he did two beautiful somersaults in the air, then landed steadily next to Uncle Pang.
Although he did not know why his strength had been greatly reduced to such a pitiful state, Xing Jue was not in a hurry to ask.
This was because he already knew that this was not the Sky Martial Continent, but the Asura Continent, which was fundamentally different from the Sky Martial Continent. Therefore, anything that happened in this unknown continent would not be strange to Xing Jue for the time being.
"Hmm, child, you're not bad."
Looking at the calm and composed Xing Jue after landing, Uncle Pang nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he followed the path under his feet and walked into the depths of the forest, with Xing Jue hurriedly following.
The forest path was quiet and long. Along the way, Xing Jue had thoroughly understood the difference between the Asura Continent and the Sky Martial Continent. Just as Uncle Pang had said, places like the Sky Martial Continent were called the Mortal Realm, and the people in the Mortal Realm were called mortals. This form of address was somewhat demeaning.
The reason why it was called this was because the people in places like the Sky Martial Continent were simply too weak compared to the people of the Asura Continent. This was because the weakest people here were the God-like Battle-Saints in the Sky Martial Continent.
The reason why people in the Mortal Realm could not come to the Asura Continent without reaching the Battle-Saint level was because there was a special substance in the Asura Continent. That was because there was a special substance in the Asura Continent. It was a substance similar to the Martial Qi and Battle Qi of the Sky Martial Continent. It was called Asura Power.
The Power of Asura was an extremely violent thing. The reason why Xing Jue's physical strength and spiritual strength were suppressed was because of the power of the Power of Asura.
It was precisely because the Power of Asura was too powerful that those who had not reached the Battle-Saint level would die very quickly if they came here. This speed of death was also dependent on the level of their cultivation. In short, this place was only suitable for Battle-Saints and stronger to live.
What made Xing Jue collapse the most was that because of the existence of the Asura's power, Battle Sages, who were supposed to be immortal in the Sky Martial Continent, were like commoners here, unable to escape the restriction of their lifespan. It was said that every person's lifespan was only about a hundred years.
However, Xing Jue did not regret coming here because of this. On the contrary, Xing Jue felt extremely excited. This kind of excitement was active in his body, bones, and even in the depths of his soul.
Because after coming here, Xing Jue realized that he was actually just a frog at the bottom of a well, an insignificant person in this world.
Coming here, Xing Jue would face many new challenges, many powerful people, truly powerful people, but no matter how many dangers and horrors there were in the future, Xing Jue would not be afraid, because Xing Jue firmly believed that only through suffering could he become stronger.
The reason why he thought this way was because Xing Jue did not want to be a complacent frog at the bottom of a well. He wanted to become the true expert of this world, the expert that everyone acknowledged as the strongest.
Just thinking about how he would be able to exchange pointers with a true expert like Fairy Ying in the future, Xing Jue would unconsciously become excited. Furthermore, even Fairy Ying could go to the Sky Martial Continent, which meant that once he reached a certain level, returning to the Sky Martial Continent to see his family would be a simple matter.
"That's right, Xing Jue, after telling you so much, I still haven't asked you which continent you came from. What was the name of the continent you grew up in?" Suddenly, Uncle Pang seemed to have thought of something and took out a strange little book from his bosom. He asked Xing Jue.
"Sky Martial Continent." Hearing Uncle Pang's question, Xing Jue answered truthfully.
"Oh? Let me take a look. "After hearing Xing Jue's words, Uncle Pang earnestly flipped through the book, as if he was looking for something.
As for what Uncle Pang was doing, Xing Jue could not be bothered to care. He just continued walking along the small path. Because there was only one path, Xing Jue guessed that the end of this path should be where they wanted to go.
"Sky Martial Continent!!! You really came from the Sky Martial Continent? "
But at this moment, Uncle Pang's heart-rending roar suddenly came from behind Xing Jue. Turning around, he saw Uncle Pang's mouth wide open, his eyes fixed on the little book in his hands. His ruined face was filled with a strange emotion, and that emotion seemed to be fear.
