In the meeting room of the Supreme Pavilion, there was another Supreme Master called Lie Huo sitting there besides Supreme True Martial.
"Ye Chen, you're here!"
"Supreme Ye."
Seeing Ye Chen's arrival, Supreme True Martial and Supreme Fire stood up.
"True Martial, Lie Huo."
Among the Supreme Masters, they usually called each other by their titles. Ye Chen didn't have a title yet, so he could call him Supreme Ye or by his full name.
Sitting down, Ye Chen asked directly, "True Martial, why did you call me here? Did the Demons do something?"
Supreme True Martial smiled, "No, even if the Demons wanted to do something, they wouldn't do it so early. I called you and Lie Huo here to assign a task to you. Patrol the Black Wind Stream."
"Black Wind Stream?"
It was the first time that Ye Chen had heard of this term.
Supreme Fire wasn't surprised at all. He explained to Ye Chen, "The Black Wind Stream is an important place of the Human Clan. The patrolling duty is rotated every 500 years. This time, it's our turn."
After Supreme Zhen Wu and Lie Huo's explanation, Ye Chen finally learned that there was a very secretive forbidden place of the human race — Black Wind Stream. There were countless seals arranged in the Black Wind Stream, which contained demons and enemies that couldn't be killed or were hard to kill since the ancient times. It was equivalent to a very high level supreme prison. Due to the passage of time, the demonic Qi in the Black Wind Stream had become more and more powerful, causing the airflow that blew out from the gap to be black in color. This was how the name Black Wind Stream came about.
Ye Chen and Supreme Fire's task was to patrol the Black Wind Stream and report to Supreme True Martial immediately if they encountered any strange or troublesome problems.
"Ye Chen, you've just become a Supreme Master. The Black Wind Stream is a good place to sharpen your state of mind and will. Is that okay?" Supreme True Martial asked.
Ye Chen knew that Supreme True Martial was doing this for his own good, so he didn't refuse and agreed.
After returning to Tianchen Continent, Ye Chen told Xu Jing and Murong Qingcheng what to do. Then, he went to the Black Wind Stream with Supreme Fire.
…
The Black Wind Stream was a vast expanse of pitch-black darkness. Occasionally, a faint black airflow would blow past, and the space-time would creak.
The closer one got to the Black Wind Stream, the denser the black air currents became. The wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves rang out incessantly. Those who did not have a strong state of mind or a strong will would suffer every second here.
"Supreme Ye, the Black Wind Stream is just ahead."
Although Sovereign Lie Huo was a veteran Sovereign, he was well aware of his own position. This time, it seemed as though he was the one leading Ye Chen on patrol. However, in the face of unexpected situations, Ye Chen had to take the lead. There was no other reason than that Ye Chen was stronger than him, and he was just an ordinary Sovereign.
"Lie Huo, is there anyone alive in the Black Wind Stream?"
Ye Chen suddenly thought of something and asked.
Sovereign Lie Huo stared blankly for a moment before replying, "I don't think so. Even if there were, they would be Evil Demons that were imprisoned in there in the last million years. The Evil Demons from a million years ago would have long since died in there."
Nodding his head, Ye Chen glanced at the black air currents that blew past him, "That's good. However, these air currents are not simple."
The energy contained within the black air currents was very heterogeneous. Ye Chen had just collected a black air current and wanted to study it. However, he found that it was impossible to study. Once his soul power entered it, it was immediately corroded. When his sword energy entered it, it was also gradually transformed. This black air current seemed to contain a kind of chaotic law, turning all orderly energy into disorderly energy and merging with the black air currents.
"The black wind of the Black Wind Stream is more terrifying than anything else. Since ancient times, countless Evil Demons have died in the Black Wind Stream. After these Evil Demons died, their bodies merged with the Black Wind Stream. As time passed, the Black Wind Stream became a real Evil Demon graveyard. Even the Heavenly Law was corroded."
"Of course, as long as we are careful, there won't be any danger. Otherwise, Zhen Wu would not have sent me here." Sovereign Lie Huo smiled again.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the Black Wind Stream.
The entrance of the Black Wind Stream was a huge space-time crack. It was like the mouth of a demon, with uneven edges. Inside the crack, black air currents roared and rushed out, sweeping in all directions. The two had to enter in order to patrol the Black Wind Stream, because it was inside the space-time.
"Sovereign Ye, be careful. Don't let go of the Black Wind Token."
Sovereign Lie Huo took out a black token and poured his Zhen Yuan into it. Instantly, a silver-black halo covered him.
"Understood!"
Ye Chen nodded and took out a black token as well.
Under the protection of the silver-black halo, the two entered the space-time crack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Endless black air currents rushed towards the two like roaring water currents. However, with the silver-black halo, the black air currents seemed to have a life of their own as they went around it.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the black air currents around them disappeared. The two arrived in front of a huge canyon, where torrential water flowed.
"This is the Black Wind Stream."
Sovereign Lie Huo slowly let out a breath and said in a leisurely manner.
Ye Chen looked over. The Black Wind Stream was huge, and its height was at least tens of billions of li. In the center of the canyon, a black stream was flowing. Although it was called a stream, it was only relative to the canyon. The width of the stream was at least a few billion li, and its depth was immeasurable. As for the walls of the canyon on both sides, there were countless caves with black smoke coming out of them. These black smoke rose up and converged together, turning into a black curtain that covered the sky. Obviously, the source of the black air currents was the black smoke. However, the Black Wind Stream had a seal, so the black smoke couldn't wreak havoc below.
"Sovereign Ye, come with me."
Supreme Flame brought Ye Chen to the real entrance of the Black Wind Stream, where there was a three-storey building that was three thousand zhang tall. Each storey was exactly three hundred and thirty-three zhang tall.
"This will be our residence from now on. It's a completely different world inside that can satisfy all of our needs. Of course, we have to patrol every once in a while. This is a mission." Sovereign Lie Huo explained.
Ye Chen nodded and asked, "How often do we patrol?"
"We have to patrol once a year. The Black Wind Token has a record of it, but it's not too troublesome. We only need about a month to patrol, and we still have eleven months to cultivate."
"Oh."
That's fine. Ye Chen thought that the patrols would be frequent.
"Since it's our first time here, let's do a patrol first!"
Sovereign Lie Huo suggested.
"Sure!"
Ye Chen also wanted to familiarize himself with the situation of the Black Wind Stream. He had a feeling that this was an unfriendly place, and he had to be careful in these five hundred years.
"Follow me."
The Lie Huo Master flew into the air and started to move along the side of the canyon wall at a moderate speed, checking out the inside of the cave to see if there was anything unusual. Meanwhile, Ye Chen followed right behind him.
There were too many caves on the walls. After a day, the two of them had only checked one-tenth of the caves. No wonder it took them a month or so to finish checking.
