After crossing the plains, a wild forest appeared. The group of nearly a thousand people had already started to disperse. The strength of each group could be clearly distinguished here.
There were a dozen people who were far ahead. All of them were at the Blood Sea Divine Embryo Realm, and their faces were filled with confidence. It was obvious that victory was in their hands. When these people saw the forest, they didn't even think about it before diving in.
There were about a hundred people behind these people. They seemed to have discussed this beforehand. They split into a dozen small groups in front of the forest and also rushed in without hesitation.
Later on, the large group of people that rushed over in a disorderly manner also temporarily formed small groups to break in. Some people seemed to feel that there was no hope and simply gave up, helplessly walking back.
The vast forest was like a monster's mouth that swallowed hundreds of people in an instant. No one knew how many of them would be left in the end.
However, this was the path of cultivation. Those who bravely walked forward would cut through all obstacles. Only in this group of people would there be a peerless powerhouse that could shake the world. Those who turned back halfway would never have the chance to step into the true hall of cultivation.
Zhao Yuande was the last to step into the forest. He clearly knew that as long as he passed through this forest, he would truly enter the Ancient Wilderness Ridge.
Danger lurked everywhere in the Ancient Wilderness Ridge. Countless powerful Vicious Beasts were waiting for their arrival with their bloody mouths wide open. However, he was not afraid. His 50,000 kilograms of strength could almost destroy a small mountain. His terrifying physical body could withstand the ferocious attacks of Rank 4 Vicious Beasts.
"Roar!"
A tiger's roar shook the sky. The entire forest trembled violently.
Not far ahead, a huge black shadow pounced at Zhao Yuande.
Zhao Yuande could tell at a glance that this was a black tiger that was more than six meters long. It had dense fangs and a fishy smell. A pair of tiger claws flashed with cold light as it ruthlessly slapped down at Zhao Yuande's head.
He subconsciously formed a seal and pointed at the black tiger.
"Level 2 Vicious Beast, Savage Black Tiger. Its flesh contains a small amount of spirit energy. Ordinary people eat it to strengthen their body … Low-grade ingredient, matching recipe …"
When Zhao Yuande saw that it was a level 2 Vicious Beast, he lost interest. His jade-like hand reached out from his sleeve and slapped at the Savage Black Tiger.
"Roar!"
The Savage Black Tiger felt an aura that made its hair stand on end. That palm was like a huge mountain pressing down on it, making it unable to resist at all.
It wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late.
"Pu!"
Zhao Yuande's palm shattered a pair of tiger claws, as if he didn't encounter any resistance, and directly imprinted on the Savage Black Tiger's forehead.
The Barbarian Black Tiger's forehead was smashed into pieces, and bright red blood splattered everywhere. Its huge body smashed through who knows how many trees and fell dozens of feet away.
"It's better than being bored. Keep it for now!" Zhao Yuande placed the Savage Black Tiger's corpse into his storage space. Although the Savage Black Tiger's flesh was useless to him, he could still exchange it for money and spirit jades.
"That person … is so powerful!" Not far away, a few youths watched the scene in shock.
"He actually killed a Level 2 Savage Black Tiger with a single slap! Who is this person? "
"Quick, let's go!"
Looking at the few youths fleeing in panic, Zhao Yuande shook his head.
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, and these people weren't a threat to him, so he wouldn't meddle in their business.
As they got closer to the Ancient Wilderness Ridge, the frequency of ferocious beasts increased. After Zhao Yuande killed seven or eight Level 2 ferocious beasts, he finally encountered a Level 3 ferocious beast.
In the forest, seven or eight corpses were gnawed until only the bones were left. A yellow ferocious ape with shiny fur was grinning at Zhao Yuande.
At this moment, it was grabbing a human's thigh and biting it. Blood splattered everywhere, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.
"Level 3 Savage Beast, Man-Eating Ape. Its flesh contains a large amount of spirit energy and is highly toxic … Low grade ingredient, compatible with the recipe 'Ten Poisons Soup'. The soup is extremely delicious and can kill a Yin Yang Unification Realm expert. Ingredient list: Man-Eating Ape, Blood Light Toad, Two-Headed Centipede …"
Seeing this recipe, Zhao Yuande was stunned.
There was actually such a terrifying recipe. He really wanted to taste what this so-called 'extremely delicious' tasted like!
Although the Man-Eating Ape's combat strength wasn't bad, it was still killed in one strike by Zhao Yuande. The key was that his physical body was too strong. His 50,000 kilograms of strength could easily crush a Level 3 ferocious beast.
Zhao Yuande carefully placed the Man-Eating Ape's corpse in a corner of his storage ring. This fellow's poison could kill a Yin Yang Unification Realm expert, so it would be easy for it to kill him.
Walking out of the forest, Zhao Yuande saw a huge undulating mountain range in front of him. The mountain range was desolate and dangerous.
At the end of his vision, there was a towering, pitch-black mountain surrounded by demonic clouds. This was their destination, the Demonic Cloud Mountain!
Looking at the sparse figures in front of him, Zhao Yuande let out a long breath. He didn't head towards the Demonic Cloud Mountain, but went in another direction.
After running for hundreds of miles, a canyon thousands of feet wide appeared in front of him.
An incomparably wide river rolled in from the horizon and rushed into the canyon. From afar, he could see water vapor rising above the canyon, as if there was a Flood Dragon hibernating in it.
In his previous life, he was chased by a ferocious beast until he had nowhere to go. He only escaped after rushing into the canyon.
That secret ruin was hidden in the canyon, and he had accidentally found it.
Although so many years had passed, he still couldn't forget this place. At that time, because his cultivation was too low, he was very careful when he entered the ruin and didn't get many benefits. Unfortunately, when he became stronger and came again, he found that the ruin had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
This became his life's regret, an unsolvable mystery.
Zhao Yuande entered the canyon with ease. The water vapor here was very heavy, and after a few steps, his clothes were wet.
"At that time, I entered the canyon with the silverback gorilla on my back. After entering the canyon, the beast seemed to have some scruples and didn't chase me in …" Zhao Yuande recalled the scene of that year as he walked, not missing any details.
"I walked here and found a 'Green Jade Leaf' here …" He searched the slippery cliff in front of him and found a plant growing out of a crack in the cliff in an inconspicuous place.
"No!" Zhao Yuande was just about to collect it when he suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the distant darkness.
He felt an irresistible power from the eyes. He felt that the other person's cultivation was at least at the Yin-Yang Integration Realm. With his current cultivation, he couldn't defeat the other person at all.
He pretended to collect the 'Green Jade Leaf' as if nothing had happened and continued to walk into the canyon. He felt that the eyes had been following him.
Who was it? Was it someone who participated in the selection? Why was there someone here? Was the disappearance of the ruin in his previous life related to this person?
Zhao Yuande's mind raced as he tried to find some clues in the middle.
He walked deeper and deeper, and there was a rumbling sound of water from afar. There was a mist and a waterfall fell from the sky, heavily falling into the canyon. It then rushed into the bottom of the canyon, into an abyss of unknown depth.
It was that huge rock. Back then, he found a Mist Grass behind the huge rock. Although it was only a level two spiritual grass, it allowed him to gain a foothold in the sect.
He walked for a short distance, and it was as if he had entered a world of mist. The waterfall above his head brought with it a drizzle.
Just like in his previous life, he arrived at the back of the boulder and found a small silver blade of grass that was shining with a sparkling luster.
"Mist Grass, has weak water spiritual energy, grows in … low level ingredients, matches the recipe …"
He unconsciously appraised it. Sure enough, it couldn't be more ordinary. But after all, it was a spiritual grass that was fated with him in his previous life. He carefully pulled out the Mist Grass and put it into his storage space.
That pair of eyes still didn't leave him. He quietly released his soul to find out who the owner of that pair of eyes was. But after his soul left his body, he couldn't find a trace of that person. It was as if that person was hidden in the void.
No! The direction of that gaze seemed to be in the ruin!
Zhao Yuande suddenly had this discovery. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
In his previous life, his cultivation was shallow and he couldn't feel this gaze. He just entered the ruin in a daze.
Could it be that because he was too weak, the other party didn't care about him and let him live? This was absolutely impossible!
Who was this person? What was his purpose?
This person was too dangerous. A gentleman wouldn't stand under a collapsing wall. Why don't I just leave and wait until I'm strong enough to take the opportunity here?
When he thought up to here, he immediately left, and he no longer coveted this strange fortuitous encounter.
