Chen Daowen's figure swiftly traversed through the mountains, encountering quite a few exotic beasts that emerged from the spatial seal along the way.
But he wasn't in the mood to accumulate Evil Qi now.
Though the Tier Seven Technique awarded by the Training Camp is rare, it pales in comparison to the opportunity for his family to rise.
Putting it this way, the reason the Training Camp's reward suddenly upgraded to a Tier Seven Technique is because the Chen Family, the Zhang Family, and the Wang Family applied for it together.
In the eyes of outsiders, they are so confident in their own celestial prodigies that they made such a move.
But in reality, the true purpose of the Chen Family was to focus all the students' energy on how to become number one, thereby gaining more space for Chen Daowen.
To search for that female corpse.
"After this, I, Chen Daowen, am bound to enter the Celestial Pride List and obtain my family's Daoist Canon!"
"Haha, I've endured long enough. People like Zhang Muye and Wang Gao are not worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with me!!"
A trace of a rosy glow appeared between Chen Daowen's brows.
But this rosy glow carried immense power, with infinite blessings, and at the moment it appeared, a breath several times stronger than his own erupted around Chen Daowen.
His figure seemed to shuttle like lightning.
This is a Dharma Gate that only the direct lineage of the Chen Family is qualified to master, the Immortal Robe Technique!!
This Dharma Gate was brought back from the North Sea Ruins by an ancestor; it's rumored that the ancestor comprehended it from that Immortal Robe.
And the female corpse he's searching for now is very likely the owner of the Immortal Robe.
An Immortal Robe was enough to elevate the Chen Family to such heights, if he could find that female corpse....
Thinking of this, Chen Daowen couldn't help but be excited.
Buzz!!
At this moment, that White Jade Pendant suddenly emitted an incomparable brilliance.
Chen Daowen's eyes flashed with expectation.
"It's here!!"
At the moment he received the pendant from his great-grandfather, Chen Daowen heard the voice of an ancestor.
The ancestor told him that upon entering the Immortal Ruins, this pendant would guide him to a village hidden in the folds of time.
In that village, there is a sealed evil god from whom some benefits can be gleaned, and there is an ancestral altar beneath which a bizarre woman can provide clues to the female corpse.
The real show was finally about to start!!
Chen Daowen thought expectantly, closing his eyes, waiting for the pendant to lead him into the village.
But.. after a long while… he still stood in place, nothing happened.
Although the pendant shone with light, it revealed nothing.
"Where's the village??"
Chen Daowen looked around in confusion, it was a desolate place, with only a cave, empty inside.
Forget the village, he hadn't even seen a single hair.
"Has the pendant broken after so long?"
Chen Daowen perplexedly removed the pendant, frowning, this wasn't what the ancestor said at all.
As he pondered...
The pendant seemed to be summoned by something, floating up from Chen Daowen's hand.
Chen Daowen's eyes lit up.
"Is it just starting to show the real guidance?" He looked at the pendant excitedly, and then...
Buzz Buzz!!
The pendant exploded with astonishing light, so bright that Chen Daowen couldn't open his eyes; in its brilliance, he felt a nameless, profound, bizarre aura.
The light grew ever stronger, dazzling, and brilliant.
"Evil god, village, female corpse, I'm coming!" Chen Daowen thought excitedly.
At the peak of the light's brilliance.
Everything.... suddenly stopped.
All the light vanished, the dazzling brightness instantly dimmed.
Chen Daowen opened his eyes, still standing in place, everything unchanged, if there was a change...
It was that... the White Jade Pendant... was gone??
"???" Chen Daowen looked puzzled at the empty space in front of him.
No? Where's my token??
Such a brilliant token, how could it just disappear into thin air??
Chen Daowen searched around, but found nothing, not a trace of the pendant.
At this moment... the once ambitious Chen Daowen... had his mindset collapse....
.....
Su Tu and Chang Sheng walked through the mountains.
According to Chang Sheng's intel, the exotic beasts were still slowly breaking free; encountering one was considered lucky.
Finding a few without a fight, as Chang Sheng put it, would require pure idiocy.
Basically, after all students formally entered the ruins, the exotic beasts would break free on a large scale.
"So, how long until we find Chen Daowen?"
Su Tu lightly tapped his temple, tilting his head to look at Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng looked puzzled at this moment: "Strange, the teacher told me you'd clash with Wang Gao and Chen Daowen, so I specifically monitored them."
"I planted my shadow on them, unless their strength exceeds mine by threefold, my shadow should not dissipate."
"Unless... unless Chen Daowen was hiding his strength!!"
He spoke confidently.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu's eyes subtly flickered.
Chang Sheng's strength wasn't as simple as it appeared, his Divine Techniques were very bizarre, allowing him to act within shadows and manipulate them.
More importantly, Su Tu did not gain any skill experience from Chang Sheng.
This indicated, according to the system's assessment, the opponent didn't reveal any strength to fight him, but instead relied on his physique to resist Su Tu's punches.
Although Su Tu didn't exert his full strength earlier, even his physical strength isn't something an ordinary martial artist can withstand.
Despite Chang Sheng's bruised and swollen face, looking very embarrassed, he wasn't fundamentally injured.
If Chen Daowen could unleash a strength three times greater than Chang Sheng's...
Then Chen Daowen...
"Would be a prey that can take a few more punches..."
Su Tu thought to himself.
At that moment.
Suddenly, Su Tu sensed something, a dazzling stream of light was rushing towards him from afar. It was so fast that even Su Tu could only see a fleeting shadow.
Before he could fully comprehend it, the stream of light directly entered Su Tu's body.
Causing his steps to pause.
"What happened?" Chang Sheng looked at Su Tu, who had stopped walking, and asked.
"It's nothing."
Su Tu maintained a calm expression and continued forward.
Yet at this moment, within his inner world, a white jade pendant emitting a faint glow floated gently.
At the same time, Xiao Ba revealed a face full of anticipation and desire.
But before he could have any thoughts or actions.
"Awooo~"
A big mouth directly swallowed the pendant!!
"Ahhhhh!!! You damned big cat!! Can't you leave me a little bit!!"
"You greedy bastard!! Couldn't you leave me a tiny bit of authority!!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"
Xiao Ba shouted excitedly, but then the cold gaze of the White Tiger glanced over.
An indescribable chilling sensation instantly enveloped Xiao Ba.
He then realized, this White Tiger was only a bumbling big cat in front of Su Tu.
But to any other being, it was absolutely... 'ferocious'
Accompanied by the big cat swallowing the white jade pendant.
A notification appeared in front of Su Tu.
[You have devoured five percent of Casderam's authority.]
[Divine Skill: Mistake (Initial Tier Incomplete) partially replenished.]
[Divine Skill: Mistake (Initial Tier Incomplete): You can temporarily alter the other's [existence], and the other side shares part of the mental consumption with you, the extent of change depends on the power gap.]
"Hmm?"
Looking at the updated skill information, Su Tu was taken aback.
Is there really such a thing as a pie falling from the sky?
Just walking like this, an evil god's authority comes over to be devoured on its own??
If this happened to someone else, Su Tu would definitely call them a damn lucky European!
But since it happened to him, he could only say... good timing!!
The update to the ultimate [Mistake] skill was too important. [Mistake] is a very practical skill, only disadvantage is the high consumption. Now, the help of the other who receives the skill would share the consumption, reducing it by half.
This not only allows him to use [Mistake] more times but also has other strategic significance.
For Su Tu, whose mental strength is several times that of an ordinary martial artist, even using [Mistake]'s consumption was hard on him.
The martial artist who shares the consumption with him would probably be drained of mental strength in an instant.
Now the [Mistake] skill essentially means making the sheep pluck its own wool to knit a sweater!
This skill made Su Tu feel more like a capitalist.
"Casderam is still sealed now, and the pendant is made of five percent of his authority, the one who had this pendant must have entered that village before!"
"Is it you... the descendant holding the Immortal Robe!"
Su Tu's mind quickly churned, as soon as he saw the pendant, he made his judgment.
In the entire village besides himself, only the one who took away the Immortal Robe had entered, and only he could bring out a pendant transformed from Casderam's authority.
That person entered the village long before him, probably the initial explorer, and the one in the ruins now can't be him, only his descendant.
"Didn't expect the Immortal Robe clues to show up this fast."
Su Tu had a faint mix of colors in his eyes.
"Su... Su Tu, should we rest for the night? The Immortal Ruins are a bit dangerous at night, best to find a safe place to spend the night."
Chang Sheng interrupted Su Tu's thoughts with his words.
"Rumor has it that when night falls, the eternal resentful spirits in the Immortal Ruins roam, seeking lonely martial artists, sucking their essence, destroying their spirits~"
Chang Sheng spoke in a deliberately eerie tone.
Looking at Su Tu's expressionless face, he felt a bit awkward.
After all, he indeed wasn't in the right; he promised to help Su Tu find Chen Daowen, but now he's lost the other person's trail and still wants to rest...
"Let's stay here, there's a cave, one night won't be a problem, right?"
Standing in front of a cave, Su Tu spoke.
Listening to advice, having a full meal; Su Tu wasn't the type to look for trouble knowing there might be danger.
"Alright then, if we can't find Wang Gao tomorrow, you can just finish me off!" Chang Sheng said cheerfully.
After the two entered the cave, Chang Sheng cautiously lit a red candle at the entrance.
Su Tu could feel waves of repelling force emanating from the red candle.
It's probably a method to deal with resentful spirits; Chang Sheng didn't elaborate, and Su Tu didn't ask.
The two exchanged few words, just leaning against the wall pretending to rest.
Su Tu didn't completely trust Chang Sheng. Although he seemed asleep, any unusual movement would make him spring up instantly.
As for Chang Sheng, he fell asleep quickly, with barely two minutes passing before a faint snoring sound arose.
Su Tu didn't care whether his snoring was genuine or fake, his heart and spirit were calm, wanting to enter his inner world, with divine forces guarding him, he could return in an instant.
No harvesting the Dao for days made Su Tu feel it wasn't worthwhile.
Yet...
Just as Su Tu was about to enter his inner world, he heard a sound near his ear, like a mournful wail, like a prayer.
"Half-disciple of Nuwa, oh great Cao, please deliver us~"
"Please release us from this eternal suffering~"
Su Tu's eyes snapped open, the voice was no illusion, it was echoing in his ears.
The sound came from outside the cave; although it said it rang by his ear, it felt like it emerged from his heart.
Constantly summoning Su Tu, wanting him to step out of the cave, the red candle was still burning, but in that darkness, pairs of withered eyes seemed to be gazing at Su Tu.
At this moment, Su Tu only felt speechless, never anticipating that one day he'd hear someone call him...
The great Cao!
