Chapter 883: This Is Bad! (1/2)

Tang Wulin appraised her in a rather speechless manner. In his mind, Gu Yue's power had never been inferior to his, and in fact, she was most likely more powerful than him. However, she had transformed into a little girl who was completely dependent on him.

”It's alright, I'll protect you.” Tang Wulin stroked her long hair, and she rested her head against his chest with a content expression on her face.

”You're the best, Father!”

Tang Wulin's hand immediately stiffened. How was he supposed to face her after she regained her memories?

He heaved an internal sigh and regained his composure before beginning to a.s.sess their surroundings.

The training he'd undergone on the demonic island had taught him how to remain calm regardless of what kind of situation he was in. Even if he were experiencing extremely strong emotions, he had to calm himself down as quickly as possible as he could only make the best judgments in a calm and tranquil state.

It was undoubtedly the case that they were in a primitive forest. The more he looked at this place, the more he felt like it resembled the Star Dou Forest simulated in the Spirit Ascension Plane. The only difference was that the plants here appeared to be lusher and older than the plants he had seen in the Spirit Ascension Plane.

If he really were in the Spirit Ascension Plane, then this definitely wasn't the intermediate Spirit Ascension Plane. He'd been to the intermediate Spirit Ascension Plane before, and the plants in there definitely weren't as lush as the plants here. Furthermore, it shouldn't have been that easy for him to encounter a soul beast that was not inferior to him in power in the intermediate Spirit Ascension Plane

Thinking back to the power that the Crimson Fire Monkey King had just displayed, Tang Wulin concluded that he'd have to don his suit of battle armor if he wanted to defeat it.

His soul power rank was only at 55 at the moment, but even the average six-ring Soul Emperor would be no match for him. With the enhancements from his battle armor and Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wulin could be considered to be just as powerful as a high-grade Soul Master.

As such, that Crimson Fire Monkey King had to at least be a 20,000-year-old soul beast.

So was this the advanced Spirit Ascension Plane? He knew nothing about that place, and he'd only heard Gu Yue mention it briefly in the past. According to her, that place was the core resource of the Spirit PaG.o.da.

However, he was able to make some standard judgments based on common sense. For example, the more powerful the soul beasts in a place were, the fewer soul beasts there would be in that place. This was because all powerful soul beasts had their own territory that they wouldn't allow others to encroach upon. It was quite clear that they were currently situated in the territory of the Crimson Fire Monkey King.

Only after entering another territory would they potentially encounter other soul beasts. However, the main problem at the moment was, how were they supposed to get out of here?

If this were the Spirit Ascension Plane, then all of the people that entered it would be given special b.u.t.tons that they could press to get themselves out of this place. Alternatively, they could die in this plane, and that would also bring them back to the real world, but they'd suffer some emotional trauma as a result.

The issue was that neither of them had those special eject b.u.t.tons that could get them out of here. Could he perhaps try to die in here instead?

Tang Wulin didn't know if that would work, and there was no way to try this out. After all, what if he were to really end up dead?

Furthermore, Tang Wulin had heard that the highest level of the Spirit Ascension Plane was an actual world. If he and Gu Yue were currently situated on that level, then dying here would truly mean death.

Hence, he had to treat this situation with the utmost caution.

After considering all of these possibilities, Tang Wulin wasn't in a hurry to advance onward. This was the territory of the Crimson Fire Monkey King, and at the very least, this was a soul beast that he could match in battle, so this place was relatively safe. Furthermore, his omniscient-eye-like ability could constantly monitor their surroundings, thereby allowing him to detect any potential dangers very early on. As such, the best option for them now was to rest here for a while and ascertain which direction they should go in.

If this really were the highest level of the Spirit Ascension Plane, then this place was most likely the core region of the Star Dou Forest, which actually still existed in the real world. This was a place of extreme peril, and he could even run into 100,000-year-old soul beasts here!

If he were to forge ahead in a rash manner, only to encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast, then it was over for him and Gu Yue.

If this really were the core region of the Star Dou Forest, then as long as he could pick the right direction that would take them away from this area, they should be able to emerge from the forest eventually.
