”The Basilisk Forest…” Yan Zaizen couldn't help but feel somewhat lost. His current location could be considered incredibly far away from the Yan Clan - over ten thousands li. With his cultivation, it'll take several years to get back to the Yan Clan. Not to mention the obstacles he'd have to face especially since true flight capabilities required a cultivation base at the Qi Unification. His current realm was only at the peak-initial Qi Revolving realm.
Considering his cultivation base and where he was, it would be unlikely for him to even survive this place. If it wasn't for him possessing a Nascent Herculean Physique and a Perfect Nascent Soul, he would be unwilling to leave his two fellow disciples. Well, perhaps not Shin Xuanji. However, he would definitely have stuck with the Essence Formation Lin Feilin until he left the forest, otherwise, it'd be certain death.
”For now, I need to exit this forest.” He planned, looking at the Basilisk Tree, and then at the opposite direction behind him. As long as he ventured away from the tree, he'll exit at some point. Thinking up to here, he decided his path and left.
The Basilisk Forest truly lived up to its reputation of being the home of serpents and reptiles. With his spiritual sense, he could sense many slithering and scaly creatures roaming about. He could tell their cultivation were by no means weak. Each beast he came across was at least rank two or above, and rank two meant around the late-stage Qi Revolving realm. Rank three beasts were equivalent to Essence Formation beasts, and he stayed away from them like the plague.
Using his spiritual sense, he took paths away from the truly dangerous ones, and to prevent himself from having to fight and attract attention, he would purposefully avoid even the rank two disaster beasts. Currently, he wasn't looking to obtain disaster beasts cores or temper himself. This environment would be suitable if he was at the Essence Formation, but he wasn't. In truth, he couldn't help but wonder if Shin Xuanji would be able to escape the forest alive.
With his late Qi Revolving Realm, it didn't seem likely. However, the more he thought about it, he didn't know Shin Xuanji's comprehensive combat strength or talents. Not to mention, he was a disciple of Han Genji - an Origin Core Cultivator. He couldn't be too weak. He may actually be incredibly strong. In that case…
He couldn't help but sigh.
He never felt the burden the possible extermination of his entire clan brought before. It felt like a thousand-pound weight at the back of one's mind, constantly weighing down on your thoughts and mood.
”Is this how grandfather feels all the time?” He couldn't help but mumble.
Wait.
He forgot something.
Looking down at his palm, he saw the transparent piece of jade with slight soul energy fluctuations. This was the jade Han Genji gave him before sending him away. The transparent jade was smooth and cold to the touch and made him feel calm.
”Is this a soul jade?”
