C17 (2/2)

Very quickly, Ye Xingchen went around the Demonic Beast s that were in the inner circle and arrived at the Core Region entrance.

What entered his eyes was a dark green valley. The entire valley was filled with Tree s and was overgrown with weeds; one could not see the end of it.

But Ye Xingchen could feel an ancient aura coming from it.

Furthermore, Ye Xingchen could clearly feel that the spirit energy in the Core Region was much denser than the outside world.

”Should we go in and take a look? It is said that there are treasures in the Core Region? ” Ye Xingchen also secretly made his decision in his heart.

Many years ago, Ghost Valley was very famous. At that time, there was a saying passed down that time, and that was that there was a tomb of a person from the ancient Great Expert with a lot of treasures.

At that time, many experts from the Martial Soul Empire had come to the Ghost Valley, and countless battles had broken out. However, one day, an extremely strong Demonic Beast had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and killed all the experts.

And from that moment on, Ghost Valley almost became a forbidden ground as well, but later on, when people couldn't hold back their curiosity, they slowly entered the Ghost Valley.

It was only then that they realized that as long as they stayed outside of the Ghost Valley or inside it, they would be fine. However, almost no one who entered the core area would be able to get out.

Ye Xingchen had also heard of this legend, and his heart was thumping loudly.

But then, Ye Xingchen made up his mind. If he wanted to go in and take a look, he would have to hide in the Martial God Realm.

”Phew …” Ye Xingchen took in a deep breath. Then, with the Spiritual Strength wrapped around his body, preventing the Spiritual Strength from leaking and concealing his presence, he stepped into the Ghost Valley one step at a time.

As soon as he entered the Core Region, Ye Xingchen felt that something was wrong. He turned around but he could not see a single trace of a shadow from the surrounding, only an endless green.

”Could it be the Magic Array?” Ye Xingchen frowned, and said with a low voice, ”That shouldn't be the case, how can there be no exit?”

”Could it be that all the people who come in are unable to find a way out, so they can't get out?” Ye Xingchen thought in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and slowly analyzed it.

Ye Xingchen saw a small path, and the entire small path was extremely long, with no end in sight.

Ye Xingchen stepped onto the small path and walked to the end of it.

And at this moment, the little lion in the inner circle was fighting with a Level Eight Demonic Beast.

If Ye Xingchen was here, he would have definitely realised that Xiao Shi had already levelled up to Level 6 Demonic Beast. Furthermore, Xiao Shi had a mutated physique, so her battle with the Level Eight Demonic Beast was not at a disadvantage at all.

After around fifteen minutes, Xiao Shi finally settled down the Level Eight Demonic Beast. He wanted to bring the Demonic Beast's corpse back to Ye Xingchen, but he was unable to do anything about it. As long as he abandoned the Level Eight Demonic Beast's corpse, he could return to the agreed upon place to wait for Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen's forehead was covered with sweat, and his face looked extremely ancient.

It had already been three days and three nights since he had last reached the end of the path. It was as if he had embarked on a road of no return.

He was also extremely anxious in his heart. What would he do if he could not leave the place? At this moment, Ye Xingchen was growing calmer and calmer.

Just as Ye Xingchen was feeling extremely helpless, he suddenly saw a small black dot in the distance.

Seeing this, Ye Xingchen seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw as he quickly ran.

Just like this, Ye Xingchen ran towards the little black dot. Seeing that the little black dot was getting bigger and bigger, Ye Xingchen revealed a smile on his face.

Just like this, Ye Xingchen walked with all his might for three days and three nights, and entered the small alleyway for six days. Ye Xingchen helplessly said, ”I think that even his parents are feeling extremely anxious, and the Family Competition has also been delayed.”

But after that, Ye Xingchen stopped thinking about it.

Following the small path, Ye Xingchen finally arrived at the vicinity of the small black dot. Looking ahead, he saw that he was already at the end of the small path, and this small black dot was a black altar.

There were many different patterns on the altar, Ye Xingchen did not recognize any of them.

”What kind of altar is this?” Could it be that there really is an ancient Great Expert's tomb? ”

Just as Ye Xingchen wanted to step onto the altar, suddenly, an altar appeared out of nowhere beside him. This altar was completely the opposite of the altar from before, it was completely white, but the pattern was actually the same.

However, after the white altar appeared, a stone tablet also appeared beside Ye Xingchen. The stone tablet had a few small words written on it.

”Any practitioner of Ninth Level of Body Refinement can enter the Core Region. Warriors of Postnatal Stage and above are simply unable to break through the Inhibition and enter the Core Region.”
