Chapter 745

Zi Chen walked towards Medicine Refinery Peak. By the time he arrived, Qin He and Sun Jian had already cleaned up the medicinal pellets. Cauldron Spirit was standing at the side. Zi Chen asked the question that had been bothering him.

"The Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest? You have actually discovered this place," Cauldron Spirit's expression turned somewhat peculiar after hearing the news.

"Senior knows about that place," Zi Chen's eyes lit up.

A trace of disdain flashed across Cauldron Spirit's face as he said, "How could I not know about the place where the Sect Master of the Everlasting Sect was so obsessed with becoming a god that he even dared to attack Lightning Divine Palace. Naturally, he would do his best to challenge the Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest."

"Then, did he succeed?"

Zi Chen blurted out. But he immediately regretted it. If Cauldron Spirit had succeeded, he would have had nothing to do with it.

"Succeed my ass. They let so many talented cultivators in, but less than one in a thousand came out alive," Cauldron Spirit's tone was very cold. His words revealed his dissatisfaction with the Everlasting Sect.

Zi Chen understood the important information in Cauldron Spirit's words. He asked, "Senior, you mean that one can still come out after entering the Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest?"

"Of course. It's not a dead end. Of course, one can come out after entering it. However, it seems that the further one walks, the closer one gets to the dead end. Entering the Path of Godhood is the same as stepping onto the Path of Death," Cauldron Spirit continued to mock.

"Senior, can you explain it to me in detail?" Zi Chen had an expectant look on his face.

"There's nothing much to say. It's just an ancient road of training. It's monotonous, dull, and boring. However, the ones blocking the road are all extremely powerful existences. Ordinary people are simply courting death if they enter."

Cauldron Spirit looked at Zi Chen and said, "Even if you, a Yin Yang Symbiosis cultivator, enter the Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest, you will still die if you are unlucky. However, if you are lucky enough to reach the end of the Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest, you will definitely reach the Mortal Origin Realm."

"In the past, there were many Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest. But after completing the Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest, you will have the right to choose whether to leave or continue. Of course, it is not easy to complete the Ancient Road of Trials of the Strongest. Back then, there were many talented cultivators in the Everlasting Sect, but 44% of them never came out alive."

After explaining some of the situations on the Ancient Road, Cauldron Spirit warned, "You must be fully prepared before you enter the Ancient Road. This includes weapons that can maximize your combat strength, defensive measures that can protect you from harm, and medicinal pellets and other resources."

"Resources? What's the point of taking resources?"

Zi Chen was puzzled. Weapons, defense, and elixirs could all be used. Zi Chen knew this, but he didn't understand why they had to take resources.

Cauldron Spirit lightly groaned and said, "The Ancient Road of Trial covers the entire Martial Heaven Continent. Not only does it cover the Fringe and the Great Desolation, but it also covers the entire south, east, west, north, center, and all other regions. As long as you find a passageway, you can enter it. Countless Dan Yuan experts from all over the continent will enter the Ancient Road of Trial. With so many people, it is only natural that they will encounter each other. Under certain circumstances, they will trade with each other.

"Then what do you need to take? Ki stones?" asked Zi Chen. Ki stones seemed to be the common currency of the Martial Heaven Continent. They could be used anywhere.

"Rather than ki stones, you might as well take the blood essence of ancient beasts. However, ordinary ancient beast blood essence isn't something that anyone would want on the Ancient Road of Trial. Therefore, you can take the blood essence of king ancient beasts, or some yuan elixir or yuan rejuvenation pills."

Zi Chen understood that yuan elixir was an advanced version of ki stones. It could be used to recover and make breakthroughs. However, it seemed that yuan rejuvenation pills wouldn't be as effective as yuan elixir after being refined. They would only be able to recover energy within the body.

"Back then, the Boundless Sect cultivators who entered the Ancient Road of Trial mostly brought along yuan rejuvenation pills. Although they are more expensive than yuan elixir droplets, they are worth the same as yuan elixir droplets.

"No one knows whether entering the Ancient Road of Trial is a good thing or a bad thing. But as far as I know, the Boundless Sect had many outstanding talents who could have achieved great things in the future even without entering the Ancient Road of Trial. However, all of them died the moment they entered the Ancient Road of Trial.

"That is the graveyard of experts, geniuses, and monstrous geniuses. Even Empyrean experts would die a horrible death there. Other than being strong enough, luck is more important."

In truth, Cauldron Spirit still didn't recommend Zi Chen to enter the Ancient Road of Trial.

However, by the time Zi Chen walked out of Alchemy Peak, he had already made up his mind to enter the Ancient Road of Trial. Other than the fact that Cauldron Spirit mentioned that there was an exit, what Zi Chen cared about the most was that the Ancient Road of Trial was open to all Primal Core cultivators of the Martial Heaven Continent.

After so many years had passed, Lin Xue and Su Mengyao who possessed extraordinary talent must have also entered the Primal Core realm. Perhaps they would also enter the Ancient Road of Trial at this time.

After Zi Chen returned to Skybarbarian Hall, he informed the demonic ape and Tyrant of the news. Of course, he also informed them of the dangers in the Ancient Road of Trial. However, the two of them were very happy to hear the news and automatically ignored the dangers in the Ancient Road of Trial.

As cultivators, the two of them had experienced plenty of dangers as they walked step by step.

Soon after, Zi Chen instructed Cauldron Spirit to refine the medicinal pellets that they would be taking with them. Fortunately, there were only three of them and not a lot of medicinal pellets were required. During this period of time, the three of them made a trip to the Treasure Pavilion and cleaned out their spiritual rings.

The three of them took out everything that was below the Core Core realm, or things that they didn't need, and emptied the spirit rings. Then, the three of them took out some useful king level ancient beasts' blood essence. The carnivorous devil ape even took out a lot of sealed king level ancient beasts' meat.

"Take some blood essences of Human Origin realm Primal Beasts as well. They might be useful," Zi Chen said to Tyrant and the demonic ape after picking out the items that he needed.

The Heavenly Barbarian Hall was like home to them. Naturally, the two of them wouldn't stand on ceremony. They went straight to the fourth floor and took some blood essences of Human Origin realm Primal Beasts. Human Origin realm Primal Beasts' blood essences were equivalent to the ancient antiques in the Ancient World.

"It's a pity that Longhu isn't here. If he was, we could have taken a few drops of blood essences of supreme Primal Beasts," Tyrant couldn't help but sigh after taking away the blood essences.

"If you dare to take Longhu's blood, he might come back and fight you to the death," said the demonic ape with a smile.

"We only have two months. There's not enough time. If we have enough time, we can refine a defensive formation for each of us."

Zi Chen shook his head. He then looked at the two of them and said, "If you need a defensive formation, each of you can take one."

"There's no need. My black rod is the most valuable treasure of the Sky Splitting Battle Ape lineage. Its quality is much better than a defensive formation. It's just that I can't unleash its full power yet." The demonic ape shook its head.

Zi Chen looked at Tyrant. The latter also shook his head and said, "I don't need it either. The Demon Subduing Pestle is very suitable for me now."

Then, the two of them looked at Zi Chen. Tyrant asked, "How about you? If you don't choose a defensive formation, are you going to take that broken spear to the Ancient Road?"

"When this broken spear was in good condition, it was definitely not an ordinary item," said Zi Chen seriously.

Tyrant's face was full of sarcasm. "But when it's broken, it's just a broken spear. A high-quality defensive formation can destroy it. I see that there are more and more cracks on it. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand too many attacks before it explodes."

"That's right. These cracks are too fatal, so I plan to refine one myself," said Zi Chen with a smile.

"Refine one yourself? Are you kidding me? Apart from fighting and killing, do you know how to knock and knock?" Tyrant teased.

"Do you think that my 85 years of slumber was just a dream? In the path of refining, although my practical skills can't compare to the Liu family, when it comes to theory, the entire Liu family combined can't compare to me," said Zi Chen confidently.

"With only two months, you think you can refine a decent defensive formation with your theory and the Liu family's practice?"

After putting away everything, the three of them went downstairs and left the Treasure Pavilion.

"Of course, there's no time to refine a new one. But if you want to repair this broken spear, two months should be enough."

Zi Chen said, "But before that, I need to find a material that can maximize my combat strength and integrate it into the broken spear."

"What material?" The two of them were curious.

"Thunder Crystal," said Zi Chen.

The two of them shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.

"That thing only has a chance of being born in a place where thunder and lightning grow. And after being baptized by thunder and lightning, the thunder crystal is like a solid thunder and lightning. As long as the thunder crystal is integrated into the weapon, the power of thunder martial arts will naturally become stronger," explained Zi Chen.

"That's reasonable. But do you think there's a place in this area that has thunder for 79 hours a day?" Tyrant suddenly turned around and looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Of course there isn't in this area, but there is in the barbarian land. The Thunder Region has been formed for ten thousand years. I don't believe that there can't be thunder crystals in ten thousand years."

Tyrant suddenly understood and said, "So it's that broken place. That's possible."

Zi Chen cultivated thunder and lightning martial arts. To him, the Thunder Region was a blessed land. He had used the thunder and lightning there many times to kill his enemies and escape. But to others, it was an undeniably dangerous place. Not to mention Dan Yuan, even a Mortal Yuan cultivator would be shocked when they heard about it.

Time was running out. Zi Chen decided to go to the Thunder Region immediately. But in the meantime, he had to make preparations in advance.

He asked someone to inform the Liu family in the market to stop all business of refining elixir weapons for the next few days. He also gathered all the capable refiners together and prepared to start a fire to restore his foundation.

After the Liu family's strongest expert received the news, he didn't dare to delay and personally came to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion to meet Zi Chen. Seeing the Liu family's Dan Yuan, Zi Chen explained his plan in detail. The Liu family's Dan Yuan patted his chest and promised that there would be no problem.

The next day, Zi Chen left. He displayed his extreme speed and went straight to the teleportation array outside. Because of the urgency of time, he didn't bring Yue 'er.

At full speed, Zi Chen only used two days to reach the barbarian land. A few hours later, he arrived outside the Thunder Region.

There were no animals or birds within a few miles of the Thunder Region. Inside the Thunder Region, there was still thunder and lightning, no different from a few decades ago. Everything was still the same.

The power of thunder was still the same, but the extremely frightening power of the past was nothing in the eyes of the current Zi Chen.

Outside the Thunder Region was a no-fly zone. Once one flew in the air, they would be bombarded by thunder and lightning. Now, Zi Chen was confident that he wouldn't trigger the fluctuation of thunder and lightning energy in the Thunder Region.
