Chapter 902

This was a place that Zi Chen had specially chosen. It was surrounded by an empty area. At that moment, these mutated beasts appeared in front of the demonic ape without holding back. They approached from all directions.

Their eyes flashed with a different kind of emotion.

The demonic ape stood with its staff in hand. Black light surged around its body as it prepared for battle. Beside it, the pillar of light on Zi Chen's body still existed. He was still unconscious. As for the two avatars, they had long disappeared when Zi Chen fainted.

In the blink of an eye, the mutated beasts arrived a hundred meters away from the demonic ape and formed a circle. The demonic ape's aura rose violently as its cold eyes swept its surroundings.

However, when the mutated beasts were a hundred meters away, they didn't attack. Instead, they stood there motionless.

Just as the demonic ape was feeling puzzled, it heard a sound again. This time, it was footsteps. It could only hear the sound and couldn't see the owner of the sound. Its spiritual perception couldn't detect the owner either.

As the footsteps sounded, the eyes of the mutated beasts fluctuated. They seemed to become excited and fanatical in the next moment.

A human figure appeared in the demonic ape's line of sight. It was a tall human dressed in black. He was two meters tall. In the human world, two meters tall was considered tall.

He walked over with his gaze fixed on the pillar of light. He seemed to be the king of the mutated beasts. Wherever he passed, the mutated beasts would make way for him. When he came close, his gaze moved away from the pillar of light and landed on the demonic ape.

Upon seeing the demonic ape, a strange glint flashed in the man's eyes, but he didn't say a word.

The demonic ape also looked at the man quietly without saying a word. All it did was grip the black staff in its hand tightly.

Both parties looked at each other silently.

The pillar of light on Zi Chen's body was fading, as though it could disappear at any moment. In Abdomen, golden light had already filled Zi Chen's entire Lightning Elemental. The Connate Essence Energy in the Lightning Elemental also had a pure golden light. This golden light was attempting to change Zi Chen's essence energy.

The blood that Zi Chen had previously drained was regenerating under the Perfect Body. This time, the golden light in the regenerated blood was even richer and seemed to be purer.

Zi Chen fell into a deep slumber from his unconscious state. Then, he stretched his body and opened his eyes reluctantly.

When Zi Chen opened his eyes, he saw the blue sky and the glaring golden sun. He also heard the sounds of fighting.

The laziness on Zi Chen's face instantly disappeared. He jumped up from the ground, vigilance rising in his heart. After jumping up, Zi Chen saw the demonic ape, the exotic beasts in the surroundings, the tall man, and the sounds of fighting in the distance.

Seeing Zi Chen stand up, the Devil Ape let out a sigh of relief. Zi Chen did not look at the tall man. Instead, he walked towards the Devil Ape and asked, "What's going on?"

"You suddenly fainted, and then a pillar of light shot out from your body. They came here by following the pillar of light," the demonic ape explained, loosening the black rod in its hand.

Zi Chen turned his head and his eyes fell on the tall man. He asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and said, "You can call me Hei Ba."

"Why are you here?"

The man said, "I'm here to protect you."

Zi Chen sneered, "Protect me."

"That's right. Without my protection, the two of you would have been torn apart by other things."

While the two were talking, the fighting was still going on, but it was in the distance. Judging from the sounds, it was not more than ten miles away. However, with his spiritual sense, he could not find anything. It seemed that spiritual sense had completely lost its effect here.

Zi Chen naturally did not believe the man's words. He said coldly, "You must be here because of the golden light, right?"

"That's right. I saw the golden light and came here to look for treasures, but there are no treasures here," the man admitted.

Then he said, "You must have just arrived on this ancient road. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my place."

Zi Chen's expression changed. He asked, "What did you say? This is the ancient road."

The man nodded and said, "This is the ancient road. Why? Are you not trial-takers?"

Zi Chen's expression became strange. He looked at the demon ape and realized that the other party was also confused. They should have left the ancient road, so why were they still on it?

However, Zi Chen soon understood that all this seemed to be deliberately done by the old man. This should be the ancient road, and it was controlled by the ancient race. The five elements forces did not know and could not sense it.

Zi Chen's expression was seen by the man. He smiled and said, "Could it be that you guys came here by accident? I knew it. There are still two years before the opening of the treasure land, but you guys came so early. However, you guys are extremely lucky. Others have waited for more than a thousand years to find the Heavenly Book, but you guys came at the right time."

"Heavenly Book? You just said the Heavenly Book." Zi Chen frowned.

The man looked around and smiled. "This is not the place to talk. Why don't you come to my place? I have some good tea."

The other party first mentioned the Heavenly Book and then invited him. Zi Chen naturally could not refuse. He looked at the demon ape and then nodded.

Zi Chen and the demon ape walked toward the man. The man laughed and then said to the strange beasts, "Children, let's go."

The strange beasts turned around and walked forward.

Zi Chen looked at the strange beasts and frowned. "These are …"

The man smiled. "These are the strange beasts I tamed out of boredom."

Zi Chen nodded and did not say anything. The demon ape did the same.

Along the way, Zi Chen asked some questions about this world, and the man answered all of them. He answered all of them, and all of them were important points. Zi Chen was very satisfied.

"Zi Chen, you just came here. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask." Hei Ba smiled.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "One last question. Why can't we use our spiritual senses here?"

Hei Ba said, "It's not that we can't use it. It should be that we can't detect special life forms."

"Special life forms." Zi Chen did not understand.

"It is what we call the Inner Core Realm. No matter if it is a human or a strange beast, once they reach the Inner Core Realm, their spiritual senses cannot detect them."

Seeing that Zi Chen was about to ask more questions, Hei Ba shook his head and said, "I am not too sure about this. It seems to be because of the rules here. But there is another theory that it has something to do with the Heavenly Book."

Hei Ba's residence was a cave. It was very large and luxuriously decorated. In Hei Ba's words, he had lived here for thousands of years. This was his home. Naturally, he had to decorate it well.

Hei Ba was very enthusiastic. He gestured for Zi Chen and the demon ape to sit. He took out his collection and personally made tea for them.

After sitting down, Zi Chen took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother Hei Ba, what you said about the Heavenly Book? Is it true?"

"Of course it is. I have stayed in this broken place for so many years. Isn't it for the Heavenly Book?" Hei Ba's emotions fluctuated.

"Has the Heavenly Book ever appeared?" Zi Chen asked.

"It appeared a thousand years ago. It turned into a ray of golden light and flew away. When we were chasing it, we lost it." Hei Ba was annoyed.

"What is recorded in the Heavenly Book? What powerful spell?" Zi Chen asked.

Hei Ba said, "It is not an offensive spell. It is said to be a one-page Spirit Cultivation Spell."

"A Spirit Cultivation Spell?" The demon ape exclaimed, "Is there really such a thing as a Spirit Cultivation Spell?"

Zi Chen's face was also filled with shock.

Hei Ba was stunned. Then he laughed and explained, "You have misunderstood. The so-called Spirit Cultivation Spell is a spell that cultivates spiritual senses. Didn't you ask why there is something strange about spiritual senses here? It is said that the one-page Heavenly Book is suppressing it."

Zi Chen nodded when he heard this. His eyes were filled with surprise, but in his heart, it was as if raging waves were rolling.

Of course he knew about the Spirit Cultivation Spell. The Ancient Clan Elder once said that there was a page in the Heavenly Book called the Human Page. The Human Page was composed of three pages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Once one obtained the three pages of the Heavenly Book, after breaking through to the Human Origin Stage, one would be the strongest cultivator in the same stage.

Zi Chen had already obtained two pages of Essence and Qi. He was only missing one page of Spirit Cultivation. He was supposed to be expelled, but now he was here. Coincidentally, there was news of a one-page Heavenly Book of Spirit Cultivation.

Could this be a coincidence? Of course not. The Ancient Clan Elder must have done this on purpose.

Zi Chen was shocked. Hei Ba was very satisfied. He then explained some legends about this world to them.

"There are still two years before the treasure land opens. In these two years, there will be challengers coming. Among them will be the Five Elements. When they arrive, they will clear the place. If there is nothing else, it is best that you do not go out." Hei Ba warned.

Zi Chen nodded to show that he understood.

"I have quite a few rooms here. I will get someone to bring you there."

Soon, a beautiful lady walked in. She brought the Devil Ape and Zi Chen to their rooms.

"There are two rooms here. You can have one each." The lady brought the two of them out of the room.

Zi Chen said, "No need. The two of us can stay in one room."

After Zi Chen said that, the lady looked at Zi Chen strangely. Zi Chen wanted to go into seclusion, and the Devil Ape was in charge of protecting him. Zi Chen did not find anything wrong with this.

However, after pushing open the door and entering, Zi Chen discovered the problem.

It was a very large room. The decorations were very luxurious. In the center of the room was not a table, but a large bed covered by a translucent white veil.

The bed was covered with a soft and beautiful bedding. When the bedding was pulled open, a lady was lying on the bed. Her smooth and slender legs were exposed. She was barefoot and did not seem to be wearing any clothes. When she saw Zi Chen and the Devil Ape enter at the same time, her eyes flashed with surprise.

"My master specially prepared this for the two of you. Their cultivation has been sealed, so they are at your disposal." The lady who brought Zi Chen in said.

Obviously, she meant that there was such a lady in the room next door.

"Your master is very thoughtful. But I need to go into seclusion. I don't need this service for now." Zi Chen smiled and refused.

"Very well. When you are done with your seclusion, let them come over."

At the lady's signal, the lady on the bed walked out. She was indeed not wearing any clothes. Her figure was very good. At this moment, she was completely exposed in front of Zi Chen. She did not feel embarrassed and slowly put on the almost transparent veil. During this time, her waist was constantly twisting like a water snake.

Zi Chen did not look away. His eyes were filled with greed as he stared at the lady's waist and round buttocks.

After the lady finished putting on her clothes, she turned around and deliberately sized up Zi Chen. With a burst of fragrance, the lady walked in front of Zi Chen. Her jade-like hand gently brushed across Zi Chen's cheek before reluctantly moving away.

Just after the lady left, the Devil Ape said, "Zi Chen, they are up to no good."

PS: The lack of updates means that the 055 yuan for this month's full attendance is gone. The loss is huge. While everyone is anxious, they do not know that I am even more upset and heartbroken. At the same time, I feel a little regret. If I had known, I would have updated that chapter in the morning.
