Chapter 1305 Wandering the World, Adventuring in the Darkness Continent!

“Why are there no more commotions? Did they stop fighting?

Sun Mo stood near the window but sadly, their distance was too far away and he wasn’t able to see the battle situation.

“Teacher, the saint ran away.”

Lu Zhiruo’s hurried footsteps rang out in the corridor. Clearly, she came to update Sun Mo. But an instant later, she suddenly screamed in shock.

“Ah, who are you? Release me!”

Va 1

Hearing this, Sun Mo started. He then rushed to the corridor and saw a man grabbing Lu Zhiruo’s neck with one of his hands, subduing her.

“Scram!”

Sun Mo activated the Starflash Pearl and appeared beside the guy. He then threw a heavy punch toward the guy’s head.

Bang!

The man received this punch, and the powerful impact caused him to stumble backward. Swish! Swish! Swish!

Sun Mo slashed out numerous times with his blade and seized Lu Zhiruo back.

“It has been ten years since we last met, you are even more powerful now!”

The man surveyed Sun Mo.

“It’s you?”

Lu Zhiruo recognized this fellow. His name was Lu Feng and he had once kidnapped her in a great teacher examination ten years ago.

However, Sun Mo ignored Lu Feng. He carried the papaya girl with one hand and teleported back to the medical treatment room, worried that something might happen to Ying Baiwu. Sadly, he still arrived too late.

There was no one on the sickbed, only a lingering warmth was left.

“F***!”

Sun Mo was badly enraged. He rushed out again, but Lu Feng was already nowhere to be seen.

“Scram out for me!”

Sun Mo roared in anger.

“If you want to see your student, come to the Darkness Continent and find me!”

Lu Feng was very proud. After completing the mission his teacher assigned him, he actually wanted to have a go at Sun Mo. But the exchange of blows from earlier made him understand that he wasn’t Sun Mo’s opponent.

“I’m going to kill all of you!”

Sun Mo was angry at himself and felt a sense of self-reproach.

He was already very careful, but how did he still fall into a trap?

“T…teacher, I’m sorry!”

Lu Zhiruo sobbed. If it wasn’t for her teacher making a move to save her, he wouldn’t have left the medical treatment room, and the other party wouldn’t have had a chance to succeed.

“This has nothing to do with you.”

Sun Mo slammed a punch into the wall.

Rumble!

The wall collapsed as clouds of dirt and dust flew around.

At the outskirts, Ji Shiwen lost. “You have lived for so many years and should be content. Now, just be at peace and allow me to harvest you!”

An Zaiyi surveyed Ji Shiwen.

“Haha, you must be dreaming!”

After Ji Shiwen finished speaking, he chose to self-explode.

“It’s useless to commit suicide. Mn?”

An Zaiyi’s expression drastically changed because the self-explosion was fake. Ji Shiwen had used the moment of distraction to escape instead.

“That damnable fellow actually played me?”

No matter what, Ji Shiwen was the Dawn Sovereign. Moreover, after pursuing the world’s secrets for so many years, he had learned some tricks.

Ever since he became a saint, he treated every day as the last day of his life. This was especially so after he knew An Zaiyi had awakened. He knew he didn’t have much time left.

The confrontation this time around was also an experiment.

Although Ji Shiwen fled, the great teachers of the Skyraise Academy didn’t try to capture him and ‘cleanse’ the school. Firstly, it was because they couldn’t defeat him. Secondly, snatching the headmaster position was the most important thing for them.

Because of it, all factions of power started to eye each other, except for Sun Mo.

Although he was a vice headmaster, he had no foundation here. Hence, he was completely disregarded.

Fortunately, Sun Mo didn’t care for the seat of the headmaster.

“It’s a pity. From now on, the Skyraise Academy is going to decline!”.

When they sat on a carriage and were preparing to leave, Qin Yaoguang stared at the majestic school gate and sigh.

The glory brought by Ji Shiwen to this school also faded away along with his departure.

Upon his return, Sun Mo didn’t delay and went to look for An Xinhui.

“I’m preparing to make a trip to the Darkness Continent. Please help me take care of Ziqi, Zhiruo, and the others.”

Upon hearing Sun Mo’s dire tone like he was making arrangements for things that might happen after his funeral, An Xinhui felt very panicky. “Let me go with you.”

“No need, I don’t know how long this trip of mine would take.”

Sun Mo bitterly smiled.

“Is it for Baiwu?”

Seeing Sun Mo nodding, she knew that if he couldn’t find Ying Baiwu, he probably wouldn’t return to the Nine Provinces, causing her to feel extremely sorrowful.

Right now, the fame of the Central Province Academy was rising every day. Her fiance’s fame was known throughout the world, and the grandpa she respected had also awakened…

But why did she feel so sad despite everything being so positive? “Your current fame is like the sun in the sky. Maybe, you are even qualified to vie for a vice sect lord’s position in the Saint Gate. If you leave the great teacher world of the Nine Provinces now, it would be too much of a pity.”

An Xinhui was worried.

The Darkness Continent was truly too dangerous. When people headed there to adventure, they would do so in groups. But even so, the entire group would frequently face the danger of annihilation. By heading there alone, Sun Mo was simply courting death. “Enough, don’t persuade me anymore!”

Sun Mo was determined to go. “If I cannot even protect my students, what do I have to be proud of even if I became a saint or the Saint Gate Sect Lord?”

The moment Sun Mo thought of Ying Baiwu, the girl who worshiped him and worked so hard for his glory, he felt so much heartache.

“Take good care of yourself, Xinhui.”

Sun Mo then walked away after he finished speaking

“Little Momo!”

An Xinhui called out and hugged Sun Mo from behind, wanting to say ‘don’t leave me’. But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she felt she didn’t have the right to hold him back.

From the start, it had always been him helping her.

“Don’t worry. Before I kill all those damnable fellows, nothing will happen to me!”

Sun Mo patted An Xinhui’s hand. After that, he distanced himself from her arms and left without turning his head.

Not bidding farewell to Gu Xiuxun or his students, he directly mounted Little Silver and flew toward the teleportation gate, entering the Darkness Continent.

“Eldest Martial Sister, you should hurry up and persuade Teacher. I feel that he might do something reckless!”

When Lu Zhiruo got Li Ziqi back to the Central Province Academy, it was already too late.

After that, the two girls planned to look for Sun Mo, but they were confined by An Xinhui.

The Darkness Continent was a vast and mysterious land with the shape of a pyramidthe higher one headed up, the smaller the area. Up until now, people had only found six levels of it.

On this vast continent, the majority of places were virgin lands that no one had explored. It was filled with boundless possibilities and immense danger.

Every year, some people who could no longer make a living on the Nine Provinces, or adventurers who wanted to strike it rich would go to the Darkness Continent for risky adventures. When they formed groups, they would always hire one or two great teachers with profound knowledge.

It would be for the best if the great teachers were proficient in archaeology and botany.

It was because the danger of the Darkness Continent didn’t only lie in its unknown geographical terrain. There were unknown animals, wild beasts, dangerous plants, and poisonous herbs, not to mention many laws of nature that contained a multitude of changes.

For example, on the first level, the spirit qi fluctuations were very intense, and different areas had different spirit pressure that would range from high to low.

Because cultivators had spirit qi in their bodies, there was a difference between the concentration of spirit qi in their bodies and the environment. Hence, if the spirit pressure exceeded the range a cultivator could bear, they would either be injured in light cases or die in serious cases.

In places where spirit qi was either overly dense or sparse, cultivators wouldn’t be able to survive for long.

On the second level, cultivators would experience visual or auditory hallucinations.

Once they stepped onto the second level, their mental states would start to be corroded and they would often hear strange voices in their ears and be besieged by illusions.

Here, cultivators wouldn’t die, but they would go mad. Hence, adventurers on this level would occasionally run into madmen that roamed about incessantly.

The problem in the third level was spirit poison.

The spirit qi on this level contained unknown toxins, and once a cultivator absorbed the spirit qi into their bodies, upon reaching a certain limit, they would show signs of poisoning.

Back then, the third level was a forbidden zone of death, and this condition lasted until a saint discovered that juice made from the roots of a herb named Shangqin Grass could detoxify the poison. Only then did humans have the qualifications to explore this level.

But even then, the Saint Gate had issued a public announcement. Even if one continuously consumed the root juice, they had to leave the third level after a month and take a break.

Luckily, as long as one left the third level, the toxins would automatically be expelled from one’s body roughly in a year. However, this was a blessing in disguise. Because of the spirit poison, the third level was sparsely populated by humans, which meant that many valuable herbs and ferocious beasts had yet to be taken.

Therefore, many cultivators would give themselves a time limit of two years to prepare extensively. After that, they would do their best and acquire as many battle spoils as possible within a month.

At this moment, in a mountain range filled with oddly-shaped rocks, there was a small team of five people. They were riding on rock beasts and rapidly moving forward.

The rock beasts were extremely jagged and had sharp fangs, but strangely enough, they were herbivores and were very docile. Therefore, they were usually used as mounts to travel through mountains.

“It has been more than twenty days, but we have only found a single heart of darkness. This time around, the plan will probably fail.”

A young girl of 20 plus years old, who was clad in leather armor and armed with a curved blade, currently had a depressed look on her face.

“Don’t be discouraged. We found two last year, so it would be enough as long as we find two more this year.”

Chen Jian consoled her.

“Finding two in ten days… Do you think it’s possible?”

Zheng Hua sighed.

“Otherwise, what? Give up?” Zhang Xiang angrily scolded, “If you want to give up, you guys can leave now!”

“Zhang Xiang, what do you mean?” Zheng Hua was unhappy. “Even if we are to leave now, I’m qualified to take with me one heart of darkness!”

“As expected, you have this intention from the start!”

Zhang Xiang mocked.

The so-called hearts of darkness were actually the hearts of thorn beasts.

When this type of beast died, their heart would lose all blood and be petrified. It wasn’t a natural secret treasure and it only had a single effect-after wearing it as an accessory, it could mend and improve one’s mental state and perception. The law in the fourth level of the Darkness Continent was the law of reversal. It also meant that when cultivators entered this level, if they wanted to use their left hand, the thing that moved, in reality, would be their right hand. When they thought of stepping forth with their left foot, the one that stepped forth would surely be the right foot.

Because of this law, this level was known as the ‘Reverse Image Continent’. In any case, everything here was in reverse.

Ordinary experts had no way to get used to such a life of ‘reversal’, so they had to hunt thorn beasts to obtain their hearts of darkness. After wearing it as an accessory, their perception would be corrected to normal.

Back to the story… This team of five wanted to head to the fifth level to live. So, they naturally had to obtain hearts of darkness to travel through the fourth level. But from the current situation, it seemed that they probably had to wait for one more year. “If it wasn’t for you making a mistake at that time and allowing that thorn beast to flee, we would only be lacking a single heart of darkness now.”

Zheng Hua sneered.

“That wasn’t my mistake!”

Zhang Xiang turned red. “Alright, we are all friends that grew up together. Stop quarreling.”

The tall and sturdy guy walking ahead of the group turned his head back to persuade them. His name was Lu Guojing, and he was the oldest and strongest among them. Hence, he took the position of team leader.

The young girl also wanted to try persuading them, but her ears suddenly pricked as she heard the sounds of a thorn beast roaring. “Target discovered!”
