478: That kid from the True Sword Sect

So far, all of Chen Heng's Bloodlines have reached complete Perfection.

The main focus from now on will be on his Self-Transformation Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body and the Heaven and Earth Martial Scripture.

Oh, right, and the Dragon Tiger Strength, which he already uses as an instinctive reaction.

This thing is quite impressive; while other top-tier external martial arts became increasingly less effective, Dragon Tiger Strength has been able to accompany Chen Heng until now.

No matter what, Chen Heng had to try to Optimize Dragon Tiger Strength, after all, he had used it for such a long time.

But how to describe the Self-Transformation Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body and the Heaven and Earth Martial Scripture? They felt completely different from Dragon Tiger Strength to Chen Heng.

"Forget it, I'll just become as strong as I can be."

Chen Heng shook his head and continued to Optimize the few remaining Optimizable projects... Meanwhile, the Zhurong Tribe, who were rebuilding their camp, welcomed an uninvited guest.

But no one made a move, especially Bai Jun; he was staring at the person, eye to eye.

"How... did you get here?"

Bai Jun's eyes were full of confusion. Besides wanting to know how this person in front of him came to the Yin Side of the World, he also wanted to know how this guy survived.

"We didn't find you in Danqing Valley back then, we thought you were dead."

"Don't talk about me first, have you been to Danqing Valley?" The newcomer's tone was incredibly surprised, clearly unaware of what had happened outside.

"What exactly happened?"

...A few minutes later, Bai Jun and the newcomer roughly figured out what had happened.

This guy actually knew Bai Jun, and had known him since childhood.

It was just that one was from True Immortal Sect, and the other was from True Sword Sect.

That's right, this person was Yan Penglang, who had escaped from True Sword Sect back then.

After he escaped, he wandered around and found a world-suppressing nail that had already been opened. Thinking it was some ancient ruin, he plunged into it.

Yan Penglang's recklessness was no less than Chen Heng's; this kid didn't even consider if there would be any danger inside the world-suppressing nail.

However, the outcome was good; he not only gained nothing from the world-suppressing nail but also inexplicably appeared here.

"Look, see for yourself." Yan Penglang rolled up his sleeve, and his arm was covered in various totems.

"Ever since I came here, my strength has been improving day by day. This place is indeed a treasure land."

Yan Penglang still hadn't realized that his current location was not some blessed land that made him stronger at all...

"..." Bai Jun, Luo Shuo, Hui Che.

The three of them didn't know what to say about Yan Penglang.

But to sum it up, this guy had a really tough life.

They almost fell apart just landing, yet this kid, without any guidance and almost naked, actually became stronger.

The Sword Qi in his body had even changed color, from the pure Silver White Sword Qi to deep gray totem Sword Qi.

Should he be called a Genius, or someone with a not-so-good mind?

..."So, what happened in Danqing Valley? I was thinking of going back to stab the Valley Master of Danqing Valley to death with a single sword once I became strong enough."

Yan Penglang was very anxious now; he really wanted to know what had happened in the outside world.

Bai Jun thought about it. This matter would have to be told to him sooner or later. It was better to do it sooner rather than later, so he told him now...

A few minutes later, Bai Jun finished recounting the major events that had happened in the outside world using an extremely concise narrative.

See, Yan Penglang was still stunned in place, unable to recover.

"So, the place I am in now is the Yin Side of the World, where the root projection is, as you call it?"

"And then that Big Brother Chen beat the Emperor of Daliang, the root projection, and the Valley Master of Danqing Valley to death?"

"And then the outside world is now facing the risk of annihilation, and you few people are here to save the world??"

"Isn't this absurd? Just a few people..."

"It's not just us, is it? There's also the Imperial Research Institute of Chengtian Empire trying to figure out how to escape."

Bai Jun thought about it. What Yi Rui was doing now should also count as saving the world?

"?" Yan Penglang's eyes were full of question marks. He couldn't understand where they could escape to if the world was about to end.

"Yes, I didn't tell you about this. Before we came, we..." Bai Jun described the scenery outside the world.

The main point was still about them not finding the Immortal Realm.

"...?" Yan Penglang completely deflated after hearing that there was no Immortal Realm.

"Alright, why think so much? If we can't solve the great calamity of the root projection, let alone the Immortal Realm, we won't even be able to maintain our current lives."

Bai Jun patted Yan Penglang's shoulder and comforted him softly.

"I understand." It's unknown what Yan Penglang was thinking, but a few seconds later, he regained his spirited demeanor.

"Let me join you. I can say that I'm no weaker than our Sect Leader of True Sword Sect now."

Saying that, Yan Penglang drew the unassuming long sword from his waist.

Instantly, a towering Sword Intent rose from the ground, its sharpness comparable to Chen Heng's Gengjin Saber Qi back then.

And Yan Penglang himself was like a sharp sword composed of totems; that Aura was very subtle.

The perfect combination of swordsmanship and totem power described the current Yan Penglang.

"How is it? I feel like I'm pretty good, huh?" Yan Penglang raised an eyebrow; he was brimming with confidence now.

"Let's wait until Big Brother Chen returns before deciding." Bai Jun couldn't discern Yan Penglang's true depth, but he was likely not as good as him.

"Oh, come on, I can't go back for now anyway, so just let me tag along with you guys."

Yan Penglang finally showed his true intention.

He was stifled.

He had been on the Yin Side of the World for an unknown amount of time, and he hadn't met anyone he could talk to for even a few words.

If this continued, he would probably revert to his primitive state in a few more years.

"It's not impossible, but don't cause trouble then." Bai Jun thought about it. Yan Penglang joining them seemed to have no major impact.

"Okay, okay, I definitely won't cause trouble." Yan Penglang nodded repeatedly. He was overjoyed to have someone to talk to.

"But the specific matters still need to wait for Big Brother Chen..." Bai Jun was still uneasy. A reckless man with a similar degree of recklessness as Chen Heng was quite an unstable factor.

"I know, I know, just having someone to chat with me is fine."

Yan Penglang knew what Bai Jun was worried about.

"Alright then, Hui Che, you can preach to him." Bai Jun's eyes rolled. Handing this matter over to Hui Che seemed like a good idea.

"Yes, Benefactor Bai." Hui Che put his palms together in a bow, grabbed Yan Penglang by the collar, and pulled him aside.

"Ba ba ba..." Listening to Hui Che's chanting beside them, Bai Jun and Luo Shuo both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder how long Big Brother Chen's seclusion will take this time?" Luo Shuo sat down next to Bai Jun, looking at the Zhurong Tribe being rebuilt in the distance, and asked.

"Soon, I feel Big Brother Chen won't be able to sit still for more than a month at most."

Bai Jun roughly recalled the time; it shouldn't be too long now...

What Bai Jun said was indeed reasonable. After only ten days, Chen Heng was already getting a little restless.

But Optimizing too many things at once was prone to problems, and the recovery time for one incident was enough to bother Chen Heng.

It was better to take it one step at a time...
