672: Chapter 670 Arrival at the Yellow Sand Secret Realm

"Compared to the future visions deduced through [Peeping Fate], I arrived near the prefecture city of Eastern Prefecture a bit earlier in reality..."

"Besides that, in the deduced future, I did not see Qi Mingzhen appear either."

"Thus, this [Peeping Fate] Talent is indeed as [Future Tang Zheng] said. In essence, it deduces things through known information and assumptions. Since the future has not yet happened, it is diverse and variable, holding countless possibilities. Every minor detail change could lead to a different future. The deduced scenes are not necessarily complete, and there might even be errors or omissions..."

Chu Xuan recalled his conversation with [Future Tang Zheng] in the dream before.

According to the other party, this Talent was indeed powerful, but its most correct usage was to deduce based on the premonition of possible impending death scenes, thereby finding the correct path to survival.

However, for himself, who could already rehearse in dreams and especially communicate with [Future Tang Zheng], it was rather tasteless and might lead to misguidance.

Because the death scenes seen might not necessarily result in actual death.

Afterwards, [Future Tang Zheng] also emphasized that although his strength improved fast enough to surpass everyone in an extremely short time, it was still far from enough to deal with the continuous crises.

The other party's underlying meaning was very simple: this Talent was indeed excellent for staying alive, but wanting to rapidly increase strength often required doing some risky things, pulling chestnuts from the fire.

And this matter of pulling chestnuts from the fire was undoubtedly the incomplete content that the other party finally wanted to tell him—

[The Land of Fallen Gods... The Burial Place of the Life Mother Nest...]

"The Burial Place of the Life Mother Nest..." Chu Xuan muttered inwardly.

One could imagine that this matter, which did not happen in the future mentioned by [Future Tang Zheng] but which he strongly urged him to do, must be extremely dangerous.

It was even highly likely that some kind of trap existed...

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind.

At this time, the vanguard sent out by Chu Xuan to scout the prefecture city Secret Realm in advance returned to report that everything inside the Secret Realm was fine.

Chu Xuan glanced indifferently at this insider who was obviously from the Four Great Sects.

Under Chu Xuan's gaze, this Heavenly Dao Alliance hall envoy, who possessed the cultivation of the Earth Realm in martial arts, felt nervous inside but remained very calm on the surface, cupping his fists and saying:

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, according to scouting reports, the Great Cang Dynasty already knows that we intend to attack the capital and has assembled a large army, preparing to come to Eastern Prefecture through the Secret Realm to wipe out our main force in Eastern Prefecture in one fell swoop!"

"Good! Since that's the case, let us ambush in the Secret Realm in advance, waiting for them while rested, and catch them off guard!" Chu Xuan waved his hand:

"Full speed ahead!"

In the visions deduced by [Peeping Fate], Chu Xuan led the Heavenly Dao Alliance's army of Martial Artists until reaching outside the Secret Realm, only to learn that experts had long been lying in ambush within.

Afterwards, after discovering that the ambush failed, the Four Sects' Martial Artists surged directly out from the Secret Realm. Just as Chu Xuan was participating in the fierce battle, a Shengyuan Realm expert hidden within launched a joint siege against him.

Having learned the progress that might happen in the future, Chu Xuan deliberately sent only the Four Sects' insiders to scout, without exposing all of this, and still advanced toward the Secret Realm at full speed.

Before long, Chu Xuan saw from afar a vast expanse of yellow sand connecting heaven and earth ahead.

Eastern Prefecture had many barren lands and yellow soil.

And in an area about 30 kilometers outside the prefecture city, yellow sand filled the sky all year round, and storms never ceased.

This was the Yellow Sand Secret Realm.

It could span a hundred thousand li, allowing one to go from Eastern Prefecture at the fastest speed and arrive directly three thousand li outside the capital of the Great Cang Dynasty in Central Prefecture.

However, within this Yellow Sand Secret Realm, there were no rare treasures or herbs, and the yellow sand inside was violent.

Ordinary people, let alone entering, would find it unbearable even if they were just a little closer, and would be battered by the blown yellow sand into dense blood spots.

Therefore, few people frequented this place year-round.

Only Martial Artists who had broken through the Body Tempering Realm and reached the Qi Gathering Realm—having abundant blood Qi, strong bones and muscles, and true Qi protection—were qualified to enter.

And even for Martial Artists, if they stayed inside for too long and were blown for a long time, bodies as tough as refined iron would gradually fail to support them, ultimately becoming piles of white bones.

Only Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qis Originating at the Origin could travel unhindered, basically ignoring the sweeping violent yellow sand.

At this time, just as Chu Xuan was observing the strange sight of the sky-filling yellow sand, two Heavenly Dao Alliance hall envoys who had been ordered to personally lead people to scout came forward together to report.

One of them cupped his fists and said:

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the Great Cang Dynasty's army of Martial Artists has already begun to advance. At the same time, they have dispatched two elite teams, each led by one Heaven Realm Martial Artist, three Earth Realm, five Human Realm Martial Artists, and eight hundred Peak Qi Gathering elite Martial Artists acting in advance, attempting to block us outside Eastern Prefecture city."

"If each of these two elite teams can assemble into a Formation, they will be comparable to Shengyuan Realm experts!"

"In at most one hour, these two teams will enter the Secret Realm from Central Prefecture!"

Another person added, "Alliance Leader Zhou, the Martial Artists accompanying this trip have all reached the Qi Gathering Realm. Even with yellow sand filling the sky, they can resist it for half a day without danger."

"Our Heavenly Dao Alliance's assembly Formation is not inferior to the Great Cang Dynasty's, and we can form up to three battle arrays comparable to Shengyuan Realm Martial Artists.

Setting an ambush in advance is the best opportunity for us. We can preempt them, prevent them from assembling into Formations, and deal them a heavy blow by surprise. If we can wipe out these two elite forces in one fell swoop, this battle will secure our victory!"

These two people spoke one after another, attempting to create a tense atmosphere for Chu Xuan and get him to enter the Yellow Sand Secret Realm as soon as possible.

Chu Xuan already knew that it wasn't two elite teams about to enter from Central Prefecture in another direction, but rather that the entire army of Martial Artists was already waiting inside.

Not only that, there were also several Shengyuan Realm Martial Artists and several Strange Creatures from the Shendao Sect, all preparing to assassinate Chu Xuan at a critical moment.

Regarding this, Chu Xuan already had a plan.

He first glanced at Xuanchen and Chili, speaking indifferently, "Two Protectors, what do you think?"

Chu Xuan's words seemed to be seeking the opinions of Xuanchen and Chili, but the underlying meaning was asking, "Are the experts of the Shendao Sect ready?"

The two cupped their fists one after another, "We respectfully obey the Alliance Leader's command!"

Amidst their words, the two looked up at Chu Xuan with profound gazes, as if saying: No problem, the vanguards of our Shendao Sect are all ready, just waiting for you to lead the charge.

Chu Xuan sneered inwardly, while on the surface remaining as calm as usual, and similarly returned a gaze full of profound meaning.

At the same time, Chu Xuan suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Chu Xuan, I have arrived."
