59: Chapter 59: Xiang Zhili and Han Li!

Before long, the slots for the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land were filled.

After all, everyone knew that if they missed this opportunity, the next one would only be more brutal!

Under these circumstances, anyone with even a bit of sense would choose this time.

However, Zhao Changsheng, who knew the plot, was well aware that if they missed this chance, there would absolutely never be another.

Because soon, the Yue Country Cultivation World would be invaded by the Demonic Path. Although he had informed the Sect Head in advance, it remained to be seen whether Yellow Maple Valley could prepare in time.

Even if they prepared in advance, they might not necessarily be able to withstand the Demonic Path's invasion.

In fact, they most likely wouldn't be able to resist, as the gap between the two sides was simply too vast; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the difference between heaven and earth.

Even if the Seven Sects of Yue Country joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the Ghost Spirit Sect, the lowest-ranked among the Six Demonic Sects of Tianluo Kingdom.

This was the gap between the two sides—it was truly immense.

Under such conditions, even with full preparation, they wouldn't be able to hold out unless they found another way to resolve it.

Yet, in the original plot, even with the help of the Cultivation Worlds of the Yuanwu Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom, they still couldn't stop the Demonic Path's invasion.

After all, the difference in strength was too great, and ultimately, several countries fell directly.

Therefore, Zhao Changsheng decided that after obtaining the chest from the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, he would immediately leave the Yue Country Cultivation World and head to the Chaotic Star Sea to Cultivate.

In any case, he had basically obtained everything he could, and only needed to complete the final task.

Once the task was finished, he could go to the Chaotic Star Sea to Cultivate.

In the Chaotic Star Sea, he could just find any island or head to the Holy Mountain of Heavenly Star City to Cultivate.

Essentially, he wouldn't need to worry about anything else; he just had to focus on his cultivation to successfully achieve Forming the Golden Core.

At this thought, a hint of a smile appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.

He then took out some unused Talismans and distributed them to the Disciples entering the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land this time.

Among them was Xiang Zhili, that old monster at the Soul Transformation Stage.

Zhao Changsheng still felt a bit apprehensive about this Soul Transformation Stage old monster.

Zhao Changsheng had actually considered taking the risk of asking this old monster to be his master to see if he could get any good items from him, but after thinking it over, the idea was quickly extinguished.

It was far too risky and simply not worth it.

After all, unlike others, if he didn't have the System, he might have taken the risk; otherwise, even with his knowledge of the plot, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage or the Soul Transformation Stage would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

He might have even met a violent end at the hands of Mo Juren, let alone formally entering the Cultivation World and reaching his current Realm.

It wasn't that he wasn't cautious enough, but rather because he lacked sufficient resources.

In the Cultivation World, resources are the most important thing; without enough resources, one simply cannot become a high-level Cultivator, no matter how good their Spiritual Root and Aptitude are.

Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice; that's the principle.

Zhao Changsheng's act of giving Talismans to the Disciples heading to the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land also won him their goodwill.

Although the quantity wasn't large—only four or five per person—it was the thought that counted.

Especially for Xiang Zhili, the Soul Transformation Stage old monster, and another Disciple whose Realm hadn't even reached the twelfth level of the Qi Refinement Stage, Zhao Changsheng specifically gave each of them five.

Aside from those two, the others received similar amounts.

The Yellow Maple Valley Sect Head and others naturally had no objections to Zhao Changsheng's actions, and even Li Huayuan, who was leading the group, didn't mind.

Instead, he offered a few words of praise, making himself appear quite kind and approachable as an elder.

However, Li Huayuan didn't have such a good attitude toward others, not even toward the Sect Head of Yellow Maple Valley.

Soon, this Core Formation Stage Junior Martial Uncle summoned his Silver-Armored Horned Python and led everyone to the meeting place of the Seven Sects, before they all set off together for the entrance of the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

Zhao Changsheng was actually a bit envious of such a Yao Beast, but he was somewhat unimpressed by its speed.

He wondered if he could get a fast-flying Yao Beast in the future, like a Noble Bird.

Before long, the group from Yellow Maple Valley arrived at the meeting place of the Seven Sects.

Since the other sects had not yet arrived, they had some free time.

Zhao Changsheng took the opportunity to give Han Li a few more instructions, telling him to be extra careful, then said no more and found a spot to rest with his eyes closed.

No one in Yellow Maple Valley dared to disturb Zhao Changsheng while he was resting.

Although Zhao Changsheng appeared to be resting, his Divine Thought was actually constantly monitoring the surroundings, watching for any movement to avoid any unexpected occurrences.

What surprised Zhao Changsheng was that Xiang Zhili had actually chosen to seek cooperation with Han Li.

In the original plot, Xiang Zhili sought to cooperate with Han Li because their apparent Realms were almost identical.

But now, Han Li was one of the top Disciples heading to the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, so it was naturally impossible for him to cooperate with Xiang Zhili, and he politely declined.

Of course, other Disciples also wanted to cooperate with Han Li, such as the Chen siblings.

The two of them sought to cooperate with Han Li because, firstly, Han Li's own strength was quite formidable, ranking among the best of all the Disciples, and secondly, because of Zhao Changsheng, since Zhao Changsheng had saved Chen Qiaoqian.

And the reason Chen Qiaoqian came to the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land even though she already had a foundation establishment pill was also because of Zhao Changsheng.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the risk to come.

Chen Qiaoqian's elder brother was also having a bit of a headache over his sister's decision. He didn't dare to blame Zhao Changsheng; for one, Zhao Changsheng had saved his sister, and for another, the difference in their status was simply too vast for him to even consider blaming him.

The only way was to protect his sister as much as possible in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, so he chose to find a helper, and Han Li was the best choice.

This was because the two of them now had a bit of a connection.

But Han Li was currently unaware of the connection between them, so he naturally declined politely, saying he preferred to be alone and didn't like cooperating with others, telling Chen Qiaoqian's elder brother to find someone else and not to come to him.

Chen Qiaoqian's elder brother had no choice but to look for other partners, but no matter how much he searched, no one was willing to cooperate.

Clearly, unless there was complete trust between them, it was impossible to cooperate with others this time.

Because almost everyone knew that this Blood-Colored Trial was much more dangerous than previous ones.

Naturally, it was impossible to casually cooperate with someone they didn't trust; who knew if they would get stabbed in the back?

In the end, very few people chose to cooperate.

Zhao Changsheng was well aware of all this but had no intention of interfering.
