Chapter 21: The Foundation of Heaven and Earth (1)

  Misty Forest, which appeared 200 years ago, has always been shrouded in a layer of gray mist. Even the most scorching sunlight cannot dispel this layer of fog. Moreover, none of the hunters from the Zong domain who have entered the Misty Forest have ever come out alive. Gradually, the Misty Forest became a forbidden place in the hearts of the Zong domain hunters!

  If you look from the periphery of the misty forest, the slowly flowing gray fog gives people a sense of gloominess, and the strange beast roars that come out from time to time make people feel numb and fearful in their hearts.

  The villages that were originally on the outskirts of the Misty Forest have all been relocated to barren lands a hundred miles away, where they are re-cultivating and multiplying. This also shows how much the local people dislike living together with them.

  This matter had also attracted the attention of Huoyun Sect, and they sent a large number of disciples to investigate. However, the results of the investigation were not made public, and in the end, they only warned the surrounding villagers not to enter casually, after which the matter was dropped.

  Today, in the desolate wilderness beyond the misty forest, four small figures emerged from afar as the morning sun rose. The four people walked quickly, each carrying a long sword on their back.

  As they drew closer, with the help of sunlight, it was only then that one could clearly see that these four people were actually four boys around ten years old. Although the four were very calm and composed, they couldn't hide their youthful appearance, and these four were precisely Chang Sheng and his companions.

  The night before departure, Yan Long's expression was extremely strange! It should be shocking with strangeness! In fact, as a super strong man in the middle of the Tribulation Crossing stage, his divine consciousness couldn't enter the body of someone who had just entered the cultivation sequence and was only at the initial stage of foundation building. And this person who was at the initial stage of foundation building was also his exceptionally familiar disciple!

  As an apprentice, Chang Sheng would not have been able to block Master's divine consciousness probe. Yan Long was very clear about this, and seeing Chang Sheng's surprised gaze also confirmed this statement. So, what helped Chang Sheng block his own divine consciousness? Yan Long couldn't figure it out!

  Slowly recalling the divine sense he had sent out, Yan Long carefully looked at Chang Sheng's tender face and wondered what had happened to him in the outer sect's library over the past few days that could have caused such a drastic change.

  "Quickly, tell Master what you've been doing in the library these past few days?" Yan Long's hands involuntarily grasped Chang Sheng's shoulders as he asked anxiously.

  "Good disciple!" This was the first time Chang Sheng had heard Yan Long address him in this way. Thinking back to the anomaly earlier, Chang Sheng also had many questions, and the only one who could provide him with answers was this master who was about to undergo his third heavenly tribulation!

  The apprentice followed the master's instructions and entered the library to review the basics of the Five Elements' Kung Fu. He wanted to learn something from it. The first book he picked up was the Fire Element's "Flaming Spirit Manual". As he read through the manual, he became so engrossed that his body involuntarily followed the internal energy circulation route described in the book and started to move on its own.
