Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Soon Zhang Chen arrived at the Yunmeng Sect's assembly point. An extremely huge spirit ship was parked in the square. Hundreds of disciples had gathered on it. Most of them were Qi Condensation disciples, all of whom were cultivators with mediocre aptitude who wanted to give it a try.

Zhang Chen immediately flew onto the deck on his sword. Everyone looked over. Zhang Chen was well-known in the sect. Sima Feng was the head disciple, and Zhang Chen and him were as close as brothers. Everyone was also very respectful to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen heard them whispering and wondering why Zhang Chen would risk his life in the Purgatory Wasteland given his circumstances. There was no need for that at all.

When Zhang Chen heard these words, he could only smile bitterly. They thought they were living a good life, but they didn't know that they were facing life and death threats all the time and their life was not easy.

Just then, Nangong Yan came to Zhang Chen.

"Why do you want to take the risk there? You don't know how dangerous it is there. Besides, after so many years, the opportunities that could be obtained have long been taken away. How can the opportunities that cannot be taken away be so easy to obtain?"

"It doesn't matter. Isn't life an adventure? How can I retreat just because of danger? What if the opportunity is waiting for me? If I don't go, I will miss it."

Zhang Chen smiled and started joking.

"Well, then you should pay more attention to safety and don't try to show off. Here is for you. It contains records about the Purgatory Wasteland. They are all described by the disciples who went there before. You can refer to it."

Nangong Yan handed Zhang Chen two jade slips and gave him some instructions.

"Thank you very much."

Zhang Chen took the jade slip and bowed to Nangong Yan in gratitude

Soon, when the time came, the spirit ship began to rise into the air and headed towards the distance.

Zhang Chen held the jade slip in his hand and looked at the information recorded on it. Only then did he deeply realize the horror of the Purgatory Wasteland and his heart tightened involuntarily.

The spirit ship flew for five days and gradually approached the Purgatory Wasteland. Zhang Chen could clearly feel that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more desolate. The air seemed to be filled with a desolate atmosphere, making people feel cold and uncomfortable.

Another day passed, and the spirit ship stopped at a gap where two high mountains intersected. Inside the gap was the legendary purgatory wasteland.

Zhang Chen looked inside. It was all grey and he couldn't see clearly. Black cracks appeared in the air from time to time, and the aura they emitted made people tremble with fear.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Most of them were here for the first time, and their initial curiosity had turned into solemnity.

"My fellow disciples, the Purgatory Wasteland is ahead. Since you have chosen to come here, you should have been prepared. Everyone must unite and support each other. There are many dangers in there. If you are not careful, you will be annihilated. So when you feel that you are unable to do it, do not force yourself. Try to return the same way and come out with a useful body without shame."

A Jindan elder who was leading the team transmitted a message to all the disciples.

"Elder Zhu is right. Don't be too stubborn. Sometimes it has a lot to do with luck. If you are lucky enough to get an opportunity, don't be greedy and return it immediately. Although Emperor Sui's magic weapon is also in it, it is not something we can get. Sometimes too good an opportunity is not a good thing. Everyone remember this."

Another elder leading the team spoke up.

Everyone nodded silently. This time, the Yunmeng Sect had four Jindan cultivators, ten foundation-building cultivators, and nearly a hundred Qi Condensation disciples, which was a large number compared to the past. Since no disciples had gotten the opportunity in the previous times, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Sui's magic weapon had not yet been born, everyone would have thought that the opportunity here was gone.

Soon after a few days, monks from other sects arrived one after another, and this place gradually became lively. Some monks were smart and actually started doing business here, setting up stalls and selling elixirs, spiritual tools, and even news...

When Zhang Chen passed by a stall set up by a foundation-building monk, he actually claimed to be selling a detailed map of the Purgatory Wasteland. The map recorded many dangerous places. With the help of his map, more than half of the dangers could be avoided, which made Zhang Chen very curious.

Zhang Chen bought one and took a look at it. He immediately felt it was not worth it. It recorded all the dangerous places encountered by people in the last expedition. The jade slip that Nangong Yan gave him basically described them all. It might be of reference value to others, but it was better than nothing to him. He could compare the authenticity with each other, so it had a little value.

As time passed, it was soon time to enter the Purgatory Wasteland, and most people had arrived. While Zhang Chen was wandering around, he saw an acquaintance, Dai Shan. On his shoulder stood a small and cute spirit beast, which was the God-walking Rat. The Dai Shan was also walking around at the moment, and saw Zhang Chen. He felt that Zhang Chen's aura was a little familiar, but he didn't recognize him. Zhang Chen also felt that the spirit beast on his shoulder was familiar. They didn't say hello, but just nodded subconsciously, and the two passed by each other.

But at this moment, the magic mouse on Dai Shan's shoulder suddenly looked at Zhang Chen in surprise and suspicion. Then it seemed to have thought of something, and its body was shining brightly. The magic mouse actually expanded several times, sniffed hard with its nose, then narrowed its eyes and squeaked at Zhang Chen.

Dai Shan paused, and when he heard the message from the Speedy Rat, his face changed drastically, and his eyes became bloodshot. He looked at Zhang Chen with a look of shock and anger.

"Stop, do you know my brother Dai Yue?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Chen turned around and looked at Dai Shan, a little confused for a moment.

"My brother Dai Yue also has a Speedster."

Seeing Zhang Chen's expression, Dai Shan pointed at the Speedster on his shoulder and reminded him.

Zhang Chen's pupils dilated instantly and he remembered.

"Could it be that this guy was the one who was tracking me? He also has a Speedster, and he does look a bit like that guy."

Zhang Chen thought secretly in his heart, feeling the fluctuation of the other party's spiritual power, it seems that he has reached the half-step golden elixir stage, and is not easy to mess with.

"Dai Yue? This is the first time I've heard of this name."

Zhang Chen looked at Dai Shan and spoke calmly.

"First time? You smell like my brother Strider, and you're still trying to make excuses?"

Dai Shan's eyes were spitting fire, his whole body was filled with spiritual energy, and with a loud bang, he rushed towards Zhang Chen.

When Zhang Chen was stopped, he thought something was wrong. He had already prepared himself, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack him here. He felt his body hit by a huge force and was immediately knocked back dozens of feet, with half of his body slightly numb.

Dai Shan was also confused and puzzled. At this moment, he only felt a slight pain on the side of his body where he had hit Zhang Chen. He clearly felt that Zhang Chen's cultivation was only in the initial stage of foundation building. He had hit him hard, but the other party was not affected at all. It seemed that his body was much stronger than his.

"Humph, return my brother's life to me."

Dai Shan shouted loudly, and a big knife appeared in his hand. In an instant, a blade light nearly ten feet long slashed towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen immediately used his skills to dodge. There was an explosion on the ground, smoke and dust rose up, and the surrounding monks hurried away from the place.

"That's Dai Shan, he has already reached the level of fake dan, how did that guy offend him?"

"That's right, that guy is unlucky. He is only at the initial stage of foundation building."

"I heard that his brother was killed. Could it be that guy who did it?"

……

……

The monks around were talking about it, and it also attracted many monks to watch. After all, this place was depressing, and it would be nice to have something lively to watch to relieve the mood.
