Above the source of Tao

Yun Chang'an was still wandering in the ebony forest at this time. He had been walking here for ten days. Since he parted with Chu Xiaoxiao in Chuwang City, he entered the ebony forest again and walked according to the location Chu Xiaoxiao said.

"There is still one day left, and we should reach the place called Lufeng Town that Senior Sister Chu mentioned." Yun Chang'an looked at the dark forest in front of him, and just wanted to leave this haunted place quickly. Even though it was not the first time he came to this forest, he still felt that the darkness here revealed a weird atmosphere everywhere, and from time to time, he could hear the roar of Yuan Beasts.

He once asked Chu Xiaoxiao, but did not get the answer he wanted. No one knew how this place was formed. All he knew was that when this ebony forest was formed, the surrounding area was desolate. It seemed that it had been here for a long time. When people were reclaiming the land here, the ebony forest was already here.

In the Ebony Forest, the people of the mortal world only dare to walk along the official roads opened up by their ancestors, and dare not set foot in other places. It is rumored that in the depths of the Ebony Forest lives a very ferocious beast that can identify smells that do not belong to this place from dozens of miles away, including the smell of people.

Once, there was a person who didn't believe in evil and broke into the depths of the ebony forest. He saw the ferocious beast hiding in the depths. According to the person's description, the beast had a body like a horse, but had wings like an eagle, and was white in color. Its head was not like a horse's head, but more like a deer's head. There were horns on both sides of its head, but the horns were curved into a curl. The beast seemed to be able to fly, and at a very fast speed.

However, Yun Chang'an felt that this was not a ferocious beast, but more like a Yuan Beast. He had never seen a ferocious beast that looked so strange. Only those Yuan Beasts in the spiritual realm would evolve into some appearances that ordinary people had never seen before.

After that man finished telling his story, he seemed to have gone mad and became a fool, wandering aimlessly in the Chu King City all day long, and no one knew what he was saying. People who passed by avoided him, covering their mouths and noses as if they had met the plague god, and stood ten feet away from him. When people saw him for the last time, he had taken off his tattered clothes, changed into clean clothes, walked out of the west gate, and never came back. He must have died in the mass grave, turned into a handful of yellow earth, and drifted away with the wind.

Since then, everyone knew that there was a monster in the Ebony Forest that could turn people into fools, so no one dared to go deep into it anymore.

"Where the hell is this place?" Yun Chang'an roared angrily. He was lost in the ebony forest.

At this moment, he was beside a pond in the Ebony Forest. Looking at the pond in front of him, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, "I was clearly walking in the direction pointed by Senior Sister Chu. I just didn't follow the main road, so I wouldn't get lost, right?"

He had thought he could walk faster along the path, but he didn't expect to get lost in the deep forest.

"Forget it. In this case, we can only rest here. We have been walking for ten days, so this little while won't matter." He stared at the fire that had just been built in front of him, and a large-crowned spirit pig that had just been captured beside him.

"Since we are here, we should enjoy ourselves. The only thing we should not miss is the delicious food." After a short while, Yun Chang'an roasted the delicious crown spirit pig on the fire that had just been lit. The crown spirit pig was still emitting bursts of fragrance, which made him drool.

At this moment, above the Ebony Forest, there were two figures flying on swords at a very fast speed.

"Master, how long will it take to reach Shangyang Sect?" There was a little girl on the sword, who shouted dissatisfiedly at the slender figure in front of her.

The little girl looks only about seven or eight years old. She is very delicate, with a pair of big watery eyes on her round face and two deep dimples on both sides of her face. She looks so cute that one can't help but want others to pinch her face and tease her.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, why are you rushing it?" The figure in front of the little girl did not turn around, but just stared ahead and said to the dissatisfied little girl behind him.

"You have told me several times that we are almost there. Have you counted? You just lie to a little kid like me. Do you still have any dignity left? Besides, Shangyang Sect is so far away from our Tingfeng Tower. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have come if you had told me there were fun things here. I am really out of my mind. I listened to your nonsense and followed you on a sword to this crappy Shangyang Sect. Wouldn't it be better for me to stay at home and read some books to improve my cultivation?" The little girl complained about her master in front of her while speeding up and flying to her side, walking side by side with her.

"You traitor, I'm only 20 years old, but you keep calling me an old lady. Do you want to die? If I hadn't brought you out, my Tingfeng Tower would have become your backyard. And what about studying? With your temper, you can fall asleep in less than a cup of tea while reading. Are you the material for that? Improving your cultivation? Not to mention, when have you ever practiced hard? You've been either eating or sleeping. When have you ever put your mind on practicing?"

It seemed that the little girl did not listen to her master's words. She jumped onto her master's flying sword, causing the flying sword to shake left and right.

The little girl tightly grasped her master's thigh, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's more comfortable here. Flying with a sword is so tiring."

"Shi Nianyan, you traitorous disciple, are you trying to tire me to death? Fly by yourself." The woman began to criticize the disciple behind her. Although it was not a difficult task for her to carry a young child to fly with her level of cultivation, she still retorted to Shi Nianyan who jumped over.

Shi Nianyan seemed to have closed her ears, automatically blocking out any words that were unfavorable to her, but she was still a little unconvinced in her heart, so she pouted and said, "Chen Xuanyu, you terrible woman, are you so cruel to me, your most beloved disciple? It really makes me sad. I have been flying for such a long time without a break. How can I have as much vitality as my master? My most beloved master, please let me rest for a while."

After hearing the first half of her words, Chen Xuanyu wanted to teach her a lesson, but the following words softened her heart, so she said in a gentle tone, "Forget it, just stay behind me and have a good rest."

"Master is the best!" Shi Nianyan praised Master loudly, but in her heart she was slandering, "Master is so easy to fool. I win again this time." She raised her pink hand and patted her chest.
