Human Clan Defender-Chapter 822 - 9-10: Eternal Ancient Continent, Investigation (2-in-1 Request for Monthly Tickets)
"I am Zhongshan Chou of the Zhongshan Clan, I hope you don't do anything foolish!"
"So you're a powerful individual from the Zhongshan Clan, my apologies for the offense."
"I am from the Zhongshan Clan—"
"Pardon the interruption!"
Watching the departing strong individual, Shen Changqing realized for the first time how useful the name of the Zhongshan Clan really was.
Traveling openly with a fifth-grade Dao weapon was indeed somewhat ostentatious.
However.
Compared to traveling with a first-grade divine skill, the fifth-grade Dao weapon was undoubtedly much better.
The reason Zhongshan Chou initially attacked him, he now had some guesses.
Most likely.
It was for the divine skill "Heaven and Earth in a Stretch" he controlled.
Because of this.
He launched a sneak attack in the end, trying to seize the skill.
A first-grade divine skill, even within the Zhongshan Clan, was considered particularly precious.
Shen Changqing also understood one thing, that divine skills shouldn't be used recklessly, especially high-ranked ones. If one's strength is insufficient, it's akin to a three-year-old child flaunting gold in a market.
For a divine realm powerhouse.
Extracting divine soul memory is an easy task.
Thus.
Instead of traveling with a first-grade divine skill, it's more practical to use a fifth-grade Dao weapon.
Although a fifth-grade Dao weapon is also precious, it's not as coveted as a first-grade divine skill.
Moreover.
The Pursuit Shuttle is unique; even if stolen, it's merely a fifth-grade Dao weapon. However, a divine skill can be inherited.
A single first-grade divine skill could potentially boost a small race's strength significantly.
It is clear which is stronger.
Even a fifth-grade Dao weapon is desirable to many powerhouses.
However.
After stating the name of the Zhongshan Clan, those powerhouses chose to retreat wisely.
Challenging the Zhongshan Clan for a fifth-grade Dao weapon is not necessary.
After all.
The Zhongshan Clan boasts of five Divine Kings, an extraordinary race.
"With such influence, if the matter of me killing Zhongshan Chou is exposed, the consequences could be severe!"
Shen Changqing stepped on the Pursuit Shuttle, watching the rapidly disappearing void around him, pondering in his heart.
But now, having used Zhongshan Chou's origin, it's unlikely the Zhongshan Clan would notice.
Without venturing into the tiger's den, how can one catch a tiger's cub?
Among the myriad clans of the Heavens, there is no place for the Human Clan to stand.
What he can do now is first enter the Zhongshan Clan and then seek a path for the Human Clan.
Hiding in Heaven and Earth.
Appearing stable.
In reality, it's fraught with peril.
Not to mention the Demon Evil threat looming, even if it's resolved, it doesn't mean the Human Clan is free of crisis.
Insufficient strength.
In the myriad clans of the Heavens, it's the greatest crisis.
Especially given the delicate status of the Human Clan among the myriad clans, if the location of the Human Clan realm is exposed one day, with their current strength, there's no chance of resistance.
"Even though the Human Clan realm exists within the Death Forbidden Zone, the Demon Evil Clan found them. Other clans might also discover the Human Clan realm."
"First eliminate the Demon Evil Clan to prevent the Human Clan's existence from being exposed, then repair the Ancestral Vein to restore the Spiritual Energy of the Human Clan realm."
"The Ancestral Vein is the foundation of Heaven and Earth. If it cannot be repaired, the Human Clan will never produce a true powerhouse.
Only through self-strengthening can all problems be fundamentally resolved—"
Thoughts whirled in Shen Changqing's mind as he devised a rough plan for the future.
First, enter the Zhongshan Clan and see if he can leverage the clan's power to enhance his own strength, thus gaining confidence against the Demon Evil Clan.
Simultaneously.
The Zhongshan Clan, existing for countless ages, might have records pertaining to repairing the Ancestral Vein.
On a clear note.
The identity of Zhongshan Chou is one he cannot abandon for now.
Instead of groping in the dark in the myriad clans of the Heavens as a member of the Human Clan, it's better to act straight as a genius of the Zhongshan Clan.
Having made a decision.
Shen Changqing's gaze grew even more resolute.
As energy poured in, the speed of the Pursuit Shuttle increased.
Using a fifth-grade Dao weapon might be ostentatious, but since he's heading to the Eternal Ancient Continent, without the Pursuit Shuttle or divine skills, traveling from the vicinity of the Death Forbidden Zone to the Eternal Ancient Continent would take a long time.
The Heavens are vast.
Seemingly endless.
In comparison, the Human Clan realm is but a drop in the ocean within the Heavens.
The Eternal Ancient Continent he's heading to is also at the center of this vast expanse, said to have existed since the inception of the Heavens.
On the Eternal Ancient Continent, all the myriad clans of the Heavens have a piece of territory belonging to them. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The Candle Sect of the Zhongshan Clan is also there.
——
The void is timeless.
Shen Changqing no longer remembered how many miles he traversed using the Pursuit Shuttle; the divine fire in his sea of consciousness had dimmed a bit, and nearly 40% of his third-level God Realm power was expended.
"According to Zhongshan Chou's memory, it should be nearing the Eternal Ancient Continent!"
He thought to himself.
Traveling from the Eternal Ancient Continent to the Death Forbidden Zone, Zhongshan Chou didn't spend much time.
So it shouldn't take long to return.
As expected.
Soon.
Shen Changqing noticed the originally gray void suddenly became brighter.
In the area ahead, where there should have been nothing, there was a white line that seemed to pierce through the void.
Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the beginning or end of the white line.
