Chen Zhou silently made a mental note of it. After all, he was alone outside and had to travel such a long distance. If he rashly announced that he was a member of the Sword Cloud Sect, he might attract the grudges of some sects to him, which was indeed quite dangerous.
"It's a journey of three thousand miles from the Sword Cloud Sect to the Southern Kingdom. We've prepared a horse for you. There are many dangers on the road, so you must conserve your inner energy. It's best to ride a horse as much as possible."
The sect leader continued, saying that almost everything had been arranged for Chen Zhou, even the horse's food had been put into Chen Zhou's storage ring by the Third Elder, along with the daily rations that Chen Zhou needed.
"Sect Master, I understand. I will definitely complete this mission. Master, don't worry too much. Wait for my good news within the sect."
After saying that, Chen Zhou walked down the mountain path. The scenery along the way was beautiful. Without much farewell or lingering, Chen Zhou left the Sword Cloud Sect, where he had lived for more than ten years.
"Elders, there is no need to worry too much. Chen Zhou's mission is being carried out in secret, and no one except me knows about it. I have already sent a assassin out on the surface for this mission, and most people in the martial arts world should be keeping an eye on this assassin now."
The sect leader looked at the elders and said.
The opportunity for the Sword Cloud Sect to rise is about to begin.
The sect leader and the seven elders stood in place and watched Chen Zhou leave. Chen Zhou's figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared on the plank road.
To reduce the burden on his horse, Chen Zhou only carried a few coins, an ordinary longsword, a heavy sword in his storage ring, and a protective charm left to him by an elder. That was all.
In this way, the horse's burden is light, and it can walk longer.
This is a white horse that grew up in the Sword Cloud Sect. The Sword Cloud Sect has special horse trainers, who are all miscellaneous disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect. They lack the talent for cultivation but want to get a position in the Sword Cloud Sect.
Although these disciples from miscellaneous sects lacked the talent for cultivation, they possessed remarkable talent in unorthodox and unorthodox methods.
Take, for example, the white horse under Chen Zhou's command. It is well-trained and can travel almost a thousand miles a day, but it requires that it be given enough food.
The Third Elder naturally prepared enough food for Chen Zhou's horse, and had already planned to make the white horse travel a thousand miles a day. The Sword Cloud Sect is three thousand miles away from the Southern Kingdom, which means that Chen Zhou can reach the Southern Kingdom in just three days.
For the next three days, Chen Zhou could only camp in the wild.
Chen Zhou has now entered the Foundation Establishment stage, so he no longer needs sleep as much. He can basically stay up all night to cultivate in meditation. But Chen Zhou is not that kind of person.
The purpose of the Salted Fish System is to allow him to grow up healthily and robustly, so that he can get a good rest every night and receive rewards for his cultivation.
It was nearly noon when we left Tianmen Mountain, and the sun was blazing.
Chen Zhou was sitting on a rock under a huge willow tree, unfolding a large map.
The map depicts various locations on the Tianyun Continent, and Chen Zhou is looking at the road leading from Tianyun Mountain of the Sword Cloud Sect to the Southern Kingdom.
There is only one road from Tianmen Mountain to the South Country; there are no other roads. The route passes through the Thorn Forest.
Chen Zhou is currently in a place where he is about to enter the Thorn Forest.
There wasn't much information about the Thorn Forest on the map, just its name. Chen Zhou didn't expect much information about the Thorn Forest on it, since it was a large map depicting the entire Tianyun Continent.
After a brief rest, Chen Zhou mounted his white horse and continued on his journey.
There was no one on the road at this time. The sun shone brightly on the earth, and the surrounding area was full of lush trees.
Chen Zhou did not use the whip to speed up the white horse's run, but let it walk slowly. After a while, he finally saw the Thorn Forest in the distance.
This forest is significantly different from the one Chen Zhou is currently in; the trees are much taller and covered with thorns, creating a dense canopy that blocks out the sun.
From the outside, the Thorn Forest looks like a castle covered in thorns, where even the sun rarely shines through. The gaps between the trees are very small and covered with thorns.
However, with the opening of the passage between the Sword Cloud Sect and the Southern Kingdom, a main road was also opened up in the Thorn Forest. However, this road had not been repaired for some time, and various thorns crisscrossed above the road, reconnecting the trees that were originally separated by the road.
Within the sect, Chen Zhou had heard various stories about the Thorn Forest.
Spirit beasts dwell within the Thorn Forest.
Humans can absorb the true energy on the continent to cultivate, and so can beasts. Beasts that can absorb true energy to cultivate are called spirit beasts.
Spirit beasts are the same; they also have strict cultivation levels.
Spirit beasts capable of absorbing true energy are divided into nine levels. Spirit beasts that cultivate to the ninth level, like humans, will have the opportunity to condense a golden core. At this stage, the spirit beast is called the Transformation Realm. Spirit beasts that have condensed a golden core have the ability to transform into humans, and this is impossible to tell from their appearance. They can only be identified by their true energy.
Humans' true energy is transformed by their main cultivation techniques, while the true energy absorbed by spirit beasts is assimilated by the spirit beasts into true energy that is compatible with them.
Simply put, the true energy of spirit beasts is very pure, unlike the flashy true energy cultivated through main cultivation techniques, such as Chen Zhou's true energy which can be accompanied by various formations.
It is said that there are first and second level spirit beasts in the Thorn Forest. Many rogue cultivators from the Southern Kingdom make a living by hunting them. Hunting spirit beasts can obtain immortal cores and their flesh and fur.
Each and every one of them is priceless and a treasure.
In particular, the Immortal Core functions similarly to the Foundation Establishment Pill, except that it is used to refine pills. It is an essential ingredient in many pills, such as the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Chen Zhou slowly sailed into the Thorn Forest.
Unbeknownst to Chen Zhou, the moment he entered, he was spotted by a pair of red eyes hiding among the thorns, and then a foul-smelling signal was transmitted throughout the entire Thorn Forest.
Immediately, all the other creatures that could recognize this signal began to rush towards it; the one that gave the signal was a spirit beast that had already developed intelligence.
It smelled the strong scent of Foundation Establishment Pill on Chen Zhou.
Foundation Building Pills also have a strong attraction for spirit beasts.
