This...that's it? I didn't feel anything. Shouldn't an increase in physical strength make my legs stronger and my whole body full of inexhaustible energy? ...However, Wang Yao felt nothing at all, as if the "enlightenment" was playing a joke on him.
Wang Yao wondered if he had made some mistake in his operation and had not clicked it at all. He opened "Enlightenment" again and was shocked to find that he was no longer on the "Enlightenment" interface. Only an old dragon was left coiled up on the interface.
"Damn it, you mentally ill person who randomly adopts sons needs to be treated. I'm going to make you smarter now, stop treating me like your son." Wang Yao muttered to himself, wanting to enlighten Ao Guang, but just like before, he hesitated again when it came to the matter.
The reason is simple: right now, he needs Ao Guang to still treat him like a son. It's unclear what's inside the Swamp of Sorrows, but judging from Ao Guang's cautious demeanor, it's certainly not a benevolent place.
If, after being "enlightened," the old dragon suddenly gains a great deal of wisdom, realizes he has mistaken his son for someone else, and then packs his bags and leaves, that would be a terrible thing.
After much deliberation, Wang Yao decided to also invest in "Physical Strength" for Ao Guang. What do bodyguards need most? Thick skin and tough flesh to withstand blows, right? If not "Physical Strength," what else is there to invest in?
"Um... it's getting late, shall we go in?" Wang Yao called out after finishing the "enlightenment" and redistributing the points back.
"You... you've finished cultivating? So fast?" Ao Guang reappeared, staring at Wang Yao in confusion.
"Don't you feel anything strange about yourself?" Wang Yao asked, staring at Ao Guang.
"Strange! I...I didn't feel anything?" Ao Guang shook his head in confusion, then looked at Wang Yao with concern, "You...is your injury acting up again?"
"No, no!" This is really strange. I was only injured once, what do you mean it flared up again? It's as if my injury is constantly flaring up all day long. Your IQ is too low. I should have improved your "comprehension". Wang Yao shook his head repeatedly in his heart.
It seems that Ao Guang also didn't notice any signs of increased physical strength. This guy is a powerful being in the Integration Stage, and his sense of his body should be much more acute than mine. Since he didn't feel anything either, it seems that there is a problem with this "enlightenment". But where is the problem?
"Let's go, let's stop practicing." Wang Yao couldn't figure out the reason, and couldn't help but regret not giving himself some "enlightenment." Otherwise, with his improved wisdom, how could such a small problem be difficult for him? But now there was no going back, so he could only stop worrying about it.
"Really not going to practice? There's plenty of time, no rush!" Ao Guang seemed a little hesitant, as if he hoped Wang Yao would stay outside for another ten days or half a month.
“There’s no spiritual energy here, so we can’t train.” Wang Yao looked at Ao Guang and shook his head firmly. He knew that it was very important to seize the valuable time of the “good guy” to enter the God and Demon Forging Ground.
His matchmaking system could fail at any time, and since Ao Guang had used "Aoyou" to bring him here, saving him a lot of travel time, he naturally had to make full use of it and not waste it by just wandering outside this Sorrow Swamp.
As for being affected inside and no longer being able to use the term "good person," we'll see when that happens. After all, the Heavenly Emperor only sent him to forge gods and demons, not to come to the Swamp of Sorrows to die. There's no reason why there should be any major threat hidden in this swamp that even Ao Guang couldn't handle.
Furthermore, there is a fundamental difference between him and Ao Guang: Wang Yao has to use the system to cast spells, and whether the system will be affected by the swamp is hard to say.
After all, Ao Guang wasn't thinking clearly; he only considered his own situation and hadn't taken into account that his son possessed a system, which was quite possible. Therefore, the most important thing right now was to hurry to the entrance of the God-Demon Forging Sect; wasting time was utterly pointless.
“I see…” Ao Guang nodded and took the lead in stepping into the Swamp of Sorrows, with Wang Yao hurriedly following behind.
Not long after entering the Swamp of Sorrows, Wang Yao discovered that the sobbing sound he seemed to have heard outside was actually there. The sound was like the gray-green mist floating in the sky above the Swamp of Sorrows, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.
"Don't listen to that crying. Listening to it for too long can easily cause mental confusion," Ao Guang hurriedly reminded Wang Yao when he saw that Wang Yao seemed a little dazed.
"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Wang Yao quickly cheered up and stopped paying attention to the crying that was constantly ringing in his ears.
"Have you been here before?" The two walked slowly forward, stepping on the soft grass by the puddle. Wang Yao brushed aside a withered shrub branch blocking their way and couldn't help but ask.
"That happened a long time ago. Back then, the God-Demon Forging Technique had just been discovered. The immortals all regarded it as a tremendous opportunity and flocked to join the excitement like a market. I was lucky; I arrived a bit late. I heard that too many immortals had died, so I didn't dare to participate in the forging and just went back after playing around," Ao Guang said in a low voice.
"No wonder you're so familiar with this place," Wang Yao suddenly realized.
“You must be extremely careful once you go in. Once you begin the forging process, you will become an enemy of both the divine and demonic realms. It’s not just the trial mission that’s dangerous; any god or demon you encounter could potentially kill you.” Ao Guang suddenly stopped and looked intently at Wang Yao.
“This…” Wang Yao stared at Ao Guang in astonishment. He could barely accept that the Demon Realm was hostile to him, but he had met many divine generals from the God Realm, such as Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, and Gao Chong. He had a very good impression of them and absolutely did not believe that they would kill him.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. Think about it: these gods and demons are forged within the realm of gods and demons, but gods and demons aren't qualified to participate. Only immortals can do it. What happens when immortals become powerful? Naturally, it will further solidify the position of the immortal realm and the heavenly court. How can those god lords and demon lords tolerate that?"
