CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 781: THE SITUATION IN THE CENTRAL SKY WILDERNESS
Zhu Fei turned his head and realized that the person who had just spoken to him was a youth wearing a Confucian robe, with a handsome and delicate face.
By the side of this Confucian-robed youth were four other youngsters, two males and two females, all with cultivation levels above the mid-stage of Tribulation.
Zhu Fei glanced at these people and then turned back to the Confucian-robed youth, laughing lightly as he said,
"So, it’s Brother Yannan. My name is Zhu Fei. To tell you the truth, I have just arrived at this place and am still not fully aware of the local conditions, so I must decline the offer to join your team for the time being."
Seeing Zhu Fei’s rejection, a clear hint of disappointment flashed across Yannan Shan’s face.
However, before Yannan Shan could reply, Zhu Fei continued, "Nevertheless, could Brother Yannan enlighten me on the matters of this place? I would be most grateful."
As he spoke, Zhu Fei bowed with cupped hands, greeting Yannan Shan and his companions with sincere respect.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yannan Shan and his companions exchanged glances.
In the end, it was Yannan Shan who smiled and said to Zhu Fei, "Since Brother Zhu has just arrived today, so be it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As long as I, Yannan Shan, am aware, I will surely not conceal anything."
One could tell that Yannan Shan was a decent person.
In the current situation, if it were someone else, they might not even bother to entertain Zhu Fei, let alone answer his questions.
Zhu Fei was not pretentious and immediately smiled and asked, "May I ask Brother Yannan, what exactly is that circular Light Gate about? And this hall where we are now, what is this place? Why are there so many of our fellow Cultivators here? Additionally..."
Zhu Fei, in one breath, asked several questions, all related to the current situation.
Yannan Shan didn’t take offense and directly smiled in response,
"To not conceal from Brother Zhu, this hall where we are is named the Central Heaven Hall, and it is the safest place in the entire Central Sky Wilderness.
"And that circular Light Gate is the true entrance to various parts of the wilderness. As you have just arrived at the Central Sky Wilderness, if you enter that Light Gate now, you will be randomly teleported."
"Random teleportation?"
Hearing Yannan Shan’s words, a trace of confusion appeared on Zhu Fei’s face, not understanding what Yannan Shan meant by random teleportation.
Yannan Shan seemed to notice Zhu Fei’s confusion and couldn’t help but continue with a slight smile,
"Brother Zhu may not know this, but in the current Central Sky Wilderness, there are many different wilderness dimensions, such as the Blood-colored Wilderness I mentioned before, as well as the Netherworld Wilderness, Monster Beast Wilderness, and the Undying Wasteland, among others.
"These wilderness dimensions are all filled with extreme dangers, and if you don’t have a specific Transmission Talisman, you will be randomly transported to any of these dimensions."
Having said this, Yannan Shan hesitated momentarily but eventually took out a talisman that emitted a blood-colored halo from his own body and continued to explain to Zhu Fei,
"Brother Zhu, you see, this Transmission Talisman that I hold is an item that can be used through that circular Light Gate to enter the Blood-colored Wilderness."
Zhu Fei took the talisman and carefully sensed it with his Divine Sense, noticing that an extremely intense aura of killing was seemingly contained within it.
At the same time, Zhu Fei also felt that the rune structure inside the talisman was extremely peculiar, concealing a certain specific wave pattern.
No matter how Zhu Fei tried to probe, he simply could not glimpse the essence of the talisman.
"Brother Yannan, I’ve found that this talisman seems to harbor a killing aura that’s particularly intense. Does it bear any essential relation to the wasteland we’re currently in?"
Also, I’d like to boldly ask one more question. If I want to obtain such talismans in the future, is there any specific way to do so?"
Zhu Fei returned the talisman to Yannan Shan, asking somewhat sheepishly.
He himself knew that Yannan Shan had already provided him with ample information, and now he was asking a somewhat sensitive question again, which really seemed too much.
But these matters were of great significance, and even though Zhu Fei felt somewhat embarrassed, he still wanted to understand them clearly.
However, what Zhu Fei didn’t expect was that Yannan Shan and his four companions’ eyes lit up in unison when they heard his words.
One of them, a petite woman named Shen Qianqian, couldn’t help but ask impatiently,
"Brother Zhu, did you just say you can sense the killing aura on this talisman? Is that really true?"
"Is there a problem with that?" Zhu Fei was somewhat puzzled.
Yannan Shan, who was beside him, then explained, "Brother Zhu, what you don’t know is that it’s said this Central Sky Wilderness was in fact a realm battlefield in the past, where countless Immortals and divine beings have fallen.
And as time passed, this Central Sky Wilderness accumulated a vast amount of killing aura. However, this killing aura is invisible and intangible, to the point that even we, Tribulation Crossing Practitioners, cannot easily detect it.
What’s most frightening is that once this killing aura invades the Primordial Spirit, at best one will be heavily injured and lose the ability to act, at worst one will be assimilated by this realm and become a part of it, living a fate worse than death."
"Oh, Brother Yannan, are you suggesting that now that I can sense this killing aura on the talisman, I might avoid those intangible killing auras you spoke of?"
Zhu Fei frowned, asking with some uncertainty.
"Yes, Brother Zhu, what you said is correct."
Yannan Shan nodded and then continued, "As for how you mentioned wanting to obtain this kind of talisman, you must either slay the rulers of various wastelands or go to their temporary markets and trade for them.
The talisman we have to proceed to the Blood-colored Wilderness was, in fact, exchanged at a temporary market there."
As he spoke, Yannan Shan glanced at the remaining time and then said with a hint of apology to Zhu Fei,
"Brother Zhu, we had already made an appointment to meet in the Blood Sea Valley within the Blood-colored Wilderness, and the time is almost upon us. I fear we must leave now. If there was any neglect on our part, I hope Brother Zhu can forgive us."
With that, Yannan Shan raised his hand slightly and cupped his fist toward Zhu Fei as a gesture.
Zhu Fei returned the gesture with a fist cup as well, saying, "Brother Yannan is too polite. The person who should be apologizing is me. I’ve delayed you all quite a bit."
After a brief thought, Zhu Fei then took out a Communication Pearl from his person and handed it to Yannan Shan, saying,
"Brother Yannan, you keep this Communication Pearl for now. If there’s any situation later, you can contact me with this pearl. If possible, I, Zhu Fei, will surely lend a hand without hesitation."
Seeing this, Yannan Shan didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting the Communication Pearl and then chuckled.
"Alright, with that, we’ll take our leave for now. We’ll meet again when the chance arises."
Having said that, Yannan Shan no longer delayed. He and the others cupped their fists towards Zhu Fei together, then promptly activated the blood-colored talisman and soon disappeared at the endpoint of the circular Light Gate.
