Transcending the Nine Heavens

Wei Wuyan's expression changed, and he asked, “Could it be that...?” As he spoke, his face suddenly turned pale.

Clearly, Wei Wuyan had also thought of a terrifying possibility.

Chu Yang's eyes flickered, “On this journey, apart from the trivial obstacles we encountered when we first entered the forest, we have been able to travel smoothly in this infamous Black Blood Jungle!”

“And you, Brother Wei, first, you didn’t reveal your identity; second, even if you did reveal your identity, it wouldn’t have much deterrent effect here.”

“So there must be another reason!”

As Chu Yang spoke, Wei Wuyan's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

Chu Yang turned to Wei Wuyan, “Brother Wei, it seems that only one person is capable of this within the Black Blood Jungle.”

Wei Wuyan swallowed dryly and said, “Indeed, there’s only one person.”

His voice had become somewhat hoarse.

“If it really is that person, why would they do this?” Chu Yang asked.

Wei Wuyan let out a long breath, “I don’t know either.”

The two fell silent.

Regardless of the circumstances, they had now ventured fourteen hundred miles in. The center was not far away. If that person had intentionally allowed them to enter, then at this moment, it was already impossible to retreat.

No matter what awaited them ahead, the three could only move forward.

But their moods had become somewhat heavy.

As the three continued their journey, Wei Wuyan suddenly discovered: this money-obsessed Chu Yang was still busy collecting spiritual medicine! Moreover, the frequency was extremely high; he basically spared no effort to collect every herb he detected!

Sometimes, he even had to take a long detour just to gather the herbs.

This puzzled Wei Wuyan greatly.

“Do you still have the mood to fiddle with this?” Wei Wuyan was very confused, “Your guess should definitely be correct; that person is definitely waiting to meet us. That person’s cultivation level is unfathomable, and we are absolutely not their match. Right now, moving forward is fraught with danger, and retreating is also perilous! In this situation, you’re still collecting herbs... I truly admire your broad-mindedness.”

Wei Wuyan shook his head, “Where do you get such confidence? How can you be so carefree?”

Chu Yang was carefully picking a nearly transparent Black Blood Ganoderma, not raising his head as he said, “Why can’t I collect it now? What’s different now compared to before?”

What was different now compared to before? Wei Wuyan was speechless once again.

There was no difference now compared to before, but you clearly know there’s a mysterious and violent super expert waiting ahead to cause you trouble, and at this moment, you are still calmly collecting herbs...

If that person had malicious intent, even if you gathered a million pieces of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, what good would it do? It wouldn’t save your life.

While Wei Wuyan was pondering this, he heard Chu Yang say lightly, “Brother Wei, if it’s a blessing, it’s not a disaster; if it’s a disaster, it cannot be avoided. No matter what that person intends to do ahead, we can’t escape it anymore. So at this moment, there’s really no need to worry about anything. Worrying is useless.”

Wei Wuyan opened his mouth and then closed it again.

What he said was right.

“If that person wants to kill me, there’s no way I can avoid it. In this situation, what’s the harm in me collecting some spiritual medicine?” Chu Yang smiled.

Wei Wuyan was astonished.

Why was this guy’s thinking so different from his, even though they were both thinking of the same situation?

Chu Yang smiled and said, “If that person doesn’t want to kill me, then wouldn’t I gain by collecting more spiritual medicine while no one is bothering me?”

Wei Wuyan was stunned. This matter... could be thought of this way?

Chu Yang laughed heartily, “The only principle I have in this life is... to never leave any regrets! If I listened to you and spent all my time in fear without collecting herbs, only for that person not to kill us... wouldn’t that be a huge regret?”
