The carriage set off from Maple Village, winding its way past Black Wind Stronghold and heading northwest into the Vast Forest south of Southern Wilderness City. This area was a Level 20 Monster Zone, bustling with players leveling up.
To better conceal his identity, Yi Tianchen not only wore the Vine Ring personally woven by Liu Yuhan but also covered his face with the black cloth that had been looted that night. The black cotton fabric draped over his face, combined with the unique design of the Vine Ring, created a truly extraordinary appearance.
The carriage continued along its designated route. Yi Tianchen pulled back a corner of the curtain and noticed several players passing by in groups, faintly hearing snippets of their conversations.
“Look, riding in a carriage is so impressive! It’s much faster than walking!”
“Yeah, but that’s a life for the wealthy. For us, barely scraping by, we can only hope to dream about it at night with our pillows propped up!”
“Sigh~ When will we ever get to ride in a carriage?”
“Maybe in the next life~ Don’t just stand there; we’ll miss out on all the monsters!”
“Hmm, let’s hurry! How about we race against his carriage?”
“…”
Half an hour later…
In the Black Forest, the wind rustled through the leaves, and birds and beasts called out from deep within the woods. The sharp afternoon sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dense as stars!
Yi Tianchen stood outside the Magic Stone Tower, filled with warmth and reverence for this place.
“Teacher, are you still inside?” With the Fury of the Wilderness strapped to his back, Yi Tianchen stood proudly and called out to the Magic Stone Tower.
Since he was heading into the western forest and passing through the Black Forest, Yi Tianchen had every reason to return and visit his beloved mentor, the great Hell Swordsman—Azure Abyss!
Of course, he had other purposes as well.
Soon, a magnetic voice echoed from the Magic Stone Tower: "Is that you, my disciple? Come in!"
Hurrying to the stone tower, Yi Tianchen took a closer look. Countless small seal characters were engraved on the bluish stone slabs. After examining them for a moment, his mind was filled with confusion. He could barely recognize most of these characters and only pieced together some simple information.
This was a stone tower 38 meters tall, covering an area of 38 square meters, with a total of seven floors. The construction date was described simply as "a very long time ago," and its specific purpose was not mentioned.
Holding his breath, Yi Tianchen touched the ancient blue stone slabs, which were already covered with a thin layer of moss-like plants, smooth to the touch. As he stepped into the tower, he immediately felt a mysterious power swirling around him.
However, this time it did not feel oppressive; instead, it was indescribably comfortable. It seemed as if this power was acting on every acupoint in his body, invigorating him!
Climbing the stone steps, Yi Tianchen quickly reached the seventh floor. The first six floors were empty and filled with a musty smell. In contrast, the seventh floor appeared very clean. In the small space, there was an old bookshelf in the corner, holding no fewer than thirty small books.
Ahead stood Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss, unchanged from yesterday's frost and weariness, with a face so handsome it seemed almost unreal—no marks of age were visible!
Undead beings are immortal; as long as they are not defeated by others, they can live forever.
Thus, Yi Tianchen was fully confident that although this Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss appeared to be just over thirty years old, only he knew how many years he had truly lived!
"Master!"
Yi Tianchen called out sincerely and instinctively moved closer to the bookshelf, stealing a glance that nearly made his heart leap out of his mouth.
Those were all Skill Books!
Moreover, they were not just ordinary Skill Books. The words "Magic Combat Techniques" in parentheses behind them shattered Yi Tianchen's young heart into pieces...
During this time apart, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss had also transformed from a level 30 special boss into a level 50 one—truly formidable!
"Kid, stop looking. That's not something you can handle with your current strength!"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, feeling quite embarrassed, yet he couldn't help but agree with the words of the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss. He had already had the fortune of witnessing the power of magical combat techniques, and there were video recordings to prove it. That was not something one could casually master.
"Speak up. What brings you here this time?"
"I happened to pass by the Black Forest, so I thought I would come back to see you, Master!" Yi Tianchen smiled.
"Heh... Is that so?"
The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, seemed skeptical. He slightly raised his head, his cold eyes piercing through Yi Tianchen as if trying to see right through him. He said sternly, "No one visits without a reason. Since you say that, I’ll take it as you just happened to pass by!"
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen was momentarily stunned. After a bitter sigh, he took a breath and said, "Master, actually it was a coincidence that I passed by. But I do have two questions I would like to ask you!"
"Go ahead!"
"First, where is the Boundless Land, one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands?"
"What?"
The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, was clearly taken aback. A complex and strange expression flickered in his eyes as he looked at Yi Tianchen from a distance and asked, "How do you know about the Boundless Land?"
"It was the village chief of Maple Village who told me!" Yi Tianchen did not hide anything; after all, he hoped to gain some useful information from this conversation.
"Oh? The village chief of Maple Village? You mean that Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn? I can't believe that old man is still alive! Thinking back, it has been five hundred years since I last saw him!"
"Kahn? Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn?"
Hearing this, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but shudder, immediately recalling the words of the Appraiser in the novice village. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it," and murmured to himself, "So he is Kahn. It's truly a case of being far away yet close at hand; I searched high and low for him, only to find him without any effort!"
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss paid no attention to Yi Tianchen's reaction, as if lost in memories of the past. After a moment, he looked at Yi Tianchen with a serious expression and said, "Is he asking you to go to Boundless Land to find Earth's Essence?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, instantly shocked!
However, amidst his shock, an ominous premonition began to rise within him. Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss's words hinted that this so-called search for Earth's Essence seemed merely a pretext for unsealing Dragon's Roar.
Yet upon further reflection, it appeared that this was perhaps a guise for achieving another goal or even another conspiracy!
But digging deeper into this line of thought felt somewhat off. If there truly was a conspiracy as Yi Tianchen suspected, then why didn't Elder Villager provide more useful information or even directly tell him how to reach Boundless Land to help him achieve his purpose?
"Master, how did you know?" Yi Tianchen feigned surprise. He understood that he could only extract more information from Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss at this point.
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss replied in a deep voice, "The Dwarven Clan is the most skilled weapon forging master on Dreamland Continent. In the later stages of the Holy War a thousand years ago, as the flames of war gradually faded away, the Dwarven Clan mobilized all their resources to forge an unparalleled Divine Weapon!"
"This Divine Weapon is Dragon's Roar, right?"
"Oh? It seems that Old Man told you quite a bit!" Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss rarely showed a hint of a smile and continued, "That's right; it is Dragon's Roar, the foremost among the Three Divine Weapons of Lietian Dream Continent!"
Yi Tianchen was slightly taken aback. Although he had learned some details, they were still fragmented and completely disconnected.
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss continued, "It's just a pity that after the Holy War, Dragon's Roar lost its spiritual essence and has since disappeared without a trace. If I'm not mistaken, the next target that Old Man gave you must be to search for Dragon's Roar!"
"Search for Dragon's Roar?"
Yi Tianchen shuddered, as if he had caught a whiff of a conspiracy brewing.
"Teacher, Dragon's Roar... has been found!"
"What? Dragon's Roar... has already been located?"
Listening to the unusually excited voice of Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss, Yi Tianchen faintly sensed that there was likely a massive interconnected plot at play. At this moment, he stood on the brink of the truth, just a step away!
Thus, Yi Tianchen recounted in detail how he had slain the Three-Headed Spirit Serpent in the underground space of Venom Valley, retrieved Dragon's Roar from its belly, and some conversations he had with Elder Villager after returning to Maple Village.
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss slowly rose and walked to the window, gazing blankly at the distant sky. For a moment, the entire Magic Stone Tower was enveloped in silence, resembling a graveyard.
Yi Tianchen dared not breathe, his heart tightly drawn to the mystery unfolding before him!
After a long while, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss finally let out a long sigh, his voice tinged with weariness. "The wheel of fate has finally begun to turn; that destined fate is about to commence!"
