The Fog Plain was enshrouded in special spirit fog all year round, and thus it was extremely mysterious.
Vertically, this plain was thousands of kilometers long and was covered by a special kind of Divinity. All Spiritual Power would become sealed if one went near the Fog Plain, and even the use of Sword Kinesis Flight would be affected.
Originally, cultivators who could travel thousands of kilometers in a day with the Sword Kinesis Flight could only land onto the ground in there.
Currently, the Fog Tide Period, which occurred once every 20 years, had started, so many cultivators were gathered at the Fog Plain.
When Shen Tian and the others arrived at the Fog Plain, they could see a bustling small town.
That’s right! It was really quite simple for cultivators to build a small town; just a few Dharma spells of water, wood, and earth would be sufficient.
Shen Tian even saw with his own eyes some cultivators, who were building, use wood Dharma techniques to create a whole four-room apartment.
During the Fog Tide Period, the spirit dog would disperse during the day and return during the night. Thus, this town would only be activated during the day.
When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning just shone onto Fog Town, many peddlers and cultivators had already hawked their goods for sale.
“Come, come, don’t miss out on this chance! The best healing medicine! It can not only revive the dead and grow meat from bone but also nourish Yin and strengthen Yang.”
“Fog herbs gathered in the Fog Plain! Top-grade second-stage spirit herb. There’s a discount now. Buy two for the price of one until all are sold!”
“Fog Plain’s specialty, Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum! Grind it into juice after buying it. It can improve the sexual intercourse of you and your Dao companion. It’s good for you and your significant other!”
“Young man, do you want this Divine Binding Vine? I have the seed of the Divine Binding Vine and seeing how you’re fated with me, I’ll give you a 20% discount. How does it sound?”
...
When Shen Tian and the others entered Fog Town, they instantly attracted the attention of a huge group of people. Due to Zhang Yunxi’s and Shen Tian’s appearance, they were the focus of attention no matter where they went.
However, after Zhang Yunxi emitted her explosively fierce White Tiger aura, those people instantly cowered away.
Zhao Hao tried to persuade them. “Brother Shen, are you really going to enter the Fog Plain? I heard that it’s very abnormal and bizarre inside.”
Shen Tian smiled and said, “Oh, Brother Zhao, are you knowledgeable about the Fog Plain?”
Zhao Hao nodded.
“I had a friend that accidentally barged into the Fog Plain, and as a result, he saw a gorgeous beauty inside.
“That gorgeous beauty used an illusion spell to seduce my friend. My friend nearly succumbed to the temptation, so he hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave. However, just when he was about to leave, that gorgeous beauty turned into an extremely thick vine.
“That huge vine entangled my friend and wanted to stab into my friend’s mouth crazily. If it were not for a peerless expert with a full beard that helped my friend, he might have died already.”
Shen Tian looked at Zhao Hao in suspicion. He doubted that this fellow had made up that friend out of nothing!
Are you sure you went to the Fog Plain? I bet you went to the Lanruo Temple1!
Shen Tian asked, “Since your friend had encountered dangers in the Fog Plain, why not make it known to the public?”
Zhao Hao replied helplessly, “What’s the use of making it known to the public? Most cultivators are out for experiential journeys, so there’s no reason not to take a risk!
“At least, from the Fog Tide Period’s situation in these few thousands of years, the people who had entered the Fog Plain to train had obtained quite the benefits.
“Everyone can only see that people collected spirit herbs and some fortunate ones even obtained Divine Binding Vines. However, they cannot see how many people’s corpses are buried within this fog.”
Zhao Hao’s eyes betrayed his lingering fears.
“Anyway, I heard that peerless expert with a full beard say that this type of fog should never enshroud us.
“Those huge vines seem to be unable to leave the fog-enshrouded area, so as long as we don’t enter the fog areas, there shouldn’t be any big problems.
“However, once we enter deep within the fog areas, even Nascent Soul Supermacies would easily lose their way and be trapped inside. Then, most probably, it’s bode ill rather than well.”
Shen Tian was astounded. “Even Nascent Soul Supermacies would die?”
Zhao Hao nodded. “At least, from what I know, in these few hundreds of years, amongst all the cultivators who were covered by the spirit fog due to their greed, not one person successfully walked out alive.”
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “It’s like you’re saying you’re not a person.”
Zhao Hao hurriedly argued, “I resisted the temptation and was recognized dash saved by an expert. Otherwise, I would have died long ago.”
Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. “Did that expert teach you some cultivation technique, then tell you not to tell others that you’ve seen him before?”
Zhao Hao was stunned. “Huh, how did you know? No, it’s not me, it’s my friend. I’ve never seen that expert before!”
Shen Tian nodded in resignation. “Yes, yes, yes. You never said you’ve seen that expert. It’s your friend that saw him.
“Brother Zhao, is it also because of that cultivation technique that resulted in you suddenly suffering Qi Deviation and losing your cultivation?”
After Shen Tian finished, Zhao Hao was completely dumbfounded. “Brother Shen, you’re too amazing!”
In fact, the reason Zhao Hao had suffered Qi Deviation was indeed because he had cultivated the Sky-Incinerating Fire Sword Art that Sword Venerable Qian Yang had taught him.
According to Sword Venerable Qian Yang, he was an itinerant cultivator and had unintentionally obtained part of the Imperial Sun Sutra.
After integrating the Sword Dao, which he had comprehended, and spending thousands of years, he had finally created a peerless Immortal Sutra, the Sky-Incinerating Fire Sword Art.
When cultivating this sword art, every time one broke through a cultivation level, they had to use Raging Fire Sword Aura to refine their body and dantian. Thus, it was extremely dangerous.
However, every time one succeeded, their body and dantian would become extremely powerful. One could say to be cultivating both Qi and Body, thus beating other cultivators of the same stage by miles.
Sword Venerable Qian Yang named such a cultivation method as Nine Refinement of Sword Flame. Cultivating it had gone wrong for Zhao Hao during the Second Refinement.
That was because when he had been cultivating, he learned that his father went missing. Thus, he lost concentration, and the Sword Flame ran amok within him, damaging his dantian.
As a result, the Spirit Qi in his whole body had dispersed, and there were also cracks in his Dharmic foundation, which had also been sliced by the Sword Flame. That’s how he lost his cultivation.
Zhao Hao had never told anyone that, so how did Shen Tian know?
...
Seeing how Zhao Hao was making such a fuss, Shen Tian’s lips twitched. He expressed that it was simple.
Do I even need to guess such a plot? As a standard Dragon Proud Sky, wouldn’t you have an invincible Master out of nowhere?
Most importantly, the instant when everyone entered Fog Town, Shen Tian discovered an extraordinary sight—the scenes of fortuitous opportunities had appeared above everyone’s head in his team. That was especially so for Zhao Hao.
It was also through the fortuitous opportunity on top of Zhao Hao’s head that Shen Tian had seen the scene where he reunited with that expert.
Who would have thought that this fellow would have the bug-like existence of a grandpa Master? This is indeed the treatment of an MC!
Unfortunately, although the impressive senior was a super-powerful individual, he had most probably died from the scene on Zhao Hao’s head.
Master dies, the disciple gains a bug-like existence!
Of course, Shen Tian did not plan to save him, nor did he have a way to save him. That was because he had no idea where that grandpa was, as well as he did not know how that guy died.
The only thing he could see was that grandpa’s soul elegantly landing on Zhao Hao’s head, like a flaming meteorite. Afterward, these two that had not met for years would start to reminisce. Next, Zhao Hao would be forcibly carried away by his master.
Shen Tian was extremely envious of such a fortuitous opportunity.
It’s simply a brainless Dragon Proud Sky!
No! Such a huge fortuitous opportunity, I must freeload it!
At that thought, Shen Tian said with a solemn face, “Brother Zhao, the time has arrived. I have endured the dangers of receiving the Heavenly Dao’s backlash and finally pried about a ray of hope for you!”
