Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 37

Mu Wan knew that Yan Chutian could not possibly use this kind of problem to deceive him since such a fraud was meaningless. It could only be as he said, even he did not know how many tens of thousands of li were away from the Central Plains of the mortal world.

Seeing Mu Wan's beautiful face expressionless, Yan Chutian hesitated before he spoke again, "Maybe it's not that we don't know anything. There are some records in some books that the Central Plains are located in the mortal center. The world is vast and complicated, but it's not a place that can be entered just because someone wants it."

"First of all, there was a layer of barrier surrounding the Central Plains. It is not known if it is man-made or innate. The barrier was a vast ocean or desert, mysterious and dangerous. If ordinary cultivators got into it, they would lose their lives if not careful."

"There's such a barrier?"

Mu Wan's pretty face changed. He originally thought that Yan Chutian would tell him the good news, but he did not expect it to be this kind of unofficial history. In that case, it is better not to go to the Central Plains. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to lose one's life in that barrier.

At a glance Yan Chutian guessed at Mu Wan's thought and continued, "Despite such a barrier, experts from various powers in the Central Plains came up with some ideas. In the end, they spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to open five safe paths between the barrier, which was jointly controlled by the five regions and various powers."

"Although in general, only people of that power can enter and exit the passageway, there will be a number of places left for ordinary cultivators and even humans. I believe that as long as we meet with the organization that distributes the place, we will not be far from the Central Plains."

"This ... Alright."

Mu Wan could only nod helplessly. The Central Plains were still far away, but he believed it would take a lot of effort to reach them.

At the same time, in the mountains, two figures were walking carefully. As they walked, they looked at the tattered map in hand, looking nervous.

These two people were Zhou Xing and his Young Brother Yang Hong, who had found nothing in Kai Yuan City.

They had been waiting in Kai Yuan City for a few days, but could not find the two people using the Zhou Family silver coins. They could only bring Yang Hong back to the sect. But he did not expect that halfway through, Yang Hong suddenly took out a ragged and rotten piece of paper.

Although even Yang Hong was unable to tell what this blueprint represented, the fact that it was obtained from the tomb of a suspected Yuanying expert was already quite eye-catching. The Yuanying Realm was above the Elixir realm. Even in his second sect, there were very few elders or even sect masters who could reach this realm. From here, one could see how powerful it was.

This tattered piece of paper was probably left behind by a Yuanying expert, meaning it might contain the legacy of a Yuanying expert. How could Zhou Xing not be excited?!

"Sister Zhou, according to the map, the location marked by the Yuanying expert should be near here!"

Yang Hong glanced at the blueprint in Zhou Xing's hands from time to time, looking excited. It's not that he wasn't thinking of monopolizing the blueprint, but that he was young and had a steady personality. He knew that his cultivation was too weak, and if he faced danger, he would not be able to fight back at all. Zhou Xing had an excellent relationship with him, and the chances of success were higher under his leadership.

Therefore, he gave his blueprints to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing held the blueprint in his hand, his expression extremely happy. It was hard not to think that a map marked by a suspected Yuanying expert could be an inheritance. If he could obtain an inheritance, wouldn't his cultivation path in the future be smooth? Wouldn't he be able to condense his Elixir and form his Elixir?

The more like this, the more he could not suppress the greed in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Damn it, the blueprint is missing this part! Find it quickly, find the marked location as quickly as possible!"

The night slowly descends. Yan Chutian and Mu Wan chose a simple place within the forest. Then, Yan Chutian lit a fire in front of Mu Wan and started roasting the beast meat.

Originally, Mu Wan wanted to ignore him, but gradually, the golden scent of roasted beast meat spread, and she could not ignore it anymore. Her beautiful eyes involuntarily swept over the rattling flesh on the fire, and she felt that the roast was so tempting.

Seeing Mu Wan's stealthy gaze, Yan Chutian smiled but did not say anything. He took out a small piece of roasted beast meat and held it in front of him. He smiled faintly and said, "Eat it, and see how it feels."

How could Mu Wan hold back when the roast meat was handed to her? A fragrant aroma lingered around him, and he could not wait to pick up the roast and bite down on it.

After the bite, Mu Wan did not care about his current indecent appearance. Her gleaming and greasy red lips opened slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with excitement. "This feeling, how can it be so good!"

"Haha .. great if you like it."

Yan Chutian smiled thinly and quietly kept the seasoning in his hands. This taste was Qiu Yu's favorite. He had just tasted it, and sure enough, Mu Wan also liked this taste.

Yan Chutian thought that he hid it well, but he did not know that after taking a few more bites of the beast meat, Mu Wan gradually returned to her senses. This smell seemed to overlap with a certain scene in his hazy memory. It was ... a man under the night sky, in the same way handed a piece of gold roast meat to a woman who looked almost identical to him, except for her deep purple eyes.

In an instant, Mu Wan understood everything. Even though the taste of the ferocious beast meat in his mouth was the same as before, it made him feel extremely sour, and he slammed it violently onto the ground.

Yan Chutian could not react in time when Mu Wan suddenly turned hostile. Right now, footsteps that sounded like walking suddenly came from the wilderness. He had no time to explain anything, and could only quickly extinguish the flames and use his spiritual energy to disperse the scent of flesh and fire. Then, he gripped Mu Wan'er's wrist tightly and pulled her onto a giant tree branch.

All this time, Mu Wan had not said anything, and had let Yan Chutian do whatever he wanted. Only when they jumped onto the giant tree did he violently release his hand and bury his head in silence.

"Mu Wan, after all, someone is here now. Put the others aside for now!"

"Hmmm!"

Mu Wan snorted, but as long as she replied, Yan Chutian would feel relieved. Because as long as he answered, it meant that he heard his words, and with his personality, he would naturally consider the entire situation.

The two gradually fell silent. Not long after, two figures walked over from the other side of the low slope. Fortunately, Yan Chutian found them in time, or else they would not be able to escape the perception of these two people.

With the help of the moonlight speckled among the giant trees, Yan Chutian looked down and faintly saw the faces of the two figures. After seeing them clearly, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He did not recognize the pale-faced young man, but he knew the taller young man very well.

He was the eldest son of the Zhou family in Iron Wood City, Zhou Teng's eldest brother, Zhou Xing.
