Chapter 1180: Why So Persistent?

"Perhaps so. In truth, when we came here, we didn't hold much hope at all." Tianxin quickly returned to normal and smiled slightly.

"Since you knew that, why were you still so persistent?" Chen Yu couldn't help but be startled; he realized only then that he had misunderstood Tianxin before.

He had previously thought that Tianxin was like those other people, aiming for the treasures of the Cloud Void Realm.

But through his contact with her, Chen Yu realized he was wrong; she shouldn't be the type of person blinded by greed. Only when these words came out of her mouth did Chen Yu realize he had misunderstood her before.

"You are right. This time, things are quite abnormal. Aside from some large sects, many small sects like the Seven Star Sect, and even families and Loose Cultivators, have all predicted this Heavenly Mystery."

"The news everyone received is the same: in the Cloud Void Realm, a strange treasure is emerging, and whoever obtains it follows the direction of the Heavenly Dao."

"And you think this matter is unusual?" Chen Yu frowned and said, "Although I am not from your Dharma Cultivator sects, I feel that peeking into the Heavenly Mystery isn't something just anyone can achieve, right?"

"Correct. The Heavenly Mystery is hard to fathom. From ancient times until now, those who could predict the Heavenly Mystery were all great powers; at the very least, they had to be experts of the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm to catch a glimpse of it."

Tianxin said leisurely, "Our Seven Star Sect is not a large sect or school. Even our Elder could calculate the Heavenly Mystery, which in itself is abnormal."

"Right, is there some special reason for this? Or could it be that there is something inside inducing the world to fight for the strange treasure, so that they might have a chance to emerge?" Chen Yu probed.

"It's possible." Tianxin nodded again.

"Since you know that, why did you still come?" Chen Yu was a bit confused now. It was clear that Tianxin was no ordinary person; what exactly was her purpose in doing this?

"I didn't go there entirely to find treasure." Tianxin smiled slightly and said leisurely, "Decades ago, my father was buried inside the Cloud Void Realm. My trip this time is, firstly, to seek treasure."

"Secondly, I want to bring his remains back. Of course, if I can't find the treasure, it doesn't matter. My father was a third-generation successor of the Seven Star Sect; I cannot let his remains stay there."

Chen Yu looked at Tianxin and fell silent. Everyone has an obsession in their heart, and Dharma Cultivators are no exception.

Tianxin's obsession was nothing more than that father whose face she could no longer remember. When she went to the Cloud Void Realm, she must have already arranged her affairs; she was prepared not to return.

"That is why I brought you along, because if the two of you barged in like this, you would most likely die," Tianxin said. "Because seeing you, it is as if I am seeing my own father."

Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for this, but the risk you are taking for your father's remains is too great."

"What if it is great? I often dream of my father. As a Dharma Cultivator, it is almost impossible to dream."

Tianxin sighed and said, "My father is an obsession in my heart, so I must find his remains, bring them back, and bury them properly. At the very least, he must be buried with my mother. Only by fulfilling this wish can I overcome my Heart Demon and devote myself to cultivation."

Chen Yu didn't know what to say. He hesitated and said, "Perhaps, I can..."

Chen Yu had intended to say that perhaps he could help her, but before he could finish his sentence, a cry of alarm came from ahead.

The two turned and rushed over, only to see a Seven Star Sect disciple with a multi-legged monster bug attached to his neck. This monster bug was the size of a child's palm, had many legs, and a soft body, clinging tightly to the disciple's neck.

The mucus secreted by this monster bug was like strong acid, corroding the person's skin. The disciple's neck was already a bloody mess, and he was shrieking and rolling on the ground.

"This is a Liesu Bug, move away quickly." Tianxin stepped forward, flicked her whip with her right hand, and with a 'pop', an electric arc flared up...

"A fine move of advancing by retreating. Our Seven Star Sect does not deal with the secular world, but that does not mean I know nothing," Bamu said coldly.

"I really have no ill intentions..." Chen Yu said helplessly.

Suddenly, Bamu raised his hand, condensed Primordial Qi in his right palm, and struck toward Chen Yu's chest.

This guy was a Dharma Cultivator, and his palm strike was extremely fierce. If an ordinary person were hit by this, even if they didn't die, they would at least lose half their life.

Chen Yu stood there blankly, not moving an inch, letting the palm strike come at him.

"Brother..." Just then, Sanwei suddenly appeared and stepped forward to grab Chen Yu's hand.

Bamu hadn't intended to truly hurt Chen Yu, and seeing Chen Yu have no reaction to his palm strike, he pulled back in time.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Sanwei grabbed Chen Yu's hand and said, "Miss Tianxin is calling you to eat up ahead."

"Alright, I know. You go ahead first, I'll come find you in a moment," Chen Yu smiled.

"Okay brother, what are you and Brother Mu doing here?" Sanwei pretended to be curious.

"Nothing, we're just chatting," Bamu said indifferently. "You go ahead and accompany our master first."

"Alrighty." Sanwei nodded, looking harmless, and left the area.

"Friend, I really have no ill intentions. I just want to go to that place with my sister to find a Flame Golden Turtle to treat my family's illness," Chen Yu sighed and said. "If you truly cannot trust us, we will just not follow your team."

Bamu stared at Chen Yu for a long while before the sharp glint in his eyes slowly faded.

"That place is a forbidden zone for you ordinary people. That area is located in a basin in Shuxi; even on the maps of Huaxia, there is no marking for that region."

"Ordinary people only have a dead end if they go there. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Of course I know that place is dangerous, but there is no other way. A parent's grace must be repaid with one's life," Chen Yu cupped his fists and said. "Even if we know we will die, we will still go."

"Then follow our team," Bamu pondered for a moment and said. "Otherwise, whether the two of you can even reach that place alive is another matter."

"Really? You're accepting us?" Chen Yu looked up, revealing a look of surprise.

"You don't look like bad people, and you have filial piety, so I'll help you out," Bamu said. "But you must remember, we may encounter many troubles along the way."

"There are many things you cannot understand, so if you see things like murder and robbery, don't be surprised, and don't think about calling the police; it's useless."
