Wu Chen was stunned and quickly asked: "Evil source? What evil source? What kind of world is this continent? Also, who are you, and why are you in the dragon crystal pendant that my mother gave me?"

The murderous aura coming from the dragon crystal pendant gradually disappeared, and then the woman's delicate voice sounded again: "My name is Man Jiu'er. From now on, you can call me Sister Jiu'er. From the way you don't know anything, I know it's you.

The reason why dad hasn't told you anything. If I guessed correctly, your origin lineage should be inherited from your mother. Because your father's source lineage does not have the 'evil source aura'."

Wu Chen couldn't understand what Man Jiu'er was saying at all. He had been going up the mountain to chop wood and make fires for cooking since he was a child, and he almost never left this small mountain col. The outside world was a mystery to him.

His soul did not belong to this world, and he could not bear the prison-like life. He wanted to climb out of the mountain to see what the outside world was like, but every time without exception, he would think of his mother's instructions before she died.

As a last resort, he suppressed the desire in his heart and still lived a peaceful life in the mountain col.

His mother in this life was really good to him. Ever since Wu Chen had memories, his mother had been very doting on him. However, what was extremely sad was that when Wu Chen’s soul finally woke up.

, my mother was brutally killed on a rainy night.

He still remembered that night, when he followed his father to find his mother in the mountains, his father immediately covered his eyes. When his father asked him to open his eyes again, he saw that his mother was covered with a large robe.

It's the one my father wore.

He threw himself in front of his mother and cried loudly. She still stroked his little head gently with a smile in her eyes. But the reluctance and unwillingness hidden deep in her eyes were clearly captured by Wu Chen, whose soul was already awake. His mother

Just like that, I closed my eyes forever in front of him. In this new world, the most important relative left him forever.

Now that his father had died to protect him, Wu Chen suddenly lost his mood to listen to Man Jiuer's talk about 'origin veins' and 'evil sources'. He picked up his father's body numbly and was about to prepare

Looking for a place to cremate his father, he suddenly heard Man Jiuer's anxious voice coming from the dragon crystal pendant: "Wu Chen, hurry up, get out of here quickly. A powerful martial artist is coming."

When Wu Chen heard that there were powerful martial arts cultivators, Wu Chen naturally immediately thought of the two old men in black robes who had fought with his father before. They were indeed terrifying. So Wu Chen hurriedly carried his father's body and quickly climbed into the mountain from the other side of the col.

Lao Lin.

Originally, he wanted to take Shi Ergou with him, but Shi Ergou just didn't know where to hide. Shi Ergou has been as timid as a mouse since he was a child, and now he is probably hiding in some secret corner. He has even left this small mountain town.

possible.

Wu Chen had no choice but to carry his father's body on his back and got into the deep mountains and old forests, and kept walking inside. Before he had gone far, he suddenly heard the frightened screams of two dogs coming from outside the mountain behind him!

Wu Chen immediately stopped, then put his father on the ground without any hesitation and began to return to the original route.

"Wu Chen, what are you going to do?" Man Jiuer's surprised voice immediately sounded.

"I want to go back and rescue the two dogs." Wu Chen said as he ran quickly. Soon he came to the edge of the mountain forest. When he saw the situation in the small mountain col, Wu Chen was shocked.

He saw a huge column of green flames suddenly rising from the mountain col, and quickly spread and grew in size in his eyes, and soon completely engulfed the entire mountain col. That huge green flame actually contained something special.

The aura was not like pure flames at all. The fire was so powerful that it continued to spread, and it was about to burn to the forest where Wu Chen was.

Fortunately, the rolling scorching wave stopped immediately when it reached the edge of the mountain forest, but it still overturned Wu Chen and forced him to retreat into the forest. However, Wu Chen was worried about the safety of the two dogs, so he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then struggled to get up.

, continue to rush outward.

"Wu Chen, are you crazy?" Man Jiuer shouted loudly and angrily.

"I must save Ergou!" Wu Chen's tone was firm and decisive, without any hesitation at all.

Man Jiuer couldn't help but sneered: "You're a fool to save me! What are you going to do to save me? I tell you, Ergou won't die. If you go back and expose yourself, you will definitely die."

Wu Chen couldn't help but be startled: "Why?"

"Because Ergou has a spirit-level source, even though he is a bit older, in this era where source energy is very scarce and precious, spiritual-level martial practitioners are still very rare. Especially for the 'melting crystal'

As a master, he is also a rare crystal-testing boy. If Ergou's source soul were stronger, he might even be accepted as a disciple by the crystal-melting master who released the 'green soul fire' in front of him."

"Crystal fusion master? Green soul fire? Source soul? Crystal test boy?" Wu Chen's mind was filled with a lot of question marks. He had never heard of these terms, but he knew that Shi Ergou did have a spirit-level source.

Because the two old men in black robes who were killed by his father Wu Zhen also said so.

"I don't care, I still want to save Ergou." Wu Chen had a determined look on his face, and he actually had the courage to rush towards the green flames.

"You..." Man Jiuer was so angry that he didn't know what to say. This Wu Chen turned out to be a stubborn donkey!

As soon as Wu Chen took a step forward, he suddenly felt his body shake, and then started to back up uncontrollably.

"Come on, the source soul of the crystal fusion master is very powerful. Once you get too close, even I can't help you completely hide your aura." Man Jiuer's voice was very solemn, and he forcibly controlled Wu Chen's body to rush towards the mountain forest.

fall back.

Wu Chen gritted his teeth and glanced at the green soul fire that almost filled the entire mountain col. His eyes were full of strong shock. This was more powerful than any of the 'Wuyuan Skills' used by his father and the two black-robed old men before.

Much more!

No longer hesitating, Wu Chen chose to believe Man Jiu'er's words: "Don't control my body, I'll go on my own." As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chen felt his body light up, and then he quickly ran back to where his father's body was.

After that, he carried his father on his back and continued to advance towards the mountains.

There was some humidity in the mountains. Wu Chen stumbled and ran forward for unknown distance until he saw an open flat land, and then he stopped. There were bloodstains all over his body, and there were blood marks on his face and hands.

At this time, Man Jiuer suddenly said: "Wu Chen, it's almost safe now. Cremate your father here, then take your father's ashes and return to your family."

Wu Chen didn't say anything, and carefully placed his father's body in the center of the open space. Then he quickly collected firewood and built a simple wooden frame, and finally put his father's body on it.

He climbed up the big tree, broke some dead wood and put it around the wooden frame. He took one last look at his father, and with the help of Man Jiuer, he solemnly lit the wooden frame. The raging fire quickly drove away the darkness and humidity.

.

When the fire subsided and it was almost dawn, Wu Chen tore off a large piece of cloth from his pants and carefully wrapped his father's ashes.

At this moment, he was shirtless, with almost no trouser leg at all, and his face was covered in mud. At first glance, he looked like a beggar. Holding the cloth bag containing his father's ashes in his hand, Wu Chen looked at Man Jiu'er.

Under the guidance, I started walking towards the outside of the mountain.

"Wu Chen, while you are on your way back to the Wu family in Chiyun City, I will teach you about the knowledge of the mainland." Man Jiuer soon acted like a teacher, telling Wu Chen about the knowledge of the Wuyuan Continent.

The most basic common sense.

After Wu Chen walked out of the mountains and finally turned onto a flat road, he gradually understood what this continent was like.

It turns out that Wuyuan Continent respects martial arts! As soon as all people on the continent are born, they naturally have nine source veins hidden in their bodies. Affected by the power of the ancient curse, the source energy used for training in Wuyuan Continent is becoming increasingly scarce.

And precious. Because the practitioners at the lowest level can only absorb the most turbid and thin source energy for practice, their life span is usually very short. But if you want to extend your life, you must truly enter the martial arts and practice to a higher level of strength.

Enter a higher-level sect to obtain the purer and more abundant Source Qi!

The so-called true stepping into the martial arts is to activate all nine source veins in the body, and rely on the "source pool" on the continent to condense the "Martial Source Vortex" in the body. In Wuyuan Continent, the source veins are the most important thing for martial cultivators.

The most important thing. Almost everything in practice revolves around the source vein.

The origins of martial cultivators are also different. Since ancient times, they have been divided into three levels. From low to high, they are human level, spirit level and king level. The vast majority of martial cultivators on the mainland are

The owners of human-level source veins and spiritual-level source veins are very rare. As for the king-level source veins, they are rare.

Wu Chen knew that the source vein in his body was a king-level source vein, but he did not seem very excited. He was feeling mixed at the moment because he had not forgotten that Man Jiu'er had said that the source vein in his body was an 'evil source'. Literally speaking

From what he heard, he guessed that something was definitely not good.

"Sister Jiu'er, what's going on with that evil source?" Wu Chen walked forward quickly, still looking like a 'beggar'.

"Well, how do you describe this source of evil? To put it simply, the reason why the Origin Qi in Wuyuan Continent has become so turbid and thin now is because of your nine ancient alien races."

"Oh? There are nine major alien races?" Wu Chen couldn't help but become more and more curious about Wuyuan Continent.

"That's right. Your nine alien races were cursed by the ancient kings and gods. Both the source and bloodline have the power of evil curses, so the source is called the source of evil. And the original curse almost affected the entire continent and all the people.

Martial cultivators, so once you appear, you will definitely become the target of all martial cultivators."

"The target of public criticism?" Wu Chen suddenly felt cold in his heart. It turns out that the 'source of evil' is actually due to the existence of evil curse power in the source vein! If it is true that the nine ancient alien races have implicated the entire continent, it will indeed be extremely dangerous once their identities are exposed.

No wonder his father sealed his origin and took him to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his mother, never going anywhere.

Man Jiuer said: "Of course, the knowledge on the mainland is as vast as the vast ocean of stars. Even if you have not been able to understand it all in the past year and a half, I will tell you slowly when I meet you in the future.

Your top priority now is not to return to your family, but to find out the 'source of your evil'."

Wu Chen knew that he had to find a perfect way to hide his 'evil source', otherwise the consequences would be disastrous once exposed.

"Sister Jiu'er, I can only rely on you to find a way to hide my 'evil aura'." Wu Chen said pitifully.

Man Jiuer suddenly sighed again and said: "Wu Chen, hiding your evil aura is a piece of cake. But the most important thing now is that I don't know which of the nine ancient alien races your mother is.

We belong to the same clan, so we have no way of knowing what your bloodline defects are!"

"Bloodline defect?" Wu Chen was surprised when he heard this.

"That's right. The curse of the nine ancient alien races is that each race has a fatal bloodline flaw. The most urgent task now is to find out what your bloodline flaw is. If you can't find your bloodline flaw, wait until it is condensed."

After practicing Wuyuan Whirlpool, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and the impact will be huge." Although Man Jiuer's voice is still delicate, which seems to be the original tone of her voice, but every time she talks about the key points, there is something strange in her voice.

of solemnity.
