╠ Second Universe ╣


    _Misty Cloud Empire_


    In a remote vige, a group of more than ten young men in simple clothes walked out of the vige with weapons in their hands. They were heading to the Shadow Forest to hunt for battle beasts.


    They were equipped with many kinds of weapons such as bows, axes, sabers, broadswords, etc.


    Outside the Shadow Forest...


    "Captain, look..." Suddenly, a young man called out.


    "What is it!? Don''t you know that you have to keep your voice down at the periphery of the Shadow Forest? If the demonic beasts are alerted and run away, our vige''s food will be gone. These demonic beasts are all very cunning."


    A low and deep shout was heard. Then, a robust young man walked out. The rest of the people looked at this young man with reverence.


    In a small vige like theirs, there were usually no experts.


    Very few people were able to cultivate Spirit Energy and be Martial Warrior. Not to mention this young man, their captain was a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert!


    In their vige, only the Vige Chief and the other older generation experts could bepared to him.


    The young man who was berated shrunk his neck and pointed to the other side: "There is an old man lying there."


    "Old man!" Everyone cried out in a low voice, their faces shing with uncontroble anger.


    "Those guys, what kind of sons or daughters are they to leave an old man like him inside this forest." A young man''s face was filled with resentment.


    When the young captain saw this, he sighed. "Every family has its own difficulties. We are at the border of the Misty Cloud Empire, and thend here is not fertile. If we want to live, we can onlye to the Shadow Forest to hunt. However, although the Shadow Forest isn''trge, there are also quite a number of demonic beasts inside. Though most of them are low-raked demonic beasts, however, there are still quite a number of demonic beasts of the Innate Realm. Fortunately, the demonic beasts of the Innate Realm and above are all in the depths of the Forest. Otherwise, we would have be their foods instead of making them ours."


    "Furthermore, once those demonic beasts run out, all the viges near the Shadow Forest will suffer and be their food."


    "The Shadow Forest is extremely dangerous. There are many hunting teams that have returned without sess. Sometimes, they really can''t afford to raise these old people. So, it is not strange for them to leave an old man like him here and let him die."


    "Sigh, what a sin. Forget it, our vige is one of the better viges around the Shadow Forest. We can afford to have an additional old man. Let''s carry this old man back."


    Suddenly, a few young men walked out and lifted the old man lying on the ground.


    These young men looked at the old man with sympathy.


    .....


    In the vige, the vigers all had the surname Fan.


    Many young women were gathered at the entrance of the vige, anxiously waiting for their men to return.


    The Shadow Forest was dangerous. Even though Fan Vige was considered a rtively powerful vige in the vicinity, it was inevitable that there would be casualties. Sometimes, there would even be casualties.


    These women all had looks of anticipation and uneasiness on their faces. They didn''t want anything to happen to their men.


    The leader of these women was a shy and delicate woman.


    The girl beside him said enviously, "I really envy Fan Xiao. She actually married Fan Han. Fan Han is only in his early twenties, but he is already a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm martial warrior. Perhaps he will be an Innate Realm martial warrior in the future. At that time, Fan Xiao will be blessed."


    "Not only Fan Xiao, but we will also be blessed. It is because, at that time, we don''t have to worry about any major casualties in the future." Another girl said.


    When the delicate and pretty woman heard this, she felt shy and proud. Her bright eyes looked in the direction of the Shadow Forest.


    Suddenly, the crowd started to move.


    "He''s back!"


    "They''re back!"


    "Howe they''re back so soon?"


    "Could it be that something happened today?"


    "No, nothing bad must happen."


    Hearing that something might have happened, all the women''s faces changed.


    It was only when all the members of the hunting squad returned and discovered that they were all lightly injured and no one had died did the many women finally heave a sigh of relief.


    Fan Xiao walked forward and wiped away the sweat on Fan Han''s forehead. Only then did his heartache as he said: "I''ll have to trouble you again this time."


    Fan Han chuckled and said: "I''m the captain of the hunting squad. It''s no trouble at all. Working for the vige can also make you eat better, right?"


    Fan Xiao rolled her eyes at Fan Han.


    Fan Han''s face suddenly became wretched. "But because we came back early this time, we didn''t have the time to fight to our heart''s content. Why don''t we..."


    Fan Han didn''t lower his voice, and the group of young men around him started howling. Even some of the girls looked like they were watching a good show.


    Fan Xiao pinched Fan Han''s body hard. "You are always naughty."


    Although she said this, however, her face was flushed red. The others wereughing secretly when they saw this.


    "Oh right, why did youe back so early today? It''s more than two hours earlier than usual."


    Speaking of serious matters, Fan Han''s facial expression turned serious. He sighed and told them about what had happened in the outer perimeter of the Shadow Forest. Fan Xiao and the other girls were furious. They all scolded the person who had left the old man behind.


    Although they were angry, Fan Xiao and the others knew the difficulties of some viges. They also knew that some of the old men in some viges would take the initiative to abandon them.


    These old people were unwilling to be burdens for their sons or grandsons.


    Fan Xiao sighed and said, "Let me take care of this old uncle today. It just so happens that I have inherited my father''s medical skills. I should be able to receive treatment."


    "This... Alright." Although Fan Han wanted to do some unspeakable things with his wife, he could only temporarily restrain himself in the situation of rescuing the old man.


    .....


    Night soon enveloped the entire world.


    In a wooden house in the Fan Vige...


    After checking the old man''s body, Fan Xiao found it strange. "It''s really strange. This old man''s body is really good among his peers. It seemed that he has just fainted. However, he is already old, but his condition is so perfect. How could the nearby viges take care of an old man like him so well?"


    "And since they could take care of him so well, why did they choose to abandon him?"


    "What is going on?"


    In the nearby viges, which old man is not entangled by the disease and suffers every day?


    The old man in front of her didn''t have a single illness, and he was extremely healthy.


    Even if his body was extremely old, it was still normal for him to be sick. But the old man in front of him is extremely healthy. There was no sign of any kind of illness on him.


    Fan Xiao waited for a night before telling Fan Han about the matter. Fan Han frowned. "Perhaps it isn''t a nearby vige but another one. Perhaps it is because this old uncle has trained well. Perhaps this old uncle was also a powerful martial warrior when he was young, that''s why he has such a healthy body."


    "Forget it. Since he has been rescued, we will ask him when he wakes up. No matter how bad our vige''s condition is, we can still afford to feed one more mouth. Moreover, we also have quite a bit of food stored in the vige currently. There is no need to worry about anything."


    Fan Xiao nodded, indicating that she understood.


    .....


    The old man saved by Fan Han was naturally Ye Xiao who turned old after stepping on the altar.


    Ye Xiao had been lying in the Shadow Forest for nearly an entire day.


    The moment he entered the Second Universe, he felt extremely weak. It is as if he once again became a mortal. It is because the Laws and Profound Meanings of Heavenly Dao don''t have any effect in the Second Universe. Thus, he immediately became a mortal, without any power.


    However, he still has the nine abilities from the Nine Ancestral Dragons in hand. He could use them however he wants.


    Anyway, due to the impact and sudden change in the environment as well as thews of the world, Ye Xiao fainted.


    It was only the next day he finally woke up.
