A comparison of the two Douluo, starting with Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang.

Chen Ming's description of Qingyun Peak and Qingyun Road instantly reminded Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong of the Light of the Sea God from back then.

[This Qingyun Road, apart from having a bit more mental attacks, is otherwise no different from the Light of the Sea God.]

So, the Chosen Land within the Spirit Sea Mountains is located atop Azure Cloud Peak?

Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes.

They absolutely must go to Qingyun Peak!

So, after Chen Ming finished explaining the situation at Qingyun Peak and asked the three of them which path they wanted to choose, Yu Xiaogang answered almost without hesitation.

"We've chosen the hiking trail!"

The speed of this choice momentarily stunned Xu Aoxin.

She looked at Yu Xiaogang with some surprise, seemingly not understanding why he had made a decision without even thinking it through.

"Then let's choose the hiking trail."

However, since Yu Xiaogang had made his decision, Xu Aoxin decided not to dwell on it any longer.

She was completely clueless about both paths anyway, so it didn't matter which one she went down.

"So, you want to try climbing the Qingyun Road from Qingyun Peak?"

Chen Ming guessed Yu Xiaogang's plan almost instantly.

"Hmm, I want to see what the wonders of nature really look like."

[Yu Xiaogang said in a somewhat subtle tone.]

Having learned the general situation of Qingyun Road, Yu Xiaogang knew perfectly well that the so-called masterpiece of nature must be something beyond the capabilities of a level 99 Soul Master.

[It's just that the abilities at that level are beyond the comprehension of ordinary soul masters, so they mistakenly believe it was sculpted by nature.]

"Okay, but don't get your expectations too high."

"As far as I know, climbing the path to success is the same no matter where you go; you will gain nothing."

"This is the result of countless people testing the waters."

"Although I don't really want to say it, that hypocritical emperor once tried to climb the ladder of power, but even he ended up with nothing. That should give you an idea of ​​the situation here."

[Chen Ming said, seemingly to prove his point, he even used the example of the Sun and Moon Emperors.]

"Emperor...you mean, the Sun and Moon Emperor walked the Path of Ascension?"

Xu Aoxin's eyes widened; she didn't even have time to dwell on Chen Ming's description of her father.

"I also heard it from somewhere, I don't know where the news came from, but it says that when he came to the Linghai Mountains, he stayed at Qingyun Peak the longest."

"Nobody knows what he did, and nobody knows how many steps he climbed."

"Anyway, these are all just stories circulating in the streets, and the content is actually quite outrageous, so not many people care about them."

Chen Ming said.

When the gossip was mentioned, Yu Xiaogang and the other two could clearly see a momentary twist in Chen Ming's expression, a look of hesitancy.

Xu Aoxin wisely chose not to pursue the matter further regarding Chen Ming's changing expression and the rumors circulating about it.

She didn't want to hear any gossip about her father.

[After all, it's obvious that something as serious as Chen Ming's face contorted like that couldn't possibly be a legitimate story.]

Unlike Xu Aoxin's rejection, Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong were quite curious about the folk tales surrounding the Sun and Moon Emperor.

[Especially Yu Xiaogang, who has always felt that a great deal of information can sometimes be gleaned from anecdotes circulating in the public sphere.]

As the saying goes, never underestimate the wisdom of ordinary people.

Often, a case that has troubled the yamen runners for years might end up in the hands of an ordinary farmer, who could immediately spot something amiss.

Those official documents that seem flawless can sometimes be found to have flaws when read aloud to ordinary people.

Never underestimate those who scrutinize everything with a magnifying glass; they can often deduce a great deal from the slightest clues.

"Since this is a place the emperor visited, we should definitely take a good look at it."

Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.

Xu Aoxin glanced at Yu Xiaogang's smiling face, and finally nodded.

[The path my own father walked...]

So, could the reason that prompted his father to deliberately create chaos in Silvermoon City be this so-called Azure Cloud Road?

"I want to see what secrets are hidden behind this!"

And so, the group chose the hiking trail.

After making preparations, the group of four embarked on a journey deep into the Linghai Mountains.

Throughout the journey, Chen Ming explained the situation in the mountains to Yu Xiaogang and the other two.

For example, when passing by a century-old ginseng, Chen Ming pointed to the ginseng that Yu Xiaogang and the others thought was fine and said that this ginseng had been contaminated with a deadly poison.

Yu Xiaogang examined it repeatedly, but still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

To verify Chen Ming's words, the group stopped and dug the ginseng root out of the ground.

The ginseng that was dug up still looked perfectly normal.

Then, Chen Ming caught a passing rabbit.

"Hmm, it's a Soft-Boned Rabbit."

To be honest, Yu Xiaogang was quite pleased to see the same spirit beasts found in Douluo Continent on Sun Moon Continent.

This proves that they are still in the same world as Douluo Continent.

[But how exactly did the Soft-Boned Rabbit manage to cross the vast ocean and arrive at the Sun and Moon Continent?]

Yu Xiaogang expressed his incomprehension.

Then, Chen Ming took a small piece of the root from the end of the ginseng plant and fed it to the soft-boned rabbit.

A moment later, something happened that made Yu Xiaogang and the other two's pupils shrink.

The soft-boned rabbit, which had been nestled calmly in Chen Ming's arms, suddenly began to convulse.

Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, the soft-boned rabbit foamed at the mouth and completely lost its life.

"See? This guy just died like that."

"You guys don't actually think this guy died from the ginseng rootlets he ate were too nourishing, do you?"

Chen Ming handed the Soft-Boned Rabbit to Yu Xiaogang and the other two, as if to let them inspect it.

After examining the rabbit, Yu Xiaogang confirmed that it had indeed died from poison. If it had died from excessive nourishment, its body should have been in a state of surging blood and qi.

"It really is poisonous..."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

I genuinely couldn't see anything wrong with that ginseng.

[If this were in the Douluo Continent, this ginseng would definitely fetch a high price at auction.]

But what happened? It turned out to be a deadly thing.

Now Yu Xiaogang finally understood why people said that those who went into the mountains after exhausting their food and drink were gambling with their lives every time they ate or drank.

Because they genuinely can't tell whether these things are poisonous or not.
