On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Three or four years ago, Lu Chuan had heard the Sage of Mystery mention this.

The world they inhabited was only the Eastern Continent, one of the four great continents.

And between the four continents, there are endless seas.

No one knows what dangers lurk in that endless sea.

The sheer distance between just a few states is enough to make one feel hopeless.

Even if Lu Chuan were to cross the river at the speed of a nine-star Martial Venerable, it would probably take him about ten years to make the round trip.

Ten years.

How many decades does one have in a lifetime?

And this is assuming everything goes smoothly.

If there is danger or difficulty finding medicine, it could take up to twenty years.

Even more deadly is...

These two main ingredients are simply irreplaceable.

Without them, the Soul-Suppressing Pill cannot be refined, and those Martial Venerables down the mountain will have to wait to die.

As the spiritual energy further recovers and becomes more concentrated, the toxins intensify, and even Martial Emperors and Martial Kings may be affected by the Heart Demon Poison.

At that point, humanity will truly be finished, having lost both its top and core fighting forces.

"This was something I should have done."

After a long silence, the sage who saved the world finally broke the silence and said,

"I understand pharmacology, so going is the most suitable option for me."

"But young friend Lu, you know that I'm an old man with only a few years left to live."

"I'm afraid they'll die on the way before they even reach Xiniuhezhou."

Sage Xiang Meng also spoke in a deep, resonant voice.

"I can't go either."

"I'd be willing to go fight and kill people."

"I can't identify medicinal herbs."

"I can't even tell what they look like, so it would be a waste of my time to go."

Both the Sage of Withered Glory and the Sage of Azure Clouds remained silent.

Their condition was similar to that of the saint who saved the world; their vital energy was depleted, and they could not withstand such a long journey.

For an instant.

The gazes of all four sages fell upon Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan lowered his head.

Looking at the bluestone floor in front of me.

He certainly knew he was the most suitable candidate.

He deduced the formula for the Soul-Suppressing Pill, and he knew the properties of those two herbs best.

He is now a nine-star Martial Venerable, strong enough to protect himself in case of danger.

He is the youngest

We can afford to wait these ten years or so.

But there are still so many people in Nancheng waiting for him.

Liu Fuyao, Shangguan Yue, Hu Mei, Su Ling'er...

This departure.

We haven't seen each other for over a decade.

They might even die far away and never see each other again; Lu Chuan found it difficult to make a choice.

The reason he was able to cultivate to this point from the very beginning is not because he truly had so much concern for the world; he was simply pushed here step by step.

He just wanted to protect his own little family.

I just want a peaceful and stable life.

But unexpectedly, as his cultivation level increased, so did his responsibilities, and the burden on his shoulders became increasingly heavy.

Even now, he has to shoulder the entire burden of the human race.

Lu Chuan felt extremely heavy-hearted.

For a moment, I really didn't know what to choose.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and faced the four saints in front of him.

Four elderly people...

"Several sages."

"Kid knows what to do."

"However, please allow me to go back one more time; I need to settle things at home."

The four sages looked at Lu Chuan, their faces displaying complex expressions.

They knew it was too cruel to place such a heavy burden on a young man.

But they had no other choice.

Humanity has no other choice!

"Go."

The Sage of Azure Clouds nodded.

Be careful in everything you do.

"Um."

Lu Chuan didn't waste any more words and turned to walk out of the palace.

After transforming into a streak of crimson light, it landed directly at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

……

The scene at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

This made Lu Chuan feel sad again.

Although the grass and trees are lush and the flowers are in full bloom.

This should have been a vibrant and lively scene.

But in this sea of ​​flowers, dozens of withered old people were trapped haphazardly.

They were bound with thick iron chains.

Some people were screaming in pain, while others were frantically banging their heads against the rock face.

The resurgence of spiritual energy caused their inner demons to flare up even more frequently.

"Venerable Lu!"

"Venerable Lu, you've arrived!"

When Venerable Liuyun and Venerable Heifeng saw Lu Chuan, they hurriedly came to greet him.

They were also covered in wounds, clearly from the effort they had taken to suppress the other berserk martial masters.

"Venerable Lu, you've broken through to the Nine-Star Martial Venerable realm?"

Venerable Liuyun asked cautiously, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Chuan nodded.

The next moment, he looked around and frowned.

"Where is Granny Bloodhand?"

Lu Chuan asked.

He came here back then.

Blood-Hand Granny was the most proactive one.

But on the other side, Venerable Liuyun and Venerable Heifeng exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

After a while, Venerable Liuyun lowered his head.

My mother-in-law passed away a few years ago.

"The inner demon poison flared up, and she couldn't withstand it."

"And so is Sect Leader Dugu."

boom!

Lu Chuan suddenly took a long, deep breath.

He stood there, unable to utter a single word.

I felt inexplicably choked up and uncomfortable.

Although he had little contact with these people, and they were even enemies at first.

But seeing these once powerful figures die silently from the poison of their inner demons is truly unsettling.

He just felt uncomfortable.

Extremely distressed.

I gave them hope, and they have been waiting for me ever since.

Even if it means death.

I'm waiting for him too!!!

Am I really going to give up like this?

Across from him, Venerable Liuyun sighed, took out a yellowed ancient book from his robes, and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Venerable Lu".

"The sect leader of the Dugu Sect had a period of lucidity before his demise."

"He gave this to me and asked me to make sure to pass it on to Venerable Lu."

Lu Chuan took it and looked at it.

The cover has four large characters: Dugu Nine Swords.

This is the lifelong legacy of the Dugu Sect Master.

He proved his Dao through killing, and devoted his entire life's work to this sword technique.

He didn't want his legacy to end, so he left it to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan gripped the ancient book tightly in his hand, feeling its immense weight, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

next moment.

He put the ancient book into his system space and looked up at the martial lords around him.

Dozens of pairs of eyes.

They were all staring at him expectantly.

Lu Chuan finally knew what he had to do, cleared his throat, and said softly,

"Dear seniors."

"I have already deduced the formula for the Soul-Suppressing Pill."

"Now we only need the last two main ingredients."

"But these two medicines are not found in Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"I am about to leave to search for these two main medicinal ingredients overseas."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely bring them back."

Upon hearing this, all the martial masters trembled with excitement and bowed deeply to thank Lu Chuan.

"Thank you, Venerable Lu!"

"We will never forget Venerable Lu's great kindness!"

Black Wind Venerable and Flowing Cloud Venerable, their eyes also red, bowed deeply to Lu Chuan.

"Venerable Lu".

"Searching for medicine across continents is fraught with danger."

"If you encounter insurmountable obstacles outside, then so be it, just come back as soon as possible."

"Anyway, we old bones have been holding on for so many years."

"At worst..."

"Let's wait a little longer..."
