More than just needing to be treated with caution, simply setting up a shrine to worship Su Cishang would still feel like not enough was being done.
Their understanding of Su Cishang was still not deep enough, because that senior simply had no way to describe to them in detail just how awe-inspiring and terrifying Su Cishang truly was.
Because… it was a taboo.
Taboos, naturally, could not be spoken of too much.
Mo Feixi and Lan Muzui were directly arranged to stay at the Firmament Academy, because everyone in their group was qualified. Once the instructors determined what kind of qualifications each of them possessed, further arrangements could be made.
Becoming a member of the Misty Continent’s academy was originally their goal, so wouldn’t current arrangements be even better?
“Muzui, what are you thinking about?” Mo Feixi was a very good partner because he exercised great self-restraint. Before they were formally married and officially bound as cultivation partners, he would not cross any boundaries.
Because Muzui was worth waiting for.
Although they could not go to the very final step, the emotional bond between the two of them remained very stable, and they shared many tender moments in daily life.
“Feixi, I am thinking about that twin younger brother of Bu Liuqing.” Leaning naturally against his partner’s body, having finally arrived here and finding themselves situated within an entirely different realm, he did not want any unexpected changes to occur.
Thinking of the system that was currently upgrading as a result of coming to this Misty Continent, Lan Muzui felt a sense of uncertainty and a lingering feeling of things slipping out of control.
This sense of loss of control came very abruptly, and it stemmed from the twin younger brother of Bu Liuqing whom they had encountered today.
That twin younger brother was identical, without a single difference. Aside from his temperament and demeanor, they truly looked like the exact same person. Such a sudden encounter made Lan Muzui somewhat restless.
And then there was that Dragon clan member, as well as that creation fruit.
They had been just that little bit away from allowing him to help the system accelerate its upgrade speed. This was a brand-new world—a larger, more vast world with vastly more opportunities, and even a world where one could truly contend for longevity and become an immortal or a deity. He did not want to miss it, and he could even continue striving and growing stronger until he could eventually shake off the system.
Whether it was the dragon tendons or the creation fruit, both were treasures he urgently needed right now.
As for why he did not seize this opportunity to shake off the system—anyway, the system was upgrading, and it was still unknown how long the upgrade would take to succeed.
Because now was simply not the time; he was completely unfamiliar with this world.
He was unfamiliar with it, but the system certainly knew.
When he had first transmigrated to that imprisoned continent and into that novel world, he had originally thought it was just a novel—an interesting and special world. Yet Lan Muzui discovered that things were not nearly that simple.
Because once he and Feixi had killed that great demon king, his memories of the past and of that novel, which he had originally known inside and out, became blurred, and he grew increasingly unable to remember them clearly. However, he was able to remember his own origins clearly.
Originally, after transmigrating, he had become one of the male protagonists of that novel. He had been happy and thrilled because he naturally liked men, and being able to transmigrate into such a world and be together with that kind of male protagonist was something he prayed for.
Because he possessed a god’s-eye view and even more so the assistance of a system, he could perform better than the original protagonist and gain more than the original protagonist.
Now, they had arrived in a brand-new world.
A new continent completely detached from the plot and outside the scope of the novel—Lan Muzui naturally harbored worries.
Fortunately, back on the imprisoned continent, through the system combined with his own efforts, his potential was currently immense, waiting only to be fully unleashed within this new continent.
It was just that the smooth sailing of this period, along with that kind of pursuer, had caused Lan Muzui’s vigilance to drop quite a bit, especially after encountering such a powerful existence today whose true visage they could not even glimpse particularly because that person had a man by his side who looked exactly like that great demon king.
This caused a sense of unease to well up within Lan Muzui’s heart.
“That person?” Mo Feixi asked.
In truth, within Mo Feixi’s heart, what he guarded against and feared even more was that mysterious powerhouse, as well as the matter concerning the Dragon clan.
Originally, he had not wanted to make such a move, but thinking of Muzui’s situation, and for Muzui’s sake, if he had to risk danger, then he would risk danger. He had taken almost everything into consideration, even restricting and sealing off the Dragon clan’s means of contacting outside help.
Yet he never expected that things would not go according to human calculations, and that the other party’s elders would come looking for them directly.
Just how much importance must one place on a junior for them to come searching directly the moment a tiny bit of news was lost?
The fact that the other party could arrive so quickly demonstrated extraordinary methods, and their strength was even more unfathomably deep.
It seemed that during their time in Firmament Academy, he had to elevate his strength. At least he needed to recover half of his past strength; otherwise, upon this continent, true peace of mind would forever remain out of reach.
Furthermore, Mo Feixi also knew of a major event.
An earth-shattering, heaven-shaking major event, which was why he needed to properly elevate his cultivation and strength.
