City Lord's Mansion, attic beside the river.
Tang Yunqing stood solemnly in front of the God of Courage, listening to him add some details about the Seven Divine Beads, the Seven Holy Ancestors, and the deeds of the human race's great sages in his heart, and at the same time, he felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, and gradually turned into motivation, making him full of energy.
He wished he could go out to practice now, practice hard, and then shed his blood for the rise of the human race, but there was one thing that Tang Yunqing couldn't understand.
"Why do you want Ye Luyao to help me grow? What can he help me with?" Tang Yunqing recalled his past experiences and was very sure that Ye Luyao was a burden, not a help.
The God of Courage saw the dissatisfaction in his tone, smiled gently, and said, "I can't tell you the reason now, but what I am sure of is that he can help you a lot."
"Okay..."
Although he didn't want to, the God of Courage said this, so how could Tang Yunqing refuse.
"You are now the head of the Sacred Academy, and you have access to the seven seas and six realms. What are your plans for your future cultivation path?"
"The incident happened suddenly, I'm still a little confused, and the past choices are not appropriate, so I don't have any plans." Tang Yunqing thought for a moment and replied.
"Um." The God of Courage replied softly, then turned to the wooden door of the side hall and shouted, "Come here."
The voice penetrated the wooden door and reached Ye Luyao and Qi Lin's ears. The two immediately opened the door and came to the main hall of the attic, walking towards the God of Courage.
"I have reached an agreement with him, and I called you here to discuss with him about the place of cultivation in the future." The God of Courage looked at Ye Luyao, then at Tang Yunqing, and said, 'The cultivation of the truth-upholder.' is about exploring the truth, discovering the unknown, and seeing everything in the world. Therefore, if you can't stay in your own psychological safety zone, I will give you a suggestion. You can go to the Place of Courage."
"Place of Courage?" Ye Luyao raised his eyebrows.
"Place of Courage!" Tang Yunqing's eyes lit up.
The Place of Courage was a testing ground created by the God of Courage. During the graduation season every year, the principals of each city and some people with special qualifications would participate in it to challenge themselves and survive to get out of it. The spirit and strength of the examiners would increase greatly. Tang Yunqing had thought about going to the Place of Courage, but now he felt that it was not suitable.
Because after getting to know the God of Courage and listening to him tell the story of the Seven Divine Beads, the Place of Courage had also become his psychological safety zone.
The so-called psychological safety zone is a psychological pattern that people are accustomed to, a psychological state that is familiar and comfortable for people. If people's behavior exceeds this pattern, they will feel insecure, anxious, and even afraid.
However, it is precisely in the midst of this insecurity of life and death, in the midst of great fear, that practitioners can truly improve.
It is very dangerous for humans from the Law Domain to go to the Land of Courage, and there are often cases of death. However, since Hai Longzhu recognized him as his master, the God of Courage would never let him die. In the Land of Courage, it is difficult for Tang Yunqing to experience real life suffering, and then break through the realm and grow rapidly.
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but now the Sea Dragon Clan and the Human Race in the Law Domain are facing great danger, so Tang Yunqing must take an unusual path and practice an unusual method.
Although he will be in pain during the process and may even die, after a moment of confusion, Tang Yunqing shook his head at the God of Courage and said, "I don't think the place of courage is suitable either."
Although Tang Yunqing did not explain much of the reason, the Messenger of Courage heard his inner thoughts and could not help but look at Tang Yunqing with admiration.
Ye Luyao besides not knowing where the Place of Courage was, he also did not know the current mental activities of Tang Yunqing and the God of Courage, because along with the suggestion of the God of Courage, an idea came to his mind.
"Let's look for Longting." Ye Luyao suddenly said.
"Longting?" This time it was Tang Yunqing's turn to be confused, while Qi Lin's eyes lit up.
Ye Luyao didn’t like Tang Yunqing, he could even say he hated him. If he found Tang Yunqing showing his ignorance before, he would definitely mock him now, he decided to have a better relationship with Tang Yunqing.
For his father, and for the Sea Dragon Clan.
This was difficult for him, very difficult, but he had to do it, so he calmed his mind and said, “During the Ice Age before the catastrophe, our sea dragon clan was so powerful that it could rival the monsters and spirits, and the territory under our jurisdiction was… It was the entire Falan Sea. At that time, all the great god-level ancestors of our clan lived in the Dragon Palace. The Falan Star was shattered, and the Fairy Continent and the Falan Sea were also destroyed, our Dragon Court was left underground, and according to my father’s investigation over the years, it is very likely that the Dragon Court is located somewhere in the western part of the Law Continent.”
“Is this happening?”
Qi Lin looked shocked and immediately turned his gaze to the God of Courage. Tang Yunqing also looked at the Courage Envoy and found that his face was calm, just like when he heard Ye Luyao say the word 'Longting' earlier.
"Um."
Ye Luyao nodded, "That area is filled with hundreds of lakes, large and small. My father has always wanted to determine the specific location of Longting, but because he couldn't go ashore, he couldn't find it himself. Now that I'm on land, and I have time, so of course I want to look for it, and..."
Ye Luyao suddenly showed hesitation, but soon became firm again. After looking at Qi Lin, Tang Yunqing and the Courage God, he slowly said, "And in the Dragon Palace, there is a sea treasure left by our clan, the heart of the ocean."
"The Heart of the Ocean?"
Hearing the name, Tang Yunqing looked confused, while Qi Lin spoke excitedly, but the Messenger of Courage remained calm, with a feeling of having wisdom in his hands and a plan in his chest.
"Well, the Heart of the Ocean has the effect of monitoring the endless blue sea. Taking it will help me return to the Sea Dragon Emperor City in the future." After Ye Luyao finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Yunqing.
Tang Yunqing ignored the deep meaning in his eyes and asked him, "What is the heart of the ocean?"
"..."
Ye Luyao looked at Qi Lin, then at the God of Courage, and finally at Tang Yunqing. After a moment of silence, he said in a calm tone, "The Heart of the Ocean was born in the deepest part of the Falan Sea, before the great calamity. It is one of the reasons why our clan can rule the Falan Star Sea Clan."
After finishing his words, he paused and added, "There are two in total."
Thank you for dispelling the doubt, Tang Yunqing said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the silent God of Valor suddenly looked at Ye Luyao and said, "The place you mentioned should be Wanshui City. It is about four thousand miles from the City of Truth in a straight line. Following this path, there is a distance of two thousand miles in between. The virgin forest on this path is extremely dangerous and far beyond my protection range."
"..."
Tang Yunqing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
Although he had experienced some dangers and fears in advance to hone himself, he had never thought of deliberately going to dangerous places, especially in the two thousand miles of mountains and forests, with countless waters, and the threat of the devil's minions, the danger he faced had increased exponentially.
He turned to look at Ye Luyao and found that his face was calm. He didn't know if it was because he was not afraid, or because he gritted his teeth and accepted the arrangement of the God of Courage, as a man, could he not show fear in front of him, so he nodded to the God of Courage, "As you said, we will pass through the ancient forest."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Luyao and asked, "The area under the jurisdiction of Wanshui City is very vast, with crisscrossing rivers and dense lakes. How can we find Longting when we get there?"
"Where the Dragon Palace is located, the water element must be very strong. With the Sea Dragon Clan enhancing your perception, it shouldn't be difficult to find it."
After listening to Ye Luyao's words, Qi Lin's eyes lit up even more, and he couldn't help but stare at the God of Courage. Judging from the micro-movements of his body, if the God of Courage was not there, he would have spoken immediately, and then let Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao set off immediately.
The God of Courage seemed very calm on the surface, but his words also seemed a little urgent.
"Then, you go back and rest tonight, then set off tomorrow."
"As ordered."
Tang Yunqing looked at the God of Courage with serious and firm eyes, as if he was swearing an oath to him, while Ye Luyao only replied in a low voice.
"I wish you success." After the God of Courage said this, Qi Lin, the City Lord of Truth, took Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao out with understanding, and then asked the magistrate of the City Lord's Mansion to send them home.
After arranging everything, Qi Lin hurried back to the lakeside loft and looked at the God of Courage who was sitting at his desk thinking. After pausing a few times, he finally asked, "Master, is that true?" "Don't you plan to arrange some people to protect them? That's the Sea Dragon Pearl... and not only the Sea Dragon Pearl, but also the Princess of the Sea Dragon Clan..."
The God of Courage looked at Qi Lin doubtfully and said, "What? I wasn't serious enough when I spoke just now?"
"Of course not."
Qi Lin looked bitter and shook his head.
"Then what do you mean?" asked the God of Courage.
"She's too important. I'm afraid of an accident." Qi Lin said seriously.
"It is precisely because he is important that we cannot interfere in his life carelessly." The God of Courage said, "Furthermore, I believe that the Sea Dragon Pearl made with the heart of the Holy Ancestor will never find him for no reason. I am sure that Tang Yunqing is not ordinary." After saying this, the God of Courage looked into Qi Lin's eyes and said, "You should believe it too."
"Yes, Master!"
Qi Lin was shocked when he heard this.
At the same time, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao were sitting in the carriage arranged by the city lord's mansion, and the scenery outside the window was rapidly fading.
Tang Yunqing sat opposite Ye Luyao, raising his head to look at Ye Luyao from time to time, as if he wanted to say something to her, but Ye Luyao remained indifferent to his words. Tang Yunqing finally held it in. Unable to restrain himself, he asked loudly, "Why didn't you say anything when the Divine Envoy told us to pass through the virgin forest just now? Aren't you afraid that we would really die in it?"
"What should I say?" Ye Luyao looked at Tang Yunqing calmly and said, "I am very desperate."
"Why are you desperate?" Tang Yunqing was stunned.
