"In the future, if there are outsiders present, you need not call me master anymore. What happens between us is known to you and me, and that is enough. If necessary, I allow you to show hostility towards me."
Fang Chen's calm voice echoed softly.
At the moment those words fell, Zuo Zongshou's expression changed. He raised his head, and in his gaze towards Fang Chen, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared. He was not afraid of lacking strength; he feared following a foolish master. Since he had chosen to follow Fang Chen, everything would be centered around him. Zuo Zongshou naturally hoped that Fang Chen was not someone without much cunning, who only acted on impulse.
After all, if that were the case, then even if Fang Chen possessed unparalleled talent and was incredibly gifted, it would be destined for him to struggle to truly grow and ultimately face an early demise.
However, now, with Fang Chen's brief words, Zuo Zongshou no longer had such concerns. Successfully gaining a follower whose cultivation was even stronger than his own was undoubtedly a significant achievement. If it were someone else, they would likely feel a sense of pride or even arrogance about this accomplishment, wishing for the whole world to know what an extraordinary feat they had achieved.
Yet none of this existed in Fang Chen. On the contrary, he was making every effort to conceal their relationship. This was the safest approach for both Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou.
"Great things can be accomplished!"
In an instant, those four words flashed through Zuo Zongshou's mind.
With a freakish talent and exceptional intellect, unarrogant and unhurried, having such a master meant that one day he, Zuo Zongshou, would surely rise to great heights!
"Hmm?" Suddenly, he furrowed his brow as if recalling something. His expression shifted slightly as he said to Fang Chen, "Master, if we encounter any other disciples from Jincheng Sect or Crimson Bright Sect, we must be very careful. All disciples from Crimson Bright and Jincheng who enter the Colorful Sacred Realm will directly attack and kill any disciples from Ziyang Sect they encounter."
Now that he had already submitted to Fang Chen, Zuo Zongshou understood that this freak was a Heavenly Pride disciple of Ziyang Sect. With Jincheng Sect and Crimson Bright Sect secretly sending disciples beyond the Peak of the Transformation Realm and Primordial Embryo Realm, as well as two Heavenly Realm elders into the Colorful Sacred Realm, the most dangerous situation within the realm likely involved Fang Chen and other disciples from Ziyang Sect.
Since he had submitted to Fang Chen, they would share both glory and misfortune; if Fang Chen fell, he too would meet his end in an instant. Therefore, without any hesitation, Zuo Zongshou revealed everything he knew about the situation.
"Deadly disciple of the Ziyang Sect. Hah, what a great display of power," Fang Chen sneered. The disciples of the Crimson Bright Sect and the Ziyang Sect already had an irreconcilable conflict, often leading to bloodshed upon meeting. But now that the Jincheng Sect had also joined in, they naturally became part of Fang Chen's list of targets.
"Tell me about the situation in this Colorful Sacred Realm, and how many disciples from the Crimson Bright Sect and Jincheng Sect are currently in this Lava Hell," Fang Chen said, frowning.
This was Fang Chen's first time entering the Colorful Sacred Realm, and he had come in hastily without any preparation, leaving him completely unaware of the realm's details. This situation was undoubtedly a disadvantage for him. Now that he had Zuo Zongshou, who had previously entered the Colorful Sacred Realm, by his side, Fang Chen could not miss the opportunity to learn more about it.
Once Fang Chen finished speaking, Zuo Zongshou nodded and began to share everything he knew.
Not long after, about a quarter of an hour later, Zuo Zongshou finished his explanation, and Fang Chen finally gained a general understanding of the Colorful Sacred Realm he was in.
"Wind, fire, water, thunder, wood, earth, ice—the so-called Colorful Sacred Realm is mostly composed of these forbidden areas," Fang Chen murmured to himself.
The so-called forbidden areas refer to dangerous regions within the Colorful Sacred Realm where terrifying entities exist that surpass the Alchemy Realm. For example, in the Lava Hell representing fire, there resides a Lava Demon from the Heavenly Realm.
Aside from these seven forbidden areas, there are also some relatively safer regions and a small core area within the Colorful Sacred Realm known as the Heritage Site!
"Heritage Site," Fang Chen silently repeated to himself, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.
This was a particularly special place within the Colorful Sacred Realm. Unlike other areas where Heritage is hard to find, this site contained a wealth of Heritage. The least valuable Heritage here belonged to powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm, and at its deepest point lay the Heritage of Rainbow Saint, the leader of the Colorful Sacred Sect with Nirvana Realm cultivation.
That was the most precious treasure within the entire Colorful Sacred Realm! After all, other Heritage or Supreme Creations were all derived from this Rainbow Saint. The strongest among them were merely Heritage belonging to several Dao Sovereign Realm experts.
However, unlike other places, entering this small Heritage Site was extremely difficult; one had to traverse through the most perilous Thunder Abyss among the seven forbidden areas to reach it. Historically, among disciples attending the Seven Sects Conference who entered the Colorful Sacred Realm, the highest number of deaths occurred in that Thunder Abyss filled with countless Frenzy lightning strikes and even thunder beasts.
Successfully reaching the Heritage Site has been achieved by only a handful of people over the years. Those few undoubtedly gained significant rewards. However, the core Heritage of the Rainbow Saint and the Heritage of the three Dao Sovereign Realm Experts have yet to be obtained by anyone.
"Don't let those two old fellows get the Heritage of the three Dao Sovereign Realm Experts and the Rainbow Saint," Fang Chen said, casting a distant glance at a small area of the Heritage Site that Zuo Zongshou was describing.
He knew very well that with the Heavenly Realm cultivation of those two old fellows from the Jincheng Sect and Crimson Bright Sect, it would be impossible to stop them from crossing a large expanse of Thunder Abyss. At this moment, they might have already traversed much of the Thunder Abyss and were heading toward the Heritage Site.
Within the Heritage Site, the Heritage of Heavenly Realm warriors is considered secondary; the truly precious ones belong to the three Dao Sovereign Realm Experts and the Rainbow Saint. Obtaining any one of these four Heritages would be a tremendous gain for both Jincheng Sect and Crimson Bright Sect, potentially breaking the balance between the Seven Sects Conference in the future. If they were to acquire the Heritage of the Rainbow Saint, it would be even more astonishing.
However, knowing this was one thing; being able to prevent it was another. Fang Chen felt powerless against it all; all he could do now was...
"There are still a small number of disciples from Jincheng Sect and Crimson Bright Sect in Lava Hell," Fang Chen murmured, a cold smile playing at his lips.
Wang Chaoyang had fallen, and Yao Yunye, who also had Primordial Embryo Realm cultivation, had long since headed toward Thunder Abyss. Aside from that, most disciples from Jincheng and Crimson Bright had scattered to search for their own Supreme Creation. Only a very small portion remained wandering in Lava Hell, and this portion was Fang Chen's target!
"If I can't kill the big ones, I'll start with the small ones." A chilling voice echoed softly in the cave.
