024: Towards the Forest of the Demon

In the darkness of that night, Chen An floated in the air slowly, heading towards the southern part of the Demon Forest. He hoped that when he got there, the day had changed by morning.

His mind continued to think hard, about who the figure who had sealed and made the map hundreds of years ago. That figure was definitely not a human from the Underworld.

While where the Upper World was, Chen An himself still had not found the answer despite having accessed Xiang Long's entire memory.

Even the way to come to the world, is not at all imagined by him.

“Did the drug's grandfather make this Map? Then who exactly was the Medicinal Grandfather? If he was from the Upper World, What was his purpose in coming to the Underworld?”

The various questions that did not find the answer, made Chen An's head throb pain. He decided to think of something else.

Chen An suddenly stopped his speed of floating. “Is it just my feeling?” Chen An turned around and circulated his gaze.

Then he shot in a direction, where he had felt the existence of someone. But he did not find any living creatures in that place.

However Chen An's sensitive nose could smell a medicinal scent that was familiar to him.

“This smell... is the smell that seeps from Grandfather Medicine's body. Where is He? Why follow me secretly?”

Chen An became wary, he was only silent in the air, seventy meters high from the ground. It was then that he realized that he was on the edge of the northern Demon Forest.

“Looks like I have to wait for the night to change in the morning. This dim atmosphere, makes it difficult to know the whereabouts of a person or a demon.”

Chen An decided to wait for the morning, on the branch of a large tree that was twenty meters away from him. Just as Chen An was about to move, his body jolted in shock which made him instantly turn around.

“Great also You Chen Cen !… Can know my whereabouts exactly.”

The voice that he knew as the voice of the medicinal Grandfather, sounded right behind Chen An, to the point of making the young man startled instead of flabbergasted.

Had it been the old figure who called himself the Medicine Grandfather had evil intentions on Chen An, it would have been that Prince Chen Bun was already dead by this time.

“Ah Grandpa Medication .. Grandpa has surprised me. Oh Yes ...Why did Grandpa follow me?” Asked Chen An who was pretending to be spoiled as if he was talking to his own Grandfather.

But in fact Chen An had been on guard, Secretly He was flowing qi energy on both of his palms.

“Hahahaha .. Forgive Me Chen Cen , I accidentally followed you. I thought the flying one was a bat demon, it was you.”

The figure of the Medicinal Grandfather chuckled softly as he sensed the qi aura on both of Chen An's palms.

“Who did you learn to float in the air? People in this world, did not know the technique to be able to float in the air. Who are you really, young man? Where are you from?!”

The voice of the Medicinal Grandfather turned resolute with an extremely powerful aura explosion even making Chen An's hovering position falter.

Chen An darted backwards away from the body of the Medicinal Grandfather who was grinning at him. “Reply reply Chen Cen .. Because my patience is very limited.”

Realizing the difference in strength that was adrift far enough, Chen An retracted his qi and immediately told how he could float in midair.

Grandfather Medicine only fell silent after Chen An finished telling all his life stories from the tragic death of his parents, until he met Fei Long and obtained Xiang Long's memories.

“Is all your stories real? Not just your essay to trick me?” Ask Grandfather Medicin with a voice that still sounded resolute.

“Not Grandpa! … How dare I lie to Grandpa. That's the reality I'm experiencing.” Chen An said by suppressing his sense of cry. This was the first time he felt such helplessness.

The figure of Grandfather Medicine only fell silent, it made Chen An's heart beat even faster.

The medicinal grandfather looked at Chen An with his mind still filled with questions, about who Xiang Long was. The big question in his mind was what was the Mustika Star?

“Hundreds of years I've been in the Underworld, so far I haven't found the person I've been looking for.

Still reflected in his memory, the events that occurred more than six hundred years ago. The events of his being thrown into the Underworld, along with the person he most wanted to die.

“Could He have found Master's Treasure Artifacts? If it's .. The less chance I have of killing that traitor.”

The figure who called himself the Drug Grandfather, was still pensive and engrossed in his own thoughts. Chen An could only remain silent, not daring to move in the slightest.

Grandfather Medicine was still reminiscing about past events, when he discovered that his younger brother, Tan Hu, had joined Tianchang who was their teacher's nemesis.

Tan Hu's treachery, made the Master have to be seriously injured while fighting Tianchang. But the Master managed to escape from the place with his illusory skills.

Deep disappointment in his student's betrayal, made the Master decide to go to the Underworld.

Using the unfinished Teleportation Artifact created by him, the Master managed to enter the Underworld.

But the Artifact was still active when his younger brother arrived with another high-level cultivator. The arrival of Tan Hu because he wanted to finish off the Master as proof of his loyalty to Tianchang.

He who was given the task by the Master to destroy the Teleportation Artifact, was attacked by Tan Hu who made himself by being forced to collide with the energy attack.

That huge clash of qi energy, made the bodies of both of them suck into the Artifacts that made both of them flung into the Underworld at different places with great distances.

While the Teleportation Artifact exploded violently to shatter into dust. The explosion also caused Cultivator fellow Tan Hu, to be killed with his body shattered and turned to ashes.

“Medicine grandfather .. Are you okay?”

Chen An's question broke Grandfather Medic's daydream which immediately took a deep breath.

“I'm fine Chen Cen .. Where are you going these nights in this Beast-infested forest?”

As Chen An was momentarily confused, there was no way he would say he would head to the southern part of the Demon Forest and retrieve the Treasure Artifact that contained the Dimensional Space Ring.

“I want to go back to the cave in the middle of this Forest to see if my Master has returned or not?” Chen An replied with a sigh of relief.

“So ... Can I stop by your place?” Grandfather Medic said so because he felt Chen An was an honest and kind Youth.

His age, which had reached eight hundred years, made him want to have a disciple before he died just a thousand years later.

And Chen An was the right figure to inherit his Alchemist abilities as well as his martial arts. However, he did not want to be rash. He wanted to get to know Chen An even more.

“Of course Grandpa Medication .. But may I know, how grandfather could be in this Underworld and what Grandpa is Looking for.”

The Medicine Grandfather smiled hearing that. “I'll tell you on the way to your place of residence.” Answer Grandfather the medicine that made Chen An become happy.

The two floated slowly, Grandfather Medic then told him what had left him silent for quite a while.

“What! Treasure Artifact Stone!” Chen An gasped in shock upon learning, that the black box that was behind his cloak, was the thing that the Medicine Grandfather was looking for in addition to searching for the existence of the teacher as well as Tan Hu, his younger brother.

“What's up? Why are you surprised Chen Cen ? Do you know where that thing is?”
