Chapter 306 - Deserted Island Part Four

"Junior Sister, is this really safe?" Mei Yan asked as she looked around nervously. 

Ah Chun looked at this supposed senior sister of hers and shook her head. "Senior Sister Yan needs to gain some courage. All things in this world come at a price. Like me for instance. I have already died twice!" 

Mei Yan's face paled at Ah Chun's words. She was not sure if this new little junior sister of hers was telling the truth or not. Ah Chun let out a laugh seeing Mie Yan's reaction. "This is what I mean. You need to show a bit more courage! If you do, you will harvest unimaginable gains. Come on let's go treasure hunting!"

Mei Yan, clenched her fist, trying to shake off the fear of the unknown that was creeping up on her. Ah Chun who was watching Mei Yan closely during this time could tell that Mei Yan was very timid. This was not a good trait for a cultivator. This was the reason why she wanted to split Mei Yan up from the other two. It seemed that they sheltered this girl a bit too much. Ah Chun knew it would not be a one day thing but she hoped that she could at least toughen Mei Yan up enough to allow her to survive if she was ever caught in a situation where her life was at stake. Ah Chun thought of it as a way to pay the three back for watching over her while she was having her breakthrough. 

The island they were on was quite big to Ah Chun's surprise. The tall mountain in front of them seemed to rise high up into the sky. The op of it was obscured by clouds. Ah Chun had wrapped Mei Yan in her spirit power and flew up into the air to get a better look. This of course came with a scream of fright from Mei Yan since Ah Chun did not say anything before dragging her a few hundred meters into the air.

Beside the mountain was a dense jungle. Ah Chun could not even see the ground through the treetops. But the sounds of many demonic beasts could be heard all around. Ah Chun sent out her divine sense to see if there was anything in range that might seem out of place as she flew towards the mountain. 

"Hmm? There seems to be something strange little ways up the mountain. Senior Sister Yan we will be flying up a bit higher!" Ah Chun said as she sped up. Mei Yan was in tears, she did not want to go but she was already in the air so there was nothing she could do but be dragged along by this vicious junior sister of hers!

They were half way up the mountain when Ah Chun discovered a ledge protruding out the side. She quickly sped up and gently landed on the ledge with Mei Yan basically smashing into the ground. Ah Chun looked down at Mei Yan and shook her head. "Senior Sister Yan. You need to be careful." Mei Yan had nothing but grievances with Ah Chun's words. 'It's not like I wanted to crash into the ground! You did not give me any warning before landing!' Ah Chun only smiled and walked towards the cave in front of her. She probed it a bit with her divine sense and a big smile formed on her face. "Seems we are in luck! The back of this cave has an array setup to hide an entrance. It might be an ancient array at that! Senior Sister let's go check it out!" 

Mei Yan was still dusting herself off and trying to adjust herself. When she heard Ah Chun's words she wanted to shout out that she was being bullied. Her Junior sister was dragging her to her death! But when she remembered the words Ah Chun had said earlier, Mei Yan knew that Ah Chun was right. She had no courage. If she wanted to gain some benefits she needed to toughen herself up a bit. Mei Yan clenched her fist mustered up her courage and walked forward to follow Ah Chun into the cave. 

"Senior Sister Yan, have you ever seen this kind of writing before?" Ah Chun asked as she pointed to some writing etched into the wall. 

Mei Yan walked over and looked at the wall. The lines were distinct and seemed to be some kind of written language. She stared at them for a few minutes as she tried to think if she had ever seen this kind of writing before but she was not able to think of any instance where she had. She could only regretfully shake her head.

"Well we might be in luck and this place was left behind by some ancient race!" Ah Chun's eyes sparkled. If this was an ancient race there might be a way to raise her strength quicker! Ah Chun really wanted to curse this world's cultivation path. There were so many more realms of cultivation in this world compared to her last. It was as if the heavens really wanted her to struggle! Although she was stronger than her current realm she still had six realms to go before making it to the immortal realm. 

Mei Yan was not so happy about this. She had a feeling that they might be walking right into danger. If this was truly some unnamed ancient race, wouldn't that mean they were walking through death's door? "Junior Sister how about we.."

"Got it! Okay! Let's go!" Ah Chun interrupted Mei Yan's words when she grabbed Mei Yan's hand and pulled her through the door that appeared after Ah Chun bypassed the array. Mei Yan let out a pitiful cry before disappearing through the door.
