On the desolate path, a group of five people were walking back and forth silently. However, they gave off a sense of pressure.

This was the village that he and Mu Xuan grew up in, the four people with the best talent, Wu Ling.

Wang Sha and the others felt that Mu Xuan was acting strangely today, so they didn't dare to get too close. They were afraid that something might happen and didn't want to take the risk.

But this is only if, and there are no such things in life, only facts.

As such, he felt a little inferior to himself!

Fortunately, the more pain one endured, the more intelligent one would be. One would pretend to not hear the mockery and ridicule of others. Furthermore, one would keep a low profile and be extremely arrogant. It was not something that ordinary people could compare with.

His experiences had made him more resilient, able to bend and stretch. He saw everything more clearly than anyone else. Sometimes, even his parents were not as good as him.

Longer pain is less painful than shorter pain.

Mu Xuan was prepared to spend the rest of his life in the forest, feeding his broken body to the wolves to nourish the earth.

Ever since he could remember, he had suffered too much pain that others couldn't even imagine. Gradually, he began to dislike it too.

If he died, his parents wouldn't have to work so hard for him, and they would be able to go farther and have a higher opinion of him.

Although he was very young, he knew that if it wasn't for him, no matter if it was his father or mother, they wouldn't be at this cultivation level and they would definitely be Grandmasters.

Once when he was eavesdropping on his parents' conversation, he found out that his father's cultivation was originally much higher than it was now! It was all because of some unforeseen event that had caused his father so much pain that he had no way of knowing what had happened.

It was precisely because his cultivation had dropped that Mu Hong didn't go out at all. He played the role of a good father all day, making his mother play the role of a mother to him.

Seeing his parents work so hard all day, he felt even worse. The pain in his body was even more unbearable than the pain in his body.

His parents told him that he was injured when he was young and needed suppression when his injuries flared up; or he could take the initiative to heal himself. Once his injuries recovered, he would be able to train like a normal person.

But in fact, it was him who received the curse, and it was also one of the three great Curses of the world, the Soul Sealing Curse!

The person who placed the curse on him was a peak expert who had used his life to do so. Ordinary people would not be able to remove it at all, and only experts two ranks above that person would be able to remove the curse.

The Soul Sealing Curse, as its name implies, was meant to stop a person from cultivating. If the curse is not removed before it is fully activated, then they will never be able to cultivate it. No matter how hard they try, they will only be able to stop at the Qi Disciple stage for the rest of their lives.

However, Mu Xuan's gaze didn't stop at a remote mountain village. He knew that a person who couldn't cultivate could only become a silent and useless mediocre and be ridiculed by the world.

When the curse erupted, the pain was not something an ordinary person could endure. No outsiders would ever be able to think of such a thing.

It was a torture worse than death. If Mu Hong and the others weren't well-prepared, they could have helped him reduce and suppress most of the pain he felt. Furthermore, he had to endure it since he was young to be able to withstand the might of the curse.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have long since been unable to endure this kind of pain, let alone those ignorant people who mocked and ridiculed them.

Most importantly, even though the cursed person was able to cultivate before the curse was fully unleashed, it was still extremely difficult. It could be said that with the same talent, the same resources, and the same amount of time and effort, the result would only be 1% of a normal person's.

From this, it could be seen how difficult it was for Mu Xuan to attain Qi Disciple level 2.

The cruel reality made Mu Xuan tired. He didn't want his parents to continue to work hard for him. He didn't want to suffer the ridicule and pain.

No matter how strong one was, one would be tired; no matter how tough one's heart was, one would be tired; no matter how firm one's conviction was, it would be erased; no matter how difficult the road was, there would still be a time when one would be exhausted.

When he was tired, he needed to rest. Therefore, Mu Xuan chose to rest. It was the kind of rest where there was no more pain, no ridicule, no disputes, and no distress.

He thought back to more than ten years ago. He didn't even know where he had come from, so where did he come from? Why was he cursed? Why did he have to hide in this remote mountain village?

His parents had never told him about this. Ever since he could remember, he had lived in that nameless mountain village.

However, from time to time, he would visit someone in the Immortal Ancient Village that was a hundred kilometers away. His parents respected those people, and he knew that he was cursed.

He didn't know anything else. Even if he asked his parents, they wouldn't tell him. They only told him to be strong and tell him in the future.

Those elder brothers and sisters didn't tell him anything; as for those elders, his parents didn't allow him to see them at all.

This made Mu Xuan even more curious. However, that was only for the previous Mu Xuan. Now that there was nothing left, he was no longer curious.

All these years, in order to not worry about his parents, he had always been strong. The pain in his body would only be known to his parents unless it was unbearable and they would only help him when he fainted.

None of this was important now. He was already determined to die, and if Wu Ling and the others followed, he could have them send a message. That way, he would be able to leave in peace.

Otherwise, he would have scolded them long ago. His cultivation base was not high, but he had a powerful father. Among the three hundred people in the mountain village, there was no one that he did not dare scold! This was also his pride, even though he was usually a bit cowardly.

As they walked, Mu Xuan realized that they had reached the Immortal Ancient Forest. If they went further in, they would be people from the mountain village. They had never been there before.

"Mu Xuan!" You cannot go any further. The Immortal Ancient Forest is very dangerous! "

Ding Yuan, who had been trying to find trouble with Mu Xuan, also shouted nervously, "Mu Xuan! I won't cause you any more trouble. Stop right now and don't go any further! It's really dangerous up ahead! " The teenagers stayed in the deepest part of the cave and shouted to Mu Xuan, who was still walking.

However, Mu Xuan ignored them as if he hadn't heard them, but his heart was still warm. At least he knew that they still cared about him.

Mu Xuan's disregard made them nervous. The Immortal Ancient Forest was not something they could enter, and Mu Hong had often reminded them that there were powerful demonic beasts in the forest. Even if he went in, he could only move around cautiously.

The Immortal Ancient Forest was as its name implied. There were all sorts of ancient trees, and it was very lonely. In the eyes of everyone in the village, it was a very mysterious existence. More importantly, there were all kinds of demonic beasts living in the Immortal Ancient Forest!

As Mu Xuan continued to walk towards the forest, he started to get anxious.

"No!" We're going to stop him! Further up the mountain, even father and the others have not been there yet. I heard from Uncle Mu that there are demon beasts lurking around and that there are equivalent to Spiritual Movement Stage experts in the periphery. They are not people that we can handle! "

"Hm!" All of you go and stop him, I'll go back and find Uncle Mu! "

"Wang Sha!" You're afraid of death! They will only flee before the battle! "

"That's not it. Brother Wang Sha probably can't handle it. If we go in, we'll be in danger. We can only go find Uncle Mu."

They all looked at Wu Ling and joked, "Looks like we, Wu Ling, are not stupid!" Alright, let's do it! "Let's go stop Mu Xuan, Wang Sha, you have the highest cultivation and the fastest speed, let's go find Uncle Mu!"

"En!"

After they had reached an agreement, they started to move in unison. However, Mu Xuan was no longer there.

They gritted their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do about it. Although they disliked Mu Xuan on normal occasions, they were just dissatisfied with him. They were actually quite considerate of him, so they gritted their teeth and chased after him.

Wang Sha rushed towards the mountain village as fast as he could. However, he was already a long way away and would not be able to return in a short while. Mu Xuan's safety could only be determined by the group of four.

Just when they were disappointed, the forest became restless.

"Roar!"

A sound that was like a beast's roar startled them.
