Chapter 3987 No Turning Back

Pearson told the Wing King the story of the Regal Jade Spirit in detail.

The Wing King was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "It looks like Dashawn had done a lot of things after we left. It's my fault. We shouldn't have left him behind."

Dashawn enjoyed a status that was almost the same with the Regal Jade Spirit in Zen's body. He was also the core figure of the Regal Jade Civilization and the Wing King's right-hand man.

"Dashawn didn't regret anything or blame you. He just wanted me to tell you everything he had done," Pearson said.

The Wing King nodded and said, "I see. I hope, one day, you can take me to the place where he died."

"Yes, I will!" Pearson said, folding his hands in respect.

He was also a man who valued friendship. He wouldn't otherwise have risked his life to stay with Thurston and Sawyer. Zen and his group were chased all over by all the warriors from other races in the Grand Pure Realm. No other place in the Grand Pure Realm was more dangerous than where he was staying with them.

But there was now something more important to do, which was why they couldn't immediately visit Dashawn's resting place to pay tribute to him.

Whoosh...

More gusts of purple wind swept over them.

The purple wind had completely occupied the space in the middle of the Purple Wind Gorge.

No one knew what kind of method the Wing King had used. He could always find space in the purple wind and dodge it. And no matter how close the purple wind was to him, it could never wrap itself around him.

The Heavenly Eye Vine was also trembling in the Wing King's claws. Thanks to their keen senses, Fuxi, the Snake Goddess, and the others could perceive that this trembling was actually a strange bodily movement technique, which was the secret method to avoid the purple wind.

Zen didn't care about these details. He stared at the purple wind and asked, "There is no purple wind on normal days. What's it like at the bottom of the Purple Wind Gorge?"

"There is a kind of shellfish that is very weak," answered the Wing King. "After taking root at the bottom of the Purple Wind Gorge, they can't move for a lifetime, which is why they lack the means to find food. Fortunately, as creatures of Stage Thirty-three, these shellfish also have a strange theurgy."

"Is the purple wind their bloodline theurgy?" Zen asked.

"Yes," the Wing King continued. "These shellfish release the purple wind, but it's not to seal off the Purple Wind Gorge

way.

There were two rows of inconspicuous fences.

A simple entrance sat in between these two rows of fences.

Zen frowned at this sight. The fences weren't remarkable but Zen should have noticed them. The fact that they hadn't struck him was strange.

"If we had walked through the plain, the only road to the Supreme Pure Realm would be through the entrance between these two rows of fences." The Snake Goddess stretched out her slender fingers and drew a line in the air. "If you don't walk through this road and try to pass through other places on both sides, you will be lost forever in this endless plain."

"Is this illusion that powerful?" Zen raised his eyebrows.

As the Snake Goddess nodded, the Primeval Lord of Heaven's voice rang out in Zen's mind. "This plain is not an illusion!"

"If it weren't an illusion, we could just come out of the plain by retracing our steps. Why would we be lost forever?" Zen asked in his mind.

The Primeval Lord of Heaven chuckled. "Those who enter the plain can no longer turn around. The thoughts of all of the people who enter the plain will change irreversibly and they will lose the ability of turning back."

"Is turning back also a kind of ability?" Zen was speechless.

"Yes, and changing your thoughts doesn't mean modifying your memories. It's by making you not realize you have this ability of turning around, so that you can only move forward permanently. You know something is wrong, but you will never be able to figure out what it is," the Primeval Lord of Heaven explained, shrugging. "This is indeed a miraculous plain. It can suppress the thoughts and logic of all living beings."
