"Since it's no use trying to run away, we can go back to the top of the mountain and resume your training."
"Back up the mountain?"
Raising his head to look at how high the mountain he climbed down from was, Jian Shen directly shook his head and rejected the idea.
He had started making his way down the mountain during last night, and it took him almost a whole day to climb down.
So going back up, was completely out of the question.
Not to mention, Jian Shen who hadn't rested in such a long time was craving a proper meal and sleep.
It wasn't as if anyone could blame Jian Shen, either. Because, even though he had taken his first step on the Path of Sword, Jian Shen was in fact, a completely ordinary mortal with no zero Qi inside him.
If not for his body which was stronger and had more stamina than the average human, Jian Shen wouldn't have even been able to make his way down such a tall mountain.
"There's no way, I'm going back up the mountain, Qingyu. I'd rather stay here, and walk out of the forest tomorrow."
"I don't think you understand the situation you are in, Jian Shen. If not for me and that stalker releasing so much pressure, you would've been dead already."
"What?"
As Jian Shen exclaimed in surprise, Juewang spoke in a knowing tone.
"As expected, you don't where we are at, right husband?"
Once Jian Shen nodded his head, Juewang scowled at Qingyu.
"How could you bring him to such a dangerous place, and not even inform him about it? What would you have done, if you died and he was forced to stay here all alone?!!"
"Humph! I planned to tell Jian Shen about where we were, and how strong he should be if he wanted to leave, before I die. It's just that many unexpected things happened, and I didn't get the chance to let him know."
"Tsk, all you know is to make excuses. I'll tell him, myself."
"No! I'll be the one who tells him!"
"Forget it, defective sword. I'll take care of it."
"What did you say, crazy stalker? Have you forgo..."
Guessing that there wouldn't be an end to their bickering, Jian Shen interrupted them.
"Ummm... Could someone tell me where we are at?"
Taking the opportunity, Qingyu began hastily explaining before Juewang could say anything.
"We are inside the infamous Endless Forest."
Hearing the words Endless Forest, Jian Shen unconsciously took a step back and got closer to the mountain with the intention to climb back up.
Because, that's how scary the place he was at right now.
Jian Shen didn't know a lot about the Endless Forest, but he had heard so many rumours about it during his childhood that it had almost scarred him forever.
Gulping hard, Jian Shen's eyes darted from one place to another with great vigilance.
"Are.... Are we really inside the Endless Forest?"
"Yes, husband. That defective sword brought you to the Endless Forest. But don't worry, we are quite close to the forest's edge. And if you want to leave, it wouldn't take us a long time to get out of here."
Before Jian Shen could say anything, Qingyu interrupted his thoughts and said, "I suggest you don't leave the Endless Forest, Jian Shen. Instead, it would be better for you to travel through it, and walk out from the other side of it."
"What?!"
"I agree with the broken sword, husband. This would be a very great opportunity for you to train, and improve your strength."
Listening to the two swords, Jian Shen began doubting if the two of them were crazy or wanted to kill him.
It was quite understandable why Jian Shen would think like this. After all, the Endless Forest was a place that no one in the Mortal Realm would dare venture in easily.
As the name suggested, The Endless Forest wasn't something which stretched on for eternity, or was like a maze which one couldn't walk out of.
Instead, it was a forest which would feel endless because of how hard it was to leave once anyone stepped inside it.
After all, the entire forest was riddled with ferocious Spirit Beasts from all sides. With the beasts only growing stronger, the deeper you went inside.
As for going to or through the centre of it, not even the strongest ones would think about it, because deep within the Endless Forest existed so many dangerous beasts that anyone who had seen them, didn't live to tell about.
It was due to this, that even though there were many rare treasures and miraculous herbs inside the Endless Forest, very few humans dared to enter it.
"Don't worry too much husband, as long as I release my complete aura, not a single beast would try and come close to us."
"Training here, is definitely a good place for you, Jian Shen. Because even though you have a lot of talent in cultivation and your comprehension abilities are heaven defying, you lack a lot of combat experience. And the beasts here are best to help sharpen your skills."
Turning silent after hearing their explanations, Jian Shen began seriously thinking about it.
It wasn't as if Qingyu and Juewang seemed like the kind that would want to hurt him, so it was most likely for his good that they were trying to convince him.
"Fine. But can we start training tomorrow? I'm exhausted!"
