Chapter 2414: Chapter 2415: A Hand

"I want to go too!"

Watching Chen Lin speeding toward the distance, the petite figure of Meng Shan emerged from behind Sun Tianming, looking somewhat anxious as she began to run forward, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

But she hadn’t run far before Sun Tianming grabbed her, catching hold of the fabric on her neck.

"What are you going for? Shouting and crying will only make the situation more chaotic."

Being seized by Sun Tianming, Meng Shan bit her lips, seeming a bit unwilling, but then she lowered her head and clenched her delicate fists.

"There are elders and the Sect Master guarding there now. If you go, even if Lin Chen really faces any danger, you won’t have any crucial role to play. It’s better to stay here with us than to... create chaos."

Sun Tianming paused when he said the last two words, but eventually, he uttered these slightly hurtful words.

After all, in this mystical realm, power is the fundamental basis for everything. This is the sole rule, no matter where you are.

Although Meng Shan is still young, she is a cultivator, and she will have to understand these rules sooner or later.

However, what Sun Tianming didn’t know was that Meng Shan had long understood these things, having experienced the annihilation of her entire village; how could she not grasp the underlying principles?

She kept this hidden in her heart because she didn’t want people to pity her, especially since meeting Lin Chen and Chen Jie and others, who, while not family, shared the warmth of family.

But Sun Tianming’s words brought out the emotions Meng Shan had hidden deep within her heart.

Back then, due to a lack of strength, she hid in the village’s wine cellar, and when she finally emerged, it was already a pile of ruins.

Now, Meng Shan had become a cultivator, yet she still lacked the power to protect what she wished to protect. This made her feel incredibly dejected, and strands of frustration rose within her.

It wasn’t long before Meng Shan quickly recovered, hanging her head while using her sleeve to wipe away the scorching tears at the corner of her eyes.

Then she lifted her head, her eyes still damp with tears, looking at Sun Tianming, saying, "I’m fine, Brother Sun, I’m just a bit too worried. I understand what you mean, I won’t mess around anymore."

After saying this, Meng Shan stepped aside to find a quieter place, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate amidst such an atmosphere.

"I’m still not trying hard enough!"

Meng Shan bit her lips, a hint of reddish blood seeped from the corner, mingling with a sharp taste as it entered her throat, making her shiver involuntarily.

Seeing her like this, Sun Tianming was taken aback, thinking Meng Shan would at least make a fuss. Unexpectedly, after his persuasion, Meng Shan obediently returned and even began cultivating right here...

"It’s too harsh on her," Chen Jie said with concern.

"Such is life; she has to grow up," Sun Tianming sighed lightly.

...

In the vast openness of the distance, Lin Chen, Liu Qinghan, and others were all gazing at that full moon.

At this moment, as the word "death" was spoken, the full moon began to show some changes.

Originally, this full moon was meant to suppress the restrictions on the round staff, chosen at such a time, but now, it seemed the moon was not having much effect, instead becoming Pan Hao’s final tactic.

Under the gaze of Lin Chen and others, the scene in the distance changed.

In the center of the full moon, a slit appeared, breaking open, revealing a round opening.

The opening slowly grew larger, unveiling a pitch-black scene.

This scene differed from a regular night sky; the blackness was more intense, and what’s even more terrifying is that it seemed to contain immense power.

This force erupted through the round opening, rushing toward those below who were watching.

"What kind of power is this?"

Even Lin Chen felt a slight tremble in his heart under the pressure, his pupils showing a hint of dread as he gazed up at the sky.

Just sensing this aura made Lin Chen feel it was difficult to bear, with his already injured body feeling fragile.

Not only Lin Chen, but Liu Qinghan, as the strongest in the sect, had his cultivation suddenly elevated, yet the profound power given by his master was equally immense. His cultivation was robust.

However, facing such pressure, he barely had the courage to resist, like a small mouse, only trying to evade after seeing a cat, its natural enemy.

Even he felt this way, let alone the elders beside him. They lacked the courage to even lift their heads to watch further.

During this time, the only person whose expression didn’t change was the fat man; he stood there calmly as if unaffected by the events around him.

He continued eating his food, all the while keeping his eyes fixed on Lin Chen, evidently carrying out Liu Qinghan’s previous instructions.

Boom!

Suddenly, a sound reverberated, a fierce wind arose. Amidst this wind, something seemed about to break out of the opening in the celestial dome where the round moon’s slit lay!

This drew everyone’s attention, each looking toward it, including the newly arrived Chen Lin. The scene had shocked them deeply, as even their experience hadn’t witnessed such an extraordinary spectacle.

As many gazes were drawn in, indeed, from that opening, something emerged.

More precisely, five slender objects extended from the opening in the moon, slowly protruding, as if stepping out from the void.

Its color was like human skin, and after a moment, someone shouted, "It’s a hand!"

This statement made their eyes focus once more.

"A hand? Whose hand?"

This raised enormous questions in their hearts, and with startled gazes, the sky changed dramatically again!
