Chapter 549: Chapter 319: Arrival and Test Operation_3

If it weren’t for the fact that he had serious matters to attend to now, he might have actually challenged Chen Sheng directly.

As for the matter about Or, Li Wuji had already informed Chen Sheng about it.

He had no interest in engaging in a friendly competition with the other party and didn’t want to stand here being stared at by a burly man.

So Chen Sheng took the initiative to ask Li Wuji.

This doubt was also his first question when he was previously invited to participate in the operation.

However, at that time, Chen Sheng was practicing at a critical moment and couldn’t get away, so he didn’t ask too many questions.

It wasn’t until today that he finally brought it up.

As for this question, Li Wuji seemed to have anticipated it long ago.

He showed a reminiscent expression and slowly began to speak.

“Actually, we’ve tried it before.”

“But it wasn’t me who was tested, it was the master who introduced me to the martial arts world.”

“He was a scholar, and at the same time, he possessed extraordinary martial arts talent.”

“It was also under his influence that I later visited various parts of the world, searching for information about Heavenly People.”

Li Wuji spoke softly.

Or and Rhein, who were next to him, couldn’t help being attracted by the contents of his speech.

Looking at the faces of the two, they didn’t seem to be clear about the answer to this question either.

“That was about sixty years ago.”

“At that time, my master went to a neighboring country and started to investigate matters about Heavenly People. He inadvertently found a Heavenly Person Sealed Land.”

“That was the only Heavenly Person Sealed Land discovered far away from human habitation in hundreds of the recorded years.”

“I’m not exactly sure about the specific process.”

“But when my master contacted me later, he told me that he was about to conduct an experiment, an experiment that could help humans take a great stride forward in their battle against Heavenly People.”

“And then, on the second day…”

At this point.

Li Wuji retracted his gaze looking far away.

He looked at the three people.

“That’s when the unprecedented explosion that shocked the world occurred.”

Upon hearing this.

Chen Sheng and the two others were momentarily stunned.

Then they quickly reacted.

Sixty years ago,

There occurred an unprecedented explosion in the place Li Wuji mentioned.

The explosion destroyed a dense forest that stretched across thousands of kilometers and left a massive crater several kilometers in diameter at the center of the explosion.

That was the largest explosion in human history with the widest reach.

To this day, there is still no clear statement confirming the cause of the explosion.

The most credible reason is the impact of meteorites.

But now, listening to Li Wuji, it turns out that it was caused by his master’s experiment in the Heavenly Person Sealed Land?

“Yes.”

Watching the expressions of the three, Li Wuji nodded slightly.

“I don’t know what exactly my master did to cause such serious consequences.”

“But at least he told me not to try to study Heavenly People.”

“If that explosion happened near human habitation area, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.”

“Unless we were at a point where we had no choice but to act.”

“Or to say, we found the second location – a Heavenly Person residence far enough from human habitation.”

“Which is here and now.”

Li Wuji pointed at the deep pit in front of him.

Seeing that Chen Sheng and the two others didn’t show any signs of fear or retreat.

He smiled, with a touch of relief in his eyes.

“To be honest, I had been mentally prepared for a long time before I came.”

“If any of you need some time to get mentally prepared, I won’t mind.”

“I’m fine.”

That was Chen Sheng’s reply.

His expression remained calm.

“President Li, you can rest assured.”

“I have good reason to believe that my luck won’t be that bad.”

That was Or’s reply.

The Church Knight showed his two rows of white teeth and smiled brighter than ever before.

“My personality data has already been backed up.”

“Even if I die today, I can be revived tomorrow.”

That was Rhein’s reply.

The indifference to life and death filled his tone.

“In that case…”

Li Wuji looked up and saw that the transcendent beings who had left were gradually turning into black dots at the end of their vision.

If the same scale of explosion were to happen again,

These people might not be able to escape unscathed.

So,

As Or had said,

This journey,

Indeed, required some luck.

Li Wuji retracted his gaze and looked at the deep pit in front of him.

His expression gradually became determined.

“Let’s set off.”

“I hope we won’t end up repeating the same mistake.”
