"That's it, then do you know who established this town? And why can it exist so many years? Even though built with Anti-Soul Stones, it will still be attacked by the small ghosts, won't it? Let alone the ghost kings and ghost emperors!" Zhang Yan blurted his another question.
The waiter explained with a smile, "You've come up with two common questions. I only know it was built by a big group of warriors thousands of years ago, and it is said the Lord of the Fengdu City at that time is one of them. They aimed to provide a temporary shelter for warriors in the Huangquan Road."
"As for why it can stand erect till today, think about it, you are now under the protection of the town and won't you contribute yourself to it when it is attacked?"
"Over the years, it has suffered battles many times, but the warriors in it have unitedly gathered to save it every time. And there is an unwritten rule in the city that those who do not take part in the defense fight will be kicked out of the town and never allowed to enter again."
Zhang Yan nodded. Just as the waiter said, when in emergencies, Zhang Yan would definitely devote himself in fighting against enemies. After all, the town offered a lot of convenience and no one wanted it to be ruined.
"I am wondering how many such towns are in the Huangquan Road?" He continued with his doubts.
"I have no idea, for I have never left here since I came in, but I am sure that there must be other ones."
When Zhang Yan was about to pose his next question, several new guests stepped in and the waiter got up at once to serve them. Zhang Yan shook his head, thinking, "No wonder he is in low spirit! He has been here for decades of years, from a teenager to a wrinkly! This kind of life without expectation is really dull!"
Giving up on him, Zhang Yan turned to the Purifying Lotus, "Do you familiar with the town?"
The lotus replied, "No, I'm not. I didn't meet any town when I came here with the Human Emperor. And the Huangquan Road at that time is quite different from nowthere were many creatures once, but now only warriors and ghosts."
"The waiter just mentioned the Life Stone and I remember you've told it to me before that as a unique thing of the Huangquan Road, it can stop warriors from growing older to prolong life, huh?"
"Yes, but once the stone is consumed up, the user will still die out of oldness and become a ghost in the road."
"Is the stone really so magical?" Zhang Yan seemed unbelievable.
"Of course, it is! Then why do you think there are a large number of warriors venturing into the road every year? Most of them aim at it!"
"And not only the dying men need the stone, so do some talented warriors! In the age of the emperors, many geniuses used the stone to avoid being in the same generation as the emperors, because the formers considered themselves not the opponents of the emperors and couldn't surpass them to be immortal. This method is what we called Avoiding the Present Generation."
" Avoiding the Present Generation?" Zhang Yan shook his head with incomprehension. Each generation possessed many very genius warriors and the key to success was courage and confidence, not avoiding!
However, he still became curious about the Life Stone. But now, he could only continue to enjoy the fish, oppressing his curiosity.
