After leaving this natural formation, they all breathed a sigh of relief!

Because they knew they had passed another test...

At this moment, they knew they had already walked half the distance.

A little further, and they would be completely out of this Dark Forest...

Of course, even while knowing they were about to exit, they still did not relax.

Because they knew the road ahead could hardly be smooth sailing.

Five minutes later, Xiaobei and the others stopped here, looking ahead...

The reason for stopping was that four identical caves appeared before them...

In front of the caves stood a huge stone tablet inscribed with the words 'Regretless Cave'...

"What is this Regretless Cave? Does anyone know?"

After taking a closer look, Xiaobei asked curiously.

The reason for asking like this was that Xiaobei truly had no idea what they were...

The Lin Family Head had also never mentioned anything about them to Xiaobei...

Hearing Xiaobei's inquiry, they exchanged glances, and quickly, they all shook their heads in unison...

Previously, they had investigated a lot of information about The Valley of the Wicked, but they truly hadn't heard of this Regretless Cave.

"Then let's take a closer look to see what the situation is!"

After saying this, Xiaobei walked forward, and the three of them took a deep breath and quickly followed...

Xiaobei and the others quickly discovered that these caves were indeed identical...

The inside of the caves appeared pitch black, completely obscuring any view of what was inside...

Even using True Qi to sense, they could only tell that the caves were very deep, but had no sense of just how deep...

"Any findings?"

"No, just that it feels very eerie!"

"Same here!"

Hearing their responses, Xiaobei said calmly, "From the literal meaning of 'Regretless Cave,' it implies that we absolutely cannot regret! So, once inside, we should proceed without looking back."

"Yes!"

They had also guessed this earlier, so at this moment, they nodded lightly...

Seeing that they all guessed it, Xiaobei continued, "There are a total of four caves here, which means this time we have to split up!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them fell silent!

They had guessed this earlier as well.

Honestly, if they didn't have to, they really didn't want to part with Xiaobei, because they knew Xiaobei's capabilities, and being around Xiaobei made them feel more confident.

Seeing their silence, Xiaobei knew what they were thinking now.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Xiaobei spoke somewhat hoarsely, "I know you want to stay with me, but it is not possible now, so let's just split up straight away! I believe that the people from The Valley of the Wicked are unlikely to go to the extremes, so although we are taking different paths, we should all have a chance of survival."

"Hmm!"

They took a deep breath and nodded slowly!

They knew that they had to split up now, so there was really no point in fretting over it...

...

"You choose first!"

Seeing that they agreed, Xiaobei spoke softly.

Soon, Xiaobei watched them walk into the caves labeled 1, 2, and 3...

After they completely disappeared, Xiaobei also stepped toward the 4th cave...

Before entering, Xiaobei glanced at the other three completely sealed caves and said, "I hope you all stay safe!"

After saying this, Xiaobei quickly walked in...

The moment he entered, Xiaobei felt that he had arrived at some mysterious place...

Here, all of Xiaobei's senses were gradually lost...

"This..."

Xiaobei was shocked...

Soon, he realized he was surrounded by a frozen pond...

And he was a stone soaked in the pond's cold water...

One year, two years, five years, ten years, a hundred years...

The stone into which Xiaobei had transformed endlessly watched sunsets and sunrises, witnessing the changing of times...

Gradually, a tinge of regret began to grow in Xiaobei's heart...

"If I hadn't chosen to come in back then, none of this would be happening, it's all my fault, all my fault, all my fault..."

This feeling of regret gradually grew more, gradually occupying Xiaobei's entire heart...

...

"No! I am the leader, I must come in! If not, what would happen to those I need to protect?"

In that moment as his whole heart was taken over, Nine Wood True Qi began to circulate rapidly...

In that instant, Xiaobei suddenly regained a glimmer of clarity, and in the next second, Xiaobei snapped back to consciousness...

With that, Xiaobei dispelled all the regretful emotions...

After doing this, Xiaobei felt everything around him rapidly disappearing...

In the next second, Xiaobei opened his eyes, finding himself in a sunlit place...

All around were the joyful sounds of birds singing...

"This... what place is this?"

Muttering like this, Xiaobei turned around, only then noticing that not far behind was the Dark Forest.

In that instant, he knew he had left the Dark Forest.

"This means, the Regretless Cave, I guess I passed it!"

Muttering like this, Xiaobei thought of the other three, quickly turning his head, only to realize he was all alone here!

"Looking at it this way, they haven't passed yet!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiaobei quietly waited here, knowing that he couldn't help even if he wanted to now, so he could only wait here...

Xiaobei knew, as long as they remained confident, they should also be able to pass this challenge...

Thinking this, Xiaobei sat cross-legged...

Ten minutes later, Xiaobei felt some movement and excitedly looked towards the east, seeing Hai Tianshao covered in cold sweat, tensely observing his surroundings...

"This... what place is this?"

Hearing this slightly terrified inquiry, Xiaobei smiled and said, "It's okay, everything is okay, this is outside the Dark Forest, you passed the test!"

Hearing a voice, the startled Hai Tianshao panickedly asked back, "Leader, really... is it really you? Did I... did I truly pass the test?"

Hearing such a fearful inquiry, Xiaobei immediately knew that he had indeed been greatly frightened before.

With this in mind, Xiaobei gently comforted him, "Yes! You truly passed the test!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

"It seems that the test was truly terrifying!"

"Yes, it was indeed very terrifying, I dare not recall it now!"

"Then don't recall it, you're the second one to come out besides me, rest for a bit, let's wait for the other two!"

"Alright!"

Agreeing, Hai Tianshao laid on the ground without caring about his image, and seeing this, Xiaobei knew he had gone through a lot!

Perhaps he had experienced things much more terrifying than himself...

In the following half-hour, Zheng Long and Qu Yan came out one after another, appearing even more disheveled than Hai Tianshao...

Of course, even with this, they passed the test...

"Rest well, ten minutes later, we're moving out!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing, they quickly rested...

At this moment, none of them intended to talk about their previous experiences, and Xiaobei didn't inquire either; Xiaobei knew, having passed, their inner strength had been fortified, so discussing it or not honestly didn't matter...

...

Ten minutes later, Xiaobei and the others resumed their journey together...

In that moment, they all glanced uniformly at the barren landscape ahead...

Seeing withered grass everywhere, they frowned...

"This Valley of the Wicked truly is an abandoned place!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing their judgment of the Valley of the Wicked, Xiaobei waved his hand...

"Alright, what the Valley of the Wicked is like doesn't really concern us, we aren't here for a sightseeing tour, let's move on!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing their agreement, Xiaobei raised his hand pointing into the distance, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that ahead should be the Outer Valley of the Valley of the Wicked!"

Hearing Xiaobei's inquiry, they looked into the distance, discovering a very large valley over there...

At that moment, gale winds were howling through.

Observing the gorge corroded by the winds,

"That Valley of the Wicked is indeed a forsaken place!"

"Yes, it sure is!"

Hearing their judgment about the Valley of the Wicked, Xiaobei waved his hand...

"Alright, whatever the Valley of the Wicked is like really doesn't concern us, and we aren't here to judge; we're not really interested in what form their challenges would take..."

After saying that, Xiaobei moved forward with big strides...
