Then, an invisible and terrifying worldly aura enveloped the heavens and the earth.
The impossibly profound and densely packed inscriptions of the array etched upon the square suddenly erupted in a brilliant light.
As a majestic and heavy power was unleashed,
space itself began to twist and distort,
finally forming a massive void vortex in midair!
"Disciples, enter at once!
As the array activated and the void vortex emerged,
the white-robed elder, wreathed in a hazy glow and exuding a formidable might, spoke with a majestic voice that echoed across the world.
In the next instant,
hundreds of streaks of Escape Light shot from the square straight into the massive void vortex like a meteor shower!
Gu Yun, too, transformed into a bolt of lightning. Like a clap of thunder tearing through the sky, he shot into the spatial vortex at incredible speed!
...
「Tongmu Secret Realm」
Gu Yun stood suspended in the air.
His robes fluttered in the wind.
His profound gaze swept over the vast, verdant sea of trees before him.
Countless ancient trees, each thousands of meters tall, towered over the land.
Winding vines as thick as a man’s arm were rooted deep in the soil.
Patches of vibrant Spirit Grass covered the ground, overflowing with incredibly dense Spiritual Qi and life force.
A single breath was enough to feel his entire body being steeped in Spiritual Qi rich with vitality, making him feel utterly refreshed.
’Fuck, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is so damn rich! I feel like this little dragon has already reached the pinnacle of his life!’
’Boss,
where are we?
Where are we headed?’
The voice of the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon, which had been slumbering deep within him since that last battle, suddenly rang out in Gu Yun’s mind.
"Fuck, you’re finally awake.
I thought you were never going to wake up again!"
Gu Yun replied to the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon using his Spiritual Sense.
’Hm?
Boss, what do you mean by that?
This little dragon just took a little nap, that’s all.
What’s all this about never waking up?’
"In that case,
you can come out and get to work!"
’Ah?! But that’s not...’
Before the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon could finish,
suddenly,
"Hm?!"
Gu Yun’s brow furrowed slightly.
He saw the giant vines entwined on the towering ancient trees below suddenly surge.
Vine after vine, each as thick as a water bucket, pierced through the air, creating a powerful whistling sound.
They shot toward Gu Yun, covering the sky!
’This Secret Realm...’
’...is not as peaceful as it looks.’
Gu Yun’s True Yuan, vast as the deep sea, suddenly erupted.
A terrifying, majestic aura surged in all directions like a cataclysmic flood.
The very air began to tremble.
"Perish!"
With a soft word from Gu Yun,
terrifying bolts of Thunder and lightning erupted in the surrounding space.
They let out a great RUMBLE, tearing through the void and emitting a blinding light!
In the next instant,
a sky full of Thunder and lightning shot through the air, blasting down on the attacking vines from all sides!
BANG!!
When the terrifying, tyrannical lightning crashed into the sky-blotting, arm-thick vines,
it instantly tore them to shreds, annihilating them in midair!
Afterward, the vines seemed to realize their opponent was not to be trifled with. As if sentient, they fell silent within the vibrant Tongmu Secret Realm.
Just then,
the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon shot out of Gu Yun’s body and into the sky.
Its massive body, thousands of feet long, was a deep, pitch-black. It was covered in layers of scales, with two horns on its head, and its enormous Flood Dragon eyes gleamed.
The pressure emanating from the Flood Dragon was staggering.
’Boss, let’s go!’
Hearing this, Gu Yun nodded.
He stepped lightly onto the Flood Dragon’s head. A corner of his robes fluttered though there was no wind, and his profound gaze swept toward the distant horizon.
"Let’s go."
The Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon’s body shot into the sky.
Like a flash of black lightning, it crossed dozens of miles in an instant, moving with incredible speed!
"Xiaoyou, speaking of which... you seemed a little reluctant just now, didn’t you?"
’Boss, what are you talking about?!
This little dragon was just about to say,
this is such a simple task!’
"Is that so?"
The corners of Gu Yun’s mouth curved up slightly.
he asked, his tone laced with doubt.
’Yes, Boss!
This little dragon is absolutely loyal and absolutely diligent.’
The Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon blurted this out without a moment’s hesitation,
as if a second’s delay would have been a sin.
...
White clouds drifted across the vast sky.
Below, endless mountain ranges undulated like massive waves on a boundless ocean. They rolled on, one after another, a truly stunning sight!
Upon these turbulent, wave-like mountains grew a lush expanse of enormous, towering ancient trees.
High in the air,
Gu Yun stood atop the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon’s head.
They flew at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow.
At the same time, he pushed his Spiritual Sense to its limit, spreading it out to cover the surrounding land.
However,
because the very air of this world was saturated with an incredibly dense and majestic life force,
his Spiritual Sense was inevitably suppressed.
Gu Yun’s Spiritual Sense far surpassed that of a True Martial Realm Ninth Layer expert and could normally cover a hundred miles. Here, however, it could only extend for a few dozen miles.
Even so, it was far stronger than what most in the True Martial Realm could manage.
Under the sweep of his powerful Spiritual Sense,
nothing could hide!
...
As they continued to speed through the air,
Gu Yun finally discovered a peculiar location.
"Xiaoyou, southeast."
’You got it, Boss!’
The Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon suddenly accelerated.
Its speed was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the sky,
gone in a flash!
Soon,
Gu Yun and the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon arrived before a massive valley.
Gu Yun’s ink-black eyes gazed down at the valley entrance. The vegetation was so lush it seemed it could swallow the sky.
Below, piles of rubble were covered in pale green moss. Countless arm-thick vines twisted and intertwined, and the sunlight was blotted out by the canopy of the towering ancient trees.
"If my Spiritual Sense is correct,
this must be the place," Gu Yun mused.
’Here? This remote backwater?!’
the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon asked in disbelief.
"Mhm."
"Xiaoyou, go back inside for now."
’You got it!’
At his word, the Ghostly Qilin Profound Flood Dragon vanished back into Gu Yun’s body in the blink of an eye.
It transformed into an imposing Flood Dragon tattoo, etched across his chest and down his left arm.
Gu Yun’s profound gaze fell upon the valley entrance below. With its spreading green moss and twisting ancient vines, it was an extremely well-hidden spot.
If not for his powerful Spiritual Sense, he would have missed it. He had detected a slight spatial fluctuation here that set it apart from its surroundings.
’If I’m not mistaken, there should be a small Spatial Array here.’
’Perhaps it contains an inheritance left by a Sect expert, or maybe some other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It’s impossible to know.’
’Until I go in, everything is an unknown.’
With that in mind,
Gu Yun slowly moved forward to investigate.
Just as he stepped on a seemingly unremarkable stone,
VMMMM!
The air suddenly vibrated, sending out layers of ripples like the surface of water.
The surrounding scenery—the valley, the dense trees, the lush grass—spun wildly in an instant.
In the blink of an eye,
Gu Yun vanished from the valley.
...
「Meanwhile」
Somewhere else in the Tongmu Secret Realm,
"Jiang Cheng!
Hand over the Cyan Jade Crystal Fruit, you bastard!
That’s not something the likes of you can possess!"
A furious roar echoed, accompanied by a great RUMBLE.
The air trembled violently.
Swaths of massive trees collapsed one after another.
Billowing clouds of dust rose, blanketing the sky,
as if the firmament had been dyed a pale yellow.
Jiang Cheng, dressed in a white robe with a resolute expression on his face, sped through the air, a trickle of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.
BANG!!
From behind him, Gong Qing—dressed in tight black clothes with a savage look on his face—suddenly threw a punch. A massive amount of True Yuan converged into a colossal Fist Seal.
It crushed the space before it, the terrifying sound of its power sweeping across the sky like a tsunami as it blasted toward Jiang Cheng!
Feeling the crushing pressure from behind, like a mountain bearing down on him,
Jiang Cheng’s expression grew grim. He gritted his teeth, then took a sudden step, and in an instant, shot hundreds of feet to the left.
He barely dodged the terrifying Fist Seal’s assault!
’Gong Qing, you bastard! You did this to me! Just you wait until I break through to the True Martial Realm Eighth Layer! The first person I’m going to kill is you!’
As Jiang Cheng flew to evade the massive, heavy Fist Seal, a burning rage, like a monstrous beast, rose in his heart.
