Ah Lang looked at the people around and smiled, "Brother Yi, ti is short, should we set off today?"
Chen Yi naturally wouldn’t refuse, nodding, "Alright, the earlier we reach the secret realm, the sooner we can understand its conditions."
Although Zhao Muzi and others are in Xunwang Heaven, and are not unfamiliar with the Tianpeng Secret Realm, they still need to explore it, and getting to know more about it in advance is beneficial for preparation.
After all, Chen Yi, being one of the few who ventured into the secret realm from Xunwang Heaven, possessed the highest cultivation and strength, thus bearing a heavier burden.
Yang Li heard this, his smile fading slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"Once we part today, who knows when we’ll et again."
"Mr. Yang, why so sentintal today? I’ve never seen you like this in our previous farewells."
Ah Lang teased, then continued, "But indeed, this ti is different from the previous ones."
"Before, I would go to so dangerous secret realms within realms where few people visited to cultivate, but this ti, I’m going to confront so ancient monsters and prodigies, and there might be so danger ahead."
At this point, Ah Lang paused, looking at Chen Yi while blinking with a smile:
"Luckily, with Brother Yi around, there’s so assurance in delving into that secret realm."
Yang Li nodded, bumped fists with him, and without being overly sentintal, said:
"Then, let’s part ways here."
"I’m heading to Blade Valley now, hoping that by the ti you return, I will have achieved significant progress."
"You surely will."
Chen Yi and Ah Lang cupped their hands in farewell and watched him enter Blade Valley.
Chen Yi didn’t feel much, after all, he had only just t Yang Li.
Ah Lang, however, was deeply moved, sighing after seeing Yang Li disappear into Blade Valley:
"Mr. Yang has been exploring Taizhou Mountain for thirty years, nearly twenty years earlier than ."
"But his cultivation and divine skills have only progressed from the Second Realm of Divine Power to the Fourth Realm over these thirty years, and his cultivation has only reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Human Realm; the process was arduous indeed."
As he spoke, Ah Lang looked to Chen Yi beside him, "Sotis I wonder, why do we cultivators strive so hard to elevate our cultivation?"
Chen Yi paused, he hadn’t really thought about this question.
But it wasn’t that he had never thought about it before.
He rembered when he first learned of Zhou Mountain Battlefield while at the Grand Void Sect; he thought—soday, he must stand atop that mountain and see the view from the summit.
Looking back now, Chen Yi still has that desire.
"Perhaps it’s to climb to the highest peak of this Taizhou Mountain."
Ah Lang, upon hearing this, showed a peculiar expression and said, "Brother Yi, that goal is sowhat modest."
"Hmm?"
"I’ve been to the summit of Taizhou Mountain, and besides seeing scattered realms below, there’s nothing special about it."
Chen Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Maybe so."
"People are always interested in the unknown, and the summit of Taizhou Mountain is one of those."
"The ’Heaven and Earth Bridge’ counts as one, and so does the Netherworld River that’s been present since ancient tis."
"If one day my strength permits, I’d like to uncover the secrets of the ’Heaven and Earth Bridge,’ and attempt to reach the Netherworld River, heading toward the ’other shore’ as ntioned by the Eighth Prince."
Speaking of this, Chen Yi’s mind stirred a bit.
He thought of the next divine power technique he needed to cultivate—one that could deal with the ghosts of the Netherworld River.
He recalled Second Master previously ntioned that Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism all have special techniques against ghosts, as does the Sword Dao.
If he intended to explore the Netherworld River soday, cultivating such techniques might be necessary.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry yet.
After the secret realm journey, he would assess his gains and then cultivate.
Afterward, Chen Yi wandered around Golden Wind Street with Ah Lang, bought so elixirs, array plates, and other useful things, then set off for the Weak Water Realm.
"Earlier, I contacted Qing Feng and others, and they should be setting off soon."
"I estimate that in a maximum of two days, they’ll reach outside the Weak Water Realm."
Upon hearing Ah Lang’s words, Chen Yi smiled and asked, "What about us?"
"If all goes smoothly, it shouldn’t take more than five days. If we encounter so unexpected situations, we should still arrive within ten days."
Five to ten days should be manageable.
Thinking this, Chen Yi maintained a calm mindset and left Golden Wind Street with Ah Lang, stepping onto a winding and long staircase.
It must be said that the interior of Taizhou Mountain indeed holds so uniqueness.
Many places, once entered, would block heart spirit perception, making it impossible to detect the external conditions.
This is true within realms, in Blade Valley, and currently on the long staircase from Golden Wind Street.
anwhile, as Chen Yi and Ah Lang climbed Taizhou Mountain towards the Weak Water Realm.
Suddenly, on Golden Wind Street, a few beings wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats arrived at the base of the long staircase.
Their statures varied.
So were as tall as two zhang, while others were very short, only three chi.
Upon arriving, their eyes all looked up along the staircase.
The leading figure spoke hoarsely, "Is it him, Sword Cultivator Chen Yi, who possesses the Ancient Divine Beast Azure Dragon and is favored by the Xun Wangtian Ancestor, suspected to be the heir of the Ancient Daoist Court."
The black-robed figure three chi tall beside him replied with an affirmative sound, taking out and unfolding a scroll from his bosom, nodding:
"Big brother, it’s him, the scroll detailed his current swordsmanship and power."
"According to the intelligence, his swordsmanship is currently at the Sixth Realm of Divine Power, and his movent technique divine power is at the Fifth Realm, but with the help of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, he can also wield the divine power to call the wind and summon the rain."
"Moreover, his cultivation is suspected to have broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, capable of exerting prowess akin to the Seventh Realm of Divine Power."
"The Seventh Realm of Divine Power, hehe..."
The leader’s eyes exhibited a trace of cruelty, grinning evilly, "At his age, possessing such cultivation and divine power is indeed extraordinary."
"But he’s clearly forgotten that this is Taizhou Mountain, and relying on this level of power alone to act so unrestrained will lead to significant losses."
Another figure, standing two zhang tall, chuckled, speaking in a muffled voice:
"Big brother is right, such human race Sword Cultivators have limited strength and can’t possibly be your match, big brother."
"However, there’s still the Taoist priest behind him that we, hmm..."
Before he could finish, the leader glared back at him, "Shut your mouth and switch to Sound Transmission."
"Your loud voice implies you want everyone to know our purpose?"
"Oh, sorry big brother, I forgot."
"In any case, we must take him down this ti. If he indeed possesses the legacy of the Ancient Daoist Court, we could swiftly stand on equal grounds at its pinnacle."
The leader cautiously switched to Sound Transmission without saying more.
The three chi tall short individual next to him nodded and smiled emotively while using Sound Transmission:
"Other than us, those evil demons ahead are also aware and are preparing to ambush the various geniuses on the way to the Weak Water Realm."
"If we’re lucky, we might also grab a piece of the pie. Even if luck isn’t on our side... whoever gets him, we can make our move."
The leader’s gaze turned chilling, glancing around at the few people nearby, he coldly said,
"Shut up around this place and just follow. It’s ti to move."
The surrounding black-robed figures started and quickly knelt on one knee, "We obey the master’s command."
Then these black-robed figures began to silently climb the long staircase after the others.
Only the leading black-robed figure remained at the foot of the staircase, looking up at the hazy mountain trail above.
"Didn’t you say before to let stay outside for a bit?"
"You talk too much."
"Hmph, I’m the master of this body too, you know. Haha..."
"Shut up!"
Before the words fell completely, the area around them had beco eerily silent.
Only wisps of bright red aura lingered, dissipating like smoke.
