With Luo Cheng’s addition, wave after wave of Corrosive Poison Touch Demon tentacles were shattered, rendering them incapable of posing any threat.
After a few breaths, the water tornado that had been chasing them ca to a halt, and the countless tentacles all shrank back, no longer pursuing.
A mont later, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, revealing a blue sky as clear as if it had been washed. A rainbow arched across the heavens, dreamlike and ethereal.
Everyone’s tense nerves finally eased, and the Three-colored Crane slowed its pace.
The round-faced girl, known as "Xu Junior Sister," walked toward Luo Cheng and thanked him. "Thank you. If it weren’t for you earlier, I fear I might have..."
The eyes of the other two disciples from the Luoxia Sect also flickered with intrigue.
Luo Cheng’s performance earlier was truly astonishing. A casual punch was enough to destroy the tentacles of a Corrosive Poison Touch Demon, exuding an air of effortless grace.
Luo Cheng restrained his aura and coolly said, "It was a re trifle. Since we are traveling together, it is only right to look out for each other."
Upon hearing this, the three female disciples from the Luoxia Sect smiled slightly.
Due to the matter involving Yin Li, they initially harbored so prejudice against Luo Cheng.
But now, their impression of him had improved significantly.
The group exchanged nas, and the previously icy atmosphere beca much livelier.
A mont later, Jin Yuxi’s voice suddenly rang out.
"Luo Cheng, look quickly! That’s Wind Rock Island!"
Wind Rock Island!
Luo Cheng’s heart stirred as he followed Jin Yuxi’s pointing finger.
On the lake surface about ten miles ahead to the right, he could faintly make out a small island.
Though it was a sunny day, the entire island was shrouded in chaos, with green flas blazing fiercely inside. Tornadoes raged wildly!
Amid the intertwining tumult of various forces, thick bolts of lightning were constantly forming and vanishing. The ground was riddled with charred pits, dazzlingly bright and radiating an oppressive energy, as though the destruction threatened to obliterate the entire island.
Seeing this scene, Luo Cheng’s pupils tightened.
If his mory served him well, Wind Rock Island was the site of Yun ngli and Yuan Qingying’s decisive battle.
Jin Yuxi gazed at Wind Rock Island, licked her lips, and explained:
"Wind Rock Island wasn’t always like this. That battle between your Xuanyuan Sect’s True Disciple Yun ngli and Yuan Qingying shattered the entire island. Coupled with the island’s peculiar force fields, it turned into what you see now."
Luo Cheng nodded lightly, gazing at the fractured island, able to imagine the intensity of that battle.
"I wonder how Senior Sister Yun ngli is doing..."
Thinking of the missing Yun ngli, Luo Cheng took a deep breath and silently resolved: As long as I break through to the Late Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm, I will have the strength to explore independently. At that ti, I’ll make a trip to Guyuan City and see if I can uncover any clues...
Leaving Wind Rock Island behind, the Three-colored Crane flew southeast.
After another two hours, dense mist suddenly rose between heaven and earth.
The mist swirled with the wind, shining with gorgeous and eerie brilliance, resembling rainbow clouds descending from the heavens—dreamlike and surreal.
"This mist is not simple; it can affect one’s senses. If one’s strength is insufficient, venturing inside could lead to becoming lost."
Upon entering the mist’s range, Luo Cheng imdiately noticed its strangeness. It felt as if he had stepped into an illusory world where the sky was no longer the sky and the ground was no longer the ground, creating a profound sense of unreality.
By channeling his Soul Power, this sensation diminished significantly.
"How peculiar!"
Luo Cheng marveled at the mysterious nature of the mist.
Jin Yuxi chuckled and said, "It’s said that this sea region used to be an Ancient Battlefield. The remains of countless powerful Ancient Demon Beasts lie buried beneath the ground. Their energies and lingering wills have ford a peculiar magnetic field that disrupts everything, inverting yin and yang! Even Awakening Vein Realm experts can easily lose their way if they venture inside."
Luo Cheng nodded, sighing inwardly: No wonder the Luoxia Sect is considered a Holy Land by many n, who dream of coming here yet dare not attempt it. This mist serves as a natural barrier!
"Today, I intend to take a walk through this Holy Land."
Luo Cheng’s face lit up with a smile.
The Three-colored Crane flew straight ahead, unaffected by the mist.
Before long, the Three-colored Crane slowed down and began to descend.
In the next mont.
Luo Cheng’s vision brightened as the mountain range and waterways below ca into view.
Below lay a group of islands.
The mountains on the islands glistened like crystal stones, emitting a faint glow like multicolored water crystals. Concentrated Heaven and Earth Essence Energy gathered in thin misty veils, swirling around the islands.
From the aerial perspective, the entire archipelago was bathed in radiant light, tranquil and harmonious, exuding an aura of otherworldly beauty.
"What a paradise! No wonder so many won dream of entering the Luoxia Sect to cultivate. Living in a place like this, one’s temperant would naturally transform over ti."
Luo Cheng marveled deeply, feeling that this journey was already worth it just to witness such scenery.
Swoosh!
The two Three-colored Cranes descended toward the largest island.
"Who is it? Oh, Senior Sister Qi Yue."
"Junior Sister Jin Yuxi, you’ve returned! I heard you were attacked—are you alright?"
The mont the Three-colored Cranes landed, several Outer Disciples of the Luoxia Sect imdiately approached. Each of them was radiant in appearance, full of youthful energy. Seeing Qi Yue and Jin Yuxi, they greeted them enthusiastically.
"Oh! Who are you? Don’t you know that n are forbidden to set foot in the Luoxia Sect?"
One of the female disciples spotted Luo Cheng and cried out in surprise.
Her words instantly stirred the entire sect.
Nearby Luoxia Sect disciples rushed over. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they scrutinized Luo Cheng.
It was rare for n to appear in the Luoxia Sect, and those who did were often extraordinary figures with high status.
Everyone began speculating about Luo Cheng’s identity.
"..."
Under the gaze of so many won, even Luo Cheng, who had a firm disposition, felt slightly uneasy.
"Huh? It’s you! Luo Cheng from the Xuanyuan Sect!"
One of the female disciples recognized Luo Cheng in astonishnt.
Luo Cheng identified her as Guo Qing, a Luoxia Sect disciple who had participated in a sect mission with him before. He smiled and said, "Long ti no see."
"Long ti no see."
Guo Qing nodded, her eyes filled with doubt, wondering why Luo Cheng had co to the Luoxia Sect.
A suspicion arose in her mind.
But it seed improbable.
At this mont, Jin Yuxi stepped forward to introduce him. "This is Luo Cheng, a Core Disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect! Last year’s first-place winner in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition! He’s here to participate in the qualification test for our Luoxia Sect’s Seven-Colored Spring."
First-place winner of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!
It’s him!
The crowd was stunned.
The story of Luo Cheng defeating Yan Qingshuang and Hua Jingyang had long spread across the Three Great Sects.
No one had expected Luo Cheng to be so young.
"It’s really him..."
Guo Qing was profoundly shocked, as if in a dream, murmuring to herself.
Of course, she had heard about Luo Cheng winning first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.
However, with tens of thousands of disciples in the Xuanyuan Sect and many sharing the sa na, she never made the connection. A year ago, during their sect mission, Luo Cheng had only been in the Transcendence Realm, with a cultivation level below hers—entirely unrelated to the renowned champion.
Little did she know that Luo Cheng was now the shining new star of not only the Three Great Sects but the entire Great Yue Dynasty!
"One year to beco a Core Disciple! How could he progress so much in so little ti..."
Guo Qing found it difficult to calm her astonishnt.
Currently at the Third Layer Peak of the Tongxuan Realm, her advancent rate was considered above average within the Luoxia Sect’s Outer Disciple ranks. Yet compared to Luo Cheng, it was insignificant.
At this mont, several Luoxia Sect Elders arrived.
After dispersing the crowd, one Elder addressed Luo Cheng casually, "Regarding your entry to cultivate in the Seven-Colored Spring, this matter needs to be discussed among the Elders. For now, stay within the sect. Qi Yue, take him to Cuixia Valley."
With these words, the Elders left swiftly without further remark.
Qi Yue glanced at Luo Cheng and stated coldly, "Our Luoxia Sect is composed of female disciples. You had best mind your eyes. Follow ..."
