True Martial World - Chapter 775: Mt. Fengling

After all the missions were completed, the Fire Cloud State's spirit cruiser shot out a beam of light, tearing the void open. Following that, the spirit cruiser entered the spatial vortex and completely disappeared.

The spirit cruiser was a massive object. Back when Yi Yun was sucked into the spirit cruiser, he estimated that it was dozens of kilometers long.

It was unknown how many refining masters were needed to produce such a massive spirit cruiser. Furthermore, the cost was definitely extremely exaggerated. And for such a massive spirit cruiser to tear space in one strike to do spatial transference, that required vast amounts of energy. The relics that provided this energy was also a huge expense.

These thoughts flashed past Yi Yun's mind. Having first arrived in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, he could only use certain external objects to roughly estimate the gap between the factions in the 12 Empyrean Heavens and the Tian Yuan world.

Yi Yun eventually opted to join the Luo clan as it was very beneficial for him. His body was in a terrible condition, so he needed a large faction's protection to slowly recover his Yuan Qi.

Boom!

Space was torn open as the spirit cruiser successfully completing its Void Transference.

Through the cruiser's window, all he saw was an endless red sea of clouds. He had previously heard Tao'er introduce this sea of clouds to him. It was said that this mass of clouds had existed for hundreds of millions of years and it had never dissipated before. The name of the Fire Cloud State was because of the rolling red clouds.

There was a giant planet floating in the midst of the endless red sea of clouds

The planet was blue in color, and about 80% of the planet's surface was ocean. There was a dark red continent in the middle and it was the so-called Fire Cloud State.

The Fire Cloud State actually occupied a planet. All the seas on this planet, including the red clouds surrounding it was the territory of the Fire Cloud State.

As Yi Yun looked at this planet, it looked about a few thousand kilometers in diameter, roughly the same size as his home planet, Earth. In the vicinity of the planet, there were a large number of Fey beasts shuttling through the sea of clouds.

Perhaps due to the vast size of the world, these Fey beasts were much larger than the desolate beasts that Yi Yun encountered in the Divine Wilderness.

Yi Yun saw a golden fish about 500 kilometers long. Its shape was that of a fish, but it had dragon whiskers near its mouth. Every time it opened its mouth, it would suck and expel red clouds, like a volcano eruption. However, this was just its breathing.

Other than that, there were feathered creatures with colorful feathers. They were gigantic pythons with single horns that resembled either dragons or snakes. The dragon horses that pulled spirit boats were endless in number.

In comparison, although the spirit cruiser Yi Yun was massive in size, it appeared inconspicuous when placed in such a backdrop.

The spirit cruiser began to slow down. The closer they were to the Fire Cloud State, the more amazed Yi Yun became. Although he had heard Tao'er describe this to him, it was more shocking to see it for himself.

Compared to the Tian Yuan world and the Divine Wilderness, the Fire Cloud State was so much more flourishing.

The Fire Cloud State could not be considered big, as it was much smaller than the Tian Yuan world. However, in the Fire Cloud State, there were all sorts of floating immortal mountains, immortal palaces, spirit statues, spirit cruisers, etc. They seemed endless and it was a dazzling sight. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

And the experts here were barely countable.

In the Tian Yuan world, Heaven Ascension realm warriors were already a dominating force. But in the Fire Cloud State, they were considered nothing much.

As Yi Yun rode on the spirit cruiser, it went straight to the middle of the Fire Cloud State.

There were endless immortal mountains here, and each immortal mountain was nearly ten kilometers high. Such tall immortal mountains had immense weight, but through the support of arrays, they were floating mid air. Such acts were impossible in the lower realms.

After the spirit cruiser flew past an immortal mountain, Yi Yun, together with Tao'er and Luo Fengling, took a small spirit boat that was deployed from the mothership, finally landing on the top of that mountain.

This immortal mountain was one that belonged to Luo Fengling.

Over the days, Yi Yun had learned from Tao'er that Luo Fengling was an influential figure amongst the younger generation in the Fire Cloud State.

Luo Fengling was from the Fire Cloud State's Heaven Fire Hall, which gathered all the top talent amongst the younger disciples in the Fire Cloud State.

Of course, there were quite a number of such geniuses, numbering more than a hundred. Luo Fengling was one of them, and her position amongst the hundred or so elites was above average.

Luo Fengling's advantage would be her young age. She was about Yi Yun's age.

Now, Luo Fengling was at the perfect-Yuan Opening realm, higher than Yi Yun by a minor realm. She still had a long way to go and she had a promising future.

And for the older core disciples in the Heaven Fire Hall, their ages ranged in the hundreds. For warriors in the 12 Empyrean Heavens with long lifespans, they were still considered juniors despite being a few hundred years old.

When Yi Yun disembarked the spirit cruiser, accompanying him were three other young disciples, two man and a woman. They wore different clothes and they had different cultivation levels. These three people were the new disciples the spirit cruiser had recruited from the various smaller worlds.

Back then, the spirit cruiser had gathered about a hundred people, but only three of them were chosen by Luo Fengling. Including Yi Yun, there were four prospective disciples.

"The mountain beneath your feet is called Mt. Fengling and it was named after me. From today onwards, the four of you will be my followers!" Luo Fengling spoke simply. "I'll first introduce myself. I'm Luo Fengling, a disciple of the Fire Cloud State's Heaven Fire Hall!"

"Amongst the younger generation in the Fire Cloud State, there are two halls, namely the Heaven Fire Hall and the Earth Fire Hall. To put it plainly, the Heaven Fire Hall are personal disciples!"

"Every Heaven Fire Hall disciple has a mountain for themselves. The entire Fire Cloud State has a total of 108 Heaven Fire mountains, which also mean 108 Heaven Fire Hall disciples. The number is fixed so only after the loss of one would they be replaced!"

"Every Heaven Fire Hall disciple can recruit external disciples as stewards. When comparing steward disciples to other external disciples, it is easier for them to obtain resources from the Fire Cloud State's Luo clan. At the same time, they have to do some miscellaneous chores."

As Luo Fengling spoke, the steward disciples exchanged glances and nodded.

The Heaven Fire Hall disciples were elites of the Fire Cloud State's younger generation. The elite’s main task was to cultivate, and with them in charge of a mountain, there were definitely many chores to handle.

On a mountain, there was all sorts of chores like resource allocation, the feeding of Fey beasts and the planting of herbs that needed people manning them. These matters naturally could not be done by the Heaven Fire Hall disciple themselves, so there was a need for people to serve these Heaven Fire Hall disciples.

That was the job of steward disciples.

In fact, steward disciples was a great job. They could follow a Heaven Fire Hall disciple, and at times, obtain resources that the Heaven Fire Hall disciple did not use. That itself was a great benefit for them, so many ordinary disciples yearned to become steward disciples.

"On Mt. Fengling, there will be many chores. But similarly, there will be greater opportunities. As long as you dedicate yourselves to cultivation, I will not treat you badly. In the future, if you display good cultivation talent, I would nominate you into the Earth Fire Hall. When you enter the Earth Fire Hall, you will be considered a true disciple of the Luo clan! Are all of you agreeable to that?"

As Luo Fengling said, she scanned the four.

There was nothing disagreeable about this matter. The other three yearned it greatly and even Yi Yun nodded his head slightly. His priority was to heal his injuries, and he did not mind where he was as long as it was safe. As a steward disciple, he would be inconspicuous so his safety would not be a problem. Mt Fengling was considered expedient.

True Martial World - Chapter 774: Luo Clan, Fire Cloud State!

Ten Thousand Fey!

Yi Yun took a deep breath. Yi Yun had roughly read through information regarding the 12 Empyrean Heavens from the records left behind by the Azure Yang Lord.

The Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was given this name because the rulers were from members of the Fey race.

There was a lot of Fey race of different forms. Their species numbered in the thousands, with all sorts of bloodlines!

And the Fey race was a race that valued bloodlines the most. The ones with strong bloodlines were born to be kings! The ones with weaker bloodlines were born to be mediocre, or even be tagged as slaves.

Yi Yun recalled that Jiang Xiaorou's father was likely from the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. After all, the Tian Yuan world's spatial node led to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven.

Or it should be said that Jiang Xiaorou's father was a member of the Fey race in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven!

And it was because of this that he left such a powerful bloodline for Jiang Xiaorou.

"I wonder which exact race Jiang Xiaorou's father is..." Yi Yun muttered to himself. Jiang Xiaorou was born in a lower realm, and without the Fey race's inheritance, she could not develop the power of her bloodline. Instead, it should be said that Jiang Xiaorou's blood line was in a sleeping state, and it was yet to be awoken. Compared to the long lifespans of the Fey race, the present Jiang Xiaorou was probably an infant.

Even though Jiang Xiaorou was so weak, her worshiping at the divine bone altar caused the Sacred Spirit that defended the Desolate race to descend, personally approving of Jiang Xiaorou.

In fact, the Sacred Spirit which protected the Desolate race was a Fey beast from the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

In the battle with the Black-armored Demon God, only Jiang Xiaorou could withstand the possession of the Sacred Spirit.

Finally, Jiang Xiaorou's bloodline was coveted by the Black-armored Demon God. He lay a mark on Jiang Xiaorou's body so as to obtain her bloodline.

If Jiang Xiaorou's father was said to be a member of the Fey race, then everything could be explained.

After Yi Yun thought of this, he subconsciously looked at Tao'er and he could not help but size her up.

A fourteen-year-old girl could be said to be like a lotus bud, looking exquisite and cute.

Being suddenly sized up by Yi Yun, Tao'er's face blushed as she fell into panic. "You… why are you looking at me this way?"

Yi Yun smiled. "Sorry, it was a rash action on my part. I was actually suddenly thinking about Miss Tao'er's name. Are you related to the peach (tao) tree?"

In the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, plants could become Fey. For example, peach trees were plants that could very easily cultivate into a Fey.

Peach trees were spiritual. In the mortal world, there were thousand-year-old peach trees that were used to ward off evil spirits.

Besides, in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, many peach trees could absorb the spiritual energies of the Heaven and Earth, transforming into young girls.

In response to Yi Yun’s question, Tao'er spat out her tongue and said softly, "No. I'm human and my natural talent is very ordinary."

"I see..." Yun'er nodded. He noticed that Tao'er's face looked slightly lost. The position that humans had in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was quite awkward.

The Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was ruled by the Fey race, and the Fey race were born with powerful bloodlines, so they had an advantage over the Human race. Furthermore, with the number of humans in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven being fewer in number, they were naturally disadvantaged.

Hence, humans did not enjoy a good status in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, for example Tao'er. She was not only human, her talent was also not outstanding. Under normal circumstances, she would not be able to lead a good life. For Tao'er to become a maidservant of a large clan was already a pretty good outcome.

...

Yi Yun traveled in the spirit cruiser until it began to make its return voyage. Suddenly, the Missus who saved Yi Yun appeared in Yi Yun's room.

This Missus looked like she was 16–17 years old. But of course for warriors, when they broke through to a very high cultivation realm at a young age, they could maintain their 16–17-year-old appearances for several years, so appearance could not be used as a reference for age. Even Yi Yun himself looked like a 16–17-year-old youth.

The girl was dressed in a purple dress. Her eyebrows were smoky, and her eyes were like water. She looked like she had a special kind of temperament.

Was she a member of the Fey race?

From the purple-dressed girl's body, Yi Yun could sense an aura different to humans.

In the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, the Human and Fey race could coexist peacefully, however, most of the powerful figures in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven were from the Fey race.

"Thank you to this lady for saving this lowly one. I wonder what this lady's name is?"

Yi Yun cupped his fists and he thanked the purple-dressed girl from the bottom of his heart.

"Luo Fengling." The purple-dressed girl answered tersely and simply. "You come from a lower realm?"

Yi Yun’s proficiency in the language of the 12 Empyrean Heavens was not well-practiced, so it was easy to tell.

Yi Yun nodded in admission.

"From which lower realm? Roughly where is the spatial node?" The purple-dressed girl asked again.

Hearing the purple-dressed girl inquire, Yi Yun hesitated slightly. He decided to hide the matter that he came from the Tian Yuan world.

Previously, he had heard the purple-dressed girl say that the world that the Tian Yuan world resided in was an important route of retreat for the Luo clan, mainly because the Tian Yuan world was hidden and difficult to be discovered.

Even if the route of retreat was not considered highly confidential, the Luo clan naturally did not want too many people to know. After all, they seemed to be at war with an unknown faction. In the intense battle in the past, even Luo Huo'er, a direct descendant had been evacuated to the lower realm, indicating how powerful their opponent was.

Under such circumstances, if Luo Fengling knew that he came from the Tian Yuan world, then to prevent information from leaking, what if she put him under house arrest?

Now, Yi Yun was seriously injured, and had no way to protect himself.

"Miss Luo, this lowly one comes from an obscure small planet. The planet's martial civilization is limited, and as there's lacking heritage in spatial dimension laws, this lowly one isn't proficient in it. While traveling to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, this lowly one encountered a spatial storm, losing my way. If you want to ask me where the spatial node is, this lowly one does not know really know." Yi Yun lied.

Luo Fengling nodded. Yi Yun was clearly a inconsequential warrior from the lower realm. Luo Fengling did not care much about he said, so she naturally did not have the mind to doubt him.

As for Yi Yun coming from the Tian Yuan world, Luo Fengling did not think of it. She did not believe that Yi Yun could pass through the Hundred Wraiths black hole's Tian Yuan world spatial node.

"What's your name?" Luo Fengling asked again.

"Yi Yun."

"Alright, Yi Yun. My Luo clan is currently enrolling foreign races as disciples. Previously, my Luo clan experienced a massive war and suffered heavy casualties, so it is in need of revitalizing its strength."

"I am attached to the Luo clan's Fire Cloud State! The Fire Cloud State disciples came out venturing actually to search for non-Luo surname bearing disciples with superior qualifications to get them to join the Fire Cloud State!"

"You just came from a lower realm to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, and since you do not know your way or anyone, be it heritage or resources, it would be difficult for you to obtain them. Joining a large faction is a good choice."

"In my opinion, for you to single-handedly have the ability to come from a lower realm to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven means that your cultivation foundation is considered acceptable. Your body was nearly in shambles, yet your life force hung on. Furthermore, in the past few days, you have actually recovered greatly, surprising me. If you wish, you can join my Fire Cloud State and become an external disciple!"

"However, I need to warn you that although my Luo clan beat our opponents in the previous war, we only forced them into retreat. It is unknown when they would make a comeback. When that happens, you might be involved in the war, and your life might be left up to fate. You have to consider carefully if you want to join my Luo clan's Fire Cloud State."

True Martial World - Chapter 773: Thousand Fey

The spirit cruiser shuttled through the cosmos, but although it traveled at a high speed, in the vast cosmos, it felt as though it was not moving. It was like a dead branch floating in water in an extremely quiet fashion.

Yi Yun had already arrived in this spirit cruiser for several hours. When he woke up again, he realized he was sleeping on a soft depression. Below him was a thick mat. It was unknown which spirit beast's feathers the mat was made of. It was extremely soft, and he was covered in a cotton quilt which was very warm.

At that moment, Yi Yun was already fully awake, but was only extremely weak. Having consumed his blood essence and then using power his body could not withstand, he had received a energy backlash. Following that, after entering the spatial storms, most of his meridians were severed, so his present situation was truly wretched.

If an ordinary warrior were in Yi Yun's situation, it would be a question if they could even recover from those injuries. It was very likely to cause lingering problems in the future, affecting their martial paths.

However, Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal Origins, allowing him to constantly absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to repair his body. Furthermore, his body was a perfect Yang body, so he was not afraid that he could not join his meridians back up. He did not need to worry about this at all.

The only problem was Yi Yun having to spend a period of time being weak.

Inside Yi Yun's dantian, the injuries the Draco First True Gold avatar and Demon God puppet received were much lighter, especially the Demon God puppet with a strong vitality. It nearly did not lose any of its combat strength. Yi Yun estimated that once he recovered 30–40% of his strength, he would be able to control the evil energy. Then, he would be able to summon the Demon God puppet, and not be afraid of losing control of it. This way, he would have the means to protect himself. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Now, Yi Yun was only worried about Lin Xintong. Having been caught up in the spatial vortex, it was unknown where Lin Xintong had gone.

"Eh, you have awakened?"

At that moment, a girl about 13–14 years of age with a round face walked into Yi Yun's resting room. Her skin was white and she had rosy cheeks. She looked very cute.

The girl made a pot of tea after entering the room. Her dressing looked like she was a maidservant, but of course, that pot of tea was not prepared for Yi Yun.

"Yes, I have woken up...Thank you for saving me."

Yi Yun said sincerely. If not for this spirit cruiser, he would probably be floating in space for 7–8 years, slowly recovering his injuries by absorbing minute amounts of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.

Although 7–8 years was considered a very short period of time for Yi Yun's lifespan, but time was very precious in the first half of Yi Yun's martial path.

Warriors had long lifespans, easily a hundred thousand years or a million years. However, they could only improve their cultivation realms fastest in their youth, when their life's potential was at its fullest.

Many warriors would do it in one go and rush to the highest cultivation realm they could. Once their potential was exhausted at a particular realm, or if they encountered a bottleneck, then they would be stuck in that realm. In the hundreds of thousands of years in the future, their cultivation level realm would, at best, improve by one full realm. Unless they encountered a stunning opportunity, nothing surprising would happen.

The 7–8 years was not something Yi Yun could afford wasting.

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, the maidservant began to giggle. "The way you speak sounds so funny."

The maidservant felt as though she had discovered a new continent. Having arrived in the 12 Empyrean Heavens for the first time, Yi Yun did not know the 12 Empyrean Heavens's language well. He could only use the memories of what the Azure Yang Lord used back in the Great Empress mystic realm; hence, the sentences he said were broken and sounded weird. But because of that, he was made fun of by this maidservant who still had a young child-like heart.

"If you want to thank, thank my Missus. She was the one who saved you," The maidservant said, but suddenly thought of something, before carrying on. "My name is Tao'er. Stay here and rest. Our spirit cruiser will probably take another 4–5 days before returning."

Seeing the maidservant carry the teapot away, Yi Yun hurriedly called out to her to stop her. "That...Miss Tao'er, I wonder where your Missus is. I want to meet her and thank her in person."

Having been saved by others, meeting them personally to thank them was courtesy, besides the crux of the issue was...Yi Yun wanted to gather news about Lin Xintong.

After Yi Yun and Lin Xintong attained the third stage of the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra', Yi Yun and Lin Xintong had already begun developing a vague sense of telepathy between themselves. At distances very close to each other, they could vaguely sense each other's presence.

But now, Yi Yun could not sense her at all. Without a doubt, Lin Xintong was not on the spirit cruiser.

But even so, Yi Yun wanted to ask the Missus the maidservant talked about. He wanted to hold on to the unlikely hope of being able to find Lin Xintong's whereabouts.

"That isn't necessary." The maidservant nonchalantly waved her hand. "To speak the truth, our Missus might have saved you, but it's just a trivial matter for her. She wouldn't put her mind on it. My Missus is busily cultivating, and has many important things to do. I believe our Missus will not have the time to meet you."

After the maidservant said with a giggle, she turned around and left.

Seeing the door close, Yi Yun sighed. Indeed, in his present state, he was like a refugee. He was injured from top to bottom. Tao'er's Missus saved him only out of the kindness in her heart. As for thinking highly of him, that was impossible.

It was a question whether he would be able to meet the Missus while the spirit cruiser was out on a mission for 4–5 days. And even if he met her, she would most likely not help him find Lin Xintong.

"Xintong...nothing must happen to you."

Lin Xintong's nomological insight might be inferior to his, but her cultivation level was similar to his. Since he was fine passing through the spatial turbulence, Lin Xintong should be fine...

Yi Yun tried to consoled himself, and began to meditate. He was severely wounded, so he needed to take the opportunity to recuperate.

The spirit cruiser sailed through the cosmos, and the Luo clan seemed to be carrying out a mission. There were people entering and exiting the spirit cruiser on a daily basis.

After all, in the territory of others, Yi Yun did not probe what they were doing. He only stayed in the room, as if he had been forgotten. In the next few days, only Tao'er would occasionally appear in his room, to retrieve something or bring Yi Yun some spirit food.

As time went by, Yi Yun became rather familiar with the maidservant.

Although Tao'er was a 14–15 year old maidservant, she was already at the peak of the Purple Blood realm and was about to break through into the Yuan Foundation realm. Compared to the young elites in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, she was already nearly a grade above them.

The maidservant wasn't a scheming person. She told Yi Yun many things, and from their conversations, Yi Yun slowly had a general idea of the 12 Empyrean Heavens, or at least, he knew which of the 12 Empyrean Heavens he was in.

Back when Yi Yun planned on heading to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, he wanted to go to the Yang God Empyrean Heaven the most.

The Yang God Empyrean Heaven was the hometown of the Azure Yang Lord, where he rose up, becoming one of the 72 Divine Lords of the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. Finally after being betrayed by his beloved woman, he lost his position as Divine Lord. He was then severely injured, affecting his cultivation level greatly. It could be said that he was left with nothing.

The Yang God Empyrean Heaven buried the Azure Yang Lord's ambitions, and made him obsess over it. Even though the Azure Yang Lord met the ancient Great Empress, and fell in love with her, he never got rid of the obsession regarding the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. Only at his death, did he see through it all.

However, when the Azure Yang Lord slightly opened up the Tian Yuan world's seal, revealing one or two spatial nodes. This spatial node linked not to the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, but the—

Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven!

True Martial World - Chapter 772: Emblem of Fire

Spirit cruisers were commonly seen in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. After all, not every warrior was proficient in spatial dimension laws or had the ability to do Void Transference.

If they needed to make long-distance space travel, they could only rely on spirit cruisers, using the arrays in the spirit cruiser to tear the void.

Yi Yun found it incredulous that he would encounter a spirit cruiser. He vaguely felt that he had stepped into the 12 Empyrean Heavens. The number of warriors in the 12 Empyrean Heavens numbered like the number of grains of sand in the Ganges river. But when it came to the space around the 12 Empyrean Heavens, the number of spirit cruisers were extremely few in number. He found it hard to believe that he had encountered a spirit cruiser as he reached the end of the rope.

And at that moment, the spirit cruiser had taken the initiative to fly towards Yi Yun. The spirit cruiser released an intangible energy that enveloped Yi Yun, slowly pulling Yi Yun towards itself...

At such a close distance, Yi Yun was able to see the spirit cruiser in its entirety. It was the shape of a shuttle, and it was light gray in color. In the middle of the spirit cruiser, there was a striking fiery red emblem. It was a burning flame.

That was probably the emblem of the faction that owns the spirit cruiser...

Yi Yun did not resist, allowing the energy to pull him towards the spirit cruiser.

In his present situation, resistance was futile. He did not know what sort of people were on the spirit cruiser, but he would take things one step at a time.

In the spirit cruiser, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was a lot more richer and Yi Yun was isolated behind a light curtain. His mind was in a trance-like state, and he looked like he was in a coma.

But in fact, Yi Yun's perception was using the Purple Crystal's vision to pass through the light curtain, as he radiated it everywhere.

Vaguely, Yi Yun began to hear someone discussing something.

Their language was different to the Tian Yuan world's, but it was quite similar to the language used by the Azure Yang Lord tens of millions of years ago.

Yi Yun had to use the fluctuations in their mental processes to barely understand the context of their conversation.

"Where did this young man come from?" A middle-aged man asked with a deep voice as he looked at Yi Yun who was bound by a light curtain.

"Just now, space around the Hundred Wraiths black hole tore apart, causing a small spatial storm. We came to investigate the situation and found this person. He was severely injured, so we saved him. It's unknown if he was injured by the spatial storm… "

Replying to the middle-aged man was a girl dressed in purple clothes. Her voice was clear and pleasant to the ears.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "This young man's cultivation level is only at the Yuan Opening realm. If he were to be swept up into that sort of storm, he would have long been dead. You wouldn't even see his corpse, let alone save him. He is probably a drifter in space. Maybe his spirit cruiser malfunctioned and he was lucky enough to be saved by you. Also… Fengling, you are just too kind. It's best not to save strangers like him by bringing them onto the spirit cruiser. You have no idea what sort of person he is. Our mission is to patrol the Hundred Wraiths black hole. The spatial node it seals is connected to a sealed world, a world that is one of routes of retreat for our Luo clan. It's especially important now, so remember our mission."

The middle-aged man glanced at the purple-dressed girl with a deep, meaningful look before he turned around and left.

"Sorry, I will be careful next time." The girl nodded. She took a glance at Yi Yun, and after confirming that he was still unconscious, she left.

Yi Yun was still immersed in white light. He felt empty-headed, and was slowly recovering his strength in his half-awakened state. He opened his eyes a few times and he saw the warriors on the spirit cruiser. Many of them wore a flame mark on their right breasts.

The Luo clan and that purple-dressed girl…

Recalling the middle-aged man's words, he figured that the black hole he had encountered was probably called the Hundred Wraiths black hole, and it sealed a spatial node.

The middle-aged man had even said that the spatial node connected to a sealed world.

Without a doubt, the 'sealed world' was the world where the Tian Yuan world resided. Due to the existence of the eternal whirlpool, it was indeed a sealed world.

Yi Yun had used a spatial node from the Tian Yuan world to travel to where he was. According to the Azure Yang Lord's memories, the world where the Tian Yuan world resided, was a vessel used to seal a Demon God. The number of spatial nodes connected to the 12 Empyrean Heavens were extremely few in number. There might only be one or two.

That was to say that by using this fixed spatial node to travel to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, it would always take him to a particular region in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

And the Luo clan they were mentioning…

Yi Yun recalled this name, as he could not help but make some connections.

Tens of millions of years ago, the Tian Yuan world's seal was released because of the Azure Yang Lord. With that, one or two spatial nodes appeared. Then naturally, people from the 12 Empyrean Heavens could use those spatial nodes to travel to the Tian Yuan world.

However, as there were very few spatial node, the number of 12 Empyrean Heavens warriors, who went to the Tian Yuan world, were extremely few in number.

And thinking back to the strange girl he met in the Tai Ah Divine City...

That Luo Huo'er, she couldn't be from the Luo clan, right?

However, upon careful thought, it did not seem like a coincidence. As there were only one or two spatial nodes, the spatial node linked two fixed spots, this region in the 12 Empyrean Heavens and the Tian Yuan World.

If this fixed exit was in the Luo clan, then it was not surprising that the Luo clan would use the hidden Tian Yuan world as a route of retreat.

Back then, when Yi Yun separated from the elvish girl, she had indeed said that she had come to the Tian Yuan world to seek refuge.

In the Tai Ah Divine City, she was a mystery for she never displayed her true strength.

The Tai Ah Divine City had three rolls of honor, the Heaven, Earth and Man. She was only ranked first in personal wealth, on the Man roll of honor.

As for the Earth roll of honor which ranked people's battle rankings, as well as the Heaven ranking, which ranked the killing of desolate beasts, she had never appeared on them.

People guessed that Luo Huo'er had extraordinary strength, but she never showed it. She only brought a little maidservant named Dong'er with her, fooling around all day in the Tai Ah Divine City.

Although she looked as though she did nothing decent, the Tai Ah Divine City Elders treated her well, because of her mysterious and powerful background.

Her identity was a mystery, and even the Tai Ah Divine City City Lord did not know who she was. The person, who had introduced her into the Tai Ah Divine City, was extremely powerful and he seemed like a big shot.

But now to think of it, this so-called ‘big shot’ was probably a steward sent from the Luo clan to the Tian Yuan world.

It was very normal for a super clan, who used a hidden world as a form of retreat, to arrange for a steward to pave the way.

When the family clan was in trouble, and with their survival at stake, the family's children could hide in this small lower realm and remain incognito. As such, they would be naturally safe.

If their family clan was destroyed, then their family's descendants could still pass on their heritage. This was the role of the Tian Yuan world in the grand scheme of things.

When the Desolate race invaded the Tai Ah Divine City, the Luo clan did not do a thing. They chose to leave.

It was then when Yi Yun separated from Luo Huo'er.

The beast horde that Shepherd Boy led to invade the city would have been trivial for the Luo clan. If they acted, they could have destroyed all the desolate beasts, but they did not choose to do so. This was probably because they were facing enemies that were pursuing them.

By recklessly showing power from the 12 Empyrean Heavens, they would greatly increase the risk of being discovered by their enemies. Hence, the family clan had ordered for them to leave the Tai Ah Divine City while keeping a low profile.

True Martial World - Chapter 771: Spirit Cruiser

"Xintong!"

The black hole's gravitational strength was too strong, and it sucked them in silently. Yi Yun immediately grabbed Lin Xintong's hand!

Lin Xintong's understanding of spatial dimension laws was weaker than Yi Yun, so it was naturally impossible for her to resist the black hole's gravitational pull.

Now, they were truly at the end of the rope. Hiding inside the God Advent Tower led to a dead end as well, as they would be sucked into the black hole, along with the God Advent Tower.

"Yi Yun, let's try to move backward again!" Lin Xintong turned anxious. At that moment, she could only inject all her Yuan Qi into Yi Yun's body. By combining their strengths, they could use Yi Yun's understanding of spatial dimension laws to break free from the bondage of the black hole.

With their lives on the line, Yi Yun's mind churned quickly. They were like swimming in rapids, and behind them was a waterfall. The water flow was too fast, so regardless of how they swam, they were only sliding backward.

If this went on, it would be disastrous! Yi Yun clenched his fists. In about half a minute, they would be completely be locked onto by the black hole, and their deaths would be ensured!

But what if… he tore the void?

Yi Yun's mind lit up with a flash of brilliance. They were still in the midst of the spatial dimensional turbulence, but the space here could still be torn open. However, in the vicinity of the black hole, due to the severe distortion of space, Yi Yun had no way of predicting what would happen when he teared the space open. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

But at that moment, he no longer had time to consider any of the his options. He could only try his luck.

"Xintong, give me your strength... all of it!" Yi Yun shouted. Without any hesitation, Lin Xintong immediately circulated the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra'. All her Yuan Qi surged into Yi Yun's body like a torrential flood!

Yi Yun felt his dantian swell instantly, as though it was going to explode.

"Xiao!"

The Golden Crow and Nine Neonate's phantom image appeared behind Yi Yun's body simultaneously. At the same time, the Black-armored Demon God and the Draco First True Gold avatar were summoned by Yi Yun as well.

In a combination of avatar, puppet, along with all of Lin Xintong and Yi Yun's strength, Yi Yun threw out the God Advent Tower!

Suppress!

The God Advent Tower struck the void. This was Yi Yun's strongest attack!

Ka Ka Ka!

The space in the vicinity of the black hole contained greater amounts of energy. If this was the Tian Yuan world, Yi Yun's strike would have caused the space to collapse. But now, it only resulted in tiny fractures and they were even quickly mending themselves.

"Demon God puppet!"

Yi Yun roared. The Demon God puppet, which had already spent a great deal of energy in the previous strike, struck the void with its lance in hand like a meteor bombardment!

Ka-cha!

The fractures expanded once again. However, they did not completely crack open. Yi Yun's pupils constricted. And at that split second, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence and burned it.

Suppress it again!

The God Advent Tower's second strike was augmented by the strength that Yi Yun obtained by burning his blood essence.

Time was too tight. In that short time window, be it Yi Yun, the Draco First True Gold avatar or the Demon God puppet, they had used a strength that their bodies could not withstand.

Boom!

Space finally completely shattered. Endless spatial storms swept up as Yi Yun held onto Lin Xintong's hand. Using all their strength, they charged into the spatial turbulence!

As to what there was behind the spatial turbulence, Yi Yun did not know. But it was definitely better than falling into a black hole.

Yi Yun clenched his teeth while enduring the storm's engulfment. He felt like his body was about to crack apart, while he put his Draco avatar and the Demon God puppet away.

The Draco avatar moved through Yi Yun's will. If Yi Yun's consciousness turned dull, he would not be able to move himself easily. So the Draco First True Gold avatar would naturally be useless as well.

As for the Demon God puppet, its body was extremely strong. Despite the impact from before, it could still move freely. But Yi Yun could not let the Demon God puppet stay by his side.

The thing controlling the Demon God puppet was actually the evil energy. In an extremely weakened state, he would not be able to control the evil energy. He needed to keep the Demon God puppet in his dantian, sealing the evil energy in the Purple Crystal. Only then would it be safe.

Yi Yun desperately held onto Lin Xintong's soft hand, as he felt like he was a leaf, drifting in the storm.

The storm grew in intensity, while Yi Yun's energy quickly depleted. He had just burned a large quantity of his blood essence. Being weak in both blood and Qi, it was very difficult for him to withstand the terrifying forces.

As his consciousness turned blurry, Yi Yun bit his tongue, using the pain to keep him awake. However... he still was unable to fight against the powers of the universe...

...

...

After an unknown period of time, as though he had a lengthy dream, Yi Yun opened his heavy eyelids with great difficulty. He felt like his eyelids were as heavy as lead, making it extremely difficult for him to open them fully.

His vision was still in a blur. He felt like he was still drifting through the void, and his body felt weightless.

In his stupor, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes opened up widely immediately as he broke out into cold sweat.

His hand was empty!

"Xintong! Xintong!"

Yi Yun subconsciously stretched his hand out to grab something, but all he caught was nothingness. Lin Xintong, who he was desperately holding onto before going unconscious, had disappeared!

Yi Yun turned his neck with great difficulty to survey the surroundings. However, he saw nothing as far as his vision could go. It was just black nothingness. There was nothing at all. He had been separated from Lin Xintong!

After being swept into the spatial turbulence, the both of them lost consciousness, and they must have been separated by the chaotic spatial dimensional forces.

How was he going to search for Lin Xintong in this vast emptiness?

And his body was now in a wretched state. Not only were his organs ruptured, many of his meridians had been severed. His body's energy was nearly completely depleted.

It was difficult for him to fly, let alone talk about Void Tearing.

This endless sea of stars made distances between every world extremely far. In Yi Yun's situation, trying to cross this sea of stars to another world was nearly impossible.

With this thought in mind, Yi Yun's heart turned cold. Now, trying to extricate himself from this spatial maze was a huge problem, let alone find Lin Xintong.

Yi Yun felt hatred. These hidden black holes in space were relatively few in the endless void, yet he had the bad luck to encounter one.

Being pulled into the black hole's gravitational pull was something that he could do nothing about. Even warriors from the 12 Empyrean Heavens would be lost in it if they were not careful, let alone him!

Having been separated from Lin Xintong, and his body severely injured due to the spatial turbulence, he floated in the void without any form of resistance. The only thing that still had its strength conserved was the Demon God puppet, but Yi Yun did not dare to summon it easily so as to prevent him losing control of the evil energy.

At that moment, the only thing Yi Yun could do was rely on the Purple Crystal to absorb the minute amounts of Yuan Qi in the void, supplementing his exhausted energy.

But tragically, Yi Yun's meridians and pores were like a sieve, making him lose 99% of the energy he absorbed into his body.

Trying to keep this energy required mending his meridians. But to mend his meridians, he needed even more energy. This made him fall into a vicious cycle. If this went on, Yi Yun did not know when he would be able to mend his body.

He had to find an area with rich Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and slowly nurse himself back to health. However, where was he to find such a place?

Just as Yi Yun felt like he was at the end of the rope… he suddenly saw a red beam of light shoot at him. He could tell that it was a spirit cruiser.

True Martial World - Chapter 770: Trip Filled with Extreme Bliss

The distance between the Tian Yuan world and the 12 Empyrean Heavens was beyond imagination. If one flew there directly, even 2–3 million years would not have been enough.

Through spatial nodes, distant spaces could be connected through spatial channels. As such, the distance would be shortened by a factor of 100,000. However, it would still take a long period of time to fly.

In the spatial turbulence, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong could not constantly rely on the God Advent Tower, despite having it.

This was because the moment that the God Advent Tower was summoned, its large size made it experience greater impacts from the spatial storms in the spatial turbulence. This would result in the rapid energy depletion of the God Advent Tower's arrays.

Besides, in the spatial storms, trying to recharge the energy of the God Advent Tower’s arrays was not easy.

For the past few years, in order to prepare for his journey to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, Yi Yun had amassed large quantities of pills and desolate bone relics. While flying in the spatial turbulence, they would spend most of their time outside the God Advent Tower, using their own understanding of spatial dimension laws to shuttle through space.

Yi Yun's insights into spatial dimension laws were naturally better than Lin Xintong's. Holding her hand, he took up a spot in front of her, and together, they were like fishes that swam against the water flow. Lin Xintong followed Yi Yun. Although her nomological insights were slightly inferior, she just needed to handle the pockets of the spatial turbulence that Yi Yun missed out, so it was something that she could handle.

Whenever their Yuan Qi was greatly depleted, they would summon the God Advent Tower and rest in it for a while to restore their stamina.

Along the way, Yi Yun managed to see many worlds through the mazes in the spatial turbulence.

The worlds were of all sorts of sizes. Some were like the Tian Yuan world, a floating continent, while there were some that were round planets!

The smaller planets were about the size of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, while the larger ones were several times larger than the world that the Tian Yuan world and Divine Wilderness resided in. They were massive giant planets hidden in endless space. Just a look at them was shocking!

Yi Yun knew that in these worlds, there was life — martial civilizations, sects and family clans. There were top geniuses and mighty figures, who were bestowed with the titles of Sages and Emperors!

Their martial arts civilization might be inferior to the Tian Yuan world, or they might even far exceed the Tian Yuan world!

Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun had mixed feelings. The universe was large, far beyond the imagination of anyone. Just the Tian Yuan world alone was inconspicuous if placed in the various Great Worlds.

And above these worlds, there was the more brilliant 12 Empyrean Heavens. That was where true martial art heritage was vibrant. Even a corner of the 12 Empyrean Heavens was more terrifying than the Tian Yuan world.

"Yi Yun, I feel like I'm a frog in a well. Just by looking at these worlds, all of them are so magnificent and brilliant, especially those giant planets. Touring them wouldn’t be a waste of time, however, there are so many worlds… Even spending one's entire life to travel through these places would be like a drop in the ocean… " Lin Xintong sighed gently.

In the spatial turbulence, they could enter any of those worlds if they saw them. They just needed to open a spatial rift to do so. Back then, the Sovereign of the Eventide probably planned on using these worlds as springboards . He could recover his stamina in these worlds as he flew to the 12 Empyrean Heavens. Of course, that would take him an extremely long period of time.

Yi Yun said, "Xintong, we do not need to travel to every world. We just need to conquer the most magnificent world."

Yi Yun's voice was filled with an indescribable feeling of confidence that slightly stunned Lin Xintong.

Conquer?

Yi Yun's idea of conquering was to conquer the most magnificent world, giving them the freedom to traverse the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Instantly, Lin Xintong felt infinite lofty enthusiasm. After all, a warrior's life was a fight against fate. She wanted to go to a bigger world, to gain control of her fate.

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong shuttled through the spatial turbulence while cultivating along the way.

Traveling through the spatial turbulence was itself a form of training. By bearing the impact of the spatial turbulence, they could strengthen their cultivation levels. Searching for a path through the complex spatial turbulence allowed them to improve their nomological understanding.

And while resting in the God Advent Tower, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong would engage in dual cultivation of the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra'.

With the passage of time, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's accumulation in laws and cultivation level finally allowed them to master the second stage of the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra', formally reaching the third stage.

This was a qualitative leap forward.

At the third stage, they could begin a complete integration as man and woman, the harmony of Yin and Yang.

To perfectly combine the long accumulated Nine Yang Spiritual Energy and extremely pure Jade Marrow Spiritual Energy, it needed Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's body to become one, which was also true dual cultivation.

In the dark God Advent Tower, Yi Yun's muscular body and Lin Xintong's soft and white body were buried opposite each other, their limbs entwined like they were joined in an embrace.

Their feelings for each other had reached a point where everything was natural.

Lin Xintong's body was bathed in sweat, her wet hair clinging to her forehead. While duo cultivating the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra', the pure Yang energy would enter her body, causing her pure Yin body to feel an intense heat. This intense heat made her white porcelain body turn ruddy.

While engaging in dual cultivation, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's cultivation levels soared like a mountainous torrent, rising at a rapid pace!

From the Tian Yuan world to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, the journey was long and felt endless. While immersed in the double joy of sex and the improvement in strength, they found it irresistible.

Even the pure Lin Xintong could not remain indifferent under such pleasure. The excitement her body gave to her was indescribable.

Time slowly passed. What was an otherwise lifeless travel through the spatial turbulence was a trip filled with bliss and a strange debauchery for Yi Yun and Lin Xintong. They traveled through space, hand in hand, watching the wonders of worlds that numbered in their thousands, enjoying the life of an immortal couple.

With that, five years passed.

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's cultivation level had risen to the late stages of the Yuan Opening realm. With their strength greatly boosted, it instilled greater confidence in themselves for their travel to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

However, the two of them never expected that after their strengths were greatly enhanced, a danger would befall them!

It was a black hole that suddenly appeared!

Black holes, which were hidden in empty space, were extremely terrifying objects as Yi Yun was unable to detect them.

When he felt his body being pulled in by an invisible force, as they were being dragged deep into an abyss, and how the golden pure Yang Yuan Qi beam he shot out disappeared strangely, Yi Yun broke out into cold sweat.

Under extreme distortions of space, black holes were formed. They could swallow up and distort light, preventing one from seeing them with the naked eye. Approaching them, without realizing their presence, meant facing great danger.

True Martial World - Chapter 769: Departure

Originally, Yi Yun was of the impression that when Jiang Xiaorou's father left the Tian Yuan world, he would leave behind a complex and powerful teleportation array. He planned on using the teleportation array to find spatial nodes. Using the spatial nodes, he could cross the void to arrive in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

But when he arrived at the spot where Jiang Xiaorou's father had left the Tian Yuan world, there was nothing there.

It was a hidden valley and in the valley, there was a thin layer of lingering mist. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around the area was not rich, and the only difference was that there was a bit of disorder in the spatial dimensional forces in the vicinity.

Spatial dimension disorder… meant that there could be a spatial dimensional channel in the area that had been sealed. With Yi Yun's present understanding of spatial dimension laws, he felt like he could easily tear the void apart to enter the turbulence of space, and following that, find the spatial node.

However, having read a portion of the Black-armored Demon God's memories, Yi Yun knew that traveling through spatial nodes was extremely difficult.

He had to make adequate preparations so that he would not get lost in the spatial turbulence.

Space travel was easier said than done. As for the Sovereign of the Eventide, Yi Yun did not believe that the Sovereign of the Eventide had the ability to reach the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

The Tian Yuan world's warriors did not understand a thing about the 12 Empyrean Heavens' spatial turbulence. The Sovereign of the Eventide's best outcome was probably reaching a smaller world, relatively close to the Tian Yuan world, but it would be beneath the 12 Empyrean Heavens. If he was unlucky, he might end up getting lost in the spatial turbulence, unable to find a way out forever.

Yi Yun wasn’t in a hurry. He entered reclusive training in the valley, and as he meditated over the spatial dimensional laws, Lin Xintong joined him in meditation. They began making the final preparations for their trip to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Now, Yi Yun's nomological insights were solid enough, the only thing lacking was his cultivation level. However, with solid laws, the improvement of cultivation level was just a matter of time.

Seasons passed as Yi Yun spent a long time in the valley.

Not far from the valley, on the boundary of the Divine Wilderness, a magnificent divine city was erected.

The walls of this divine city were already 300–400 kilometers long.

The various major factions of the Tian Yuan world established divisions in the Divine City, while the former Desolate Queen used Yi Yun's name, calling the city "Cloud (Yun) City"!

The heritage provided by Yi Yun, was all sealed in Cloud City's treasury. Other than that, the resources provided by the major human factions, as well as the Desolate race, were also placed in Cloud City's treasury.

The city became a holy land that every human and Desolate race genius longed for.

Many young elites would compete intensely just to receive the qualification to enter Cloud City. However, entering Cloud City was too difficult. Even geniuses from major factions, who gained the qualification to take Cloud City's entrance exams, were eliminated in large numbers later on. The remaining could only become Cloud City's normal cultivators.

Above normal cultivators, there were core cultivators, and the number of people who could become core cultivators numbered not more than ten annually. These ten people could enjoy the best resources and they were able to learn top heritage techniques.

The intensity of the competition when only ten people were chosen from the entire Desolate race and Human race was easy to imagine.

At that moment, in the vast Desolate Lands, a simply-clad girl and a youth, dressed in beast hide, were heading towards Cloud City.

There was a no fly-zone with radius of 500 kilometers around Cloud City. Everyone, regardless of them being Empyreal Kings or royalty, had to walk.

The beast hide-clad boy and girl were in a crowd and they looked inconspicuous.

However, if Yi Yun was here, he would have been able to recognize the two of them. They were the brother-sister duo that Yi Yun had first encountered in Heaven Martial City after coming out of reclusion from the God Advent Tower.

The elder sister's name was Ah Yu, and the younger brother's name was Ah Niu.

Back then, they took an invaluable World Stone to the Li Fire Sect, hoping to sell it. They were nearly scammed by the Li Fire Sect, before Yi Yun bought the World Stone from them. Hence, a conflict broke out with the Li Fire Sect.

After Yi Yun leveled a Li Fire Sect store, the conflict escalated, but it allowed Yi Yun to join the Heavenly Dao Union.

The World Stone was used when Yi Yun broke through to the perfect Dao Seed realm.

As for the siblings, they went to the Lin family to cultivate with Yi Yun's recommendation.

Now, they were headed for Cloud City to participate in the city entrance exams!

They also knew that the Jiang Yidao, who recommended them to the Lin family, was actually Yi Yun, the one who subdued the Black-armored Demon God and killed the Sovereign of the Eventide!

They had met a figure that far surpassed the confines of this world, and he had even given them an opportunity. In retrospect, it all seemed like a dream.

Although they knew Yi Yun, Ah Niu could not use their relationship with Yi Yun to enter the Divine City, so he could only attempt the entrance exams.

Cloud City had been recruiting cultivators for the past few days. As such, it was packed outside Cloud City. The people who dared to come were elites from all corners of the world, and the chances of passing amongst these elites was one in ten thousand. Against these people, Ah Niu felt the pressure, but it also made the fighting spirit in him burn.

He wanted to use his own strength to enter Cloud City!

The Cloud City entrance exams had five rounds. Most people would be eliminated in the first round. People, who reached the second round, were already pretty impressive. Only those who passed the third round could enter Cloud City, becoming ordinary disciples. Those who passed the fourth round were made elite disciples. As for the fifth round, in the three years of Cloud City's establishment, not a single person had managed to pass it.

"Passing the fourth round allows you to study laws with Empyreal Kings and enjoy all sorts of resources. I wonder what is it like to pass the fifth round. Is there a possibility of becoming Young Master Yi and Fairy Lin's disciple?"

At the city gates, Ah Niu heard a youth beside him speaking. His expression looked like he was in reverie, as though he was fantasizing a beauty scene. If one could become Yi Yun's disciple, it wouldn’t be trifling matter.

However, at that moment, someone dampened his enthusiasm by saying, "Stop dreaming. Let's not even mention the fifth round, you can already count your blessings if you were to pass the second round. Furthermore, Young Master Yi has been meditating over laws in recent years, apparently to make the final preparations to head to the 12 Empyrean Heavens. The 12 Empyrean Heavens is something that even Fairy Jiang is temporarily unable to go. You expect Young Master Yi to take us in as disciples? Do you think he will take us to the 12 Empyrean Heavens? How is it possible!?"

Many people scoffed. Becoming Yi Yun's disciple was impossible. However, it was rumored that passing the fifth round would give them the chance to learn top techniques left behind by Yi Yun, including a Dao map that Yi Yun wrote himself, as well as his insights. That was already extremely impressive. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Phew—

Hearing the conversations of these people, Ah Niu took a deep breath as he clenched his elder sister’s hand tightly. "Sis, I must enter Cloud City!"

He was also considered a person that Yi Yun had given pointers to. If he could not enter Cloud City even with that, then he would be too useless.

Just as Ah Niu was having such thoughts—

In the distant horizon, they suddenly saw a golden divine beam of light shoot up into the sky!

This divine beam of light was extremely thick, like a pillar that reached into the heavens!

In the beam of light, there were phantom images of a faint golden bird and a purple nine-headed hydra. They were dancing around with blue lightning bolts flashing around them. Every lightning bolt was like a god's whip, producing an overpowering scene!

This is...

The young disciples, who were waiting to take the entrance exams around Cloud City, were all amazed. The divine beam came from the valley where Yi Yun was in reclusion. It was only several hundred kilometers away from Cloud City.

"It's Young Master Yi! Young Master Yi is…"

Ah Yu and Ah Niu looked each other in the eyes before they saw the sky being torn apart by this beam of light. A black, gigantic swirling vortex opened up in the sky, and it looked like it had devoured the sun.

The vortex swirled slowly as the beam shot deep into the vortex. It was as though it led to another word, extremely deep and terrifying!

Was this the opening of a passage to the 12 Empyrean Heavens?

Everyone stared intently as they saw a faint tiny pagoda slowly spinning, and along with the golden beam of light, it flew into the vortex.

In less than a moment, the tiny pagoda was devoured by the vortex.

Lightning flashed as spatial storms churned. The clouds in the sky had been swept away, and the terrifying energy turbulence shook the hearts of people. Despite them being so far, they still found it hard to breath as their hearts stagnated.

This was the pressure that came from the power of Heaven and Earth, as well as the immense energy consumed when Yi Yun opened the spatial node.

This situation lasted for nearly a minute before the divine beam gradually weakened, turning thinner and thinner.

Following that, the vortex also slowly disappeared. The blue bolts of lightning sank into the vortex and it soon subsided.

Finally, only a thin beam of light was left, blurred in between the Heavens and Earth. It lasted for fifteen minutes before it slowly disappeared. Following that, calm was restored, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Young Master Yi… Has Young Master Yi left...?" Someone asked in a daze.

They had all heard that Yi Yun was apparently heading to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, but as to when, none of them knew.

And today, the sudden tearing of space and Yi Yun's traveling to the 12 Empyrean Heavens happened all too suddenly. Yi Yun, having subdued the Black-armored Demon God and being equal to the ancient Great Empress, had left this world, headed for a even more vast world.

People thought about Yi Yun's legendary life. It was truly like a fantastic dream.

At that moment, hundreds of kilometers away, a girl in a long red dress stood on a tall mountain, holding a bone staff in her hand. She remained silent after seeing the spatial vortex disappear in the sky.

Beside the girl, the former Desolate Queen, dressed in white, sighed as she said softly, "It's time to go back Rou'er. Now is not the time. In time, you can also head there… "

"Alright… "

Jiang Xiaorou nodded her head gently, as she looked away...
