Chapter 397: Guarding, Lu Qing's Decision
Chapter 397: Guarding, Lu Qing's Decision
November 28, 2024
"Ah Qing, what happened in the mountains?"
As soon as Lu Qing returned to the halfway house, the old doctor immediately asked.
Lin Zhirui was also in the courtyard.
Even Wei Shanhai could sense the disturbance coming from the mountains, and those with higher cultivation realms would naturally sense it as well.
"Master, a mystic realm entrance has appeared deep within the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains, and it's still brewing. I estimate that in a few more days, it will stabilize completely..."
Lu Qing briefly described the situation in the mountains.
"A mystic realm entrance? That's a big trouble!"
Lin Zhirui took a deep breath upon hearing this.
He was well aware of the conflicts that had arisen from the appearance of those few mystic realms and heavenly-nest paradises in the Central Land recently.
Not to mention the enthusiasm shown by those two mysterious individuals towards the mystic realms.
If they found out about the appearance of the mystic realm entrance in the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains, they would undoubtedly head there as well.
"It is indeed a bit troublesome. This mystic realm entrance has caused quite a stir, and I estimate that it won't be long before others discover it," Lu Qing nodded.
The spatial fluctuations emitted by the mystic gate could not be concealed.
It was unknown how many people would discover it before the mystic gate fully stabilized.
"Lu Qing, what do you plan to do?" Lin Zhirui asked.
"I'm going into this mystic realm!" Lu Qing replied without hesitation, "So next, I need to do something to delay the spread of news about the mystic realm entrance as much as possible."
Hearing the determination in Lu Qing's tone, both the old doctor and Lin Zhirui were taken aback.
The old doctor looked at Lu Qing and said, "Ah Qing, you want to enter this mystic realm?"
"Yes." Lu Qing nodded, "Master, I can sense that this mystic realm is quite important to me."
"In that case, follow your instincts."
The old doctor did not object and directly addressed Lu Qing.
He knew that since Lu Qing was so determined, he must have given it careful consideration.
"Master, I need to go into the mountains for a few days. I'll rely on you to take care of the village during this time."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
After discussing with his master, Lu Qing returned home. An hour later, a streak of light shot up from the Lu family residence, and he flew towards the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains again.
Upon reaching the valley where the mystic gate was located, Lu Qing immediately retrieved the jade talisman he had left behind earlier.
The jade talisman was one he had refined previously, a shadow copy talisman.
Its main function was to record the surrounding images.
After checking it, Lu Qing discovered that no one else had visited the valley during his absence.
This was not unexpected to him.
Although the fluctuations emitted by the mystic gate were strong, after experiencing five heavenly and earthly resonances, the environment in the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains had already changed significantly.
Even the venomous insects and snakes had become several times more powerful.
Not to mention the miasma and toxic gases...
It could be said that the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains had long become exceptionally dangerous, beyond what ordinary people could venture into.
Even Mortal Realm martial artists, including Mortal Realm Peak martial arts masters, would find it challenging to navigate.
Only those with the innate realm or higher cultivation could possibly withstand such dangers and traverse the area.
However, there were only a few innate realm cultivators in Cang County, and they were all connected to Lu Qing.
Therefore, it was normal for no other cultivators to arrive in a short time.
"Now, let's see how long I can delay this."
Lu Qing found a hidden spot outside the valley and completely blended into the mountain's aura, concealing himself.
"Young Master, are you sure about this plan?" 'Flame' expressed concern, "What if those two mysterious individuals arrive, we might not be able to escape smoothly."
Before coming here, it had already learned of Lu Qing's plan.
It just felt that this move was too risky.
"According to the information from the Celestial Oracle Tower, those two mysterious individuals have been exploring the Mystic Realms in the Central Land recently.
After all, our Cangzhou is just a remote and secluded state, far from the Central Land.
No matter how strong the fluctuations at the Mystic Realm entrance are, they won't reach the Central Land.
As long as I do my best to block the news about this Mystic Realm in the next few days.
There's a great chance that the opportunities within the Mystic Realm can be seized."
Lu Qing's gaze turned cold as he communicated with 'Flame' through soul transmission.
He sat cross-legged outside the valley, and the closer he got to the Mystic Gate, the stronger the attraction he felt from within.
If not for his strong willpower, he might not have been able to resist the urge to forcefully enter.
It was clear that the opportunities within the Mystic Realm would be extremely useful to him.
For such an opportunity, a little risk was worth taking.
Now, they just had to wait for the day when the Mystic Gate stabilized.
...
On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains, two figures were using their movement techniques to advance into the mountains.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light sliced a venomous snake in half, which fell to the ground, writhing frantically.
"The mountains in this remote state have become so dangerous, and the speed of these venomous snakes is almost on par with those in the Viscera Realm."
A middle-aged man holding a short sword looked at the struggling snake on the ground with a grave expression.
"It's been some time since the spiritual energy revived, and our cultivation has improved further. Naturally, these creatures born from the land have also mutated."
Another burly man carrying two short spears on his back spoke nonchalantly.
His gaze was fixed on the depths of the mountains.
"On the contrary, this fluctuation indicates that something unusual is happening in these mountains."
"It seems that some opportunity is about to emerge, Brother Zhou. It looks like our luck is about to change!"
The middle-aged man holding the short sword had an excited look on his face.
The two brothers had originally chosen to travel through the various states outside to avoid the turmoil in the Central Land.
Unexpectedly, they felt the eruption of this strange fluctuation in the remote Cangzhou.
"Don't be careless. This fluctuation covers almost half of Cangzhou, so there must be other powerful cultivators who can sense it."
The burly man carrying the two short spears wasn't as optimistic as his companion.
"What's there to fear? How many Xiantian Realm cultivators can there be in this small Cangzhou?
With our combined strength, even if we don't sweep through the four directions, the cultivators in this remote state won't be able to stop us."
"Come on, Brother Zhou. I can feel that the fluctuation is getting stronger."
At the urging of the middle-aged man holding the short sword, the two quickened their pace and headed towards the source of the fluctuation.
Along the way, although the venomous insects and snakes were formidable, they couldn't hinder the two at all.
Finally, after a hurried journey, they arrived at a valley.
They could feel that the strange fluctuation that had been attracting them was coming from ahead.
"What... is this?"
When they saw the black vortex emitting intense fluctuations in the valley, both of them were stunned.
But in the next moment, a darkness enveloped them.
The willpower of the Xiantian Realm, forged through countless trials, was of no use, and the two instantly fell into a state of unconsciousness.
