Chapter 1779: Journey
Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: Journey
Qi Hong tried again, but still got no response. "Maybe it hasn’t developed a Divine Sense, or perhaps we haven’t reached the right place yet."
Now it was Gu Ersheng’s turn to frown. "I remember there being several natural arrays outside when I entered here. I struggled to get through."
"The most likely scenario is that we haven’t reached the place you’re talking about yet. Let’s keep going."
The group, including Zhu Huai’en, who recognized Immortal Plants, carefully observed the surroundings. There really weren’t any Immortal Plants, just an ordinary, extremely ordinary, primitive forest.
Tan Shaoting was in the lead, Su Yuanyuan followed behind him, and the couple cautiously observed their surroundings with their Divine Sense, fearing any lurking danger.
An unchanging environment like this can easily instill a sense of fear in people.
Three days later, Su Yuanyuan suddenly stopped, and her Lifebound Sword shot out directly.
In the blink of an eye, darkness fell before them. The place disappeared, leaving them in a rather barren land filled with rocks, where scarce Immortal Plants could be seen.
Even common Immortal Plants are highly valuable now, especially given the passage of time here.
In the spirit of not wasting anything, they gathered them all up.
Gu Ersheng looked around. "This is the entrance."
"Ancestor, you mean the natural arrays are just ahead?" Qi Hao asked.
"Yes."
Su Yuanyuan stared at a rock, and although Tan Shaoting didn’t fully know his wife’s thoughts, he was right about them eight or nine times out of ten.
A swing of the sword, and the rock shattered. The surroundings transformed again. This time, it wasn’t a barren wasteland.
"Mother, what exactly is real?"
"They’re all real."
"All real?" Qi Hao took out the Jade Box they had just collected and saw that the Immortal Plants inside were unchanged.
"Third Uncle, we were just at the door; now we’ve stepped inside."
Qi Hao laughed, "I’m so confused."
Qi Hong had already started gathering. The Immortal Plants here were different from those in the secret realm.
Everyone realized, regardless of what lay ahead, at least for now, they should start collecting.
It truly was a bountiful harvest. Five days later, it could be said that all varieties of Immortal Plants had been collected.
The search for a path continued, as they couldn’t stay here indefinitely.
Gu Ersheng felt a pang of regret, realizing he had no memory of this place. How did he miss the Medicine Garden? Could it be just bad luck?
Qi Hong closed his eyes, communicating with the Immortal Plants. Smiling, he opened his eyes, "Mother."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.
Qi Hong walked leisurely towards an Immortal Plant that looked malnourished.
Squatting down, Qi Hong infused it with immortal power, and to their surprise, the plant began to shake continuously, causing Qi Hong’s smile to widen.
Su Yuanyuan set up a Gathering Immortal Array around it. To sustain this Illusion Array, it naturally appeared more malnourished than the other Immortal Plants.
Everyone saw a door appear in front of them.
The group didn’t linger and proceeded directly towards it.
Once they exited, the door behind them vanished instantly.
"Why didn’t I encounter such a good fortune?" Gu Ersheng remarked, though no one responded, making him feel a bit foolish.
They continued on, observing their surroundings. It seemed like an ordinary mountainside, but the more ordinary it appeared, the more likely it was problematic, as the place was far from ordinary.
Recalling Gu Ersheng’s mention of the natural arrays being a Ring Array, they doubled their caution.
Xiao Ya followed behind her parents. She was the only one in the family who knew nothing about arrays and felt it was an inevitable shortcoming. She resolved to learn more; the current situation was unacceptable.
If the family ever got separated, what would she do then?
Truth be told, Tan Shaoting wasn’t skilled with arrays either, but he forced himself to study them. Even in the Immortal World, he simply memorized Array Maps. He was still clueless about locating Array Hubs.
The group advanced cautiously, while Tian Yan and the others had gathered much information aboard the spaceship, though not the information they hoped for.
Still, it was for the best; since arriving in the Immortal World, they had been extremely careful, having little interaction with other cultivators. Now, with this chance, whenever they spotted someone on the deck, they would certainly appear.
They had learned that they were heading to the Southern Immortal Emperor Realm to attend an auction.
It sounded appealing, but with their level of cultivation, they weren’t qualified to attend. However, there would be a trading event afterward, which was their main reason for going.
Tian Yan wondered to himself if spending three thousand Immortal Crystals just to attend a trading event was worth it. It seemed there were plenty of valuable items or perhaps they hoped for a stroke of luck?
Would there really be so many opportunities for them to exploit? Since they were here, they might as well take a look.
The six of them mostly listened, rarely speaking.
Pishi and Dan Yang weren’t keen on joining in, but Tian Yan objected to them staying on the spaceship. Since they knew nothing, it was better to be cautious.
Although everything here seemed intriguing, the two of them felt indifferent. Now, they just hoped to settle down soon, so they could engage in things they truly enjoyed.
"Up ahead is Black Wind Valley, a very dangerous place," Tian Yan informed them with increasing tension.
"You’re unaware, but decades ago, a Flying Boat passing through Black Wind Valley was robbed. Now, every Flying Boat here carries two Daluo Golden Immortals."
"Haha, they do have guts. This spaceship belongs to the Immortal Emperor Mansion."
Everyone was listening. "What’s really going on?"
"I don’t know the specifics. It’s said that the Immortal Emperor Mansion is closely monitoring this issue. Not many people on that last Flying Boat survived.
I’ve heard that twelve individuals ascended together and survived. They even participated in a secret realm, but what happened afterward, I don’t know."
"Twelve ascended together?"
"Yes, isn’t it enviable?"
Tian Yan realized that these twelve who ascended together must be Su Yuanyuan and her companions.
Knowing they were safe on this route gave him peace of mind.
Now, the question was how to find news of them in the Southern Immortal Emperor Realm.
Suddenly, he laughed, realizing there was no need to search. They must have gone to the East Immortal Emperor Realm after leaving the secret realm.
After attending the trading event, they planned to head to the East Immortal Emperor Realm. Spending Immortal Crystals wasn’t a problem, but they feared being targeted. It felt like they were carrying precious treasures.
Traveling through Black Wind Valley was tense for everyone, but they got through safely. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The rest of the journey was free of robberies, and they safely reached the border.
All six felt deceived, but seeing the others’ lack of discontent, it seemed normal. They figured the journey from the Southern Immortal Emperor Realm to the East Immortal Emperor Realm would be the same.
Their Flying Boat wasn’t the lowest tier, but it was close, hence it drew little attention.
It made conversation more convenient, allowing the six of them to relax.
