"Ning'er."
Ah Liang looked at Qiu Ning with deep affection and called out in a very cheesy way.
"Liang... Brother."
At this moment, Qiu Ning was like a girl in love, extremely shy in front of her lover.
"That's so cheesy, it gave me goosebumps."
Yi Shuihan watched his two disciples gaze deeply into each other's eyes, then slowly lean closer before finally giving up and leaving. He wasn't a single dog; he didn't eat the single's meal.
In his personal world, Yi Shuihan's return was met with hospitality from the women. For several days, Yi Shuihan did not leave his room, and the most romantic human symphony continued to play.
......
"Master, are you still there? Master."
"A desolate planet," Yi Shuihan shouted.
"What's all the noise about? I just fell asleep."
"Master, I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving this world."
"Okay, then be careful and keep a low profile outside. Your strength is too weak; there are many who could kill you out there."
Only a powerful figure like the Dragon God would say that Yi Shuihan is weak. In fact, with Yi Shuihan's current strength, he is not weak no matter where he goes and can live a good life.
"Um, Master, you know I'm weak and it's dangerous for me to go out. As your master, shouldn't you give me a few magic treasures to protect my life? I don't need many, just give me a few Chaos Spiritual Treasures. If you don't have Chaos Spiritual Treasures, innate supreme treasures will do too!"
"Chaotic spiritual treasures? Primordial treasures, you can think of them? No, not a single one."
“Master, that’s not right. Even if it’s an avatar, you’re still a Saint. You can say you don’t have Chaos Treasures, but how could you not have Innate Treasures? Anyway, you’re not in danger here, so why not give me the treasure? You don’t want to see me perish outside, do you? If I perish, I won’t be able to deliver a message to the real Master.”
"I said I didn't have any, so I didn't. I only have one dragon scale. Do you want it?"
"Of course I want it, how could I not?"
A golden dragon scale, about the size of a palm, materialized from the void, and Yi Shuihan grabbed it in his hand.
Yi Shuihan could sense the immense power contained within the dragon scales. He felt that if this power were to be unleashed, even a saint would not be able to ignore it.
After putting away the dragon scale, Yi Shuihan looked up and noticed that her master's face was a little pale. She understood that this must be the price for giving away the dragon scale. She was very moved and her sense of identification with her master increased a lot.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, you'll be fine after a few hundred years of rest. But you, you must be careful out there."
"Master, please take care too."
After chatting about everyday things for a while, Yi Shuihan parted ways with the Dragon God.
"Holy Spirit, travel through time."
"Ding, time travel confirmed. Time travel countdown: ten, nine..."
A golden door materialized before Yi Shuihan. Taking a deep breath, Yi Shuihan opened the door and stepped inside.
The figure didn't even enter the door before it turned into golden particles and vanished without leaving a trace.
Chapter 987, The World of Continental Blocks
"Is it a new world again?"
Standing atop an unnamed peak, Yi Shuihan felt none of the excitement he usually felt upon arriving in a new world; he felt somewhat weary.
"How long will this kind of life last? This kind of life of constantly traveling to new worlds and getting stronger, I might be a character in some of these stories, and there are quite a few people watching this one right now."
He shook his head violently.
"Have I gone mad? How could I have such thoughts? My experiences, my life, all of this must be real. Even if it's fake, as I keep getting stronger, one day I'll say it's real, and then it will be real."
"Next, we need to determine the nature of this world and see if there are any opportunities. The path to sainthood has been largely paved, and I need to accumulate the necessary foundation for sainthood's breakthrough."
With his portable world, Yi Shuihan's bottleneck to advancing to Quasi-Saint was almost gone; it would break with just a gentle push. However, the Saint realm was a completely different story.
It can be said that the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Saint is greater than that between Silver and Gold. Although Yi Shuihan's journey has been relatively smooth and has not taken much time, his own expectation for himself is only to break through to the Saint level within 100,000 years. Keep in mind that he has been cultivating for less than a thousand years.
"Below the sage, all are ants"—Yi Shuihan had heard this saying countless times when he was still an ordinary person.
Yi Shuihan now knows that this statement is not true. Once you reach the Golden Realm, which is the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Immortal Path, you can control your own destiny. As long as you don't court death, you won't die.
Even if the world were to repeat itself, a Great Immortal would still have a certain chance of surviving.
The reason why sages are sages is that they have transcended the river of time and the river of fate. Time has no meaning for them, and the Heavenly Way cannot control their destiny. They have evolved from pawns into players.
Such beings, unless killed by an equal or stronger being, can be said to be eternal.
"Boom."
Suddenly, thunder roared overhead. At first, Yi Shuihan thought it was just an ordinary thunderstorm, but when he felt himself being targeted, he realized that the thunder was aimed at him.
"Have we been targeted by the will of the world, or rather, the Heavenly Dao of this world?"
Before I could even sort out my thoughts, lightning struck down with astonishing force.
"Unfortunately, thunder is useless to me."
Yi Shuihan let the thunder strike him without reacting at all.
This lightning, powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal, was strangely absorbed when it struck Yi Shuihan, having no effect whatsoever.
For Yi Shuihan, who possessed the divine power of tribulation lightning, this lightning was like a tonic.
After striking nine times, realizing it couldn't harm Yi Shuihan, the lightning finally dissipated.
“Holy Spirit, what is going on? Did you not cover for me?”
"Only after being baptized by thunder will the master be recognized by this world and be able to unleash gold-level power. This is the rule of this world. If you are not baptized, once you unleash this power, you will be targeted and thunder will still strike you."
"I see."
Nodding, Yi Shuihan accepted the system's explanation, but he also became somewhat wary. The previous worlds were never this powerful. The fact that the system acted according to the other party's rules this time revealed that the system's ability could not completely conceal Yi Shuihan's aura, which indirectly highlighted the strength of this world, at least stronger than the previous Dragon Ball world.
Yi Shuihan came here seeking opportunities, so naturally the stronger the world, the better. If he went to a weak world, it would be useless and a waste of the world. Therefore, after learning about the strength of this world, Yi Shuihan was not worried at all, but rather excited.
"This should be a world of continents, but there is chaos on the continents."
Yi Shuihan soared into the sky, originally intending to see how big the planet beneath his feet was, only to discover that what he was standing on was not a planet, but a flat continent. And this continent was so large that Yi Shuihan could not estimate its exact size at all.
Above the mainland, Yi Shuihan experienced a layer of gale-force winds, then a layer of thunder and fire, and finally faced chaos.
"Could this be some kind of prehistoric world? Or is it simply a prehistoric world?"
Since he had already encountered chaos, Yi Shuihan abandoned the idea of leaving and landed back on the earth.
The continent is truly vast. Yi Shuihan flew for several days without seeing any signs of human habitation, only some beasts. These beasts were also quite powerful, at least at the bronze level, and silver level beasts were frequently encountered.
"The world is too powerful, that's the downside. The space is too stable. We used to be able to move through space at will, but now we can't, it consumes too much energy."
Yi Shuihan briefly tested his abilities in this world and discovered that the power required to use them was more than 10 times that of the Dragon Ball world.
After flying for several months and living like a wild man, Yi Shuihan finally saw signs of human habitation, a place resembling a barbaric tribe.
When he saw people, Yi Shuihan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least this world wasn't devoid of people; it wasn't a world entirely composed of non-human races.
"The hunting party is back, with lots of game."
"Great! With so much prey, we won't go hungry this winter."
"I heard that no one died this time. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
A group of people who looked like warriors carried various wild beasts into the tribe amidst cheers, and the entire tribe was instantly filled with laughter and joy.
"Starving? Are you kidding me? They're at least bronze-level people, and they're starving?"
Yi Shuihan couldn't help but be surprised, because it's natural to abstain from grains once you reach a certain level of cultivation. For those at the Bronze level, abstaining from grains is nothing special; they don't need to eat at all. These people in front of him clearly have reached the Bronze level, yet they still need to eat, which is somewhat illogical.
"So that's how it is. Their strength is mostly physical, with only rudimentary traces of cultivation. They don't have the ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to abstain from grains."
After observing for a while, Yi Shuihan finally discovered the reason.
Chapter 988, Obtaining Basic Information
Information obtained solely through guesswork is unlikely to be comprehensive; the simplest approach is to inquire and communicate with others.
Yi Shuihan changed into a Taoist robe, tidied his clothes, and then walked out from behind a tree, appearing in the sight of the group of tribesmen.
"Hello, I am..."
"whoosh"
Before Yi Shuihan could finish speaking, a spear flew from the hand of a tribal warrior toward him. It was fast and filled with killing intent, aimed at Yi Shuihan's vital parts. If Yi Shuihan did not dodge, the spear would pierce through his heart.
"Wow, does it have to be this brutal?"
While inwardly cursing, Yi Shuihan gently reached out and easily caught the spear. The cold touch of the spear and the smell of blood filled the air. This spear had undoubtedly ended countless lives; it could already be called a murder weapon.
Yi Shuihan's move had already demonstrated his strength. The warrior who threw the spear changed his expression slightly, and his gaze toward Yi Shuihan was filled with vigilance.
The victorious soldiers drew their weapons and prepared for battle, and the atmosphere suddenly became somber.
"Put down your weapons, he is not the enemy."
Just then, a middle-aged man with a powerful aura stepped forward, sized up Yi Shuihan, and then spoke.
It seems there's some misunderstanding.
Yi Shuihan watched silently. The soldiers hesitated and lowered their weapons at him. However, Yi Shuihan could sense that they had not completely let their guard down. Their muscles were tense, and they could attack at any moment.
"What exactly is wrong? Is it my outfit or my appearance? If it's just xenophobia, then this reaction is too radical. You attacked before I even finished speaking."
Suddenly, Yi Shuihan noticed that the children and women were looking at him with hatred, and this hatred was not directed at him personally, but rather at his clothes.
"Clothes? Could it be that they have a grudge against Taoists, or that they hate the person who wears these clothes? It doesn't necessarily mean they are Taoists."
The man referred to as the captain shouted loudly at Yi Shuihan at this moment.
"I don't know if you are a person from the Central Region. A few days ago, some people dressed similarly to you said they were from the Central Region and were heading towards the Broken Blade Mountains. They said that a secret realm in the Broken Blade Mountains has been opened and they are going there to seek opportunities."
When the captain spoke of those from the Central Region, a flicker of fear and hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Zhongyu?"
Seeing that he had never heard of the name and that these people were not welcoming to him, Yi Shuihan abandoned his original idea of infiltrating the tribe and directly activated his Time Domain, using memory search on the captain.
After a short while, Yi Shuihan had gained a preliminary impression of this world.
This captain's strength is only Bronze. Although he is about to break through to Silver, he is still Bronze. His strength is still relatively weak compared to the rest of the world. After all, this world is stronger than the Dragon Ball world and must have saint-level beings.
Because of his weak strength, he naturally lacked knowledge and understanding, and his knowledge was limited. He didn't even know the composition of this world.
From the captain's memories, Yi Shuihan knew that their tribe had lived here for generations, and the area where they lived was called the Wilderness. In addition to their tribe, there were tens of thousands of tribes of all sizes in the Wilderness, most of whom made a living by hunting.
The captain only learned about the so-called Central Region from those who claimed to be from it; before that, he had no idea that the Central Region existed.
According to those people, this wilderness is a remote corner compared to the Central Region, equivalent to the countryside. If it weren't for the emergence of a secret realm in the Broken Blade Mountains, those people from the Central Region would never want to come here.
Those from the Central Regions called these people barbarians, their words filled with contempt. When they stayed in this tribe, they killed dozens of tribesmen over a trivial matter. They were powerful, and the tribe was powerless to resist. In the end, it was only by the tribe's chief kneeling that the tribe was spared.
This is also why the tribal warrior reacted so strongly when he saw Yi Shuihan.
"Interesting. This attire must be from a certain sect, and their cultivation levels are all silver, with the elder leading them approaching gold."
From the captain's memories, Yi Shuihan could only make a preliminary judgment about those people's cultivation levels, but that was enough.
Yi Shuihan also learned that the place he had descended upon was the depths of the wilderness, a territory entirely belonging to wild beasts.
It took two months to emerge from this wilderness, which speaks volumes about its size. Although Yi Shuihan only flew slowly during the day and rested in his personal world at night, he didn't rush at full speed.
Yi Shuihan had gained some understanding of the cultivation system of this world. Ordinary people who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation could begin cultivating the Blood Condensation Realm after undergoing the Qi Ling (awakening) and Bloodline Condensation. The Blood Condensation Realm had nine levels, from the first to the ninth. This captain was a powerful expert who had reached the ninth level of Blood Condensation and was close to the Heavenly Ascension Realm.
In the entire tribe, apart from the captain, the strongest was the chief, a powerhouse at the first level of the Sky-Treading Realm. The Sky-Treading Realm is divided into three levels, and the standard for the first level is being able to fly in the sky. As for the second level of the Sky-Treading Realm, the captain didn't even know what it was. In any case, their tribe had never had a powerhouse of that level before.
It is worth mentioning that even those who have cultivated to the Heavenly Stepping stage will feel hungry and need to eat, otherwise they will starve to death.
You should know that this so-called "stepping into the heavens" realm, according to the system's standard realm, is probably considered to have reached the silver level. In some worlds, it is the existence of a god. It is simply unbelievable that it still needs to eat.
Without lingering in the tribe, Yi Shuihan headed towards the Broken Tooth Mountain Range. The secret realm sounded promising, and he naturally wanted to get involved. Furthermore, Yi Shuihan planned to return to the Central Region with the people from the Central Region, as the Central Region was indeed the center of this world, if things went as expected.
Several days later, Yi Shuihan arrived at the so-called secret realm. To his surprise, this so-called secret realm turned out to be a small world, which looked incredibly impressive.
Chapter 989, The Unparalleled Smile
Outside the secret realm, there were seven people, clearly separated and not standing together, indicating that they did not belong to the same faction.
Among these seven people, Yi Shuihan saw the old man who led the team in the captain's memory, the most powerful among the group of people from the Central Region, a being close to the Gold level.
"Could it be like what's described inside, where a few major sects control a secret realm, and the realm can only accommodate beings below a certain level? Once they exceed that level, it will collapse. So they agreed to send their own elite disciples in to seek opportunities."
