Chapter 517: Northern Dipper, Celestial Heaven
The purple-robed youth chuckled lightly, not taking Elder Gu's hint seriously. He smiled. "I am at the Nascent Soul Realm and won't make a move against them. My subordinates are also inferior in skill and have no intention of acting. Elder Gu, you needn't worry. We won't harm the business of your Point Star Gate."
Elder Gu nodded slightly at his words, as long as the business of the Point Star Gate wasn't disrupted, it was acceptable.
The purple-robed youth glanced at Fairy Yu and then shifted his gaze to Fang Chen, smiling faintly. "Junior, where do you hail from?"
The Qinghu Ruler and the others felt an extremely terrifying pressure emanating from the purple-robed youth, as if they were ants looking up at a towering mountain. This aura was clearly not at the Golden Core Realm; the person in front of them was very likely a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
Fang Chen smiled faintly. "Are you from Heavenly King Zhen Manor?"
The purple-robed youth nodded lightly.
"In that case, we have nothing more to say,” said Fang Chen, paying the teleportation fee and leading everyone into the formation.
The purple-robed youth was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Fang Chen to be so calm in facing him. Was he confident that the youth wouldn't make a move?
The teleportation formation began to flash white light, and then the aura of Fang Chen and the others disappeared completely.
"Lord Zhao, in my opinion, it's best not to get too deeply involved in this matter," Elder Gu said, his words rife with meaning. "Demoness Yu has condensed the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo and doesn’t have many years left to live. Moreover, she doesn't have the strength to kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. This meant that the person beside her must also have a significant background."
“Getting too deeply involved and accumulating too much karma may be harmful for your cultivation."
"Elder Gu, we follow the Heavenly King Zhen Manor. We are not afraid of karmic entanglement. If possible, I wish to be as carefree as you and not bother with these trivial matters, Elder Gu. But unfortunately, in the world of cultivation, some things are hard to have a say in.”
The purple-robed youth chuckled lightly before leading his group into the teleportation formation. After they were sent away by the teleportation formation, an old man slowly walked up to Elder Gu. "Brother Gu, thank you."
"No need to be polite. Given our past friendship, this small favor is nothing. Besides, even if I didn't intervene, Lord Zhao wouldn't dare to make a move. But may I ask about the background of that young man? How is it possible for him to slay Immortal Seedlings?"
Elder Gu showed a curious expression.
The old man smiled lightly, shook his head, and then walked into the teleportation formation.
"Even the Madman Fang from back then has shown up. I'm afraid many people will have trouble sleeping peacefully," Elder Gu muttered softly.
"We’re almost there?"
Fairy Yu glanced at the Qinghue ruler and nodded slightly. It seemed like the route they had taken was a shorter one, shortening the time a lot.
Fairy Yu transmitted her voice, "My lord, the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land is the official residence of the Central Continent, and it has always been presided over by cultivators in the Upper Three Realms.
“We don't know the relationship between them and Heavenly King Zhen Manor, but they should be on good terms. Official residences usually have formations prohibiting various escape methods, so the Shadow Buddha Technique may not work here."
Fang Chen was slightly surprised. If he couldn't use the Shadow Buddha techniques, he’d find it challenging to do many things. This could prove to be troublesome. He had planned to use this technique to rush into the Greenwood Sect without hesitation.
Fang Chen asked, "Qinghu Ruler, if we take a detour, how much longer will the journey be?"
The Qinghu ruler was surprised. "A detour?"
After pondering for a few moments, she tentatively replied, "It may add several years to the journey. I haven't been to this place myself, so I can't be sure of the details."
Fang Chen's brows furrowed slightly. Several years? That’s too long.
"Lord, how about we don't go to the Greenwood Sect?" Fairy Yu said through voice transmission.
“No, without the Vast Origin Fruit, trouble will keep coming to our door." Fang Chen's gaze hardened as he looked toward the direction of the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land. "Let's go. Even if someone is waiting for us, if they want to block our path, they'll have to pay a price."
Fairy Yu hesitated, wanting to persuade him against this. However, she ultimately didn't voice her thoughts. She didn't dare to say it, nor did she want to. As she said, once they entered the territory, whether it was cloud riding, rainbow transformation, sword control, or even sword transformation techniques, they all failed without exception.
It seemed that, except for specific cultivators, everyone lost the ability to fly freely in this place.
Fang Chen attempted to use the Shadow Buddha techniques but found that an unknown force was interfering and obstructing him from blending into the shadows.
He tried to use his divine soul to explore the peculiarities of the formations here and to observe Gai Hong and others' arrangements. However, he discovered that even his divine soul couldn't leave his body in this place, something he had never encountered before.
Suddenly, the Qinghu ruler’s expression turned into one of shock. She pointed in a certain direction and said, "Fang Chen... look over there....”
Fang Chen and Fairy Yu looked up and saw a giant bronze mirror hanging on a high wall, reflecting their current appearance. Nearby, many cultivators had already noticed them and started whispering to each other curiously.
