Chapter 781: Ten Thousand Cities Refuge (5)

Coupled with the auspicious prediction from his Infinite Divination Skill, Shen Bai decided to go check it out alone.

Hao Dao Ling pondered for a moment, then said, “Since Lord Shen has said so, I won’t insist on joining.”

He knew Shen Bai had his own plans. In fact, everyone understood. At their current status and position, they would ask for help directly if they needed it. Since Shen Bai didn’t need help, he definitely had other intentions.

Shen Bai cupped his fist and said, “Lord Hao, I’ll take my leave now.”

Now that a Refuge had been discovered, Shen Bai was naturally eager to go check it out right away.

Especially after hearing from Red Makeup that there might be Deceitful Objects inside, Shen Bai couldn’t hold back his excitement.

He wasn’t short on Evil Qi at the moment, but he was desperately in need of Deceitful Objects. If he could convert a few more, it would be an absolute gain.

Hao Dao Ling didn’t try to keep him, but he personally escorted Shen Bai to the door, showing his respect.

Only after Shen Bai had soared into the air did Hao Dao Ling return to look after his son.

…

After leaving the Government Office, Shen Bai paid a visit to the Observatory to bid farewell to Yu Li Xuan. Then, he activated Divine Thousand Miles, transforming into an afterimage and speeding toward the river Hao Shi had mentioned.

In mid-air, Red Makeup’s voice sounded.

“Master, its creator is a mighty expert who manipulates Space. Hao Shi must have stumbled upon it by accident. I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to find the entrance once we’re there.”

Riding the wind, Shen Bai laughed. “Red Makeup, have you forgotten about my Storage Technique?”

Red Makeup paused for a moment, then it dawned on her.

The Refuge was created by a mighty expert of Space, but her own master’s attainments in Space were also not low—in fact, they were quite high.

A Refuge that was difficult for others to find shouldn’t be a problem for her master.

The two said no more. With the Speed of Shen Bai’s Divine Thousand Miles, it didn’t take long for him to reach the river.

Ahead was a small river, shimmering under the moonlight.

By the light of the moon in the sky, Shen Bai could see that the river was exceptionally clear.

After landing beside the small river, Shen Bai activated his Void-breaking Red Eye, enveloping his entire surroundings.

Under the coverage of the Void-breaking Red Eye, Shen Bai didn’t detect anything unusual.

‘The one who made this has extremely high attainments in the Spatial Domain. Of course it can’t be seen through with ordinary methods.’

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body, activating the method of the Yin Yang Storage Skill.

After Shen Bai activated it, everything before his eyes changed.

In his vision, there was an anomaly above the surrounding river water.

Layers of Space were stacked together, creating a terrifying spatial dislocation.

There should have been an entrance here, but under the influence of the spatial dislocation, its location was completely distorted by the Power of Space.

Anyone passing through here would traverse the area of spatial dislocation and be completely shunted aside by Space.

“Impressive.”

Even with his own ability in the Manipulation of Space, Shen Bai couldn’t help but praise it.

Fortunately, his Yin Yang Storage Skill was at Level 5. Just finding an entrance wouldn’t be a problem for Shen Bai.

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body, then tapped a point in the empty Space before him.

Under the touch of Shen Bai’s finger, the layered Space immediately began to return to normal.

In less than a few breaths, a canyon appeared before his eyes.

The canyon was massive, and the Space within it was extremely vast.

Without hesitation, Shen Bai drew Cold Moon from his waist and stepped inside.

The rift behind him vanished, and the Space returned to its distorted state. Shen Bai was no longer by the river, but within the canyon.

Inside the canyon, flowers bloomed everywhere, and birds even soared overhead.

Everything seemed vibrant and incredibly real.

‘It really is a hidden paradise.’

Shen Bai thought to himself as he looked at the beautiful scenery around him.

Compared to the scenery of Lingyun Dao where he was from, even Lingyun Dao’s most beautiful sights seemed slightly inferior.

“Master, this is without a doubt the Refuge. I can feel the aura of the Era of Ten Thousand Cities,” Red Makeup said in Shen Bai’s mind.

Shen Bai nodded. “In that case, let’s go see if this Refuge has what I’m looking for.”

He said no more and began to walk deeper inside.

The birdsong and fragrant flowers could make one lower their guard.

But under the watch of Shen Bai’s Void-breaking Red Eye, nothing could hide.

After walking a few hundred more steps, Shen Bai stopped.

‘It’s here.’

Not far ahead, a thirty-foot-tall figure appeared.

Looking closely, he saw a giant, white-furred ape with its maw wide open leap down from the canyon wall.

The giant ape landed on the ground and, without the slightest pause, let out a furious roar directly at Shen Bai.

As the roar sounded, an invisible wave began to spread out.
