Chapter 1767: So Generous, Ulterior Motives?

Chapter 1767: Chapter 1067: So Generous, Ulterior Motives?

In fact, among these people, they were all accustomed to solo missions, like Yi, Li Luo, or Ye Zixu and Yao, for example.

“Before planning the group assignments, whether to go or not is up to you,”

Gu Sansi had just finished speaking, and the group all stood up.

“Those too weak shouldn’t go,”

Gong Jiu immediately rolled his eyes, “I’ve reached Cloud Ascendant.”

Everyone was surprised, and upon closer inspection, he really had reached Cloud Ascendant.

This is… so fast!

“Although, our foundation, Flower Fairy and I, isn’t very solid, but at least we are veterans. Sui Yi has sorted out our bodies many times and taught us martial arts along the way. As the saying goes, thick accumulation enables thin eruptions, when fully fed, you grow fast…”

The full sense of bragging made Bai Yu and a few others chuckle, but she herself had only just reached Cloud Ascendant, feeling a bit shaken being overtaken by some juniors. She felt more and more that she should head to the Outer Domain Battlefield to hone her skills.

After compiling a list with the cultivation levels, everyone found that those who were originally Void-breakers had already reached Cloud Ascendant. Meanwhile, those like Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, who cultivated the fastest, originally with the weakest foundations like Ye Changan and Su Zimu, were now close to Cloud Ascendant, and Fatty Gao, who initially accompanied the Crown Prince to study, was a bit behind, but not far off, because Gu Sansi had been paying attention to them since the beginning, guiding their cultivation and muscle alignment. Cloud Ascendant wasn’t far for them.

“If we’re going, let’s all go together. I’ll use the leftover materials I have to open a high-intensity training formation for you, which would condense years of training into ten days or so… Reaching Cloud Ascendant isn’t hard, once everyone has reached it, we can go together..”

Everyone was shocked.

What kind of formation is this powerful?

“Never used it before,” Gong Jiu, being a social lubricant, had good relations with everyone, and Gu Sansi also quite liked this silly guy who had stayed true to Sui Yi from the beginning, so she smiled, “It’s something Sui Yi taught me before she left. She had only just mastered it, and the necessary materials are hard to gather… Now, I’ve just barely collected enough for one set, but once we reach the Outer Domain Battlefield, there are many precious materials, and we can exchange within the field….”

No need to say more, those present had been cultivating for a decade or two, and naturally understood what this meant.

Bai Yu laughed, hugging the High Priest’s thigh was really rewarding… Cultivation was like drinking water, and life was interesting…

But she needed to work hard, or she’d be caught up by her apprentice.

Xiao Yu, like her master, preferred adventure and excitement, not liking a stale life, having no challenges left on Earth, which felt like a cage to a martial artist yearning for higher realms.

But Gu Sansi’s attitude had always been clear, she was with Sui Yi and also with the High Priest, and Gong Jiu and Flower Demon didn’t need to be mentioned, but for those like the Imperial Guards, or The Gate people, or Yao, they didn’t truly belong to the Zhiyuan Mansion faction, so Gu Sansi’s arrangements were obviously to place them outside…

Of course, they couldn’t just say — I want to be Sui Yi’s people.

Some things, even if you wanted, others might not accept.

Let’s just watch the actions.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and certain arrangements were steadily advancing.

Elsewhere, the day Sui Yi left, she wasn’t seen off by Gu Sansi and her group.

Even Yan Jingan and Shi Feixuan didn’t see her off, the Twin Queens had already been instructed by Sui Yi about certain arrangements, to prevent Sui Yi’s trail from being exposed, so they didn’t come either.

But someone still came to send her off.

There were many routes to the Three Realms Origin, official ones, private ones, dangerous ones…

Sui Yi chose the most private and dangerous small path through a spatial rift.

It was located in the most secluded mountainous nook in the 5th Administrative District.

Desolate and quiet.

Sui Yi stood before that cave entrance, pausing, and looked at the two people emerging from the forest.

..Brother and sister of Xing Yuanye.

Passing acquaintances, merely a nodding relationship, just a casual favor.

Yet the siblings always remembered it.

Even knowing the other party was the High Priest, they were both cautious and used a safer form of address.

“Mr. Sui”

Sui Yi looked at Xing Yuanqing, “You didn’t have another nightmare, dreaming of me coming here, did you?”

Xing Yuanqing shook her head, “Not at all… I just had a feeling that you would inevitably head to the Three Realms Origin.. so…”

So you waited here?

Sui Yi noticed the lingering aura of the two in the area and knew they had been here for quite a while.

Just to send her off?

Such loyalty.

“The Mysterious Evil within you has already fused with you, your cultivation will advance rapidly in the future, but also focus on refining your mindset, or you’ll risk backlash,”

Xing Yuanqing nodded, “Mr. Sui, take care…”

Xing Yuanye didn’t interrupt the conversation between the two, and when they finished talking, he handed over a small booklet in his hand.

“Perhaps you won’t need it, but just in case, this is what I’ve compiled, some information about within the Three Realms Origin..”

It’s certainly useful, Sui Yi had previously learned of the Outer Domain Battlefield from Zhi Yuan, but she didn’t have much acquaintance with him and was busy afterwards, so she hadn’t inquired further. Xing Yuanye, however, was different, coming from the highest echelon of the Dragon Ape World, serving as a deputy under the Dragon Emperor, holding much intelligence, especially of various Star Domains, which few knew….

This booklet was very valuable.

Sui Yi accepted it.

The siblings took their leave, as they saw another person.

In the icy world, it could only be the Ice Venerable.

“Not very likable… why just the siblings… where are the beauties?”

Carelessly, with a hint of a smile that’s more than a smile.

“They all have deep feelings for me but haven’t come, yet you did. Could it be that your feelings are deeper?”

Sui Yi effortlessly deflected the question, catching Ice Venerable’s glance.

“Are you really the High Priestess?”

“Yes.”

“Was Shen Zhiyue seduced by you?”

“…No.”

“Without seduction, you still hooked up? Truly flirtatious.”

“…”

Who was flirtatious? Shen Zhiyue? Or…

Sui Yi well understood this person’s cold exterior and proud interior, merely raising an eyebrow.

“So, why did you dare approach me? Feeling empty, lonely, and cold?”

The moon shining beautifully, the poetic and picturesque High Priestess asked so calmly…

Feeling empty, lonely, and cold?

Ice Venerable: “…”

All that gentleness before was just an act, right?

Strength reveals such… aggression.

Though Ice Venerable rarely jested, merely watched her for a while, saying, “Not cold, but perhaps lonely.”

Sui Yi fell silent.

This person…

“But I’m not concerned about you, only about the fish I raise in the future. Who will help me feed them…”

She seemed genuinely regretful, yet spoke ambiguously…

“Don’t die on the Outer Domain Battlefield… That place, Heavenly Venerates aren’t invincible.”

Sui Yi nodded, “Alright.”

“I’ve never seen anyone off before, but today I’ll send you off… Go!”

Ice Venerable slightly lifted her chin, cold and proud.

Sui Yi turned and, before leaving, cast a beam of light while entering the cave.

Ice Venerable caught the beam, feeling its warmth, revealing a palm-sized ice bone fish flute. Did she instantly form the ice into the bones of a Heavenly Venerate’s fish and craft it into a flute?

It must have been just a moment’s work.

Such formidable ice magic.

Yet, on the flute… there were many engravings…

Ice Venerable watched intently, gripping tightly.

The ultimate essence of ice magic?

It could allow her to break through to a Heavenly Venerate…

This gift is truly immense.

“Such generosity… Are you trying to seduce me?”

Ice Venerable, who rarely smiled, always appeared indifferent and cold as ice, but at this moment, she smiled.

Her smile was solitary and stunningly beautiful.

There are many entrances to the Three Realms Origin; it was mentioned before, yet also noted that the Three Realms Origin differs from the Dimensional Realm and other Star Domains, with its space having two strategic borders.

The Dragon Ape World is a transit hub, leading into the Three Realms Origin. It forms the foundation for the Human Race, is expansive but not the core… However, its vastness helps the Human Race thrive, expanding continually, but it’s not only inhabited by Humans.

Surrounding it are smaller Star Domains, or internally connecting with other races’ territories. Conflicts arise ceaselessly, each side seeking to deplete the Human Race’s foundation and stifle its growth, thus the Outer Domain Battlefield emerged.

The Three Realms Origin is separated from other Small Fragmented Jade Worlds by a wall within Midland, towering and ancient, with numerous holes. Mistake one for another, and one might find themselves anywhere; perhaps you’ll reach a peaceful Human territory, or perhaps an alien race’s domain, or maybe directly into the slaughter-filled Outer Domain Battlefield.

But for Sui Yi, it’s no trouble at all. She has the power of choice, using Magnetic Sensation to discern paths, opting for the Outer Domain Battlefield destination easily, especially since the booklet she holds details various routes in its first pages, one directly to the battlefield.

As she hastens her journey, she’s engrossed in the booklet and time passes…

——————

The terrain of the Outer Domain Battlefield is extremely eerie and unpredictable; perhaps the area ahead is barren scorched earth, but the next moment it could be a water marsh. Perhaps you just passed under the scorching sun, but the next moment you’re in a frozen snowy land.

Yet most regions are desolate and filled with the battlefield’s chilling slaughter and bone-burying solitude. Here, the dirt only comes in three colors: starting with yellow, turning to red, and then black. The wild grasses tower above humans, the barren lands crack with deep valleys, danger approaches swiftly, and death is but a blink away.

In the taller-than-three-or-four-people wild grass area, the grass stems are like scythe blades, the width of a fingernail, capable of slicing through the Void-breaker’s tough skin if carelessly encountered. Passing through at high speeds, it can chop a Void-breaker into chunks of flesh…

At this moment, a creature with a horse’s body and a ghostly head walks leisurely upon bowl-sized hooves across the yellow sands, slowly reaching the nearby grass pile, placing down the person clamped in its jaws.

This Desolate Beast is enormous, with the strength of two giant laughing elephants, majestic in stature, its skin showing shades of grey-white mixed with some black, patterned with blotchy plum marks. Its surface shines like polished marble, resembling a porcelain horse, with the skin’s hue akin to stone—if one disregards the massive ghostly head, which is larger than a hippopotamus’s, bizarre like a goblin, hideous indeed.
