Chapter 807: Chapter 805: Seizing the Opportunity

"Let’s keep going. There are still normal people further back.

"Actually, as for some of the weirder ones in here... uh, some of them actually lost bets with others outside, which is why they deliberately act like this.

"For example, some geniuses who don’t want to engage in bloodshed outside, or for various other reasons, come here, change their forms, and purely just have a match.

"There are also those who lost in competitions and have to turn into embarrassing forms here, like pigs or dogs."

...

"Look, someone is selling treasures here.

"As long as something catches your eye, a deal can be reached very quickly.

"And that cloud—it’s actually transformed by a cultivator to comprehend the mysteries of clouds."

As they went further in, the number of normal-looking people increased. Xu Yang, however, found it hard to forget the sight he had just witnessed. It was simply too bizarre. Truly, the vast universe was full of boundless wonders and oddities. However, this place was quite interesting.

Xu Yang looked up at a cloud floating in midair, drifting slowly with the surging wind. A thought struck him.

"Mr. Liou, does taking on any form here truly have miraculous effects on comprehending Divine Techniques?" Xu Yang couldn’t help but ask.

Liou Sanqian replied, "I wouldn’t say miraculous effects, but this method can certainly serve as a crucial catalyst.

"The ultimate treasure reflecting this space is extremely top-tier even across the Eastern Continent. It is the Heaven’s Edge Pavilion’s All Heavens Divine Universe Plate. Any transformation here can correspond to all kinds of entities in the real world, providing the most authentic experience.

"Ten thousand years ago, this ultimate treasure, the All Heavens Divine Universe Plate, was fought over by more than a dozen experts at the Golden Immortal Extreme Realm. Many perished in the end, and it was later claimed by a powerhouse of the Heaven’s Edge Pavilion."

Xu Yang was secretly astonished. He, however, thought of the Immortal Slaying Rain. If he transformed into rainwater within the Void Realm, according to this logic, it should also help him comprehend its profound mysteries.

"Within the Void Realm, every region also has a stronghold of the Heaven’s Edge Pavilion, guarded day and night by Pavilion cultivators. If you need anything, you only need to call for them through the Heaven’s Edge Order."

Liou Sanqian suddenly stopped. Xu Yang looked up, and right before his eyes stood a Heaven’s Edge Tower, identical to the one in Celestial Sword City.

"But there is nothing worth visiting here." Liou Sanqian smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Xu want to experience teleportation?"

"Sure." Xu Yang readily agreed. Since it was his first time here, he wanted to familiarize himself with the place first. So far, everything here made him feel a sense of novelty. Many aspects were truly satisfying. The mere fact that it could aid in comprehending cultivation held a massive temptation.

"Mr. Xu, channel your Heaven’s Edge Order. Wherever you want to go, just silently recite the location’s name with your Primordial Spirit."

"Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley."

"Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley?" Liou Sanqian was slightly taken aback. That was one of the formidable forbidden lands of the Eastern Continent. Although it held fortuitous encounters, it was also extremely dangerous. Xu Yang had just arrived in the Eastern Continent; why would he go to such a place? Could it be...?

Xu Yang explained with a smile, "I have an agreement with Liou Xueyan. Word is that she is currently in the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley. I wonder if I can run into her in the Void Realm."

"I see." Liou Sanqian thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

The next moment, the two of them vanished simultaneously from their spots.

In the Void Realm, at the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley.

A four-colored dark cloud enveloped the sky and earth. From the outside, it looked like a bizarre demonic ruin, exuding a heart-palpitating aura. The dark clouds above were clearly divided into four distinct sections, corresponding to the Four Symbols. Demon Evil Valley covered an immense area. At this moment, several figures were wandering around its edges.

Not far away, Xu Yang and Liou Sanqian appeared out of thin air.

"We’re here. This is the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley.

"However, although it is reflected here, this place is a forbidden land. It only has the form without the substance, and it is impossible to step inside it," Liou Sanqian said. "Another benefit of the Void Realm is that if you are trapped in a deadly perilous place and cannot escape, you can enter the Void Realm directly to send out a distress signal. Alternatively, while trapped, you can communicate here and gather information from the outside world."

"Not even a forbidden land can affect the Void Realm?" Xu Yang was shaken.

"In the entire Eastern Continent, aside from the locations of the top-tier Immortal sects, the only place that can affect the Void Realm is the Starfall Immortal Ruins.

"The Starfall Immortal Ruins is extremely dangerous. Throughout history, countless mighty Immortals have perished there. Furthermore, it is eroded by falling stars, existing almost entirely enveloped within the origin of the black and white starry sky."

"Impressive," Xu Yang marveled, then swept his gaze over the several figures outside Demon Evil Valley. There were those with the appearance of cultivators, as well as massive Immortal beasts.

"Oh, that is the eleventh-ranked genius on the Dragon and Tiger List, Song Tianlin," Liou Sanqian said, recognizing one of them.

"You actually recognize him, Mr. Liou?" Xu Yang was slightly surprised.

"Hehe, Song Tianlin comes from the Shanyang Academy. Being ranked eleventh on the Dragon and Tiger List, he also has an illustrious reputation in the Eastern Continent. He rarely disguises himself; his few appearances have always been in a form enveloped by a mass of black fog.

"This person’s temperament is fairly mild. If Mr. Xu wishes to inquire about Liou Xueyan’s situation, you could go ask him.

"Who knows, Liou Xueyan might even be among these people."

It was predictable that most of the individuals here were geniuses who had stepped into the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley. Within the forbidden land, dangers lurked in every corner, making it difficult to encounter others. But it was different in the Void Realm. They could communicate and cooperate with each other here.

Xu Yang’s expression turned serious as he darted forward. Several cultivators noticed the movement and turned their heads to look.

Xu Yang headed straight for the cultivator shrouded in black fog. "May I ask if you are Song Tianlin?"

Song Tianlin’s pupils shrank slightly. The purple radiance lingering around Xu Yang was truly eye-catching. The Purple-level Heaven’s Edge Order. Only the top ten on the Dragon and Tiger List possessed it. Aside from them, it was basically only held by those at the Golden Immortal level or individuals with special statuses. It was by no means ordinary.

"I am. What is it?" Song Tianlin said indifferently.

"Do you know if Liou Xueyan from the Northern Continent is inside the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley?"

"She is.

"However, her situation might not be going so well." Song Tianlin took a deep look at Xu Yang. Unable to guess his identity or background, he calmly said, "During the Starry Extreme Night, she snatched a fortuitous encounter from the Vajra Sect and even provoked several Golden Immortal experts. She was forced into the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley.

"Although I haven’t run into her, several conflicts inside were related to her.

"While Liou Xueyan’s strength is formidable, she may not be able to walk out of the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley safely."

Xu Yang’s heart skipped a beat in shock. The Vajra Sect went without saying; it was one of the seven top-tier Immortal sects, the Ancient Lotus Vajra Sect. Its top genius, Situ Ke, was at the Golden Immortal Realm and ranked seventh on the Dragon and Tiger List—one rank higher than her.

Liou Xueyan was truly audacious. However, he could understand. With a fortuitous encounter right in front of her, why would she care about anything else?

"Who are you?" Song Tianlin suddenly asked.

Xu Yang replied mildly, "Just a nobody. You wouldn’t have heard of me."

"Hmph." Song Tianlin couldn’t help but let out a cold snort and flicked his sleeve, walking away. At the same time, three other figures disappeared simultaneously alongside him.

Xu Yang gazed at the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley without much worry in his heart. Since Liou Xueyan hadn’t triggered their contract, he had no need to help her. This woman was naturally proud and arrogant; she wouldn’t seek anyone’s help unless she was hanging by a thread between life and death. Besides, with his current strength, even if he entered the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley, he might not necessarily be able to help her anyway.

With this thought, Xu Yang planned to leave.

At this moment, a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old suddenly walked over.

A little girl?

Xu Yang felt vigilant inside. What she actually looked like in reality was unknown. She could even be a white-haired old man or an old woman.

"You know Liou Xueyan? And you said Song Tianlin wouldn’t have heard of you, which means you should also be from the Northern Continent, right?" The little girl stopped several zhang away, looking Xu Yang up and down with curiosity as she spoke.
