Chapter 527: The Teleportation Channel Shatters

Shangguan Wan’Er was also full of anticipation for this journey.

Ever since she was young, she had dreamed of leaving the Southern Wilderness to pursue the path to the Martial Arts Peak.

A few days ago, Shangguan Wan’Er had spoken with Lian Shuang and learned that the Divine Wilderness was vast. Not only was it home to countless experts and a gathering of prodigies, but it also held many ancient ruins.

In the Divine Wilderness, the reach and power of some supreme experts were heaven-defying, making them terrifyingly stronger than Kun Hai or Emperor Tang.

There were all sorts of geniuses there. Some possessed a Divine Body, with a physique so powerful it was comparable to a Supreme Treasure.

Others had a Fire Vein within them, granting them astonishing Power that allowed them to spew endless Fire Flame!

There were also Great Demons whose outstretched wings could block out the sky and sun!

***

In short, the Divine Wilderness was an exceptionally vast Martial Arts World.

It was hundreds of times larger than the Southern Wilderness!

This made Shangguan Wan’Er inexplicably excited.

Shangguan Wan’Er was naturally filled with anticipation, now that she could venture into this vast Martial Arts World with Ling Fei.

As for Lian Shuang, she had nothing holding her back in the Southern Wilderness.

For her, venturing out with Ling Fei would also be a good experience.

BUZZ!

Suddenly, the airflow within the spatial tunnel raged like dancing thunder serpents, and an astonishing wave of energy began to churn.

The fluctuation was so soul-shaking it made one tremble.

They could even see the sky outside through the spatial Qi Vortex.

It was a stretch of gray haze. Thunder serpents danced across the sky, their boundless might seeming to hail from Ancient Times, as if unleashed by a Divine Demon.

“This… Where are we going?” The terrifying energy fluctuations filled He Tianming and Zhao Fan with dread inside the Qi Vortex.

“This fluctuation is a bit terrifying!” Ling Fei frowned. ‘Are we really headed for the Divine Wilderness?’ he wondered, utterly astonished.

A fluctuation this terrifying felt more like a journey to a Divine Demon World than to the Divine Wilderness!

“This aura belongs to the Divine Demon Sea. We are currently traversing the Void above it. I hope we can pass through this region safely.” After a brief moment of sensing their surroundings, Lian Shuang frowned. “The Divine Wilderness and the Southern Wilderness are separated by the immeasurably vast Divine Demon Sea. An ancient Divine Demon Seal exists in the sky above it.”

Anyone trying to travel between the two lands using a Teleportation Array would inevitably trigger a bit of the Divine Demon’s Sealing Power.

This, in turn, made the teleportation more dangerous.

Because of this, many people could not travel safely from the Divine Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness.

It was only because the Sealing Power had weakened recently. Otherwise, using an Ancient Teleportation Array to travel between the two lands would have been a suicide mission.

‘Above the Divine Demon Sea?’ Hearing this, Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened. He was holding Shangguan Wan’Er’s hand, with Lian Shuang by his side.

But as the terrifying fluctuations intensified, he grew worried and glanced at Lian Shuang.

Lian Shuang seemed to sense his gaze and looked back at Ling Fei.

However, she said nothing, merely staring at him.

“This spatial tunnel is unstable. We should look out for each other so we don’t get separated.” Seeing Lian Shuang just staring at him silently, Ling Fei’s eyes flashed, and without any hesitation, he spoke.

“Mm,” Lian Shuang nodded. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and a rare, shy blush appeared on her cheeks.

At the same time, her heart began to pound wildly. Ling Fei’s words gave her an inexplicable Heartbeat.

‘At least this young man hasn’t forgotten about me!’

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Fei reached out his right hand and took Lian Shuang’s slender hand.

Lian Shuang’s hand twitched. A jolt like an electric current shot through her from her palm, making her feel weak all over. Her hand struggled instinctively for a moment, but she quickly pursed her red lips. After a glance at Ling Fei, she stopped resisting and instead squeezed his hand tightly.

After taking a firm hold of Lian Shuang’s hand, Ling Fei focused his attention on the path ahead.

‘I hope we can reach the Divine Wilderness safely!’ Ling Fei thought to himself.

However, the fluctuations ahead grew stronger and stronger. He could even see flashes of Thunder Light that looked like they were about to rip the spatial tunnel apart.

BANG!

Thunder Light flashed, shattering the tunnel ahead, which was then immediately repaired by the spatial energy.

But the resulting shockwave sent Ling Fei and the others flying backward.

“This isn’t good. The Void is unstable! If this continues, something terrible will happen!” Ling Fei’s eyes flashed as he looked at Shangguan Wan’Er and Lian Shuang. “How about you two stay in my space?”

“Okay!” Shangguan Wan’Er and Lian Shuang both answered without hesitation.

By staying inside Ling Fei’s Dragon Bone Space, they could at least remain with him.

Otherwise, if something really went wrong with this teleportation tunnel, it would be difficult for them to reunite.

WHOOSH!

With a thought from his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei activated the Dragon Bone, pulling Shangguan Wan’Er and Lian Shuang into the Dragon Bone Space.

Inside the Dragon Bone Space were Yiyi and the Golden Eagle.

“Senior Brother He, Senior Brother Zhao!” After settling the two women, Ling Fei turned his gaze to He Tianming and Zhao Fan inside the teleportation tunnel.

He hesitated.

The Dragon Bone Space was one of Ling Fei’s biggest secrets and shouldn’t be known by too many people.

Even though He Tianming and Zhao Fan were his senior brothers and they had a friendly history, who could guarantee the future?

So Ling Fei hesitated. The Dragon Bone was just too important.

BANG!

Just as Ling Fei was wondering whether to pull them into the Dragon Bone Space, a flash of Thunder Light ahead directly pierced through the teleportation tunnel.

Once the spatial tunnel was pierced, the path ahead was completely submerged in a sea of lightning.

HUM!

With a muffled explosion, the teleportation tunnel violently collapsed. Ling Fei and the others were swallowed by a spatial Qi Vortex and began to plummet downward.

They were caught in a terrifying turbulence!

AHHH!

He Tianming and Zhao Fan screamed in terror.

‘There’s a problem!’ Ling Fei’s expression was grave.

The next moment, his body was engulfed by the Qi Vortex. His vision went black, and the turbulence felt like sharp blades, threatening to tear him to shreds.

***

This was a vast and boundless world.

Here, the sky was covered by a curtain of light. Although it was as bright as day, neither the sun nor the moon could be seen.

This was a mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

The mountains were connected, dotted with many caves formed from piles of giant rocks.

These caves exuded an ancient and weathered aura.

At the center of the mountain range was a colossal mountain, ten thousand zhang tall.

On its peak was a huge pool, and in the middle of the pool stood a massive stone.

This stone was about nine zhang high. It was milky white and smooth as jade, yet it emanated a holy aura.

A hazy mist swirled above the great stone, coalescing without dispersing, like a blossoming Divine Dawn that inspired reverence in all who saw it.

Upon closer inspection, one could see many ancient patterns on the stone.

These patterns intertwined like the very patterns of the Great Dao, and the sacred aura emanated from them.

In addition, there was a groove running down the front of the great stone, in which a trace of a crystalline, jade-like, and extremely viscous liquid had accumulated.

This liquid gave off a mellow fragrance that refreshed the mind and spirit, just like a Holy Medicine.

In fact, it was indeed a Treasure Medicine, formed over countless years from the essence contained within the Divine Dawn radiating from the great stone.

The liquid was like Stone Milk, and it took nine hundred years to condense a single drop the size of a fingernail.

At this moment, the Stone Milk was gathering in a groove on the stone’s lower ledge, about to form a full drop.

And right then, a milky-white Jade Bottle was placed on the ledge, perfectly positioned to catch this drop of Stone Milk for medicinal use.

Around the edge of the pool were men and women, young and old, all dressed in ancient-style animal hide clothing.

Leading them were seven elders.

These seven elders wore magnificent robes, their beards and sideburns white with age. A powerful aura emanated from them.

The one in the center was especially formidable. Light flickered in his eyes, and the might he exuded was chilling—clearly surpassing even Kun Hai.

Even the six beside him were incredibly powerful.

However, tucked under the lead elder’s arm was a child of about six years old!

The child was chubby and adorable, like a finely carved jade doll.

However, his body contained an astonishingly immense Power.

That Power came from his bloodline and his soul. The pressure from his bloodline and soul was actually comparable to that of the seven elders beside him.

But right now, his gaze was slightly dazed. He stared blankly at the great stone ahead. In his Gemstone-like eyes, there was not a trace of the Spiritual Qi a child should have. This was a stark contrast to the astonishing aura he radiated.

Behind them, many more elders and youths were gathered, their faces burning with excitement as they gazed at the great stone.

Amidst this fervor, there was also a hint of piety.

WHOOSH!

As the Stone Milk gathering in the groove of the great stone was finally about to form a single drop, some people couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Others had excitement shining in their eyes.

“Our clan’s Holy Stone Milk is finally about to form!”

“The Holy Stone Milk! It’s a Holy Medicine that can perform Washing Marrow and Sinews and temper the Divine Soul! A single drop can cause a complete rebirth and build a Divine Foundation. It’s the treasure of our Stone Race, possessing miraculous medicinal effects! If the Young Master takes this Holy Medicine, he’ll surely be able to open his Spiritual Aperture, build his Divine Foundation, and lead our clan to glory!” As the Stone Milk was about to form a drop, many in the crowd murmured with excitement.

“The Young Master is exceptionally talented. At birth, he inherited our Stone Race’s Supreme Dao Pattern and can even communicate with the power of the Holy Stone. His strength surpasses that of many elders. Unfortunately, he has yet to speak like a normal person and remains in a muddled daze, as if his Spiritual Aperture is unopened, which has kept his Cultivation Realm low. If he opens his Spiritual Aperture, he will surely become the most dazzling genius our Stone Race has seen in seventy thousand years!”

The disciples of the Stone Race by the Holy Pool all sighed with emotion, their hearts heavy as they looked at the child who resembled a finely carved jade doll.

But now that the holy milk was about to form, if the Young Master were to consume it, surely it would change his current situation, right?

At this thought, the disciples of the Stone Race breathed a secret sigh of relief, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked toward the Holy Stone.

“The world is about to change. Perhaps our clan will soon be able to leave the Divine Demon Sea and reappear in the world. If Little Shi Tou opens his Spiritual Aperture, he will become the genius of our younger generation with the best hope of atavism—of becoming a Divine Spirit. Then, our Stone Race can reclaim the glory of the Ancient Era.”

At this moment, the Old Shi Ren’s gaze shifted. He couldn’t help but gently stroke the head of Little Shi Tou, who was tucked under his arm, his heart filled with a swirl of emotions.

This child was the hope of the Stone Race. A chosen one of heaven, he had surpassed many others from the moment of his birth, yet his life was also fraught with hardship.

The six elders beside him were also filled with anticipation, all hoping the Holy Stone Milk could help Little Shi Tou open his Spiritual Aperture.

BUZZ!

Just as the drop of Holy Stone Milk finished forming in the groove and was about to fall into the Jade Bottle placed below, the Void suddenly trembled.

WHOOSH WHOOSH!

Then, a vast Celestial Might erupted. Thunder flashed and electric serpents writhed across the sky. The sight was terrifying to the extreme.
