“Teleportation array… I’ve never seen it before.” Gu Xi smiled bitterly, “Does Elder Yun still remember the exact location of the teleportation array?”

“Of course.” Yun Zhiyi nodded slightly.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Elder Yun to tell me the exact location of the teleportation array. Consider it as something you’ve done for me.”

Gu Xi cupped his hands. He was afraid that Yun Zhiyi would not agree, so he deliberately brought up Yun Zhiyi’s promise. After all, the matter of returning to the Eastern Continent was too important to him.

However, what Gu Xi did not expect was that Yun Zhiyi slowly shook his head. Then, she smiled and said, “You saved me. How can you repay me with just the location of the teleportation array? Moreover, this teleportation array was not considered a secret at that time. It could even be said that everyone knew about it. As a condition, wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you?”

A look of helplessness appeared on Gu Xi’s face. He did not want to!

The promise of a Great Saint stage cultivator was extremely precious!

“Anyway, after I recover, I will return to the Northern Continent on my own. It would be better for the two of us to travel together then.”

Yun Zhiyi’s short sentence could not help but make Gu Xi’s eyes light up. His heart was even more excited. However, he thought about it and said again, “If that’s the case, then I have another matter that I need Elder Yun’s help with.”

“Oh?” Yun Zhiyi said with interest.

“If I can really return to the Eastern Continent, I would like to ask Elder Yun to help me solve a somewhat troublesome matter.”

Gu Xi said in a deep voice. The matter he mentioned was naturally those sects and forces that he had provoked in the Eastern Continent. Although his current strength had entered the Saint stage, it was difficult for him to fight against all of them.

If he had the support of a big shot like Yun Zhiyi by his side at that time, it was likely that all the troubles would be easily solved!

Subsequently, Gu Xi gave a rough description of this matter.

“Since Young Friend has spoken, there is naturally no reason for me to refuse.”

Yun Zhiyi nodded. Immediately, his body flashed and disappeared from the spot, however, his voice reverberated across the large square. “I have already planted a mark in your body. In the following period of time, I will refine my physical body here. Once everything is completed, I will naturally look for you. At that time, you and I will head to the teleportation array together.”

“Also, as I said earlier, you can take whatever you want from this Secret Realm.”

As his voice sounded, Yun Zhiyi completely disappeared. If it was not for the dozens of treasures that were still not far away, Gu Xi would have thought that he was dreaming.

“As expected of the Great Saint stage.” Gu Xi smacked his lips and sighed slightly. After which, he turned around and walked towards the treasures, sizing them up one by one.

Other than the body refining technique and a heaven-tier array formation in his hands, these other treasures did not attract his interest. However, they were all heaven-tier treasures after all, so Gu Xi naturally would not let them go easily.

Very soon, he chose a spirit tool from among them.

The appearance of this spirit tool looked like a bell. The surface of the bell was engraved with complicated and obscure patterns, and it was as light as a feather in his hand.

Just as Gu Xi was sizing it up curiously, the surface of the bell lit up slightly. Immediately, a stream of light shot into the center of his brows, followed by the information about this item.

“Immeasurable Bell, a mid-grade heaven-tierdefensive spirit tool. It can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain. The strength of its defense is determined by the user’s cultivation stage. The highest it can withstand is a full-strength attack from a Quasi-emperor cultivator without collapsing.”

Gu Xi mumbled with a look of surprise on his face.

The highest it can withstand is a full-power strike from a Quasi-emperor cultivator!

What kind of concept was that? Cultivators who could step into the Quasi-emperor stage could no longer be called human. With a flip of their hands, they could turn the clouds and rain. With a snap of their fingers, they could destroy an area of over a thousand miles!

However, this Immeasurable Bell could still withstand a full-power strike from a Quasi-emperor cultivator!

“As expected of a heaven-tier spiritual artifact. It really lives up to its reputation!”

After keeping the Immeasurable Bell in his bag, Gu Xi smiled with satisfaction. Then, he immediately gave the System an order in his mind, “Extract the Immeasurable Bell!”

[Roger! detected that the Immeasurable Bell has 59,163 flaws!]

[Extraction in progress!]

…

[Extraction complete!]

[The defense of the Immeasurable Bell has increased by another level. It can withstand a full-strength attack from an Emperor cultivator without being damaged!]

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Xi’s face became even more joyful.

It was good to have the System. Not only could it turn waste into a treasure, but it could also increase the effect of an item that was originally a treasure by several times!

Thinking of this, Gu Xi’s eyes could not help but fall on the other treasures. He could not help but want to take all these things away to extract.

However, he quickly suppressed the impulse in his heart. Originally, this opportunity was like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Although Yun Zhiyi said that he could take them as he pleased, if he really took all these things away, it was hard to guarantee that he would not fall out with him.

At that time, this matter regarding the teleportation array would not happen.

It was not worth it, it was not worth it!

Gu Xi shook his head and immediately headed in the direction of the exit of the Secret Realm.

The matter regarding the Secret Realm had come to a temporary end. Gu Xi naturally had to hurry and return to the competition.

According to his calculations, the time of the competition was nearing its end. Moreover, the current points of the Medicine King Valley were far inferior to those of the other sects.

If they did not take any action, the Medicine King Valley would likely end up at the bottom of the competition this time around.

After all, he had promised Wu Nanshan. He could not let him down, right?

Soon, Gu Xi smoothly left the Secret Realm. Along the way, he saw many corpses that had died not long ago. It was obvious that they had accidentally triggered some other mechanism when they were in a hurry to escape earlier.

After leaving the Secret Realm, Gu Xi slightly identified the direction and then quickly rushed toward Safe Zone No. 3.

The first thing he needed to do now was to have a good rest and recover all the spiritual power he had consumed. Then, he just needed to wait for the day the competition ended, and then he could begin his long-planned plan.

Not long after, Gu Xi returned to the town again.

Compared to before the Secret Realm opened, there were not many participants in the town now. Most of the participants were trying to earn as many points or find treasures as they could in the last few days. After all, if they wasted their time now, they could only wait for the next competition to open.

Gu Xi found an inn in the town and checked in. He used a night to recover all the spiritual power he had used previously.
