Chapter 969 - 325: Mystery

Rumble~~~

In the deep mountains, the rumbling sound echoed like muffled thunder, continuous without end.

Amidst the lush green hills and clear waters, a white waterfall resembled a white jade belt, pouring onto the giant rocks, producing deafening roars.

Whoosh~~

Lin Zheyu swam leisurely in the clear pool beneath the waterfall, his expression relaxed.

It’s no wonder in novels and stories, great leaders often prefer to dwell deep in the mountains and forests.

Apart from cultivation, indulging in the mountains and rivers, admiring the beauty of nature, this carefree and free feeling made Lin Zheyu feel content.

Crackle~~

At the edge of the pool, the wood burning in the campfire crackled.

"If only I could replace this fish with a spirit fish, it would be even more perfect."

Lin Zheyu ate a bites of grilled fish, remarking with a hint of regret.

After gaining strength, having tasted various dishes cooked from spirit fish and spirit beasts, his palate had become refined.

Now, eating mundane food felt like eating childhood snacks as an adult from his previous life.

It wasn’t for the taste, but for nostalgia for childhood flavors.

"Over ten days have passed. Logically, the positioning information should have been sent by now. Why is there still no movement?"

Lin Zheyu glanced at the data in his consciousness, murmuring softly.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 34

Skills:

Heavenly Deceit Skill (Perfection)

Seven Extremes Blade (Fifth Layer: 3%)

Shrink Earth into Inches (Second Layer: 0%)

Primordial Golden Body (Fourth Layer: 31%)

During this time, his source power had accumulated to over thirty.

However, the progress on the second layer of Shrink Earth into Inches still showed no signs of movement.

The difficulty in cultivating the second layer was very high. Without using source power, relying on self-cultivation would take Lin Zheyu at least dozens of years to achieve.

At Lin Zheyu’s current level, cultivating a technique typically required calculating by years.

Since the last time, only over ten days had passed, so no progress was very normal.

If it weren’t for being stingy with spirit stones, Lin Zheyu would’ve planned to directly use source power to enhance it.

Thinking of the immense energy required for enhancement, he decided to wait and enhance it altogether the next time he enters a space-time node.

Free energy should not be wasted.

Rustle~~~

In midsummer, warm winds rustled through the trees.

After eating grilled fish and relaxing his mood, Lin Zheyu took out the array knowledge he had acquired from U Dina for research.

Although he had fully understood the Little Heaven-Deceiving Array, it was due to forcibly comprehending with the golden Celestial Eye.

Lin Zheyu was still only a beginner in the array studies, requiring more systematic and in-depth learning.

Time slowly passed by.

Night fell, and the bright moonlight spilled through the gaps in the tree leaves.

The night vanished in an instant, and the sky grew pale.

The first rays of dawn sunlight spilled from the horizon.

Suddenly.

Lin Zheyu’s eyes abruptly opened, his brows slightly furrowed.

He looked to his right hand, where the azure glass bracelet on his wrist emitted a faint glow.

"Again?!"

Looking at the azure glass bracelet, Lin Zheyu felt speechless.

This constant feeling of being watched was indeed uncomfortable.

If it weren’t for the warnings from the azure glass bracelet, he wouldn’t be aware of when someone was approaching.

"Don’t they care about the spirit stones? Such divination costs must be quite expensive, right?"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but mutter.

He had specifically inquired before; in the realm of cultivation, many sects offered divination services.

The Observatory was one of them.

With the support of the celestial observation array that spread across the Great Wei and in every city.

The cost of divination by the Observatory in Great Wei was the lowest.

They had priced this service at a level other sects could not bear.

Nowadays, within Great Wei, divination services were almost exclusively provided by the Observatory.

But outside of Great Wei, the price soared exponentially based on distance.

Lin Zheyu was currently outside Great Wei, above the East Sea Chaotic Star Sea.

The cost to divine his location was extremely high.

Each divination required over ten top-grade spirit stones.

Such a massive expense, yet they were truly willing to pay.

"Really, if they want my location, they could just give me the spirit stones. I’d report every ten minutes."

"Each report would only cost three top-grade spirit stones."

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but secretly complain, muttering softly.

He slowly stood up, planning to leave and change locations.

Suddenly.

Lin Zheyu’s expression showed a slight surprise.

Turning his right hand, a law disk appeared.

On the disk, a golden light spot was pulsating.

"How coincidental."

Lin Zheyu smiled slightly.

With a slight sway, his figure vanished into the air, disappearing within a few steps.

A quarter of an hour later.

A tall figure slowly emerged from the horizon.

This was a dignified man, handsome in appearance, with a faint trace of arrogance in his brows.

The man’s figure appeared dreamy, integrating with heaven and earth in a unique way.

"Already left, huh?"

Wu Yiyi glanced towards the waterfall, murmuring softly.

He lightly tapped the spirit beast bag with his right hand, a special storage bag meant for carrying spirit beasts, capable of carrying living beings.

Its price was more than ten times that of ordinary storage bags.

Squeak squeak!

A sharp call resounded, and a spirit beast with sleek brown fur appeared beside him, glistening with an oily shine.

Standing only half as tall as Wu Yixuan, the spirit beast, with a sharp snout and monkey-like face, was now at his side.

Its nose was raised high, extending to the top of its head like the horn of a rhinoceros, giving it a bizarre appearance.
