Chapter 1612: Chapter 1608: Visitors

The four middle-aged figures in yellow robes landed at the site where their two fellow sect members had fallen and began to examine the area.

After looking around, a chubby middle-aged man in a yellow robe took out a compass from his chest.

A bright yellow, three shades brighter than the yellow robes they wore.

Palm-sized, perfectly round, fitting snugly in the palm.

The compass was engraved with densely-packed small characters and scales, extremely intricate.

The chubby man in the yellow robe exhaled, his hands tensed slightly.

The compass glowed faintly, and the densely-packed characters and scales slowly rose to the surface, ascending into the air.

Supported by the bright yellow light, they floated up to two meters high, then began to enlarge.

They enlarged and enlarged until they formed a bright yellow compass with a diameter of ten meters.

This bright yellow compass was condensed from the bright yellow light, somewhat hazy and blurred.

The compass slowly descended, landing precisely at the location of the two corpses, using them as the center.

The four middle-aged men in yellow robes stared intently at the bright yellow compass, at the needle at the center of the compass.

This needle resembled a longsword, gently trembling, as if it were alive.

At times, it pointed south, at times west, then south again, then east.

They were utterly confused.

"What’s going on?" a thin middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Could it be blocked?"

"It shouldn’t be blocked." The chubby middle-aged man shook his head, "If it were blocked, it wouldn’t move at all."

The world is vast and full of wonders.

They had seen such a spiritual artifact before, that blocked the Chasing Evil Compass’s tracking.

"Then what’s the matter?"

"Could it be that there’s more than one killer? Several of them, scattered apart?"

"That’s possible."

"So what do we do? There’s no way to determine the exact direction."

"Hey, look!" The thin middle-aged man suddenly pointed to the sky.

The four looked up.

The sky was as clear as jade; three golden-winged white eagles were weaving among the clouds.

They looked back at the bright yellow compass on the ground.

"That’s right, they’re the killers!" the chubby middle-aged man said hatefully.

"Senior Brother Shi and the others actually fell to these three beasts?"

"It seems they’re not ordinary eagles; we have to be careful."

"How do we deal with them? They fly too high to reach!"

"Since they killed Senior Brother Shi and the others, they’ll surely want to kill us too."

"Indeed, they probably kill humans on sight, don’t they?"

"Hate humans!"

"How despicable, these three feathered beasts, we should slaughter them for soup!"

"It should be quite nourishing."

"They’re coming!"

"What?"

They frowned.

The three golden-winged white eagles initially dove down towards them.

But halfway through, they suddenly stopped and, once again, slanted upwards, ascending further and further away.

This left them speechless.

Exchanging glances for a good while, the chubby middle-aged man said, "Did they run because there are more of us?"

"How do these beasts know our strength?"

"Senior Brother Shi and the others were three, and we’re four, so these beasts thought they couldn’t beat us?"

"Seems like Senior Brother Shi and the others frightened them."

"So what do we do? Chase after them? ... They should have a lair, right?"

"Yes, track them to their lair and silently slaughter them!"

The compass formed from the bright yellow light was still there, though it was gradually becoming blurry.

The chubby middle-aged man tightened his grip on the compass again, concentrating and operating his power.

The gradually blurring bright yellow compass shadow became solid and clear again.

The needle of the compass pointed in a direction.

"Let’s go!" they flew up.

At this time, Chu Zhiyuan had already moved the entire Dragon Mountain into the Inner Universe.

When the last pile of soil and rocks entered the Inner Universe, the Inner Universe trembled slightly.

This tremor was almost imperceptible.

The creatures within the Heaven and Earth hardly noticed anything unusual, but Chu Zhiyuan felt it deeply.

In an instant, a vast enlightenment emerged in his heart, a mysterious insight into Heaven and Earth and everything in the world.

In that moment, the world seemed to shrink infinitely, shrinking again, as if he stood in the void, overlooking the operations of Heaven and Earth.

He felt like he had become the Lord of Heaven and Earth, witnessing all the operational trajectories of the world.

When he awakened from this peculiar state, he discovered that the sun hanging high in the Jade Sea and Sky had become unbearably scorching, akin to a real blazing sun.

This strengthening of the sun was synonymous with the strengthening of his spiritual power, having ascended to a higher level.

His eyes lit up slightly, clear and profound.

Under the activation of the Divine Eye, the approaching four middle-aged men in yellow robes became ethereal in his eyes.

The True Yuan within their bodies formed bands of light.

This was precisely the operational routes of their mental techniques.

The bands of light within their bodies varied in width and brightness.

By analyzing these differences in width and brightness, one could discern their levels of cultivation.

His Divine Eye narrowed slightly, and with a slight movement of his mind,

the figures of the four began to retreat from his vision.

Retreating from the air back to their original position, then step by step retreating, from the Divine Domain, back to Yangyun Heaven, back to the Guangsheng Sect, all the way back to when they first entered the world crying from the womb.

He realized that this was akin to performing the Donghuan Saint Technique.

Moments later, his eyes returned to normal, he shook his head, and disappeared from sight in a flash.

When the four’s gazes fell in this direction, Chu Zhiyuan happened to vanish, remaining unseen.

Chu Zhiyuan then appeared in front of the Cave Mansion of the Elephant Beast, observing this side through the Divine Eye.

At the same time, he sensed Heaven and Earth, feeling the void of the Divine Domain.

He felt that he had approached the Eighth Transition significantly.

This inevitably sparked a thought: once Dragon Mountain had been completely assimilated, could he step into the Eighth Transition?

The Elephant Beast was on his left shoulder, its tail gently swaying, with its eyes forming golden lines as it spoke in his mind: "These four are tougher."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"But they don’t have things of the Divine Race," the Elephant Beast said.

"Hmm." Chu Zhiyuan nodded again.

These four were stronger than the previous three, after all, not all Perfect Venerables were equal, there were varying strengths.

Yet, though these four were strong, they posed no threat to him.

Because without the Bihua Sword, without a similar Divine Race artifact like it, they couldn’t threaten him.

The Elephant Beast said, "They also won’t be able to handle the Golden-winged White Eagle."

Chu Zhiyuan continued nodding.

This bright yellow light-formed compass was marvelous, but not powerful enough to threaten the Golden-winged White Eagle.

The spiritual artifacts they carried were two swords, not enough to threaten the Golden-winged White Eagle.

So their fate was sealed.

When they passed through Dragon Mountain, they glanced at what had become a basin, finding it peculiar, yet they paid no heed.

All their heart and spirit were focused on the lair of the Golden-winged White Eagle, with True Yuan circulating, quietly storing energy in preparation for a fierce battle.

The best outcome would be to secretly approach and strike to kill in one blow.

If they couldn’t approach secretly, then they would resort to a frontal assault.

"Hmm?" The chubby middle-aged man halted abruptly, staring blankly at the sky.

The other three also paused, looking up, seeing six golden-winged white eagles in the sky.

"Six of them!"

"Damn it, they’ve called reinforcements!"

"What do we do?"

They all wore grim faces.

If there were three golden-winged white eagles, they were confident, but with six, they had no confidence.

"Can these four survive?" the Elephant Beast asked.

"They can survive," Chu Zhiyuan replied.

"They won’t die?" the Elephant Beast asked, "Can they withstand six Golden-winged White Eagles? Impossible, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "They have reinforcements."

"Reinforcements won’t help, right?" the Elephant Beast said.

They couldn’t withstand the attack of Golden-winged White Eagles, and even if there were ten of them, it would be the same.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Their reinforcements are Spirit Venerables."

"Can Spirit Venerables hold them off either?" the Elephant Beast questioned.

Chu Zhiyuan stated, "Spirit Venerables armed with top-tier spiritual artifacts."

Through his Divine Eye, he’d seen their future, seeing the Spirit Venerable from the Guangsheng Sect.

"How does this Spirit Venerable compare to you?" the Elephant Beast expressed surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "Not as strong as I am now, only a little weaker than I was previously."

He then pursed his lips slightly, "Here they come."

The Elephant Beast’s eyes, forming the golden line, contracted and expanded several times, witnessing the arrival of the Spirit Venerable, exclaiming in surprise, "A woman?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He hadn’t expected that the formidable Spirit Venerable from the Guangsheng Sect would be a woman.
