Chapter 365: 365 Star Luo Pocket Universe
“Just like that, he’s dead?”
Yun Qian’s heart was shocked to its core, leaving him clueless about how to react.
He had never imagined that Gu Yang could actually kill the terrifyingly powerful elder in charge of punishment.
After all, according to rumors, his breakthrough to the Unleaking Realm only occurred a month ago.
No matter how formidable his power was or how glorious his past achievements were, how could he be a match for the elder in charge of punishment, who was in the third layer of the Unleaking Realm?
Yun Qian was just moments ago in a tight spot. The appearance of Gu Yang was his last straw.
He just hoped that Gu Yang could fend off the elder in charge of punishment for a while so he could take the opportunity to whisk Yi Yi away, leaving a last sliver of hope for the Heavenly Saint Sect.
The result, however, was that Gu Yang had killed the elder in charge of punishment effortlessly within moments. The elder did not even get a chance to escape.
Yun Qian couldn’t fathom how powerful Gu Yang was.
It should be noted that the elder in charge of punishment was two realms higher than him, and his martial arts was restrained. But he managed to escape in a desperate situation, whereas the elder did not even get a chance to fight back against Gu Yang.
Everything had happened so fast that Yun Qian had not been able to react. He hadn’t even gotten a chance to savour the joy of revenge.
Suddenly, Gu Yang turned his gaze toward him. As his eyes met Gu Yang’s, he subconsciously lowered his head.
It was a mark of respect for the strong.
At this point, Yun Qian no longer had any other thoughts. Faced with such a powerful being, all he could do was cooperate.
After all, Gu Yang had killed the elder in charge of punishment, avenging his deep grudge.
…
Elsewhere, Yi Yi was standing in stupefaction, gazing at the familiar yet strange figure. Recalling the efforts he made over the past year in order to vindicate his past shame, he suddenly felt like a joke.
The showdown from more than a year ago may as well have happened yesterday. Back then, their abilities were on par.
But one year had gone by, and the figure in front of him had surpassed him so much so that he couldn’t even see his back.
The disparity between them was as wide as a gulf.
His feelings were complicated to the point of extremes. His mind was in a whirl, and he did not know what he was thinking about.
…
Gu Yang looked at Yun Qian. “I hope the big secret you spoke of is something valuable to me.”
He came to receive his reward.
Yun Qian, struggling to stand up, told Yi Yi, “You wait for me over there.”
Yi Yi nodded woodenly and walked over to a spot more than ten meters away to wait.
When only the two of them were left, Yun Qian started speaking. “I know the entrance to a Pocket Universe.”
Gu Yang’s eyes lit up. A Pocket Universe indeed held great value.
The premise was that this Pocket Universe was none of those he already knew of.
The entrance of the Pocket Universe is in Star Province,” Yun Qian continued. “You should be aware of the value of a Pocket Universe. In the past, Lin Tianyi achieved the Celestial Being Realm in that Pocket Universe.”
If it’s in Star Province, it definitely isn’t any of the five Pocket Universes he knows.
This was definitely profitable.
A Pocket Universe is a new place to replenish energy.
Right now, be it the Water Moon Pocket Universe, Yellow Springs Pocket Universe, or the West Bank Continent, he had provoked Celestial Being Realm experts. Once he went to these places, there would soon be Celestial Being experts knocking on his door.
In the Golden Court Pocket Universe, it was a bit better. The ruler of Golden Court was open to negotiation. But hunting other countries’ immortals needed time, and time was what he lacked right now.
It was the same in the Ruiqin Continent. He had killed several Beastmasters of the Unleaking Realm. Their teachers must surely remember him.
In the Ruiqin Continent, there existed a teacher-student succession system among Beastmasters. The relationship between the teacher and the student was very tight, similar to the master-student relationship in the Great Zhou.
If a student was killed, most teachers would take revenge.
Especially in his case, having no background in the Ruiqin Continent, there was no burden in killing him.
Hence, the emergence of a new Pocket Universe was definitely good news.
But——
“Isn’t Star Province Chen family’s territory? How could Lin Tianyi have achieved the Celestial Being Realm in a Pocket Universe in Star Province?”
This was a point that Gu Yang was curious about.
Or rather, it was a doubt.
Yun Qian explained, “The histories of the Lin and Chen families are deeply intertwined. Their ancestors were disciples of the same sect. When the Qin Dynasty reigned, the two families were virtually as close as one.”
“It is not surprising that Chen family would inform Lin family when they discovered a Pocket Universe.”
“Moreover, when Lin Tianyi was surrounded and attacked by everyone, the ancestor of the Chen family did not lend a hand. This was not because he ignored the situation. Instead, he was trapped in that Pocket Universe.”
“Without any Unleaking Realm experts left, what could the Chen family use to save the Lin family?”
Gu Yang was aware of the story about the falling out between the Chen and Lin families. However, he didn’t expect there to be such a tale behind it.
He was curious, “How do you know about this secret?”
“To be honest, my Dao companion is a Chen.”
So that was it. No wonder Yun Qian could escape the notice of the Red Moon Great Saint. He took refuge in a powerful faction like the Chen family. Even if he hid in a Pocket Universe, the Red Moon Great Saint’s divine powers couldn’t track him down.
Yun Qian added, “This Pocket Universe, known as the Star Luo Pocket Universe, houses a powerful sect named Star Luo Sect. Its power is formidable.”
“The ancestor of the Chen family has been trapped there for over five hundred years. The Chen family has sent many people into the Star Luo Pocket Universe in an attempt to locate their ancestor, but none have returned.”
