Leaving the mountains, continue flying deeper into the forest.
Along the way, countless trees whizzed by.
After entering this realm of illusion and reality, you will feel that the actual area inside is much larger than the range depicted on the map.
“This realm of illusion and reality…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered with bursts of light.
We kept moving forward, with no signs of repetition anywhere we looked.
Every tree, every tree’s glow is unique.
However, after leaving the mountainous region, it was noticeable that…the density of trees gradually decreased.
That is to say…the deeper you go, the fewer trees there are, and the wider the road becomes.
This discovery is quite encouraging.
This suggests that there must be other presences deeper within the forest.
“Brother, how could there be a dragon inside you?” Xia Qiu leaned on Fang Yu’s back and asked in a low voice.
“Why would there be a dragon? It’s a long story,” Fang Yu shook his head, replying, “I’ll tell you later if you have time.”
“You never told me before…” Fang Yu turned to look at Xiaoqiu, saying, “that you could dodge danger on your own.”
“I, I forgot.” Xia Qiu turned her head away, her voice even softer.
This looks a little guilty to me.
“If I had known you could dodge danger yourself, I wouldn’t have put you in storage before.” Fang Yu said.
“I’m sorry, brother…” Xiaogua replied.
“No need to apologize, your master must have taught you this, right? These life-saving techniques are indeed not something you should casually speak about.” Fang Yu smiled faintly.
The little ball nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, “Brother, I saw… in the storage space before…”
“What’s wrong? What did you see in the storage space?” Fang Yu asked, “You can tell me anything in front of me, it’s okay.”
“I saw in there… a thing that was… black, and shining with blue light…” The little ball stammered, fear still evident in its eyes.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
He knew that Xiaoqiu most likely saw the Night Song he had placed in his storage space… which was Lin Xunyu’s body!
At the moment when Lin Xinyin was about to be devoured by the power of causality, Fang Yu used the power of the Ice Tears to freeze his body, and then placed it in the storage space, waiting for the future to have the ability to annihilate the power of causality before unsealing him.
However, the bodies of both Chen Ye and Lin Xinyu were placed in the furthest corner of the storage space. How could the ball see them?
“Who’s that?” Xiaoqiu asked.
“He is a good friend of mine’s child,” Fang Yu replied. “His body has some problems and needs treatment, but I can’t treat him for now, so I can only choose to freeze him temporarily.”
“Oh…” Xiaoqiu actually didn’t understand at all, but he nodded earnestly, looking very mature.
“Whoosh!”
As they talked, they were still rushing forward at a tremendous speed.
The trees you see along the way become fewer and fewer.
After each node, the trees that could be seen suddenly changed.
Seeing this change, Fang Yu immediately stopped.
Behind, Zhe Dan and Hou Wu along with a group of cultivators quickly caught up.
They also saw the change in the trees ahead, and their faces changed.
“Master Fang, it seems like things started changing from here. Have we already left the forest?” Hou Wu asked, his eyes wide with wonder.
“Leaving the forest?”
At a glance, all that could be seen in the distance were dead trees.
But just seconds ago, he could have sworn there were still plenty of glowing trees behind him.
In this case, it can only mean that… we are still within the realm of illusion.
The reason for this change is that we have entered a new region.
Just like the previous Red Spring and mountainous areas.
Here, too, is a large area within the realm of the virtual and real.
However, the changes these trees bring are indeed much more significant compared to the previous two areas.
It’s like suddenly going from a breathtaking fairyland to a barren wasteland, the difference is incredibly stark.
“Keep moving forward,” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
“…Yes.”
Zhe Dan and Hou Wu naturally didn’t dare to object.
Continuing forward, Fang Yu’s speed had slowed considerably. He kept a close eye on his surroundings along the way.
He will stop immediately to check if anything is wrong.
In this way, moving forward all the while, soon there weren’t many dead trees to be seen before their eyes.
Ahead, there was a vast expanse of flat land.
On the plain, some yellowed, withered grass grew.
At first glance, the entire plain was deserted.
“Here, let’s split up and have all the cultivators disperse. Report back to me if you find anything.” Fang Yu turned his head and instructed Zhe Dan and Hou Wu.
“Yes!”
Zhe Dan and Hou Wu immediately ordered their subordinates to spread out and search the plain.
Although they didn’t know what to look for, any anomaly would be a discovery.
Fang Yu, with a ball in hand, walked northward.
On the way, I didn’t see anything strange.
But as I walked, I felt the temperature becoming extremely hot.
And the surrounding light, growing ever brighter, reached a blinding intensity.
Fang Yu looked up, his face changing slightly.
At some point in time, nine red suns unexpectedly appeared in the sky!
The crimson sun hung high in the sky, its rays scattered in no particular order yet radiating a powerful brilliance, unleashing torrents of heat upon the ground.
“It’s so hot here, brother.” Xiaoguo was sweating and scratching her head, her little face scrunched up.
“What’s going on? These red suns didn’t exist at first…” Fang Yu frowned.
“It’s so hot…” Little Ball fanned himself with his hand.
Fang Yu immediately released a wave of frigid power, enveloping himself and the sphere.
This instantly kept the heat out.
The little ball let out a long breath and looked up at the sky, his face twitching slightly.
“How can there be nine…”
She suddenly stopped, her brow furrowed.
Fang Yu also raised his head and stared intently at the nine red suns in the sky.
He wanted to see the original shape of the rising sun through the external aperture.
But just then, the little ball suddenly stomped its foot.
“Me, I remembered! I recalled what Master had told me a long time ago! I’ve been here before!” Xiaogua said urgently.
But hearing this, Fang Yu immediately lowered his head and looked at Xiaoguang, asking, “Xiaoguang, what do you remember?”
“Master brought me here last time too, and I saw these nine red suns… Then, I remembered why Master was looking for that corpse…” Xiaqiu replied.
“Why?” Fang Yu immediately asked.
“The Master wants to destroy that corpse… He said that the corpse currently doesn’t seem dangerous, but it could pose a disaster to humankind in the future, so it must be destroyed to prevent any future harm…” Xiaoqiu said in broken sentences.
“What is that body?” Fang Yu asked.
