Chapter 27: The Secret Realm of Beiyin Mountain (Part 2)
There were two palaces, one forged entirely from multicolored divine jade, illuminating half the sky with a brilliant glow, while the other was forged entirely from lapis lazuli, solemn and majestic, truly magnificent and domineering.
Without flags or banners, it was impossible to tell which faction or sect of the Qian Kingdom these people belonged to.
The two forces seemed to be wary of each other, each occupying one side and returning to peace.
This was just a small episode. Everyone knew that more and more sects and forces would come in the next few days.
Seven days later, the heaven and earth shook, and a thousand-foot-long ray of light burst out from the distant end of the earth.
Everyone inside and outside Danqing City was alarmed. At the end of the earth, the sea of air surged, lightning and thunder flashed, as if a ferocious god had awakened from his slumber and opened his murderous eyes!
"Here it comes! The secret realm of Beiyin Mountain has reappeared from the void, and the passage is about to open!" Some big figures of the older generation are watching closely.
At the end of the horizon outside Danqing City, many huge and blurred outlines of mountains and rivers appeared like a mirage, which was extremely spectacular.
According to the elders of Heming Sect, this is only a part of the scene reflected in the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain.
"Young men! The secret realm of Beiyin Mountain has reappeared in the world since today. You may get opportunities and fortunes that can change the direction of your life, or you may die without a complete body. The weight ratio of rewards and risks is directly proportional. This is the test given to you by the ancient saints! If you want to achieve something, you must endure the baptism of blood and war!" An old man's voice shook the sky.
At the end of the earth, there was a vast expanse of white, with terrifying energy fluctuations surging. The entire world was shaking violently, and a huge light gate appeared.
"The passage to the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain has been opened, you can enter!" someone shouted.
People from all forces set off, some standing on flying swords, some controlling various magic weapons, turning into long rainbow shadows and rushing towards the sky. It was a huge black mass, and it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people!
Gu Chi and the big black dog followed at the back. Only when everyone had passed through the light gate did they slip in.
After the brief feeling of weightlessness passed, the man and the dog fell heavily to the ground, and a gust of humid air rushed towards them.
They were teleported to a small island, surrounded by the endless ocean, with blue waves connected to the horizon.
"The rumors are indeed true. Although the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm has the word 'mountain' in its name, the key word is 'secret realm'. This place is a world of its own, with boundless territory. Any area here would be comparable to a country in the outside world."
While Gu Chi was amazed, he glanced around and took in the surrounding environment.
On the endless blue sea, the small island with a radius of only a hundred feet seemed lonely.
Tens of thousands of people were teleported in, but it was like a drop of water entering the ocean. There wasn't even a shadow of a living person around.
Gu Chi took off the sect token from his waist and injected his magic power into it, but there was no response. There were only two possibilities.
Either none of their fellow disciples from the Heming Sect were teleported to this sea area, or this sea area was simply too vast. Even if some fellow disciples were teleported here, they would still be very far away from them.
"It's better this way. I don't have to fight to the death right from the start."
Gu Chi took out the long-lost Green Ghost mask and slowly put it on. His sense of security instantly doubled.
"Where's mine? Where's mine?" howled the big black dog.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I brought it for you. Put it on quickly." Gu Chi grinned. This was the necessary equipment for her and Lao Hei when they went out. How could they forget to bring it with them?
Afterwards, Gu Chi took off the uniform of Heming Sect. This outfit was of no help to her here.
She changed into the light white plain dress she used to wear, put on wrist guards and a light gauze hat, and tied a jade ornament around her waist. She looked like a female knight, with a heroic and dashing demeanor.
As for the big black dog, the black coat it was wearing was already very nice, covering its entire body tightly. Even its head was covered by the wide brim of the hat. If one did not use spiritual sense to scan, no one would be able to tell that it was a big dog.
They first searched the island carefully, but found nothing except a few low-grade spiritual medicines.
"There's no way there's only one island in such a vast sea. Let's look somewhere else."
Gu Chi pointed forward, and the jade sword at her waist came out of its sheath with a clang, hovering in front of her, half a foot off the ground.
A man and a dog flew across the sea on a sword and found several islands. Although they had some gains, they were all low-grade spiritual medicines and the quantity was not large, so there was no better harvest.
"Old Black, do you feel that something is wrong?"
The big black dog shook his head, not feeling anything was wrong, everything was normal.
Gu Chi said, "It's just that something's a little off the beaten track. Think about it, we've been wandering around this sea area for three days, and we haven't seen a single person. Of course, this can be explained by the large area and the factions being too scattered, but have you noticed that we haven't even seen a single living creature yet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the big black dog was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, they have been wandering in this sea area for three days, and they have not seen any living creatures other than themselves.
Every island in the sea is covered with lush vegetation and ancient trees, presenting a vibrant scene. However, no poisonous insects, snakes, ants, birds or beasts have ever been seen. In this vast sea area, there is not even the shadow of a fish.
The more the big black dog thought about it, the more horrified he felt. He hugged Gu Chi's thighs tightly with his paws and said, "What's going on, Sister Gu Chi?"
Gu Chi frowned and said, "There's definitely something wrong with this sea area. We can't stay here any longer. We must get ashore and leave here as soon as possible!"
She felt vaguely uneasy, thinking that if she continued to stay there, something bad might happen. After determining a direction, she mobilized all her magic power and flew away at high speed, not daring to stop.
However, the vastness of this sea area was beyond her expectations. She urged Cuo Yuqie to fly at full speed for three days, but she was still in the vast ocean and could not see any trace of land.
The vast ocean is boundless, with no end in sight. There is silence all around, almost lifeless. There is not a single wave on the sea surface, and it is eerily quiet, making people feel uneasy.
It was already night, a thin smoke rose from the sea, and visibility to the naked eye dropped rapidly.
"Sister Gu Chi, what is that?"
The big black dog gently tugged at the corner of Gu Chi's clothes, and pointed its paw in a direction. Gu Chi looked up and found that there was a hazy light flickering there, which could be seen from afar through the fog, like a star falling on the sea.
She mobilized her magical powers and approached cautiously. When she was a little closer, she could see clearly that it was actually a ship. It was as big as a mountain, but it was almost on the verge of disintegration and was undulating on the sea.
