Chapter 548: Cultivators from Four Sects
The escape speed of the carriage magical treasure has already surpassed the speed of sound.
The sound of strong winds rushed past Liu Yu's ears, but sitting in the carriage, he didn’t feel a hint of a bump.
However, in front of the yuan ying ancestor, Liu Yu did not dare to look around freely, lest he offend.
He sat obediently, occupying only about one-third of the seat, waiting for the other party to speak.
When facing cultivators of lower strength, he would choose to strike hard.
But when facing cultivators far stronger than himself, he maintained his usual cautious and low-key style, never entertaining any strange thoughts of "equal interaction."
Being subservient in front of strong figures is something that many ordinary people might disdain.
But in the cruel cultivation world, it is a very effective means of survival.
For those who dare to challenge higher-level cultivators, the consequences are often tragically severe.
Being able to survive is already a form of luck.
And being able to succeed in overcoming greater realms can only be described as a "miracle," a rarity in a million years.
At this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Wind Ancestor rang out, and Liu Yu listened attentively.
"Our five sects of the Chu State each send one golden core cultivator to form a team, the route ahead is..."
Liu Yu memorized every word of the Heavenly Wind Ancestor, as it related to his life and death, he did not dare to be negligent.
In the high sky, one person spoke slowly while the other listened carefully.
As the Heavenly Wind Ancestor spoke gradually, Liu Yu's impression of the route of the Chu State team started to become clearer.
Thanks to the information he had gathered beforehand, Liu Yu had deepened his understanding of the Transverse Mountain Range, and based on the careful description, he gradually sketched out a map in his mind.
Sky Eagle Ridge, Emerald Wave Pool, Crimson Blood Marsh.
Hearing the names of these perilous places weighed heavily on Liu Yu, especially after hearing the first few.
Moreover, reaching the other end of the Transverse Mountain Range required traversing countless dangerous areas, the dangers within were unimaginable.
Take "Sky Eagle Ridge," for instance; as the name suggests, it is the territory of the cold sky eagle clan, where the number of third-stage demonic eagles is incalculable.
The vision of eagle-type demonic beasts is incredibly sharp, capable of seeing through techniques like the invisibility technique.
In such an environment, once discovered, even five golden core cultivators would be no different from a meal served up on a platter, with no way to escape.
In a sense, being discovered means defeat.
The route through Sky Eagle Ridge, Emerald Wave Pool, and Crimson Blood Marsh is one of the relatively safe routes explored by the alliance, allowing direct access to the depths of the mountains.
If one were to rashly enter uncharted dark areas, the danger level would rise exponentially, perhaps thousands of times more!
"Hiss~"
Though he maintained a calm exterior, Liu Yu felt a chill in his heart.
Even though he had anticipated this, truly understanding the specific information still made him feel heavy.
"Did you remember the habits of various demonic beasts and the key points to pass through?!"
The Heavenly Wind Ancestor asked with a kind expression.
Seeing Liu Yu's calm demeanor, he looked upon him with even greater respect in his heart, feeling that he wasn’t afraid at all.
"Return to Shishu, I have already memorized it."
Liu Yu nodded and replied earnestly.
Having already made a choice, as long as he was certain it was correct, no matter how many thorns and hardships lay ahead, he would grit his teeth and move forward.
"Mm."
The Heavenly Wind Ancestor stroked his beard, then his expression became serious as he continued to admonish:
"The habits of all kinds of demonic beasts must be kept in mind and used flexibly."
"This is the key to traversing dangerous areas."
"Our sect has always been at odds with the Heavenly Harmony Sect, so be careful of the cultivators from the Heavenly Harmony Sect."
