CHAPTER 570: Black Dragon Mountain Range
"Sometimes, to achieve a goal, strength alone is not enough; one also needs to be skilled in calculations!"
Liu Yu's gaze subtly passed over several individuals, and this thought flashed through his mind.
Although he felt some resistance, he had no choice but to accept the situation and join in before his strength reached a certain level.
Utilize all available power!
Hiding in Skyward Cave for five years was a plan agreed upon by everyone, so there was no opposition when it was time to depart.
After a brief discussion and reaching a consensus again, the five of them nodded in agreement.
"Then, let us depart now."
Suddenly standing up, Liu Yu scanned the others and said in a deep voice.
"Mm."
The others nodded and then stood up quietly.
They had already packed what needed to be packed in advance, and after a few more discussions, the five of them set off immediately.
Following the narrow passage they had come from, they walked step by step toward the surface.
Facing danger once again, each person's expression was somewhat heavy, and there was no mood for laughter.
"Tap, tap."
In the narrow passage, only the faint sound of footsteps echoed back and forth.
As they moved forward, Zhuo Mengzhen intentionally lagged behind, not far from Liu Yu.
She turned back occasionally, casting probing glances as if to remind him not to forget their previous deal.
Liu Yu secretly smiled in his heart but nodded slightly on the surface to reassure her.
Seeing this, Zhuo Mengzhen finally felt much more at ease, and her footsteps became a bit lighter.
Before long, the five arrived at the end of the path, blocked by a thick earthen wall.
Without hesitation, Mu Yunyan immediately took out the deep green token that controlled the formation and applied several spell gestures to it.
"Buzz, buzz."
The deep green token trembled slightly as a green light shot into the wall.
"Boom!"
After about two or three breaths, the surrounding walls shook, and then slowly parted to the sides.
Soft rays of light illuminated through the gap.
After five years, Liu Yu once again saw the scenery of the outside world through the crack.
Blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters
And many demonic beasts living in this land.
They had bizarre appearances, some grazing on the grass, while others held their breaths and crawled forward, forming a complete food chain.
As the passage opened, the five stepped out one after another, reappearing at the small hillside where they had entered.
Following their earlier division of labor, the five remained vigilant.
At the moment they left Skyward Cave, Zhuo Mengzhen activated the "azure soul veil," concealing the shapes, breaths, and magical power fluctuations of the five, making it difficult for low-level demonic beasts to notice them.
The other four extended their spiritual consciousness, constantly monitoring movements in all four directions, leaving no blind spots.
"No signs of demonic cultivators detected."
Liu Yu's expression was neutral, but his powerful spiritual consciousness, far surpassing that of others at the same stage, had captured the scenery within dozens of miles.
With both body refinement and qi refinement having broken through to the Golden Core Mid Stage, his spiritual consciousness had also significantly increased.
From the original eighty-mile range, it had surged to ninety-nine miles, an increase of nineteen miles.
At this level, he was infinitely close to the hundred-mile range of the golden core pinnacle, even Mu Yunyan, who practiced the "Dream of Shadows Heart Sutra," could not compare.
After all, Liu Yu cultivated three paths simultaneously, allowing them to influence each other, and his innate spiritual consciousness was powerful.
Over the years, taking advantage of the Immortal Abode, he had also tried consuming quite a few spiritual objects that could enhance spiritual consciousness.
"At this moment, I should be able to suppress Mu Yunyan in terms of spiritual consciousness, right?"
Liu Yu thought this, then shifted his gaze to the others.
