Qin Chen was very pleased with his current state.
In his previous life, he was already an unmatched genius, one of the few top talents on the continent. However, even at the peak of the initial stage of the Eighth Level, he was not as terrifying as he was now.
The arduous cultivation in this life had finally paid off, filling Qin Chen with confidence.
"Let's go!"
Qin Chen led Luo Mengqi out of the spatial cave!
Of course, before leaving, Qin Chen had explored the depths of the cave, but he had still been unable to reach the bottom and was forced to retreat due to exhaustion.
It seemed that to truly enter the depths of the cave, he would need to make a breakthrough first.
There were just over two years left until the Ancient Yu Realm closed, and Qin Chen was prepared. When the time came for the Ancient Yu Realm to close, he would definitely return and investigate further.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the sky of the Ancient Yu Realm, two figures streaked across the sky one after the other.
It was Luo Mengqi and Qin Chen.
However, the two were not walking together but kept a distance apart to avoid raising suspicions. With the Soul Devouring Seal within Luo Mengqi, they could sense each other even from afar.
After a few days, Qin Chen and Luo Mengqi finally arrived at the gorge where the law enforcement hall and the geniuses from the Piao Miao Palace practiced.
Since both the law enforcement hall and the Piao Miao Palace had come together, they practiced in the same location. However, Qin Chen was dismayed to find that there were not many people in the entire valley—only dozens of cats, both big and small. Neither You Qianxue nor Ji Ruyue were present.
As for that group of mysterious individuals, there wasn’t a single one to be seen.
After inquiring, Luo Mengqi learned that half a month ago, the Martial Emperor Tian Fei from the Piao Miao Palace had come to this place and had taken all the geniuses who had broken through from the law enforcement hall and the Piao Miao Palace with her, including You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue.
Qin Chen smiled bitterly; it seemed that both You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue had decent talent, breaking through in less than a year.
Thinking about it, with their cultivation, a year was indeed a long time.
Since the people were not there, Qin Chen did not linger and instructed Luo Mengqi to take him to where the experts from the law enforcement hall and Piao Miao Palace were located.
He believed that if those mysterious individuals needed the Piao Miao Palace's help, they would surely be nearby with the Piao Miao Palace’s experts.
The two quickly shifted their target and headed deeper into the Ancient Yu Realm.
As a Martial Emperor from the Piao Miao Palace, Luo Mengqi naturally had unique contact methods with the Piao Miao Palace members. After several days, they had arrived at the depths of the Ancient Yu Realm.
The depths of the Ancient Yu Realm were much more peaceful than the interior they had encountered before. There were not as many spatial rifts; the space here seemed far more solid, but the power of space was increasingly formidable, almost as if it had solidified into a tangible form.
Although there were no spatial rifts in this area, the oppression on peak Martial Kings and those at the threshold of Martial Emperors was even more terrifying. If in the outer regions, as long as one could avoid spatial rifts, peak Martial Kings and half-step Martial Emperors could barely survive, then here, under such overwhelming spatial power, anyone below Martial Emperor rank would be crushed and have no hope of survival.
But precisely because of this, the depths of the Ancient Yu Realm were where spatial crystals existed, as only such places would produce them.
Boom!
Suddenly, a series of explosive sounds echoed from ahead. As Luo Mengqi entered the depths of the Ancient Yu Realm, three blood-colored beasts appeared out of nowhere in the void and pounced toward her.
These three blood-colored beasts glimmered with a bloody light, boasting impressive defenses and terrifying attacks, charging at Luo Mengqi with a violent bloodlust.
