Chapter 294 Exploration

"Yu clan ruins, I know this!"

The caller finally pulled the skinny dog off Luo Xuanyi's shoulder, raised his hand and shook it vigorously before throwing it away, puffing out his chest with complacency.

Although his hunched back made him look like he was just frozen in place.

"Who built it... doesn't matter. It's just a very important place, meant to be opened by a special person! What's inside... a key? It seems to be something very large."

Does the key refer to the concept of the ghost world? The words left by Yu Linghe said that the concept of the ghost world existed in the Yu family ruins. Once opened, Luo Xuanyi's path to strange cultivation would be smoother. The concept of the key was not mentioned.

Luo Xuanyi narrowed her eyes slightly and then asked, "What can that 'key' open?"

"Hmm... I don't know." The caller racked his brains for an answer, his energy draining away, his back hunched even further. Luo Xuanyi turned to look at the skinny dog, who barked.

"It said it didn't know either. It seems only two people knew: Yu Lu and a girl from the Yu family."

It should be Yu Linghe. Luo Xuanyi pursed her lips, her bad habit of suspicion making her subconsciously think deeply, but then her trust in Yu Linghe blocked it.

Trustworthy, should...

Perhaps using the Third Valley to construct the Soul-Falling Formation wasn't a good idea. She suddenly recalled too many unpleasant experiences. Luo Xuanyi decided not to delve into this for now.

"Not talking about the key inside, do you know exactly where the Yu clan ruins are?"

"Let me think, let me think." The caller spun around in the clouds. "In the mountains, a strange place that moves."

"Can it move?"

"It just moves, I don't know where it is...ah, I don't know anything..."

The caller seemed to have used too much of his brain while thinking. He suddenly squatted down, scratched his hands in his dry hair, grabbed a handful of fleas, threw them into his mouth and ate them like candy beans, and gradually calmed down.

He wanted to share the fleas with a skinny dog, but the skinny dog bit his palm.

Luo Xuanyi gently pressed her hand against her chest. Beneath her clothes was a map of the Yu clan ruins, close to her body. She wasn't about to show it to the caller. But the fact that the caller had mentioned it moving made her a little concerned.

If the Yu clan ruins on Yuqiong Mountain can move, why did Yu Linghe give her this map?

Staying with Huzhe, Luo Xuanyi felt more and more doubtful. If she hadn't been sure she couldn't defeat Huzhe, she would have wanted to pry open Huzhe's brain and search his soul.

Staying here is not a solution. Luo Xuanyi exhaled, put down her hands, and gently kicked the caller on the ground. Both the caller and the skinny dog looked over.

"Come on, aren't you guys going to follow me? I'm leaving."

"Oh oh!" The caller jumped up, and the skinny dog jumped onto Luo Xuanyi's shoulder again.

"Go—where to?"

Luo Xuanyi raised her head, compared the direction of the setting sun, and found the south.

"To the south, I want to try to find the border of the Zhongqu Mountains first."

The five-eyed toad that had been quietly standing by became the mount for the two people and the dog. The five-eyed toad seemed to be quite afraid of the skinny dog. Luo Xuanyi only felt that its speed in the air had increased a little, as if it wanted to get rid of the skinny dog on its back by jumping.

Mountain shadows flitted by, clouds shifted in an ever-shifting pattern. The mountain range stretched southwards, seemingly endless, with only the sky gradually turning a brilliant crimson as the sun set.

An hour later, Luo Xuanyi stopped the five-eyed toad and fed it a soul-replenishing pill, frowning.

The caller lay on the five-eyed toad's back, bored, and yawned. "Haven't we arrived yet? That place called Chaonan."

A whole hour passed, and Luo Xuanyi felt that she had not even reached the core of the Zhongqu Mountains, let alone the Zhongqu Mountains, and had been circling around the edge.

According to her guess, they might have entered the territory of some spiritual beast, but they did not encounter any attack.

Luo Xuanyi gently placed her hand soothingly on the head of the five-eyed toad that had been struggling to walk for an hour. Feeling the five-eyed toad rubbing against her palm, her gaze shifted from the sky to the mountains beneath the clouds.

Several mountain peaks are clustered together just below, and a large river flows around the foot of the mountains into the distance.

Since we can’t find the flaw in the air, we might as well go down and take a look.

After giving the Five-Eyed Toad another Soul-Restoring Pill, Luo Xuanyi selected one of the mountains and pointed, "Descend to that mountain."

"Quack."

The five-eyed toad swiftly flew through the clouds and landed on the mountain designated by Luo Xuanyi, without encountering any obstruction in the process.

Luo Xuanyi stepped off the Five-Eyed Toad's back and gazed out over the mountain. The mountain was treeless, covered only with waist-high grass. Luo Xuanyi could easily see the scenery of the nearby peaks and valleys, as well as the river flowing slowly down the mountain.

Strange, this river...

Luo Xuanyi seized on a flash of inspiration and began to hike around the mountain's midsection. The caller reluctantly parted the grass for a moment before stopping. A skinny dog lay on Luo Xuanyi's shoulder, grinning mockingly.

Luo Xuanyi was a cultivator after all, so it didn't take her much time to walk around the mountain. She carefully observed the scenery outside the mountain and paid attention to the special features of the mountain.

After circling the mountain and observing it, Luo Xuanyi flew up into the sky to look at the mountain again. He compared the sky and the earth several times, and finally landed on the mountain with confidence.

The skinny dog on her shoulder, which was thrown dizzy, whimpered in confusion. Luo Xuanyi walked back to the five-eyed toad with a smile on her face.

Viewing these mountains and rivers from the clouds is like a person putting their five fingertips together and wearing a silver ring on their wrist. But the view from the ground is completely different.

Luo Xuanyi looked at the neighboring peaks. The distance between them was so great that a large flat land formed in between. What originally looked like a river flowing in a circular pattern at the foot of the mountain was actually five streams flowing from the mountain she was standing on, winding and winding, eventually converging into a river at the foot of the mountain. The water flowed through the flat land between the two mountains and emptied into a deep pool.

The visions of heaven and earth are completely different. The worst-case scenario is that both heaven and earth are the domains of some spiritual beast, and the difference in domains leads to different illusions. But even if this is the case, it is still worth exploring.

"Anyway, let's head south." Luo Xuanyi clapped her hands and decided, "We can't control the Qi if we walk."

The caller popped his head out from the grass and wailed, "No!"

"no."

Hearing Luo Xuanyi's rejection without hesitation, Huzhe jumped out of the bushes in anger.

"This is torture! Bo Huixiao! Do you want to torture me to death?! What on earth are you trying to do?!"

Luo Xuanyi remained unmoved. She turned her back to Huzhe and headed south, preparing to descend. She used her death energy to weave a net to scoop up the resting Five-Eyed Toad. "If I don't go south, how can I know if the earth is also made of a realm of illusion?"

"Of course the Zhongqu Mountains can only be reached on foot! Don't even try!"

The caller roared, unable to bear it any longer.

Luo Xuanyi, with her back to him, had a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

I can still remember it after a little effort. (End of this chapter)
