Chapter 195 When Sang Zhitao returned to the Cloud Sea Realm and woke up, ...
When Sang Zhitao regained consciousness, seven days had already passed.
"She really is a child. She gets so drunk from just a little bit of alcohol. She should learn to drink properly from me from now on, so she won't be tricked into going out with just a few drinks." Qingyan leaned against the door, looking at her with a mischievous expression.
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, then vigorously rubbed her temples, which were throbbing with a dull ache.
"Alright, it's perfect that we're setting off today, let's go." Qingyan didn't intend to continue teasing her. Instead, he stepped forward, rubbed her forehead, and pulled her up.
Sang Zhitao then realized that Qingyan had already returned to her original form.
"She really has a stunningly beautiful and charming appearance~" Sang Zhitao looked her up and down for a while and couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer.
Qingyan proudly raised her head: "I told you I'm very good-looking."
"Yes, yes, yes." Sang Zhitao nodded, unable to suppress a smile.
but……
Sang Zhitao frowned slightly, a question immediately arising in her mind.
Logically, she would return to Earth after each cultivation stage in Qingyan, when her body had lost some weight. But this time, she didn't go back!
This is a big problem...
"What's wrong?" Qingyan couldn't help but ask when he saw the obvious worry on her face.
Sang Zhitao snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head repeatedly: "It's nothing."
Seeing this, Qingyan could only sigh silently and said nothing more.
The two went outside, where the flying boat that Lan Gan had prepared was already waiting.
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the group said their goodbyes.
"Are you really not planning to go back?" Qingyan asked Langgan before taking off.
Lan Gan shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk about it after I reach the fourth realm."
Hearing her say that, Qingyan stopped trying to persuade her and could only sigh and wave goodbye.
The group flew for about two hours before arriving at the boundary gate where the two realms meet.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Sea Realm Spirits outside the boundary gate were already waiting for them.
There was no one guarding the boundary between the two worlds, but no one dared to pass through directly, which puzzled Sang Zhitao, who thought the place would be heavily guarded.
"Isn't this place unguarded? Why doesn't anyone come and go secretly?"
After hearing her question, Qingyan couldn't help but smile and pat her head: "You'll find out in a bit."
As they spoke, the flying boat landed a hundred meters away from the boundary gate.
"Let's go." Qingyan pulled her off the flying boat, then said to the servants on the boat, "Go back and tell your master that he hopes for his early return."
She pulled Sang Zhitao toward the boundary gate, and just as they entered within a hundred meters, a flash of white light appeared.
The gate she had just seen, which was unguarded, suddenly became noisy and bustling.
"This space was created by the Lord of the Three Realms, and the real guards and managers are all here."
Looking at the space, which resembled a government service hall on Earth, Sang Zhitao was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Couldn't we just set it up outside? Why go through all this trouble?"
Qingyan sighed slightly: "This was a last resort. At that time, the three realms were constantly at war with each other, which injured many innocent people and angered the Heavenly Dao. There was no other way but to open up a space outside the three realms, which was used as a sanctuary to protect the innocent during the great war."
She then pointed to the barrier behind her: "This can be controlled from the inside. In case of an emergency, it can be shut down directly, so that outsiders cannot attack in."
Qingyan sighed again: "Now it seems that this arrangement was actually to leave a sliver of hope for the legendary catastrophe."
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry appeared on Sang Zhitao's face.
She had no idea where the legendary cataclysmic crisis was going to be, and she was completely clueless at the moment.
Seeing her frowning, Qingyan couldn't help but smile and hug her: "Silly child, it's alright. Everything is in the hands of fate. If we can seize that glimmer of hope, that's good. If we can't, it's just that fate is against us."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Sang Zhitao to reply. She took her arm and led her to a place that looked like a counter, and handed her a gold token: "Go to the Cloud Sea Realm."
The other party was a pretty young girl. She smiled and took the gold medal, placing it on a formation. Immediately, a bunch of information appeared on it.
The other person's smile froze. They looked up at Qingyan in surprise, then at Sang Zhitao, and glanced back at the messages.
"You... are you Lord Qingyan? And this is Lady Taotao of the Spirit Clan? Why... why don't you have any records of entering this realm?"
Qingyan frankly stated, "The two of us accidentally fell into a secret realm while chasing the villains. That secret realm has an exit that connects to the demon realm, which is why there is no record of us entering it."
The girl frowned after hearing this and said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry, I haven't encountered this situation before. I need to report it. Please wait a moment."
"It's alright, you can go ahead." Qingyan couldn't help but frown slightly.
She had asked Lan Gan to arrange things for her to cross the boundary, but she didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
Sang Zhitao looked around and noticed that many people going through immigration looked worried and somewhat nervous.
Filled with doubt, she couldn't help but tug at Qingyan's sleeve and whisper, "Why do they all look so tense?"
Qingyan's custom was interrupted. He looked up with a puzzled expression and frowned again, saying in a low voice, "Yes, even if there are important matters, not everyone can have important matters, right?"
Just then, a young man dressed in a Taoist robe hurriedly approached from beside her.
Qingyan couldn't help but pull him aside and ask curiously, "Master, may I ask why you are in such a hurry?"
The young Taoist priest was almost knocked over by her pulling him. Only after he understood her question did he bow and say, "My lord, the realm lords of the demon realm and the mortal realm have gone missing. We fear war may break out, which is why we are in a hurry to return to our own realm."
"...Okay, thank you for letting me know." Qingyan was taken aback, and after quickly letting go and politely seeing the person off, she said with a grim expression, "Wait, how did the news spread so fast?"
Sang Zhitao wasn't surprised: "Although we only saw them over there a few days ago, they may not have disappeared at that time. It's not surprising that they were found."
Hearing her say that, Qingyan's expression softened.
Just then, the girl returned with a middle-aged man. She pointed to Sang Zhitao and the other woman and described them to the middle-aged man in detail.
After the middle-aged man politely bowed, he said, "I would like to trouble Lord Qingyan to help locate that place so that we can seal it."
Qingyan had no intention of hiding anything, so he said directly, "I have already placed a seal by the Demon Moon Lake. I will trouble your powerful beings to add a few more layers later."
"Thank you." The middle-aged man bowed gratefully and returned the gold medal to Qingyan. "You can pass with peace of mind."
Qingyan didn't linger any longer and flew towards the boundary gate with Sang Zhitao in tow.
Sang Zhitao turned her head and saw that the young Taoist priest was still busy with the procedures to return to his original realm. Even though she had already stepped into the realm gate, she could still clearly see the difficulty and urgency on the young Taoist priest's face.
War may not necessarily break out, so why the rush?
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but think to herself.
"Our two senior uncles are finally back!" The spirit race youth Lingyu greeted them with joy. "Thanks to Langan over there, otherwise we really don't know how long it would have been delayed. Our application still hasn't been approved."
Qingyan was taken aback, glancing at Lingyu's cultivation level of only the first realm: "You can't get past this either?"
Lingyu smiled bitterly: "No, ever since the news of the disappearance of the two realm lords came, the various realms have basically stopped allowing exchanges."
As the group stepped out of the barrier, Lingyu sighed as she tossed out a flying boat, saying, "Right now, only Elder Qing of the Cloud Sea Realm is unharmed, so..."
"Does the demon realm think Elder Qing was behind this? What reason could Elder Qing have? He can't leave Qingliang Cave anyway!" Qing Yan scoffed, his face full of displeasure.
Lingyu replied helplessly, "Who says otherwise? But my uncle in the demon realm knows best that they act the same way as the mortals, and they love to use schemes and tricks. Look at us, that's how it is."
"Hmph! I saw those two realm lords; they've already been drained dry by the outer gods," Qingyan said mercilessly.
"What?!" Lingyu was stunned, her young face blank with disbelief.
Sang Zhitao, while eating her meal with satisfaction, explained, "You're right, it was that Outer God who kidnapped the child."
As she spoke, she remembered the child in her hidden world and quickly released him with a wave of her hand.
The small airship was occupied by sleeping children, which startled Lingyu.
He spotted one of the boys, his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran out: "Moon Rock!"
The boy looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was quite handsome.
Sang Zhitao noticed that his features seemed familiar, and after thinking for a while, she hesitated before asking, "Is he the brother named Yueyue?"
Qingyan glanced at it a few times before saying, "I think so."
Seeing that her friends were unresponsive, Lingyu returned to them with a worried expression: "Uncle-Master, why aren't they awake?"
Sang Zhitao shook her head: "I don't know. Let's take it to Elder Qing first and let him take a look. I also need to see Elder Qing about something."
Lingyu bit her lip, glanced at her friend worriedly a few times, then nodded in agreement and immediately dispatched the flying boat to Qingliang Cave.
Upon arriving at Qingliang Cave, Elder Qing said directly, "I know everything. I've already asked Qinglan to contact the various clans, and they will take the child back for treatment. What is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
Sang Zhitao sighed and briefly recounted her background and experiences.
"So, as long as you absorb the world fragments, you can open the trade portal?" Elder Qing nodded in sudden realization.
"Oh! No wonder you have a lot of knowledge about the Demon Realm that is similar to yours, yet you don't know anything about the Demon Realm, and you have a different power system than here. You even said that the Outer God came because of you." Qingyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and say.
Sang Zhitao nodded: "I didn't originally intend to hide it from you, but with an outsider spying on us, I really didn't dare to make it clear."
Qingyan waved his hand dismissively: "Your past experiences do fit the secret techniques of my divine beast clan, and now you have the body of a phoenix, so it's not wrong to include you in my divine beast clan."
The two didn't talk much. Sang Zhitao took out the world fragment jade pendant from her waist: "I plan to absorb it now and open the trading gate as soon as possible. I want to confirm whether saving the world is related to this."
Old Master Qing naturally had no intention of stopping him and nodded in agreement.
Sang Zhitao released her grip, and the fragment of that world floated in mid-air, the green jade pendant pushing it straight into Sang Zhitao's chest.
Soon, Sang Zhitao was enveloped in a green cocoon of light.
Qing Lao and Qing Yan also saw a white light gate forming under the big tree.
As they waited with curiosity for the visitors from another world, the portal flickered and then suddenly disappeared.
And the mulberry blossoms fall out of its green cocoon...
