Although Qin Yao's strength was somewhat weak, her vision was still quite remarkable, and she agreed with Wang Zheng's analysis.
"We'll have to trouble you again, Senior Brother. The environment here isn't very comfortable. Let's set off quickly. Hopefully, things will be better once we get to that floating island..."
Seeing the girl's shy and hesitant demeanor, Wang Zheng knew that cultivators of their lineage were particularly sensitive to the spiritual energy of the outside world.
After all, relying entirely on drawing upon the surrounding spiritual energy to construct spells would naturally be uncomfortable in such a barren region.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Young Master Wang's mind.
"Perhaps that's why their ancestors resolutely abandoned Earth and retreated to the celestial realm?"
After all, during the Dharma-ending Age, the spiritual energy on Blue Star was becoming increasingly scarce, perhaps even more so than in this sealed land. If even innate-level experts like them couldn't unleash any spells, they probably wouldn't be able to accept it...
"However, such an environment has little effect on us Awakened Ones. Although I am an exception, even a Grandmaster has at least tens of thousands of spiritual energies in his body."
There were more than ten times as many of them as the cultivators from the grotto-heavens, and even if their recovery speed was slower, they wouldn't fall into the same state of lethargy and listlessness as the others.
Young Master Wang shook his head, no longer thinking about the differences in their cultivation methods. After quickly identifying the direction, he decided to set off and head directly to the bottom of the floating island to meet up with the others.
However, when he turned around and saw that the lively little girl looked listless, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
'Even if others are in a better situation, it's probably only by a limited margin. For immortals who have risen high to earth to be suddenly thrown down to the mortal realm, such a drop in status is certainly hard to bear for a while.'
The saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes one's horse run itself to death." This sky island may seem close, but it's probably several hundred kilometers away. I wonder if they can get there easily...
Young Master Wang did not reveal that he was only slightly affected, and still had Qin Yao release Bai Cang again. At that time, the strange beast had too much spiritual energy in its body and had fallen into a deep sleep.
After several bursts of profound light techniques, Wang Dashao began to draw the third blood mark, and his beastly eyes changed from dazed to terrified.
Wang Zheng didn't explain further, and helped Qin Yao straddle the seat.
After all, although the little princess of Tai Xuan Si was polite and sensible, Wang Zheng was afraid that if she saw that he could move freely and was not affected, she would make him search for people in this vast wilderness.
Why not take this time to stroll around that floating island first? Even though the interior of this ruin looks quite dilapidated, it's still a place that no one has set foot in for thousands of years.
Putting aside all the ancient books and such, surely no one would notice if I secretly hid some spiritual fruits.
Among all the people who came in together, I am the only one who is an Awakened One. This means that the ruins are destined for me. If I don't seize this opportunity, I will suffer the consequences. I must hurry up!
With this thought in mind, Young Master Wang immediately took action. Under his threatening gaze, Bai Cang took off and galloped wildly towards the huge floating island.
In this desolate, endless ruin, the wandering beast souls had no time to react before it left them far behind.
After running for nearly two hours, Wang Zheng and Qin Yao finally arrived at the foot of the huge floating island.
Looking at these black stone pillars, which were almost identical to those in the Yellow Sea ruins, Wang Shao suddenly had a flash of realization.
She casually tossed a small bottle of liquid spiritual energy to Bai Cang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. The next second, the dead dog, which was panting heavily with its tongue hanging out, suddenly jumped up and swallowed the bottle whole, startling Qin Yao, who was still concerned about its condition.
Seeing her dog's embarrassing behavior, the young rich woman felt inexplicably ashamed. After using a spell to recall it, she asked Wang Zheng, who was beginning to examine his surroundings:
"Senior Brother Wang, shall we wait here now? This wasteland is quite large, and I don't think the senior brothers can travel that fast."
Seeing that Qin Yao had basically recovered from the spiritual energy emanating from the floating island, Young Master Wang didn't hold back and directly revealed his plan.
"I plan to go up this stone pillar to investigate first. Firstly, I can do some reconnaissance to prepare for the subsequent exploration, and secondly, I can observe the surrounding situation so that if other fellow disciples come, it will be easier for us to see them."
As Wang Zheng spoke, he took out several temporary signs from his storage space, stuck them on the ground, and casually asked while writing something on them:
"Junior sister, would you like to rest here for a while, or come with me? Anyway, we've already arrived at the foot of the Sky Island, and there are no beast souls around. If you're not feeling well, you can rest a bit longer."
"I don't want to stay!"
Feeling the eerie atmosphere around her, Qin Yao dared not stay alone, even if there was no danger.
If something unexpected happens and she gets separated from her only teammate, she definitely won't be able to hold on by herself.
Wang Zheng wasn't surprised by her choice. He obediently left his information on the sign, and then pulled Qin Yao up the seemingly endless stone pillar...
The jet-black stone pillars pierced the sky, and now that we were getting close, even the shape of the Sky Island Palace was obscured.
Although Wang Zheng himself had not personally walked this "Road to Heaven," he learned from his conversations with Lao Li and the others that one could not fly directly up to the Heavenly Palace by passing through the stone pillars; otherwise, a powerful force would push one far away.
Therefore, he obediently walked up the stairs. As soon as he stepped onto the pitch-black steps, he indeed felt an unknown force on the stone pillar preventing him from going up.
However, the more Wang Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that the ruins belonged to an ancient sect.
Isn't this just putting pressure on people and testing their character and perseverance when they climb the mountain?
Moreover, especially considering what Han Xiaozi of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain said before the appearance of that beast soul, this place might really be the ancient Beast Taming Hall.
This so-called "Zhai" (a type of ancient Chinese palace complex) has dozens of magnificent palaces; one can only imagine how powerful it was at its peak...
With these miscellaneous thoughts on their minds, it took the two of them quite a while to finally reach the top of the clouds.
Seeing the breathtaking scenery beyond the dark clouds, like a paradise on earth, Wang Zheng pointed to the massive stone gate and asked directly:
"I wonder if Junior Sister can read the characters on this? Is this the sect of the ancient Beast Taming Hall? I remember Senior Brother Han Xiaozi mentioning that there seem to be related learning courses in the blessed land?"
