Chapter 214: The Outer Realm

Jixiang Ruyi whispered, "No, I won't let my brother down."

The two of them were quite lively. He Cen looked around and was completely overwhelmed by the scene. There was nothing he could do now but to take things one step at a time.

After stepping onto the wooden bridge over the lotus pond, the scenery changed a lot. He Cen discovered that this temple did not seem to be pure Buddhism, but more like Shintoism. That kind of holy light did not seem to be from just the Buddha. He Cen was in a trance at that moment, wondering if he had stepped into some upper realm.

Otherwise, this scene would be no different from the fairy palace.

There is no one.

After walking for a long time, the lotus pond was so big that one could not see the end. He Cen sighed and chatted with several masters, "Damn it, why do I always run into this kind of situation? You can't lock me up in this place and prevent me from getting out, right?"

Several masters almost tore down everything in the Anqing Temple, but after they entered, they were indeed not in the same space as Hecen.

The four of them were running around like ants on a hot pot.

If they lose their little apprentice, they will probably go crazy again.

Bo Lou was very angry, "What's going on? He He, have you encountered any other problems?"

He Cen was still walking on the wooden bridge. The surroundings were quiet, with occasional birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. It seemed like a fairyland, but there was really no one there. He walked here alone for a long time, and naturally his heart was beating fast.

If he really entered some special dimension and couldn't get out, and never saw his masters again, he would be terribly upset.

Fortunately, Jixiang Ruyi was still in my arms and could speak, and the Thousand Sound Bell was still working. "I still didn't see anyone else. I don't know what kind of place I have entered."

"I can't see the end of this road. I don't know how long it will take. Master, should I turn back?"

If they turned back now, they couldn't see the way back. Jun Chao and the others estimated that there was no hope, so He Cen walked forward again.

They didn't know how long they had been walking. The masters were extremely worried. They were really afraid that He Cen would fall into a new space and couldn't get out. When they were about to think of other ways, they heard the little sword spirit say, "I saw someone."

Several masters frowned, "Hehe, don't act rashly, be careful!"

"I know. I hid it."

The other space here is indeed a little beyond He Cen's imagination, and it is very likely to be the upper realm, because the back figure that He Cen just saw looks very much like Guichuan.

Brother Jianling and sister Lingyang haven't appeared in his world for a long time. After the end of the Broken Sword Rebel, they have never had any intersection again. Why do they see him here?

He Cen's heart trembled, and he followed stealthily. The figure was indeed Guichuan. He was going to see Lingyang, and the two of them should be going to some banquet together.

Outside the Lotus Pond, the spiritual energy in this area became more abundant. I don’t know how much higher it is than in the world of cultivation.

The surrounding scenery also changed, from the fairy palace and jade pool to a spacious peach forest and fragrant land. Here, it seemed that immortals were holding a banquet, with cups clinking and immortal music lingering.

He Cen was so surprised that he wondered what on earth he was doing. He was just in a daze when he was suddenly dragged behind a tree. Ling Yang and Gui Chuan stared at him in amazement, "A Cen, why are you here?"

He Cen hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know, I came here to pick fruit, and I don't know how I was swept into this space."

"Sister, why are you here?"

Ling Yang looked him up and down, and seeing that he was not injured, he quickly pulled him aside and hid him. "This is the outer world. How could you jump out of that world?"

"Where are your masters? How can you enter the outer realm if you haven't ascended yet?"

Hecen was completely confused. How could he know anything from the questions Lingyang asked? He just shook his head.

The peach forest was not a place for conversation. It seemed that a noble was hosting the party today. Lingyang and Guichuan obviously could not let Hecen be discovered here. The two of them dragged him through many twists and turns to a remote place in the peach forest, and then asked, "But what happened in that world?"

He Cen thought that there were too many things happening, how could he know which one?

Seeing that he was having trouble answering, Guichuan asked, "How did you repair your sword after it was broken?"

He Cen then told them about how several masters had forged swords for him using their bones and blood. Gui Chuan and Ling Yang were incredulous. "Forging swords with raw bones? What kind of technique is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

Little Sword Spirit: ???

"Isn't this the sword spirit's memory? The masters said they found the method from the spiritual memory I left behind. They tried everything at the time, but only this one worked."

"My masters couldn't have lied to me. This is the memory of the sword spirit."

Guichuan was also confused. "There is absolutely no method of forging a sword from living bones in the memory I left you. Either this is your own memory, or..."

Some good masters are lying.

The three of them were silent for a moment. Lingyang touched his head and said, "Since you believe them, it means that you have an extra part of your memory as a sword spirit."

This is not the place to talk. There are many questions that cannot be answered right now, so I can only brush them all aside.

Lingyang said that this was not a place where He Cen could stay for long. The two of them took the time to ask some other questions. After learning that He Cen had helped several masters find the Heavenly Book and that all his merits had been eaten, they were once again confused. "Why did the Heavenly Book eat A Cen's merits?"

He Cen didn't have time to ask this. He held Ling Yang's hand and said, "Sister, please tell me how to ascend to the upper realm. Isn't the ladder to heaven in this world broken?"

"How did you and Brother Guichuan ascend to heaven?"

Ling Yang shook her head. "We are not from the same plane. The ladder to your world is indeed broken, but don't you already know how to ascend? Just repair the ladder."

"The letter will appear at the right time. All you have to do is wait for the right moment. Also, why are there so many strange external auras around you?"

He Cen thought for a while before responding, "Are you talking about the aura of the attacker? Can you smell it, too?"

Lingyang frowned, "Didn't Guichuan and I already deal with that woman? How come she's still here?"

The little sword spirit laughed bitterly, "Not only that, there are many more. Our world seems to have been pierced by the invaders and turned into a sieve. My master and I seem to be being targeted by someone. There are always people who want to attack us."

When Lingyang and Guichuan heard this, their faces changed. They both looked serious and looked extremely ugly.

Just when he was about to say a few words to comfort him, a voice calling came from the peach forest. Guichuan glanced at the person who came and seemed to be an acquaintance of him and Lingyang. Hecen was not from the upper realm yet, so he must not be discovered here. Lingyang quickly pushed him.

"Hurry up, sister knows. Don't be afraid, A Cen. Just keep going west and you will be able to get out."

"You won't be able to stay here for long. The space will cut off all connections. If your masters go crazy, it will be troublesome."
