Chapter 435: Portal
"What’s going on?" Jiang Yue muttered and immediately stood.
Before he could figure it out, he felt a movement beside him and Yu Nianzhen appeared.
"Azhen." Jiang Yue called.
"Are you okay?"
"I am okay. What about you?"
"I am fine."
Confirming they were both okay, the two looked at each other before Jiang Yue spoke.
"Do you know what is going on?"
"I don’t know but the time is about right for the secret realm to close."
"Now that you mention it..." Jiang Yue said and sighed in regret.
He practiced a lot in the past sixty years and his Infinite Moment illusion art had improved a lot.
Unfortunately, time never seemed to be enough.
If he could, he wanted to spend a few more years in the Myriad Forms Mountain.
"Let’s go out." Yu Nianzhen suggested.
"Good."
Soon after, the two left the Myriad Forms Mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a group of people already gathered there.
"Ayue, Nianzhen." A voice called and the two turned towards the speaker.
"Master, you are also here?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Mmmmm." Chen Qing nodded and walked towards the two.
"What about the others?" She asked.
"We haven’t seen them." Jiang Yue said and did a quick check.
"Maybe they are in the Lightning Valley or the Crystal Worms Desert."
"You..." Chen Qing started but was interrupted by a loud shout.
"The Myriad Forms Mountain is disappearing." Someone shouted.
"Really?" Another questioned while turning about.
"It’s really disappearing."
Hearing this, the three of Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue, and Chen Qing also turned around.
As they watched, the Myriad Forms Mountain disappeared and became a plateau.
"It’s a pity." Chen Qing expressed her regret.
At the same time, the island began to shrink and a portal appeared on the Northern side.
"Let’s go there." Yu Nianzhen said.
"The others should also be heading there." Jiang Yue agreed.
Without delay, Jiang Yue took out a flying boat and three got on.
As they flew towards the portal, they observed the situation around them and saw that everyone was heading the same way.
"I wonder where it leads." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Hearing this, Chen Qing looked at him in confusion.
"Should it lead to the Cangxing world?" She asked.
"I don’t think so." Jiang Yue said and then explained.
"Senior Niu said we would be away from the Cangxing world for more than one thousand years. It’s only been five hundred years so the portal should lead elsewhere."
"Could the senior be mistaken?" Chen Qing questioned with a frown on her face.
"It’s possible but I don’t think he was wrong." Jiang Yue shook his head and said.
After knowing each other for most of their lives, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue trusted the bullock very much.
Since the bullock said they would be away for more than one thousand years, the two were inclined to believe it.
"Maybe the portal will lead us to the place where we can break through to the reincarnation realm." Yu Nianzhen speculated.
"I also think so." Jiang Yue nodded.
He always felt the Cangxing world was especially kind to himself and Yu Nianzhen.
Since they transmigrated, they had never faced any major obstacles and their cultivation was smooth.
Compared to Yang Xu and others, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen had never suffered.
Considering this, Jiang Yue felt the world was about to open another cheat for them.
[What are you thinking?] Yu Nianzhen questioned when he saw the complacent look on his husband’s face.
[I am thinking that the Cangxing world treats us well.] Jiang Yue didn’t hide his thoughts.
[It does.] Yu Nianzhen agreed but frowned.
When they advanced to the qi transformation realm, the two received a memory.
From the memory, they knew they had made a kind of deal but they didn’t know the details.
However, as their flying boat neared the portal, Yu Nianzhen vaguely felt that it was about time for him and Jiang Yue to fulfil their end of the deal,
"I see brother Li." Jiang Yue suddenly said and Yu Nianzhen turned to where his husband was pointing.
"Hongzhu is with him." Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but frown.
"If she is out, it means Brother Li’s state isn’t bad." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen didn’t argue.
"Senior Chen, Brother Yu, Brother Jiang." Li Futian greeted and Hongzhu nodded in greeting.
"Brother Li, where did the two of you come from?" Jiang Yue asked.
"I went back to the Crystal Worms Desert." Li Futian said.
"Azhen and I returned to the Myriad Forms Mountain after we spent eighty years in the Lightning Valley."
"From the looks of it, you weren’t lucky." Li Futian chuckled and Jiang Yue rolled his eyes.
"We spent twenty years looking for a lightning beast but we didn’t find any. What about you?"
"I was also not lucky."
"Is that so." Jiang Yue was a little disappointed but he didn’t dwell on it.
"Fellow Daoist Li, do you know where the portal leads?" Chen Qing suddenly asked.
Hearing this, a solemn look appeared on Li Futian’s face.
"I don’t know but I am sure it doesn’t lead to our Cangxing world."
"We didn’t bring many resources when we entered this place but everything went well because the island is a training ground. Will it be okay if we go to another place?" Chen Qing could not help but worry.
Although she advanced to the peak of the nascent soul realm and didn’t need many resources, she didn’t like being poor.
Most importantly, Chen Qing didn’t have herbs so she hadn’t done any pill refining for more than three hundred years.
’If it goes on like this, I will forget how to refine pills.’ She thought.
"We can only take things one step at a time." Jiang Yue shrugged and said.
He was also worried about resources.
However, there was nothing they could do so they could only follow the general trend.
"Maybe the next place will have cultivation resources." He comforted.
"Let’s hope so." Chen Qing said.
After that, the five continued on their way and soon met other groups heading the same way.
"Everyone’s cultivation has improved a lot." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but say.
"The younger generation has caught up with the old." Chen Qing said with some bitterness in her voice.
Although she wasn’t considered too old, she was still more than three thousand years old.
Compared to Jiang Yue and the rest who were less than one thousand years old, Chen Qing couldn’t help but feel old.
"Our generation is lucky." Jiang Yue soothed.
Although talent was part of why his generation cultivated so quickly, it was not the entire reason.
Without the Nine Treasures secret realm, the Sea of Enlightenment, and the three training grounds, their cultivation would have been a lot slower.
Hearing this, Chen Qing didn’t say anything.
However, she felt Jiang Yue was taking his talent too lightly.
When Chen Qing tested her origin and awakened her meridians, the Cangxing world was different.
Back then, the heaven and earth qi was a lot richer and cultivation resources were more abundant.
Even with such good conditions, her cultivation speed was a lot slower than that of Jiang Yue and the current generation of geniuses.
"Master is already at the mouth of the portal." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said and everyone looked to the front.
"Brother Xuan, Senior Bing, and Senior Murong are also with him." Li Futian said with a complicated expression.
[Azhen, have you noticed Brother Li always looks weird when speaking about Murong Feng?] Jiang Yue asked.
[I have noticed.] Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
Originally, he and Jiang Yue thought that Murong Feng was Xuan Ke’s destined person.
However, the more the situation developed, the more doubts they had.
Thinking back, they realised that everything was just their speculation.
Back then, Li Futian implied that Xuan Ke and Murong Feng would be involved but never said more.
[I wonder what’s going on.] Jiang Yue couldn’t help but worry.
[Unless it’s absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t get involved in other people’s emotional matters.] Yu Nianzhen warned and Jiang Yue stuck his tongue out.
For this situation, Yu Nianzhen was wary and apprehensive.
Although he couldn’t be sure, he always felt that his master was weird whenever Murong Feng was mentioned.
Yu Nianzhen also knew that his master and Murong Feng were old friends but had a falling out for an unknown reason.
Considering everything, Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but worry.
[You are right, let’s stay out of it.] Jiang Yue said with a serious look on his face.
"You are finally here." Xuan Ke shouted when he saw the group.
"Are you waiting for us?" Jiang Yue shouted back.
"Has anyone entered the portal?" Chen Qing asked.
"Not yet." Bing Lan shook her head and answered.
"It’s only a matter of time before we are forced to enter." Yu Nianzhen said as he looked around.
