14: Gu Yan’s opportunity!

He was gasping for breath, big gulps of air.

The sweat flowing down his cheeks was tinged with green.

He wanted to make bigger movements, but couldn't!

Heavy, specially made chains locked his limbs, sealing all his Spiritual Qi!

Before Gu Yan could even sense the reason for this emptiness.

Nether Cliff didn't give him much time to breathe; the green mist around him transformed into eerie tentacles, piercing into his Celestial Court, his limbs…

He trembled all over, his eyes rolled back, and he was dragged into an endless nightmare once more.

In the nightmare, he would experience countless deaths, each one the most painful way to die.

An ordinary person falling into Nether Cliff would go mad within three days.

But Gu Yan's will was extremely tenacious!

Even like a living dead man, he was still holding on!

After an unknown number of nightmares, a subtle change finally occurred in his body!

Great Wilderness Celestial Scripture!

Gu Yan gradually regained consciousness, sensing that the Saint-level Cultivation Technique he Cultivated was slowly absorbing the surrounding green mist, transforming it into a pure Spiritual Qi to repair his severely injured body.

What surprised him even more was that this pure Spiritual Qi not only allowed his damaged body to gradually recover.

Moreover, it flowed through his body into the mysterious door deep within his God Ocean.

Gaa gaa gaa gaa…

The ancient, broken doorframe of the bronze door, pushed by this power, faintly revealed a tiny gleam of light.

This mysterious door, which had always been dormant in his God Ocean, actually opened a minuscule gap at this moment!

With a thunderous roar!

It was as if the heavens and earth had suddenly opened up in his muddled mind!

Gu Yan only felt an unprecedented insight spontaneously arise within him.

His fingers unconsciously traced in the Void Realm; those chains that had originally bound his arms and thighs gradually faded, as if becoming transparent.

No!

It wasn't the chains that were transparent, but his body!

As his body became transparent, the green mist, which had been ceaselessly coiling around him like venomous snakes, suddenly rippled gently in place, as if losing direction.

He discovered that by absorbing the nightmare power within the green mist, he could actually draw a special power from the mysterious door in his God Ocean!

“This power seems capable of traversing the Void Realm.”

“I… am saved.”

Gu Yan’s heart pounded wildly!

Having been imprisoned in Nether Cliff for an unknown amount of time, he had originally believed himself to be in an illusion, undergoing a trial.

But just now, as he pushed open the crack in the door within his body, he clearly felt an unprecedented sense of reality.

This door was telling him.

There had never been any illusion.

This information caused Gu Yan, who had just become excited, to feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his limbs growing cold.

“How could it not be an illusion?”

“There wouldn’t be such an absurd thing in this world.”

“Revered Master, she…”

Gu Yan still hadn't recovered from the previous blow.

But being in a dangerous situation, his rationality forced him to suppress some of his less intelligent thoughts and carefully observe his surroundings.

Inside Nether Cliff, all he could see was a ghastly green mist, making it impossible to determine direction or space.

“Calm down.”

“With the blessing of the Void Realm power from the door, this green mist can’t harm me for now.”

“I’ll gather more nightmare power first, then slowly explore; I’ll definitely find an exit.”

Gu Yan retracted his gaze and quickly made a decision.

These mists, which possessed terrifying nightmare power, now had utilization value under the dual blessing of his Great Wilderness Celestial Scripture and the mysterious door.

Huala la!

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Gu Yan’s entire skin was tinged with green, as if he had become a little green man.

But Gu Yan didn't care; instead, he was joyful.

This nightmare mist, transformed by the Great Wilderness Celestial Scripture, was enough to support his escape!

Not long after, the mist in Gu Yan’s location became significantly thinner than the surroundings!

Suddenly, Celestial Court trembled.

Gu Yan’s expression shifted slightly as he looked up.

The sky was also covered in dense green mist, but at this moment, it rippled like water.

“Someone’s here?”

Gu Yan’s face darkened slightly, and he immediately activated the Void Realm power of the mysterious door; his figure gradually became transparent, concealing himself within the Void Realm.

Soon, Gu Yan saw the person who had entered Nether Cliff.

The newcomer was a tall, thin old man wearing a tattered Daoist robe.

Gu Yan recognized him and thought to himself, “Xu Elder?”

This Elder was the caretaker of the Scripture Storage Pavilion in Chongxuan Pavilion.

He had previously been extremely lucky to find a lost ancient book in the Scripture Storage Pavilion, and at that time, he had gotten along very well with this Xu Elder, who had quite admired him.

But now, Gu Yan only felt a chill in his heart!

Because he felt a spine-chilling killing intent from this Xu Elder!

The other party was definitely not here to save him; on the contrary, it was very likely that he was here to kill him!

As soon as he thought of this, a ferocious look appeared on Gu Yan’s face.

“Damn it! Why are they treating me like this? I’ve made so many contributions to Chongxuan Pavilion before. Just because a Saint appeared, they want to wipe me out completely?”

At this moment, Gu Yan deeply felt the cruelty and darkness of this world.

He didn't hate Xu Elder at this time, but rather harbored a deep hatred for that Saint who suddenly appeared and looked exactly like Chu Feng!

“One day, when I advance to the Saint Realm, I will definitely repay all the humiliation I suffered today, doubled!”

He secretly swore, a ferocious look on his face.

“En?”

“Where did the person go?”

At this moment, Xu Elder, who had arrived through the air, frowned slightly, extending his Divine Thought to continuously search Nether Cliff, but he did not find Gu Yan’s figure!

This made his expression change slightly: “Not good, he couldn’t have escaped, could he?”

His face immediately darkened, and he began to search meticulously again.

If Gu Yan had really escaped, that would be troublesome.

At this time, Gu Yan, using the power of the Void Realm, left Nether Cliff along the path Xu Elder had taken to arrive.

Gu Yan returned to the vast world, greedily inhaling the fresh Spiritual Qi in big gulps, his heart filled with joy!

“Xu Elder, who is in the King Realm, didn’t even detect my whereabouts in the slightest!”

He looked around.

As a Forbidden Ground of Chongxuan Pavilion, Nether Cliff’s surroundings were empty and uninhabited, and no one had discovered that he had escaped.

But now he faced a brand new problem!

Where to go after escaping?

His backing in the Xuan Realm was Chongxuan Pavilion!

Now that Chongxuan Pavilion had completely abandoned him, it would be absolutely impossible to gain a foothold in the Xuan Realm.

Especially that guy who looked exactly like Chu Feng!

“I can’t stay in the Xuan Realm anymore! I’ll go back to Xiao Zhu Realm first.”

Gu Yan made his decision in an instant!

He was very clear about what a behemoth Chongxuan Pavilion was in the Xuan Realm!

Staying in the Xuan Realm would lead to trouble sooner or later.

Going to the Upper Realm was easy, but going to the Lower Realm wasn't so convenient.

It would take time to descend from the Xuan Realm.

He himself was also extremely familiar with Xiao Zhu Realm and had several secret strongholds where he could hide.

The most crucial point was that he was now facing a great calamity, which was very likely to affect the Gu Family.

He was very worried about his relatives in the Gu Family and his friends in Xiao Zhu Realm, so he decided to settle them all down first before making a plan.

Now, another new problem was before him.

Wanting to go to the Lower Realm was equally troublesome for him.

He would have to pay a huge price to use the Two Realms Passage or a cross-realm teleportation array.

These things were not something a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator could obtain.

Gu Yan’s eyes flickered as he pondered a solution.

He looked around, his thoughts racing.

Suddenly, Gu Yan’s gaze fixed in one direction.

That was Chongming Palace, originally the Cultivation place of his Revered Master, Nangong Qin.

He looked at it, an unwilling expression on his face.

“Am I really just going to leave like this?”

Every blade of grass and tree in Chongxuan Pavilion was intimately familiar to him.

Now, he was about to embark on a life of being hunted and fleeing by Chongxuan Pavilion.

Revered Master, she… is she really so heartless?

Gu Yan was unwilling.

His Revered Master’s feelings for him were definitely not fake.

“Let’s go take one last look.”

He wanted to secretly see Nangong Qin one last time before leaving.

If there was a chance, he wanted to talk to Nangong Qin.

He wasn't being reckless; with the mysterious door, he was confident that even that damned Saint wouldn't be able to see through his methods.

Gu Yan activated the power of the Void Realm and quietly flew towards Chongming Palace.
