119: Chapter 119 Exploring the Secret Realm

Tian Yi and Zhang Wei chatted for a long time.

From the events of venturing into the Secret Realm back then, to their respective experiences afterward.

Zhang Wei said he had been Cultivating in the Lower Realm for these thirty thousand years, and was now only at the Late-stage Immortal Emperor.

Tian Yi listened, nodding occasionally.

“What about you?” Zhang Wei asked, “How does it feel after becoming the Heavenly Dao?”

Tian Yi was silent for a moment.

“Very lonely.”

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment.

“Lonely?”

“Mm.” Tian Yi looked at the sky, “The Heavenly Dao cannot favor any side, cannot have friends, and cannot have enemies.”

“Even when speaking with you, I must be cautious.”

“Fearing that a single slip might destroy the balance.”

Zhang Wei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it.

He knew Tian Yi was right.

That was just how the Heavenly Dao was.

“Then do you regret it?” Zhang Wei asked.

“I don't regret it.” Tian Yi shook his head, “This was my choice.”

“And...” He looked toward the Fifteen Disciples in the courtyard, “at least they can continue to Cultivate.”

Zhang Wei followed his gaze.

Those Young Men were currently Cultivating, each of them very serious.

“You've taught good Disciples.” Zhang Wei smiled.

“Mm.”

The two chatted for a while longer, then Zhang Wei stood up.

“I should go.”

“So soon?”

“Mm.” Zhang Wei nodded, “If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear leaving.”

Tian Yi didn't speak.

He knew what Zhang Wei said was true.

“Take care.” Zhang Wei turned and left.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

“Right, do you still remember what we said back then?”

“What words?”

“We agreed to roam the world together.” Zhang Wei looked back, “Now it seems that won't be realized.”

Tian Yi smiled.

“Who says it can't be realized?”

“Aren't you still alive?”

“Then continue to roam the world.”

“It's just that this time, I cannot accompany you.”

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled.

“Good.”

He waved his hand and disappeared outside the mountain gate.

Peace returned to the courtyard.

The Fifteen Disciples walked over.

“Master, are you alright?” Luo Bingli asked.

“I'm fine.” Tian Yi shook his head, “Just a bit tired.”

He turned to look at everyone.

“Continue your Cultivation. I'm going to patrol other places.”

“Yes.”

Just as Tian Yi was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

“Right, the Lower Realm has been somewhat unsettled lately.”

“Several forces are causing trouble in the shadows.”

“Be careful.”

Bai Wuji frowned: “What forces?”

“Not sure.” Tian Yi shook his head, “But their target seems to be the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

“Heavenly Sword Sect?” Lin Tian gripped the dragon emperor spear tightly, “What do they want to do?”

“I don't know.” Tian Yi paused, “But you all had better be prepared.”

After saying that, he disappeared into the Void Realm.

In the courtyard, the Fifteen Disciples looked at each other.

“Senior Brother, what do we do now?” Luo Bingli asked.

“First, strengthen the defenses.” Bai Wuji thought for a moment, “Then send people out to gather information.”

“See exactly what forces are making trouble.”

“I'll go.” Sikong Zhaiyue stepped out from the shadows.

“I'll go too.” Sword Nameless spoke coldly.

“Good.” Bai Wuji nodded, “The two of you go together.”

“Remember, only gather information. Do not act rashly.”

“Understood.”

The two left the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The others began to strengthen the defenses.

Chu Han set up several Formations outside the mountain gate.

Jin Wusuan flicked his abacus, deducing possible dangers.

Medicine Not So began refining some healing Medicinal Pills.

Ye Gucheng, meanwhile, practiced his sword in the courtyard.

Lin Tian held the dragon emperor spear, standing on the mountain peak, looking into the distance.

“Revered Master was right, things have indeed been a bit off lately.”

Su Qingying walked over: “You felt it too?”

“Mm.” Lin Tian nodded, “These past few days, I've always felt like someone was watching us from the shadows.”

“But every time I try to check, I find nothing.”

Su Qingying frowned: “Could it be those forces Revered Master mentioned?”

“It's possible.”

As the two were speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the kind of darkness when the sun sets.

But rather a strange, eerie darkness.

“What's going on?” Lin Tian gripped the dragon emperor spear tightly.

The others also came out one after another.

In the sky, countless black cracks appeared.

From the cracks, a terrifying aura emanated.

“This is...” Bai Wuji's expression changed.

“Spatial Cracks.”

“Someone is forcibly tearing through space.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure stepped out from a crack.

It was a black-robed Middle-aged Man.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold.

“Heavenly Sword Sect?”

The Middle-aged Man looked at the people in the courtyard and sneered.

“This is the place.”

Bai Wuji took a step forward: “Who are you?”

“Me?” The Middle-aged Man smiled, “My name is Demonly Boundless.”

“I come from the Demon Realm.”

“Demon Realm?” Bai Wuji frowned.

He had heard of the Demon Realm.

It was the most chaotic place in the Lower Realm.

It was filled with nothing but the most heinous and wicked Cultivators.

“What have you come here for?”

“For what?” Demonly Boundless sneered, “To kill people, of course.”

“Kill whom?”

“Kill you all.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Demonly Boundless made his move.

Black Qi transformed into countless tentacles, attacking everyone.

Bai Wuji raised his hand, and golden Qi condensed into a shield in front of him.

The tentacles struck the shield, producing dense sounds of impact.

Cracks began to appear on the shield.

“Everyone, be careful!” Bai Wuji shouted.

The others also attacked one after another.

Chu Han swung his sword, the sword light slashing toward the tentacles.

Lin Tian gripped the dragon emperor spear and thrust it out.

Luo Bingli's ice Divine Ability froze several tentacles.

But Demonly Boundless's attacks were too fierce.

The tentacles grew more and more numerous.

Soon, they had everyone surrounded.

“Only this much strength?” Demonly Boundless sneered, “I thought Bai Yu's Disciples would be quite powerful.”

“Turns out you're only so-so.”

Bai Wuji grit his teeth.

He knew Demonly Boundless was right.

With their current strength, they were indeed no match for Demonly Boundless.

“Senior Brother, what do we do?” Luo Bingli asked.

“Hold on.” Bai Wuji clenched his fists, “Wait for Sikong Zhaiyue and Sword Nameless to return.”

“Hold on?” Demonly Boundless smiled, “Can you hold on?”

He raised his hand, black Qi condensing in his palm.

“Go and die.”

A black pillar of light blasted toward everyone.

Bai Wuji wanted to block it.

But the power of the light pillar was too strong.

He was sent flying, crashing into the courtyard wall.

The others weren't doing much better.

Chu Han spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Tian held the dragon emperor spear, kneeling on one knee.

Luo Bingli's face was pale.

“Is it going to end like this?” Bai Wuji struggled to stand up.

He was unwilling.

Master had just become the Heavenly Dao.

And they were about to die here.

“Master...” Bai Wuji looked toward the sky.

At that moment, the sky suddenly split open.

A golden light descended from the heavens.

Landing in the courtyard.

The light dissipated, revealing a familiar figure.

“Master?” The Fifteen Disciples were stunned.

No.

That wasn't Tian Yi.

That was Bai Yu.

“Are you all...” Bai Yu looked at everyone, “all alright?”

“Master, you... didn't you become the Heavenly Dao?” Bai Wuji couldn't believe it.
