360: Chapter 360 The Forbidden Zone of Life, The Method of Repair!

At this point, a deep sense of lingering fear and relief flashed through Fairy Shuiyue's eyes.

"I didn't tell my husband because I was afraid... I was afraid that once this identity was exposed, if enemies from the Immortal Realm found out, it would bring total destruction to you and the entire Qingyun Dao Sect! The methods of those Golden Immortal experts are simply not something we can contend with right now."

"And..."

She paused, pressing her cheek tightly against Lu Yuan's chest. Listening to that strong and powerful heartbeat, her tone became incredibly firm and tender:

"And, when I was suffering through the backlash of my Physique, hovering between life and death and nearly giving up on life, it was you, husband, who disregarded the danger and saved me with supreme Divine Ability."

"From that moment on, my life and my person have completely belonged to my husband."

"Whether it be the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion or the high-and-mighty Young Miss of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, to me, they are already like passing clouds."

"All the honors and glory in this world cannot compare to the peace and happiness of being by my husband's side, even if only as a maid serving tea and water."

These words were spoken with sincere emotion, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

Every word seemed to be pulled from the depths of her Soul, and the tears in her eyes soaked a large patch of the lapel on Lu Yuan's chest.

Lu Yuan listened to her confession and felt her heartfelt dependence and love; the slight displeasure he had felt from being kept in the dark had long since vanished.

This woman was indeed quite stubborn.

"Alright, stop crying. If you cry any more, you won't be beautiful."

"If the Disciples of Tianshui Pavilion saw their high-and-mighty Sect Master crying like a little kitten, I'm afraid their eyes would pop out."

Lu Yuan gave a light chuckle and reached out his finger, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

His gaze became deep and warm, and his tone carried an unquestionable dominance:

"My, Lu Yuan's, woman does not need to be so cautious."

"What of enemies from the Daluo Heaven? What of Golden Immortal experts? As long as I, Lu Yuan, am here, the sky will not fall! Since you have followed me, your business is my business. As for your enemies, I will naturally sweep them away for you one by one in the future."

Listening to this peerlessly domineering declaration, Fairy Shuiyue felt an unprecedented sense of security well up in her heart.

She looked at Lu Yuan infatuatedly, nodded heavily, and broke into a smile through her tears.

"I believe in my husband. As long as you are here, Yue'er is not afraid of anything."

"It's good that you understand." Lu Yuan patted her shoulder and brought the topic back on track, his expression becoming a bit more serious: "I revealed your identity today not to blame you."

"But because my cultivation has now reached the limit of this Xuanhuang Realm."

"The Heavenly Dao of this Realm is fragmented. If I want to condense the Immortal Golden Nature and break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, I must leave this place and head to the Daluo Heaven."

"The risk of forcibly crossing the Void Realm is too great; I cannot gamble with the foundation of the Qingyun Dao Sect."

"I need you to take me to that Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation your father left behind back then."

"Only through it can I safely reach the Daluo Heaven."

Hearing this, Fairy Shuiyue did not hesitate. She knew her husband's ambitions would never be confined to this small Xuanhuang Realm; it was only a matter of time before he transformed into a dragon and took flight.

She immediately sat up straight in Lu Yuan's arms and nodded with a solemn expression: "I understand."

"The location of that teleportation Formation is extremely hidden, and no one knows the method to activate it except for me."

"I will take you there right now."

...

Half a day later.

At the easternmost edge of the Xuanhuang Realm, at the bottom of the endless deep sea.

This was a forbidden zone of life.

All around was a darkness as thick as splashed ink, where not a single ray of sunlight had been seen for years.

The seawater was bone-chillingly cold, but even more terrifying was the water pressure that weighed over ten thousand tons.

The water pressure here was terrifying to the extreme. If an ordinary Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator dared to dive to this depth, they would be crushed into a mass of flesh in an instant.

Even Great Ascension Stage or Early Stage Void Immortal Cultivators would find it difficult to move an inch here. Their protective spiritual light would be consumed at extreme speed, making them dare not set foot here lightly.

But under the guidance of Fairy Shuiyue, the two walked as if on level ground.

Fairy Shuiyue possessed the 'Three Thousand Weak Water Physique' to begin with; in this deep sea, it was as if she had returned to her home field.

A faint blue halo emanated from her body, and wherever she passed, the terrifying seawater automatically receded to both sides, forming a vacuum passage.

As for Lu Yuan, he was a Profound Immortal Late Stage expert with an incomparably powerful Physical Body. To him, this bit of water pressure wasn't even worth a gentle breeze on the face.

The two descended all the way without any obstruction.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint glimmer of fluorescence finally appeared in the endless darkness ahead.

As the distance closed, a massive and ancient ruin gradually presented itself in Lu Yuan's sight.

It was the ruins of an ancient underwater city shrouded by a huge semi-circular 'Water-Repelling Formation'.

Although it was unknown how many tens of thousands of years of erosion it had endured, and most of the buildings had collapsed and weathered away, that ancient and vicissitudinous aura still made one's heart tremble.

The two passed through the barrier of the Water-Repelling Formation and landed on the central square of the ruins.

In the very center of the square stood an ancient altar built of unknown grey giant stones.

The altar was a hundred zhang high and octagonal in shape. The surface of every giant stone was densely carved with incredibly complex and profound spatial runes using some kind of dark gold pigment.

Despite the passage of time and the altar even being covered in seaweed, those runes still flickered with a faint light, emitting a strange fluctuation that distorted time and space and connected two Realms.

Just by standing beneath the altar, Lu Yuan could feel the Law of Space in the surroundings becoming extremely active and chaotic.

This was—the Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation!

"Husband, it's here."

Fairy Shuiyue pointed at the altar ahead, but there was no joy of finding a way out in her eyes. Instead, her tone carried a hint of deep helplessness and worry.

She sighed and continued to explain: "This teleportation Formation was secretly constructed over a hundred years after my father paid a great price to invite a reclusive Great Grandmaster of Formations from the Immortal Realm."

"It can not only ignore spatial turbulence but also accurately locate a secret base of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce headquarters in the Daluo Heaven."

"However..." Fairy Shuiyue's tone shifted: "Several thousand years ago, a violent crustal movement swept through the four seas of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"That earthquake affected the deep sea. Although the Water-Repelling Formation blocked most of the impact, the core Formation hub inside the altar was damaged because it couldn't withstand the tremors of the Law of Space."

She led Lu Yuan onto the altar and pointed to a sunken, crack-filled circular Formation Plate in the center: "In the message Jade Slip my father left for me, he sternly warned that once the core hub is damaged, this teleportation Formation becomes a bottomless pit that devours life. It must never be easily activated. To repair it, the conditions are extremely demanding."

"First, one must have the terrifying attainment of a Great Grandmaster in the Dao of Formations, capable of discerning the arrangement and combination patterns of Immortal Realm Formation runes."
