669: Yaksha clan

"Daoist Hongye, you didn't mention Sky Rift Grassland before we came!" Lin Shiming and Old Woman Qingyu's expressions were a bit unfriendly.

They had also noticed that the grassland before them was somewhat unusual.

The Spiritual Qi in the air was intermittent, as if it had been cut by something.

The next moment, both their gazes suddenly fell on a corner of the grassland.

A flash of white light appeared there, disappearing in an instant.

Their Divine Sense was instantly drawn into that rift, and Lin Shiming continuously circulated the Soul Fusion Secret Canon to sever his Divine Sense.

But even so, Lin Shiming couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"How can we pass through this?" Lin Shiming's brow furrowed immediately.

His Divine Sense had been swallowed by that rift.

This kind of phenomenon is called a spatial rift in the Cultivation world.

Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, if caught in a rift and unable to sever a limb in time, faces the risk of falling.

Immortal Master Hongye's prior silence had concealed a major fact.

So, even Lin Shiming's expression was not very good at the moment.

Old Woman Qingyu beside him also looked over; even a Formation Master would be caught off guard by such a spatial rift.

"Seniors, please rest assured, since I didn't mention it, I naturally came prepared!" Immortal Master Hongye quickly apologized.

"I have cultivated a pupil technique called Thousand Illusions True Eye, which can clearly see spatial rifts, and I also have thirty-two Red Leaf Magic Treasures that can be used for testing and detection. Of course, this jade token also contains a specific route, and it's highly probable that there are no hidden spatial rifts within it."

Spatial rifts are divided into two types: fixed and mobile.

What everyone feared were precisely the mobile rifts.

If mobile rifts were combined with fixed ones, becoming dense, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would face a considerable risk of falling.

This was the reason for Lin Shiming and Old Woman Qingyu's apprehension.

As she spoke, Immortal Master Hongye took out a jade token, allowing everyone to see that the secret hall was not far away.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming actually understood in his heart that Immortal Master Hongye hadn't spoken because she knew they would rely on her.

That's why she concealed the existence of the Sky Rift Grassland from them, despite knowing about it.

Of course, from another perspective, if there hadn't been the Sky Rift Grassland, that secret hall would likely have been discovered long ago.

Even with a sixth-tier Formation, it would very likely not have been able to stop them.

"Daoist Hongye, if such an incident happens again, don't blame Lin for not cherishing old ties and leaving directly!" Lin Shiming looked at the rift and still warned her.

Old Woman Qingyu beside him almost conveyed the same meaning.

After Immortal Master Hongye repeatedly guaranteed that there would be no other problems,

the three then headed towards the Sky Rift Grassland.

The path naturally followed the route on the jade token, and around Immortal Master Hongye, thirty-two red leaves constantly hovered, eliminating any possible spatial Formations that might appear.

At the same time, Immortal Master Hongye's pupils lit up, continuously checking the surrounding situation.

And not only Immortal Master Hongye, but Old Woman Qingyu was also extremely cautious at this moment; a compass appeared in her hand, constantly scouting.

Although Immortal Master Hongye had given her assurance, at their status and age, who could truly entrust their safety to others?

Lin Shiming also took out the Blazing Golden Eye, a Magic Treasure he had once obtained from Immortal Master Xuri. Previously, he hadn't used it for fear of Immortal Master Hongye's apprehension, but now was the perfect time to inspect.

Coupled with the System's prompt, if not foolproof, he was at least safer than others.

And with so many preparations, the three continued to advance smoothly.

Only twice were Immortal Master Hongye's red leaves caught in the rift, resulting in the loss of one sub-Magic Treasure.

However, Immortal Master Hongye had clearly prepared many such Magic Treasures, and she quickly took out two more, immediately replenishing them.

In this way, half an hour later, the three finally passed through the Sky Rift Grassland, and seeing no more rifts, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems no one has been here; the Spirit Medicine is all still here!" Immortal Master Hongye said with some excitement at this moment.

It was also to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.

"Indeed, many of the Spirit Medicine here are fourth and fifth-tier, and there are quite a few with over a thousand years of medicinal age. No wonder those major powers guard the secret realm entrance; clearly, even without considering Innate Spirit Treasures, there are still many good things within the Cloud Realm." Lin Shiming did not dwell on the spatial rift.

Obtaining the heavenly wood divine water and refining the nascent soul pill as soon as possible was the most important thing at the moment.

Only by making a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul could he gain some initiative in the face of future turmoil.

"Let's divide these thousand-year Spirit Medicine among ourselves!" Old Woman Qingyu clearly found a Spirit Medicine she needed.

Lin Shiming and Immortal Master Hongye naturally wouldn't refuse at this moment.

The three then each took some Spirit Medicine.

Of course, mainly some rare ones.

Otherwise, even five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine wouldn't be considered too good.

Lin Shiming took the Opportunity to collect two Jade Star Fruits; this Spirit Fruit greatly enhances Body Cultivators.

Although Lin himself didn't need it, it would be a good decision to give it to Lin Shiyi or his Spirit Beast.

After collecting the Spirit Medicine, the three once again flew towards the distance.

Soon, a valley appeared before them.

However, the scene in this valley was surprising.

According to the jade token's reminder, the secret hall was in this valley, and there would be a Formation at the valley entrance.

But before them, there was no Formation, and their Divine Sense also saw the secret hall in the distance.

"No, someone has already entered!" Immortal Master Hongye immediately became extremely anxious!

This time, the heavenly wood divine water also concerned her chance to make a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, which was why she had gone to such lengths.

Now, seeing that someone seemed to have gotten there first, she naturally found it hard to accept!

Old Woman Qingyu also rushed out with her.

Anyone whose Opportunity and treasures were snatched would fight for them.

Only Lin Shiming hesitated a little.

They hadn't sensed any fluctuations, nor had they sensed the enemy's aura, and even the Spirit Medicine along the way hadn't been taken.

How could someone have entered the secret hall directly?

[Please be careful of the Yaksa Clan lurking in the shadows; you will obtain the heavenly wood divine water pool!]

At this moment, the System prompt, which had been absent for a long time, finally appeared for Lin Shiming.

And upon receiving the prompt, Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a chill. The Yaksa Clan was not present in the Great Yu World, which could only mean that, in addition to the Tai Gan Shark Clan, the Yaksa Clan and others had secretly smuggled themselves into this great world.

The Yaksha, as recorded in some ancient texts, were second only to ancient demons in existence, and were estimated to be no weaker than the Tai Gan Shark.

Of course, this 'no weaker' was relative to the Tai Gan Shark who had already adapted.

After all, those who crossed realms from the outside would be suppressed by the world, and only by fully adapting could they exert their full strength.

Lin did not know when this Yaksha had crossed realms.

Naturally, he couldn't assume they were merely at the lowest Nascent Soul True Lord level.

"Old Woman Qingyu, please prepare the Formation!" Lin Shiming appeared unmoved on the surface, also showing urgency, but secretly, he transmitted a message to Old Woman Qingyu.

The System prompt didn't say how many Yaksha there were, but setting up a Formation and relying on it would ensure no problems.
