687: Chapter 687 Master, don't speak, hold me tight!

Soon, Su Yun arrived before those dangerous steps, preparing to walk directly up.

But at this moment, his hand was gently tugged, causing him to pause and stop in his tracks.

Turning his head to look,

it was indeed Meng Shuyan's delicate hand pulling him back with a bit of force.

Su Yun was somewhat puzzled and asked directly, "Revered Master? What are you doing?"

"Yun'er... how about... Revered Master goes first from here?" Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she pursed her red lips.

Although Yun'er believed that the Cultivators who vanished earlier had likely just experienced an illusion,

what if it wasn't?

Then it would be troublesome!

So, it was better for her to go ahead and scout the path first.

"Revered Master, don't talk nonsense. How could I let you go first?"

Su Yun shook his head and immediately vetoed the idea.

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on her delicate hand.

A trace of worry flashed in Meng Shuyan's eyes as she continued, "But..."

"There are no 'buts'! Revered Master, let's go up together!"

Su Yun smiled slightly and gently massaged her delicate hand.

He didn't mean anything else by it.

He just felt that his Revered Master was a bit too tense.

He was simply helping her relax!

Feeling his somewhat restless movements, Meng Shuyan's pretty face blushed slightly, and she felt a bit helpless.

"Alright, Yun'er!"

Then, Su Yun walked shoulder-to-shoulder with her.

The two of them stepped directly onto the step in front of them.

Buzz, buzz, buzz——————

The nine-colored Dao rhyme surrounding the step flickered slightly.

Su Yun and Meng Shuyan were instantly enveloped by an invisible Great Dao Power.

This Great Dao Power appeared extremely suddenly.

It was completely impossible to defend against.

Yet Su Yun's expression remained incredibly calm, without the slightest panic.

Because he could sense that the Great Dao Power enveloping him and his Revered Master

did not carry any aura of danger.

Clearly, his deduction from earlier was correct!

However, it looked different in the eyes of the powerful experts from various factions behind them.

They watched as Su Yun and Meng Shuyan, just like the Cultivators before them,

became somewhat illusory before slowly fading away like ink washing out.

Their auras were also rapidly vanishing.

This frightened the other Holy Land experts who were following behind, causing them to halt.

But right at that moment, Su Yun suddenly felt his footing give way, as if the step had completely vanished.

Immediately after, the Great Dao Power that had just enveloped him

suddenly forced him to plunge downward.

"Here it comes. This is probably the entry into the trial of the Ancient Road to Immortality!"

Seeing this, Su Yun's eyes flashed with a bright light, filled with some anticipation.

He reacted instantly, pulling Meng Shuyan into his embrace with quick hands and sharp eyes.

After all, if he didn't do this, based on his years of experience exploring Secret Realms, he would likely be separated from his Revered Master.

If that happened, it would be quite troublesome!

"Yun'er?" Meng Shuyan's delicate body trembled slightly, her voice soft and tender.

"Revered Master, don't speak, hold me tight!" Su Yun whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, the tips of Meng Shuyan's ears turned slightly red. She did as told, wrapping her delicate arms tightly around him while leaning against his chest.

Feeling the warm aura emanating from Su Yun, her eyes rippled like water, and her breath was as sweet as orchids. "Alright... I'll listen to Yun'er~"

The two held each other tightly.

They continued to plunge downward.

It took a long time, yet they still hadn't reached the ground.

As if an endless abyss lay beneath them.

During this process, Meng Shuyan closed her eyes somewhat shyly.

As for Su Yun, he didn't pay attention to the warm, fragrant beauty in his arms; instead, he looked around with a solemn expression.

He found that the surrounding scenery was just like being in the Void Realm.

Everywhere was pitch-black and dim.

But unlike the external Void Realm, the surroundings contained an extremely terrifying power of the Great Dao Power.

It was somewhat like the scenes within the overlapping chaotic spaces in the Guixu Plain before—bizarre and motley.

Except that the phantom images of black chains would occasionally flicker faintly nearby.

Seeing this, Su Yun fell into deep thought, and many questions surfaced in his mind.

"These black chains look similar to the ones that bound the eye of heavenly punishment earlier.

So where exactly is this place?

To think that I can actually see black chains here, which are suspected to be formed by Jiyuan Palace's seal on the Haomiao Realm?"

After pondering for a moment,

there was still no answer.

Su Yun couldn't help but shake his head and stop thinking.

Perhaps... he would find the answer to this question once they reached the end of the Ancient Road!

Then, he looked around once more, observing the state of the Great Dao Power in the surroundings.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Perhaps half a stick of incense's time?

Or perhaps several hours?

A dense, misty white light suddenly appeared before Su Yun's eyes.

After a few breaths, the misty white light grew denser and denser, until it completely enveloped the two of them.

Thud—————

Su Yun and Meng Shuyan finally fell onto the ground.

The misty white light enveloping them instantly dissipated at this moment.

The surrounding scenery also underwent a massive change.

What met their eyes were ancient, towering trees millions of feet tall all around, lush and green, piercing straight into the clouds and blotting out the sky.

The dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi turned into a misty spiritual fog, drifting all around, with complex great dao patterns occasionally flickering within it.

"Where is this?" Su Yun released his embrace of Meng Shuyan, looking around with a vigilant expression.

Meng Shuyan opened her eyes, her face flushed red, but she instantly regained her composure. She let go of him, took light, elegant steps to the side, and observed the surroundings.

After a moment, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she said directly:

"Yun'er... the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is so dense! It's only slightly inferior to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside your Immortal Artifact, the Heavenly Flame Palace.

I didn't expect there to be such a space within the Ancient Road to Immortality!"

"But... where are the other Elders?"

"The other Elders? Let me check..."

Hearing this, with a thought, Su Yun released his powerful Divine Sense to sweep the surroundings.

He searched for quite a long time.

But the result was nothing.

He didn't find any other Taixuan Elders.

Nor did he find any of the Cultivators who had entered before them.

And most peculiarly, even though this was clearly a trial ground within the Ancient Road to Immortality,

he couldn't detect any dangerous areas.

It was as if this place was simply an earthly paradise overflowing with Spiritual Qi.

Su Yun: "Either they didn't make it in, or they fell somewhere else!"

"Perhaps so!"

"So is this the place where the trial of the Ancient Road to Immortality takes place? What exactly is it testing?"

Meng Shuyan knitted her delicate brows, somewhat puzzled.

"Let's go, Revered Master. Let's look around! Perhaps once we leave this forest, we'll find out what the trial is about,"

Su Yun suggested.

"Mm, alright!" Meng Shuyan nodded slightly, her lips parting.

"We should be able to fly here!"

Su Yun took a step forward and transformed into a streak of light, flying directly into the air without encountering any resistance.
