188: The Way to Heaven

Yang Chenfeng nodded.

Just as he was about to make a promise, Yang Yi raised his hand.

"No need."

"They can go, but I'm not going."

Leaving that sentence behind, Yang Yi didn't give anyone else a chance to speak.

He bolted and ran out, disappearing in a flash.

Looking outside, he said, "If he doesn't go, then he doesn't go."

"Without him, are we helpless?"

The Disciples of the other two Old Ancestors also followed suit with sarcastic remarks.

"What an arrogant fellow."

"Does he think we all need his protection?"

"Hmph, if he doesn't go, so be it."

"I didn't even want him to go."

"The three of us are more than enough to protect everyone."

While the three of them were making grand statements, the rest remained silent.

These three had taken turns fighting Yang Yi, and none of them could defeat him.

This clearly showed the gap between Yang Yi and the three of them.

They would rather have one Yang Yi than these three.

Yang Yi returned to his courtyard, not taking the matter to heart.

With the Three Old Ancestors backing those three Elders, he wouldn't have to go to the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

He wished for nothing more.

The next day, Yue Lingxin brought him good news.

For Yue Lingxin, it was good news.

For Yang Yi, it was nothing short of a thunderbolt.

"Yang Yi, I have good news for you:"

"Those three Elders aren't going anymore."

"You can come with us now."

Yang Yi shot her an annoyed side-glance, remaining silent.

The sword in his hand moved with even more ferocity than before.

Seeing the sharp swordplay he displayed, Yue Lingxin was frightened and stepped back.

"What are you doing?"

"Aren't you happy to come with us?"

"Happy? What's there to be happy about?"

"Can I be happy going to my death?"

Yang Yi put away his sword.

Seeing that this little girl didn't know the danger of this trip, he angrily flung his sword.

The sword embedded itself into the courtyard wall, with only the hilt remaining.

"It's not as scary as you say."

"I've been there once before."

"It's quite fun there."

"And you can gain quite a lot."

"You've been there?"

Yang Yi was a little curious.

He had thought it was Yue Lingxin's first time going, but he didn't expect her to have already been once.

Yue Lingxin proudly lifted her small head.

"Of course."

"Don't underestimate me."

"Although your strength is greater than mine, in Luoyue Sect, my strength is not bad."

Yang Yi asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Yue Lingxin shook her head.

"There's nothing else."

"Master told me that this matter has been settled."

"He told you not to leave the Sect for a while, as we could depart at any time."

Yang Yi hummed in response, saying nothing more.

Yue Lingxin also said nothing further to Yang Yi and skipped away.

Three days later, the eleven people from Luoyue Sect came to find Yang Yi.

Today, they were preparing to set off for the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

Yang Yi had nothing to pack; he was ready to leave at a moment's notice.

A group of twelve people, mighty and grand, set off for the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

The Tian Yuan Secret Realm was located in a remote jungle in the easternmost part of Yunzhou.

On the edge of the jungle was a small town named Tongtian Town.

Despite being a small town, its name was quite imposing: Tongtian, meaning 'reaching the heavens'.

Originally, there was no town here.

After the Tian Yuan Secret Realm appeared, this town slowly took shape.

Developing to the present, the town now has over ten thousand people.

The people in the town know a great deal about the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, but not a single person has entered it.

With the opening of the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, the town also became lively.

Many powerful individuals came, some preparing to enter the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, some just coming to watch the excitement, and others harboring different intentions.

When Yang Yi and his group arrived, the inns were already full of people.

Some large households also housed many people.

Yang Yi and his group had no place to stay, so they set up a tent near the town.

There were many people like them.

Looking around, tents outside the town stretched endlessly, one after another.

Because the Tian Yuan Secret Realm had not yet opened, they could only wait here temporarily.

The next day, when Yang Yi was strolling through the town, he met many acquaintances.

Among them were Jin Yanxi, Jin Fengxian, and Jin Xiaodie from the Jinling Family.

Jin Xiaodie's participation in this Tian Yuan Secret Realm surprised Yang Yi greatly.

Her strength was very low; logically, she had no qualifications.

He didn't know what the Jinling Family was thinking.

He felt this might be related to him.

Even before the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opened, strange phenomena had already appeared in the heavens and earth.

Looking into the distance, one could see that the clouds in the sky had turned a purplish-red and were continuously falling downwards.

Layer upon layer, they resembled a staircase.

Above the cloud staircase, a dark cloud of mist could be seen.

This dark cloud of mist was enveloped by the purplish-red clouds, making it extremely conspicuous.

The black cloud was slowly spreading outwards.

Currently, only a head-sized hole had opened.

Yue Lingxin told Yang Yi that the hole spreading from the black mist was the gate to the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

The purplish-red cloud staircase had not yet reached the ground.

Once it did, they could step on the purplish-red clouds and arrive before the black mist.

Once the black mist stopped spreading and formed the shape of a door, they could enter.

Yang Yi listened, mesmerized, never expecting such a sight in the world.

When he had nothing to do, Yang Yi would gaze at the strange clouds in the sky.

This was a very beautiful and rare painting.

There were also some painters who specifically came here just to depict this scenery.

Ten days later, the purplish-red clouds had descended to the ground, forming a staircase that reached straight to the heavens and earth.

The black cloud was still spreading, and had now expanded into the shape of a door.

However, because it was still spreading outwards, they still couldn't enter.

But Yang Yi and his group could already proceed.

According to past judgments, after the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opened, it would exist for two days.

As long as one entered within two days, there would be no problem.

After two days, it would automatically close.

It would reopen three months later.

However, only those who had entered the Tian Yuan Secret Realm could come out; no one could go back in.

Some people, impatient, began to rush towards the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

Yang Yi and his group, however, were not in a hurry.

When the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opened, some people instantly rushed in, while others were still observing.

Yang Yi and his group only began to move at this time.

Arriving before the purplish-red clouds, Yang Yi gently touched them with his hand.

His hand could pass through the mist.

The mist wrapped around his arm, feeling slightly cool.

There was nothing special about it.

He pulled his hand back, and his hand was fine.

Yang Yi carefully stepped onto a patch of cloud.

With a slight force, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

His hand could clearly pass through easily, but when his foot stepped on it, it was able to support him.

It was as if there was an iron plate underneath the clouds.

Initially, Yang Yi walked very carefully.

Later, he walked faster and faster.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, they saw a group of people rushing inside.
