157: It's not easy

"Your things?" Qingyang asked, puzzled.

In the center of the main hall, Ying She now completely ignored Kong Yun, his cold vertical pupils fixed on Qingyang.

"Yes, I need some things, it's actually very simple, that is, help me break through the Tenth-Order. I've been stuck at this order for a full nine hundred and forty-five years.

I don't want to wait anymore. Two hundred years ago, I found a dangerous place, thirty thousand miles further into the city. There are rumors there that it is the resting place of a Super Divine Beast.

If you can accompany me on a trip there, let alone Flowing Land Number Five, I can even find a way to get you Flowing Land Number Two."

Hearing that Ying She said they needed to go further into the city, Qingyang was a bit conflicted.

In contrast, Kong Yun looked eager to try, saying, "Super Divine Beast, this..."

Clearly, Kong Yun was tempted.

As for Qingyang, his first reaction was to ask seriously, "Roughly how long?"

Yes, regarding time, Qingyang didn't want to delay, so the issue of time was of great concern to him.

"Three months at the shortest, a year at the longest."

Hearing Ying She's explanation, Qingyang weighed the pros and cons, then immediately nodded and said, "Okay, when do we depart?"

Noticing how straightforward Qingyang was, Ying She couldn't help but look at him again and said, "Really? You don't need to consider it again? Originally, my plan

was to wait a bit longer, but since you seem a bit anxious, we'll depart in half a month. My current Flowing Land Number Five, I can give it to you directly now.

Go ahead and take possession of it now. I'll state this beforehand, I've invited a total of four Gatekeepers for this trip, including yourselves. Each person can only bring two companions.

After all, it's the resting place of a Super Divine Beast; we're not responsible for life or death. If you're afraid, you don't have to go."

Qingyang and Kong Yun didn't hear the latter part of Ying She's words; they only heard the instruction to bring two companions.

Are you kidding? To have reached their current strength, everyone had climbed up from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. If they were afraid, it's likely both Qingyang and Kong Yun would have died long ago.

After agreeing to gather at Ying She's residence in half a month, Kong Yun and Ying She immediately left to prepare.

As for Qingyang, after watching the two Gatekeepers leave, he immediately said to Jin Hua and Jin Sheng who were beside him, "Jin Hua, you heard it too.

During the time I'm away, everything should prioritize stability. Keep a constant eye on the situation in the city and stay in touch with Hong Zong and the others. Jin Sheng, you will return to the Flowing Land with me."

Two days later, after Qingyang and Jin Sheng returned to the Flowing Land, Qingyang immediately told Qingtian, who was well-informed, about the matter.

After hearing Qingyang say it was the resting place of a Super Divine Beast, Qingtian immediately laughed, "Get real. Every Super Divine Beast in the Inner Realm has a name and reputation. It's absolutely impossible for it to be a Super Divine Beast.

Thirty thousand miles inside Bei Guan City, let me think. You go ahead and take care of your business first."

Watching Qingtian fall into thought, Qingyang simply turned around and began making arrangements for the others.

"Jin Sheng, for the next few months, you and Hong Zong will stay in the Flowing Land and look out for each other. Remember, life comes first, resources second.

Since it's something similar to a forbidden area, strength and luck should both be indispensable. So my plan this time is to bring Blood Dragon and Bai Rou Rou.

This way, Hong Zong can focus all his efforts on breaking through to the Thirteenth-Order during this period."

As the agreed-upon date drew closer, Qingtian seemed to have died again, remaining quiet all day.

Until this day, as Qingyang, Blood Dragon, and Bai Rou Rou were preparing to leave, Qingtian, who had been quiet for ten full days, suddenly looked at Qingyang and spoke.

"I think I remember now. Let me give you a saying: Time gone is time lost forever, but an unwavering heart can shake the heavens. It's indeed not a Super Divine Beast, but it is a very peculiar Divine Beast."

After saying this, no matter how Qingyang asked, Qingtian was like a dead person again, no longer responding.

On the way back to the city to gather, Qingyang occasionally muttered to himself, "Time gone is time lost forever, but an unwavering heart can shake the heavens?"

Two days later, when Qingyang, Blood Dragon, and Bai Rou Rou finally arrived at Ying She's residence, the other four Gatekeepers, each leading two companions, had already been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, with Qingyang's arrival, especially with the combination of a Thirteenth-Order early-stage Bone Beast, a Thirteenth-Order early-stage Fierce Beast, and a Twelfth-Order late-stage Fierce Beast, the twelve strong individuals present all looked towards Qingyang.

And Qingyang also began to size up these twelve strong individuals.

Undoubtedly, Ying She's team was the strongest.

Ying She, a Thirteenth-Order peak Divine Beast, two companions, a Thirteenth-Order late-stage Fierce Beast similar to a golden toad, and a Thirteenth-Order late-stage Human.

Next was another team to Ying She's right; the leader was a Thirteenth-Order peak Human, but he was accompanied by two Thirteenth-Order late-stage Fierce Beasts.

Then there was Kong Yun. This guy finally revealed his true strength this time. Blank had successfully broken through to the Thirteenth-Order late-stage and was accompanying him.

But there was also a Fierce Beast whose specific combat power was unknown, but it had reached the Thirteenth-Order peak. It seemed to be Kong Yun's hidden card.

Undoubtedly, among these five teams, Qingyang's team, judged purely by realm, was the lowest.

So Qingyang's side was also the most low-key.

After everyone had gathered, Ying She nodded slightly to the Gatekeepers, and he immediately rushed straight into the city.

This was Qingyang's first time venturing further into the depths of the Inner Realm.

Along the way, as the team of fifteen strong individuals advanced rapidly, Qingyang also noticed that the further they went into the depths of the Inner Realm,

the overall strength of these creatures also became stronger and stronger.

At least, after reaching twenty thousand miles, none of the strong individuals they could notice had a strength below the Tenth-Order.

Along the way, based on Ying She's account, Qingyang learned that this forbidden area was something Ying She had stumbled into by accident back then, located inside a large mountain.

At that time, Ying She was trapped for a full three years before managing to escape from this place, but upon returning, the various forces in Bei Guan City had not noticed that Ying She had been missing for three years.

Later, Ying She also consciously began to study, and eventually learned that this thing was actually an array formation created by ancient Human strong individuals.

Now, Ying She had initially learned some basic array formations, at least enough not to get lost.

As for what would happen inside, Ying She himself didn't know.

Furthermore, the reason Ying She was so certain that this place definitely contained treasure was because, when Ying She was trapped back then, he accidentally saw a mountain.

A mountain piled up with zhen crystal, and this mountain of massive resources not only had zhen crystal but also various other more precious things.

Ying She's description made Qingyang, who was at the back of the team, guess a possibility.

That is, could the other party have encountered the legendary mirage?
