121: Beneath the abyss!

For the next six days, Lin You and the other three, Qin Feng included, acted as if they were strolling through their own backyard.

Everywhere they went, their gains were overflowing.

Their reputation had long since spread throughout the entire Dragon Court Region.

The crowd went from initial rage to helplessness, and finally, even numbness.

An Elementary Dao Fruit appeared before their eyes.

A Third-rate Family Disciple looked left and right, not daring to reach out and take it.

Because they didn't know where a figure would pop out from, and that Sword Light, which illuminated the heavens and earth, would chop off his head.

Sure enough,

Less than half a minute after it appeared.

Four figures stood proudly in the Void Realm.

Lin You's calm voice echoed faintly: "I'll take this Dao Fruit."

The Third-rank Family Disciple honestly raised his hands, indicating he had no intention of fighting for it.

Only after Lin You and the others took the item away did a fierce look reappear on his face.

"What are you Divine Qi-ing about?"

"Let's see how many more days you can be smug!"

"Offending all the Longevity Families means you will surely die without a burial place!"

Seven days passed.

The entire Dragon Court Region transformed from its initial dim firmament to a sky now filled with golden light.

It was as if the concept of day and night had been lost here.

Only streams of Qi soared into the sky, condensing Dao Fruits.

Lin You and the others were tallying their final gains.

Elementary Dao Fruits: 123; Intermediate Dao Fruits: 31; Advanced Dao Fruits: 8.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves."

"I feel like something is wrong."

Lin You spoke in a deep voice.

The thick-headed Qin Feng looked up in astonishment, "Wrong? What's wrong? Isn't this going quite smoothly?"

Lin You was speechless, looking at his silly brother.

Zhuge Zhanquan, however, seemed to understand something and took over the conversation.

"They are afraid."

"But that doesn't mean they don't hate us internally."

"Haven't you noticed? Our progress has been unusually smooth over the past few days. Whenever we appear, they immediately back down without any resistance."

Qin Feng asked, confused, "Isn't that a good thing?"

Zhuge Zhanquan coughed, "It is a good thing, but you must realize that they are all Longevity Family Disciples after all."

"Their arrogance is higher than the heavens."

"It's impossible to say they have no thoughts at all!"

"Yet, retreating like this only has one explanation: they don't want to fight us to the death."

"It's as if they have some kind of tacit understanding, waiting for an opportunity."

"I think... this final opportunity will be when the Dragon Court closes. They will likely attack us en masse."

Lin You nodded heavily.

"Exactly, I think so too."

Zhuge Zhao blinked her large eyes, "Wow... then aren't we in great danger?"

Qin Feng grinned, showing his white teeth, and teased, "Dangerous? With your Brother Lin You protecting you, it's not dangerous at all!"

Zhuge Zhao immediately blushed, knowing Qin Feng was teasing her.

Because of the abundant harvest these past few days, she had frequently called him Brother Lin You.

But business is business... that's just her catchphrase... Hearing this, Zhuge Zhanquan's face instantly stiffened, and he nearly dropped the Dark Gold Iron Fan in his hand.

Damn it... what's the meaning of your bashfulness, you Silly Girl?

Holy crap!

Lin You pressed down on Qin Feng's shoulder, interrupting his banter.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Better safe than sorry."

"There are many Advanced Dao Fruits here. See which ones you can use and refine them as quickly as possible."

"If they truly plan to attack us when the Dragon Court ends, accumulating strength beforehand is the priority."

Saying this, Lin You pointed toward various parts of the Dragon Court.

Streams of subtle Qi rose from the ground; clearly, some people were already making Breakthroughs in secret.

Qin Feng didn't dawdle, immediately picking up two Dao Fruits.

"Then I'll take two."

Zhuge Zhao also chose two Dao Fruits containing True Fire. "I'll take two as well."

Zhuge Zhanquan felt awkward for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

Lin You shoved three Dao Fruits into his arms without explanation.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Getting out alive is the most important thing."

"Do you want to bring Sister Zhuge Zhao to die here with you?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Zhanquan finally put away his last bit of reluctance, his expression grave.

Immediately after,

Lin You put away all the Elementary Dao Fruits.

He selected one Advanced Dao Fruit for himself, and threw the remaining thirty-plus Intermediate Dao Fruits and one Advanced Dao Fruit to Zhuge Zhao.

"It's going to be a tough fight~"

"Remember to protect yourself well."

Zhuge Zhao's small face was flushed red. She timidly glanced at Zhuge Zhanquan beside her before accepting all the Dao Fruits.

"Go into Seclusion."

As Lin You's words fell, the three figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

The firmament began to grow heavier.

The pressure made people feel breathless.

Those were Great Daos that once hung suspended above the dome!

Vaguely, one could also see a faint Parasol Tree.

Lin You walked on the ground, his eyes thoughtful. He could sense a faint stirring ten thousand meters underground, as if some gigantic creature was sleeping there.

"Zhuge Changqing asked me to bring back a Legacy from a Zhuge Family Senior."

"Tsk..."

"In the past few days, we've explored almost the entire Dragon Court, except for the area beneath the Northwest Abyss..."

Lin You frowned.

That place...

Always made him feel inexplicably apprehensive.

This was the Innate intuition of a Cultivator.

"Since I was entrusted with this task, I should still go and take a look."

Lin You lifted his leg and headed straight for the Northwest Abyss.

Meanwhile, in the Lin Family's Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, a vibrant green figure's Qi was rapidly escalating, alarming everyone.

Liu Yaowen and Old Ancestor Fan Rui of Wandering Dragon Cave, who were nearby, were stunned.

Fan Rui swallowed, "Big Brother, what's going on!"

"It's one thing for his Cultivation to improve, but why did he turn into a Green Sprite?"

Liu Yaowen narrowed his eyes, as if he had realized something.

"No..."

"This is not Lord Lin You."

"It's... his external incarnation!"

Holy crap?

external incarnation?

Such an Advanced term!

Fan Rui's heart trembled wildly. He hadn't expected Big Brother to be hiding so much.

No wonder his Cultivation could improve so quickly; even this Clone before him gave him a sense of pressure originating from the Soul.

To avoid being outdone by Liu Yaowen, Fan Rui coughed.

"I figured that out long ago."

"Do I need you to tell me?"

"I was just testing you."

Liu Yaowen smiled slightly at Fan Rui, "Whatever makes you happy."

Inside the Northwest Abyss.

Howling cold winds swept up from beneath the cliff face.

As far as the eye could see, there was endless darkness and decay.

The rocks, which had withstood the baptism of time, were tormented beyond measure, emitting crisp cracking sounds at the slightest touch.

Lin You stood at the edge of the cliff, straining his eyes to look out.

He wanted to see clearly what lay beneath the Heavenly Abyss, but he could see nothing.

That faint sense of palpitation gradually enveloped him.

His heart began to accelerate involuntarily...—thump...—thump-thump... Subconsciously, Lin You felt he had come to the right place.

That Great Power of the Zhuge Family might be right here!

He took a step forward, and a fierce Yin Wind arose!

Pitch-black mist surged toward him.

Lin You no longer hesitated and rushed straight down beneath the Heavenly Abyss.

Vaguely... he seemed to hear some kind of roar... mixed with an indescribable Stench Wind and frenzy!
