15: The Road to the Void, a colossal beast of the void!

"What? Do the Young Master's appointments need to be discussed with you?"

The women on the Galley were buzzing with discussion. Gu Qingchen said nothing, but Zhao Linger, who was by his side, gave a light huff.

In an instant, the entire Galley fell silent.

"It's fine."

Gu Qingchen waved his hand dismissively and smiled. "Linger, don't be so serious. Everyone is just worried about me.

However, there is naturally a reason why I made this decision."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Yourong. His gaze was friendly yet carried a hint of profound depth. "Furthermore, I believe that You Rong will not let us down."

"Ah?"

Seeing everyone looking over, their gazes were either searching or questioning. Only from Gu Qingchen's gaze did Jiang Yourong feel a sense of firm trust.

She took a deep breath and nodded seriously. "I will definitely not fail everyone's expectations, and I certainly won't fail the Young Master's trust!"

The other women remained noncommittal regarding Jiang Yourong's statement.

While they would temporarily follow Jiang Yourong's command during this Underground Cave Trial due to Gu Qingchen's orders, for her to truly gain their recognition, she would have to demonstrate her own special qualities in the upcoming trial.

Gu Qingchen, however, was not worried about this at all.

With a Golden Finger similar to intercepting opportunities, Jiang Yourong was bound to shine brilliantly in this Underground Cave Trial.

With that thought, he waved his hand, and a streak of light shot toward Jiang Yourong, transforming into a glittering golden treasure basin.

"Is this the treasure basin?"

Jiang Yourong looked at the treasure basin spinning before her eyes. Her eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, like two crescent moons.

The treasure basin before her looked as if it were carved from golden jade marrow. It was radiant, and a soft, nourishing golden haze instantly filled the entire Galley.

It was somewhat different from the metal treasure basin she had imagined, but it was even more miraculous.

Now, her confidence was even greater.

"With the treasure basin and my ability to intercept opportunities, this Underground Cave Trial will surely be a bountiful harvest!"

Jiang Yourong held the treasure basin, playing with it as if she couldn't bear to put it down.

To be honest, with the support of the Opportunity Interception System, she originally had a ninety-eight percent certainty, which felt a tiny bit unstable.

With the addition of the treasure basin, she now had one hundred percent confidence!

...The Galley was extremely fast, possessing the power of Void Tempering.

In just three days, everyone crossed mountains and seas, arriving at the edge of the continent!

"We've actually reached the edge of the continent?"

Jiang Yourong looked at the chaotic void at the continent's edge, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. "Young Master, is the Underground Cave Trial not on the Xuantian Continent?"

"Naturally."

Gu Qingchen nodded. "The Xuantian Continent is the Holy Land's headquarters. With the Xuantian Holy Land suppressing it, there is no environment for Underground Demon Grottos to exist on a large scale. There are only some small grottos raised by the Holy Land left, which aren't qualified to be trial grounds."

"Then which continent is the Underground Cave Trial on?"

"It seems Junior Sister Jiang hasn't properly studied the 'xuantian notes' issued by the Holy Land."

Seeing Jiang Yourong's curious expression, Zhao Linger couldn't help but chuckle from the side.

"There's just too much content in the 'xuantian notes'."

Jiang Yourong's jade-like little face turned slightly red, flashing with a hint of bashfulness.

The 'xuantian notes' issued by the Holy Land had a full ten thousand pages, covering everything from various factions, regions, supreme treasures, to secret lore. Since it wasn't a Cultivation Technique, it wasn't transmitted via Jade Slip; one had to read it page by page, which was very time-consuming.

Ever since joining the sect, she had been busy intercepting various opportunities and truly hadn't spent time properly studying the contents of the 'xuantian notes'.

"Next, we will pass through the Guixu Passage to reach the Canglan Continent. This Underground Cave Trial is located in the Underground Demon Grotto of the Canglan Continent."

Gu Qingchen replied casually while maneuvering the Galley into the Guixu Passage.

The Guixu Passage was a series of navigation routes opened by supreme experts within the chaotic void between various continents.

It contained Dao imprints and integrated many functions such as protection, teleportation, traversal, and suppression.

Without the Guixu Passage, even powerful experts of the Dao Profound Realm could not travel between continents. Not to mention the space-time storms that occasionally swept through the chaotic void, the Void Giant Beasts living within the chaotic void alone would be enough for them to handle.

"It's so beautiful."

Jiang Yourong stood at the bow, looking out through the Galley's transparent protective shield.

She saw a vast and endless continent anchored in the chaotic void, as if suspended in the center of the Universe!

And around this continent, countless stars revolved, forming patches of nebulae!

Every one of those stars was a Small World.

These Small Worlds existed by attaching themselves to the Xuantian Continent, nourished by its Origin Qi. They also gave birth to many living beings, including experts of the Three Spirit Realm or even the Three Profound Realm!

Even though it wasn't the first time seeing such a magnificent and grand scene, Jiang Yourong was still incredibly shocked.

"Only such a magnificent world can nurture so many powerful experts."

Even Gu Qingchen felt some emotion.

According to the 'xuantian notes', there were three hundred and sixty-five continents in this Universe, matching the number of the Zhou Tian.

Each continent was as large as the Xuantian Continent before them, practically boundless.

If an ordinary Dao Profound Realm expert did not use a Galley or the void passages opened by ancient experts, they could fly for a lifetime and still not reach from one end of a continent to the other.

The range of Origin Qi from these continents was even larger, with each continent surrounded by hundreds of thousands or even millions of stellar Small Worlds.

In addition, there were layers upon layers of space-time Secret Realms and dimensional Small Worlds.

Even the 'xuantian notes' could not clearly state exactly how many of these Secret Realms and Small Worlds there were.

Because at every moment, new space-time Secret Realms and new dimensional Small Worlds were being discovered.

"Rumble!"

At that moment, the chaotic currents in the void ahead churned, and then a dark-gold giant beast burst into everyone's sight.

It looked like a giant Kun with horns on its head.

"It's a Void Giant Beast!"

"It's so huge!"

"It really is massive. It must be hundreds or thousands of times larger than our Galley, with a body length of at least five or six thousand miles!"

"This Void Giant Beast won't charge at us, will it? I wonder if our Galley can withstand it."

"..."

Many people on the Galley were startled.

Because Void Giant Beasts were very rare, many of them were seeing such a colossus for the first time.

The pressure brought by such a beast could easily trigger a hidden fear of giant objects deep in one's heart, far exceeding the shock brought by ordinary Yao Beasts.

"Ang!"

At this point, the Void Giant Beast also seemed to have discovered them. It let out a long cry and charged over with an Aura that seemed to shift the stars...
