82: Chapter 82: The True Strength Revealed! The Immortal Abode Opens and the Shocked Women

The wind in the back of Medicine Valley carried a hint of freshness after the rain.

Gu Yi held Valley Master Yan Shuyao's hand, walking unhurriedly along the winding bluestone steps back to the quiet courtyard where guests were hosted in Medicine Valley.

Inside the small courtyard, the atmosphere had originally been somewhat anxious.

Fei Yuechan, dressed in snow-white robes, stood with her hands behind her back under a Bodhi tree in the courtyard, her cold, frost-like face faintly showing a hint of distracted worry.

Liu Qingwan was leaning against the wooden railing of the corridor, completely devoid of decorum, fiddling with a brand-new wine gourd in her hand, her gaze drifting toward the courtyard gate from time to time.

As for Junior Sister Lin Wanying, she was boredly plucking the leaves of the Spiritual Plants in the flowerbed.

Hearing the footsteps at the courtyard gate, the three ladies raised their heads almost at the same time.

"Senior Brother!"

Junior Sister Lin Wanying was the first to toss away the grass leaves in her hand, pouncing over like a cheerful lark.

Fei Yuechan's gaze crossed half the courtyard and landed straight on Gu Yi.

When she saw clearly that Gu Yi was not only unscathed but that his aura was even more vigorous and profound than before his injury, the Lanyue Peak Revered Master finally relaxed her tense shoulders.

However, when the gazes of Fei Yuechan and Liu Qingwan swept over Valley Master Yan Shuyao, who was walking half a step behind Gu Yi, a trace of undisguised astonishment flashed in both ladies' eyes.

As experts at the Soul Transformation Stage, they naturally saw at a glance the changes in this Medicine Fairy.

Valley Master Yan Shuyao had not only successfully broken through the Bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage and stepped into the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage, but more importantly, the charm flowing between her brows, as well as the unreserved tenderness and attachment in her eyes when looking at Gu Yi, could not be hidden by any words.

Fei Yuechan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she took a deep look at Valley Master Yan Shuyao. A woman's intuition made her understand many things in that instant.

However, this usually cold and protective Revered Master did not speak to point it out. If this Medicine Valley Revered Master had not exhausted her Origin to save her disciple at the cost of her own life these past few days, her disciple would likely have perished under the Demoness's chains long ago.

"Since you have recovered, do not run around outside," Fei Yuechan walked forward, her tone carrying a hint of feigned coldness, though the concern in her eyes was almost overflowing. "Sword King City has sent a message that the Sect has dispatched the Enforcement Hall to take over the aftermath. We have disturbed Valley Master Yan Shuyao here for many days; it is time to prepare to return to the Sect."

Listening to her Revered Master's arrangements, Gu Yi smiled slightly.

He did not follow Fei Yuechan's words to agree to return to the Sect, but instead looked around at the ladies in the courtyard with a gentle gaze.

"Returning to the Sect can wait."

Gu Yi walked to the center of the courtyard, a serious and determined light flickering in his deep black eyes.

"These past few days, whether it was the demonic disaster in Sword King City or Gu's near-death injury, everyone has been worried. Since the crisis has been resolved today, it is time to show everyone something."

Facing the confused gazes of the ladies, Gu Yi slowly raised his right hand.

A warm jade pendant, dark gold in color and engraved with countless complex and ancient spatial array patterns, appeared quietly in his palm.

Gu Yi did not offer much explanation; he simply injected his condensed and pure Pure Yang True Qi into the jade pendant in his palm.

Hum—!

Accompanied by a low and vast spatial humming sound, the dark gold jade pendant slowly rose from Gu Yi's palm and hovered in the air of the courtyard.

Immediately after, a vast spatial Law, surpassing the common sense of the current cultivation world, surged out in all directions with the jade pendant as the center.

The Void Realm above the courtyard seemed to be forcibly torn apart by a pair of invisible hands. A dark golden boundary gate, tens of feet high and emitting an ancient Immortal spiritual aura, slowly opened before everyone's eyes.

What emanated from that boundary gate was not violent spatial turbulence, but an Immortal Dao Spiritual Qi so dense it was suffocating and so pure it contained not a trace of Impurities. Even just a breeze overflowing from the gap in the gate made everyone present feel an unprecedented clarity of their Divine Soul.

"This is... a spatial boundary?!"

This time, not only Liu Qingwan and Valley Master Yan Shuyao, but even the knowledgeable Fei Yuechan had a deep shock appear on her usually calm and beautiful face.

As experts at the Soul Transformation Stage, they could tear through space for short-distance void movement and knew some principles of storage Magic Treasures. But the aura of the Law contained behind this gate was by no means a simple Storage Ring or a mustard seed space.

This was clearly a Small World independent of the world, possessing complete heavenly Laws!

"This is my, Gu Yi's, true foundation, and it is a place that belongs only to us."

Gu Yi turned around, looking at the stunned ladies, a gentle smile curling at the corners of his mouth. He reached out toward the dark golden boundary gate, making an inviting gesture.

"Let's go, I will take you to see our new home."

After speaking, Gu Yi took the first step and crossed into the dark golden light gate.

Fei Yuechan and the others looked at each other, suppressed the stormy waves in their hearts, and followed closely into the light gate.

Crossing the spatial barrier that looked like water ripples, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

When the ladies saw the world behind the gate clearly, everyone's breathing stopped at this moment.

What came into view was a vast, boundless world, like a fairyland on earth.

Auspicious seven-colored clouds floated in the sky, and endless rolling Spiritual Vein mountains stretched as far as the eye could see.

Several massive floating islands emitting brilliant Immortal light hovered quietly in mid-air. Silver-white Spiritual Spring waterfalls poured down from the edges of those floating islands, falling into the huge Spiritual Lake below that looked like a mirror, stirring up ripples of Spiritual Qi mist.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi here was more than a hundred times stronger than the main peak of the Xuantian Sect, which was known as a blessed land outside. With every breath, one could feel pure Spiritual Qi drilling into the body through the pores, spontaneously cleansing the Meridians.

"This... how is this possible..."

The wine gourd in Liu Qingwan's hand dropped onto the grass filled with Spiritual Qi with a "clatter." This female Elder, who was usually lazy and casual and seemed not to care about anything in the world, now had her red lips slightly parted, and her alluring peach-blossom eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.

Even if the foundations of all the top Sects in the Central Plains were added together, they could never create such an independent world that seized the good fortune of heaven and earth!

Junior Sister Lin Wanying was already so excited she couldn't speak. She ran back and forth on the grass, which was rich in Spiritual Qi, like an elf who had strayed into a fairyland, feeling the pure Immortal spiritual aura all around.

Valley Master Yan Shuyao stood by Gu Yi's side, her gaze sweeping over the towering floating Immortal islands, her heart filled with more than just shock; it was an indescribable pride.

And among this group, the one who received the greatest impact was none other than Fei Yuechan.

As a Sect peak Revered Master, she understood the strategic value of such an independent Immortal Abode better than anyone. This was not just an excellent Holy Land for Cultivation, but an absolutely impregnable fortress.

As long as they hid here, even if the world outside collapsed and the demonic calamity descended, it would be impossible to harm them in the slightest.

Gu Yi took in the shock of all the ladies.

He walked to Fei Yuechan's side and, in full view of everyone, naturally took the slightly cold jade hand of this cold Revered Master.

This gesture was not only a sign of respect for her as a Revered Master and Elder, but also Gu Yi using practical actions to soothe the fright she had suffered from his serious injury over the past few days, and to establish her irreplaceable status in this "home."

Fei Yuechan's fingers stiffened slightly, but she did not pull away. She lowered her eyes, looking at their clasped hands, and her heart, which had almost shattered in the ruins of Sword King City, was completely filled with an unprecedented sense of security at this moment.

"Let's go, Revered Master."

Gu Yi squeezed Fei Yuechan's hand, led her, and turned into a cyan stream of light, flying toward the most magnificent floating main palace in the center.

"There are countless palaces and courtyards in this Immortal Abode. Today, everyone can go and choose a courtyard that you like. From now on, no matter how the wind and rain are outside, this place is our absolutely safe home."

Liu Qingwan and Valley Master Yan Shuyao looked at each other and smiled, each using their movement techniques, taking Junior Sister Lin Wanying, who was still frolicking on the grass, and followed in Gu Yi's footsteps, flying together toward the towering Immortal palace standing in the clouds.
