"Miss Lin."
Yi Yun smiled. He knew that Lin Xintong would come.
Back then, the first time Yi Yun sparred with Lin Xintong was under this waterfall.
Without a word, Lin Xintong attacked. A cold, soft sword stabbed at Yi Yun like a silver snake!
Lin Xintong's attack contained an indescribable charm. It was like a beautiful dance.
Yi Yun's eyes flashed. His legs moved his body, and with a movement of his shoulders, his body turned into a series of afterimages. Minute Subtlety!
Yi Yun dodged Lin Xintong's attack by a hair's breadth. Although Yi Yun's dodging looked dangerous, every move was under Yi Yun's control. It was perfect!
"Your grasp of Minute Subtlety is becoming more and more proficient."
Lin Xintong kept her sword and praised Yi Yun. But with a twist, she said, "You are now only at the small success stage of Minute Subtlety. Using your opponent's momentum to dodge attacks, you still have a long way to go before you reach the large success stage of Minute Subtlety."
"What is the large success stage of Minute Subtlety?"
Yi Yun humbly asked.
Lin Xintong walked down from the rock and gently combed the hair in front of her forehead. She said, "The large success stage of Minute Subtlety has to be understood by yourself. If others say it, it will not be your own. It might even limit your understanding … Follow me, I'll bring you somewhere."
"Oh?" Yi Yun nodded. Just as he was about to follow Lin Xintong, he saw Lin Xintong stretch out her hand.
That hand was as white as jade and as delicate as cream. It was stretched out in front of Yi Yun.
"Give me your hand." Lin Xintong said very naturally.
"Oh?" Yi Yun was stunned. He looked at Lin Xintong's ridiculously beautiful hand and was momentarily dazed. It wasn't good to hold this hand, right …
Yi Yun was a little looking forward to it, but he also felt a little guilty. This was because Lin Xintong looked too pure, making it hard for people to profane her.
But thinking about it, they had already exchanged palms. Holding hands again … It was nothing.
Yi Yun took a light breath and gently pinched the beautiful hand. The slender fingers were as white as a spring. The soft touch was not enough to describe it as boneless. It was so soft that it made people feel like they were holding a clear spring.
"Her skin is so cold …"
Every time Yi Yun had skin contact with Lin Xintong, he would have such a feeling. Lin Xintong was really like flesh and blood made of water. The feeling she gave people was like a misty drizzle in the mountains, bringing with it a refreshing and light aura.
"Let's go."
As Lin Xintong spoke, her body floated up into the sky. The night wind blew gently, causing her dress to flutter. She looked like Chang 'e who had ascended to the Moon Palace.
And behind Lin Xintong, Yi Yun felt a pulling force as his body felt light. It was flying!
The wind whistled in his ears as Yi Yun flew straight up into the sky. The waterfall beneath his feet was rapidly disappearing into the distance, but the starry sky above his head was getting closer. Yi Yun was stunned.
Up in the air!
Flying in the sky with only his physical body.
Yi Yun looked down and saw the mountains standing tall in the night. The insurmountable mountains and rivers that usually made people sigh at the sight of them were now like insignificant shallow waves, quickly passing beneath their feet. This feeling … was too wonderful!
The night was endless and the starry sky was bright. In the sky, a full moon that was as bright as a silver plate, Lin Xintong's white dress fluttered in the wind. Pulling the linen-clothed Yi Yun, she flew past the bright moon and into the distance, leaving behind a dreamy figure.
Flying with Lin Xintong, Yi Yun's heart could only be described as shocked. This was the first time in his life that he was using his body to fly.
Flying with his body. This was a human's dream, but practicing martial arts could make it come true.
Yi Yun and Lin Xintong flew for two hours.
Yi Yun felt that they had flown at least 400 miles before Lin Xintong began to descend with Yi Yun.
They landed in a valley. This valley was deep and cold. There was a constant cold wind blowing from the valley, making one's hair stand on end.
Lin Xintong released Yi Yun's hand and said, "We are here."
The softness in his hand dissipated. That frail and boneless feeling also disappeared. Yi Yun still felt nostalgic, but very quickly, he was attracted by the deep and large valley in front of him.
"This is …"
Yi Yun's eyelids twitched. From the valley, he could faintly hear the low growls of wild beasts. It was as if there was a terrifying existence lurking within.
Not only that, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was very rich, but it gave Yi Yun a very uncomfortable feeling. It was as if there was a sinister Yin Qi.
Lin Xintong said, "This is the Desolate Human Valley, a large valley in the Cloud Wilderness. This valley stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and the northern end is connected to the desolate ruins!"
The desolate ruins that Lin Xintong mentioned was the northern border of the Cloud Wilderness. Although it was said to be the border, it did not mean that the Cloud Wilderness was the end. On the contrary, the desolate ruins were much bigger and more vast than the Cloud Wilderness. However, there were all sorts of powerful primordial desolate beasts lurking within. It was completely beyond the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's control. Usually, the desolate ruins were rarely visited by humans. Even human lords did not dare to rashly enter.
Lin Xintong said, "At the borders of the Desolate Human Valley, fierce beasts appear. Can you feel the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here? Humans will feel uncomfortable when immersed in this Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. This Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is called 'Power of Desolates'. This is what desolate beasts and fierce beasts like the most. "
"Desolate Human Valley … A place where fierce beasts lurk!"
Yi Yun's eyebrows twitched. He did not expect that Lin Xintong would bring him to such a place!
The Cloud Wilderness had desolate plains and wonderlands. The desolate plains were filled with Power of Desolates, which was where desolate beasts gathered.
As for wonderlands, they were filled with spiritual energy. Humans preferred wonderlands.
Wonderlands and desolate plains were interspersed, forming the vast Cloud Wilderness.
Now, this was Yi Yun's first time stepping into a desolate beast's territory. In the past, even when he rode the near-horned beast to the Tao tribal clan, the Jin Long Wei had tried their best to avoid the desolate plains. They had chosen a neutral path that was neither desolate plains nor wonderlands.
Heaven Earth Yuan Qi … Power of Desolates …
Yi Yun muttered to himself. His spiritual energy interfaced with the Purple Crystal in his heart. As Yi Yun's heart beat, the Purple Crystal also vibrated. A small whirlpool appeared on the surface of the Purple Crystal. The Power of Desolates that entered Yi Yun's body was absorbed by the whirlpool and slowly turned into pure energy.
When this energy entered Yi Yun's body, the slight discomfort immediately disappeared.
As such, Yi Yun felt that the difference between the desolate plains and wonderlands was not that great.
"The Purple Crystal is really a treasure …" Yi Yun sighed.
Yi Yun sighed. He had a deeper understanding of the Purple Crystal. The Purple Crystal's control of energy had reached the pinnacle. It was a divine item of energy. It seemed that no energy in this world could escape the Purple Crystal's control.
"Eh, you …"
At the moment when the Power of Desolates in Yi Yun's body was absorbed by the Purple Crystal, Lin Xintong suddenly felt something. She looked at Yi Yun in surprise.
"What's the matter?" Yi Yun touched his face and was surprised. Lin Xintong's senses were really sharp. The moment he absorbed the Power of Desolates, Lin Xintong had noticed a slight change in his temperament.
Lin Xintong did not find anything on Yi Yun's body. It was as if it was an illusion. She shook her head curiously and said, "Nothing … I might be returning to my family in a few days."
"Oh?" Yi Yun was slightly stunned. Suddenly hearing that he was about to separate from Lin Xintong, he was really reluctant.
Having a beauty by his side was always a delightful thing. Furthermore, Lin Xintong could help him improve his strength by leaps and bounds.
"Didn't you say that you were waiting for your master?"
"I can't wait any longer." Lin Xintong shook her head. "My family has some matters that require me to return. Besides, my master is out for a mystic realm. The mystic realm's level is beyond my master's imagination. My master has already sent me a message saying that this exploration of the mystic realm will take more than a year, or even longer."
Hearing Lin Xintong's words, Yi Yun was stunned. Exploring a mystic realm for more than a year …
Lin Xintong noticed Yi Yun's surprise and said, "Exploring for a year isn't considered long. Some mystic realms are independent worlds. They are extremely vast, even bigger than the Cloud Wilderness! It would take a very long time to walk through all of those secret realms. Furthermore … there are some secret realms that are inscribed with profound formations. These formations might even have been created by Sages and Emperors. Even if the formations are damaged due to the passage of time, who knows how much time it would take to decipher them. "
"Because my master and Marquis Wenyun will be in the mystic realm for too long, a large portion of the Jin Long Wei will have to leave the Cloud Wilderness. Only a few will be left behind to provide support. You will probably follow the Jin Long Wei back to the Divine Kingdom's heartland. When that happens, you will have to enter the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's heartland."
Hearing Lin Xintong's words, Yi Yun took a deep breath. Tai Ah Divine Kingdom … heartland …
He was finally leaving the Cloud Wilderness and entering the vast world!
"Miss Lin, I'll be heading to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. You return to your family. Will we have the chance to meet again in the future?"
"We will." Lin Xintong smiled. "I'll be leaving soon. In the next few days, I'll try my best to give you some pointers. I'll let your strength improve further, allowing you to break through to the Purple Blood realm!"
"Purple Blood!?"
Yi Yun's eyes lit up. The Purple Blood realm was known as the beginning of martial arts. But in the vast wilderness, this realm was the dream of many warriors. By achieving Purple Blood, one would have the foundation to establish themselves in the vast wilderness. They could become the local tyrant of a small tribe.
Many people were stuck at the Purple Blood realm, one in ten thousand!
And for Yi Yun to enter the central plains and build a home in his fiefdom, it was impossible without sufficient strength.
Yi Yun had long wanted to break through to the Purple Blood realm!
After eating the green elixir, Yi Yun's body had not fully digested the medicinal essence. Yi Yun felt that he was only half a step away from the Purple Blood realm.
"Today, I brought you to the Desolate Human Valley to let you fight with fierce beasts. I'll let you experience a real battle!" Lin Xintong said as she looked at the deep valley.
Upon hearing Lin Xintong's words, Yi Yun's eyes flashed with excitement. Fight with fierce beasts!? What kind of scene would that be?
