During the journey, Lou Xiaoyi began to control the Big Dipper and Hidden Fragrance at the same time. Because he had already experienced it once, his progress was much faster than when he was controlling the Four Seasons! However, it was still not enough for him to successfully control the swords before reaching the upper realm of Zhou Xian.
Seven years after entering the spatial crack, they met the first batch of spatial crack traversers. Both parties avoided each other and passed by each other.
Yu Hu took a deep breath. "We're almost there! This should be the outer spatial crack near the upper realm of Zhou Xian. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cultivators. They're not actually going anywhere. They're just going from one continent of Zhou Xian to another. "
Yu Hu took more than ten years to come here, but they only took seven years to return. This was understandable. After all, in terms of difficulty, it was not the same thing. Finding the path to the Azure Sky required constant trial and error. It was not like the upper realm of Zhou Xian where the goal was clear. Moreover, there was a major cultivator to guide them. This made it so that they did not take any detours!
Lou Xiaoyi had also tried to use the positioning of the stars in the past few years. Even in the spatial crack, his positioning of the stars in the main and reverse worlds was still accurate. However, the problem was that the spatial crack was constantly changing. There would be a small change every year, and a big change every ten years. After a hundred years, it would be a completely unfamiliar spatial crack system. There was no value in positioning it. He was also very clear that if he wanted to return to the Azure Sky one day, then passing through the spatial crack was actually the most unreliable method!
He had already kept the sword case many years ago. Now, he only had the Four Seasons Sword Plate with him. He had to remind himself not to carry the sword case out when he was in the upper realm of Zhou Xian!
The frequency of encountering the cultivators of the upper realm of Zhou Xian began to increase. This also meant that they were preparing to face the final challenge!
After they left, what would be waiting for them? Would they be ignored? Or would they be scrutinized by a True Lord? Or would they be received by their original sect? This could be the worst case scenario!
Yu Hu comforted them. "Out of all the situations, the one that is least likely to be received by your original sect. When you come to do something, you definitely won't leave any details to the side branches. This is also a way to maintain a sense of mystery.
I'm guessing that a Yuanying level Perfected Person will come and ask about the accident that happened at the exit of the crevice. Then, they'll probably dismiss us. Of course, they might also ask us to join one of the nine divine mountains … "
Qing Xuan was surprised, "What do you mean?"
Yu Gu sneered. "This is also one of the ways that the nine great divine mountains use to take advantage of others. After they send their disciples to participate in a mission, if they're satisfied with the mission, or if the mission is very sensitive, they'll directly make a request to the disciple under them, requesting that the disciple be accepted into the sect! The elites that others have painstakingly raised for hundreds of years have become theirs! "
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless. "Isn't this too unreasonable? Is there no one who raised a different opinion? In the Fifth Ring, even the domineering Three Pure Ones wouldn't dare to do this! "
Qing Xuan retorted, "The Three Pure Ones aren't the most domineering in the Fifth Ring! Before a Swordsman draws his sword, the Swordsman belongs to the universe. After a Swordsman draws his sword, the universe belongs to the Swordsman! "
Yu Hu was already used to their mutual attacks. "It's very domineering, but if you consider that there are three thousand sheep to be slaughtered, and that each side branch might not even have a turn in a hundred years, it's still within an acceptable range! Therefore, no one said anything! There's no comparison in terms of strength, the difference is like heaven and earth!
Most importantly, the despicable things that the nine great upper sects do will not be known by others, and it will become an eternal secret! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "Only the dead are the best secret keepers! But to us, it seems like it's safer? Because this means that we can openly not come into contact with our original sect! "
Qing Xuan attacked him. "The prerequisite is that you have to be noticed by others first! I'm very doubtful of what you can do with just that sword plate. "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "The single-headed sword is even more vicious! You don't understand! "
Yu Hu scrutinized the two of them again and reminded them, "The Zhou Xian people's habits of speech, doing things, living habits, dressing habits, some special regional taboos, and some of the most famous stories and legends, I've already told you all that I can remember in these few years, but this is definitely not everything!
Whether you're from Zhou Xian or not, you can tell in less than ten sentences! This will require you to live and cultivate in the upper realm of Zhou Xian for a period of time before you can fully adapt, so my advice is to pretend to be deep and mute! Remind yourself every three sentences that you can't say anymore! "
Lou Xiaoyi looked at him and said earnestly, "Brother Yu, you seem to be more nervous than us? There's no need for that! The best way to deal with this kind of situation is to relax! Don't think about how to deal with it, sooner or later there'll be trouble! Relax, we're all people with fate! "
It was rare for Qing Xuan to speak as well. He was not worried about himself, nor was he worried about the Swordsman. That fellow was more resilient than anyone else, but this native of the upper realm of Zhou Xian might not have the mentality to lie low.
"Brother Yu Hu, you must remember, no matter what happens, don't try to help the two of us! We have our own ways, if you help us, it'll definitely be a bad thing in the eyes of others!
The three of us are three people with different intentions! Everything is for ourselves, don't take care of others! The more we're like ourselves and not like a team, the higher our chances of survival! "
They finally saw the exit. They had experienced the exit of the Space Crack countless times, but in these seven years, they had never dared to step out, because it was very likely that there would be magnificent and complicated cosmic phenomena outside. If they went out, their survival time would be measured in breaths!
But now, in this place, the exit only meant that it was the upper realm of Zhou Xian. The three of them subconsciously sped up, this was the inevitable reaction of every wanderer returning home. If they still gathered together to discuss countermeasures, it would be truly abnormal.
However, a loud and firm voice stopped them!
"Go to the crack on the left!"
This voice, without a doubt, was the voice of a powerful cultivator. They could not guess the realm, nor could they determine where the voice came from. The three of them were very smart, they pretended to look around to see if the voice was speaking to anyone else.
However, there was no one around, Lou Xiaoyi spoke without hesitation. Yu Hu, who was behind them, was shocked. These two people were really bold, as if they were genuine cultivators who had returned!
"Senior, are you giving us instructions? We're not cultivators who teleport, we're returning from a faraway foreign realm. We've been flying in the crack for almost twenty years, we … "
"That's right, I'm talking about you guys! The three of you have failed your mission, but it's rare that you came out unscathed. I don't want to know what happened, but the three of you must accept your punishment. Go to the crack on the left, go straight, walk out! "
