Chapter 344: The Couple Goes to the Magical Beast Mountain Range!
"Is this your true self, my husband?"
Feeling the real warmth on her cheek, Yun Yun raised her hand, tightly gripping that warm hand.
"No, this is just one of my projections. My true self was originally heading to the Yunlan Sect, but since I knew you were here, I naturally came here first," Gu He shook his head and replied.
"Xiao Jin, stop looking and let’s go!"
Seeing Yun Yun and Gu He leaning close to each other, Liu Ling, being considerate, pulled Xiao Jin and flew towards the house below.
…
As Gu He and Yun Yun talked, half an hour passed quickly.
"Yun’er, my true self will arrive soon. Wait for me!"
As soon as Gu He’s projection said this, it suddenly dissipated without warning.
At this time, Gu He, deep in the desert, had already stored away the Black Scaled Frigid Python and was swiftly traversing through the void.
A few hours later, Gu He’s true self arrived in Stone Desert City.
…
"Liu Ling, it seems you’ve completed the additional task I gave you. Very good!"
In a small courtyard, noticing that Liu Ling had already broken through to the Dou King realm and successfully refined the Green Lotus Core Flame, Gu He’s face was full of joy.
"Hehe, it’s all thanks to your excellent teachings, Master!" Liu Ling scratched the back of his head modestly.
"My husband, you certainly have a way of teaching disciples. Liu Ling, at such a young age, has already broken through to Dou King... I wonder how Xian’er and Yanran are doing. They should have also reached Dou Ling by now, right?" Hearing their conversation, Yun Yun smiled and joined in.
"Yanran hasn't used the Void Jade Talisman yet, so I'm not too sure about her situation. However, with the Red Dragon secretly protecting her, she shouldn't encounter any danger!"
"As for Xian’er, she summoned me once by crushing the Void Jade Talisman. I found out then that she had already broken through to Dou King. Moreover, I estimate that if she can fully absorb what’s inside the relic, breaking through to Dou Emperor shouldn't be out of the question..."
When Yun Yun heard this, she was both surprised and impressed.
Although Liu Ling had long been accustomed to being surpassed by Xian’er, he didn’t feel too disheartened upon learning of her cultivation level.
"Xian’er’s talent is truly terrifying!" Yun Yun exclaimed in surprise.
Currently, her own cultivation was only at the Dou Emperor level. At this rate, Xian’er’s cultivation might soon surpass hers.
Even though she was surprised by Xian’er’s rapid progress, Yun Yun had no other thoughts. She was simply amazed and genuinely happy that Gu He had such a talented disciple.
…
"Liu Ling, your master and I will go back first. Since you've completed your task, try to return before the Alchemist Grand Meeting!"
After chatting for a while, Gu He instructed Liu Ling and then, holding Yun Yun’s hand, stepped into a space rift.
"Don't worry, Master! I'll definitely be at the Alchemist Grand Meeting in a month!" Liu Ling shouted as he watched Gu He’s figure disappear into the space rift.
…
After leaving Stone Desert City, Gu He and Yun Yun did not return directly to the sect but instead turned towards the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
"My husband, the Demon Beast Mountain Range is a place filled with constant fighting. If Yanran stays there too long, I’m afraid her temperament might change because of it!" Yun Yun, held in Gu He's arms as they flew high in the sky, expressed her concern.
"Indeed, if someone is surrounded by killing all day, it can certainly change their personality. But I believe that Yanran will find a way to adjust to such a situation," Gu He reassured her after hearing her worries.
After he spoke, Gu He suddenly sensed a rather powerful soul force that felt strikingly similar to Venerable Tianhuo residing in his ring. Upon detecting this soul force, Gu He slightly slowed his speed.
Upon closer investigation, a look of realization crossed his face, and he softly sighed, "So it's him!"
"My husband, what’s wrong? Did you discover something?" Yun Yun quickly began scanning the area below after noticing Gu He's reaction.
"It's him!"
At that moment, the two of them sensed that a young man in black, who had been running swiftly across the desert below, suddenly halted in place.
"My husband, this person's talent is decent, isn't it? At such a young age, he has already reached the Dou King realm!" Yun Yun remarked softly.
"Yun'er, this young man is the one who was once engaged to Yanran, the Xiao family's boy!" Gu He said calmly.
"What? How could the Xiao family boy have broken through to Dou King? Wasn't there a rumor that he could no longer cultivate?" Yun Yun was surprised to hear Gu He identify the young man below.
A hint of worry also appeared on her face.
"Don't worry, that power isn't his own! His true cultivation level is definitely not on par with Yanran's," Gu He explained.
"I see!" Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Gu He’s explanation.
This was also the first time Gu He had seen the young man who, like him, was also a transmigrator. However, his heart was untroubled. At this point, Gu He regarded Xiao Yan as nothing more than a junior, a far cry from the feelings he once had.
…
"Strange, why did my teacher suddenly cut off all contact with me?"
At that moment, Xiao Yan, dressed in black, was frowning as he tried to communicate with Yao Lao inside the ring.
No matter how hard he tried, the ring remained silent.
"Xiao Yan, just now, a truly terrifying presence passed by. If your teacher hadn't cut off contact, he would have been immediately discovered."
Only after Gu He and Yun Yun had traveled far away did Yao Lao’s voice, filled with trepidation, echo in Xiao Yan’s mind.
"So that’s what happened!"
Hearing Yao Lao’s explanation, Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief, saying, "I thought you had suddenly fallen into a deep sleep, teacher."
"What was the cultivation level of that powerful person you sensed earlier?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"That person just now had a cultivation level of at least Dou Venerate!" Yao Lao replied thoughtfully.
"Dou Venerate!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sharply drew in a breath of cold air.
Yao Lao had previously told him that a Dou Venerate was a mighty existence far above a Dou Ancestor.
"Since when does the Jia Ma Empire have a Dou Venerate?"
It was already strange enough that a demon beast with Dou Ancestor strength had appeared in Stone Desert City, but now another Dou Venerate had suddenly popped up, leaving Xiao Yan bewildered.
"Not long ago, I detected the presence of the Green Lotus Core Flame. It seems that the Green Lotus Core Flame was likely taken by that person!"
