IS Chapter 89

Ye Zhuo opened his eyes. The inheritance pearl in his hand emitted a faint glow, but its body remained firm and clear, without any change, blatantly declaring its disapproval of him.

In the other direction, there was no white light like that of the Du Mountain Formation.

He couldn’t open the “Scene” Gate. Did the light from the Du Mountain Formation mean that the “Du” Gate had already been opened by him?

Ye Zhuo had no intention of exploring this further.

He came here to fight, while Wei Sheng Xian came for the sake of the human realm. If the formation gate was opened, it would naturally be exactly what Wei Sheng Xian wanted; if it wasn’t, then the Palace Master could think of another way.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhuo mentally reviewed the appearances of the predecessors who cultivated the Dao of the Realm seen in the inheritance pearl.

They knew about this formation before coming to Upper Purity Mountain, does that mean that at least one of them has an inheritance in the Upper Purity Main Sect? Not surprising. The Dao of the Realm is so profound, and since they cannot ascend, there can’t be more than ten people in the entire immortal Dao who can cultivate this path. If there is an inheritance, it must have been left by those people.

“Done looking?” Li Yuan asked.

The dragon had somehow quietly returned to his human form, standing beside him with both form and spirit.

“It should be given to Wei Sheng Xian,” Ye Zhuo said.

“At least it didn’t fall into Yin Ye’s hands. If we snatch it, Wei Sheng Xian will naturally get his share,” Li Yuan said.

Ye Zhuo glanced at him: “Wasn’t someone just regretting ‘being stained by ink’?”

Li Yuan wouldn’t be stumped by his question.

“When weighing the lesser of two evils, one must naturally choose the lesser,” Li Yuan said. “Speaking of which, what did you see this time?”

“The predecessors once left behind a great formation that can separate the two realms,” Ye Zhuo said. “Tai Su also said before that Upper Purity Mountain brought everyone here to explore the great formation left by the predecessors in order to resist the ghost realm. You should have heard of it.”

“I have heard of it. But since they knew about this long ago, why didn’t they tell the various sects plainly, but instead only revealed it slightly after you forced them to ask? I wonder what they are really up to.”

“However, it’s good that you know it in your own heart.” Saying this, Li Yuan looked at him, his eyes gentle and smiling, looking very polite.

“—If what you saw involves the intersection of realms and concerns the survival of the human realm, I shouldn’t ask. I’ve already forgotten what I just said.”

Ye Zhuo found it quite novel and sized him up.

“So upright and noble, you really are a gentleman.”

“Haven’t I always been like this?” Li Yuan said, “If you haven’t seen it yourself, don’t talk.”

Don’t bend down in a melon field, don’t reach out under a plum tree, who doesn’t understand this principle?

When realms clash, there will be bloody storms. Strictly speaking, the dragon realm is strong and the human realm is weak. In any case, he will avoid suspicion.

As for where the human realm predecessors’ formation to protect this realm is located, how to open it, and what the key is, Ye Zhuo would naturally not reveal it, and it would be best if he also didn’t actively try to find out.

To find such a common thing novel, Li Yuan really doubted his image in Ye Zhuo’s heart.

He immediately bit him.

It was clear that the gentlemanly demeanor on this dragon was just flickering on and off. Ye Zhuo pushed him away from his neck: “How long has it been?”

“Not long, just a day or two,” Li Yuan replied. “But I think we should leave.”

“When you were comprehending, there was always a divine sense sweeping across this mountain range, presumably the so-called ‘Dao-Protecting True Men’ from the Upper Purity Main Sect are looking for us. I’ve been blocking it, but the divine sense is getting stronger and stronger. It won’t be long before we’re discovered.”

“How many people?”

“Two. Their divine senses are sweeping back and forth, and they’ve already looked through the entire illusory realm several times.”

The divine sense can sweep through the entire illusory realm, and even Li Yuan said it was “powerful”. It seemed extraordinary. Only the Dao-Protecting True Men could do this.

To open the Suspended Pouring Great Formation, at least five of the eight gates must be opened. Now the Du Gate is likely already open, and the inheritance pearl for opening the Scene Gate is in his hands. If they don’t catch them, the Main Sect won’t give up.

Why didn’t they come to help when Tai Qing was about to die?

“They only came now. I don’t know what kind of shady business they were up to before,” Ye Zhuo said. “I’ll think about where to go next.”

He really wanted to learn from the two True Men, sweeping through the illusory realm with his divine sense to see where Wei Sheng Xian was now.

Unfortunately, his current cultivation level couldn’t support such a thing.

While thinking, another divine sense swept over, indeed powerful, more than ten times stronger than the immortal Dao of the Dao Sect. If these two Dao-Protecting True Men attacked together, he might not be able to beat them.

Now that everything was ready, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to reach the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Although it was only an improvement of a small realm, it could barely be considered not a dead end.

It had been many days since they last competed. Ye Zhuo didn’t know much about Li Yuan’s cultivation progress.

He asked Li Yuan, “How are you now?”

Li Yuan replied unhappily, “Breaking through.”

Ye Zhuo ate the inheritance pearl, so of course he had to eat some foreign objects from the storage ring.

But if this person was breaking through on his own, then he wouldn’t eat anything and would break through by himself.

The Main Sect couldn’t find them, and the divine senses became more and more dense and powerful. They would soon be discovered. With the last bit of time, Ye Zhuo and Li Yuan leaned against the withered tree on either side, each breaking through, no longer paying attention to the other.

Footsteps suddenly came from the silent mountain. Listening again, it was two people walking from afar, their pace neither fast nor slow, sounding like one big and one small.

Along with them came voices.

“Master, I’m about to transcend the tribulation, do you believe it?”

The voice was very familiar.

People meet everywhere in life, the person who came was none other than the Little Daoist of the Shenxin Pavilion.

He called “Master,” it seemed that before the Sect Master Lin left, he had successfully handed him back to his master.

Then a clear, cold voice like a spring flowing over stones answered Shen Xin Ge: “I believe you, your teacher is very happy.”

Li Yuan turned out from behind the tree and looked towards where the voice came from. He saw the elegant Hongmeng Sect Master Shen Jingzhen leading Shen Xin Ge, walking slowly.

Ye Zhuo also slowly opened his eyes.

“Master, then when I reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and you are also in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, can I call you ‘Dao Friend’?”

“As you wish. As long as you can reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm.”

“Master, Sect Master Lin is not as gentle as you said at all. He was very fierce when he silenced people.”

“Nonsense.”

“Master, when I grow up, I want to be a sword cultivator.”

“You are?”

After these cold and ruthless words were spoken, Shen Jingzhen suddenly stopped. As if aware of something, he looked towards a rather unremarkable withered tree.

Seeing the two tall and jade-like people standing quietly under the withered tree and looking at him, the corner of Shen Jingzhen’s eye twitched.

He always felt that it wasn’t a good thing.

Moreover, the Upper Purity Main Sect’s divine sense search was so frequent along the way. Something must have gone wrong when he wasn’t around.

At this moment, Shen Jingzhen keenly felt that the aura around the two people under the withered tree was rising and falling.

It was like a flower blooming and withering, withering and blooming again, or like the tide rising and falling in the vast sea, with waves coming and going. Finally, the dust settled, and all the changes converged into their bodies.

Their cultivation had risen another level.

These two people were calmly… breaking through in front of him and his disciple?

Shen Xin Ge was instantly overjoyed: “Dao Friend Ye! Why are you here!”

If his master hadn’t grabbed him, he looked like he was about to run over and pounce into Ye Zhuo’s arms.

Li Yuan scrutinized the Sect Master Shen Jingzhen, who had been holding Shen Xin Ge’s right hand all the way.

No wonder the child liked to hold people so much, the upper beam was not straight.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly turned cold, and a divine sense suddenly locked onto him and Ye Zhuo. In an instant, the second one arrived.

The movement of breaking through would surely be detected.

In an instant, the sky seemed to sink a little, and the killing intent surged. In a moment, the True Men of the Main Sect would surely arrive!

“Go!” Ye Zhuo said decisively.

With a clear whistle, the body of the ink dragon instantly appeared, wrapping Ye Zhuo onto himself.

This scene made Shen Xin Ge suddenly widen his eyes—before he could be surprised, he was suddenly grabbed by the ink dragon and hung in the air!

“Grab them together,” Ye Zhuo said.

Li Yuan: “You don’t have to tell me.”

A powerful energy erupted at the place where they had just been, meteors fell to the ground, the withered tree was gone, and the mountains trembled and cracked.

—Li Yuan had already grabbed Shen Xin Ge and his master and flew into the sky.

The killing intent surged again after the first strike failed.

Li Yuan: “Where to fly?”

Ye Zhuo overlooked the illusory realm from the dragon’s back, a cold, unkind smile on his face.

“Fly in a circle,” he said. “Wherever they least want you to fly, charge over there and see what kind of shady business they’re up to.”

The ink dragon’s eyes flashed, his pupils narrowed into a line, and the wind and clouds around him surged, ready to go.

Such a suggestion was truly wonderful. This Ye Zhuo was really a fun person.

Being with this person, there were indeed many fun things to do.

Hovering in the air for a moment, he chose a direction that pleased him. The ink dragon’s body instantly stretched out, and in the night, with the force of wind and thunder, it suddenly rushed out.

Shen Jingzhen only felt cold.
