Chapter 181

Early the next morning, when Lu Xun woke up, the time had already reached seven o'clock in the morning.

In his arms, Chu Youqing was sleeping soundly.

Because Chu Youqing had taken over Lu Xun's chest, Little White could only curl up beside Lu Xun's head to sleep.

Her fluffy self, being close, was actually quite warm.

"Meow~"

As soon as Lu Xun woke, Little White woke up.

That "meow" also woke Chu Youqing.

Waking up early and seeing Lu Xun, Chu Youqing's mood was as sweet as having eaten honey, her eyes full of joy.

At that moment, Chu Youqing didn't know what she was feeling, and her expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.

A flush quietly rose to her cheeks.

This couldn't be blamed on Lu Xun.

For a young man like him, if he doesn't stand tall upon waking, he's either useless or sick.

"Lu Xun, good morning."

Chu Youqing used 'good morning' as a cover, sitting up from Lu Xun's arms and stretching lazily.

"Morning."

Lu Xun also sat up.

"Lu Xun..."

She suddenly flung herself back into Lu Xun's embrace, her pretty face burning hot.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Chu Youqing's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Eh?"

"This question..."

Lu Xun didn't know how to answer her.

"The teacher said before the Six Realms, I should keep my purity; wait for me... wait until I reach the Six Realms... I will definitely help you..."

Before Chu Youqing could finish her sentence, she couldn't go on.

Heavens, pity her,

She was still a pure schoolgirl who knew nothing.

Now she only wanted to help her boyfriend relieve his physical needs.

After all, she had learned some of this knowledge since childhood.

She knew men have some normal needs.

Lu Xun's reaction that morning happened to touch on the knowledge she had learned.

That's why Chu Youqing suddenly had this conversation.

Such a Chu Youqing truly made Lu Xun find her adorable.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Chu Youqing was dissatisfied, because Lu Xun was laughing.

"Nothing, Youqing, it's fine; this is just a man's normal morning reaction."

Lu Xun said.

"Ah?"

Chu Youqing lifted her head: 'Then are you uncomfortable?'

After asking, she felt it was improper, and her face grew even redder.

"Of course I'm uncomfortable; actually, if you want to help me, besides doing that, there are other ways."

Lu Xun suddenly wanted to tease her.

"What ways?"

Chu Youqing had an eager-to-learn expression.

Lu Xun leaned to her ear and began to speak.

"Oh dear, you're terrible..."

After just a couple of sentences, Chu Youqing bashfully started pounding Lu Xun.

"The Rainbow Bridge is open!"

After a round of frolicking, suddenly cheers rang out across the Beidou University campus.

The Rainbow Bridge was opened to cultivators below the Six Realms.

At Beidou University, there were still quite a few students with passes.

They had long awaited this day, and finally it arrived.

"So many people."

The sky over the capital became unusually lively.

A large number of flying vessels shot up into the sky, heading for space.

Beidou University also had dedicated flying vessels to transport students to the heavens.

"Brother Xun, go for it!"

Li Buffan ran over to see Lu Xun off.

Lu Xun was going to the Rainbow Bridge.

In the morning, he used the Heavenly Dao Eye again, but still couldn't locate the underground worms.

These bugs hid too tightly, and with an eighth‑level expert returning to clear the wormholes, Lu Xun decided to go to the Rainbow Bridge first.

Lan Xing still spends a long time at the ancient road node; as long as nothing unexpected happens, staying several months or even over a year is possible.

"Let's go, Chu Youqing."

"Hmm!"

Lu Xun and Chu Youqing stepped onto the flying boat together.

This time, Lu Xun intends to bring Chu Youqing along.

As for Murong Wan, since she went back to Rong Cheng to look for Murong Zhan, they can only act separately for now.

Murong Zhan's strength is not bad, and Lu Xun also gave Murong Wan many trump cards; as long as they are careful, there should be no major problem.

Given Murong Zhan's experience, he certainly won't go to those dangerous places.

After loading hundreds of students, the flying boat shot straight up into space.

"Wow, what a huge fortress."

Chu Youqing is obviously visiting space for the first time, and she was startled by the passing space fortress.

These space fortresses are indeed massive giants.

After passing these fortresses, the flying boat continued upward.

"Wow!"

"Is this the Mysterious Mechanism City?"

"It's huge; I don't know if we'll ever get residency rights in the Mysterious Mechanism City in our lifetime."

Not long after, the students on the flying boat burst into exclamations.

Because an extremely huge city appeared ahead.

This city is like a ring, with an outer diameter over 100 kilometers and an inner diameter about 80‑90 kilometers.

That means the city's width is over ten kilometers.

At the center of the ring, a huge sphere is connected.

This is the Mysterious Mechanism Heavenly Ring that Lu Xun previously saw with the Heavenly Dao Eye.

That is also the Mysterious Mechanism City.

Besides the Mysterious Mechanism City, one can also see a giant ship not much smaller than the Mysterious Mechanism Heavenly Ring—the Western Noah's Ark.

And there are many somewhat smaller giant flying vehicles.

For example, several flying craft shaped like temples—the Western Hall of Gods and Hall of Heroes, etc.

There are also ship‑shaped ones, such as the White Elephant Brahma and the Fusang Yamato.

These were built by various nations for escape after failing to ascend.

From their size, one can gauge the strength of a nation's power.

The Eastern Mysterious Mechanism City is obviously the largest and most magnificent.

Numerous giant flying vehicles surround the Rainbow Bridge, together with a large fleet, blocking the invading insectoid swarm outside.

Perhaps because an eighth‑level expert has returned, the battle intensity has clearly weakened; these insectoid ships never got a chance to approach the Rainbow Bridge and were wiped out.

After ten or so minutes, the flying boat landed steadily on a huge platform.

The platform was full of Huaxia people.

Densely packed, with great numbers.

This platform exactly corresponds to the two rainbow paths of the Rainbow Bridge.

Indeed, this seven‑colored Rainbow Bridge has two paths exclusively occupied by the East.

"Junior, want to team up?"

After disembarking the flying boat, Cheng Gang came over with several students.

He wanted to team up with Lu Xun.

Not only Cheng Gang, but Jin Yuhua and students from Magic Capital University also came over.

There was also a senior student named Kong Chan.

Kong Chan is also at the fourth level, though she advanced after the secret realm examination.

She also wanted to team up with Lu Xun.

Lu Xun is now red‑hot.

Especially after the news spread that he had killed a fifth‑level expert.

Who wouldn't want to cling to such a thigh?

"Thank you, seniors, for your kindness, but I'd like to act alone for a while first."

Lu Xun politely declined.

"All right, if you need anything, just look for me."

After being turned down, the several seniors weren't angry.

"Junior, you've pulled off such a big deal in just a short time; I, the senior, feel inadequate."

Jin Yuhua sighed with feeling.

Wang Ping and the others likewise felt deeply moved.

"Grandfather, Lu Xun is over there; let's see later which spirit realm he enters..."

"Foolish, Huan'er, even if I also wish to tear Lu Xun limb from limb, remember that the most important thing this time is to seek heavenly‑earthly spiritual items and various opportunities, not to waste time dealing with Lu Xun."

On the other side, He Huan saw Lu Xun and his eyes filled with hatred.

He had finally been rescued, his cultivation barely preserved, but the damaged foundation could not be restored.

He wanted to persuade He Zhen to follow Lu Xun.

He Zhen, however, directly refused.

He Zhen, as the strongest of the He family, is actually not far from the Six Realms, but this short distance is extremely hard to cross.

He likewise wished to kill Lu Xun.

But he could distinguish priorities.

At the ancient road node, the most important thing is to seek opportunity, not waste time on killing.

If one could find enough heaven-defying heavenly-earthly spiritual objects, it might be possible to let He Huan return to normal.

Even, let him break through the Six Realms.

On the Starry Sky Ancient Road, anything is possible!

Of course, if one happens to encounter it, dealing with it casually is also not impossible.

Lu Xun killing the Shadow Clan's Five Realm is something he naturally knows.

He Zhen was not frightened.

Five Realm and Five Realm are not the same.

The gap between early Five Realm and late Five Realm is huge; several early Five Realm cannot defeat a late Five Realm.

And he, is a late Five Realm.

"Eh, where is Dad?"

Chu Youqing didn't see her father.

There are too many people.

With so many people, she dared not rashly use her divine sense to probe.

Not only did she not see her father, Chu Youqing also didn't see Murong Wan.

"Everyone, you can now enter the Rainbow Bridge; the first 100 Spirit Realms have been explored. You can scan the QR code in the sky with your phone, or input your will and divine sense into the nearby light sphere, and you'll be able to see the introductions of these Spirit Realms; which one you actually enter is up to you."

A cultivator flew up high and spoke loudly.

Above the platform, a QR code and a light sphere appeared simultaneously.

Lu Xun's divine sense moved out, entering that light sphere.

A large amount of information was thus obtained by him.

On the platform, it fell silent; all cultivators were reading the information of these Spirit Realms.

A few minutes later, a cultivator took the lead, holding a pass and stepping into the Rainbow Bridge.

Immediately after, other cultivators sprang into action.

Streams of flowing light poured into the Rainbow Bridge.

Some cultivators brought their families, or several families acted together; these generally enter the Rainbow Bridge by riding flying ships or similar tools.

Those who cannot afford a flying ship simply step directly into the Rainbow Bridge from the platform's edge.

The Rainbow Bridge is not only long, but also very wide; each rainbow lane is several kilometers wide.

"Eh, I saw my aunt and grandfather."

At this moment, Chu Youqing finally saw Murong Wan and Murong Zhan.

"Come on, let's follow."

Lu Xun also saw it, preparing to follow.

He is going onto the Rainbow Bridge for the first time, still lacking experience.

Murong Zhan is an old hand; better to follow them and see which Spirit Realm they're heading to.

He stepped onto his flying sword, taking Chu Youqing and rushed into the Rainbow Bridge.

This Rainbow Bridge, without a pass, even if one flies into its area, cannot pass through to reach the Spirit Realms at the ancient road node.

Without a pass, it is merely a real rainbow.

Murong Zhan and Murong Wan are on a flying ship; besides them, there are several other people.

"Why is grandfather with them?"

Chu Youqing, seeing this from afar, furrowed her brows.

Because the flying ship has Murong Tian and his father.

Murong Tian's father is Murong Zhan's younger brother, with only late Three Realm strength, unable to break into Four Realm.

"Who are the other two people?"

"They are from my great-aunt's family."

"Great-aunt?"

"Well, grandfather has three daughters in total; my mother is the second."

It's not obvious, but Murong Zhan is quite prolific.

He has fathered three daughters, and apparently also several sons.

However, his descendants, aside from Murong Wan, are not impressive.

Murong Yan has also reached Three Realm, but she is over forty, far inferior to Murong Wan.

"They have entered the Spirit Realm."

At this point, after flying several tens of kilometers, a dark hole appeared ahead of Murong Zhan's flying ship.

The flying ship dove straight into the hole and quickly disappeared.

"Number 18 Spirit Realm... this is the Lightning Spirit Realm... there is a planet... the environment is relatively good..."

Lu Xun memorized the position; after flying past, he saw on a floating stone tablet the location of the Spirit Realm that this section of the Rainbow Bridge leads to.

Number 18 Spirit Realm.

Named the Storm Spirit Realm, this Spirit Realm contains a planet; although it has many heavenly-earthly spiritual objects, it does not belong to a heavenly-path Spirit Star.

Murong Zhan's experience is indeed seasoned; operating on a planet, it is clearly much better than in some nonexistent planets, the fragmented Spirit Realm.

Here will do.

Lu Xun activated the pass.

With the activation of the pass, a dark hole similarly appeared ahead of him and Chu Youqing.

Go!

He pulled Chu Youqing into it.

The hole was extremely long.

It twisted and turned, surrounded by darkness.

Lu Xun and Chu Youqing quickly passed through it.

After a few minutes, finally, the hole ended.

The two emerged.

How heavy.

Just after exiting, Chu Youqing felt her body grow heavy.

The planet's gravity far exceeds that of Lan Xing, about three times that of Lan Xing.

Ordinary people coming here find even walking strenuous.

For Lu Xun, it's nothing.

Martial cultivators train year‑long in gravity chambers; three times gravity is nothing.

Chu Youqing can also withstand it.

Lu Xun then observed the surroundings.

Dark.

This was his first impression.

Thick thunderclouds piled in the sky, constantly rumbling.

The thunderclouds spread across the sky, covering it completely, so no sunlight could be seen.

As for the planet's light, it comes from the lightning flashing within the thunderclouds.

In the distance, lightning bolts could be seen falling from time to time.

Boom—

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot straight at the two.

Careful.

Lu Xun threw a punch, shattering the lightning.

Not bad power.

This lightning's power is not small; if a Second Realm cultivator came here, even a Lightning Cultivator could not withstand it head‑on.

The name Lightning Spirit Realm is quite fitting.

Where did my young aunt and the others go?

Chu Youqing was searching for Murong Wan.

After exiting the Rainbow Bridge, the position is random.

As for returning, a passage appears every ten days.

On the fifth day, the pass will indicate the passage's location; arriving there in advance will do.

Murong Wan does not know where she is.

After failing to find her, Chu Youqing gave up.

"There's not even vegetation on the ground, the air is full of impurities—could there be any earthly treasures here?"

Immediately, Chu Youqing became curious.

Surely there is.

Lu Xun was quite certain.

Chu Youqing began searching all around.

Lu Xun then silently activated the Heavenly Dao Eye.

He wanted to test whether the Heavenly Dao Eye could be used in the Spirit Realm.

As soon as the Heavenly Dao Eye activated, Lu Xun's field of view changed instantly.

This change is not as great as on Lan Xing—for example, one can directly see the whole of Lan Xing there.

But it can also observe a considerable area around.

It actually works!

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel delighted.

Heavenly Dao Eye, usable in the Spirit Realm!

Although using it here is not as powerful as on Lan Xing, it's still quite good.

This can let Lu Xun avoid many wrong turns when searching for things, making him unfailingly accurate.

This is just great.

Now Lu Xun has truly gotten a cheat.
