Chapter 204: Lingyun Descending from the Heavens

~7 min read 1,398 words

As days passed, Chen Jing had already used the Qingshen Tea given to her by Lingyun to obtain many good things from the hands of the Heaven Tier Peak experts in the Dragon Group. However, more important than these good things was the network of relationships woven during the trading process. Those elders who obtained Qingshen Tea and hoped to glimpse a higher realm also promised that if the Ji Family made a move against Lingyun again, they would certainly step in to stop them.

For a Martial Artist, climbing to the higher peaks of martial arts is the dream of every one of them. They had all been stuck at the Heaven Tier Peak for a long time, and it was nearly impossible for them to advance to the Innate realm. Yet, they did not choose to become a Venerable to enjoy their twilight years like others; instead, they chose to join the more dangerous Dragon Group, all to seek the power to comprehend the Innate realm while on the edge of life and death, and to step into the Innate realm.

Now that Lingyun held the spiritual tea that could provide them with a breakthrough opportunity, it was undoubtedly a great joy for them. Under these circumstances, if Ji Moyuan and the Ji Family dared to make a move against him, they would absolutely be intercepted by the joint efforts of those experts. After all, cutting off someone's martial path is no different from murder for money. The Ji Family might not fear one or two, but with so many people added together, even the entire Ji Family would have to avoid their sharp edge.

After receiving this news, Ji Moyuan was so angry he gritted his teeth. Losing an Earth Tier Shadow Guard had already pained him enough, and now his father had ordered him not to make a move against Lingyun.

Of course, Ji Moyuan also coveted the Qingshen Tea in Lingyun's hands; after all, there were many Heaven Tier Peak individuals in his family, and if they had the help of Qingshen Tea, the Ji Family's strength could definitely advance further. But given his current relationship with Lingyun, he could only watch and stare, as no one would take their own resources to fund their enemy.

With the spreading of the news by those with ulterior motives, the word that Lingyun possessed a treasure like Qingshen Tea, which could allow people to break through to the Innate realm, also circulated within the small circles of Beijing. In Beijing, most people were relatively law-abiding; they did not directly resort to robbery, but instead used other things to exchange for a little bit of Qingshen Tea from Chen Jing.

However, where there are law-abiding people, there are naturally those who want to gain without working. Some people with crooked intentions turned their gaze toward Lingyun. These Qingshen Teas all flowed from Lingyun; if they controlled Lingyun, wouldn't they have as much Qingshen Tea as they wanted? But Lingyun was no longer in this world, and even if they turned the whole world upside down, they wouldn't find a trace of Lingyun.

In the Cloud Realm, Lingyun asked Ruoxi beside him: "Ruoxi, have you found the entry point for that world yet?"

"It has already been resolved. But Brother, because that world is still relatively fragile for the time being, I can only send you alone for now," Ruoxi said.

"That is fine. Right now, the training of Ye Xi and the others has entered a very important period, so let them train well. Moreover, because the situation in that world is not particularly clear and we don't know the information about that world, it is just right for me to go over and test the waters first. Once I am settled in that world, I will summon Ye Xi and the others," Lingyun nodded slightly.

"This is the Space-Time Coordinate, Brother, you can set off!" Ruoxi handed a colorful ball of light to Lingyun.

Lingyun took the ball of light from Ruoxi's hand and instantly disappeared into the Void.

"Sister, can that so-called Fate Child you mentioned, who protects that world, really save this world?" Ruoxi suddenly asked while looking to her side.

A woman in white appeared from the Void: "Of course not. If simply protecting a so-called Fate Child could protect that world, that would be too naive. If the world just needed to protect the Fate Child, why would Brother need to go there!"

"Then why did you let Brother go?" Ruoxi could not help but pout.

"Our brother is no ordinary person. Although that world is about to fall into collapse, as long as Brother is there, all chaos will naturally subside slowly. This is his unique ability, an ability no one else can reach," the woman said with a smile, stroking Ruoxi's head. "In other words, among all the people who could save that world, Brother is absolutely the one who can do the best job!"

Lingyun did not know what happened in the Cloud Realm after he left; right now, he was in the sky, falling downward in a free-fall!

Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Lingyun could not help but frown: "Falling from such a height, even though I have reached the Heaven Tier Peak, I would not escape death!"

Just as Lingyun was considering how to reduce his falling speed, a strange screeching sound came. A trace of doubt flashed in Lingyun's heart, and he turned his head to look; a giant bird was flying in his direction.

This bird was extremely ugly, its large mouth full of sharp teeth gleaming with cold light; it was clearly not a gentle animal. The bird had dark gray feathers and opened its large mouth to pounce toward Lingyun, looking as if it wanted to swallow him in one gulp.

Looking at this aggressive strange bird, the corners of Lingyun's mouth suddenly curled into a smile. Then, Lingyun stepped into the Void with both feet, and he actually managed to raise his falling figure by several feet. This elevation allowed Lingyun to dodge the strange bird's attack, while simultaneously making the charging bird appear beneath his feet.

Lingyun stepped onto the back of this strange bird, instantly channeling all the powerful kinetic energy from his body into the bird's body. Lingyun himself used this slight recoil to twist his figure, falling downward head-first and feet-up.

"This must be the legendary palm technique that descends from the heavens!" Lingyun chuckled and said.

As for the strange bird that Lingyun had stepped on, after letting out a strange howl, the entire bird was torn into pieces by the terrifying power within its body, turning into a mist of blood that dissipated in the air.

Seeing the ground getting closer and closer, Lingyun slowly extended his right hand, powerful Source Power pouring into his palm, and then he struck out fiercely. For a moment, snow flew on the ground, revealing a huge palm print. Borrowing the recoil from this palm strike, Lingyun twisted his figure once more, landing heavily on the ground with both feet while channeling the massive impact into the earth.

With a "Boom—", the snow within a dozen meters centered on Lingyun was blasted away by this massive force, forming a clear area around him.

"This place? Ruoxi's Space-Time Coordinate, surely she didn't throw me into some Far North region or something, did she?" Lingyun frowned slightly, feeling the howling cold wind as he moved his feet, which were somewhat numb from the massive recoil. He circulated the Source Power in his body to block the intrusion of the bitter cold.

Lingyun looked around; the world was a vast expanse of white. Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, the surroundings looked like white tents had been erected, and the earth had also become silver-clad.

"This place seems to be somewhere rarely visited by people!" Lingyun muttered, but then he began to have a headache. "If that's really the case, then how am I supposed to find someone to understand the situation of this world?"

After circling the spot a few times, Lingyun finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. I don't believe this place can trap me!"

Finding a direction, Lingyun stepped forward and, before long, disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
