Chapter 647: I Never Meant to Kill You

"Liuyun, I think the venerable Qing Huo, being so powerful, all die from the Nether Curse; you really shouldn't be careless!" Wu Qingcheng also urged.

"Yes! Those divine realm strongmen, if we avoid them, it's not shameful!" Su Miaoyin also urged.

"Alright then, since you all say so, we'll set out to the Outer Region and have a go at it." Ye Liuyun saw everyone urging him to leave, so he had to go along with their wishes.

However, he still wanted to wait until Liang Xue finished the inheritance, and then take Liang Xue with him.

Qing Lin gestured with him for a while, telling Ye Liuyun to go to Zhongyang Dalu first. Then after Liang Xue finishes the inheritance, it will also take Liang Xue to Zhongyang Dalu to find him.

But Qing Lin actually doesn't know where Zhongyang Dalu is or how far it is from here.

It only knows that if Ye Liuyun stays put, it will be very dangerous.

It also knows that there is the true continent, the world's center.

Ye Liuyun also doesn't know where his parents and aunts are, so wherever he goes to look is the same.

Going to Zhongyang Dalu actually offers a better chance.

After everything was settled, Ye Liuyun led the group to scour the Secret Realm for cultivation resources, staying busy for nearly a month.

Later, Ye Liuyun said goodbye to Liang Xue, and left the artifact— a protective garment— to her.

After learning the whole story, Liang Xue also told Ye Liuyun not to be careless.

"Hurry to Zhongyang Dalu, don't let the Underworld God catch up. Once I finish the inheritance, I'll go to Zhongyang Dalu to find you, and help you fight the Underworld God."

"You don't have to worry about me! Keep cultivating, and after you're ready, come find me!"

Ye Liuyun comforted Liang Xue, then after everyone else said goodbye to her, he stored them in a Storage Ring and had Qing Lin send them off.

"The energy in the Secret Realm is running low; send me to the border of the Qingxiao Domain!"

Ye Liuyun said to Qing Lin.

Qing Lin nodded, waved at Ye Liuyun, and immediately borrowed the Secret Realm's energy to send Ye Liuyun out.

Liang Xue watched Ye Liuyun disappear, feeling very down. The two have always been apart more than together.

"I wonder if next time we meet, he'll still remember me! Will there be more women around him!"

Actually she wants to follow Ye Liuyun forever, but fears her cultivation level is too low and would trouble him.

"I need to boost my strength quickly, then rush to find him!"

Having said that, she turned around to continue receiving the inheritance.

Liang Xue was simultaneously receiving the inheritance and cultivating; her realm has now reached the Seventh Layer of Tian Gang, and her progress is already rapid.

The main thing is her bloodline, whose quality has undergone a massive change. Her bloodline originally had a special affinity for the spiritual energy in the air.

Now after the boost, her affinity for all kinds of airborne energy is exceptionally strong; she can easily convert the finest energy into her True Essence, or use it directly for attack or defense.

Thus, the later she goes, the faster her cultivation will be.

The Earth Demon Dragon again follows Qing Lin to hunt everywhere, preying on ferocious beasts to increase its strength.

The three Sect elders outside the Secret Realm have not seen Tang Yao emerge. They guarded outside for over a month before giving up. At least for now they won't attack the Secret Realm again.

Ye Liuyun was teleported out of the Qing Huo Secret Realm, and felt another wave of dizziness.

When he reappeared, he suddenly found the ground vanished beneath his feet and fell straight down.

He immediately circulated his True Essence, steadied his body, and surveyed the surroundings.

He was in an endless starry sky, shrouded by a thin mist, limiting his view.

He projected his Divine Sense at full power, yet found no person or continent-like place.

"Where is this? Is the Outer Region really like this?"

Ye Liuyun surveyed the surrounding space, activated his Golden Pupil, and realized that the distant shining stars were actually individual continents. In this endless starry sky, his Golden Pupil can see far as long as nothing blocks it.

He even saw human activity on a distant continent.

To conserve True Essence, Ye Liuyun took out his Flying Boat and released everyone.

Then he also freed Xiao Mingyue from the demon net.

Xiao Mingyue's Storage Ring had long been taken by Wu Qingcheng and the others, but no artifact was found inside.

"What are you trying to do?" Xiao Mingyue asked warily.

Ye Liuyun glanced at her nervous expression, gave a slight smile, said nothing more, and began Soul Search, looking for a map in her Sea of Consciousness.

After cross-checking for a while, he confirmed this was the border area of the Qingxiao Domain, within the Three Yuan Sect's territory. The nearest island is Wolf Fang Island.

It is named for its wolf-tooth shape. The island is small, much smaller than Cangyun Continent. Yet it is the last stop of the Qingxiao Domain; beyond it lies beyond Qingxiao Domain.

Thus Wolf Fang Island serves as a long-distance supply station.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mingyue's Sea of Consciousness lacks any map beyond the Qingxiao Domain.

"It seems we need to go to Wolf Fang Island to find a map."

Ye Liuyun thought of this, ended the Soul Search, and placed Xiao Mingyue outside the Flying Boat.

"You're not going to kill me?" Xiao Mingyue asked, puzzled, not knowing his intentions.

"Go ahead, I never intended to kill you!" Ye Liuyun waved at Xiao Mingyue, bidding her farewell.

"You're really letting me go?" Xiao Mingyue still doubted. Previously, whenever Ye Liuyun acted, it was always precise and ruthless. So she thought she was already doomed.

"Go back and advise your Sect's Elders not to plot attacks on the Secret Realm, and stop thinking about seeking Cangyun Continent. Otherwise, when I return, I will utterly annihilate your Three Yuan Sect!"

Ye Liuyun instructed Xiao Mingyue.

"I will convey your words, but I can't guarantee they'll listen to me!"

Xiao Mingyue now finally believed that Ye Liuyun truly intended to let her go.

"Farewell!" Ye Liuyun said, and without further words, piloted the Flying Boat toward Wolf Fang Island.

His Golden Pupil's view was unobstructed, seeing Wolf Fang Island as close, but in reality it was still far away.

Even at the Flying Boat's speed, it would likely take about three days to arrive.

"The Outer Region is truly vast!" Lei Ming and the others, upon seeing the endless starry sky of the Outer Region, couldn't help but exclaim.

"What's with this thick fog?" Wu Qingcheng found the mist at the Qingxiao Domain border strange.

"Based on Xiao Mingyue's memory in the Sea of Consciousness: it's the Fog Sea, naturally formed. Crossing the Fog Sea brings you to the next realm. But this Fog Sea is enormous; even under ideal conditions, it could take half a year to a year," said Qian Qianhu Yue.

Ye Liuyun, drawing on Xiao Mingyue's memory, explained it to everyone. Yet regarding the actual situation, Xiao Mingyue's account is merely hearsay.
