Chapter 247: First Arrival at Shuiyue Dongtian

Three years later, as the number one person in the martial arts world, Duan Fengyun felt increasingly lonely.

The entire martial arts world feared him, and his life now lacked even the slightest ripple, which left him, a man who had always loved excitement, feeling a bit at a loss.

On a sudden whim, he held the Xuanyuan Sword and went to Lingyun Cave all by himself.

Looking at this place where he had once made grand aspirations upon his arrival, Duan Fengyun felt a sense of how things had changed and people had moved on.

He looked at Lingyun Cave and strode straight inside.

After the Fire Qilin sensed Duan Fengyun's presence, it also ran out.

The man and the beast, who had once met with hostility, now stared at each other calmly, and Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"Fire Qilin, long time no see."

The Fire Qilin let out a roar, signaling its response to Duan Fengyun.

The Fire Qilin sensed the energy within Duan Fengyun's body; it knew it was no match for Duan Fengyun, and it also knew that Duan Fengyun had no malicious intent, so it left.

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"As expected of one of the Four Great Auspicious Beasts, the Fire Qilin, you are indeed smart enough."

Duan Fengyun continued to go deeper into the cave; he wanted to see if he could still meet Xuanyuan Huangdi.

He walked to the place where the Dragon Vein and the Xuanyuan Sword had once been placed; at this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword, having returned to its old home, began to react intensely.

Then, a voice that Duan Fengyun was incomparably familiar with rang out.

"Good disciple, why have you come!"

After hearing the voice of Xuanyuan Huangdi, Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"Master, isn't it because I missed you?

Master, I have a question I would like to ask you."

As Duan Fengyun's voice fell, a towering figure clad in golden armor, Xuanyuan Huangdi, appeared.

Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled and said:

"You must be asking where all the strong people in this world have gone.

Looking at your current cultivation, there should be no one in this world who is your match; are you feeling too bored!"

Duan Fengyun nodded and replied:

"Yes, Master, I feel that the dull life now is not the life I want!"

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Huangdi waved his finger, and a light gate instantly appeared behind Duan Fengyun.

Xuanyuan Huangdi pointed at the light gate and said:

"What is behind you is the Martial Dao Gate; by passing through this gate, you can reach other parallel worlds.

But as for the worlds behind the Martial Dao Gate, I do not know where they are, nor do I know what will happen to you there!"

Duan Fengyun turned to stare at the Martial Dao Gate; he reached his hand into the Martial Dao Gate, but after thinking of Youruo, Xiao Wuyou, and the others in the Dragon Gate, he pulled his hand back.

He asked:

"Master, if I go for a long time, wouldn't Youruo and the others be very worried?

Also, if I go to other worlds, how am I supposed to come back?"

Xuanyuan Huangdi replied:

"In the parallel worlds of the Martial Dao Gate, no matter how long you stay, only one second will have passed in this world when you return.

As long as you complete the task given to you by the Martial Dao Gate, you can leave that world.

At that time, you can choose to continue to other worlds, or return to this world.

But you must remember, if you die in another parallel world, then you will truly disappear from this world."

Duan Fengyun nodded; the Martial Dao Gate, parallel worlds!

As a transmigrator himself, would he actually be worried about not being able to adapt to other worlds?

It was time to add some color to his current life, otherwise, it was too boring.

Duan Fengyun looked up at Xuanyuan Huangdi and smiled:

"Master, you know I have never been able to stay idle; just let me go to other worlds to play and stir things up.

Master, farewell!" After finishing, Duan Fengyun plunged into the Martial Dao Gate.

At this moment, the voice of the Martial Dao Gate rang in Duan Fengyun's ears.

"Challenger, hello, welcome to the Martial Dao Gate.

In the Martial Dao Gate, you can reach other parallel worlds.

Please confirm, do you wish to head to another parallel world?"

Duan Fengyun smiled:

"Confirm!"

As soon as Duan Fengyun's voice fell, a flash of white light passed, and when Duan Fengyun opened his eyes again, he was already in an underground palace.

At this moment, the voice of the Martial Dao Gate rang out:

"Challenger, hello, the world reached this time is the 'Shuiyue Dongtian' world.

Challenger, your task is to learn the Dragon God Skill and defeat the Nether Sword Yin Zhong!

Because your strength as a challenger severely exceeds the combat power of this world, the Martial Dao Gate will adjust your strength to be the same as the male protagonist of Shuiyue Dongtian, Long Bo.

Once you, the challenger, regain the Xuanyuan Sword, you will be able to restore your strength.

Challenger, good luck."

After the Martial Dao Gate chattered in Duan Fengyun's ears for a long time, it finally disappeared.

After the Martial Dao Gate disappeared, Duan Fengyun discovered that the Xuanyuan Sword on his back was gone, and his whole body felt quite drained; it seemed that, just as the Martial Dao Gate had said, his strength had been sealed by it.

Duan Fengyun looked at this underground city, where a snake-shaped statue was facing him.

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"It seems this is the Underground City of that old demon Yin Zhong.

Looking at how neat and clean this Underground City is, it should not have been destroyed by the Tong Clan Brothers yet, so I must have arrived at the early plot stage of the Shuiyue Dongtian World."

Just as Duan Fengyun was muttering to himself, the guardian of the Underground City appeared.

The blood python emerged directly from the snake-head statue, opened its bloody maw, and exposed its sharp, sinister teeth right before Duan Fengyun's eyes.

Duan Fengyun unleashed his aura and shouted angrily:

"Beast, what do you want!"

The giant python sensed the dragon breath within Duan Fengyun's body; it roared at him a few times in frustration before turning back into a statue.

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"You beast are still quite smart; if you didn't know your place today, I would have sent you off to be made into snake soup."

Duan Fengyun looked around the Underground City, preparing to go out and meet the three Tong Clan Brothers, Yin Zhong, and the others.

Duan Fengyun walked out of the Underground City and arrived at a room.

There was no need to guess; this was certainly Yin Zhong's room.

Duan Fengyun avoided the guards outside and flew onto the main street.

Just as Duan Fengyun reached the main street, he was bumped into by a woman who appeared suddenly.

Duan Fengyun was fine, but the woman was knocked to the ground.

The woman stood up, brushed off her clothes, and was just about to flare up at Duan Fengyun when the person chasing her caught up.

A man dressed in white, wearing a white cloak, grabbed the woman's hand and said:

"Dou Dou, your injuries have only just healed, don't run like this, it will affect your recovery."

After hearing the man in white's words, Duan Fengyun took a careful look at the woman.

With a blushing oval face, eyes that shimmered like flowing water beneath her brows, and thick, jet-black hair, she was, upon closer inspection, a woman of peerless beauty.

As for the man in white, he was young but possessed a steady aura, with a head of curly hair similar to Bu Jingyun's; there was no need to guess that he was the male lead of this Shuiyue Dongtian World—Tong Bo.

Tong Bo's image as a male lead was the screen impression Duan Fengyun had once liked the most.

The handsome appearance of a twenty-year-old, the grand ambitions for the common people of a thirty-year-old, the elegant temperament of a forty-year-old, the steady restraint of a fifty-year-old, the profound wisdom of a sixty-year-old, and the deep, affectionate love of a seventy-year-old. Indeed, seeing him in person, he lived up to his reputation; Tong Bo truly gave one the feeling of a gentle spring breeze.

Tong Bo looked at Duan Fengyun's unfamiliar face and said:

"Excuse me, brother, I am sorry that my friend here accidentally offended you just now."

Tong Bo had seen everything that just happened clearly, so he took the initiative to apologize.

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and smiled:

"It is nothing. Since your friend is injured, you should take her to get treated quickly."

After saying this, Duan Fengyun departed gracefully.

He did not want to get acquainted with them too early; he prepared to follow the plot's development and watch from the shadows.

Watching Duan Fengyun walk away, Tong Bo said with a serious expression:

"This person's aura is the strongest I have ever encountered in my life. I hope he is a friend, not a foe."

Dou Dou looked at the departing Duan Fengyun and said unconvinced:

"With his ruffian-like appearance, where does he look powerful?

Even if he is powerful, he is certainly not as powerful as you, Tong Dage."

Tong Bo shook his head and said:

"Every gesture he made gave me the feeling of the natural Dao; his cultivation must have already reached the pinnacle.

If I were to fight him, in a prolonged battle, I would certainly not be his match."

Dou Dou looked at the direction Duan Fengyun had left in disbelief; she really did not want to believe that there was someone even more powerful than her Tong Dage.

After leaving Tong Bo and his companion, Duan Fengyun arrived at a restaurant; he wanted to see how the craftsmanship of this world was.

He casually ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of wine, sat at a table by the window on the upper floor, and watched this strange world while sipping his wine.

At this moment, a burst of rapid hoofbeats reached his ears, and he looked forward following the sound.

He saw a middle-aged man with black and white hair and beard, a sturdy build, riding a fast horse, with several guards in silver armor rushing toward the direction Duan Fengyun had just come from.

Looking at the temperament radiating from between the man's brows, Duan Fengyun knew who he was.

Besides that great demon Yin Zhong, who else could have such a murderous aura?

Yin Zhong also seemed to sense that someone was observing him in the dark; he turned his head to look around, but found nothing.

In the end, he gave up and continued to gallop on his horse toward Yujian Villa.

His injuries had relapsed, and he had to return to his Underground City as soon as possible to use the Mercury Pool and the blood python to heal.

Yin Zhong returned to his room without stopping and then quietly slipped into the Underground City.

He took off his outer garment, revealing his toned muscles and a body covered in scars.

Yin Zhong touched the scars on his chest; centuries of hatred still made him seethe with resentment:

"Long Teng, all of this is thanks to you.

To properly repay you for the harm you caused me, I have sent your entire Long Family down to keep you company.

Hahahaha."

After venting the hatred in his heart, he lay back and sank directly into the Mercury Pool.

At this time, the blood python also emerged, sticking out its huge snake tongue to lick Yin Zhong's wounds.

Under the dual toxicity of the mercury poison and the blood python's venom, the injuries on his chest were suppressed once again.

He stood up, stroked the blood python's head, and looked around, asking:

"Blood python, has someone been here?"

The blood python let out a low growl in response to Yin Zhong, and Yin Zhong asked in return:

"Are you saying a strange man has come here, and the strange man's aura makes you afraid?"

The blood python nodded, and Yin Zhong could not help but think of the feeling of being spied on while on the road; could it be that someone had set their sights on him?

However, having lived for five hundred years, he would not fear any demons or ghosts; he had always been one to meet soldiers with shields and water with earth.
