"What, you can sense the River Map through the Luo Book? This... this is truly..."
When Ye Haochuan told Ye Hao about this, Ye Hao was so excited that he almost jumped eight feet high.
"Yes, Grandpa, I’m planning to set off now."
Ye Haochuan nodded and smiled at the extrely excited Ye Hao, saying softly, "The sooner we find the River Map, the sooner we can open the Heavenly Road and then..."
Ye Haochuan didn’t finish his sentence. He had several things to do in the Upper Realm, but those were his matters and didn’t concern Ye Hao.
"Alright... Haochuan, you lead the way, and Grandpa will go with you."
Ye Hao didn’t probe further into what Ye Haochuan didn’t say. His mind was filled with thoughts of ascending to the Upper Realm.
Upon hearing Ye Hao’s words, Long Keyue’s little face dropped. She had rarely found ti to visit Ye Haochuan today, but she didn’t expect him to set out for the River Map again.
However, she wasn’t soone who didn’t know her priorities, so she had no choice but to sigh helplessly, pondering when she could go out and have fun with Ye Haochuan next ti.
"Um... Grandpa, I can go with Keyue, right? Anyway, the whole world is under our Xuann; I won’t encounter any danger."
Seeing Long Keyue’s pitiful look, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but laugh, but he decided not to let Ye Hao join.
After all, Ye Hao was not like him, having nothing to do all day. Ye Hao was the Sect Master of Xuann, so it wasn’t excessive to say he was incredibly busy.
"Alright then, if anything happens, give a call."
Ye Hao thought about it and realized he indeed had many things in hand. If they found the River Map and his affairs weren’t arranged well, he would inevitably be delayed. So, he agreed.
Ye Haochuan, that guy...
Long Keyue felt a warmth in her heart seeing this scene. She knew Ye Haochuan’s words were mostly considering her feelings. At this mont, she was once again moved by Ye Haochuan’s gentle care.
"Haha, you two hurry and co back."
With Ye Hao’s cultivation level, Long Keyue’s little actions couldn’t escape his notice. Suddenly enlightened, he waved his hand to let Ye Haochuan and the others leave.
Initially, he considered arranging a few people to accompany Ye Haochuan, but upon understanding the situation, he dropped the idea.
"Hmm."
Ye Haochuan and Long Keyue walked out hand in hand, their faces beaming with smiles. Ye Haochuan subtly sensed the direction through the faint connection with the Luo Book and set off with Long Keyue.
They raced westward, occasionally stopping at scenic spots for fun, mostly at Long Keyue’s request.
Ye Haochuan thought about how once the Heavenly Road was opened, he would leave and not know when he’d return. So he indulged Long Keyue, combining walking with play.
Despite their leisurely pace, they reached the vicinity of their destination the next day, where the cold wind chilled and water froze. This place was the roof of the world, the highest mountain globally.
"No wonder it took so long to find; it turns out this thing is hidden on Mount Everest!"
Ye Haochuan looked at the towering peak piercing the sky, confirming through the Luo Book where the target was.
Snowstorms here were fierce, and the air temperature frighteningly low, but they mattered little to Ye Haochuan and Long Keyue.
They rely circulated the Spiritual Energy within to counter the cold, and Ye Haochuan’s Heaven’s Cover kept the raging winds at bay.
Ye Haochuan shalessly used the excuse of cold weather and fatigue from the journey to carry Long Keyue on his back.
Of course, he actually wanted a "high-level massager" on his back, so Long Keyue yielded under Ye Haochuan’s insistence and allowed herself to be carried.
After carrying Long Keyue, Ye Haochuan felt the faint aura again, discovering it ca from the peak’s highest point.
So he stepped forward with Long Keyue, using the Great Yan Step to reach the summit. After scanning around, he found nothing but whiteness.
Long Keyue curiously surveyed while Ye Haochuan followed his senses, his brow furrowed, staring into the void beyond the summit.
"Haochuan, what are you looking at?"
Long Keyue waved a hand in front of Ye Haochuan, but he didn’t blink, prompting her to ask.
"My senses tell the River Map is here, but I can’t see anything."
Ye Haochuan pointed at a void outside the cliff, confused. He even activated the Heavenly Eye, yet found nothing.
"Hmm?"
Long Keyue followed Ye Haochuan’s point but saw nothing, leaving them both frozen like statues.
"Forget it, let’s fly over and check."
Ye Haochuan tightened his grip, securing Long Keyue on his back. Then, he took a step, and the Great Yan Step soared.
Whoosh~
In the next instant, Ye Haochuan and Long Keyue appeared at the point Ye Haochuan observed earlier, but after a montary ripple, their figures vanished into the void.
"Hmm, what’s going on, where is this?"
Upon reaching the void, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt dizzy. Just as he tried to counter it with Spiritual Energy, he realized he’d arrived outside a towering city wall.
"Hao... Haochuan... my... my cultivation is gone! How... what’s happening?"
Long Keyue on Ye Haochuan’s back panicked, suddenly like an ordinary person.
Ye Haochuan then sensed his own cultivation seed absent.
But, for so reason, the Heart Thunder Armor remained.
Apparently, this place only restricts a cultivator’s cultivation, while Heart Thunder, being self-contained with energy stored in the Heart Thunder Armor, remains unaffected.
Ye Haochuan reached this judgnt after pondering.
"Hmm? Don’t panic, Keyue. Be calm, let’s first figure out where we are."
Ye Haochuan quickly soothed Long Keyue, realizing chaos often worsens situations.
"Hmm."
Looking at Ye Haochuan, feeling his calm composure, Long Keyue felt an involuntary sense of security.
"Let’s go, let’s walk along this city wall first."
Ye Haochuan led Long Keyue along the towering city wall. Despite strolling for a long ti, they found nothing but city wall and grass.
"Sothing’s wrong here!"
Ye Haochuan suddenly halted, observing the surroundings to realize the unchanged scenery despite the lengthy walk.
"Heavenly Eye, open!"
Ye Haochuan frowned, his eyes emitting a ray of light, sweeping the surroundings. Gradually, the city wall turned transparent.
