As the words fell, the flying ship surged forward, dragging countless white ripples behind it, breaking through the "lake water" that kept many away, rushing toward that long-haired figure. As they drew closer, Wen Ping’s expression shifted from anxious to serious, with an indescribable discomfort welling up inside him. Perhaps it was because with Shi Hua dead, the only person he once knew and was familiar with in the Immortal Sect was Old Man Wang, who was aging and could pass away at any ti.
Or maybe it was because of sothing else.
In short, it was unclear and inexplicable.
After all, people’s minds are unpredictable.
One’s own heart, even harder to understand.
"Hmm?"
When the flying ship was less than a hundred ters from the figure, Wen Ping suddenly furrowed his brows, a trace of doubt appearing in his eyes.
"A blue shirt and long pants, Shi Hua wouldn’t wear sothing like that, would she?"
Only n wore long pants!
As he focused his gaze, the flying ship slowly stopped in front of the floating corpse. Upon closer inspection, Wen Ping finally saw the full picture of the person—it was actually a man. His appearance couldn’t be described as handso, not like Yun Liao who could enchant won, but he exuded a steady, mature aura, a natural charisma that radiated even after death. Though he appeared to be in his thirties or forties, Wen Ping felt his allure was as powerful as Yun Liao’s.
After all, won not only like good-looking n, but also those with stories.
"Qu Realm, oh Qu Realm, if the won of the world knew you swallowed a ’man’, one of those hopeless romantics might turn into a mythical bird and fill you up." Wen Ping chuckled and withdrew his gaze from the man.
After retracting his gaze, he intended to depart.
"Move forward."
As the words fell, the flying ship gradually started moving, churning the "lake water" as it proceeded forward.
Wen Ping’s gaze also ventured into the depths of the Qu Realm ahead, searching for the next long-haired figure, which might just be Shi Hua.
Suddenly, a chill crept up Wen Ping’s back.
"What is going on?"
Just as he was about to turn his head, he heard the system’s voice.
"That man isn’t dead."
Wen Ping turned his head, just in ti to see the man opening his eyes, exuding a terrifying aura that engulfed the decay, making Wen Ping shiver. The most frightening part was that he stood up, moving within the Qu Realm as if it were firm ground, looking toward Wen Ping.
No.
Accurately speaking, he was looking at the flying ship.
Wen Ping subconsciously retreated a few steps, "What does he want?"
This person being able to survive in the Qu Realm indicated his cultivation level might be comparable to Long Ke’s. Fortunately, the flying ship had the Flowing Cloud Armor, so whatever he intended should pose no major problem...
Before his thoughts were complete, the man lunged towards the flying ship, crashing into its Flowing Cloud Armor.
Bam!
When the two collided, the flying ship trembled violently.
Wen Ping’s heart tightened instantly, but to his surprise, an even more shocking scene unfolded right afterward.
The man’s hands suddenly gripped the Flowing Cloud Armor protecting the flying ship and Wen Ping, eight fingers piercing through it like sharp blades. If he didn’t know the Flowing Cloud Armor was unmovable even by a Mountain Suppression Realm expert, Wen Ping would have thought it was rely paper. Then, he saw the man pull with his arms, tearing open a large gap in the Flowing Cloud Armor that could resist a Mountain Suppression Realm expert, wide enough for him to enter.
Bam!
Bam!
Two ridian gates opened at once, and the Long Yue Sword flew out from the storage ring, ready and waiting in front of Wen Ping.
The sword’s tip pointed straight at the man slowly intruding into the flying ship.
With blades drawn and crossbows ready, Wen Ping couldn’t help but murmur, "I actually encountered a powerhouse above the Mountain Suppression Realm, no wonder even the Qu Realm couldn’t kill him." After a murmuring, the Long Yue Sword was about to fly forward.
It’s obvious what the result will be, whether he can win or not.
He had never fought the Mountain Suppression Realm, whether he could defeat them was still uncertain, let alone contend against soone above that level?
But at this mont, he had to push forward despite everything.
Just then, the man’s dominating aura suddenly vanished, his eyes closed again, and he fell like a kite with a broken string onto the deck of the flying ship.
There was a thud, followed by nothing but the vibrating sound of the ridian gate.
The powerhouse above the Mountain Suppression Realm lay face down, just ten ters from Wen Ping, silently and without any presence, his aura returning to the indistinct state it was while drifting in the Qu Realm.
"Is that it?" Wen Ping felt relieved, slowly approaching the exhausted middle-aged man, while the Long Yue Sword stayed on standby at his side, the Profound Level Changmo Technique and Fire Spirit Body quietly activated.
Better safe than sorry.
The system’s voice suddenly erged, "No need to worry, host. He can’t do anything other than breathe now."
"Understood." Despite saying this, Wen Ping still went over to poke the person, and only when there was no reaction did he close the ridian gate and put away the Long Yue Sword.
The system continued, "Although this person wasn’t killed by the Qu Realm, he’s essentially no different from dead, unable to do anything. Those few breaths earlier had exhausted all his remaining strength."
"Above the Mountain Suppression Realm, truly terrifying. Even in such a state, he could still rend the flying ship’s Flowing Cloud Armor." Wen Ping remarked while lifting him up, glancing at the now healed Flowing Cloud Armor, then at the mighty figure he held, "Pity, a powerhouse above the Mountain Suppression Realm ends up dying so miserably in the Qu Realm... such a pity."
Finished speaking, Wen Ping was about to toss him off the flying ship.
"If the host wants to save him, it’s not impossible either."
The system suddenly uttered a sentence that halted Wen Ping’s action.
"Can you save him?"
"Yes. Originally, I intended to tell you about this after you found Shi Hua. Because if Shi Hua is already dead, telling you would be aningless. But since this happened, I’ll tell you now. As long as there’s a glimr of life, the Sea Thought Strong Tea made in the kitchen can pull them back from the gates of death."
"Does the Sea Thought Strong Tea have such effects?"
Wen Ping was stunned, his imagination suddenly running wild.
If he could heal an Earth Unrestricted Expert and use him in the future, the power of the Immortal Sect would see a significant rise in a short ti.
And if a sect could have a powerhouse above the Mountain Suppression Realm stationed, no one would dare challenge the Immortal Sect for being second only to the Heaven and Earth Lake.
The system didn’t speak at this point, letting Wen Ping indulge his fantasies, just providing a summary of the Sea Thought Strong Tea.
Antidote to All Poisons.
Enhances Spiritual Power.
A mont later, the system added, "Of course, if you want to use the Sea Thought Strong Tea to save an Earth Unrestricted Expert, it may take a very long ti."
"Ti is not the issue... wait! Earth Unrestricted?"
Wen Ping looked puzzled.
"This refers to the realm above the Mountain Suppression, unlocking the Earth-Breaking ridian Gate, located on the sole of the left hand; Divine Profound unlocks the Fulfilled ridian Gate, located on the sole of the right hand; further up is Mountain Suppression, unlocking the Gathering Spirit ridian Gate on the chest; the fourth is the Frenzy Shock ridian Gate, located at the soles of both feet. Once it’s opened, any place between Heaven and Earth can be traversed as if on solid ground, whether there’s water or fire, nothing can hinder an Earth Unrestricted Expert."
"And the Qu Realm?"
"The sa applies to the Qu Realm."
"Then how did such a formidable expert fall into the Qu Realm again?"
It shouldn’t be possible.
