Central Continent.
With Feng Jiu Ge as the leader, a group of Gu Immortals stood before a massive wall of light.
The wall was incomparably tall, connecting heaven and earth. White light had condensed and solidified to form a wall, while within it, golden light filled with vitality and grandeur flickered.
This was Central Continent's regional wall, known as the Saint Regional Wall.
The Gu world consisted of five regions and two heavens. These five regions were separated by walls known as regional walls, while in the sky, the heavenly wind qi wall separated the five regions from white heaven and black heaven.
"Old Oracle, what is the result of your deduction this time?" Old Lord Can Yang of Immortal Crane Sect asked.
A young-looking Gu Immortal slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with clouds and mist that slowly transformed. After a long while, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the young man's eyes returned to normal.
The Gu Immortal spoke in a somewhat pleased tone: "It can be done. This section of the regional wall is somewhat weak, it is the third weak point we have found during these last few days. But compared to the first and second, this one is more stable. I suggest we use this place to open an entrance and cross the regional wall into Northern Plains!"
"Hahaha, good! We searched nearly a thousand areas and finally found an ideal weak point." Old Man Tian Long laughed loudly.
Fairy Ling Mei floated amidst the clouds and sighed: "We searched for several days before finally obtaining a good result, it truly wasn't easy."
"We've already wasted too much time, let's begin." Feng Jiu Ge said concisely, "Who will go first?"
Fairy Ao Xue and Fairy Ling Mei looked at each other before standing together and speaking in unison: "This time, let our Heaven's Envy Manor take the lead."
With this declaration, the two exerted their strength and activated an immortal killer move together, called Peerless Crescent Slash.
The core of this immortal killer move was the rank seven crescent moon Immortal Gu, with two rank six Immortal Gu as support. The immortal essence required to activate this immortal killer move was extremely high, and it also placed an enormous burden on the mind.
A single Gu Immortal could not display its power. Two Gu Immortals had to activate it together.
The immortal killer move was activated, forming a blue crescent moon.
The crescent moon was not large, merely the size of a water jar, but it had condensed into a solid form and shone like a magnificent work of art. Only the terrifying aura that leaked out from time to time would let one know that it was not as harmless as its appearance suggested.
The Gu Immortals distanced themselves from Ao Xue and Ling Mei.
After accumulating enough power, the two fairies gave a soft cry and released the blue crescent moon.
The crescent moon flew at extreme speed and in complete silence, radiating gentle moonlight.
The crescent moon cut into the Saint Regional Wall and instantly opened a path seventy-six steps long.
The Gu Immortals of Central Continent immediately followed the path and entered the Saint Regional Wall. Central Continent's Gu Immortals had taken their first step toward Northern Plains.
Because of this, an enormous commotion would occur in both Northern Plains and Central Continent as a result of this infiltration into enemy territory.
Starry Sky Grotto-Heaven…
Fang Yuan arrived at the loophole he had deduced based on the information available to him, and through further deductions, he was completely certain that this area was where Star Lord Wan Xiang and Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei had entered in his previous life.
Fang Yuan did not waste any time and immediately began working. He took out thousands of mortal Gu worms and began setting up a super Gu formation. The Gu worms connected with Starry Sky Grotto-Heaven's dao marks.
After that, Fang Yuan took out Blood Qi Immortal Gu, Divine Travel Immortal Gu, and two other Immortal Gu.
The formation shook four times as Fang Yuan placed each Immortal Gu in its respective position. Fang Yuan created another layer over the new formation, and after further adjustments, it was nearly complete.
"Here they come… Hmm, what?" Fang Yuan frowned, his expression becoming somewhat strange.
Outside Starry Sky Grotto-Heaven was Star Lord Wan Xiang. Star Lord Wan Xiang was a middle-aged man with a rather ordinary appearance, but there was a charm in his movements like the beautiful stars of the night.
Beside him was a proud-looking Gu Immortal. He had short white hair and a pair of golden eyes. This Gu Immortal had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He wore tight-fitting battle robes and emitted a valiant aura.
Fang Yuan immediately recognized the appearances of Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei and Star Lord Wan Xiang.
But when he inspected them, his expression changed slightly.
Naturally, Fang Yuan possessed exceptional investigative methods, and when he inspected Star Lord Wan Xiang, he found him completely unharmed.
This was the reason for his strange expression.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had obtained Star Form blessed land, and from the land spirit, he learned that the only reason Star Lord Wan Xiang had invited Shi Lei was because of his injuries.
Star Lord Wan Xiang had been injured by Song Zi Xing, who was a Gu Immortal on the same level as Shi Lei, except that he cultivated blood path. Under the pressure of the approaching heavenly tribulation and his injuries, Star Lord Wan Xiang decided to reveal his greatest secret — Starry Sky Grotto-Heaven — to Immortal Monkey King so that he could have a chance of surviving his upcoming tribulation.
But unfortunately, his soul became trapped inside Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream realm, and his soul was destroyed inside the dream realm.
But in this life, Star Lord Wan Xiang had not been injured for some reason, yet he still invited Immortal Monkey King.
This was extremely strange and unusual behavior.
"Lord Immortal Monkey King, follow me closely while I reveal the loophole to you." Star Lord Wan Xiang spoke politely as he moved forward to lead the way.
Shi Lei did not refuse and walked beside him with obvious arrogance.
The two arrived before the loophole, and Star Lord Wan Xiang began investigating something before calling Shi Lei over.
"Lord Immortal Monkey King, here is the loophole. If Lord wishes, you may enter first." Star Lord Wan Xiang flattered him.
Shi Lei sneered and walked beside Star Lord Wan Xiang. "It is better if we enter together."
The two entered through the loophole at the same time. The moment they entered, they were greeted by the sky. There were six enormous star shadows in the green sky, appearing like six round moons colored red, brown, yellow, blue, purple, and white.
Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei laughed as he looked around: "Good grotto-heaven, hahaha, it is extremely rich in resources, and from what you said, it seems to have no heavenly spirit. This is simply a gold mine!"
Star Lord Wan Xiang wanted to object, but at that moment, the star shadows in the sky disappeared and the two were transported into a strange space.
Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei shouted arrogantly: "You dare fight me, Immortal Monkey King!…" Shi Lei's tone was extremely arrogant, but inwardly, he cautiously inspected his surroundings, his pupils contracting when he could not find Star Lord Wan Xiang around him.
Immediately, thoughts of conspiracy exploded within Shi Lei's mind, but he maintained his composure and set that possibility aside. "If Wan Xiang wanted to scheme against me, he would be an idiot. The sect knows that I am going somewhere with Star Lord, so it would be an incredibly foolish risk if he wanted to plot against me while half the world knows that I went with him. Most likely, the heavenly spirit or the owner of this grotto-heaven noticed Star Lord Wan Xiang and took this opportunity to kill him once and for all."
Shi Lei might have been arrogant, but he was not stupid. There was no stupid Gu Immortal. Reaching the rank of Gu Immortal alone proved that this person was a genius and did not lack intelligence. Thus, even if there was a possibility that Star Lord Wan Xiang had plotted against Shi Lei, it was extremely small.
Shi Lei attacked the formation. The space shook several times before returning to normal moments later. Shi Lei's expression changed upon noticing this, and he could not help but feel a bad premonition seize his heart.
