Chapter 340.1 (1/2)
The Inheritance of the Emperor’s Star
The eighteen gates of life and death were eerily floating indistinctly in the air. Nine of them were the death gates while the other nine were the life gates. If one mistakenly enters a death gate, they would not be able to come back alive even if they are at the Void Refinement Realm.
Fortunately, Wei Xuan had already distinguished the nine life gates for Ning Fan and he had even entered six of them.
One of the three remaining life gates would be the gate leading to the place where Lu Wu was trapped.
Rubble and debris floated across the hollow space.
On the ruins, Ning Fan and all the women stood on a star compass with their eyes fixed on the gates of life and death.
Ning Fan consumed several Fifth Revolution pills to suppress his injuries for the meantime. His left eye flashed with purple light, activating his Fu Li eye in order to differentiate which of the three life gates would lead to Lu Wu.
As for the women, some were feeling dejected, some were feeling relieved while some were sighing with emotion. But ultimately, most of them found it difficult to believe that they were still alive after what had happened earlier.
Beside the women, the black dragon and the black puppet were still guarding them even though there were wounds everywhere on them. Apart from them, there were now three more spiritual puppets which were draped in cloaks and had eyes which glowed in faint green.
“Brother Lu Bei! Is it really true?! These three puppets were refined from Realm Beasts at the True Immortal Realm?! Sister Bei Yao is so amazing!” Xi Ran’s eyes twinkled with stars as she held a long sword striking the three new spiritual puppets.
It can’t be wrong! These three puppets were indeed refined from the corpses of True Immortal Realm experts! Although they are just half-completed products, the three of them have power equivalent to Early Void Refinement Realm cultivators!
“Yes…” Ning Fan sighed with feelings.
If it was not for Yuan Yao who acted to save me this time, perhaps I would have really died just now.
Yuan Yao had yet to fully recover her cultivation base. After eliminating the Realm Beasts, her cultivation base was once again sealed and regressed to the Divine Transformation Realm.
However, the seal this time was just temporary. As long as Yuan Yao wills it, she could tear off the seal again anytime and unleash her Shedding Void Realm power.
Sealing her cultivation base would reduce the burden on her immortal veins and thus accelerate the recovery of her injuries. It was the reason why she chose to do so.
As for Luo You, her injured primordial spirit was on the verge of collapsing as she had lent Ning Fan the power of her primordial spirit. In order to protect herself, she had confined herself and gone into deep slumber inside the Yin Yang Locket.
Ning Fan did not tell Yuan Yao anything about Luo You. He just secretly made up his mind to search for some items that could nourish the primordial spirit to help Luo You restore her primordial spirit’s power after returning to the Endless Sea.
“No matter what, it’s all thanks to Bei Yao who acted right on time. It was because of her that we are all still alive. However, I really didn’t expect that Bei Yao is a Shedding Void Realm expert…”
Wu Yan shifted her gaze to Yuan Yao and her eyes were filled with gratitude. However, Ning Fan’s words made the latter feel ashamed of herself.
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been hunted by the Realm Beasts… It’s all my fault.”
“Enough! No more saying thanks and sorry! Let’s talk about the main issue first. Little Cucumber, which life gate shall we enter? We can’t drag this on any longer! There will be another big trouble if there are any other Realm Beasts coming for us.”
“Indeed. We really should act as fast as possible.”
Ning Fan nodded and pushed his Fu Li eye to the maximum level.
Of all the nine life gates, six of them could be skipped and they just need to select from the remaining three gates.
Among the three snow-white giant gates, only one of them was glowing with a gleam of golden light.
When his Fu Li eye captured this golden gleam, Ning Fan immediately flicked his sleeve without hesitation to store all the women and puppets and turned into a ray of light, dashing into that gate.
Right at the moment they entered the giant gate, all the eighteen giant gates collapsed simultaneously!
The most eerie thing was that the whole Star Palace also vanished into nothingness all of a sudden!
A few days later, in the ruins of the hollow space, three Realm Gates opened once again. From the gates, three experts walked out one after another. All of them were Realm Beasts of the True Immortal Realm!
The Realm Beast leading the group held a tracking disk in his hand. Apparently, they came for Yuan Yao.
The disk in his hand had a trace of Yuan Yao’s qi. As long as she is within the vicinity of ten billion li* (500m per li), the disk would be able to display Yuan Yao’s location.
However, while they were on their way to the Star Palace, the light spot representing Yuan Yao’s location on the disk disappeared in a flash!
The old man who was the leader of the group looked curiously at the ruins of the place. At where the Star Palace used to be. His eyes turned grim right after.
“The Star Palace has disappeared! That lowly woman is gone too! What had happened?! Could it be that the lowly woman has hidden herself in a dichiliocosm?!”
“Humph! This lowly slave is really lucky enough to slip away from us! How should we explain this to the Great Elder when we return to the tribe?”
“Explain? Just tell whatever we have to tell! The life plates of Hei Wu, Hei Mu, Ye Lu and Ye Gu broke already. In other words, they have already died. The four True Immortal Realm experts who were sent to pursue a lowly slave woman who had sealed her own cultivation base all died! The Great Elder is very furious now!”
“On our way just now, I’ve caught some juniors and searched their souls and memories. From their memories, there was a Divine Transformation Realm young man named Lu Bei who managed to fight on par with Hei Wu… After that, the lowly woman showed up from the storage pouch of that young man. Is it possible that the reason why the four of them failed to hunt down that lowly slave was because of that young man?”
