Chapter 689
I Don't Want to Wait Any Longer
No?
Hearing this, Lin Yang asked in confusion, "Senior Yueyou, why?"
The polar seas are so dangerous; it's always good to have more resources.
But Yueyou wouldn't let him go?
"Lin Yang, you have also witnessed the dangers of the Extreme Sea. Even before reaching the central area, there are already storms comparable to those above the half-step Dao level. The storms in the central area are all at the level of power above the Dao level!"
The explanation of "月幽" is straightforward.
This slightly surprised Lin Yang: "The sea storm in the central area can actually reach the level of the Dao Realm?"
"Yes, this is still the least dangerous, so you should not go any further."
Yueyou said again:
"I am trapped in the heart of the extreme sea, yet I can still hold on. If you come, you may break the existing balance and cause us to fall together."
“This…” Lin Yang was taken aback.
Yueyou then added, "Lin Yang, your cultivation speed is unprecedented. Instead of risking your life to come to the Heart of the Extreme Sea now, it would be better to wait until you reach the true half-step Dao realm, or even the Dao realm, before coming!"
Lin Yang fell silent for a moment.
He understood what Yueyou meant.
His improvement rate is fast, so it would be safer to wait a while longer.
Just for now...
“Senior Yueyou, reaching the half-step Dao realm is not easy. I have already sensed the bottleneck, and it’s hard to say how long it will take. However, my strength is no weaker than that of someone at the half-step Dao realm, and may even be stronger. Perhaps I can help you break free from this predicament,” Lin Yang told truthfully.
Yueyou said again, "Lin Yang, I can still hold on. Although you have felt the bottleneck, I believe that this bottleneck will not hold you for too long. Let's wait until you truly break through before coming back. Otherwise, if we both fall into the same trap, it will be even worse."
As she spoke, Yueyou paused, then continued in more detail:
"I am currently in a delicate balance with what is trapping me. Without the intervention of a stronger force, forces of the same level will only disrupt the balance and make the situation worse."
"Even if your strength is comparable to that of someone at the half-step Dao level, it's not a qualitative improvement. If you come here now, there's a greater than 90% chance you'll be trapped as well."
"So, you should go back first and come back when you've truly broken through!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang stopped insisting: "In that case, I'll leave first."
"Okay." Yue You nodded with satisfaction, then said, "To be honest, Lin Yang, seeing you reach this level of cultivation so quickly really surprised me."
She was indeed very surprised.
Lin Yang's improvement rate far exceeded her expectations.
Now, he's even coming directly to the Arctic Ocean to try and help, which makes Yueyou sigh that Feng's choice of Lin Yang back then was indeed worthwhile.
Then, Yueyou sent a picture to Lin Yang.
It was a whirlpool in the sea, and Yueyou was at the center of it.
A mysterious force trapped Yueyou within the vortex.
"This is what's trapping me. There should be something even more powerful below the vortex, but I can't detect it yet."
Yueyou pointed to the whirlpool and said softly:
"This power is peculiar. It didn't erupt directly. If it had, I might not have been able to defeat it. As long as I don't make any rash moves, the power of the vortex won't increase."
"I reckon that only by reaching the Dao level can I reliably intervene in this power to help me escape this predicament."
Lin Yang's brows immediately furrowed: "Is stability only possible on the most important roads?"
“That’s how it should be, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the trap together,” Yueyou said. “The special power that maintains the vortex below should also be at a level above the Dao.”
Through the image, Lin Yang could only see that Yue You and the vortex were in a special balance; he could not feel the power of the vortex.
Hearing Yueyou say this, Lin Yang felt even heavier.
Trapped by such a special and powerful force, Yueyou had previously risked her life to help him.
This is really...
"Senior Yueyou, I will strive to break through as soon as possible!" Lin Yang said solemnly.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I showed you the situation here not to put pressure on you, but to let you know that this balance cannot be easily broken, otherwise you will definitely not be willing to leave now," Yueyou said seriously.
"I understand," Lin Yang nodded.
"Then you should leave the Extreme Sea as soon as possible. The Extreme Sea is not stable during this period. Do not get caught in the storm. The power at the center of the storm is greater than that of those above the Half-Step Path." Yueyou reminded her.
"Okay, I'll go back now." Lin Yang didn't delay any longer and immediately returned.
Yueyou didn't say anything more, chatted with Lin Yang for a couple of minutes, and then ended the communication.
Sending messages also consumes her energy.
At the whirlpool.
Sensing Lin Yang's retreat, Yue You turned to look at the unfathomable surge of power below, a peculiar light flashing in her eyes:
"Even though you've trapped me, I can still improve with your power, albeit slowly. But one day, I will figure out what you really are!"
Yes, that's right.
Although she has been trapped here for years, the vortex's unique characteristics have also enhanced Yueyou's abilities.
Although the improvement was not significant, it gave her the confidence to continue coexisting with this vortex.
Lin Yang's arrival was indeed a pleasant surprise for her.
However, even without Lin Yang's help, she was confident that she could get out of this predicament someday.
Of course, the timing is hard to say.
"Lin Yang, there might be a big surprise when you come again next time."
Yueyou's gaze, which had been fixed on the bottom of the vortex, gradually returned to its source.
Some secrets are hidden in the far sea.
The vortex beneath her is likely one of them.
The reason I didn't mention it earlier is because Lin Yang's strength is indeed not quite there yet.
“Brother Feng, you weren’t wrong about this kid.” Yue You then looked at an ice coffin not far from the bottom of the vortex.
That was none other than Feng's ice coffin!
The two are not far apart.
But the ice coffin remained unaffected by the whirlpool's force and simply sank quietly into the sea.
Looking at Feng's appearance in the ice coffin, Yueyou smiled.
The reason she wasn't in a hurry to escape all these years was because she could always see the ice coffin here.
Back then, she was trapped in the vortex because she sensed the location of the ice coffin and was eager to get closer.
Sometimes, Yueyou even wondered if Feng chose this location because of that unique vortex.
Anyone who tries to get close to Maple's ice coffin may be trapped in the vortex.
There was just one thing she still couldn't understand.
Even though she was considered a powerful figure among those on the half-step path, she still couldn't do anything to this vortex.
How did Feng solve this problem?
If Feng had surpassed the half-step path, how could he have been hunted down to death by the Chu Kingdom?
"Is there something else going on? Or has some other, more powerful entity intervened?"
Yueyou's eyes flickered, then she looked tenderly at Feng:
"But no matter who it is, Brother Feng, I will do everything I can to avenge you!"
……
Meanwhile, Lin Yang began his return journey.
Although he felt somewhat regretful that he couldn't help Yueyou, seeing that Yueyou was indeed safe in the Extreme Sea for the time being put at ease made him feel much better.
"Next, it's time to head to the ancient battlefield," Lin Yang pondered his next steps.
As for the Chu Kingdom and the Lanlou Kingdom...
As long as Tianheng can successfully reach the half-step realm, then there will be no problem. After all, to put it bluntly, the main reason Chu Kingdom is causing trouble for Lanlou Kingdom is because of him!
If he went to the ancient battlefield, and Lanlou Kingdom had another person at the half-step level, Zhen Sheng and the others wouldn't go there to cause trouble.
Therefore, whether or not Tianheng can reach the ancient battlefield as soon as possible depends on whether he can successfully break through.
"I hope Elder Tianheng can break through safely..." Lin Yang sincerely wished.
Time goes by.
More than 20,000 years later.
On this day, in the endless space-time, Xuan Taihuang, together with Xuan Xiaofu, entered a high-level space-time.
They were immediately escorted to the Kingdom of Lanlou.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xuan Taihuang, along with Xuan Yu and the others, returned to Baizhi Kingdom first.
Xuanxiao and Uncle Fu stayed behind.
Lin Yang has already informed Mo Mian that someone from the Mo family will be coming later.
"Lin Yang...you are amazing."
Xuanxiao was a little reserved at first, but after seeing that Lin Yang's attitude towards him had not changed, he became as intimate and natural as before.
He was also deeply moved.
Even now, in the high-level timeline, Lin Yang is one of the few people standing at the very top.
This left Xuanxiao and Uncle Fu, especially Uncle Fu, in disbelief, feeling as if it were a dream.
The past seems like yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yang had become a figure comparable to someone at the half-step Dao level.
Uncle Fu found it unbelievable.
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Xuanxiao, now that you've arrived in a high-level space-time, with your talent, reaching the Dao realm shouldn't be a problem. Keep up the good work!"
Xuanxiao's aptitude is indeed quite good. Although he is not as good as him, as long as he works hard, there is no obstacle to reaching the Dao Realm.
As for Uncle Fu...
He is now showing signs of old age.
Uncle Fu had been delayed for too long, and coupled with the pursuit he had suffered back then, he had no hope of continuing his cultivation.
Transforming into the Dao is difficult.
So many years have passed, and I'm almost at the end of my life.
Lin Yang didn't say much, but used his life force to cleanse Uncle Fu's body, hoping that he could live as many years as possible.
Uncle Fu was quite frank about this: "Lord Lin Yang, you don't need to worry about me. Birth, aging, sickness and death are all part of life. I have lived so many more years and seen everything I have now, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. Even if I go to the underworld, I can give my answer to Miss."
Lin Yang let out a long sigh and said nothing more.
A fleeting sadness crossed Xuanxiao's eyes, but he pretended not to care so as not to worry Uncle Fu.
Soon, someone from the Mo family arrived.
Lin Yang then arranged for them to meet with Uncle Xuanxiao Fu alone.
When the two sides met again, they were filled with sighs and lamentations.
Subsequently, Xuanxiao and Fubo also went to Baizhi Kingdom.
As for the Mo family, they finally agreed to relocate the entire clan to Lanlou Kingdom.
Lin Yang also returned to the endless space-time.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to return to the endless space-time.
The less time you can stay after returning, the less you'll have.
After a brief meeting with his mother and others, Lin Yang and his clone exchanged cultivation experiences before returning to the higher dimension.
Then, he started to worry about that girl, He Linxue.
That girl arrived in a high-level timeline tens of thousands of years ago, and he also asked the Lanlou Kingdom to help find her.
But to this day, there is still no news about He Linxue.
Even when Lin Yang used the causal connection, he still couldn't sense He Linxue's location.
This made him very uneasy.
"Given Lin Xue's physique, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to successfully reach the half-step Dao realm, and her cultivation speed would be astonishing. It's impossible that there was no news at all. Could it be that something happened?"
Lin Yang was worried, but he could only intensify the investigation.
Because we couldn't find even the slightest clue, we could only feel anxious.
Just as Lin Yang was constantly searching for news about He Linxue.
Good news came from Tianheng.
He has successfully completed the half-step path and emerged from seclusion!
"It actually succeeded!"
Upon receiving the news, Lin Yang immediately returned to Lanlou Kingdom, and was very happy for Tianheng.
"Elder Tianheng, congratulations on your successful breakthrough!" Lin Yang offered his congratulations.
Yan Hao and the others also emerged from seclusion to celebrate this joyous occasion.
Tianheng himself was also very emotional: "To be honest, I didn't expect to break through so smoothly."
Yan Hao laughed and said, "I guess it was that old bastard Zhen Sheng's breakthrough that spurred you on."
Upon hearing this, Tianheng smiled and said, "Well, I do have to thank him from a certain perspective. His breakthrough really gave me a lot of inspiration."
"No matter what, breaking through is all that matters!" Wan Fei chuckled.
Currently, Lanlou Kingdom also has two individuals who have reached the half-step level.
If we include Lin Yang, that makes three!
This is unprecedentedly strong!
Several elders, including Yan Hao, began to show some interest: "Should we take this opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Chu Kingdom?"
Tianheng didn't speak, but looked at Lin Yang.
Lin Yang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary. Zhen Sheng is very strong, and he has the power of the magic array to suppress him in the capital. He can't do anything to the Chu Kingdom. It's better to hold back for now and wait until I break through completely."
Whether it's the Chu Kingdom or the Lanlou Kingdom, both are top-tier kingdoms, both have ancestors who have reached the Dao level, and both have the power of magic arrays to suppress them, making it very difficult to destroy them.
The two sides are evenly matched now, so fighting back and forth is a pure waste of resources and time.
Tianheng shared the same sentiment as Lin Yang: "I also agree with Lord Lin Yang's idea. When we cannot defeat the enemy in one blow, temporary patience is also an option."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yang:
"Anyway, Lord Lin Yang's cultivation speed is very fast. It's not too late to talk about it when Lord Lin Yang has truly reached the half-step Dao realm."
Seeing that Tianheng and Linyang were of the same mind, the elders Yanhao and the others said no more.
Lin Yang also took the opportunity to directly express his idea of going to the ancient battlefield.
These words startled Tianheng and the others.
"Lord Lin Yang, are you going to the ancient battlefield?"
They exchanged glances and began to dissuade them one after another:
"Lord Lin Yang, this matter must be handled with utmost care. The ancient battlefield is not like our separate high-level space-time; there are countless half-step cultivators there!"
"Yes, the ancient battlefield connects to different higher-level time-spaces. Even if only a handful of people above the half-step level from each higher-level time-space enter the ancient battlefield, there are still at least tens of thousands of them!"
"There's absolutely no need for you to risk your life on the ancient battlefield. It would be much safer for you to continue your seclusion and try to break through!"
Tianheng and the others did not really agree with Lin Yang going to the ancient battlefield to seek a breakthrough.
Because ancient battlefields are indeed too dangerous!
Lin Yang smiled and said, "I know that ancient battlefields are dangerous, but risks and opportunities often go hand in hand."
"I've reached a bottleneck. If I simply go into seclusion, it will take too long. I don't want to wait any longer."
