Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1012: This Blockhead
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Damn it, this idiot actually established another Dragon God Sect, what is he plotting?"
Ye Yun's brow was deeply furrowed.
He had never been able to figure out this Dragon Xuan.
Dragon Xuan had evolved from the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, yet unlike it, he didn't seem to be under its control. He was quite an enigmatic figure.
Ye Yun couldn't discern whether Dragon Xuan was the mastermind or merely an associate in their schemes.
Regardless, he was undoubtedly no good person.
"Dragon God Sect? What are you talking about?"
The woman in red was startled, her manic demeanor receding as she stared blankly at the young man in white before her.
The Dragon God Sect... it held a deeply significant place in her memories.
She distinctly recalled being the two hundred and forty-ninth generation disciple of the Dragon God Sect, and she also remembered the sect's Thirteenth Generation Ancestor.
"Come with me!"
The young man in white smirked sinisterly, reaching out to seize the woman in red. He then ascended into the sky, piercing through the vast grey mist and heading directly towards the vortex above.
Simultaneously.
A radiant light descended once more from the vortex, enveloping the pair.
The light flashed.
In an instant, both of them vanished.
"Heh, with these two bothersome individuals gone, the Grey Mist Sea can finally be at peace!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, casting a cold laugh in the direction of the void vortex.
Meanwhile, in another area, Ye Yun had not intervened as Dragon Xuan and the woman in red departed.
He had discreetly placed a Divine Consciousness Imprint upon the woman in red.
No matter how cunning Dragon Xuan was, he failed to detect this Divine Consciousness Imprint.
Ye Yun was determined to discover the location of the Dragon God Sect that Dragon Xuan had established.
It would be incredibly advantageous if he could pinpoint their stronghold.
Ye Yun's Divine Sense, honed through a certain Super God Level cultivation technique, was exceptionally potent, rivaling that of a Divine Emperor Realm powerhouse.
Consequently, even across vast distances, Ye Yun could monitor the woman in red's movements through this Divine Consciousness Imprint.
However.
This method was, of course, bound by range limitations.
Though he had never precisely tested it, Ye Yun confidently believed that as long as they remained within the Divine Land, he would be able to sense the imprint's location.
"Senior Brother, is something wrong? I sense you seem a bit preoccupied!"
Gu Anran, who had been scanning the surroundings for mist demons, suddenly turned, scrutinizing Ye Yun from head to toe with a curious expression.
"It's nothing, let's continue on,"
Ye Yun replied with a smile, quickening his pace as he walked alongside Gu Anran.
After they traversed a mountain peak.
Seven to eight mist demons lunged towards them with roars.
Unexpectedly, among these mist demons was one at the third level of the Divine Monarch Realm.
"Haha, Senior Brother is incredible! This is the first third-level Divine Monarch Realm mist demon we've encountered in so long. Senior Brother, please act quickly!"
Gu Anran's cheeks flushed slightly as she exclaimed with excitement.
Ye Yun gestured through the air.
These mist demons were instantly frozen in the void.
The eager Gu Anran swiftly moved forward, raised her sword, and eliminated all the mist demons.
After collecting the mist demon inner cores, Gu Anran declared with a pleased expression, "Senior Brother, we've gathered quite a number of mist demon inner cores this time. They should fetch a good price!"
"Indeed! The Ten Thousand Monster God Temple must be quite pleased to have a substantial customer like you!"
Ye Yun chuckled.
"Yes, these inner cores can be sold for a considerable amount of spirit stones, or perhaps exchanged for precious pills for my future cultivation..."
Gu Anran nodded, murmuring to herself.
Ye Yun let out a soft chuckle.
This demeanor of his junior sister brought him a sense of contentment.
He strongly supported the principle of diligently seeking out cultivation resources independently.
For those who had everything provided for them, their achievements on the path of cultivation would inevitably be severely restricted.
Naturally, Ye Yun would not neglect Gu Anran; he intended to provide her with some cultivation resources in due course.
After all, she was his junior sister, and Ye Yun was not one to be stingy.
...
Ye Yun continued onward with Gu Anran.
Concurrently, Ye Yun maintained his vigilance over the Divine Consciousness Imprint placed on the woman in red.
Deep within a certain void within the Divine Land, where white mist permeated every space.
Thunderous sounds echoed.
A vortex materialized, followed by a descending beam of light.
Within this light appeared a woman clad in red and a youth garbed in white.
"Where is this place?"
The woman in red gazed at the boundless expanse of clouds and sea, a sense of unease growing within her heart.
Her eye twitched, and a hint of madness began to resurface on her face.
"This is merely a fleeting stop within the void."
The young man clad in white spoke with an air of indifference.
He abruptly turned, dispelling the swirling mist to unveil a Teleportation Array that materialized from seemingly nowhere.
"Where is it you're truly transporting me to?"
The woman in red voiced her query.
"Ao Xue, your questions are far too numerous!"
The white-clad youth's brow furrowed, his eyes glinting wickedly cold, a frigid expression settling upon his features.
"Ao Xue, is that my name?"
The girl dressed in red looked utterly bewildered, then she peered intently at the white-clothed youth, anxiously pressing further.
"Indeed, your name is Ao Xue. Keep this well in mind from this moment forward."
The white-clad youth stated with utter disinterest.
Having uttered these words,
he paid no heed to the red-clothed woman's reaction, pulling her into the confines of the Teleportation Array.
The array erupted in light, and the two individuals vanished instantly, leaving not a trace behind.
"Still employing trickery!"
Witnessing this sequence of events, Ye Yun let out a few cold, mirthless chuckles.
Dragon Xuan was incapable of detecting the Divine Consciousness Imprint that had been affixed to the red-clothed woman, Ao Xue. Consequently, regardless of the number of teleports undertaken, it proved to be entirely futile.
She remained firmly ensnared within his surveillance.
After undertaking a total of six consecutive teleports, Ye Yun's expression underwent a subtle shift.
Each teleportation covered an unfathomable distance.
The efficacy of this Divine Consciousness Imprint's detection... was beginning to wane under such conditions.
"Precisely where is this individual heading?"
A chill coursed through Ye Yun's heart.
The Divine Land was of such immense scale; its exact dimensions remained unknown to him. Yet, after six jumps, the cumulative distance traversed was staggeringly vast, beyond easy comprehension.
He engaged in a rough estimation.
The distance encompassed by these six teleports, if he were to traverse it by tearing through space himself, would have demanded at least three months of continuous travel.
Viewed from this perspective, Dragon Xuan, who was escorting the red-clothed woman, had already ventured into a remote and distant sector of the Divine Land.
A grim expression settled upon Ye Yun's features, a sense of foreboding stirring within his core.
Should this teleportation barrage persist, even his potent Divine Consciousness Imprint would eventually falter against such insurmountable distances.
At that juncture, his ability to perceive would be irrevocably severed.
"There remains but one final teleportation."
Amidst the ethereal, mist-laden clouds, the white-clothed youth declared with gravitas.
"The final one?"
Ye Yun's spirits lifted considerably upon hearing this.
The white-clad youth drew a deep breath, extended his hand, and a cascade of seven-hued light ascended towards his head.
This object was none other than a purple Phoenix Feather, radiating a mesmerizing spectrum of multicolored light.
The sheer aura emanating from this feather was overwhelmingly potent; even a mythical artifact of God-tier quality would likely pale in comparison to this extraordinary purple Phoenix Feather.
A shimmering, seven-colored luminescence enveloped the pair in a tight embrace.
"To what destination are we bound?"
The red-clothed woman, Ao Xue, cried out.
The disquieting premonition intensifying within her heart.
The teleportation array flared to life once more, and the duo instantaneously dematerialized.
Residing within the tumultuous expanse of the Grey Mist Sea,
"Damn it all!"
Accompanied by a curse reverberating within his thoughts, Ye Yun's countenance darkened, his expression shifting dramatically in an instant.
This seventh teleportation had shocked Ye Yun, revealing that his connection to the Divine Consciousness Imprint had diminished by over two-thirds its former strength.
At this very moment, his sensory perception had become noticeably indistinct.
"We have arrived!"
At this precise instance, Dragon Xuan's voice, channeled through the implanted Divine Consciousness Imprint, pierced directly into Ye Yun's mindscape.
"Where is this place?"
Ao Xue surveyed her surroundings, her body trembling uncontrollably, overcome with a profound sense of dread.
