Chapter 1691: Chapter 1687: Entry

With cultivation at their level, they can sense Heaven and Earth more keenly, and sense the hidden presence of Heaven and Earth’s will.

Going against the will of Heaven is defying the will of Heaven and Earth.

It’s like defying an important figure, a figure who can decide one’s life and death.

If you can glimpse the Heavenly Mechanism and alter future fate, that’s your own ability and is not truly defying Heaven.

But if Heaven and Earth’s will has already formed a concrete result and one forcibly changes it, then that is truly defying Heaven, opposing the will of Heaven and Earth.

Such a move will surely bear the wrath of Heaven and Earth’s will, and the consequences are far from light.

Even when weak, unnoticed by Heaven and Earth’s will, such actions are extremely dangerous and can easily cause disastrous outcomes.

Hence, unless at a critical moment, one wouldn’t act so rashly.

Zhou Qingyu, being his disciple, he would lend a hand to her family or friends.

Sadly, there’s indeed no way to help.

Ten years dead, everything is too late.

Unless one dies in their Inner Universe, then there’s hope; but if one dies in the outer world, there’s nothing to be done.

Zhou Qingyu asked curiously, “Master, if I die here or outside, can I be resurrected?”

The two women also looked over.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Zhou Qingyu said, “No way to resurrect?”

“Resurrection is not easy.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

If in Little Outer Heaven, practicing the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture, one can indeed use Yin Yang and Life and Death Qi to reverse life and death.

But outside Little Outer Heaven, the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture loses efficacy.

Could one imitate the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture and create a Miracle Technique that reverses life and death in this world or other worlds?

Because Little Outer Heaven has sparse Spiritual Energy, it’s easier to discern Yin Yang and Life and Death Qi there.

Yet outside Little Outer Heaven, the Spiritual Energy is abundant and dense, not obscuring Life and Death Qi but directly merging into it, making it undetectable.

Therefore, creating a Cultivation Technique similar to the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture is not easy.

One must find another path, but which path, he has no clue yet.

Shen Hanyue laughed, “Seems like our Little Outer Heaven isn’t entirely useless.”

“Everything is like that.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Little Outer Heaven’s major drawback compared to other heavens is sparse Spiritual Energy and short Lifespan.

But because of this, seeing Life and Death Qi indeed has mixed blessings.

He looked at Zhou Qingyu, “There’s a place you should check out.”

He gestured.

Zhou Qingyu leaned forward, “Master, where to go?”

Chu Zhiyuan laid a hand on her shoulder, and she vanished the next moment.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue looked at Chu Zhiyuan in wonder, scanning the surroundings.

“Princely Heir, where is Qingyu?” Shen Hanyue couldn’t help asking.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

In the next moment, Zhou Qingyu suddenly appeared, curiously surveying her surroundings, “Master, where is that…?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Not bad, right?”

Through the Inner Universe, he was fully aware of Zhou Qingyu’s state, just as he predicted, Zhou Qingyu was without anomaly within, no different than entering the Divine Domain or elsewhere.

The Inner Universe has indeed become a stable and reliable Grotto Heaven.

He could even determine this Grotto Heaven would soon evolve into a Heaven and Earth.

This is fundamentally due to the existence of the Twelve Stone Towers.

The Twelve Stone Towers accelerated the Grotto Heaven’s evolution towards Heaven and Earth.

The most fundamental source is the power of Taixu Tower.

“Master, I feel it’s similar to Divine Domain, is it Divine Domain?”

“Nearly.”

“Master, I haven’t seen clearly, can I take another look?”

“Sure.”

Chu Zhiyuan again laid a hand on her shoulder, sending her into the Inner Universe.

Shen Hanyue couldn’t resist asking, “Princely Heir, where exactly has Qingyu gone?”

Chu Zhiyuan pondered, then shook his head, “Hard to explain, just a Grotto Heaven under my control.”

“Such a Grotto Heaven exists?” Shen Hanyue amazed, “How is it?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Similar to other common Grotto Heavens.”

Shen Hanyue was full of curiosity, “May I also go in for a look?”

Chu Zhiyuan laid a hand on her shoulder.

The next moment, she vanished too.

Xiao Ruoling chuckled, “Husband, is that your place?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “Seems like it’s almost perfect now, people can enter.”

Xiao Ruoling said, “Would there be any mishaps?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “Wouldn’t you like to check it out too?”

“Then I’ll go in as well.” Xiao Ruoling said.

She then vanished.

Inner Universe

Zhou Qingyu was surveying around, soon spotting Shen Hanyue, then Xiao Ruoling.

They gathered together, standing on a mountain peak beside Jade Sea.

“Master’s wife, Aunt, it’s so beautiful here!”

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue both had admiring expressions, with their beautiful eyes greedily taking in the surroundings.

Such majestic and exquisite scenery brought them a powerful sense of awe.

Shen Hanyue said, “What kind of Grotto Heaven is this, never heard of it.”

Xiao Ruoling laughed, “Anyway, now it’s our Grotto Heaven.”

Shen Hanyue excitedly said, “Could it be exclusive to us, no one else can enter?”

Xiao Ruoling nodded.

Zhou Qingyu laughed, “I wonder what treasures here might bring unusual encounters.”

Xiao Ruoling said, “Let’s explore.”

The three women floated down the mountainside, encountering various Strange Beasts and Exotic Birds along the way.

Initially tense, but seeing these Strange Beasts and Exotic Birds held no aggressive intent.

Finding it strange.

The power of these Strange Beasts and Exotic Birds is formidable, even greater than theirs, yet showed no aggression towards them intruding on their territory.

Territory consciousness is an inherent trait of all creatures, no matter how powerful the Exotic Beast, it can’t resist, and humans are alike.

Yet they ignored them completely.

Other Exotic Beasts intruding on each other’s territory fought fiercely.

“Senior sister, do they maybe not attack people?” Shen Hanyue asked.

“Master’s wife, shall I find out?” Zhou Qingyu eager to test their skills.

Xiao Ruoling nodded.

Zhou Qingyu then threw a stone at a White Ape.

The fist-sized stone was hurled fiercely.

The human-sized White Ape reacted more swiftly, easily dodging and threw back a heap of stones.

Each stone rapid as lightning, twice as fast as Zhou Qingyu’s stone.

The three women either dodged or swung swords to shatter them, having to retreat to gain time.

Unexpectedly, the White Ape didn’t relent after throwing the stones.

With sharp cries, several more White Apes sprinted from afar.

They began throwing stones from afar, fast, accurate, and fierce.

The three women originally scattered, yet retreated and gathered together again.

A dozen White Apes surrounded them throwing stones, their maneuvering area shrank continuously.

As the area narrowed, the space for maneuvering became tight. When stones shot towards them, there was no dodging, forcing them to shatter them.

In addition to brute strength, the stones contained strange Spiritual Essence.

Though being Spirit Venerables, they couldn’t disperse the Spiritual Essence.

Evidently, their level of power isn’t inferior to Spirit Venerables, perhaps even surpassing.

Under the situation of many against few, they were more confined, slowing their movements and getting hit by several stones.

Stones struck them, wearing down most of their Protective Spirit Gang, some power getting into their bodies.

Instantly, their blood and qi surged.

“Master’s wife, Aunt, what do we do?” Zhou Qingyu said, “We can’t escape!”

They also wanted to flee, but the clever White Apes sealed the path with stones ahead of time, leaving no way to escape.
