The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2351 - 2340: Ancient Realm! The Great Storm!

Another five days vanished like smoke. Over this period, Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan journeyed onward without any respite. During their travels, Ye Chenfeng gleaned crucial details from both women regarding their homeland. It became increasingly probable that the last vestiges of the Dragon Clan resided there, necessitating Ye Chenfeng's deeper understanding of their precise location. Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan disclosed that their world existed on a higher plane than the Tian Xuan Realm. However, their world, referred to as the Ancient Realm, was significantly smaller than the entirety of the Tian Xuan Realm, comparable in size to only the Central Continent. Despite its dimensions, the Ancient Realm was far from diminutive, considering the immense scale of the Central Continent within the Tian Xuan Realm, which itself harbored countless sects. The true marvel of the Ancient Realm lay in its cultivation resources, which far surpassed those of the Tian Xuan Realm, boasting an abundance of Spiritual Energy that was simply incomparable. This ancient world had a long-standing history, fostering numerous families, sects, and Cultivator Cities. Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan offered only a superficial overview of the Ancient Realm, vaguely touching upon their family matters and the power dynamics within it. Ye Chenfeng's thoughts then drifted to the Moon Fairy he encountered at the Immortal Moon Pavilion on the Profound Continent. At that time, the elder Bai Feng Xian had sensed that the Moon Fairy was a direct descendant. Following elder Bai's subtle guidance, Ye Chenfeng had refrained from revealing that the residual soul of the Wu ancestor resided within his Dantian. He merely stated that he had a connection to the Wu ancestor, Wu Fengxian, and had stumbled upon a trace of his residual soul by chance. He had then instructed the Moon Fairy to relay a message to the Wu clan, inviting them to seek him out willingly. Initially anticipating a swift response, Ye Chenfeng was surprised by the absence of any contact. His encounter with Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan was entirely unforeseen, and these two women remained unaware of their ancestor's presence within Ye Chenfeng's Dantian. Given that the Moon Fairy was a direct descendant of elder Bai, her standing within the family likely conferred significant importance. Logically, the Wu clan should have dispatched someone by now; had something befallen the Moon Fairy? As Ye Chenfeng pondered whether to inquire about the Moon Fairy from Wu Lingxiang, a sudden halt came from Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Bai Xiaorou, and Zhao Jinpeng in unison. They found themselves at the extreme southern edge of the Central Continent, standing atop a mountain soaring ten thousand feet high, directly before a chasm of unfathomable depth. Gazing into the abyss revealed only absolute darkness, with no discernible bottom, as if the cliff plunged into the very depths of Hell. "This cliff serves as the passage to the Ancient Realm," Wu Lingxiang announced, "Let us leap together!" Upon hearing that they had reached the gateway to the Ancient Realm, Ye Chenfeng temporarily set aside his questions, resolving to ask Wu Lingxiang once they had entered. Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan plunged into the bottomless abyss without hesitation. Following their lead, Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xiaorou, and Zhao Jinpeng also jumped. As Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan, who had descended first, channeled Spiritual Energy from their bodies and gestured in the air, a cascade of vibrant, multicolored light erupted within the chasm. With a resounding "Boom!" the blinding, kaleidoscopic display rendered Ye Chenfeng and the others incapable of opening their eyes. Simultaneously, they felt their descent halted, their feet landing firmly as if on solid ground. As their vision gradually returned, they found themselves within a luminous white space, where a pathway constructed from Spiritual Energy extended before them. "We can only reach the Ancient Realm by traversing this passage," Jiang Caixuan explained. As she spoke, Jiang Caixuan led the way along the passage, with Wu Lingxiang and Ye Chenfeng following closely. The walkway within the white expanse stretched for a considerable distance. After approximately ten minutes of walking, an abrupt tremor shook the Spiritual Energy passage, causing Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan to frown in concern. "Boom!" The entire passage instantly crumbled, and Ye Chenfeng and the others on it felt their bodies plummeting. Just as Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan attempted to grasp Ye Chenfeng, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" violent gales materialized within the white space, overwhelming even Zhao Jinpeng and carrying him away uncontrollably.

An expression of utter grimness settled on Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan’s faces as the fierce and immense tempest raged, rendering their bodies immobile. A silent question echoed in their minds: "How could this fate befall us?"

Trapped within the storm’s fury, their physical forms were completely at its mercy. They were aware that such tempests were a known phenomenon within the passage to the Ancient Realm.

However, the passage was only meant to become unstable every hundred years, lasting for a single year. The current events were occurring a full five years ahead of schedule. In all previous instances, the passage’s instability had been precise, adhering strictly to the hundred-year cycle and its one-year duration.

This unexpected timing meant that Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan had not prepared for or warned about the colossal storms that could materialize within the space leading to the Ancient Realm.

Who could have ever predicted that the instability would manifest so eerily ahead of its time?

It was only those who had reached the formidable Divine Venerable Realm who could navigate these tempestuous conditions with any degree of freedom.

Cultivators who had not yet reached the Divine Venerable Realm were left with no choice but to be swept along by the powerful currents of the storms.

While these tempests were not inherently lethal, being violently carried by them would render the surrounding passage space exceedingly unstable afterward.

The storm’s immense power scattered Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xiaorou, Zhao Jinpeng, Wu Lingxiang, and Jiang Caixuan to disparate locations. Although the storm’s propulsion would still eventually guide them towards the Ancient Realm, it was highly probable that each would arrive in vastly different areas, potentially separated by immense distances.

Caught in the grip of such a tempest, Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan felt an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. Despite their desperate struggles to reach Ye Chenfeng, even with their Spiritual Energy pushed to its absolute limit, they could not budge an inch.

Zhao Jinpeng and Bai Xiaorou, too, attempted to maneuver closer to Ye Chenfeng, but they found themselves equally powerless against the storm's might.
