Chapter 170: The Ancient World

  Guo Yao's speed was incredibly fast, almost pulling Xiao Su out of the ground and into the air. The three of them ran for tens of thousands of meters before the dark shadows behind them suddenly disappeared. However, just as they were about to catch their breath, a massive boulder appeared in front of them.

  This boulder is also five meters high, like a human heart, and exactly the same as the previous one.

  The giant stone was surrounded by emptiness, the walls of the canyon on both sides were pitch black and thick, everything was exactly the same as just now.

  "Is this the second giant stone or the original one?" Su Ya's mouth was agape.

  "It should be the second one, I suppose! After all, we've walked so far and moved in a straight line, it's impossible to return to the starting point."

  Guo Ye shook his head solemnly and said, "I don't think so. I feel that there is a force in the dark, supporting this giant stone and guiding our thoughts. Is it an illusion?"

  "This is no illusion." Su Ya was a fantasy woman of Di Huan Palace, and she said it very affirmatively.

  "We'll keep moving forward." Guo Yi left a faint footprint on the ground as a marker.

  The three of them continued to move forward for tens of thousands of meters. This time, Guo Yi seriously recorded the length of this section of distance, a total of 33,333 steps. When Guo Yi took his last step, he happened to step on one of the footprints he had left behind earlier.

  "Sure enough, we're back to the starting point. There's only one massive boulder here... no, I should say that this entire canyon has only this one massive boulder, and nothing else. And this canyon is only 33,333 steps long, repeating in a cycle." Guo Yi muttered under his breath.

  "How did it end up like this?" Koroku also left a hidden mark, knowing that he had returned to his starting point.

  Guo Yiwang gazed at the massive boulder and said, "It seems that if we want to get out of this canyon, we can only start with this boulder. I wonder what kind of world lies beyond it?"

  Guo Yi took a step forward and punched the giant stone that looked like a heart, but this punch was like hitting an invisible wall. The boulder didn't move at all, and Guo Yi was instead bounced back by the force of the recoil.

  This punch was enough to split a small mountain, but it couldn't shake this boulder in the slightest, nor did it leave even a slight dent.

  "Not good!"

  Kuang Ye took three steps back, only to see that the boulder was actually breathing like a heart, with blood vessels-like tendons emerging from its surface, absorbing the surrounding blood water into the blood vessels like a great river, and then flowing into the "boulder heart".

  Just as the boulder began to "breathe", Guo Yi heard that faint and intermittent piano sound again, the piano sound was elegant and unparalleled, like a fairy under the moon playing the piano by the water's edge, the heavenly music made all things in the world lose their color.

  The boulder would sometimes swell and then shrink, drawing in strands of blood energy into a tendon that emitted a bloody glow, as if the boulder was nurturing an ancient evil demon within.

  "Ahh!"

  The sound of the zither stopped abruptly, and a true dragon's roar suddenly rang out, shaking the eardrums of the three top players of the "Spirit List" so much that they felt like they were about to burst. After the dragon's roar, there was a series of giant wails, each one piercing through the heart, as if a prisoner was being tormented in purgatory. The wailing sounds were accompanied by the sound of iron chains being dragged, as if something was awakening.

  Kuo Yechien hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth and rushed towards the entrance of the blood vessels on the "Giant Stone Heart", and was swept into the "Giant Stone Heart" with the flow of blood.

  "This place cannot be ascended from above, nor can it be exited to the left or right. This massive boulder is extremely perilous, yet it is the only way out. As the great road says, 'Life and death are extremes,' and it is within the most treacherous of death zones that a path to life may be found."

  Gu Lingshu and Su Rou saw Gu Yao rush headlong into the giant stone, they didn't hesitate either, jumping in one after another.

  The tendons on the giant stone were only one meter in diameter, just enough for a person to pass through. Guo Yao was at the forefront, being propelled forward by the blood flow, and after nine turns and eighteen twists, the tendon reached its end, suddenly ejecting Guo Yao out.

  "Boom!"

  Kuang Ye flipped out of the blood spring and floated in a cold, empty space. The surrounding blood water had all disappeared, leaving only an endless expanse of nothingness. Ancient paths crisscrossed through the void, weaving together into a dense network. These ancient paths had existed for unknown ages, and it was unclear what kind of power supported them, allowing them to float without falling.

  The space here is like an independent universe, with ancient roads floating in the void of the universe, traversing in all directions, and no one knows where the other end of the ancient road leads to.

  There are countless ancient roads floating in the void, extending to all five directions. Around these ancient roads, there are many withered and ancient trees that have been suspended for unknown ages, long dead, and would turn to dust at a mere touch.

  A stream of blood flew over from the sky, then sprayed into the depths of the void. Two human figures were ejected one after another from the blood stream and also flew out, landing on an ancient path suspended in mid-air beside Guo Yao.

  Su Ya was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of her, stretching out her small hand to cover her surprised little mouth, and finally exclaimed: "Have we come to a piece of outer space?"

  The land stretches endlessly in all directions, and it's impossible to see where it ends. It really is too similar to the starry sky outside the domain.

  Guo Yi shook his head and smiled softly: "The starry sky outside the domain is countless, but there are no stars here at all. This should be a small world left behind by the ancient times."

  "No, I think this space is vast and boundless, it's likely to be an abandoned great world, which is on the same level as the ancient Xuan domain. We are now only in one corner of it." Gu Lingshu had a different view, he had read many ancient books, and said: "In the ancient classics, there is a record that the ancient Xuan domain has been destroyed three times, and a large part of the great world's territory has been lost. The original territory of the ancient Xuan domain was three times larger than it is now. Some territories have evolved into small worlds, while others have become fragmented great worlds. This place may also be one of the fragmented great worlds that were lost from the ancient Xuan domain."

  Gu Leshan wasn't sure either, but he seemed to know a bit more than Guo Yi and the others.

  "My sister also said that the ancient Xuan domain was destroyed three times, and the last time it was completely split in two. One half is now the great world of ancient Xuan, but the other half disappeared without a trace. Many powerful people went to the outside of the ancient Xuan domain to search for it, but they couldn't find it. After tens of thousands of years, it was forgotten. Could this be that other broken world?" Su Ya's eyes shone brightly.

  The vast territory of the ancient Xuan domain stretched 360 billion miles from north to south, and if such a vast territory were to split in two, the scene would be enough to scare even the bravest person to death.

  Although the space here is vast and boundless, it is mostly a void, with no land below, only ancient paths piercing through the air. Guo Yao felt that this place was likely not a fragment of that shattered world, but rather an ancient hidden realm, probably hiding a shocking secret.

  "Let's go! We'll follow these ancient paths and see where they lead to," Guo Yi suggested, "These ancient paths are crisscrossing, but roughly divided into five directions. Let's head in the direction of the Blood Spring Jet, what do you think?"

  "Guo Yanzhe, having been through a hundred battles without dying, always able to turn bad luck into good fortune, can be called the number one lucky dog of the ancient Xuan domain. You all say this, so we naturally want to come and share in your good fortune." Su Ya said with dissatisfaction towards Guo Ye.

  Guo Yao's face turned red, and he smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Heh heh! Who knows me so well? Your evaluation of me is actually this high?"

  "My sister said so." Su Ya hummed.

  "Your sister is really wrong, how can she say such things about her fiancé? I've achieved all this through my own efforts, not a bit of it was due to luck."

  Guo Yitan sighed and casually chose a winding ancient path, heading in the direction of the blood spring gushing into the air, because he felt that the sound of the qin was coming from that direction.

  Three people proceeded forward in the void, because they no longer had the heavy water pressure, they could already use their spiritual energy, and their bodily movements were rapidly unfolding, just one hour and they traveled tens of millions of miles on the ancient path.

  "Look, there's a ruined palace ahead on the ancient road." Guo Yi shouted and accelerated forward.

  This is a palace floating in the void, with four ancient roads passing through it. It is one thousand meters higher than the ancient road plane and requires climbing thousands of steps to reach the top. Although this huge palace has been shattered, there are divine lights flying about inside, and surging treasures rise into the air. Besides these, Guo Yao also heard a woman's gentle singing from afar.

  This is a desolate and empty space, tens of thousands of miles without any human habitation, yet this palace actually transmitted the sound of a woman's song. How could it not make Guo Yi's blood boil with excitement? Everyone mustn't misunderstand, Guo Ershao didn't have any other evil intentions, he was simply just excited.

  Kuo Yeh unfolded the Bodhi triple movement, and his speed far exceeded Su Ya and Gu Leng. In a few flashes, he stepped over the stairs and rushed into the palace with radiant light.

  "Hmph! A lecher is a lecher, and at the sound of a woman's voice, he runs faster than a dog." Su Ya chased after him relentlessly.

  Gu Lingsheng shook her head and said, "I think you've misunderstood him. If he really needed a woman, he wouldn't have to put in much effort at all. You would definitely be the first one to throw yourself into his arms."

  "What do you mean?" Su Yajiao shouted, her eyes shooting out a cold, sharp gaze.

  The lonely one was startled, and with a single grasp, the killing sword shattered. Hurriedly, he said: "Little Shifu is not that kind of casual person, Guo Yinzei wants to pick this rare flower, definitely needs to put in some effort, at least he must first prepare a big bed, haha!"

  "Dare to laugh at me? I'll kill you."

  Su Ya's angry pursuit arrived, and Gu Leng's speed suddenly increased again, quickly rushing to the bottom of the broken palace. Just as they were about to climb the stairs, a frightening cry was heard from above, followed by the sight of Guo Yao running out of the palace with bare feet and naked body, his speed almost twice as fast as before.

  "Could he really have gone to pick flowers? How can he be so fast?" Leng Lian was suddenly puzzled.
