Chapter 760: The Teleportation Stone (Second Update)
However...
Fang Yu clasped his hands and said, "Without any concealment, I have been in this Secret Realm for quite some time now, and my friends are still guarding outside. Although this earthly paradise is tranquil and peaceful, the outside world has quietly undergone massive changes, and conflicts are arising, I cannot abandon my brothers and hide here to live out the rest of my life..."
"Well spoken! I admire someone as sentimental and righteous as you. It's unfortunate to hear that conflicts have arisen in the outside world. Well then, Bai Qi..." Elder Bai said.
Bai Qi bowed and said, "Elder Bai."
"You escort this young brother."
"Yes!"
It was then that Fang Yu slightly nodded and said, "Thank you... This time I extended your life by forcibly breaking out from the Six Paths and Five Elements. From now on, all Medicinal Stones will be useless for you. Nevertheless, your lifespan can still extend for a hundred years. After a hundred years..."
At this point,
he did not continue.
Elder Bai laughed and said, "A hundred years, I am already very content... After all, life, old age, sickness, and death are inevitable. Many people wish they could naturally reach their end and ascend to the west like I will."
Fang Yu smiled and said, "It's good that Elder Bai thinks this way... However, there's still one method if you wish to continue extending your life, and that is... Breakthrough!"
Breakthrough?
Everyone was shocked.
Elder Bai's body was already too weak to cultivate, how could he still cultivate?
This, too, was a luxury for him.
Fang Yu then said, "You have a hundred years... Why not try... In the civilization of Huaxia spanning thousands of years, countless Cultivation Methods have been left behind. The Bai Family, having made significant historical marks, surely has some profound heritage. I believe you can find these Cultivation Methods. That's all I have to say, fare thee well..."
Elder Bai nodded his head, waved his hand, as a gesture of farewell.
Bai Xinxin dashed forward.
Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, she said, "Big brother... Thank you..."
Fang Yu patted her head and smiled, "The outside world is very dangerous. Be careful when you go out in the future. If you meet someone like me, they might not be as kind-hearted."
"Mhm." Bai Xinxin nodded.
Having said that.
Fang Yu, holding a lotus and some other medicines, walked towards the direction he had marked.
Bai Qi followed Fang Yu out.
Outside the courtyard.
The younger generation of the Bai Family were all glowering fiercely at the entrance.
Seeing Fang Yu and Bai Qi come out, they nearly erupted in anger.
They almost wished they could rush forward and devour Fang Yu.
Just as Fang Yu stepped into the courtyard.
The young people couldn't hold back anymore and rushed up, surrounding Fang Yu.
"Damn it, where are you going?!"
"Want to leave? No way!"
"If I don't skin you today, I am not surnamed Bai!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
Their eyes were blazing.
Bai Qi stood with his hands behind his back and immediately shouted,
"Get lost!"
This shout was loud and firm, even carrying a surge of Inner Essence behind it.
Inner Essence burst forth, carrying the shout and dispersing it among the crowd.
Everyone was pushed back by Bai Qi's shout...
"Elder Bai!"
"Elder Bai, what are you doing?"
The crowd looked shocked, not understanding why this was happening.
Bai Qi sternly said:
"Kneel down!"
Many were still confused, and another gust hit them.
The disparity in their strengths was so great that they had no power to resist.
The youngsters of the Bai Family knelt down en masse.
Bai Qi, who seemed to dislike idle talk, didn't bother explaining and merely gestured towards Fang Yu saying, "Please."
Fang Yu nodded.
He quickened his pace.
And left the village.
Bai Qi then asked, "Do you know where the exit to the Secret Realm is?"
Fang Yu looked puzzled, "Don't you know?"
Bai Qi shook his head, walking and talking, "Maybe we've lived in the Secret Realm for too long, as if the Secret Realm is deliberately tricking us… I tried to find the exit but couldn't find it anywhere."
"That's really strange... You've branched out here, so many people, if everyone looked, it should've been easy to find. There's always a way in and a way out," Fang Yu said.
"When we first came in, that was indeed my thought. Many elders of the Bai Clan thought the same. Leaves must return to their roots, after all, this is not our root... But as time passed, this thought faded... The older generation gradually passed away, and that concept almost disappeared, the younger generation doesn't even know where they came from, most people are unaware, this is the Secret Realm..."
Saying this, Bai Qi sighed, stopped walking, and said, "Maybe, this is the greatness of time."
"Do you want to go out?"
Fang Yu smiled slightly, pointing in the distance, "The vortex door of this Secret Realm, I still found it."
Bai Qi was slightly startled.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Qi sighed again and said, "As you said, the outside world is rife with conflict. The Bai Clan has gone through too much conflict, and we don't want to continue to be mired... This way, it's better to let the younger generation of the Bai Family live here generation after generation, carefree and content."
His words made sense, but a trace of regret could be heard.
Fang Yu knew where this regret stemmed from.
This was a generation of Killing Gods, fearsome warriors on the battlefields, and letting someone born for the battlefield live a life of comfort could really drive them mad.
However...
That's probably fate.
Before long.
The two reached a secluded spot.
It was the place where Bai Xinxin had been caught before.
The vortex was still there, unchanged.
Bai Qi couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I didn't expect that you would also be skilled at finding the exit of the Secret Realm."
Fang Yu just smiled, saying nothing.
"Goodbye."
"Wait a second."
"Hmm?"
Fang Yu turned around to see Bai Qi digging something out.
Soon, Bai Qi took out a blue Crystal Stone from his chest and said, "This is a teleportation-type summoning Crystal Stone... In this Secret Realm, our clan often uses this Crystal Stone to summon our kin. Just give it a light toss, and a teleportation Array will appear."
"Ah?"
Fang Yu was surprised, taking the Crystal Stone and examining it closely.
In the middle of the Crystal Stone, myriad Runes naturally embedded themselves in the Crystal Stone.
This broadened Fang Yu's horizons.
"I didn't know such wondrous things existed in the world," Fang Yu exclaimed.
"I give this item to you... If you are in danger, just use this item, and I will come to help you. I just don't know if it can cross the Secret Realm. Furthermore, I know your strength is not far behind mine, so you might not need this. However, today I was on the verge of a breakthrough, breaking a millennium-long bottleneck... If we meet again, perhaps, you will have far surpassed me."
