Chapter 679: The Spatial Passage

Two days passed quietly. Although Xiao Yufan had remained by Cheng Ying’s side the entire time, he couldn’t help but sense a faintly unusual aura. With the opening of the passage drawing near, the entire city of Changnan had become even more bustling.

Two days passed quietly. Although Xiao Yufan had been by Cheng Ying’s side the entire time, he couldn’t help but sense an unusual atmosphere. As the day of the channel’s opening approached, the entire Changnan City became even more bustling.

“Even if Ying’er doesn’t secure a spot in the top ten of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, she should still be able to enter the mysterious land of the South Sea!”

Every guardian temple would send their young talents through the channel to the mysterious land of the South Sea. In other words, that enigmatic space would become a gathering place for the young elites of the entire Huaxia.

“As long as one can join the ranks of the guardian temples, they can send their young talents to that mysterious land. However, there is more than one channel leading to the mysterious land. If you want to be transported to the same place, you must be in the same faction.”

With a gentle smile curving her alluring lips, Cheng Ying nodded and smiled.

Once again moved by this girl, Xiao Yufan’s gaze softened even more. He knew that Ying’er was doing this to stay by his side!

It seemed that this time, each channel would lead to a different place, and the mysterious veil of the South Sea’s enigmatic land would gradually be lifted. What secrets lay hidden in the remnants of the previous Ancient Martial Era?

Finally, on the morning of the third day, the top ten experts of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were once again summoned by the Ning Temple Master of the Eastern Earth Temple. Clearly, the channel to the mysterious land was about to open!

“As the top young talents of your generation, your mission is to explore the entire mysterious land of the South Sea. Opportunities are determined by fate, and I hope you all can gain something. Remember, do not force anything!”

The Ning Temple Master’s expression was grave. The top ten experts of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were no less formidable than the young talents of any guardian temple. If anything were to happen to these individuals in the mysterious land of the South Sea, it would be a significant loss to the entire Ancient Martial World.

“Understood!” Including Xiao Yufan and Cheng Ying, all ten responded solemnly. The Ning Temple Master, as the leader of a guardian temple, appeared very benevolent, earning the respect and goodwill of everyone present.

As his words fell, the Ning Temple Master’s immense aura surged forth. Just as Xiao Yufan and the others were about to resist, their bodies were enveloped by a gentle current of energy.

It seemed the Ning Temple Master had also considered that the impact of such an aura would have a significant effect on these young individuals. Though it was just a subtle gesture, it was enough to show that this temple master had a compassionate heart.

“In a moment, I will forcefully open a channel to the mysterious land. Close your eyes, focus your minds, and do not let any disturbances occur. If you are swept away by the spatial currents to another place, don’t blame anyone else!”

With a low shout, the Ning Temple Master frowned. Although he had the strength to forcibly open a spatial channel, it would take a considerable toll on him. Moreover, he had to maintain the stability of the channel, and beads of sweat began to roll down his forehead.

Hearing this, Xiao Yufan immediately focused his mind and slowly closed his eyes. Forcibly opening a spatial channel—such a grand feat was likely only possible for those who had reached the Transcendent Realm or higher.

Seeing that everyone had closed their eyes, the aura surrounding the Ning Temple Master erupted once again, and a spatial rift began to wriggle open like a worm!

A powerful suction force instantly pulled the ten individuals into the spatial channel, and then they vanished as if nothing had happened. However, the Ning Temple Master did not withdraw his aura, as he still needed to stabilize the channel until the ten safely entered the mysterious land.

The sound of wind in their ears never ceased. Even with Xiao Yufan’s innate realm strength, he felt a sense of trepidation. If he were to be swept into this spatial vortex by accident, there would be no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm gradually warmed from its initial coldness. Cheng Ying’s entire body leaned almost entirely against Xiao Yufan, causing his thoughts to wander. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything inappropriate.

However, as he caught a whiff of Ying’er’s faint body scent, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but take a deep, satisfying breath, almost getting distracted by the rushing wind in his ears!

It wasn’t until Xiao Yufan felt the surrounding currents gradually stabilize that he opened his eyes. But when he saw the scene before him, his heart trembled violently.

Only a five-meter radius around them was clearly visible. Beyond that, everything was shrouded in darkness, as if a mist filled the void, creating a faint path wherever they passed.

This was the first time Xiao Yufan had witnessed the power of a guardian temple master in action. It was truly earth-shattering, forcibly opening a channel. The thought alone was awe-inspiring, and the speed was incredibly fast. He had no idea where this channel would take them.

As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotional fluctuations, Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes slowly opened a crack, and her lively gaze met Xiao Yufan’s.

Compared to Xiao Yufan’s astonishment, Cheng Ying appeared very calm, which left Xiao Yufan somewhat speechless. It seemed this girl had seen much of the world, making him feel rather ignorant.

“The hidden Ancient Martial World is home to many super experts. Their strength is no less than that of the previous Ancient Martial Era. What you’re seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg, and I believe that one day, you too will stand at that height!”

Cheng Ying, of course, knew what Xiao Yufan was thinking. She chuckled softly, seemingly unbothered by their current situation.

“Even if it’s just for our Ying’er, I will definitely strive to become stronger. A mere Qingling Temple won’t stand in our way…”

Though he felt a bit helpless, Xiao Yufan also felt a sense of pride. No matter how outstanding this woman was, she was still his!

Without saying anything more, a trace of bitterness flashed across Cheng Ying’s lips, but she quickly concealed it. Since she had decided to spend this time with him, she didn’t want to think about anything else.

As the two spoke, the others also regained their senses. When they opened their eyes, they were all somewhat surprised. Just transporting them to the mysterious land required such a grand display—there must be something truly exciting in that enigmatic space.

Almost everyone’s face showed a hint of excitement. For each of them, strength was the most important thing. Only by standing at the pinnacle could they enjoy the admiration of all.

The mysterious land of the South Sea—they had finally arrived…

Two days passed quietly. Although Xiao Yufan had been by Cheng Ying’s side the entire time, he sensed an unusual atmosphere. As the day of the channel’s opening approached, the entire city of Changnan became even more bustling.

A soft smile curved Cheng Ying’s alluring lips as she nodded and chuckled.

Once again moved by this girl, Xiao Yufan’s gaze grew even gentler. He knew that Ying’er was doing this to stay by his side!

It seemed that this time, each channel would lead to a different location, and the mysterious veil of the South Sea’s enigmatic land would gradually be lifted. What secrets were hidden within the relics of the previous Ancient Martial Arts era?

Finally, on the morning of the third day, the top ten experts of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were once again summoned by the Ning Temple Master of the Eastern Earth Temple. Clearly, the channel to the mysterious land was about to open!

“As the top young talents of your generation, your mission is to explore the entire mysterious land of the South Sea. Opportunities are determined by fate, and I hope you all gain something. Remember, do not force anything!”

The Ning Temple Master’s expression was grave. The top ten experts of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were on par with the young elites of any guardian temple. If anything were to happen to these individuals in the mysterious land of the South Sea, it would be a significant loss to the entire Ancient Martial Arts world.

“Understood!” Including Xiao Yufan and Cheng Ying, all ten responded solemnly. The Ning Temple Master, as the leader of a guardian temple, appeared very benevolent, earning the respect and goodwill of everyone present.

As his words fell, the Ning Temple Master’s immense aura surged forth. Just as Xiao Yufan and the others prepared to resist, their bodies were enveloped by a gentle current of air.

It seemed the Ning Temple Master had anticipated that the impact of his aura would affect these young individuals. Although it was a subtle gesture, it was clear that this temple master had a compassionate heart.

“Later, I will forcefully open a channel to the mysterious land. Close your eyes, focus your minds, and do not let any disturbances occur. If you are swept away by the spatial currents to another place, don’t blame anyone else!”

With a deep shout, the Ning Temple Master furrowed his brow. Although his strength allowed him to forcibly open a spatial channel, it would still take a considerable toll on him. Moreover, he had to maintain the stability of the space, and beads of sweat began to roll down his forehead.

A powerful suction force instantly pulled the ten individuals into the spatial channel, and they vanished as if nothing had happened. However, the Ning Temple Master did not withdraw his aura, as he still needed to stabilize the channel until the ten safely arrived in the mysterious land.

The sound of wind in their ears was incessant. Even with Xiao Yufan’s innate realm strength, he felt a sense of trepidation. If he were to be swept into this spatial vortex by even the slightest mistake, there would be no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm gradually warmed from its initial coldness. Cheng Ying’s entire body leaned almost entirely against Xiao Yufan, causing his thoughts to wander. Fortunately, he didn’t make any inappropriate moves.

However, catching a whiff of Ying’er’s faint body fragrance, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, nearly affected by the rushing wind in his ears!

Only when Xiao Yufan felt the surrounding air currents gradually stabilize did he open his eyes. But when he saw the scene before him, his heart trembled violently.

Only a five-meter radius around them was clearly visible. Everything else was shrouded in darkness, with the black void resembling a mist that parted slightly as they passed through, leaving a faint trail.

This was the first time Xiao Yufan had witnessed the power of a guardian temple master in action. The ability to forcibly open a channel was truly awe-inspiring, and the speed was so fast that he had no idea where the channel would take them.

As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotional fluctuations, Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes slowly opened a crack, and her lively gaze met his.

“The hidden Ancient Martial Arts world is home to many super experts. Their strength is on par with those from the previous Ancient Martial Arts era. What Brother Fan is seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe that one day, you too will stand at that height!”

Cheng Ying, of course, knew what Xiao Yufan was thinking. She chuckled softly, seemingly unperturbed by their current situation.

“Even if it’s just for our Ying’er, I will strive to become stronger. The Qingling Temple won’t be an obstacle between us…”

Though he felt somewhat helpless, Xiao Yufan also felt a sense of pride. No matter how outstanding this woman was, she was still his!

Without saying anything more, a hint of bitterness flashed across Cheng Ying’s lips, but she quickly concealed it. Since she had decided to spend this time with him, she didn’t want to think about other matters.

As the two spoke, the others also regained their senses. When they opened their eyes, they were all somewhat surprised. Just transporting them to the mysterious land required such a grand display. That enigmatic space must hold something truly exciting for them.

Almost everyone’s face showed a hint of excitement. For each of them, strength was the most important thing. Only by standing at the peak could they enjoy the admiration of all.

The mysterious land of the South Sea—they had finally arrived…

“As long as one manages to join the ranks of the guardian shrines, they can dispatch young experts to this mysterious place. However, there are multiple passages to this mysterious region. If you wish to arrive at the same destination, you must belong to the same faction.”

Cheng Ying smiled gently, her luscious lips curving into a soft, graceful smile as she nodded in agreement.

Once again moved by this girl’s thoughtfulness, Xiao Yufan’s gaze softened even further. He knew exactly why she had done this—she wanted to stay by his side no matter what!

Two days passed quietly. Although Xiao Yufan had been by Cheng Ying’s side the entire time, he couldn’t help but sense an unusual atmosphere. As the day of the channel’s opening approached, the entire city of Changnan became even more bustling.

“Even if Ying’er doesn’t secure a spot in the top ten of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, she should still be able to enter the mysterious realm of the South Sea!”

Once again moved by this girl, Xiao Yufan’s gaze softened even more. He knew that Ying’er was doing this just to stay by his side!

It seemed that this time, each channel would lead to a different place, and the mysterious veil of the South Sea’s realm would gradually be lifted. What secrets lay hidden in the remnants of the previous Ancient Martial Era?

Finally, on the morning of the third day, the top ten elite of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were once again summoned by the Ning Hall Master of the Eastern Earth Temple. Clearly, the channel to the mysterious realm was about to open!

“As the top elite of the younger generation, your mission is to explore the entire mysterious realm of the South Sea. Opportunities are determined by fate. I hope you all can gain something. Remember, do not force anything!”

The Ning Hall Master’s expression was grave. The top ten elite of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were no less formidable than the young elite of any guardian temple. If anything were to happen to them in the mysterious realm of the South Sea, it would be a significant loss to the entire Ancient Martial World.

“Understood!” Including Xiao Yufan and Cheng Ying, the ten of them responded in unison. As the hall master of a guardian temple, Ning Hall Master appeared very benevolent, earning the goodwill of everyone present.

As his words fell, a vast and imposing aura surged from the Ning Hall Master. Just as Xiao Yufan and the others were about to resist, their bodies were enveloped by a gentle current of air.

It seemed the Ning Hall Master had also considered that the impact of such an aura would have a significant effect on these young people. Though it was just a subtle gesture, one could still sense that this hall master had a compassionate heart.

“In a moment, I will forcibly open a channel to the mysterious realm. Close your eyes, steady your minds, and do not let any chaos arise. If you are swept away by the spatial currents to another place, don’t blame anyone else!”

With a low shout, the Ning Hall Master furrowed his brows. Although he had the strength to forcibly open a spatial channel, it would take a considerable toll on him. Moreover, he had to maintain the stability of the space, and sweat began to trickle down his forehead.

Hearing this, Xiao Yufan immediately steadied his mind and slowly closed his eyes. Forcibly opening a spatial channel—such a grand feat was likely only possible for those who had reached the Transcendent Realm or higher.

Seeing that everyone had closed their eyes, the aura surrounding the Ning Hall Master erupted once more, and a spatial rift began to wriggle open like a worm!

A powerful pulling force instantly sucked the ten of them into the spatial channel, and then they vanished as if nothing had happened. However, the Ning Hall Master did not withdraw his aura, as he still needed to stabilize the channel until the ten of them safely entered the mysterious realm.

The sound of wind in their ears never ceased. Even with Xiao Yufan’s innate realm strength, he felt a pang of unease. If he were to be carelessly swept into this spatial vortex, there would be no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm gradually warmed from its initial coldness. Cheng Ying’s entire body leaned almost entirely against Xiao Yufan, causing his thoughts to wander. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything out of line.

However, catching a whiff of Ying’er’s faint body fragrance, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but take a deep, satisfying breath, nearly losing focus due to the rushing wind in his ears!

It wasn’t until Xiao Yufan felt the surrounding air currents gradually stabilize that he opened his eyes. But when he saw the scene before him, his heart trembled violently.

Only a five-meter radius around them was clearly visible. Beyond that, everything was shrouded in darkness, as if a fog existed in the black void, parting a faint path wherever they passed.

This was the first time Xiao Yufan had witnessed the power of a guardian temple hall master in action. It was truly earth-shaking, forcibly opening a channel. Just thinking about it was awe-inspiring, and the speed was so fast that he had no idea where this channel would take them.

As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotional fluctuations, Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes slowly opened a crack, and her lively gaze met Xiao Yufan’s.

Compared to Xiao Yufan’s astonishment, Cheng Ying appeared remarkably calm, which left Xiao Yufan somewhat speechless. It seemed this girl had seen her fair share of the world, making him feel rather ignorant.

“The hidden Ancient Martial World is home to many super-strong individuals. Their strength is no less than those from the previous Ancient Martial Era. What Brother Fan is seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe that one day, you too will stand at that height!”

Cheng Ying, of course, knew what Xiao Yufan was thinking. She chuckled softly, seemingly unbothered by their current predicament.

“Even if it’s just for our Ying’er, I will definitely strive to become stronger. A mere Qingling Temple won’t stand in our way…”

The mysterious realm of the South Sea—they had finally arrived…

Finally, on the morning of the third day, the top ten experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were once again summoned by Master Ning of the Eastern Shrine. Clearly, the passage to the mysterious region was about to open.

Two days passed quietly. Although Xiao Yufan had been by Cheng Ying’s side the entire time, he sensed an unusual atmosphere. As the day of the channel’s opening approached, the entire Changnan City became even more bustling.

“Even if Ying’er didn’t secure a spot in the top ten of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, she could still enter the mysterious land of the South Sea!”

With a soft smile curling her lips, Cheng Ying nodded and laughed.

Once again moved by this girl, Xiao Yufan’s gaze grew even softer. He knew that Ying’er was doing this to stay by his side!

It seemed that this time, each channel would lead to a different place, and the mysterious veil of the South Sea’s mysterious land would gradually be lifted. What secrets were hidden in the relics left from the previous era of ancient martial arts?

Finally, on the morning of the third day, the top ten experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were summoned once again by the East Earth Temple’s Master Ning. Clearly, the channel to the mysterious land was about to open!

“As the top young experts of your generation, your mission is to explore the entire mysterious land of the South Sea. Opportunities are determined by fate. I hope you all can gain something. Remember, do not force anything!”

Master Ning’s expression was grave. The top ten experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were no less formidable than the young experts from any of the guardian temples.

As his words fell, a vast aura surged from Master Ning’s body. Just as Xiao Yufan and the others were about to resist, they were enveloped by a gentle current of air.

Master Ning had clearly considered that the impact of such an aura would have a significant effect on these young people. Although it was just a subtle action, it was evident that this temple master had a kind heart.

“Later, I will forcibly open a channel to the mysterious land. Close your eyes, guard your minds, and do not let any chaos arise. If you are swept away by the spatial currents to another place, don’t blame anyone else!”

With a deep shout, Master Ning frowned. Although his strength allowed him to forcibly open a spatial channel, it would still take a considerable toll on him. Moreover, he had to maintain the stability of the space, and sweat began to stream down his face.

Hearing this, Xiao Yufan immediately focused his mind and slowly closed his eyes. Forcibly opening a spatial channel was a great divine ability, likely only possessed by those who had reached the realm of spiritual communication or higher.

Seeing that everyone had closed their eyes, the aura surrounding Master Ning erupted once again, and a spatial rift began to wriggle open like a worm!

A powerful suction force instantly pulled the ten into the spatial channel, and they disappeared as if nothing had happened. However, Master Ning did not retract his aura, as he still needed to stabilize the channel until the ten safely entered the mysterious land.

The sound of wind in their ears never ceased. Even with Xiao Yufan’s innate realm strength, he felt a sense of trepidation. If one were to be carelessly swept into this spatial vortex, there would be no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm gradually warmed from its initial coldness. Cheng Ying’s entire body leaned almost entirely against Xiao Yufan, causing a stir in his heart. Fortunately, he did not make any inappropriate moves.

However, catching a whiff of Ying’er’s faint body fragrance, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, almost being affected by the fierce wind in his ears!

Only when Xiao Yufan felt the surrounding air currents gradually stabilize did he open his eyes. But when he saw the scene before him, his heart trembled violently.

Though he felt somewhat helpless, Xiao Yufan also felt a sense of pride. No matter how outstanding this woman was, she was still his woman!

Hearing this, Xiao Yufan immediately focused his mind and slowly closed his eyes. Forcibly opening a spatial channel—such a great divine ability could only be possessed by those who had stepped into the realm of spiritual enlightenment.

Seeing that everyone had closed their eyes, the aura surrounding Temple Master Ning erupted once again, and a spatial rift began to wriggle open like a worm!

A powerful suction force instantly pulled the ten people into the spatial channel, and then they vanished as if nothing had happened. However, Temple Master Ning did not withdraw his aura, as he still needed to stabilize the channel until the ten safely entered the mysterious land.

The sound of wind in their ears never ceased. Even with Xiao Yufan’s innate realm strength, he felt a sense of unease. If he were to be swept into this spatial vortex by mistake, there would be no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm gradually warmed from its initial coldness. Cheng Ying’s entire body leaned almost entirely against Xiao Yufan, causing his heart to race. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything inappropriate.

But as he caught a whiff of Ying’er’s faint body fragrance, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but take a deep, satisfying breath, almost affected by the fierce wind in his ears!

It wasn’t until Xiao Yufan felt the surrounding air currents gradually stabilize that he opened his eyes. However, when he saw the scene before him, his heart trembled violently.

Moreover, the speed was incredibly fast, and he had no idea where this channel would take them.

As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotional fluctuations, Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes slowly opened a slit, and her lively gaze met Xiao Yufan’s.

Compared to Xiao Yufan’s astonishment, Cheng Ying appeared very calm, which left Xiao Yufan somewhat speechless. It seemed this girl had seen the world, making him feel rather ignorant.

“The hidden ancient martial arts world is home to many super experts. Their strength is no less than that of the previous era of ancient martial arts. What you’ve seen now is just the tip of the iceberg, and I believe that one day, you too will stand at that height!”

Cheng Ying couldn’t possibly not know what Xiao Yufan was thinking. She chuckled softly, seemingly unbothered by their current situation.

“Even if it’s just for our Ying’er, I will definitely strive to become stronger. A mere Qingling Temple won’t stand in our way…”

Though he felt somewhat helpless, Xiao Yufan also felt a sense of pride. No matter how outstanding this woman was, she was still his!

Without saying anything more, a hint of bitterness flashed across Cheng Ying’s lips, but she quickly concealed it. Since she had decided to spend this time with him, she naturally didn’t want to think about other things.

Almost everyone’s face showed a hint of excitement. For each of them, strength was the most important thing. Only by standing at the peak could they enjoy the admiration of all.

The mysterious land of the South Sea—they had finally arrived…

“We understand!” Including Xiao Yufan and Cheng Ying, all ten responded solemnly. As the head of a guardian shrine, Master Ning appeared unusually kind and approachable, earning him genuine admiration from everyone present.

As his voice faded, a mighty surge of power erupted from Master Ning. Just as Xiao Yufan and the others were about to resist instinctively, they were enveloped by a gentle current of energy.

It seemed Master Ning had anticipated the impact his aura might have on these young people. Though it was only a subtle gesture, it clearly showed that this master possessed a truly compassionate heart.

“In a moment, I will forcefully open a passage to the mysterious region. Close your eyes and keep your minds steady—don’t let anything go wrong. If you get swept away by spatial currents to some unknown place, don’t blame anyone else!”

With a deep grunt, Master Ning furrowed his brows. Though his strength was sufficient to tear open a spatial passage, it still drained him significantly. Moreover, he had to maintain the stability of the passage itself, and sweat began to roll down his face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yufan immediately calmed his mind and slowly shut his eyes. Forcibly opening a spatial passage—such a mighty feat could probably only be accomplished by experts who had reached or surpassed the Spiritual Awakening realm.

Seeing everyone close their eyes, the aura surrounding Master Ning surged once more, and a spatial rift slowly slithered open like a crawling insect!

A powerful suction force instantly pulled all ten people into the spatial passage before vanishing as mysteriously as it had appeared. Master Ning, however, did not withdraw his energy yet—he still had to stabilize the passage until all ten had safely entered the mysterious region.

The roaring wind in their ears never ceased. Even with Xiao Yufan’s Cultivation at the Innate Realm, he still felt a trace of unease. One misstep and he could be swallowed by this spatial vortex, leaving no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm slowly warmed from icy cold to a gentle warmth. Cheng Ying leaned her entire body against Xiao Yufan, causing his heart to flutter slightly. Fortunately, he managed to keep himself composed without making any inappropriate moves.

Inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from Cheng Ying’s body, Xiao Yufan felt a surge of contentment, nearly losing focus due to the fierce wind around him!

Only when Xiao Yufan sensed the surrounding air currents gradually stabilizing did he open his eyes. However, the sight before him sent a tremor through his heart.

Only a five-meter radius around them was clearly visible; everything else was shrouded in a hazy darkness, like a mist-filled void. Their movement through the space left behind faint trails like ripples in the dark.

This was the first time Xiao Yufan had witnessed a guardian shrine master unleashing such power, creating a passage with sheer might. The sight was awe-inspiring, and he couldn’t even guess where this passage would ultimately lead.

As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotions, Cheng Ying slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful gaze met his with a gentle spark.

Compared to Xiao Yufan’s astonishment, Cheng Ying remained surprisingly calm, which left him slightly speechless. It seemed this girl had seen so much more than he had—why did he suddenly feel so inexperienced?

“There are many supreme experts hidden within the ancient martial world, and their strength rivals those from the last era of ancient martial arts. What you’ve seen today is merely the tip of the iceberg. I believe that one day, you will stand at that height too!”

Cheng Ying could easily read Xiao Yufan’s thoughts. With a soft smile, she spoke reassuringly, showing no signs of worry despite their current situation.

“Even if it’s just for my Ying’er, I will strive to become stronger. A mere Qingling Sect won’t be able to come between us…”

Though slightly exasperated, Xiao Yufan also felt a surge of pride in his heart. No matter how extraordinary this woman was, she was still his woman!

Saying nothing more, Cheng Ying’s lips curved into a fleeting bitter smile, though she quickly masked it. Since she had decided to accompany him for this journey, she had no intention of letting other thoughts interfere.

As the two conversed, the others gradually regained their senses. Upon opening their eyes, they all showed signs of surprise. If such a grand display of power was merely to transport them to this mysterious place, then this hidden space must surely contain something truly exciting.

Almost everyone’s face lit up with excitement. For each of them, power was the most important thing. Only by reaching the peak could one bask in the admiration of all.

Two days passed quietly. Although Xiao Yufan had been by Cheng Ying’s side the entire time, he couldn’t help but sense an unusual atmosphere. As the day of the passage’s opening approached, the entire city of Changnan became even more bustling.

“Even if Ying’er didn’t secure a spot in the top ten of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, she would still be able to enter the mysterious realm of the South Sea!”

Every guardian temple would send their young elite through the passage to the mysterious realm of the South Sea. In other words, that enigmatic space would become the gathering place for the young elite of the entire Huaxia.

“As long as one can join the ranks of the guardian temples, they can send their young elite to that mysterious realm. However, there is more than one passage to the mysterious realm. If one wishes to be transported to the same place, they must be in the same faction.”

A soft smile curved Cheng Ying’s alluring lips as she nodded and chuckled.

Once again moved by this girl, Xiao Yufan’s gaze grew even gentler. He knew that Ying’er was doing all this just to stay by his side!

It seemed that this time, each passage would lead to different locations, and the mysterious veil of the South Sea’s realm would gradually be lifted. What secrets lay hidden within the remnants of the previous Ancient Martial era?

Finally, on the morning of the third day, the top ten experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were once again summoned by the Temple Master Ning of the Eastern Earth Temple. Clearly, the passage to the mysterious realm was about to open!

“As the top young elite, your mission is to explore the entire mysterious realm of the South Sea. Opportunities are determined by fate, and I hope you all can gain something. Remember, do not force anything!”

Temple Master Ning’s expression was grave. The top ten experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament were on par with the young elite of any guardian temple. If anything were to happen to these individuals in the mysterious realm of the South Sea, it would be a significant loss to the entire Ancient Martial world.

“Understood!” Including Xiao Yufan and Cheng Ying, all ten responded in a deep voice. Temple Master Ning, as the leader of a guardian temple, appeared very benevolent, earning the respect and goodwill of everyone present.

As his words fell, a vast and imposing aura surged from Temple Master Ning. Just as Xiao Yufan and the others were about to resist, their bodies were enveloped by a gentle flow of energy.

It seemed Temple Master Ning had also considered that the impact of such an aura would have a significant effect on these young individuals. Although it was just a subtle gesture, it was enough to show that this temple master had a kind heart.

“In a moment, I will forcefully open a passage to the mysterious realm. Close your eyes, guard your minds, and do not let anything go wrong. If you are swept away by the spatial currents to another place, don’t blame anyone else!”

With a low shout, Temple Master Ning frowned. Although he had the strength to forcibly open a spatial passage, it would take a considerable toll on him. Moreover, he had to maintain the stability of the passage, and sweat began to stream down his face.

Hearing this, Xiao Yufan immediately focused his mind and slowly closed his eyes. Forcibly opening a spatial passage was a feat that only those who had reached the Transcendent Realm or above could achieve.

Seeing that everyone had closed their eyes, the aura surrounding Temple Master Ning erupted once more, and a spatial rift began to wriggle open like a worm!

A powerful pulling force instantly sucked the ten individuals into the spatial passage, and they vanished as if nothing had happened. However, Temple Master Ning did not withdraw his aura, as he still needed to stabilize the passage until the ten safely entered the mysterious realm.

The sound of wind in their ears never ceased. Even with Xiao Yufan’s innate realm strength, he felt a slight palpitation. If he were to be swept into this spatial vortex by mistake, there would be no chance of survival.

The small hand in his palm gradually warmed from its initial coldness. Cheng Ying’s entire body leaned almost entirely against Xiao Yufan, causing his heart to race. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything inappropriate.

However, as he caught a whiff of the faint fragrance from Ying’er, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, almost being affected by the strong wind in his ears!

It wasn’t until Xiao Yufan felt the surrounding airflow gradually stabilize that he opened his eyes. But when he saw the scene before him, his heart trembled violently.

Only the area within five meters around them was clearly visible. Everything else was shrouded in darkness, with the blackness resembling a mist that parted to form a faint passage wherever they went.

This was the first time Xiao Yufan had witnessed the power of a guardian temple master in action. The ability to forcibly open a passage was truly awe-inspiring, and the speed was so fast that he had no idea where this passage would take them.

As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotional fluctuations, Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes slowly opened a crack, and her lively gaze met Xiao Yufan’s.

Compared to Xiao Yufan’s astonishment, Cheng Ying appeared very calm, which left Xiao Yufan somewhat speechless. It seemed this girl had seen much of the world, making him feel rather ignorant.

“The hidden Ancient Martial world is home to many super experts, whose strength is on par with those from the previous Ancient Martial era. What you’re seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg, and I believe that one day, you too will stand at that height!”

Cheng Ying couldn’t possibly not know what Xiao Yufan was thinking. She chuckled softly, seemingly unbothered by their current predicament.

“Even if it’s just for our Ying’er, I will definitely strive to become stronger. The Green Spirit Temple won’t be an obstacle between us…”

Though he felt somewhat helpless, Xiao Yufan also felt a sense of pride. No matter how outstanding this woman was, she was still his!

Without saying anything more, a trace of bitterness flashed across Cheng Ying’s lips, but she quickly masked it. Since she had decided to spend this time with him, she didn’t want to think about anything else.

As the two spoke, the others also regained their senses. When they opened their eyes, they were all somewhat surprised. Just transporting them to the mysterious realm required such a grand display, indicating that the mysterious space must hold something exciting for them.

Almost everyone’s face showed a hint of excitement. For each of them, strength was the most important thing. Only by standing at the pinnacle could they enjoy the admiration of all.

The mysterious realm of the South Sea—they had finally arrived…
