Chapter 508: Zi Yan’s Plea for Help!
Hearing Gu He's explanation, Yun Yun's curiosity grew even stronger. At the same time, she was genuinely delighted by his new ability.
If this secret technique truly worked as he described, then traveling back and forth between Zhongzhou would become incredibly easy for them in the future.
"Husband, you’re amazing!" Yun Yun sincerely praised Gu He.
Gu He smiled at her compliment and then said, "Yun'er, let’s set off now!"
As he spoke, he gently swiped his hand in front of him. Immediately, a pitch-black spatial rift, about ten feet wide, appeared in midair.
Seeing the spatial rift form, Yun Yun nodded lightly.
They didn’t pack anything, leaving everything in the small courtyard as it was.
Once Yun Yun was ready, Gu He released a gentle energy to protect both mother and child before guiding them into the dark spatial rift.
…
By the time light once again filled Xiao Yuchen’s vision, their family of three had already descended onto the back of the Blackscale Frigid Python.
"Wow, we’re really in the sky!"
Seeing the clouds swirling all around them, Xiao Yuchen's eyes sparkled with excitement.
The next moment, she wriggled her little feet in Yun Yun’s arms and spoke in her soft, childish voice, "Mother, Mother, I want to get down!"
Yun Yun chuckled and shook her head before carefully placing Xiao Yuchen down.
The moment her tiny feet touched the Blackscale Frigid Python’s back, she immediately ran toward a drifting cloud nearby.
Seeing Xiao Yuchen running around so energetically, both Gu He and Yun Yun worried that she might accidentally fall. So, they set up a sealing barrier around the Python’s back, forming a soft, invisible protective layer.
This barrier served two purposes. One was to prevent the little girl from falling off, and the other was to shield her from the intense winds that would arise when the Blackscale Frigid Python flew at high speed—winds far too strong for a child like her to endure.
Xiao Yuchen continued chasing after clouds with her short, wobbly strides. Whenever one drifted too far, she quickly found another target and resumed her game.
After playing for a long time, she eventually reached the edge of the Blackscale Frigid Python’s back.
However, when she looked down, a strange sense of dizziness overwhelmed her. The moment she realized what was happening, she quickly backed away in alarm.
"Scary! Father! Mother!" Xiao Yuchen cried out and ran back toward Gu He and Yun Yun. Even though her young eyes couldn’t clearly see the ground below, the immense height still triggered a natural fear of heights in her.
Seeing the little girl wobbling her way back in fear, Gu He couldn’t help but tease her.
"Haha, Yuchen, weren’t you just saying that you wanted to fly? Why are you afraid now that you're actually in the sky?"
"Since that’s the case, maybe we shouldn’t live up here after all!" Gu He continued.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen’s frightened expression instantly disappeared, and she grinned.
"Hehe, Father, I’m not afraid anymore! Let’s stay up here!"
With that, she happily skipped toward the modern-style mansion Gu He had built on the Python’s back.
Since Han Yue had previously imitated some of Gu He’s architectural designs in her own courtyard, Xiao Yuchen wasn’t too surprised when she entered the mansion. Instead, she found the place somewhat familiar.
After wandering around for a while, Xiao Yuchen finally realized that this place was quite different from the Han family’s courtyard. Her curiosity was piqued, and she began to explore her surroundings with keen interest.
Inside the modern-style villa, Gu He withdrew his gaze from the playful Xiao Yuchen and turned to Yun Yun.
"Yun'er, we should set off now. In about two to three months, we’ll reach the Yunlan Sect!"
"Alright!" Yun Yun responded with a smile, her eyes filled with happiness.
The next moment, the massive body of the Blackscale Frigid Python finally began to move. Its enormous form swiftly soared through the sky, stirring up powerful gusts of wind. However, around its back, a nearly 30-foot-tall invisible barrier merged seamlessly with its body, blocking all the fierce gales from reaching them.
On the journey back to Yunlan Sect, Gu He would pause every ten thousand miles or so. Each time he stopped, he would set up a Gate of the Void in that location.
Time passed quickly as the family of three traveled together. In the blink of an eye, two months had already gone by.
During this period, the Blackscale Frigid Python had already left the northern region of Zhongzhou and gradually entered the Northwest Continent. They only needed to pass through a dozen or so countries before reaching the Jia Ma Empire.
One day, while Gu He was telling a story to Xiao Yuchen on the Python’s back, he suddenly sensed the activation of a Void Talisman.
"Husband, what’s wrong?" Noticing the change in Gu He’s expression, Yun Yun asked with concern.
Gu He didn’t hide anything and said directly, "Yun'er, the Void Talisman was crushed. I don’t know which little one is in trouble!"
"I see… Husband, quickly send your projection over to check!" Yun Yun urged without hesitation.
…
The Qi Huang Mountain Range was located in the central region of Zhongzhou. It spanned thousands of miles and was home to countless powerful magical beasts. It was even rumored that a few of the region’s overlords had reached the terrifying eighth rank.
Although these eighth-rank beasts were formidable, in a place like Zhongzhou, where powerful individuals were abundant, they did not dare to act recklessly. They simply guarded their own territories and generally avoided conflict with humans.
Apart from the presence of magical beasts, the Qi Huang Mountain Range was also known for its vast reserves of rare and valuable natural treasures.
At this moment, in a mist-covered forest in the central part of the mountain range, a young girl in white stood with puffed cheeks, glaring at an old man in white robes standing about ten meters away.
This white-clad girl was none other than Zi Yan, who had ventured into Zhongzhou for training. Thanks to her extraordinary ability to sense heavenly materials and earthly treasures, she had consumed an uncountable number of precious spiritual herbs and fruits in recent times.
Upon arriving at the Qi Huang Mountain Range, her talent for locating rare treasures had been further amplified. Every day, she would devour an enormous quantity of valuable herbs and fruits.
Perhaps because of Gu He’s previous advice, Zi Yan had been making an effort to refine the energy from the treasures she consumed. However, her rate of refinement simply couldn’t keep up with the speed at which she was eating. As a result, her meridians were once again filled with an overwhelming accumulation of unrefined medicinal energy.
Although her cultivation had only advanced to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Huang during this period, the strength of her physical body had increased tremendously.
