Chapter 570: A Way to Get to Other Worlds
The rest of the journey didn't seem so difficult.
Gu Heng led the two sisters into the dense forest, which belonged to the territory of the Dragon-Snake Beast. It was quiet and secluded, much better than the sandstorms of the Dragon-Scorpion Desert.
But this is actually a more dangerous place.
The quieter it is, the more it proves that the dragons, snakes, and monsters inside are definitely the type that, once they move, will feast on their prey – absolutely dangerous!
as predicted.
We had only been in the dense forest for less than half an hour.
Gu Heng had already slain seven or eight dragon-snake beasts. Though called beasts, they weren't much different from ordinary pythons, except their scales were clearly those of a dragon, not a snake. These dragon-snakes posed no threat. Gu Heng's eyes were sharp; even though the beasts hid in their surroundings, he still spotted them and slashed them down one by one, 999 each – how satisfying!
Getting stronger makes fighting so much more enjoyable!
Gu Heng was in high spirits.
However, the two sisters, Shutao and Shuying, were so moved that their hearts trembled.
This kind of dragon-snake beast is not easy to deal with at all!
They have been here for two days, and during these two days, they have been following the orders of Senior Sister Bai Feier to hunt these juvenile dragon-snake beasts.
Despite being in their juvenile stage, the scales on these dragon-snake beasts are as hard as metal, and their speed is as fast as a gale. They are already so powerful, yet they are still the sixth one, lurking in the shadows waiting to ambush people. If you don't make the first move and the dragon-snake beasts get the first strike, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be injured!
Shu Tao remembered that Senior Sister Bai Feier had suffered a similar loss. Therefore, the disciples of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect chose to band together, because without doing so, those of them who were slightly weaker would have no chance of achieving their goal of "collecting the Holy Dragon Blood"!
The test was naturally impossible to pass, and the consequences of failing were...
Shu Tao had heard that those "immortals" from the Xiaoxuan Heaven Realm were all cold-blooded and ruthless, treating human life as worthless.
To them.
If you fail the test, it probably means there's no point in living.
But with Gu Heng...
Whether it was because his blade was too sharp or because he was ridiculously strong, in front of him, these dragon-snake beasts could withstand the attacks of dozens of cultivators. Their dragon scales were as fragile as paper, easily cut off!
Is this the demeanor of a master?
I love it! Dragon-Snake Beast: If you don't love it, please don't hurt me!
If Shu Tao had previously worried that Gu Heng might not be able to protect them all the way and might even get himself killed, she no longer had that concern.
To even have such thoughts in one's mind is to look down on the reliable Fellow Daoist Gu!
Another hour passed.
Gu Heng stopped to rest by a stream.
He didn't need to rest, but the two sisters behind him did. They had been traveling in the desert for too long and had been chased by scorpions. Girls are always more delicate, and their faces had turned pale after just a short while.
"How are you two doing?"
Gu Heng asked.
"It's alright, it just took a lot of energy."
Shu Tao said a few words to Shu Ying, and then Shu Ying walked over and extended her hand to Gu Heng: "Fellow Daoist Gu... this is for you."
Ok?
Gu Heng was puzzled, but took the things that Shu Ying handed him.
There were a dozen or so small, blood-red crystalline stones. They were very small and had a faint smell of blood. Gu Heng was wondering what they were when Shu Ying took the initiative to tell him.
“This is the ‘holy dragon blood’ from those dragons and snakes we just collected… This is your share.”
"You need to collect forty of them to complete the test and then leave the Holy Dragon Cave."
Compared to her older sister, Shuying was even more timid. She spoke like a little animal, not daring to speak too loudly. Even though they were so close, Gu Heng almost didn't hear her voice and thought it was just a mosquito buzzing.
But so this is what the Holy Dragon Blood looks like.
Gu Heng weighed the Holy Dragon Blood in his hand, and a new doubt arose. He asked, "Do you know what reward we will receive if we complete the test?"
"Eh?"
"Oh dear, everyone says I was conscripted here. I was just having a nice meal when a bunch of soldiers 'robbed' me. I don't know a lot of things now."
He was still quite confused, only knowing some fragmented information, but more, such as what would happen after passing the test, Gu Heng didn't know.
After all, he really was eating in a restaurant at the time.
They pulled me directly onto the boat and then brought me here.
I was basically in a daze the whole time.
"Oh, I see..."
Shuying then recounted the story in detail, without hiding anything, telling everything she knew. Basically, she'd heard that the Demon Realm would occasionally descend and cause trouble, and now the immortals were planning to select talented individuals from the Xuan Tian Realm—the top talents who could grow rapidly and become stronger in a short period!
The selection method involves sending them into the Sacred Dragon Cave.
If someone can pass the test, then they are a promising talent who can be nurtured.
then……
Send them to the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm!
"...That's about it. The sect leader told us that although those immortals' goals are certainly not that simple, and they are unlikely to be so generous, the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect cannot refuse."
"So if we're going to do it, we have to do it to the best of our ability, and we also have to make sure that everyone can leave here alive."
Shuying spoke softly, explaining in great detail, seemingly afraid that her older brother, who was clearly very strong but knew nothing, would remain ignorant. Gu Heng thought she was truly a kind and understanding younger sister.
But he also learned something even more exciting.
You can go to that Lesser Mystic Realm!
Hey, here comes the opportunity!
Go to another world that's like a fairyland and broaden your horizons!
While he was lying in the desolate city, he thought about how to go to other worlds to see their feng shui and customs, but he had no way and no strength to do so.
but now.
He has the ability now, though we don't know exactly how much.
We have a solution!
Collect enough Holy Dragon Blood here, complete the test, and then you can be sent to the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm.
If Gu Heng didn't seize this opportunity, he felt there was little chance he would encounter it again.
"Alright, alright, don't worry, we'll definitely get enough of this Holy Dragon Blood!"
Gu Heng began sharpening his knife again, aiming it at the dragon and snake.
……
In the shadows to the side.
A dragon-snake coiled on a tree, silently watching the stream, its eyes revealing a glint of shrewdness no less than its own.
"This guy, in every way, seems like a greenhorn just starting out?"
The Dragon Emperor tilted his head, looking quite puzzled...
