Mistaken Entry into the Secret Realm

A few days later.

"Hmm... wait a moment..."

As the three of them walked along, they suddenly realized something important.

Guang Ling looked at Cen Yu awkwardly: "Uh... do you know where the Clear Sky Sect is?"

Hearing this, Cen Yu looked at the two of them in disbelief: "You don't know where the Clear Sky Sect is?"

Although he had read the original work, he couldn't possibly deduce the location of the Clear Sky Sect just from a few words, could he?

Azure Luan and Guang Ling exchanged glances and shook their heads as well.

"After the Clear Sky Sect relocated and went into seclusion, we haven't been back, but... Gui Mei and Yue Guan should know."

"..."

Cen Yu sighed: "Fine, it seems we won't be collecting any debts from the Clear Sky Sect today. Let's head back and find Yue Guan and the others first."

Once they reached a consensus, the three of them immediately turned around, intending to head back the way they came.

Just then, Cen Yu looked to the side in confusion: "Eh? What is this?"

Guang Ling and the other turned to look, only to see a stone tablet erected on a small mound by the side of the road.

At first glance, it looked like a grave, but if one paid a little attention, they could discover that there was an inexplicable energy present within the tombstone.

Azure Luan looked at the ancient characters on the tombstone, identified them carefully for a while, and then asked the two people beside him: "Do you recognize these characters?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that asking this was redundant.

It went without saying that Cen Yu was inexperienced, and Guang Ling didn't like reading books at all.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Guang Ling scratched his head awkwardly: "Third Brother, you know, I..."

"Found it!"

Just then, Cen Yu rummaged through his storage space for a long time and hauled out a large cube, placing it on the grass.

The two asked in confusion: "What is this?"

The Great Elder and the Pope really doted on this kid; this was something even they had never seen before.

Cen Yu pressed a sphere on top of the cube and began tapping on a smaller square.

In an instant, a blue light shot out from the cube, illuminating the stone tablet.

"I made this a while ago while reading in the library. It contains all the books and historical records of the entire Martial Soul Hall."

"For ancient characters like these, there should be records of them within the Martial Soul Hall."

Come to think of it, he hadn't expected that building a computer in the Douluo world would be so easy.

Having soul power was great; for chips that required lithography machines to manufacture on Earth, he only needed to select the appropriate materials and craft them by hand.

Hearing this, Guang Ling asked in surprise: "Little Yu, you have this skill? You can even build a Soul Tool?"

Tsk... how come he didn't know so much when he was this age? Could this kid really be a genius?

"Ding-dong--"

Soon, accompanied by a prompt sound, a few lines of text appeared on the screen.

Cen Yu stared at the words on the screen in a daze, then looked at the tombstone in disbelief.

Damn, what is going on? The original work didn't mention this, did it?

Seeing Cen Yu's expression, the two looked at the words on the screen in confusion: "What..."

"What?!"

"Is this thing broken or inaccurate?"

What did it mean that these were characters from about fifteen thousand years ago?

The resting place of the Nine-Colored Sky Fox? What was this?

After a brief shock, Cen Yu put the computer away and began to examine the tombstone.

"The resting place of the Nine-Colored Sky Fox? If we calculate based on the characters, could this tombstone be over ten thousand years old?"

"But that doesn't make sense... after ten thousand years, wouldn't the tombstone have weathered away?"

Wait... according to the usual script of novels, shouldn't he be touching this thing right about now?

Thinking this, Cen Yu immediately reached out to touch the tombstone.

Seeing this, Azure Luan hurriedly shouted: "Wait! This thing--"

"BOOM--!!!"

"Hey, wait--!"

The moment his hand touched the tombstone, terrifying energy erupted from within it.

Then, in an instant, a massive vortex appeared, sucking in the three of them before they could react.

"Hiss... that hurts..."

Cen Yu clutched his bruised backside, looking around this completely unfamiliar place with a bewildered expression.

"Where is this..."

Holy crap, so those novel tropes are actually real? Is this some kind of secret realm?

No, that can't be right. Since when does the Douluo Continent have secret realms?

Besides, this place is way too huge. Even Azure Luan and Guang Ling are nowhere to be seen.

Just then, a sensation that made his scalp tingle surged through Cen Yu's body.

He turned his head instinctively, only to behold an existence that left him in disbelief.

"This..."

It was a White Fox with nine tails.

Under Cen Yu's stunned gaze, those nine fluffy fox tails swayed gently.

The next second, nine-colored energy began to circulate across those nine tails.

In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted, pinning Cen Yu directly to the ground.

Seeing this, he stared at the White Fox before him in disbelief.

Are you kidding me? This is a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox? Since when does the Douluo Continent have a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox??? Is this definitely not some shameless, malicious retaliation from the Asura God?

At that moment, the White Fox cast a sidelong glance at the youth and spoke indifferently: "Human, how did you get in here?"

"Judging by your aura, you must be from the Douluo Continent, right?"

How strange. Although this world is attached to the Douluo Continent, it has been ages since the spatial connection was severed. Where could this human have come from?

Hearing this, Cen Yu activated his martial soul to resist the pressure, climbed up from the ground, and said with a bitter face: "This... Sky Fox, I don't know either."

"I just touched a tombstone of a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and then I appeared here."

"Oh?" The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox ignored his words, instead examining the youth's martial soul with great interest.

"Tsk tsk... your martial soul is quite unique; I have never seen it before."

"Let me see, holy attribute... light attribute... and an auspicious attribute. Quite righteous, aren't you?"

It seems that in storybooks, beings like this are usually the saviors or protagonists, right?

"How interesting. Not only is it a god-level martial soul, but it can actually resist my pressure."

Seeing that the White Fox before him held no malice, Cen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew... thank goodness, thank goodness. At least it wasn't the handiwork of that shameless Asura God.

Otherwise, with this terrifying aura, even if Guang Ling and Azure Luan were by his side, the three of them would struggle to win even if they teamed up.

Thinking of this, he asked awkwardly: "Um, this... Senior, may I ask where this is?"

"I should have two companions who came in with me. Do you know where they might have landed?"

As he spoke, Cen Yu bowed to the White Fox: "If I have caused any offense, please forgive me, Senior."

"They are both elderly men in their seventies; their bodies are frail, so please do not harm them."

On the other side.

Guang Ling and Azure Luan exchanged a glance, looking at this strange area before them with confusion.

"What is this place? A different dimension?"

Suddenly, Guang Ling whipped his head around to look at his surroundings: "Wait! Where is Little Yu?!"

Hearing this, Azure Luan also scanned the area frantically, and sure enough, Cen Yu was nowhere to be seen.
