Secret of the Floating World

Ji Qingyun then said calmly, "Tongyi, I know you are fair in nature, which is why I wish to entrust you with the responsibility of Supervision this realm. But you must know that no matter how much you cherish talent, each realm has its own rules that cannot be overstepped, or you will surely suffer the consequences."

Kuang Tongyi accepted the instruction.

The two used their movement techniques to head towards the seal on South Goose Path.

But before he had gone far, Ji Qingyun suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Ancestor?"

Ji Qingyun took out the Bronze Token, which shimmered with a faint light. A message entered his mind, and after a moment, he frowned and sighed softly, "This is big trouble."

Kuang Tongyi's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Upper Realm Message that Miaoxuan has not yet left the Heaven Ascending Path and entered the Sect."

"How is this possible? Fellow Daoist Friend Miaoxuan already at the Peak the Dao Fire Realm, with one foot already in the Divine Platform Realm, just waiting for her final Transformation. With her cultivation level, how could she possibly fail to pass the Heaven Ascending Path, which only Grandmaster Realm can pass? Besides, even if she fails, she should fall back to this realm, and she hasn't returned yet!"

"There might be other changes regarding Miaoxuan, but given her cultivation level, I'm not too worried. However, Tongyi, don't you think this news came too quickly?"

Kuang Tongyi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Ji Qingyun said in a deep voice, "When the Heavenly Gate opens, the two realms are connected and Space-Time are unified. But once the Heavenly Gate closes, the passage of time in the Floating World will return to normal. One day in the Cultivation World is equivalent to one hundred days in the Floating World!"

Upper Realm Message said that Miaoxuan had left the Heaven Ascending Path, and at the same time asked if I had found out the cause of the tremors in the Floating World. This means that at least half a day or a day had passed before the Upper Realm realm sent the message to me, and I received the information at this time.

Kuang Tongyi's tone also became serious. "This indicates that the flow of time in this realm is almost identical to that in the Upper Realm, and it also indicates that something has happened in my Floating World."

Ji Qingyun nodded and said, "That's right. There are some things that only those who take over this realm are qualified to know. The Silk Book I was going to give you yesterday also contained some of these things. However, now that you have been appointed to Oversight this realm, and given what has happened, I can tell you the secrets."

"Please speak, Ancestor."

Ji Qingyun gathered his thoughts and asked, "Do you know why the Floating World is so devoid of vital Vital Energy, and why time passes so quickly?"

Kuang Tongyi was taken aback. "The Floating World is a Small World; isn't that something that's inherently determined?"

Ji Qingyun shook his head and said, "That's one of the reasons, but it's not the whole story."

The Three Thousand Floating Realms are the High Antiquity Three Thousand Demon Refining Array, which uses the Demonic Qi of the Demon Realm as its Law Power source! The rapid passage of time in this realm is due to the effect of this Ancient Array. Now, it is in sync with the Cultivation World's time, which means that the Ancient Array in this realm has stopped.

Over time, perhaps ten or even a hundred years, its effects will not be visible. However, as time goes by, the Outer Demon this realm will become increasingly dense, and the seal may not be able to withstand it. At that time, the entire world will be corrupted by the Demon Realm!

Upon hearing this, Kuang Tongyi's heart skipped a beat, his face gradually turned ugly, and his mind was violently shaken. The aura of the Dao Fire Realm couldn't help but leak out, startling countless Birds and Beasts and beasts. People within a ten-mile radius held their breath and their hearts skipped a beat.

"For the Lingxu Sect, it may only be the loss of a small realm, which is not a fundamental blow, but for the beings in that realm..." Ji Qingyun did not finish his sentence, but the implication was self-evident.

Kuang Tongyi asked with a strained and dry voice, "What should we do?"

Ji Qingyun sighed softly, "First, we need to find the source of the problem and report it to the Upper Realm. However... even Sect might not be able to handle such Ancient Array, let alone Cultivator above the Dao Fire Realm who cannot come to this realm."

For the next few days, Gu Yuanqing spent most of his time on the Cliff Fishing Platform.

With continuous practice, he improved significantly in all aspects.

The True Essence became increasingly pure, each wisp of True Essence flowing out was crystal clear and shimmering with light.

The True Essence condensed from hundreds of strands of True Essence was finally compressed by Gu Yuanqing to the thickness of a real Fishing Line. Moreover, under his deliberate control, his aura was contained, and his form could be hidden in the Void.

His Divine Sense could now penetrate within five feet of the Demon Realm.

By continuously utilizing the Heavenly Fishing Method to apply the Dao Resonance, his understanding of the Dao Resonance deepened, and the Dao Embryo was also affected, accelerating its Transformation.

Furthermore, with the Spiritual Qi flowing into the Spirit Mountain Pool becoming increasingly pure, his cultivation had already reached the Peak the Dao Embryo Realm.

He already vaguely sensed the approaching Yin Fire Tribulation within his Dao Heart. This tribulation stemmed from the Dao Embryo, and even though he intentionally suppressed his breakthrough to refine his True Essence and Divine Intent, making his cultivation foundation more solid, it wouldn't last long.

In recent days, he has caught quite a few more prey.

Bears, horses, pigs, cows, and even birds and fish are all present, but nothing, once it enters the Heaven and Earth Pool, will transform into a tiny fish.

Gu Yuanqing paid the most attention to the wild boar that was thrown down first. Its aura was slightly weak. Yesterday, Gu Yuanqing had pulled it out and found that the Demonic Qi in its body had been greatly diminished.

This made Gu Yuanqing's eyes light up. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the beasts in the pool could be eaten. He had never eaten anything from the Demon Realm before, and he didn't know what it tasted like.

That afternoon, he sat on the Fishing Platform as usual, and no prey had taken the bait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

He could vaguely discern that the location of this Heavenly Fishing was in a spacious cave, with a living being closely watching the Spirit Fruit formed from the Dao Resonance.

This prey was very cautious, unlike the creatures I had caught before. It seemed to possess intelligence, able to resist the alluring scent of the Spirit Fruit.

Gu Yuanqing was very patient; even if he couldn't catch anything, it didn't matter, as the process itself was a form of cultivation.

It is the tempering of True Essence, Divine Intent, and Dao Resonance through the Empowerment of the three abilities of Mountain Observation, Object Control, and Heavenly Fishing.

In the Demon Realm, there is a place called Sky Fox Mountain among the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Inside a cave at the mountaintop, various shimmering gemstones were inlaid.

Calling this a cave might not be accurate; it should be called a grotto.

The cave was clean and tidy, containing everything a human should have.

A snow-white Young Fox lay on White Jade Bed, its scarlet eyes fixed on a Spirit Fruit floating in the air.

It kept swallowing its saliva; the fruit was too tempting, but its appearance was too strange, so even after waiting for so long, it didn't dare to take a bite.

It wanted to call the fox over, but it was afraid that someone else would snatch it away from it.

After a long time, it cautiously took steps forward, glancing left and right from time to time, ready to run away immediately if anything went wrong.

As it got closer, it didn't sense anything amiss. Finally, it couldn't resist leaping up, biting the Spirit Fruit, and then preparing to run into the cave to find the fox.

But the next second, intense pain came from its mouth and the depths of its consciousness. Then it found itself airborne in an unfamiliar place. Endless power suppressed its Demonic Essence, and what it saw was a bipedal monster.

"It's over! This monster is Human Race from outside the legendary Hundred Thousand Great Mountains! I've fallen into Human Race hands!"

It tried to struggle, but to no avail.

Gu Yuanqing, standing on the Fishing Platform, was surprised to see that he had caught a cute-looking young white fox. His eyes lit up.

Just as he was about to take it over for a closer look, he suddenly turned his head to look into the distance. He sensed that two experts were heading towards North Spring Mountain, about twenty miles away. One of them was very familiar to him; it was Kuang Tongyi, with whom he had fought before.

He threw the white fox into the Heaven and Earth Pool, frowning slightly. These two were clearly coming for him!
