A dazzling array of seven-colored rays of light shone on the Ring Mountains, flashing by in an instant, as the Hunter were released one by one.
Each person exuded a powerful aura that lingered in the air above the Ring Mountains.
Apart from the Little Deer, all the Hunter have broken through to Level Nine.
Wang Biao glanced at the others and found that apart from Qin Ze being slightly disheveled, everyone else was unharmed.
You know, after fighting for so long, his clothes were reduced to strips of cloth.
Were you all this strong before?
In any case, everyone successfully broke through to Level Nine, even Little Deer leveled up.
Wang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully, everyone has survived the life-or-death crisis."
Upon hearing Ironhead Abiao's words, all the Hunter except Qin Ze showed strange expressions.
Life-or-death crisis?
well enough.
They were all Level Nine Martial Artist, so they couldn't very well bring up embarrassing stories from the past. Everyone laughed it off.
"This time in Otherworld was really difficult; I almost didn't make it back."
"Yes, we finally made it through."
"My Breakthrough Otherworld was against a beast horde. I fought my way from one end of the shelter to the other with just my two fists, without even blinking an eye."
"Me too, so-so."
"..."
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "I saw the boss in the Otherworld."
No one was surprised, after all, they had all met the people with whom they had the deepest bonds and encountered the most unforgettable things in this Otherworld.
The Taoist patted him on the shoulder. "It's just Otherworld. We can now rescue the real Yao Yuan."
Qin Ze nodded; he could now locate the Hall of Stars in the void.
He'd have to ask Old Deng, the tree keeper, tonight about the specifics of the search.
The Fairy spoke, "Besides opening Breakthrough Otherworld, I also received instructions from the Guild Master for coming to Snow City this time."
The men looked at her. "What instructions?"
The Fairy said calmly, "Once the Hall of Stars opens, we will rescue Leo and Cancer."
Qin Ze frowned.
Sure enough, White Hair and A Niu came for the Hall of Stars.
"Did you tell that old man about the Hall of Stars?" asked the Slacking on the Sidelines.
The Fairy shook her head. "I had already planned to come to Snow City to Breakthrough Otherworld before I received his instructions."
Slacking on the Sidelines, taking a deep breath. "That old man is unfathomable."
Abiao asked curiously, "What is his strength?"
The Fairy pondered for a moment, "It could be Demigod, or it could be a god."
Qin Ze's expression grew increasingly solemn; it seemed the guild leader had obtained quite a few good things from the remnants of the ancient god.
Slacking on the Sidelines: "No problem. Since you're on our side, we can team up and take down those two Constellations."
The Fairy replied, "Besides me and my partner, Taurus and Scorpio have also come to Snow City on the same rescue mission. One is Level Nine, and the other is Level Eight."
The Taoist for a moment. "With so many of us, we can still fight."
Upon hearing this, the Fairy shook her head. "Things aren't that simple. Since the guild leader foresaw the opening of the Hall of Stars, he couldn't have failed to foresee your breakthrough to Level Nine."
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "Since he knew this was a losing proposition, yet he still let you proceed, his true intentions are not what they seem."
The Fairy agreed with her younger brother's point of view, "That's right, the old man must have a deeper purpose, but I have no clue about it right now."
Qin Ze: "No matter what his purpose is, I will open the Hall of Stars."
Brother Yuanzi has worked too hard for too long; it's time for him to enjoy himself.
The Fairy said calmly, "I'm just giving you a heads-up; the final decision is yours."
The Taoist asked Qin Ze, "When will the Hall of Stars open?"
Qin Ze replied, "I need to speak with the Tree Keeper tonight."
The Taoist priest nodded. "Then we'll stay in Snow City for the time being and wait for the Hall of Stars to open."
He patted his chest Slacking on the Sidelines, "No problem."
The other Hunter also expressed their agreement.
The Taoist smiled and said, "A full day has passed in the outside world. Everyone, please get some rest tonight. If anything comes up, please contact us in the chat group."
Having just completed their breakthroughs, the Hunter, unlike Qin Ze who had oxen and horses to do the work for him, all needed to seize the time to meditate and consolidate their cultivation.
Everyone dispersed, and soon only Qin Ze, the Taoist, and Little Deer Lu remained at the scene.
The Taoist took out a communication card and said, "Let's add each other's contact information."
Qin Ze tapped the Taoist with the retro card that the old tree-guarding elder had kindly given him, and they became friends.
"Then I won't bother you any longer, goodbye."
The Taoist gave the two a knowing smile, then stepped into the void and disappeared.
Qin Ze asked Little Deer, "What's wrong?"
As soon as he emerged from the Otherworld, he noticed that the girl was staring at him with a strange look in her eyes.
The Little Deer gently bit her lower lip. "I met you in Otherworld..."
Qin Ze couldn't help but think to himself, "It wasn't in vain that I, as a father, raised this child with so much care and love."
He thought the Otherworld, and Little Deer was upset, so he comforted her, saying, "Silly girl, the Otherworld is just an illusion."
The Little Deer shook its head. " The Otherworld brought back an experience from my past."
"To be precise, it wasn't that I met you, but rather that my younger self met your teenage self."
Qin Ze was stunned. A meeting across time and space?
Inside the cave.
White Hair Land of the Gods at the bronze coffin, as if afraid it would grow legs and run away.
A Niu sat at the cave entrance, gazing absently at the howling wind and snow outside.
Having traveled this far with his companions, he was now deeply conflicted, wondering whether or not to carry out the chairman's orders.
He glanced back at the White Hair, his eyes filled with hesitation.
The coffin placed on the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the patterns on its surface emitted a dazzling light.
Before A Niu could even react in surprise, the White Hair behind him let out a low, painful groan.
She crouched on the ground, her hands covering her head, white lines spreading from the skin beneath her collar up her neck.
"This is bad!"
A Niu suddenly stood up, but dared not get too close, only shouting loudly, "Wake up!"
White Hair couldn't hear anything at that moment; she felt herself on the Sidelines losing control.
Just when A Niu was at his wit's end, the cave suddenly became filled with Huahua.
The Fairy entered, humming a lighthearted tune, and under her soothing touch, the lines on the White Hair's neck slowly faded away.
And the coffin stopped shaking.
A Niu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
The Fairy looked at the two of them, arms crossed, her tone carrying a hint of interrogation. "What happened?"
Amidst the gray fog, the gaunt guild leader sat high on his throne.
He slowly opened his eyes, as if sensing something, and his mouth stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin.
Congratulations! You've finally broken through to Level Nine!
"Whether you are the one I'm looking for or not, let's wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gray mist surged, and a huge humanoid phantom materialized behind the throne, glaring angrily at the old man on the throne.
The guild leader casually waved his hand, the gray mist subsided, and the illusory image shattered.
"Quiet down, we'll see soon enough."
"At that time, it will be a good thing for you, for me, and even for him."
( The Otherworld storyline is over. I was too tired writing this part, so I'm taking a break today for one update.)
