" The Sea Realm..."
Sensing the power of the invisible barrier, Ning Chuan's expression turned serious, but he remained calm.
He was on high alert.
He knew.
Gu Yunyou, we've arrived!
Staring at the invisible barrier that was almost as high as the blood-red sky, Ning Chuan stopped flying and began to sense it carefully.
He did not attack rashly or attempt to force his way in.
The fact that Gu Yunyou used an invisible barrier to seal off the Blood Curtain Plateau at least illustrates one point.
Gu Yunyou's long-range detection methods were insufficient to break through the concealment of the Ends of the World Mystic Truth and could not detect his whereabouts.
Otherwise, just come straight at them.
He is safe and out of danger for the time being.
"The fluctuations in the barrier are somewhat similar to those of a domain."
Ning Chuan secretly analyzed. " The Fourth-Grade Law that Gu Yunyou comprehended is quite powerful, no weaker than Senior Bai. It is formed by the fusion of one Title Mystic Truth and two ordinary Mystic Truth, and is called the ' Mystic Suppression ' Law."
The domain formed by this condensed Heart of Law possesses the ability to seal off space.
However, this invisible barrier is not entirely the same as the normal realm.
Or will the domain of Law change after reaching the Sea Realm?
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to make a decision.
He hesitated for a moment, then summoned Bai Zhi.
Similarly, Bai Zhi was surrounded by the power of the Ends of the World Mystic Truth and could not reveal her form.
" Bai Zhi, do you know what this barrier is?"
Ning Chuan inquired directly.
Bai Zhi glanced at it, nodded, and pondered, "It should be some kind of martial art. This kind of martial art has very high requirements; it usually requires reaching the Sea Realm to cultivate."
"Of course, if the quality of the Law is high enough, such as Second-Grade Law, one can cultivate it upon entering the Spring Realm."
Bai Zhi looked up into the distance, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, and said, "The barrier covers a wide area, but the energy is interconnected. Even if you attack one spot, the nearby energy will quickly gather. Simply destroying it at one point is unlikely to be effective."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan stared intently, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We cannot force our way in."
"Can't it be broken?"
"It can be penetrated."
Ning Chuan nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "However, it requires me to completely disregard my injuries and maximize my combat power."
That would cause my injuries to worsen rapidly, making it impossible for me to even maintain the Ends of the World Mystic Truth.
Leaving the barrier would actually reveal our location.
"Clear."
Bai Zhi seemed to understand, and after thinking for a moment, suggested, "Then let's continue with the inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture. The original cultivator who used the domain martial arts, that is, Gu Yunyou, can't come to find you."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise, "What does it mean that Gu Yunyou can't come?"
"The requirements for domain-based martial arts are very high. Gu Yunyou is only at the Sea Realm of the Fourth-Grade Law, barely meeting the requirements to use it. He needs to exert all his strength to maintain such a large range," Bai Zhi explained. "Now, let alone coming to find you, I think he might not even be able to move."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's heart stirred.
It wasn't a plan to assassinate Gu Yunyou.
Strong individuals react very quickly.
The assassination attempt was far too risky, especially for someone currently wounded; a failed strike would mean certain death.
Ning Chuan thought that since Gu Yunyou's movements were restricted, the Holy Heaven Alliance would have to use other Heavenly King to find his whereabouts.
Due to his current injuries, he can only partially utilize the Ends of the World Mystic Truth.
But this is, after all, only the prototype of Second-Grade Law!
Its power should not be underestimated.
Ning Chuan thought to himself that even the domain of the Great River Realm Heavenly King be difficult to penetrate.
To find him, the Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance could only conduct a thorough search and force him to reveal himself through continuous attacks.
The Blood Curtain Plateau spans tens of thousands of kilometers!
A thorough sweep would be a huge undertaking and would take a long time.
Enough for him to heal his injuries!
"Wrong!"
Ning Chuan suddenly shook his head.
Bai Zhi, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"
"The people of the Holy Heaven Alliance know about my healing abilities; they wouldn't give me so much time for nothing. They must have ways to find out my whereabouts."
Ning Chuan briefly explained his doubts.
Bai Zhi glanced at the invisible barrier and pondered, "Could it be related to Gu Yunyou?"
"Domain martial arts have multiple functions; besides enhancing the domain's inherent Realm Force, they can also generate entirely new abilities."
Bai Zhi's tone was uncertain as she told Ning Chuan that her understanding of domain martial arts was rather general.
It is impossible to identify which martial arts style Gu Yunyou uses.
"Fine."
Ning Chuan shook his head, unconcerned.
As they were talking, the human and the spirit of the realm noticed something and turned around to look.
Buzz--!
In the distance, an invisible barrier merged with the crimson sky, projecting swathes of white light that penetrated the earth, spreading a peculiar wave that swept back and forth.
"This is..."
Bai Zhi vaguely recognized it and tentatively asked, "It's a detection method for an invisible barrier."
"Right."
Ning Chuan, with his keener senses, affirmed and said in a deep voice, " Gu Yunyou cannot be swept away in one go."
This is a localized exploration.
He is checking them one by one.
"This is far more efficient than using Heavenly King search!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi felt a little anxious, but she didn't show it. She looked at Ning Chuan with her cool eyes and asked, "What's the next step?"
"Let's test the strength of our investigation methods."
A glint of light flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes. He stepped forward and flew towards the sweeping light, calmly saying, "If I can hide, that would be best. I can find a place to heal until I'm fully recovered."
"If we can't hide it, we can only fight while looking for opportunities to heal and gradually recover from our injuries."
"Or perhaps his injuries will heal to the point where he can evade Gu Yunyou's detection."
Ning Chuan explained clearly and calmly, demonstrating precise planning for the next steps.
Gu Yunyou's movements were restricted, but he posed no threat to his life.
As for the other Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance...
Ning Chuan wasn't particularly worried.
As long as he isn't surrounded and attacked by multiple Great River Realm Heavenly King, his situation won't be extremely dangerous.
Most importantly, through soul searching of the armored River Realm Heavenly King, Ning Chuan already knew that almost all the Great River Realm Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance were currently in the North Sea Domain.
The original plan was to attack Martial Star as soon as the trip to the Divine Martial Stele ended, but the passage was unexpectedly cut off by the Prison Realm.
This is to his advantage.
The entrance to the North Sea Domain is located at the southern pole of the Heavenly Martial Realm. For those Heavenly King of the Great River Realm to reach the Blood Curtain Plateau in the northern pole, the journey alone would take a considerable amount of time.
"Arrive."
Gazing at the white light so close at hand, Bai Zhi spoke up to remind Ning Chuan.
They came to the edge of the light.
"Um."
Ning Chuan nodded, raised his right hand, and, carrying the fluctuations of the profound meaning of the Ends of the World Mystic Truth, probed straight into it.
boom!
Instantly, the invisible barrier projecting the light trembled violently, causing the crimson sky to undulate, resembling a boiling sea of blood, vast and magnificent.
"Very perceptive."
Ning Chuan withdrew his right hand, his gaze calm. He had already noticed and said, "However, I don't need to use my full power to activate the Ends of the World Mystic Truth. Once my injuries have healed somewhat, I should be able to deceive you."
After saying that, Ning Chuan turned and left with Bai Zhi, quickly flying into the distance.
It didn't last long.
Ning Chuan found a forest covered in snow, landed there, and then, with a thought, materialized the Inheritance Stone of the Prison-Suppressing Manor and held it in his hand.
" Bai Zhi, how do you inherit the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture?"
"Leave it to me; you just need to sense it with your mind."
