Chapter 164

Hearing Lianxin's words, Li Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Is this not an illusion?

But why is this place completely different from the legendary Thousand Flowers Realm Domain?

Li Yang immediately said, "Senior brother, let's use the Teleportation Anchor together!"

The reason they used them together was that Li Yang was afraid that there would be some danger if Li Qingchen was left alone.

Li Qingchen didn't hesitate and nodded, "Okay!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two simultaneously used the Teleportation Anchor, however...

Li Qingchen's expression changed. "It can't be used!"

Li Yang's heart sank.

Sure enough, they encountered the worst-case scenario.

This Teleportation Anchor, belonging to the Upper Three Realms, is not Invincibility.

Some high-level Star Wielders can also devise countermeasures against it.

Without saying a word, Li Yang used his identity token again.

The ID tag flashed, but it was unclear whether the message had been relayed.

Li Qingchen quickly sent a message back, but neither of them received a reply.

Li Qingchen's face grew even paler, and he murmured, "There's actually an information barrier here..."

He quickly added, "That shouldn't be the case! The Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is extremely open, practically welcoming all Star Wielders. There's no large-scale organization here to set up such teleportation restrictions and information shielding!"

The Teleportation Anchor is unusable.

The identity card cannot transmit messages back.

Li Yang and Li Qingchen had just arrived in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain when they were trapped here.

Li Qingchen's fear grew stronger, and she couldn't help but say, "Could it be... that we accidentally fell into a time tunnel and arrived in the unpolluted Thousand Flowers Realm Domain?"

Li Yang immediately said, "Senior brother, don't overthink it. This is very likely what they want us to believe!"

Li Qingchen: "So, all of this is just an illusion?"

Li Yang paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

Although Lianxin told Li Yang that what was happening was not an illusion,

But what if the person who set up the illusion was someone of a higher realm than Lianxin?

For example... the Flower of Evil.

Li Yang asked Lianxin, "Can you sense the aura of the Flower of Flower of Evil?"

Lianxin shook her head. "I can't sense it."

Li Yang took a deep breath to calm herself down and sort out the jumbled information in her mind.

They located the coordinates of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain through the teleportation channels of Huaxia.

There shouldn't be any problems with the teleportation channel, since it was arranged by the Marquis of Wind Pavilion.

However, the current scene is completely different from the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain recorded in the Star Nexus Pavilion.

There are only two possibilities for the current situation: one is that they are in an illusion that even the Lianxin cannot see through; the other is what Li Qingchen said, that they have accidentally returned to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain before it was polluted.

Li Yang couldn't figure out which possibility it was.

But what she could tell was that the Flower of Evil was waiting for her.

Everything that has appeared in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain can be confirmed as the work of the Flower of Evil.

Whether it's an illusion or they've been dragged into a past timeline... it's something only those with a cultivation level above the Ninth Grade can accomplish.

Therefore, only the Flower of Evil would go to such great lengths.

What does the Flower of Evil want to do?

It definitely wasn't about eating her.

If it were just about eating her, there would be no need for all this trouble.

Having figured this out, Li Yang felt a little more at ease.

Li Qingchen was still anxious, Li Yang comforted him, saying, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it and look around."

Li Yang's composure impressed Li Qingchen.

After calming down, Li Qingchen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Despite being older and more experienced, Li Yang was much calmer and more composed at this crucial moment, and she had to take care of him.

Li Qingchen swallowed hard, then quickly replied, "Yes! We'll meet force with force, and we'll deal with whatever happens!"

Li Yang was worried about the spores of the Flower of Evil nearby, so the two of them could not be too far apart and could only explore this unknown Thousand Flowers Realm Domain in sync.

Beneath their feet were enormous flowers, each petal soft and thick, some even quite bouncy; a strong stomp would send a person flying.

If the situation weren't so bizarre, they would find this place quite amusing.

In reality, the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is a maddening place littered with corpses and where lawlessness reigns. The fairytale-like scene before me is hardly relaxing.

Li Yang and Li Qingchen are both at the Peak Fifth Grade Realm, and their physical fitness is beyond question. Even on the petals that are difficult for ordinary people to walk on, they walk as if on flat ground.

Li Qingchen continued to release his Star Soul.

His Star Soul not only has reconnaissance capabilities, but can also autonomously defend itself.

Although keeping it running continuously would consume his soul power, he had brought a lot of pills with him on this trip, so he wasn't worried about the battery life.

Li Yang did not unleash his Star Soul.

Her Star Soul is purely offensive; releasing it now would only waste her Soul Power.

Lianxin had been carefully observing, occasionally telling Li Yang, "Fellow Daoist, I haven't sensed the aura of the Flower of Flower of Evil."

"Fellow Daoist, there are no spores of the Flower of Evil around here."

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

Although there were no spores of the Flower of Evil, Li Yang still didn't let Li Qingchen go too far away from her.

What if this is a deliberate attempt to lower their guard?

In short, caution is the best policy.

Just because Lianxin can't sense it now doesn't mean she won't later.

They walked on the huge flower for about half an hour.

The Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is vast; according to data from the Star Nexus Pavilion, its size is roughly equivalent to three Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

Li Yang and Li Qingchen's search speed was astonishing. If they were in the Huaxia Realm Domain, half an hour would have been enough for them to cross two major provinces.

However, nothing unusual happened in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.

They bounced and jumped among the flowers, with nothing but the azure sky, the air filled with the rich fragrance of flowers, and the colorful flowers under their feet—some soft, some firm, some bouncy.

Li Qingchen's heart grew colder and colder. He said, "If it were an illusion, it wouldn't be this big, would it?"

"It's all illusion magic; they might have manipulated the space itself. Senior brother, think about the Noisy Pot; maybe we're in one of those spaces."

Li Qingchen nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Rather than falling into a spacetime rift, Li Qingchen hoped it was just an illusion.

Even an illusion from the Divine Venerable Realm is far better than getting lost in the river of time.

Compared to space, time is far more mysterious and unpredictable.

The Heavenly Time Realm Domain of the Upper Three Realms, though ranked third, is the most mysterious Realm Domain in the entire Astral Realm.

There are very few Star Wielders in the Heavenly Time Realm Domain, but each one of them is Divine Venerable Realm.

They rarely travel through the Astral Realm.

Because once they arrive, things will happen that are beyond the comprehension of the Star Wielders.

Even Ninth-Grade Supreme, when faced with Divine Venerable being from the Heavenly Time Realm Domain, will be lost in the torrent of time and never find their way home!

Can the Flower of Evil also wield the power of time?

Li Qingchen sincerely hoped that it wasn't that terrifying.

Li Yang wasn't searching aimlessly; she was constantly expending her lifespan to have Sister Longevity record the places she and Li Qingchen had been.

Sister Longevity could also help her search this Realm Domain, but she asked for 500,000 years of lifespan, which Li Yang simply couldn't afford.

She only brought with her 300,000-year lifespan and helped Lianxin replenish the 900,000-year-old reservoir.

These are for saving your life.

How could Li Yang dare to waste her time here!

However, Li Yang had also been testing Sister Longevity.

The more lifespan is consumed, the higher the level of the people associated with the manipulator.

Through the tragic death of Sister Longevity, Li Yang is also able to become certain that the one behind it all is the Flower of Evil.

What is he going to do?

Li Yang couldn't fathom the purpose of the Flower of Evil.

Three hours later, Li Qingchen murmured, "Shouldn't we have finished inspecting the entire Realm Domain by now?"

Li Yang had been keeping a precise track of their progress and knew exactly where they were going. She said, "Halfway done."

Li Qingchen: "!"

He didn't ask any further questions, but simply took a deep breath and said, "Then let's continue."

Three more hours passed.

Li Qingchen looked at Li Yang and said with a wry smile, "There's really no one here..."

This pristine Thousand Flowers Realm Domain truly lives up to the legends, with thousands upon thousands of flowers blooming in profusion.

Despite the beautiful scenery, they showed no interest in appreciating it whatsoever.

Li Yang carefully reviewed the route recorded by Sister Longevity, ensuring that she and Li Qingchen had not missed anything and had completed the search of the entire Thousand Flowers Realm Domain...

Is there really no one here?

Not even the spores of the Flower of Evil?

Could it be that they were really dragged back millions of years?

Li Yang took a deep breath, banishing the thought from her mind.

Impossible!

Let alone the Flower of Evil, even the Divine Venerable of the Heavenly Time Realm Domain —the Heavenly Time King who is most skilled in manipulating the power of time—could not easily send the Star Wielders back tens of millions of years!

Lianxin suddenly spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, shall we go down and take a look?"

Li Yang: "!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Lianlian, you're so smart!"

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

Li Yang and Li Qingchen were so focused on searching the flowers that they didn't even think to look underneath them.

Lianxin's reminder opened up a new avenue for Li Yang's thinking.

Yes, there was no one above the flowers.

What lies beneath the flowers?

Li Yang said to Li Qingchen, "Senior brother, let's go take a look under the flowers."

Li Qingchen was also startled, then her eyes suddenly lit up as she realized she had a new idea, and she quickly replied, "Okay! Let's go down and take a look!"

The reason why Li Yang and Li Qingchen didn't even think to go under the flowers was because the flowers were too crowded, and there was no gap to go down.
