Chapter 459 The Secret Realm is Thunder Serpent Mountain!?
Chapter 459 The Secret Realm is Thunder Serpent Mountain!?
No matter what, he needs Gu Jiancheng.
With her combat prowess and Gu Jiancheng's mastery of formations, Xue Qiangwei's safety was assured.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qiangwei felt a weight lift from her heart.
She naturally wanted to go to that secret realm with Gu Jiancheng.
"In that case, let's go now!"
In contrast, Lu Yanran was also very anxious, and she immediately activated the magic array.
The magic array's light intertwined, transforming into countless totems that appeared in the center of the secret chamber.
The area of this teleportation array is actually not very large.
It should be a small teleportation array.
"Alright, let's leave Lin Yuan City first," Lu Yanran said after activating the magic array.
"Ok!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded, and then, along with Xue Qiangwei, followed Lu Yanran directly into the teleportation array, instantly disappearing within it.
After the three people disappeared, a figure emerged from the secret chamber.
"Yanran, I really hope you can come back safely this time."
The woman in white sighed.
Meanwhile, Gu Jiancheng and his two companions had already appeared in a mountain valley outside Lin Yuan City.
This place is only thirty miles away from Linyuan City.
"We're out safely, now we just need to get going."
As Lu Yanran spoke, she raised her hand, and a ten-foot-long white jade flying boat, bathed in celestial light, appeared in front of the three of them.
“Using a pet for transportation won’t be enough to conceal your presence. Use this magic weapon. Come on up,” Lu Yanran said.
"Hehe, good stuff."
Gu Jiancheng smiled, and the two of them boarded the flying boat, soaring into the sky together with Lu Yanran.
Shortly after the three left, an old man in black robes suddenly appeared in the mountain valley.
"Hmph, as expected, some people can leave Lin Yuan City!"
The old man in black robes raised his hand, grasped a wisp of immortal light in the air, and then disappeared from the spot with a cold snort.
At that moment, on the cloud boat, Gu Jiancheng's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
"what happened?"
Lu Yanran had been keeping an eye on Gu Jiancheng, and when she noticed a change in his expression, she quickly asked him a question.
"fine."
Gu Jiancheng shook his head, but at the same time he secretly activated the Pangu Banner within his body to completely isolate the aura of the three people and the flying boat.
Thus, the black-robed elder who caught up shortly afterward could only stand in the void, his expression extremely gloomy.
"Damn it, it seems you do have some tricks up your sleeve!"
To be able to cut off his aura tracking in such a short time is quite an achievement!
But now that he had lost his breath, he had no choice but to give up and turn to leave.
Not long after, Gu Jiancheng looked at the direction the flying boat was flying and his heart was shocked.
Because this direction is the same as the Thunder Serpent Mountain that the Xue family patriarch told him about before.
Could it be such a coincidence?!
However, although Gu Jiancheng had doubts, he did not voice them, but waited quietly.
Thus, three days later, when the speed of the cloud boat finally began to slow down, Gu Jiancheng was certain that the secret realm Lu Yanran was going to was Thunder Serpent Mountain.
What a coincidence!
However, this is also a good thing for Gu Jiancheng.
At least he doesn't have to waste any more time.
At this moment, the flying boat had already landed on a not-so-high mountain.
Before the flying boat lay a continuous range of mountains, as complex as a maze.
Gu Jiancheng stared intently and discovered that all the mountain peaks in front of him were shrouded in a restrictive array. These restrictions were very ancient, and if one did not have a deep understanding of array formations, one would not be able to discover their secrets.
Moreover, because these restrictions are so ancient, some of them are now incomplete and exposed.
However, although this incomplete restriction is easy to discover, it is also very dangerous. If one rashly enters it, one will surely lose their life.
Clan Chief Xue was lucky last time, accidentally entering one of the restricted spaces, but now Gu Jiancheng can be certain that the secret space they went to was only a part of it.
This secret realm before us is anything but simple.
"Here we are, right here."
At this moment, Lu Yanran put away the flying boat and led the two of them to a mountain wall at the foot of the mountain.
"Miss Lu, how did you discover this secret realm?"
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked.
Because behind this mountain wall is indeed an entrance, but it is not the only entrance, and the location is different from the one recorded by Chief Xue.
“I came here before looking for herbs and found it by chance. Although I can enter through this entrance, I can’t enter inside.”
Lu Yanran shrugged: "Is there a problem?"
"No, come in."
Gu Jiancheng shook his head, then suddenly raised his hand, and the restrictive totems on the mountain wall began to surge wildly.
Just a few breaths later, the restriction was broken, and a dark rift appeared in front of the three of them.
"Tsk tsk, Young Master Gu's skill in array formations is indeed extraordinary. This array wasted a lot of my time before!"
Lu Yanran was overjoyed upon seeing this.
After all, this was the first time Gu Jiancheng had shown him his mastery of formations.
It was truly astonishing that he could break through her illusion array with just a wave of his hand.
"A piece of cake."
Gu Jiancheng shook his head, and then became the first to enter the crevice.
Lu Yanran and Xue Qiangwei followed closely behind. The rift was very deep, and the aura of magic arrays surged on both sides of the passage.
But they found nothing on the way, because Lu Yanran had been here before and the place had already been cleaned up.
Thus, the three of them arrived at a cave in just a short while.
In the center of the cave stands an ancient stone platform, surrounded by carvings of ancient dragon totems.
Above the platform was an even more ancient formation.
However, the magic array was dormant and not activated at this moment.
"This is it. I did have some opportunities here before, but I suspect that we can go deeper into this place. However, I cannot break the magic array, so I have to leave."
Lu Yanran spoke from behind Gu Jiancheng.
"You're right to suspect it; this is just the entrance."
Gu Jiancheng then walked around the stone platform, his gaze fixed on the ancient dragon totem.
"Did you encounter any danger when you came in earlier, young lady?" Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked.
"Danger?"
Lu Yanran raised an eyebrow and then said, "Yes, there are some. When I came in earlier, I found some poisonous scales here."
"This is it."
As she spoke, she took out a jet-black scale from her storage ring.
"That poison was extraordinary, but it was nothing to me."
"But you shouldn't touch it, it's too much trouble."
"It's alright." But Gu Jiancheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the black scale.
Lu Yanran was stunned, but it was too late to stop it.
But soon she discovered that Gu Jiancheng was as if nothing had happened, and the black mist on the black scales disappeared completely in no time!
This was simply unbelievable to her.
Could it be that Gu Jiancheng is also immune to all poisons?!
But at this moment, Gu Jiancheng's mind was completely absorbed in these scales.
Because Chief Xue previously said he saw dragon scales in the secret realm, he was probably referring to these kinds of scales.
To Gu Jiancheng's surprise, there was no trace of dragon aura in these scales.
"What do you think these scales are, young lady?" Gu Jiancheng asked, raising his eyes.
“Anyway, it’s not a dragon scale, and there’s no dragon energy inside. But I took this scale back to the sect to investigate before, and now I suspect it’s a scale from an ancient divine beast, Xiangliu!” Lu Yanran said in a deep voice.
"Nine-headed willow!?"
Gu Jiancheng was also shocked upon hearing this.
