After some time of cooperation and understanding, Lan Xuelei dared to retort Guan Yue's teasing.
"Hey, Blue Girl, do you want to have another three hundred rounds of a contest?"
"I don't want to; it's you who wants it, right?"
"Exactly, I've been thinking about it a lot. What should I do?"
"Well, we can't be doing that in mid-air, can we?"
Every time this happened, Lan Xuelei would blush deeply, and Guan Yue felt particularly pleased watching her. Teasing Lan Xuelei had become Guan Yue's greatest joy during their flights.
"Hey, there's a big island ahead; we can take a break there." Guan Yue scanned with Divine Sense and detected a large island about a hundred miles away, populated with many people.
"You must be thinking about something else, right? They might not agree, so come on and beg me," Lan Xuelei's playful demeanor emerged. She loved it when Guan Yue begged her for things, allowing her to let loose and let him have his way.
"Little Blue, that's not right." Just as Guan Yue was about to indulge Lan Xuelei's small request, he suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the big island. "This is bad; there are two powerful beings fighting ahead. Let's suppress our cultivation; it's better to avoid trouble."
Lan Xuelei nodded and asked curiously, "Who could it be fighting in a place like this?"
Guan Yue was also very curious. "Exactly, human cultivators rarely cause trouble in the ocean; this is an agreement between humans and the Ocean Leaders."
As they got closer to the big island, the two slowed their flight to avoid attracting attention.
For a long time, humans have heavily hunted marine life due to their needs for survival. The hunting of marine creatures does not lead to war, as these beings have a particularly strong reproductive capacity. If not reduced in numbers in a timely manner, it can cause disruptions in the food chain, which is why marine creatures often engage in conflicts themselves.
However, three hundred years ago, due to the need for cultivation and, more importantly, significant breakthroughs in human diving skills, a large number of Human Cultivators began to hunt Advanced Marine Beings.
The continuous hunting actions finally provoked the anger of the top marine beings. Thus erupted a bloody event where marine creatures forcefully landed and carried out a massacre against humans.
This war lasted for twenty years, with both sides suffering extremely heavy losses. Yet neither side had the capability to completely annihilate the other.
In the end, the top experts from both sides signed an agreement: high-level cultivators from both sides were prohibited from crossing boundaries to carry out hunting actions.
Since the signing of the agreement, human Senior Cultivators have been strictly forbidden from hunting marine life; otherwise, they would bear the consequences, and humanity would not come to their aid.
Once, a genius from a certain family went into the ocean for training and was killed there. His entire family then mobilized to confront the Advanced Marine Beings. As a result, they were all slaughtered by Human Cultivators, with no one escaping.
From that point on, human Senior Cultivators truly dared not cause trouble in the ocean again.
For three hundred years, humans and marine creatures coexisted peacefully.
However, it seemed that the two fighting parties ahead were Senior Cultivators engaged in fierce combat, evenly matched and difficult to separate.
It was only when Guan Yue and his companion flew closer that both sides ceased their attacks. It appeared that they had been fighting for quite some time; both parties' clothing was tattered and their bodies covered in wounds. Yet their expressions were very satisfied.
Upon approaching, Guan Yue realized that the two sides were actually sparring.
Guan Yue looked at the combatants: one was a White-Clad Youth and the other was a human in Divine Beast Transformation. Seeing Guan Yue approach, the White-Clad Youth laughed heartily and said, "Guan Tian, right? What brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be dealing with the Ancient Tomb Sect?"
Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei were both taken aback: how did this person know Guan Tian?
The White-Clad Youth saw Guan Yue's surprise and laughed heartily again, then said, "Of course, I was observing you when you broke through to the Eternal Realm. Did you not expect that? You made quite a name for yourself that time."
Then he turned to introduce the divine beast, saying, "This is Guan Tian from the Yongning Continent's Dragon Lake Academy. His master is the Southern Source Poor Scholar. He is currently at the peak of Hengzeng."
He then addressed Guan Yue, saying, "I am Lu Fang, and this is the divine beast known as White City."
Lu Fang, White City?
Guan Yue also introduced Lu Fang, saying, "This is my wife, Lan Xuelei, who is also at the peak of the Eternal Realm."
"Oh, Miss Lan, nice to meet you," the White-Clad Youth chuckled. He had intended to call her Blue Heroine but seeing how young Lan Xuelei was, he opted for Miss Lan instead.
White City also nodded slightly at Lan Xuelei and said, "Lan Xuelei? Nice to meet you."
Lan Xuelei smiled back at both of them. Her smile was truly beautiful, and the White-Clad Youth couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times. He then turned to Guan Yue and said, "Brother Guan Tian, you really are fortunate. Such a young and beautiful girl at the peak of the Eternal Realm has actually been won over by you."
In Lu Fang's mind, he had already regarded Guan Yue as merely a very young-looking ancient being of a thousand years.
White City also gave a wry smile, unsure of what to think.
Upon hearing Lu Fang's words, Guan Yue secretly scoffed, thinking, "What an unobservant person; can't he see that I'm younger than Lan Xuelei?"
Guan Yue quickly changed the subject and asked, "Brother Lu, Brother Bai, how far is it from here to the Southern Source Empire? We are eager to return."
Lu Fang smiled and said, "Guan Tian, with beautiful companions, what's a day or two? Tomorrow we will take you to see a spectacular and rare place, and there might even be unexpected rewards. You must agree."
For some reason, as soon as Lu Fang approached, he gave Guan Yue a strong sense of trust and friendship. Guan Yue used the Mental Peeping Technique to scan but found no malice. So he had no choice but to agree.
After all, it was just tomorrow; it would be good to broaden his horizons.
In the evening, the four of them sat around a table.
At first, everyone was a bit awkward. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they fell silent.
Seeing the atmosphere cool down, Guan Yue took out Celestial Wine for Lu Fang and the others to taste.
Lu Fang and White City were surprised when they saw the Celestial Wine. They exchanged glances without saying a word, simply enjoying the food and drink.
Because of their excitement over the Celestial Wine, their conversation gradually opened up. Through their self-introductions, Guan Yue learned that they came from another massive space.
Due to an accident, their group of six had come out searching for Heaven and Earth Treasures but unfortunately ended up in the Yongning Continent. Now they were looking for Supreme Treasures while also searching for a way back.
Guan Yue suddenly remembered Lu Qing from the Dawson Empire and asked, "Brother Lu, do you have a younger brother in the Dawson Empire?"
Lu Fang laughed heartily and replied, "That's my avatar."
Guan Yue understood at once.
Lan Xuelei asked from the side, "You two, what kind of Heaven and Earth Treasure are you searching for? Could you share?"
White City was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "The thing we are looking for might be something you don't quite understand. It is a seal, the only Treasure created by a Great Man from our realm. It is said to have fallen onto the Yongning Continent for over ten thousand years. We came here because of an accident that prevented us from returning. So now we are searching for the Heaven and Earth Treasure while also looking for a way back home."
Lu Fang also smiled wryly and said, "To be honest with you both, the place we are going to tomorrow might have the Heaven and Earth Treasure. If you two obtain it, please give it to us, and we will provide you with anything you want. Moreover, we will take you out into the Upper Space."
"Upper Space?" Lan Xuelei couldn't help but ask curiously due to youthful impulsiveness.
White City slightly curled his lips: "Have there been any occurrences of Little Ancestor Saint from your Yongning Continent going there? They all went to the Upper Space. They are all with us."
Lan Xuelei immediately followed up with another question: "Is my Master there?"
"Your Master?" Lu Fang asked in confusion.
Guan Yue smiled wryly and said, "It's the Southern Source Poor Scholar." At this moment, Guan Yue's expression was quite awkward.
Hmm, ah, heh heh, hahahaha.
After hearing Guan Yue's explanation, both White City and Lu Fang burst into laughter, almost laughing until their stomachs hurt.
Lu Fang pointed at Guan Yue, laughing so hard he trembled: "Guan Tian, Guan Tian, how should I say this about you? You even want to monopolize a female disciple; truly beastly."
Lan Xuelei hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think; he was originally my Master Uncle."
Once again, Lu Fang and the others laughed heartily. This time even White City pointed at Guan Yue, laughing: "This girl is so young; how can you bear to take action against her?" In Lu Fang's mind, he never believed that Guan Yue was only in her teens; he judged that she was at least several hundred years old but just looked young.
Guan Yue felt a wave of frustration; how young she was had nothing to do with how young he was!
But now Guan Yue's mind was entirely focused on his master's situation, so he stepped forward to explain, "Little Blue and I had no choice but to merge our powers due to urgent circumstances; otherwise, my father and friends would have been killed by the Little Ancestor Saint of the Ancient Tomb Sect. That's why we were forced to combine our strengths to repel the Little Ancestor Saint."
He feared that his master might overhear their conversation and become suspicious.
"Oh, I heard about it. You two managed to bring down the Three Little Ancestors, causing them to fall into the Spatial Rift. I see, we misunderstood you," Lu Fang immediately became serious.
White City also respectfully clasped his hands toward Guan Yue, showing humility. A hint of surprise appeared on his face: "They were able to deal with the Three Little Ancestors."
Guan Yue knew that Lu Fang had misunderstood the situation, but he did not explain further and directly asked, "Do you two have any information about our master? How is he doing now?"
Lu Fang smiled wryly, "Guan Tian brother, we cannot disclose anything about the Upper Space. However, as friends, I can tell you that I happen to know this Southern Source Poor Scholar. I even helped him out once. He is currently in a sect and is not doing well."
Lan Xuelei looked anxious and interjected, "He's not doing well?"
White City glanced at Lu Fang and sighed lightly, "We don't even know if we can return. Why discuss those matters?"
Lu Fang understood White City's meaning, so he said to Lan Xuelei, "In any case, you will both need to go up there in the future. Once you do, contact me, and I'll inform you of the Southern Source Poor Scholar's exact location. Perhaps he will need your abilities to change his current situation."
Both Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei felt a heavy weight in their hearts; from their words, it seemed that the Southern Source Poor Scholar was in a precarious situation!
