At the same time, in every corner of Jiangzhou, various secret realm vortices were continuously emerging.

No one knew why this was happening.

Even the powerful Dark Web led by Fang Yu couldn't possibly cover up all the secret realms.

Thus, a group of crazy scientists began researching the secret realms. Ultimately, they concluded that these were pseudo black holes created by spatial tears.

Regardless of whether this conclusion was correct, the cultivators just laughed it off.

Ordinary people who entered any secret realm either got poisoned, burned, or bitten to death by fierce beasts, and the number of missing people kept increasing.

This forced the authorities to issue a notice, warning citizens not to enter the secret realms lightly.

Luckily...

In the Nine Provinces of Huaxia, the major cities maintained a stable situation overall. There were no wars or riots, but... humans no longer enjoyed the same leisurely and peaceful days as before.

...

On Tiandu Mountain.

After settling the Fang Family disciples in Tiandu Hall, Fang Yu went to the back mountain.

He knew that time was of the essence now; each day in the current world equated to many years in the secret realms. Such a time span, if wasted, would be a pity.

At the back mountain.

Other than Ye Wenjun, Fang Yu allowed no Fang Family disciples to see him off.

Standing beside the cliff, Ye Wenjun's face seemed calm, but her eyes were filled with worry.

Fang Yu squinted and smiled, "What must come will eventually come... I'm not going to my death, so why are you looking at me so affectionately?"

Ye Wenjun didn't speak, and kept watching him.

This scene seemed to have been experienced many times, yet each time had a different feel.

No matter when, this feeling never numbs a person.

Fang Yu sighed, looking at the undulating mountains, "Now that secret realms are proliferating, my cultivation cannot possibly improve in a short time... Only by slowly navigating through the secret realms can I solve this problem. I have been in this secret realm for seventy years and am familiar with many fierce beasts, so you need not worry."

The two remained silent.

After a long pause, Ye Wenjun finally said, "I'll go with you."

Fang Yu couldn't help but be startled.

He didn't expect her to make this request.

"No way..."

"Why?"

"In fact, I practice a special cultivation technique, one that makes my life resilient, with my Primordial Qi continuously flowing. This Qi is extremely special; it allows me to resist the erosion of time. The reason I've never told you this is that I don't even know what kind of cultivation this truly is... The path ahead is full of hope, but also bristling with thorns…" Fang Yu said lightly.

Ye Wenjun shook her head slightly in disappointment.

Recalling their first meeting, she said, "The future is full of thorns, so... back then when you proposed to annul the engagement, it was to not drag me down, right?"

Fang Yu smiled.

"The path I walk is destined to be different. Back then, you were just an ordinary person, while I might live for two hundred, three hundred, even four hundred years, or even a thousand... I cannot bear to see the one I love grow old before me in a century; I cannot bear to watch a youthful girl with a peerless face and black hair turn into a hunched old woman with gray hair."

Without knowing why.

Ye Wenjun felt an inexplicable stir in her heart.

She hadn't felt this way for a long time; it was different from any other time she chatted with Fang Yu.

This was a heartbeat that went straight to the heart.

"Yet you later chose me anyway..." Ye Wenjun said.

"That's because I can't bear to walk alone in solitude... If one day I live for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even five thousand years, and when I turn back, there's not a familiar person by my side. This kind of loneliness frightens me." Fang Yu looked at Ye Wenjun with a smile in his eyes, "Remember, Ye Wenjun... this life you belong only to me, you can only choose me, you have no choice... I'm determined to have my share of the softness in the Ye Family!"

At the moment he finished speaking—

Fang Yu leaped, jumping into the cliff.

Although not a farewell of life and death.

But when she saw Fang Yu's figure rapidly falling, Ye Wenjun still couldn't help but extend her white arms.

She reached out... but only grasped the air.

"I'll wait for you to return, just one week... As long as I'm here, no one can step into Tiandu Hall!" Ye Wenjun regained her composure.

The bright sun shone high.

Reflecting her slender figure on the damaged stone wall.

...

Meanwhile.

As Fang Yu was rapidly falling, he immediately mobilized his Primordial Qi to form a Vigorous Qi Shield.

In terms of physics, falling down is a free fall motion, meaning the speed would get faster and faster!

To control the speed, Fang Yu occasionally used the Vigorous Qi to slap the surrounding air.

Boom!

Boom! Roaring sounds erupted now and then.

At the beginning, Ye Wenjun could still hear it, but later not at all.

Fang Yu didn't know how long he had been falling, this feeling was completely different from when he first fell off the cliff. The first time he had completely given up resistance and was beaten down with lots of luck involved. This time he came prepared, yet felt restless.

Who knows how long passed.

Fang Yu then felt the air becoming oppressive.

Breathing also became slightly difficult.

This was because it was too deeply recessed, even oxygen was in short supply.

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh!

The friction in the air constantly weakened the Vigorous Qi Shield.

Fang Yu frowned slightly and thought to himself, "At this rate, I might be rubbed to death by the air before reaching the bottom!"

He didn't know how deep this cliff was.

An abyss with no bottom is elusive.

After falling for a while longer.

Using the effect of slapping the air, Fang Yu's descent speed increased geometrically, and his whole body seemed to fall like a meteor!

Buzz!

Sparks flew from the air friction.

Buzz, buzz…

Fang Yu felt the surroundings become hot, as the friction intensified, it was no wonder it was hot.

"If this continues, I might turn to ashes!" Fang Yu said, frowning.

Really strange, how did I get down last time!? This time it's so difficult!

"Never mind! Dragon Trace Sacred Armor!" Fang Yu shouted.

The colorful armor appeared all over his body.

Sadly no one could witness this, otherwise... they would definitely think a celestial being had descended from the sky.

Buzz!

Boom!

A huge tongue of flame emerged.

Like a meteor striking Earth.

Even with the Dragon Trace Sacred Armor protecting him, Fang Yu still felt the intense heat wave.

What to do!

Reaching the deepest point, there seemed to be some distance left! The speed had already reached an exaggerated level.

Fang Yu frowned, pondering slightly, "Luckily, I have plenty of Primordial Qi! Once more!"

Swaying his hands left and right!

Huge waves continuously rolled out.

Relying on the Primordial Qi painfully slapped out, Fang Yu's speed slowed, even suspending briefly in mid-air before continuing to fall!

Repeating like this, over and over!

The descent process lasted a full half an hour before Fang Yu saw a dark forest with a faint blue glow.

"Is this the bottom?!" Fang Yu's face lit up with joy!

Once again mobilizing his Inner Essence!
