Chapter 618: Chapter 503: A Narrow Road Meeting + Chapter 504: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Upon arriving at Yuntai Town, three Cloud Swallowing Horses had already been prepared.

This clearly displayed Su Lianxue’s attentiveness, as well as her dedication to her beloved disciple.

The Cloud Swallowing Horse is not considered a Demon Horse, but it has been nursed and fed since it was young, which has awakened some spiritual wisdom in it, making it smarter than the average Thousand-mile Horse – it is one of the signature mounts of the Cloud Water Sect.

Zhou Ping’an chose a majestic dark green horse, Lin Huaiyu rode a white horse, and Bai He, not too particular, picked a brown horse, expressing slight disdain: "The speed is still a bit slow; it is far less efficient than if we were to fully employ our movement technique to travel..."

Thinking of the enormous consumption of True Yuan and the ease of mental exhaustion when using the movement technique to its full extent, Bai He ridiculed himself:

"If only there were sufficient spiritual energy here, then catching a flying Demon Beast to ride would truly be comfortable."

Zhou Ping’an, however, was quite content.

He normally didn’t even have a Cloud Swallowing Horse to ride.

When he last left the mountain, his identity status wasn’t high enough, and even if Su Lianxue wanted to request a horse from the sect for him, she couldn’t meddle without cause, to avoid criticism from other Elders who might accuse her of private bias, favoring her own interests.

But now it was different. With the combat power and potential that Zhou Ping’an had demonstrated on the mountain, even if he didn’t accompany him down, the ambitious Elders and disciples would not want to offend him without good reason.

Therefore, it wasn’t difficult to get a few prized horses approved by the Sect Leader.

"The third Spirit Tide is also drawing near; by that time, who knows how many Demons and Evil Spirits will emerge. At that time, catching one or two flying demonic creatures won’t be hard."

Zhou Ping’an replied with a smile.

He thought to himself that Bai He seems still to find it hard to adjust to the spiritual energy depletion of this world, which has been apparent ever since they met, as he hasn’t practiced cultivation even once.

Not only can he not cultivate, but he also has to seal off part of his Realm on a daily basis.

Perhaps that is the reason why experts of the True Martial Late Stage who reside in the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land are reluctant to appear in this world.

Not to mention the Divine Martial Realm.

Those would rather die than come here.

And it’s not that they can’t come over...

Probably, in their eyes, it’s like being in a vast world and then entering a small cage, unable to even stand up straight, let alone stretch out and fight.

Bai He must have been truly bored on the other side, hence his wish to look for opportunities here.

Otherwise, Zhou Ping’an wouldn’t have had a chance to meet him.

Upon hearing Zhou Ping’an’s words, Bai He chuckled, "That’s true. As long as the third Spirit Tide arrives, the spiritual energy in the void will be sufficient to support our full power. I’m looking forward to it... No, I seem to recall big brother mentioning that Monk Xuan Ming from Brahma Temple faced defeat in Guangyun County and has now become our sworn enemy."

He slapped his head, "Oh no, I understand the tactics of the Brahma Temple. They usually bring their allies and swarm in if you provoke one of their disciples. I was once chased for thousands of miles until I managed to escape..."

"Big brother, looking at it this way, you can’t afford to wait for the third Spirit Tide. With time, more problems may arise, and it’s likely that we’ll be outnumbered."

"The best course of action is to break through to the True Martial level before the third Spirit Tide and eradicate the Brahma Temple from this world, only then can we surpass this calamity."

Hmm...

Zhou Ping’an was quite amazed internally.

He wasn’t surprised by Bai He’s demeanor.

But he was puzzled about the Heavenly Cave of the Brahma Temple.

"Does the Brahma Temple also exist within the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land? That mountain... That Blessed Land?"

"Didn’t I tell you? Oh, it seems I forgot to mention the specific distribution of powers within the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land to big brother. Inside, there’s a dense sea of factions from large and small sects and families. Our Cloud Water Sect is considered a major sect, yet it only occupies a small corner.

Other powers like Brahma Temple, Pure Yang Sect, Penglai Sect all have their famous sacred grounds, and there are countless other forces that rise and fall from day to day. Speaking of which, the major World Families of this world also possess their own secret pathways to enter the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, otherwise, they couldn’t support the status of a World Family."

"So that’s how it is."

Zhou Ping’an started to understand.

He had always heard people mention the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, thinking it was a private domain.

Yet, it turned out to be common to all, each power occupying just a small corner.

Can such a place still be called a Heavenly Cave?

It might as well be a small world.

No, if it were really like what Bai He described, with powers laid out like stars in the sky and the Heavenly Cave so vast it has no boundaries, then it couldn’t even be considered just a small world. Which is the larger world? That’s another question.

He voiced this doubt.

Bai He laughed upon hearing it: "It can’t be said like that. If one goes by the vastness of the area, indeed, it can’t be called a Heavenly Cave, but as the elders tell it, that Heavenly Cave Blessed Land was created by Yuanhai Taoist many years ago, and everything within it, including its millions of details, was evolved from the will of Yuanhai Taoist. Although the spiritual energy is plentiful, there is a deficit in spiritual nature, hence it can only be called a Heavenly Cave, not a proper world."

He knew Zhou Ping’an might not have encountered such things before.

Scratching his head and thinking it over, he continued, "Spiritual nature is something naturally generated by heaven and earth, the reason why the saying goes, ’All things are endowed with spirit.’ The various worlds of the void highly value worlds that have been naturally created by heaven and earth, precisely because this natural spiritual nature is very hard to create...

Of course, that’s not to say it’s impossible. Legends tell of ancient powers who might be able to create a true big world where all things possess spiritual nature..."

"And besides, this world," Bai He looked up at the sky, "is far from being as small as we see. Canghai is just a small corner, separate from each other. Look, big brother, each star in the sky represents a world."
