Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 573 - 571: Another Suspected Void Nine-headed Insect Breeding Ground? The Appearance of Turbulent Gale!

Powerful and strange!

Collecting her thoughts, Xiao Yudie said, "Don’t misunderstand, I genuinely came to seek collaboration with you because I believe that with your strength, the two of us working together is most suitable."

"I saw you know Yuanyang Saint Son, why not ask him to be your partner?" Lu Ye pondered for a moment and asked the question on his mind.

"If I say, I think you’re stronger than him... you wouldn’t think I’m joking, right?" Xiao Yudie said with a slight gritting of teeth.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yu nodded slightly, acknowledging the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess hadn’t misjudged.

Lu Ye deliberated for a moment before nodding, "Alright, your reason has convinced me. Tell me more about that unique place you mentioned."

Xiao Yudie said, "The Third Layer is even larger than the Second Layer, vast and boundless, with many peculiar places appearing within."

"The place I know of is in the southwest, within a valley, shrouded in dense fog, and there is a Gravity Array present."

"Besides some opportunities in there, I suspect there might be hidden dangers too! Within that fog, I’ve sensed crises more than once."

As Xiao Yudie introduced the situation, a faint uneasiness began to surface in Lu Ye’s mind.

This situation... why does it somewhat resemble the setup seen before with the Void Nine-headed Insect?

Could it be that one of those disgusting creatures is also present, slowly growing inside?

"Is there a really large medicine garden inside, with plenty of high-tier spirit medicine planted?" Lu Ye asked, coming to his senses.

"Huh, how do you know that, did you visit there?" Xiao Yudie asked curiously.

"The place you’re talking about, I’ve never been there, but I have visited a similar one before." Lu Ye didn’t hide it, saying seriously, "I suspect there might be a... Void Nine-headed Insect inside."

"What? Void Nine-headed Insect?!" Suddenly, Xiao Yudie seemed to have heard something terrifying, and she was startled.

Of course, she was aware of this creature, but she had only ever heard of it as a rumor before.

Now hearing someone say it truly exists, and she might have even been close to one...

The Saintess was frightened!

"Of course, this is just my speculation, it might not be true." Lu Ye added a note, after thinking it over.

It’s possible it might not be the case.

"True, my idea is for you and I to join forces to go and take a look?" Xiao Yudie said, "If we could open a few more medicine gardens, we’d have cultivation resources for quite some time."

As she spoke, Xiao Yudie glanced at Qing Yu, who was standing beside Lu Ye, curiously asking, "Who might this be?"

Before Lu Ye could speak, Qing Yu introduced herself first, "I am the Young Master’s maid; my name is Qing Yu."

Maid?

Not even...

The impression Qing Yu gave Xiao Yudie, although not threatening, was that she was a quite powerful Earth Realm cultivator.

What is this guy’s background, to use an Earth Realm person as a maid?!

"So, she’s Fellow Daoist Chen’s maid; if convenient, join us." Xiao Yudie nodded, putting aside her guesses, and said aloud.

"You lead the way, then, time is of the essence, let’s head over and take a look." Lu Ye said.

Xiao Yudie promptly set off, transforming into a stream of light heading forward.

Her speed was not very fast, clearly considerate of Qing Yu, who was only slightly over Earth Realm, so that Qing Yu could easily keep up.

The trio’s luck was not particularly good; after less than five hundred miles, Xiao Yudie’s expression suddenly changed dramatically while leading the way.

"Stop! Quickly find somewhere to hide! A storm is coming!"

Glancing around, Xiao Yudie immediately led the two, retreating to the side and arriving in front of a giant black rock.

"Quick, raise a barrier! This chaotic wind is powerful, if you’re not careful, even Earth or Celestial Realm cultivators could get a layer of skin peeled off by it."

Reaching the black rock, Xiao Yudie didn’t relax but continued to speak quickly.

At this moment, the distant sky had changed color, becoming overwhelmingly dark, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth was oppressive and heavy.

Fine sand and stones were being carried into the air by the wind, rustling loudly, clearly foreshadowing that something was about to happen.

Barrier?

Hearing Xiao Yudie’s words and seeing her instantly raise a celestial-level barrier encasing the three of them, Lu Ye thought for a moment, condensed Source Qi, and slightly shrank the barrier more, encompassing the three again.

As for Qing Yu, she felt her strength wasn’t on par with the others and didn’t initially intend to act.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yudie softly said, "Qing Yu, you join in too, when this chaotic wind passes, it will be a sustained damage; our barriers might not hold, so an extra layer is extra insurance."

"Alright." Hearing this, Qing Yu nodded immediately, congregating an Earth Realm barrier on the outermost of the three-layered barrier.

After all, her strength was the weakest, so it was best if she could first weaken the intensity of the chaotic wind a bit.

Just after the three of them set up their barriers, the distant horizon’s commotion further escalated.

You could now see not just black clouds in the sky, but also, on the ground, it seemed like a giant whirlwind spanning a vast area was advancing with terrifying momentum towards them!

For a moment, the flying sand and stones on the ground became incredibly violent, with a large amount of debris being sucked into the high-speed moving, enormous vortex storm surrounding them!

"Just looking at it is terrifying, any cultivator caught in this environment, once sucked into the vortex, is practically doomed." Qing Yu’s face was serious as she watched the horrifying scene unfold.

She felt that if she were sucked in, she would have an eighty percent chance of not making it out.

This chaotic wind is not an ordinary one, its power is much greater.

Even cultivators struggle to break free easily, hence the fear it instills in many powerful cultivators.

Xiao Yudie’s expression was also extremely serious; the intensity of the Third Layer’s chaos was far more terrifying than the Second Layer’s, and even she was unsure if she could withstand it.

However, Xiao Yudie still comforted them by saying, "We have three barriers, so we should largely be fine."

Upon this, Lu Ye glanced at the powerful chaotic storm approaching rapidly, nearly blotting out the sky, and said nothing.

This chaos... it’s indeed somewhat terrifying.

Moreover, this isn’t it in its full form yet; once it reaches full form, the surrounding suction will not only be terrifying, but spatial rifts will also appear!

This is the origin of the term ’spatial chaos’.

Rumble!!

At this moment, the oppressive whirlwind from a distance drew closer once again.
