"The South Sea's Guixu Ruins… . " Fang Xing lowered his head and pondered with an inscrutable expression .
"Legend has it the South Sea's Guixu Ruins was once the site of an ancient sect for Dao, the Daoism of Taishang," the golden crow continued, "The site was once so popular it could even be said they were one of the best in the entire world, but for some unknown reasons, it later violated the heavens and was struck by heaven's thunder for a total of thirty-three days . Numerous disciples were left dead or wounded, everything they had was reduced to nothing, and this location became a peculiar existence . The remnants of Dao and the broken sky left the heavens in disorder, leading to it being sealed off .
"The place is as well known as other secret places, such as the Jade Lake, Demon Abyss, or Beast Tower . It's so absurd and mysterious even Budding Soul Stage cultivators are unable to search out the secrets of this place, and in the past tens of thousand of years, the only people who would risk their lives and try their luck inside were those who had absolutely no other choice or who wanted to discover the foundational knowledge concerning the Daoism of Taishang . "
"Not a single person has gotten out?" Fang Xing asked in shock .
The golden crow shook his head . "It's not absolute, though . I once read in an ancient script that when the nine coffins landed three thousand years ago, the entire fortune of the heavens and earth changed, causing a crack to open within the Guixu Ruins that allowed a few people to escape . It is because of these people we're able to understand some of what's going on within, but aside from that, no one has ever come out again . The South Sea's Guixu Ruins allows people to enter but not leave; this is the consensus of this realm, so you better not have any thoughts of trying to luck it out somehow… . "
"That's not going to work, then . Let's find another way… . " Fang Xing became serious after hearing all of this and he absolutely refused to go to that damned placed now .
While the two of them discussed some other place he might be able to flee to that might muddle the heavens and earth, Fang Xing suddenly sensed some an oncoming crisis, and after using Mystic Eye towards the north, he noticed a faint red shadow coming closer at an extremely great speed . When he recognized what the red shadow actually was, he jumped in terror and quickly called out to the golden crow, "Sh*t, why did that crazy dragon come after me? Quick, run, quick!" He'd seen the insane battle prowess of this crazed dragon, and it was simply terrifying . He'd thought he managed to get away safely, but who would have thought this thing would come chasing? Fang Xing and the golden crow both shouted in surprise and started fleeing towards the south to avoid being swallowed up .
The red dragon was simply too fast, even faster than the dragon girl . The golden crow's body was extremely sturdy and he'd studied the Peng clan's secret skill to the point ordinary late-stage Golden Cores would be forced to eat his dust whenever they chased after him, but he was unable to get rid of his pursuer this time around . The crazed dragon flew through the vast skies, so quickly it caused a huge thunderstorm to form behind it .
"My god, what is this crazy dragon chasing us for!" the golden crow mournfully cried . His two wings were flapping so hard a thin layer of golden flame could be seen overtop his feathers .
"Didn't we already make a turn? How did this wild dog find us?" Fang Xing shouted while hastily rising to his feet and activating the unnamed technique to cover their traces . The smoke surrounded him and the golden crow before long, making them much safer—the crazed dragon stopped and mindlessly searched about as though he'd lost his sense of direction .
The golden crow took the opportunity to fly off at a great speed while Fang Xing shouted, "Good! Seems like that crazy dragon is indeed chasing after us, but he won't be able to sense us once we cover up our auras!" Regardless, Fang Xing didn't drop his guard . Using this unnamed skill required a large amount of Qi, . and although he'd managed to use it again, he didn't have very much and wouldn't be able to keep it up for very long .
Just as expected, the skill reached its limits after just a hundred miles out . The blue fog vanished and the red dragon started chasing once more .
"Dammit, that wild dog's tracking us . Goldy, fly faster!" Fang Xing yelled . There wasn't anything more agonizing than being eyed by this thing .
After being in the cultivation realm for so many years causing who knows how much chaos and havoc and fleeing from however many would-be deaths, Fang Xing most certainly couldn't be considered a newcomer by now and he quickly started to hatch a plan . Although the crazed dragon seemed confused, he'd clearly locked on to Fang Xing and the golden crow—it wasn't that the red dragon was chasing after the wrong person, and it might even be possible he was specifically targeting Fang Xing . Regardless, Fang Xing and the golden crow had made a detour, so how did he catch up to them? Was there something else that was drawing him in the entire time?
While Fang Xing was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered the bead . Using the light of the bead, Fang Xing had been able to easily break through all the formations the dragon girl had placed in the Colored Glass Palace, so the bead had to have a very close connection to those of the Dragon Palace . Perhaps it was the aura of this bead that had caused the crazed dragon to chase after them? With this in mind, Fang Xing quickly began to search all over himself, hoping to find the bead as quickly as possible to throw it away and see if it would lure the dragon elsewhere .
Fang Xing searched, but sweat began to form on his forehead—the bead was nowhere to be found . It was only then that he remembered how he'd kept the bead in his mouth in order to fuse with its power to break through the formations . He recalled how the strong dragon girl had abruptly grasped and firmly kissed him, and he'd been so desperate to protect his own purity that he… ended up swallowing the bead?
