Chapter 114: 100 Chapters - Farewell to the Homeland (End of Volume 1)_1

Fourth Realm, Northern Qi.

Lake’s lone island.

"Splash!"

A pristine Heavenly Spirit Tower suddenly emerged from the shattered rocks, drifting amidst the "Mysterious Fog" that shrouded the sky curtain.

The bottom of the White Tower was lined with Spirit Jade by Luo Hongyan, who utilized the array within it and gained control of the tower.

"Finally succeeded."

Her soul spirit form stood in front of the first floor’s gate, steering the White Tower to fly towards Pang Jian’s location.

She saw at a glance that Pang Jian, with spirit stones in both hands, had unexpectedly collapsed onto the ground.

"Pang Jian!"

The anxious Luo Hongyan didn’t wait for the White Tower to fly above Pang Jian’s head but flew out of the tower ahead of time.

A moment later, she arrived in front of Pang Jian.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Pang Jian’s breathing was very even, and his qi and blood were also abundant; he had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

"Asleep, you really do trust me."

Luo Hongyan, now at ease, pursed her lips and gently smiled as she watched Pang Jian, who was sound asleep.

Scenes of her time with Pang Jian in Bagua City quietly flowed through her mind, and a faint smile adorned her lips.

"If you had fallen into such a deep sleep when we first met, I would have tried everything to tear off the bronze doors on your chest to understand their secrets."

She said with a chuckle as she reminisced.

After spending this period together, her initial thoughts had long dissipated, and her curiosity towards the secret hidden by the bronze token was merely faint.

— She had long abandoned the idea of seizing it.

Now that she had the "Crystal-clear Snow Lotus," as long as she gathered a few more scarce spiritual materials, she could forge a brand new body for herself; she no longer yearned for the Phoenix Marrow.

She remained by Pang Jian’s side, occasionally glancing at him and observing the movements of the "Mysterious Fog."

Time silently slipped by.

After nightfall, Wulan Lake, shrouded by the "Mysterious Fog," plunged into a darkness similar to that of Bagua City.

Thankfully, the Heavenly Spirit Tower, originating from the Yin Spirit Temple, radiated light in the pitch-black night, preventing total darkness.

By the glow of the White Tower, she looked at the sleeping Pang Jian and couldn’t help feeling a bit heartbroken.

"The battle in Bagua City and the wits and courage needed to contend with those guys from the Second Realm exhausted his mind and spirit,"

Luo Hongyan softly sighed, feeling that Pang Jian’s weariness was partly because she didn’t have a physical body and couldn’t help much.

"This won’t do. The people from the Upper Realm might come down to investigate. It’s best to leave Solitude Mountain Range as soon as possible."

She murmured to herself in the darkness.

The calamity of Bagua City had ended, and people like Dong Tianze, Qi Qingsong, and Li Jie had also successfully left.

In the last stages within the mansion, Pang Jian was filled with the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm, sowing seeds of doubt in the minds of Qi Qingsong, Dong Tianze, and Li Jie, making them suspect he was in collusion with the Different Kinds from the Fifth Realm.

Luo Hongyan was worried about the survivors from the Upper Realm and feared that because of Yuan Lengshan’s death, the powerful individuals from the Demon Heart Sect might be startled and might come down in search of the truth.

When daylight came, due to the existence of the "Mysterious Fog," the sky remained dim and gloomy.

"Huff! Huff!"

Two storage rings, originally belonging to Lan Xi and Yuan Lengshan, suddenly flew out from the White Tower and dexterously slipped onto Pang Jian’s wrists, dragging the sleeping man into flight.

Soon, Pang Jian was pulled by the two rings to the base of the White Tower.

The Spirit Jade from Lan Xi and Yuan Lengshan of the Second Realm filled the White Tower with Spiritual Power, and as the sleeping Pang Jian landed, he instinctively began to absorb the pure Spiritual Power.

This seemed like an instinct.

"Even asleep, you haven’t forgotten to replenish your Spiritual Sea with power."

Luo Hongyan watched him and smiled.

After a while, the White Tower slowly took off.

Luo Hongyan dared not break through the sky curtain covered by "Mysterious Fog," instead flying southward, intending to leave the Solitude Mountain Range and all of Northern Qi from the south.

She also knew that Pang Jian, along with Zhou Qingchen, Ning Yao, and others, had entered from the southernmost side.

After a while, the White Tower left Lake Heart Island and also departed from Wulan Lake.

The gray ape, whose size continued to grow more massive, slowly appeared in the spot where the "Mysterious Fog" had once invaded the lake. It now stood mountainously tall, with most of its body still hidden within the depths of the "Mysterious Fog."

With a pair of ice blue, unusual eyes, it watched the Heavenly Spirit Tower as it receded into the distance, as though seeing off the person inside the tower.

No one knew how long it had been there in the depths of the "Mysterious Fog."

This scene was completely unbeknownst to Luo Hongyan.

With the abundant supply of Spirit Jade, she released control of the White Tower, traveling from the north toward the south of the Solitude Mountain Range.

Insect Valley, Black Water Pool, and the location of the withered vines were all swiftly passed by the White Tower.

The White Tower would occasionally pause.

At these times, she would extend her Divine Sense to sense the life around her, but she found no abnormalities in those three regions, nor signs of powerful beings.

Soon, the White Tower flew out of Solitude Mountain Range and stopped above the three stone cottages where Pang Jian and his sister had once lived.

"Still not awake, huh?"

Luo Hongyan looked down and saw Pang Jian was still sleeping. Sighing, she said, "Well then, we’ll talk when you return someday."

The White Tower then drifted past.

During this time, she was surprised to discover that "Mysterious Fog" was always present in the sky and did not disappear simply because she had left the Solitude Mountain Range!

Only when she reached the southernmost part of Northern Qi did the "Mysterious Fog" that existed in the sky finally begin to droop towards the land.

At this moment, Luo Hongyan finally understood that the "Mysterious Fog" was not just covering the sky of Northern Qi, but enveloped the entire Northern Qi!

"I must take the risk of going out, no matter what I will encounter!"

She sensed that something was amiss.

Staring at the grey "Mysterious Fog," she huddled inside the White Tower, continuing to propel the White Tower forward.

She took out the White Jade Porcelain Bottle, ready to enter it if things turned dire.

If the situation was really too dangerous, she planned to use the "Crystal-clear Snow Lotus" to prematurely refine her bones, even if it meant having an incomplete skeletal body.

The White Tower quickly entered the "Mysterious Fog," and she lost all perception; any Divine Sense she released was dissolved.

She could not hear any sound, see anything within the White Tower, or even know whether the White Tower was still flying forward.

After a long period of torment.

"Pfft!"

The White Tower finally safely left the area shrouded by the "Mysterious Fog" and emerged from the fragmented land known as Northern Qi into the normal world of the Fourth Realm.

It was also at this moment that Pang Jian, who had been in a deep sleep for a long time, finally slowly awoke.

Luo Hongyan, who had let out a relieved breath upon seeing him awake, scolded, "You scared me to death. I thought I was going to die in the Mysterious Fog."

Pang Jian, who had shifted from lying down to sitting up, still had images from what he had seen previously flashing through his mind.

—The pitiful sight of many powerful creatures from the Fifth Realm, their corpses and skeletons scattered across the vast wasteland, dying tragically in their attempts to ascend to the heavens.

The just-awakened Pang Jian probably hadn’t quite recovered his senses yet.

Luo Hongyan didn’t rush him and quietly watched him by the side, waiting for him to sort out his thoughts.

The White Tower, having left the "Mysterious Fog," lingered in place under Luo Hongyan’s command without moving.

It wasn’t until a long while later that Pang Jian regained his composure and turned to ask Luo Hongyan, "How long have I been asleep?"

"A long time, really a long time."

Luo Hongyan smiled gently and said, "You must have been really exhausted, your mental and spiritual energy drained. You are still at a low level, without a condensed Divine Sense, and once you relaxed, you couldn’t help but fall asleep."

Pang Jian remained silent.

He knew that the immense drain on his mental and spiritual energy was entirely because, though he was in the Fourth Realm, he had secretly connected with the Dark Giant Python to spy on the Fifth Realm.

Pang Jian, without explaining, began to check his condition and immediately discovered that his Spiritual Sea was full of Spiritual Power.

Thereupon, he stood up from his sitting position, moved to the doorway of this level of the White Tower, and immediately saw the grey "Mysterious Fog," right before his eyes, enveloping a piece of land.

"What is this?"

Pang Jian was startled.

"The Fragmented World where you used to live."

Luo Hongyan didn’t hide it from him and smiled, "That disaster ended after you and Li Jie left. When you were in Bagua City, your body was filled with the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm, and I worried that someone might suspect your identity."

"Moreover, I didn’t know the Mysterious Fog had completely enveloped Northern Qi. Anyway, I took you and flew out."

Pang Jian was momentarily stunned.

Originally, he had thought of having Luo Hongyan steer the White Tower to the Extreme North Land to take a look once he had accumulated enough Spiritual Power in his body.

But upon waking, he found himself already away from Northern Qi.

"If you want to come and take a look later, it’s not impossible, but for the near future... it’s best not to," Luo Hongyan said, seeing his regret. "It seems that you have never left Northern Qi. Why don’t you take this opportunity to explore the entire Fourth Realm properly?"

The White Tower abruptly changed its heading. fгeewebnovёl.com

Pang Jian stood at the doorway, unmoving, but saw the scene before him suddenly change, with Northern Qi, shrouded in "Mysterious Fog," disappearing, replaced by various floating fragments of small lands.

Many lands of different sizes, some connected to each other by narrow stone bridges, while others had no connecting structures at all.

Some seemingly very small sailboats moved like snails between these lands, appearing to carry people and goods.

"This place..."

Pang Jian, frowning, looked forward at the spectacle and said, "Are these fragments of land, just like Northern Qi, part of the multitude of Fragmented Worlds that make up the Fourth Realm?"

Luo Hongyan nodded with a smile, "The areas you see, those pieces of Fragmented World, are all under the control of the Ning Family."

Pang Jian fell silent, suddenly feeling lost.

Moments later, he looked spiritedly towards the overcast sky, gazing at the clouds where the two continents were located, and said, "Can the Heavenly Spirit Tower reach the Third Realm?"

"It can," Luo Hongyan nodded gently, then said, "But I don’t recommend that you go there now."

Pang Jian instantly fell silent, probably knowing what she would say, feeling that it was inappropriate upon further thought.

"Pang Jian, don’t rush to the Third Realm for now. There are places in the Fourth Realm that are suitable for you. Believe me, it’s better for us to stay in the Fourth Realm for the time being. You have just entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm and still need to collect Spiritual Materials to continue refining your body."

Luo Hongyan advised earnestly.

"Where would be suitable for me?" Pang Jian asked.

Luo Hongyan paused for a moment and chuckled lightly, "Do you still remember the Dark Ghosts?"

Pang Jian said, "I remember."

"I killed Hong Tai, and I got some secrets about the Dark Ghosts from him. We’ll go to the places where the Dark Ghosts are active," Luo Hongyan hesitated for a moment and then said, "I also need to reforge my flesh and body, and perhaps we can find the necessary materials among the Dark Ghosts. I’ll need your help."

"Oh."
