Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 296. Foreign Place

Guan Xing stood outside Shi Jun Hui's house. From where he stood, it sounded the owner of the house was chatting. The sound of their laughter signified how harmonious this family was.

"Come in, Grandpa Dimple!" yang Yin Excited.

Guan Xing's body Eve was able to recognize him despite being behind the door and not being seen directly. The Dragon Goddess instinct was so strong, she could recognize the pure air of a person from a great distance though.

Guan Xing was startled then walked over to the unlocked door of the house. From inside the house, appeared Yu Ruo who opened the door for him.

"Come in, Xing'er!"

"Thank you," Xing'er replied as she paid her respects to Yu Ruo then walked past her.

Yu Ruo closed the door and rejoined his family who were preparing to go to the dining room. They asked Guan Xing to go to the dining room with them.

"Xing'er, it looks like you came not just to visit. Do you want to say something?" ask Shi Jun Hui.

"I invited him to come, Cake. There are some things I want to talk to him about. This matter has to do with green man."

Everyone stared at Fang Yin with different reactions. They finished their breakfast quickly and returned to the main room to talk.

Fang Yin explained everything to his family about his plan. Plans were quite risky, but that was the only path one could take to obtain the Nine-star Dragon Scripture opening jade.

"North Land is famous for its mysteries. There are many ancient tombs there. Very often the cultivators who were hunting for treasures obtained many items from there. However, not a few also died in vain and went home with names only," Shi Han Wu explained.

The old man also said that he had never heard of green man. When visiting the place a few years ago, he only found the attitude of the residents who look mysterious. Shi Han Wu stopped for a while and left without any interest in hunting artifacts in the ancient tomb.

Guan Xing told me. He and the glacier tribe live on the edge of the not-so-crowded Northern Mainland region. They blend in with the immigrant clans that inhabit the territory. Before they lived there, there were already many residents who inhabited the Northern Mainland.

The people who lived there did not dare to mention or tell the green man blatantly. Everyone was very careful in speaking.

Guan Xing was surrounded by the serious faces of the Shi family. They were so tense listening to her story. There was so much new they knew about the Northern Land from him.

"Very mysterious. So that's your reason for attacking your own house? Foolish boy, you should have spoken well to us. Patriarch Shi was indeed a little harsh but could be discussed. If from the very beginning of your arrival you meet us, there might not be any bloodshed here," Shi Jun Hui said regretting what had happened.

"I am guilty. How could you have allowed me to come visit that time. Don't you remember if I also chased after Yu Ruo?" joked Guan Xing.

Shi Jun Hui waved his fist at Guan Xing's chest quietly while laughing.

"I have a granddaughter I can count on right now. You can't do anything else, Xing'er!"

Shi Han Wu also seemed willing to see Yu Ruo happy with his twin brother. He thought that the happiness felt by his loved ones was more important than his selfish attitude. Feelings cannot be forced and love will choose its own destiny.

After a long chat, Fang Yin and Guan Xing agreed to go to the Northern Mainland in two more days. The three of them went with Jian Heng, while Shi Han Wu replaced Guan Xing's duties temporarily, where he had to stay in the middle of the new ice tribe.

Although his eyes were blind, but his abilities could be said to exceed that of a normal human. With Shi Han Wu in existence then Guan Xing's men would feel at ease. They will not lose the figure of the leader who went to pick up their family.

The building materials to complete their home have not been fulfilled. Patriarch Shi was sending some villagers to look for him outside the Silver Mountain region.

For two days, Fang Yin and Jian Heng often spent time with Guan Xing to dig up a lot about the Northern Mainland. They learn everything to the smallest.

Their togetherness made them more familiar. Emotional closeness is also awakened between them and agree to cooperate with each other during their time in the Northern Mainland.

Guan Xing initially felt afraid to enter into the territory of the green man. However, after seeing Fang Yin's spirit and courage, he changed his mind. The three of them agreed to break the green man ban and hoped to be arrested and taken to their place.

As a mother, Consort Shi was very worried about Fang Yin. He was forced to give up his disappearance because he had no other way to obtain the opening jade of the Nine-star Book of Nine Dragons.

Lots of stuff prepared for his daughter. All sorts of medicines as well as equipment needed during her time there, were provided by Consort Shi. There were so many items that Fang Yin did not think were important, but he did not want to disappoint his mother and still bring her along.

Jian Heng took out the groceries he had stored and asked Shi Jun Hui to share them with the surrounding residents. I don't know when he'll be back from the North. Their journey may not take long, but it cannot be estimated how long they will be there.

Time passes so fast. The day of departure arrived. Before the sun was too high, they left the Silver Mountain region.

All the citizens of Perak Mountain drove the three to the border. They were not told of their true purpose. The inhabitants of Perak Mountain only knew if they went to pick up the glacier tribe that was going back there.

The three left quickly. At first glance they look like they are walking casually, but their steps become very fast. In this way, they would reach the Northern Mainland before sunset.

Their strong desire makes things easy. There were no significant obstacles on their way. During the journey, they only stopped once to open the supplies and eat them.

They did not rest too long because they wanted to get to the Northern Mainland before nightfall. The hot weather in autumn does not dampen their steps until the place they are headed to is already visible in the distance.

"The North Land is just below the pagoda," Guan Xing pointed out.

The distance between where they were standing right now with the pagoda pointed out by Guan Xing was about five kilometers. The sun is still at high altitude and it takes about two to three hours to sink.

They can relax a little and slow down their pace.

"Grandfather Dimple, is there in the North Mainland a good food seller?" asked Fang Yin silly.

"of course. But do not expect the seller will be friendly to you. They are very rigid and have a cold attitude towards anyone."

"You're all there is, Yin'er. What is the importance of good food or not? As long as we're hungry we can eat anything voraciously." Jian Heng let out a long breath.

"I think in a spooky place there's no food."

Fang Yin's words made Guan Xing and Jian Heng laugh.

"Although they look scary, they are still humans who have hunger, Silly Girls," said Guan Xing.

The three of them laughed together. However, something strange made the three have to stop.

They are currently about a kilometer from the Northern Mainland region. The originally clear sky suddenly turned dark. Black clouds accompanied by lightning enveloped the sky.

The night had not yet come, but it looked like night. The difference in air pressure around them resulted in whirlwinds appearing in several places. The whirlwind mostly became large and some disappeared being blown away by the larger vortex wave.

'This incident is similar to the situation I saw in my dream. Is there a great power that will really rise up behind this event?' Fang Yin closed his eyes trying to sense the aura of energy that caused this chaos.

Guan Xing and Jian Heng looked at each other then looked back at Fang Yin seriously. Both feel nothing and think that this event is purely a natural occurrence.

Fang Yin was silent for a while. After sensing something huge emerging from an energy center, he jumped into the air. Jian Heng and Guan Xing followed him without asking much. There was no time for casual chatting anymore. Fang Yin's serious face made the two feel disinclined to tease her.

Fang Yin landed on a place that was at a height. It looks like the ruins of an ancient building. He stood on a large chunk of stone like the top of a pillar.

Jian Heng and Guan Xing stood beside him. The two of them followed Fang Yin's gaze which looked at an old gate.

The gate that had two pillars connecting into one did not reveal anything strange. Around him there were no buildings, only a few dwarf trees and shrubs growing around him. While under the gate pillar there is a stone staircase that began to break. The stairs were quite long, ranging from the bottom they stood to the back of the pillars covered in thick dust scattered in the air.

The strong wind still continued to blow like a storm was about to happen. The dust and dry leaves lifted by it were very disturbing and blocked visibility.

"Yin'er, what's really going on?" jian Heng asked as he covered his nose with the tip of his shirt.

"I don't know. There is a ceremony that takes place in another dimension. That pillar is the gate to get there, but not just anyone can pass it." Fang Yin pointed at the pillar he had seen since.

During his stay in the Northern Mainland, Guan Xing often passed through the pillar. There was nothing strange about it and the place was also crowded. Its location in the middle of the residential area makes it often passed.

"There's nothing strange about this place. I used to go through it," Guan Xing said.

Fang Yin seemed to be thinking. He wanted to prove if that great energy really came from this place. The protective spell that prevented one from entering there was extremely powerful, no wonder that people only considered it an ordinary place.

A flattened circular-shaped light emerged from Fang Yin's palm. Inside the circle are some symbols known only to the maker. It was a spell seal made by Fang Yin to try to break through the protective seal attached between the two pillars.

After reaching a certain size, Fang Yin threw the seal towards the old gate. Jian Heng and Guan Xing did not understand what Fang Yin was doing. They wanted to see if the invisible protector was really there.

That flat spell circle continued to move like a spinning chakra. The three wanted to see what happened when the energy chakra touched the old gate protector.

The duarrr!

A loud explosion accompanied by sparks of light sounded extremely loud. Several times Fang Yin pushed him back towards the center of the two pillars. Again, the explosion was heard. At the final push, an energy from the center of the pillar pressed down strongly so that the spell seal turned towards them.

Fang Yin, Guan Xing and Jian Heng jumped up to avoid it. The spell seal exploded on the stone where they had stood before and made it crumble.

"Truly a strong protector," Guan Xing said in astonishment.

Previously he had never thought there was another dimension there even though a gate like this was identical to a gate leading to another dimension.

"We need to be vigilant. Someone inhabiting the dimension was troubled by what I had just done. They think if I mean to disturb them." Fang Yin looked alert.

"What?!" screeched Jian Heng and Guan Xing together.

The three of them were waiting for the appearance of the dimensional occupants that Fang Yin thought were lurking at them. Intentions just want to prove the existence of a protection seal, not unexpectedly all it raises hostility.

"sorry. I'm too rash," Fang Yin regretted.

There was already no more time to regret, a green-colored suction hole appeared from the center of the pillar. The hole had a great energy to pull all three into it.

They try to survive by expending their energy to stay where they are.

"Jin'er, what should we do?" ask Guan Xing. His face looks tense.

"We just follow where the green hole takes us. It seems like this dimension is the place where the green man lives."

Fang Yin stretched out both his hands and asked Jian Heng and Guan Xing to hold him the only one. According to his experience, a dimension has different elements. They can be separated because each body has different tendencies.

Before actually getting into that suction hole, Fang Yin divided his energy into Jian Heng and Guan Xing through both of his hands. Among the three of them, only he could make a soul binding spell seal.

The three remained standing firmly in the air and waited for the cue from Fang Yin to follow the suction hole. A circle of flat light with a certain symbol appeared under their feet.

"With this seal we will not separate while inside the alien dimension that we will traverse. Are you ready to break through that dimensional gate?" fang Yin asked the two.

"Hm."

Both nod. Whatever happens next, they will face it together. Something worse than this could happen. Although no one has returned when someone mysteriously disappeared, they believe they can overcome all this.

The strong wind blowing around the place still continued to blow carrying small objects flying filled the air. This situation continued even though the three began to be interested in approaching the suction hole. No one saw this because all the people who lived around the place were hiding in the house.

The bodies of Guan Xing, Jian Heng and Fang Yin disappeared from sight. After they entered, the hole disappeared again. There was only an empty place that looked like the human world.

Fang Yin and the others crossed a dark space that was borderless, wallless, unroofed, and also unfounded. As far as the eye can see only darkness.

His third body continued to move in a direction they did not know. Fang Yin felt the two hands of the men turn cold. Despite not saying anything, he knew if they were experiencing fear.

"Don't be afraid, this darkness will soon pass." Fang Yin tried to calm the two down even though he himself also felt some uncertainty from his words.

"Hopefully," Jian Heng replied softly.

Fang Yin raised his right leg then stomped quickly. The spell seals they cast emitted a golden yellow light that made them slightly calm.

In the distance there is a bright white circle. Their bodies are moving there. The closer it gets, the more clearly visible the circle.

"Is that the doorway out of this darkness?" guan Xing asked in a joyful tone.

"It can be." Again Fang Yin said something uncertain.

They darted quickly across the circle which turned out to be a gate. In that bright place they saw the night sky. After removing their bodies from the dark place, the white shining gate disappeared. Their bodies slid down and landed in an unfamiliar place.

Their arrival was greeted by several people who did not show their faces. They wear coats that cover their bodies and heads to the point of being invisible.

Fang Yin kept back the seal he had made then walked with Jian Heng and Guan Xing forward before the mysterious people.

They numbered about fifteen people. The dark atmosphere makes things feel gripping. Not to mention the surrounding conditions that show like an arid forest on the rocks, further adding to the spooky impression.

"Welcome to the realm of despair. Prepare to face endless torment and suffering in this place" said one of those standing at the front.
