The Ancient Realm Goddess
Nushen Shrine

After entering the waters in fact what is plastered before the eyes is not a region full of water. But a long hallway with a width of 2 to 3 meters flanked by a wall of water on each side. This was completely incompatible with Qing Yue'er's shadow.

In that passageway one did not have to bother to use the deep-water breathing technique. They can breathe freely. From inside the passageway, they could see outside the passageway which was the original ocean.

Jing Ling felt so astonished by this. Finally, he extended his hand intending to hold the wall of water. However, before he could actually touch it, a teacher instantly stopped his actions.

“Do not touch it!”

Jing Ling's hand stopped in midair. “Why?” ask her.

The teacher did not answer but extended his sword into the wall of water. What happened was really surprising. The sword instantly turned into water before it finally fused with the wall.

Qing Yue'er was surprised to see this miracle. How could that be terrible? Just plunged into the road but already treated with a deadly thing like this. If one did not know it they would probably touch the walls of the passageway and end up disappearing fused with the wall.

“You must be careful. Don't touch it,” Niu Longhao warned everyone. He seemed to have forgotten to tell them this matter.

Eventually they docked slightly and started sliding further down. Even more surprising it turns out that the hallway is not straight down but winding with complexity. It makes them have to be more careful.

During the trip, they met a lot of people. However, since they were from a renowned academy so no one dared to make trouble. Perhaps this was the advantage gained by someone joining a great power.

The journey inside the hallway took quite a long time. As they were about to arrive at the end of the passageway and arrive at the bottom of the sea, there was suddenly the sound of an explosion ahead. They stopped their movement.

Qing Yue'er could not be sure what was going on. He immediately came forward to inspect it together with Niu Longhao. Some others are still waiting there.

Actually, those who took part in this journey were not all disciples from the Heavenly Academy. More like some prominent teachers and disciples only. Even so, they still could not act recklessly.

Qing Yue'er, the head of the academy and Han Qiong came forward to see what was going on. After going through one turn they finally saw what was really going on.

It was nothing but a dispute between two people. Apparently they were people from Southern Tongxuan. Their battle seemed to be quite large, but as this was no ordinary place so there were no ruins whatsoever.

When they saw the arrival of Niu Longhao, the two people instantly stopped the battle. Of course it was shocked because of the arrival of such a great person like Niu Longhao.

“Chief of Niu Academy, have we disturbed you? Sorry if we caused chaos,” said someone wearing a light gray robe.

In contrast to him, the other person wearing black clothes was instead staring at Niu Longhao with a cynical look. “Head of Heavenly Academy, Niu Longhao, please continue your journey. Don't mind our business.”

Qing Yue'er was a little surprised. After a long time he knew Niu Longhao maybe only this time he saw that there was someone who did not respect the old man. Most cultivators would definitely strive to forge a good relationship, but this fellow did not seem to be so.

Niu Longhao was not offended. He smiled and said, “I won't interfere. However, it is good if you do battle after coming out of this passageway. However, it will certainly disturb others who want to pass.”

Han Qiong nodded in agreement. This hallway is not so broad. One might have to wait for the battle to finish before being able to return to continue on the journey.

“We brought a group and will pass through this aisle. So can you continue the battle later on outside?” ask Han Qiong. Actually he's a little unhappy. However, he cannot be impulsive.

The man in black clothes snorted. He looked at Niu Longhao and Han Qiong with a mocking look. “What makes you think I'm going to quit? Is it because you guys are someone from the Celestial academy?” Then he laughed. “Remember, you are even still waiting to rebuild the academy.”

“Gu Hi! Don't say nonsense!” The man dressed in light gray exclaimed. His name was Gu Mao, while this person dressed in black was Gu Hai. They were both brothers of the Gu clan in the Southern Tongxuan region.

“Gu Mao, what I say is the truth. Didn't we?" Gu Hai asked. Although he was at odds with Gu Mao, apparently he was more dislikeful of outsiders interfering with his battle.

Gu Mao was like it was hard to say yes or no. The news of the Heavenly Academy exploding had indeed been heard a lot. They also heard that the academy has done a rebuilding which certainly takes a lot of time and costs.

Even so he still could not blatantly say such a thing. What if Niu Longhao was offended and instead intended to kill them both?

Actually the one who was offended was not Niu Longhao or Han Qiong, but Qing Yue'er. He was the one who had already caused the explosion. Although people did not blame him, but he felt uncomfortable about it. He became displeased if anyone were to scorn the academy just for this reason.

Qing Yue'er snorted. “So since the Heavenly Academy has already exploded then you feel fine to scorn?”

Gu Hai looked at Qing Yue'er with mocking eyes. “Gadis, why are you talking? The answer seems obvious, right? After all who blew up the academy must have had a certain reason. Whatisit? Maybe a personal vendetta.” He laughed again.

Niu Longhao directly glanced at Qing Yue'er. Is the girl angry? He knows the chronology of the explosion. It had absolutely nothing to do with personal grudges. This Gu Hai had already said the wrong thing, was Qing Yue'er going to do something to him?

Meanwhile Han Qiong was instead chuckling. He stroked his beard casually. He would see how Qing Yue'er would address this person named Gu Hai. It would be nice if he could see Qing Yue'er hitting a fool like Gu Hai. The man must not know what really happened.

Gu Mao looked at Gu Hai. He did not want to offend these people. Even though the Heavenly Academy had already collapsed but their strength was not lost at all. The two of them would only suffer if they fought against him. Moreover, their Gu clan would be unlikely to be willing to help in the event of a dispute with the Heavenly Academy.

“Gu Hi, let's go now. Don't make trouble with anyone else. Don't you really want to fight with me? Do it after getting out of this place," said Gu Mao Lirih.

Unfortunately Gu Hai was already already interested in Qing Yue'er. He laughed and returned his voice. “Who am I talking to? You are, at most, just a student of that dilapidated academy, right?”

“Good. You're right, but don't you know who blew up the academy?" Qing Yue'er asked again.

Gu Hai was a little silent. He doesn't know for sure. He had only heard that there used to be someone who had come to snatch a dragon from one of the academy's disciples. Then they fought great. He thought, surely the explosion was created by that great battle. Probably from someone who came to snatch the dragon.

Qing Yue'er smiled mockingly. “Do not know, yes? So let me tell you the truth.” He smiled for a moment. “I was the one who had already caused the explosion. Do you understand now?”

Hearing this remark made Gu Hai stupefied in disbelief. “Cannot be!”

“Don't you say that I did it out of personal grudge?” Qing Yue'er sneered, “Stupid!”

“Gu Hi! Quickly apologize to them!” Gu Mao exclaimed and slightly encouraged Gu Hai to apologize immediately.

“I still don't trust him,” muttered Gu Hai. He's someone who needs proof, not just bullshit. After all if that girl was indeed the one who caused the explosion, why would Niu Longhao still treat her so well?

“Good, let you see the truth.” Qing Yue'er smirked. After that a golden-looking light shot out from Qing Yue'er's forehead. The light instantly transformed into a golden dragon whose size was not so large. The beast could indeed change size according to his will, just like Ying Jun.

Instantly Gu Hai and Gu Mao instantly widened his eyes. They became quivering when they saw a divine beast appear in front of them.

“Cannot be!”

Qing Yue'er smiled even more. He finally waved his hand quickly. At that moment the golden dragon instantly shot out rapidly towards Gu Hai.

“No!”

Blaarr!

Gu Hai was immediately pushed far away to the wall of the hallway. Of course the man would not have been able to survive. His body instantly melted and turned into water before finally merging with the wall.

Gu Mao who saw how Gu Hai ended up, ended up being scared. He immediately knelt in the air with a trembling body. “Please forgive me, let me go.”

Qing Yue'er smiled. “Go. Tell your families that I killed Gu Hai. If they dare then come to me.”

Gu Mao immediately shook his head. He did not dare to complain about this matter. His clan would not possibly care. Rather than being the subject of ridicule, he pretended not to know. “I, I won't say it.”

“It was also good," Qing Yue'er said. Then he waved his hand and his golden dragon directly entered into his dimension again. After that he saw Gu Mao who immediately went to escape.

“Haih.” Han Qiong sighed. “Anywhere there are always people like that.”

Niu Longhao nodded in agreement. “It was true. Then forget it. Let's continue the journey.”

Qing Yue'er nodded then they called out to the group that was behind. After that they all returned to continue the remaining journey a little more.

Actually Qing Yue'er felt a little astonished. In the hallways at the end of this there was a variety of aura left on the walls of the hallway. It looks like there are a lot of dead people there. Perhaps this was a form of competition to reduce the number of treasure hunters.

A while later Qing Yue'er finally reached the lips of the passageway. When he was about to come out suddenly a silver light shot out from behind at a frightening speed. At first he thought someone was attacking him. However, it turned out that it was not an attack, rather a cultivator.

Qing Yue'er became astonished. There are people who have such speed. He shook his head while amazed. Then he came out of the hallway.

At that moment he was directly faced with a very large building. The building has a shape that is not much different from the temples in general. On the front there is a plaque that reads the word Nushen which actually has the meaning of Goddess.

When he first saw this temple, Qing Yue'er felt a very natural feeling of respect. Moreover, he could sense the sacred aura of this huge building.

If he was asked to describe, then he would say that this was a place that no one should mess with. Didn't expect it to turn out that this is where many treasures are kept. It is difficult to be sure that he was spared from the vile and greedy nature of man.
