Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation

Chapter 13: Heavenly Gate

The next day at noon, after a day of tireless walking by White Tiger, Xu Yuan finally arrived at his destination.

After releasing Baihu, Xu Yuan stood alone on the top of the side peak, and in front of him was the deep and boundless Sky Cliff.

Taking a step forward, Xu Yuan tried to take a look down the Sky Cliff.

Wherever his gaze reached, it was a vast abyss enveloped in clouds and mist.

Suddenly, the clouds and mist on the mountaintop churned, and a strong wind suddenly blew, causing Xu Yuan’s exquisite robe to make rustling sounds and his figure to sway.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly retreated back to the inside of the peak of the Sky Cliff.

In the game “Blue Spring,” he could jump down this Sky Cliff without hesitation, but now he decided against it.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan looked towards the main peak of Tianmen Mountain.

From here to there, it was separated by thousands of feet.

Beyond the majestic main peak, there were swirling celestial mists.

From bottom to top, the clouds and mist seemed to break through the void.

On the colossal mountain, a huge circular opening several hundred feet in diameter resembled a gate to the heavens!

Looking at the enormous Heavenly Gate, for some unknown reason, besides being awe-struck, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt a sense of discomfort.

It was not until he shifted his gaze away from the distant view that this feeling of discomfort gradually dissipated.

Curiosity sparked, Xu Yuan looked at the Heavenly Gate again.

Soon, the previously dissipated discomfort slowly began to creep up on him.

“What is this? Why do I feel this way when I stare at that Heavenly Gate?”

Sensing something unusual in his body, Xu Yuan hurriedly withdrew his gaze. Under a somewhat surprised expression, he recalled the description of Tianmen Mountain in the formula book.

Subconsciously lifting his gaze to look again, Xu Yuan’s expression carried a hint of disbelief:

“Is this sword intent? Could it be that the Heavenly Gate on the mountaintop was truly pierced by a single sword?”

Suddenly, Xu Yuan felt that his understanding of this world of Cangyuan was still lacking.

Limited by the 2.5D pixel art style of the game “Blue Spring,” he had no concept of how powerful the top experts in this world could be.

The shock of someone piercing through hundreds of feet of mountains with a single sword made Xu Yuan’s thoughts race.

Compared to orthodox cultivation, in Xu Yuan’s understanding, this world should be more aligned with xianxia genre.

Here, there were sects, martial arts, and imperial courts.

Could it be that there truly are people in this world who can radiate the coldness of their sword across nineteen provinces with a single strike?

However, if there really was someone so powerful, wouldn’t that Northern military god, who is at odds with my original father, become a joke?

No matter how skilled in warfare, it would still not compare to a sword casually swung by a powerhouse. What kind of authority does this military god have?

Lost in thought, the surrounding clouds and mist rolled and surged.

By the time Xu Yuan snapped back to reality, he suddenly realized that the tip of his nose was already wet.

Wiping it with his hand, the crimson color between his palms made him aware that he had actually started to nosebleed from gazing directly at the Heavenly Gate.

Quickly turning away and refusing to look anymore.

But this turn, Xu Yuan happened to catch sight of the gradually rising fish belly white in the east.

The clouds and mist dissipated, and the sunrise on the mountaintop was beautiful, capturing the view of a hundred thousand mountains, with the vast forest dyed blood-red.

The scenery in front of Xu Yuan stunned his mind.

What’s going on?

Just a moment ago, he was lost in thought, but how did it suddenly go from noon to dawn?

Due to having consumed the Flame Spirit Liquid, he did not feel hungry, but the soreness from standing for a long time gradually awakened within his body.

Facing something beyond his comprehension, Xu Yuan wanted to try to find the reason, but after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly realized that now was not the time to think about this.

His priority was to meet up with Ran Qingmo.

Since so much time has passed, where was that big ball of ice now?

Even the White Tiger only took half a day to climb from the mountainside to here, and now at least a day and a half has passed. Ran Qingmo hasn’t arrived yet?

While pondering, Xu Yuan’s heart sank little by little.

The best case scenario for the current situation would be that Ran Qingmo, in order to ensure her safety, voluntarily led away the enemies they haven’t been able to shake off temporarily.

And the worst…

Ran Qingmo’s strength is unquestionable, but at this plot point, there are still many people in this world stronger than her.

Xu Yuan quickly halted his train of thought, not allowing himself to indulge in wild conjectures.

He was very clear about the situation he currently found himself in.

If Ran Qingmo died on the way, unless he could gamble his life by jumping off this Sky Cliff with a 3-point fortune to successfully enter that cave, otherwise he could simply declare himself dead.

Staying near this Sky Cliff, whether the person who comes knocking is the one who wants to kill him or one of his original father’s subordinates, he would undoubtedly meet his death.

The appearance of the “Anomaly Rejection Condition” directly closed off many of Xu Yuan’s retreats that he relied on.

He crossed over to this world not through perfect soul transmigration that transcends the rules of this world, but through the method of body possession and rebirth within the rules of this world.

Although body possession and rebirth are relatively perfect except for the initial period of “Anomaly Rejection Condition,” everything has its pros and cons.

Having existed for so long in this world, body possession and rebirth naturally gave rise to some detection methods.

These detection methods are almost lost, but they do exist.

And the most deadly thing is that someone under his original father’s command will use these detection methods.

No one will suspect him for no reason, but Xu Yuan is not Xu Changtian after all. In front of truly intimate people, they will probably sense something amiss in less than a moment.

If something is sensed, after a series of detection methods, Xu Yuan doesn’t dare to imagine what his fate will be like.

There is indeed a method to perfectly merge the physical body with the soul, and Xu Yuan knows where it is, but that thing is in the cave below this Sky Cliff.

Once that big ball of ice dies, Xu Yuan has no chance of going down to get it.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan forcibly stopped his thoughts, controlled his slightly sore body, and sat down on the ground.

No matter how much he thinks now, it’s useless. All he can do is wait for the results peacefully.

“Buzz.”

Just as he sat down, a slight tremor on the ground immediately startled Xu Yuan.

Looking down, his gaze could only see tiny pieces of gravel lying quietly on the ground.

An illusion?

Xu Yuan’s eyes flickered as he gently pressed his palm on the ground.

“Buzz.”

The slight vibrations between the sand and gravel were transmitted through his fingertips, gradually increasing in intensity.

Xu Yuan furrowed his brows.

Is it an earthquake?

The thought crossed his mind.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by the spreading sound waves, the mountaintop suddenly shook.

Instinctively, Xu Yuan held his breath.

It’s not an earthquake, someone is fighting!

One second,
Five seconds,
Ten seconds,

“Boom—”

The sound wave accompanied by the vibration came again, and this time, the entire cliff seemed to be slightly shaking.

Xu Yuan clenched his fist tightly, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he raised his gaze towards the path he came from.

Time seemed to stand still,
Between the rising dazzling sunrise, a black dot appeared.

This black dot rapidly enlarged in the field of vision and instantly turned into a huge shadow that covered the horizon and flew towards the mountaintop at high speed.

In the blink of an eye,
“Boom—”
The massive shadow heavily crashed to the ground more than ten meters away from Xu Yuan, causing an intense impact that made rocks and sand fly on the mountaintop, creating a cloud of dust!

When the dust settled,
Through the gaps in the obstructing dust, Xu Yuan saw a snake head about ten meters high.

And in that golden dawn,
On top of that fierce snake head,
A graceful black figure stood with a hanging sword, and behind her, three thousand strands of blue silk fluttered gently in the wind.
