Chapter 92: Yang continent.
Yao Jun opened his eyes and swept the surroundings with his eyes. He was sitting in the lotus position with his back straight, no longer leaning on Little Thunder, nor were Sirius and Ba-Shei laying next to him.
The surroundings were dark, so it was clearly night in the outside world. A short distance away from him, Guo Luo was leaning against Little Thunder, sleeping peacefully. Sirius and Ba-Shei were both laying down next to her, guarding at her side.
They noticed that Yao Jun had woken up, but he told them to stay quiet and not wake Guo Luo. He quietly stood up and left the gate, appearing on Little Gray's back. After appearing on Little Gray's back, he stretched his body, his joints crackling as he did so.
He checked the surroundings with his eyes, trying to figure out how long he had been cultivating. There was nothing but water to their left, right, as well as behind them. But he could see some land in the distance ahead of them, so it was clear that they were approaching the Yang continent.
The trip would take around one month of constant flying, so since he could see the Yang continent in the distance, it could only mean that he had been cultivating for about one month. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he noticed this, this was easily the longest time he had ever spent cultivating in one go, usually it would only be around one day at most.
“It's been hard on you.”
Yao Jun sat down on the back of Little Gray and gently pat him on the head. He could feel how tired Little Gray was, it was clear that flying for one month straight was very hard for it. Yao Jun did not continue talking, he just sat there and stroked Little Gray's head.

He continued to stroke Little Gray's head for a short while before he slightly turned his head, facing the direction of the Guanyu continent. He stretched out his arm and opened his hand, as if he was trying to grasp the Guanyu continent. But he could not see the Guanyu continent, so it looked like he was simply grasping at the water.
“It's not the same.”
Yao Jun shook his head and pulled back his arm. Trying to grasp the Guanyu continent did not produce the same intoxicating feeling he felt when he grasped the entirety of the planet. He of course knew why, none of the things he wanted to protect were placed on the Guanyu continent.
Yao Jun continued to sit on Little Gray's back, simply enjoying the fresh and cold air. Little Gray had slowed down it's flight speed as Yao Jun left the gate, so the wind could only be described as a refreshing breeze.
“You're finally awake.”
While Yao Jun was sitting there, Guo Luo left the gate and appeared at his side. She sent him a sweet smile before she sat down next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder. Yao Jun moved his arm, grabbing onto her hand and holding it tight. He could not grasp everything that he wanted to protect, but this was something that he could grasp and protect.
The two of them did not say anything, they simply leaned against each other under a starlit sky and enjoyed the cool breeze. As the sun started rising, the Yang continent had gotten close enough for them to clearly see a city located at the coast.
“You did good, you can rest now.”
Little Gray continued flying until it found a place that was well hidden from the city. It landed and allowed Yao Jun and Guo Luo to hop off. Yao Jun gave Little Gray a few more gentle pats on the head before he returned him into the gate.

“Let's go.”
Yao Jun held Guo Luo's hand and started heading towards the city they had just flown over. Yao Jun was planning on finding information about two things before they continued to head to where Yun Yantian and the person holding the Ghost God's Gate awakened.
The first thing he wanted to find information on was the massive Demonic beast that he had encountered on Guanyu continent. When it left, it headed in the direction of the Yang continent, so it was almost certainly somewhere on this continent now. The second thing he wanted to find information on was if there had been anything else large that had happened on this continent, especially in the area where they sensed Yun Yantian awaken.
They quickly approached the city, and the first thing they noticed was that the city was packed to the brim with people. Now that they weren't flying so high up, Yao Jun could notice that there were constantly boats leaving the city, heading towards the Guanyu and Liang continent.
“What is going on here, why are so many people leaving the continent?”
Yao Jun and Guo Luo walked over to a small booth that sold various types of dried and fresh food. There was only a middle-aged man with a bald head standing in the booth. He looked at Yao Jun with a slightly strange gaze, but he still answered the question.
“An utterly humongous Demonic beast has appeared on the continent. It settled down at the center of the continent, where the headquarter of the Yang clan is located. It simply settled there and killed almost everyone who was in the area at the time, so people are terrified that it will go on a rampage and kill more people. So they choose to leave the continent.”
The man spoke calmly, but Yao Jun could still detect a slight shiver in his voice. It was clear that everyone was terrified at the might and ferocity of this Demonic beast. Since not even the Yang clan could stop it, what hope did they have?
“Have there been any other large occurrences, like large battles?”
Since he had gotten an answer to one of the things he wanted to find more information about, he proceeded to ask the second question he had.
“None that are noteworthy. There are more bandits prowling the roads than normal, but that is only to be expected in times like this.”
The bald man fondled his chin in silence for a short while before he shook his head. With such a massive Demonic beast arriving at their continent, who would have time to start any large battles.
“I see, thank you for answering my questions.”
Yao Jun gave the bald man a faint smile before he and Guo Luo turned around and headed to the exit of the town. He could not help but wonder what had happened to Yun Yantian. The massive Demonic beast settled at the center of the continent, but the area where they sensed Yun Yantian awaken was to the east of this continent, a few days walk away from this town.
