Chapter 123: To the north. “Come on, we should just leave immediately.” Guo Luo was clinging to Yao Jun's chest, looking up at him with pleading eyes. After they returned to the inn, Yao Jun said that he wanted to stay few more days in Willow's Whisper before they headed further north. Upon hearing this, Guo Luo immediately pleaded for them to leave the town immediately. After all, something had cause his God Gate to tremble, so Guo Luo felt that it was better for them to find out what it was as fast as possible. “Fine fine, just don't look at me with those eyes in the future.” Yao Jun's mouth curled into a slight smirk as he watched Guo Luo look at him with pleading eyes. There was something about those pleading eyes that he found oddly exciting, his self control suddenly flying out the window. He grabbed Guo Luo's waist and lifted her up from the ground, planting a kiss on her lips as he did so. He carried her over to the bed and dropped her down on it, wasting no time before taking off her clothing, and starting a particularly passionate bout of lovemaking. The next day, Yao Jun and Guo Luo put on their disguises and left the town, heading towards a covert place where they could bring out Little Gray. They spent half a day walking, until they finally reached a place that they felt was hidden enough. Yao Jun brought out Little Gray and then placed his gate on Little Gray's back. Since Guo Luo wanted them to head over there as fast as possible, Yao Jun would obviously use the fastest method available to them. Yao Jun and Guo Luo entered the gate, allowing Little Gray to take off and fly towards the north at his full speed. Upon entering the gate, a small smile appeared on Yao Jun's face. Since his cultivation had yet too increase, the size of the gate had not increased, nor had any new environments appeared. But the current gate was still slightly different from how it used to be. Next to the small mountain that Yao Jun used to plant the various herbs and medicinal plants that they found, there was now a small and cozy wooden hut. The small hut was only a single floor tall, and only large enough for two rooms. It was constructed entirely out of wooden logs, a golden lantern hanging next to the door. This wooden hut was constructed by Yao Jun and Guo Luo while they were traveling from town to town. The logs all came from the inside of his God Gate, and the lantern was something they had bought while visiting a town a little while back. The inside of the hut consisted of two rooms. The first room was a mixture of a living room and kitchen. It contained a table, two chairs, a bookshelf filled with books that they had bought or found, a small kitchen corner, a lantern hanging from the ceiling, as well as a smooth ornate carpet that covered the entire floor. The second room was much simpler, containing only a single bed that was large enough for two people, as well as a lantern hanging from the ceiling. The bed and pillows were stuffed with a large amount of feathers, and everything was covered with red silk, so it was like laying on a cloud. Yao Jun's Demonic beasts never ventured close to this hut, especially when Yao Jun and Guo Luo were both inside the gate, lest they see or hear things from the two of them while they were making love. They much preferred to silently cultivate around the ancient tree at the center of the gate. Thanks to this, all of Yao Jun's Demonic beasts had managed to increase their strength in the last few months. Ba-Shei and Sirius managed to break through, reaching the 2nd Mortal Earth, while Little Gray and Little Thunder had managed to reach the peak of the 1st Mortal Earth, only a single step away from breaking through. While Guo Luo entered the hut, Yao Jun sat down next to his Demonic beasts and silently cultivating. Thanks to the two of them engaging in dual cultivation, their cultivation was constantly rising, but they still needed to engage in normal cultivation from time to time, consolidating their cultivation. The higher one's cultivation level grew, the longer a person needed to break through. But a rise in cultivation level also made it easier to immerse oneself in cultivation. Yao Jun was only at the 2nd Mortal Earth, but when he closed his eyes and cultivated, several days could pass by in the blink of an eye. “There seems to be a group of people traveling north not far away from us. The group contains several cultivators, so I plan on asking them if anything has happened up north.” Two weeks after leaving Willow's Whisper, Yao Jun and Guo Luo were sitting in the small hut and eating breakfast, having cut their cultivating short. While Yao Jun was cultivating, he would often use his soul to connect with Little Gray, allowing him to look at what was happening around them in the outside world. As the time he spent cultivating grew, so too did the amount of control he had over his soul. Now he could easily have his body focus on cultivating, while his soul observed the surrounding world, allowing him to be constantly alert. “Alright, but i'm going with you.” Guo Luo nodded her head. Finding more information before taking action was a good idea, as it would decrease the chance of them getting caught unaware or unprepared. Yao Jun had Little Gray land at a spot where the traveling group of people would not see them. He then left the gate with Guo Luo, disguising themselves, and started heading towards the traveling group of people, making it look like he was coincidentally walking in the same direction as them. “Halt! Identify yourselves!” When Yao Jun and Guo Luo approached the group of traveling people, a man wearing armor and carrying a spear called out to them, raising his spear. The group of traveling people consisted of four wooden wagons covered with arched cloth, preventing anyone from looking into it. Each wagon was drawn by four strong horses, ensuring that the wagons did not move too slowly. Besides the wagons, the rest of the group consisted of around 15 other people, all clad in different clothing. But amongst the 15 people, three of them wore armor and carried spears, looking like guards. It was obvious that the three people who wore armor were guards, while the other 12 people were cultivators that had decided to join this traveling group. Of the 12 people, the highest cultivation level Yao Jun saw was a single female at the late stage of the 1st Mortal Earth. “Fucking idiot!” Just as Yao Jun and Guo Luo were about to say something, a loud shout was heard from the front-most wagon. After the shout sounded, a male youth walked out from the wagon, glaring at the guard looking man. Seeing this youth, Yao Jun's eyes slightly hardened. The youth seemed to be slightly older than him, maybe approaching his twenties. He had long black hair and smooth and unblemished skin. He had thin lips and brown eyes, looking very refined. But what caused Yao Jun's eyes to harden was the robes that the youth was wearing, the robes of the Yao clan. “Please forgive him, he has always had a hard time measuring other people's strength. If you would not mind, you can join us in the wagon, it is much more comfortable.” After shouting at the guard, the youth turned towards Yao Jun and Guo Luo, a pleasant smile on his face. He did not know exactly who these two people were, but he could tell that they were both at the early stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth, the same as him. If the two of them were willing to help his group, they would have a much higher chance of success once they reached their goal. “No need to worry about it.” Yao Jun responded with a pleasant smile of his own, stepping past the guard and heading towards the wagon. When the male youth had left the wagon, Yao Jun had been able to peer into it. Inside the wagon were three other youths two females and one male, all at the early stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth. The inside of the wagon was luxurious and comfortable. There were pillows covering the floor, preventing any discomfort from sitting on the wood. A small table filled with tea and some light snacks was placed at the center of the wagon. A few small lanterns lit up the wagon with a dim light. Yao Jun and Guo Luo sat down at the table, inspecting the three other people that were already sitting inside the wagon. The two females looked like twins, they had fiery red hair that reached down to their hips, full lips and limpid blue eyes. They had tall and full figures and were clad in tight fitting robes, showing off their curves. The only thing that set them apart was that one of the females had a scar on her chin. The other male was slightly small and pudgy, but his face held a carefree smile. His head was completely clean shaven and polished, a strange type of lizard tattooed onto his scalp. He had black eyes and some few spread hairs growing on his chin. These three people were also clad in the robes of the Yao clan. “My name is Yao Shui, this is my friend Yao Gang. These two are Yao Yazhu and Yao Ah.” The other male youth entered the wagon and sat down at the table, introducing the other people around the table. The pudgy man was Yao Gang, while the woman without the scar was Yao Ah, and the woman with the scar was Yao Yazhu. The three youths nodded their heads in greeting, introducing themselves once more. They could tell that Yao Jun and Guo Luo were both at the early stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth, the same as them. “I am Shen Jun, this is my wife, Song Luo.” Yao Jun and Guo Luo nodded their heads as well, introducing themselves with false names. Thanks to Yao Luying's message, Yao Jun already knew that there were people in the Yao clan who were looking to take him hostage, so he was not comfortable with using his real name. “So why is such a large group of people heading north?” After introducing themselves, Yao Jun nonchalantly took some snacks from the table as he asked. Since such a large and diverse group were all heading north, it was clear that they were after something specific, possibly highly dangerous. It seemed like something really had happened up north. “You haven't heard?” Yao Shui looked at Yao Jun with a shocked expression. Such a large stir had been caused, but could it be that these two did not know about it? “Heard what? Me and my wife don't belong to any clan, we can only be considered wandering cultivators, so i'm afraid that our information network is severely lacking.” Yao Jun put on a bitter smile as he spoke, his words causing the others to nod in understanding. Wandering cultivators always had a much harder time getting their hand on information, so it was understandable that they did not know about what happened up north. “Around two weeks ago, a hidden realm appeared up north. It should open in a few weeks, so people are swarming over to see what it holds.” Yao Shui quickly explained the situation to Yao Jun and Guo Luo. He did not hold a high position in the clan, so he could not request them to send people to help him, he would have to rely on loose cultivators who did not belong to any clans. “A hidden realm?” Guo Luo raised an eyebrow upon hearing Yao Shui's words. She had never heard about hidden realms, so she did not know how special they were. “A hidden realm is a space opened by a supreme cultivator. Some hidden realms have restrictions on who can enter, so people are rushing towards the north to find out what type of restrictions there are on this hidden realm. The possible amount of wealth and rare items inside this hidden realm has stirred up the entire continent. Even people from the three other great clans are coming to enter it.” Seeing that Guo Luo did not know what a hidden realm was, Yao Ah quickly explained it. After hearing their explanation, Yao Jun was certain that the appearance of this hidden realm was what caused his God Gate to tremble. Now he just had to find out how dangerous it would be to enter this hidden realm.
