Chapter 370

Chapter 370

According to the setting in the novel, the colorful light curtains were the entrance/exit to the world, and the light curtains of different colors would lead to continents with different attributes. These light curtains would change every hour. If someone was lucky enough, they could to the central city after crossing the light curtain a few times.

On the contrary, if he's unlucky, he might keep circling around the outer area.

Xu Ziyan didn't waste any time - he directly dragged Xu Zirong into the light curtain. Generally, as long as the continent that they entered through the light curtain was larger than the previous one, then it's usually not the wrong path. The closer they were to the central area, the larger the area of those continents would be. They just needed to observe carefully enough in order not to be lost.

When Xu Ziyan passed through the light curtain, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

The continent was full of erupting volcanoes, billowing magma was flowing on the ground, and there wasn't any trace of green on the entire continent.

"It really is a continent of fire attributes." Xu Ziyan glanced casually, but he couldn't see the edge of the continent.

They were lucky, since this continent with fire attributes was more than ten times larger than the one they had just set foot on. As long as they continued, they would soon find the central city of the fragmented continent.

Although this fragmented continent with fire attributes was huge, the monsters living there were not that powerful. They were much inferior comparing to the ones that they encountered in the Fire Hell Demon Realm.

The two strolled around the courtyard leisurely, and the only salamander saw them from a distance, then swished into the magma, without the courage to come out.

Without the threat of monsters, the only thing the two had to do was to find the light curtain leading to the next fragmented continent as soon as possible.

Since they didn't know where the other light curtain was, the two had no choice but to act separately, agreeing to communicate with each other through the blood contract after finding the light curtain.

About half a day later, the two met again at the starting point. Xu Ziyan looked a bit serious, while Xu Zirong also looked doubtful.

"Why can't we find it?" Xu Ziyan rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

He and Xu Zirong split up and searched almost the entire continent. Although the area of this continent was much larger than the previous one, they wouldn't have missed a very obvious light curtain door.

"Could it be that there are no other light curtain doors in this continent?" Xu Zirong asked while frowning.

"Probably not..." Xu Ziyan wasn't sure. In the novel, Bai Hua's journey went smoothly. It seemed that he had only passed seven or eight fragmented continents before arriving in the central city. So why couldn't he find the way when it was his turn?

"Let's look for it again." Xu Zirong was very helpless, as he felt unlucky enough to encounter such an incident. If it didn't work out, he could only return to the original mainland and wait for the next light curtain door.

The two exchanged positions and flew towards the area explored by the other party. After another half a day, when the two met again, they shook their heads in unison.

"But that's impossible!" Xu Ziyan couldn't help scratching his head. Could it be that the first continent that he'd entered was actually a dead end? He really was so unlucky, right?

Puff!

The sound of a magma bubble bursting caught Xu Ziyan's attention. He turned his head and instantly felt sick.

"Hey, cultivator Xu, long time no see." Cultivator Tianle climbed up from the magma lake in a bit of embarrassment, as if he had just experienced a big battle.

"Cultivator Tianle?" Xu Ziyan's eyes widened and was completely shocked - hell no, why this clinginess guy again?

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Cultivator Tianle smiled gently, shook his hands and threw all the dust and magma off his body.

"Uh...are you..." Xu Ziyan looked him up and down. Although cultivator Tianle looked a little embarrassed, there was no wound on his body. It looked like he was being chased by something, but he ran fast and wasn't injured.

"Actually, it's nothing...it's just bad luck, I met a group of gluttonous turtles." Tianle said indifferently.

Xu Ziyan was taken aback immediately. This gluttonous tortoise was a famous ferocious monster in the world of cultivation. Each one reached the level of golden core, and the patriarch even had the strength of a nascent soul.

The most deceitful thing was that this kind of monster was obviously called a turtle. It had super defense power, and it even could fly fast and had sharp teeth, indeed an incredibly brutal monster.

Even Xu Ziyan could only run away when he encountered such a monster. Since Tianle was able to escape from a group of gluttonous turtles, it showed that he had already highly developed his skills in this area.

Xu Ziyan felt his head hurting. There's such a clingy guy annoying him even before he could find his way.

That's right, cultivator Tianle was thick-skinned enough to team up with Xu Ziyan. Xu Ziyan wanted to refuse, but the world of fragmented continents was relatively closed, and it's much harder to get rid of him than being in the outside world.

In desperation, he could only recognize this teammate, then hoped that his clinginess syndrome would not flare up in a short time... _(:3」∠)_

Since there were volcanic eruptions on the continent from time to time, even Xu Ziyan did not expect that the light curtain door leading to the next world would be submerged under the magma lake.

Initially, he should feel happy after finding a way, but if there were a group of brutal gluttonous turtles behind the way out, and this alone was a depressing fact.

In desperation, the three of them had no choice but to retreat to the continent where Xu Ziyan first entered. After waiting for two hours, the red light curtain door turned blue, and the three of them carefully entered.

After entering, Xu Ziyan: =口= shit! This doesn't make any sense! What about the continent with water attributes? What does it mean by giving us such a snow mountain?

Right, although the light curtain door was blue this time, this continent was not like the ocean world that Xu Ziyan and the others had expected.

To be more precise, this place should be a huge snow-capped floating island. There was barely anything green on the outermost edge, yet there was a huge snow-capped mountain in the center of the island.

The fluttering snowflakes fell on everyone's faces, making them cool and awakening their spirit.

"Not bad." Cultivator Tianle touched his chin and said, "this place is much better than the few worlds that I just walked through."

"That's not necessarily the case." Xu Zirong frowned, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly.

As soon as they entered this world, everyone was attracted by the snow-capped mountain in the middle. Therefore, no one noticed a piece of brown clothes exposed in the snowdrifts except Xu Zirong.

They walked over, and Xu Zirong's blood monster had already dug out the corpse under the snowdrift. Judging from his clothes, it seemed to be a certain golden core cultivator that he had seen on the stele island.

"It seems that this island is not that peaceful after all." Xu Ziyan inspected the corpse with a serious expression on his face.

The deadly wound was on the neck, and the man who attacked clearly acted fast and killed the cultivator with just a single bow. However, there's something that Xu Ziyan couldn't figure out - battles among cultivators were usually taken place with spells, even sword cultivators used mostly sword intent and sword energy. It's really unusual to see a cultivator with his throat being cut open.

"This man committed suicide." Tianle said suddenly after observing for a long time.

"What?" Xu Ziyan was taken aback.

What does it mean by cultivation? It means going against the sky!

Seeking the Dao and obtaining longevity is the ultimate goal of every cultivator.

Suicide is completely contrary to cultivation, and it is never something that a cultivator would do.

Besides, even if there are cultivators who really want a way out, he'd at most find a quiet cave and sort things out, and he'd never commit suicide in the process of seeking treasures.

"That's right, this person definitely committed suicide." Tianle said with a frown, "monsters here can make a golden core cultivator commit suicide, I'm afraid they have reached an unbelievable level of manipulation of illusion."

"This is not looking good." Xu Ziyan looked down, which is a normal reaction.

Illusion was a move that cannot be defended against. If cultivator Tianle's assumption was true, then everything that they were seeing could be an illusion.

Just imagine - if you have a really high level of cultivation but you can't even see your enemy, how depressing can this be?

"Do you mean that...the things that we see now are just an illusion?" Xu Ziyan asked helplessly.

Cultivator Tianle pondered for a moment before shaking his head, "probably not. According to my experience, no monsters can create such a vast illusion."

"Then what about him..." What's going on actually? Xu Ziyan curled his lips towards the corpse.

Cultivator Tianle took a look at the corpse, then rolled his eyes, "don't forget that he's a golden core cultivator. If there are nascent soul monsters which are excellent in casting spells, then there's nothing weird about him getting trapped."

Xu Ziyan: ...Damn it, I almost forgot that I'm a nascent soul.

"Brother..." Xu Zirong, who had been silent since just now, suddenly tugged at his brother's sleeve.

"Um?"

"I think that I know what monsters are here." Xu Zirong's lips curled up, "it's a snow demon."

"Snow demon?" Xu Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly searched for various information about this kind of demon in his mind, but all he read in the monsters' encyclopedia was that the snow demon was an ordinary monster with a shape similar to a ghost. Although she was capable to create some illusion, it would be ridiculous to assume that she could make a golden core cultivator kill himself.

Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Zirong suspiciously, and Xu Zirong smiled at him.

On the contrary, Tianle suddenly realized something, "that's right! In such an environment, it must be an advanced Snow Banshee having created this illusion."

Xu Ziyan turned his face silently and suddenly felt like a scumbag. He was sure that all this was just an illusion!

Xu Zirong glanced at Tianle and seemed to be admiring how knowledgeable he was.

Cultivator Tianle returned a faint smile to him.

Xu Ziyan: ...

Damn! Now the two guys with clinginess disease are getting along so well!

"If it's the Snow Banshee, you don't have to worry about it." Cultivator Tianle touched his chin. "Although she is excellent in creating illusions, she has a relatively peaceful nature. In theory, as long as we don't mess with her, there won't be any major problems."
