Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 712 - 376: The Shattered Heavenly Realm

The stone door opened, but nothing inside could be seen clearly; a layer of misty chaos-colored light, like mixed paints, flowed within the stone door.

Senses couldn't penetrate this layer of chaos-colored light, and the two of them knew nothing about what was inside.

Zhou Hong saw that Lu Yu was the one who found the stone door and opened it, so he suspected that Lu Yu knew something, and thus suggested, "Why don't you go in first?"

Lu Yu glanced at him and said, "You're the one who asked me to come. Don't you know if there is danger inside?"

Zhou Hong awkwardly chuckled a few times and said, "Forget it, I'll go in first. There might be danger, there might not be."

With that, he adjusted his stance and walked into the stone door.

Lu Yu watched as he disappeared into the chaos-colored light without making any sound.

He waited for a long time, but Zhou Hong never returned to inform him whether there was danger.

Lu Yu even started to think that Zhou Hong may have encountered deadly danger and was already gone.

However, the fact that his own blood could open the stone door intrigued Lu Yu greatly. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to take the risk and enter the stone door.

He wanted to know what was inside and why his blood could open the stone door.

Walking out from the stone door, Lu Yu looked back but did not see the stone door, as if he had just stepped out of thin air.

Lu Yu now understood why Zhou Hong hadn't gone back to tell him whether there was danger, because there was simply no way back.

After confirming that he couldn't return, Lu Yu began to observe his surroundings.

The scenery here was completely out of place with the fragmented world: floating islands, waterfalls, verdant plants, intact houses, a blue sky... apart from the lack of people, it looked like a normal world.

Outside, the fragmented world was covered in gray mist, the sky seemed as if shrouded by a dark curtain, with no stars visible nor sunlight penetrating through, and the ground was a barren wasteland.

The well-preserved buildings, without a doubt, were strange objects.

Lu Yu took a deep breath; the air here contained spiritual qi, and the density was quite high. According to the standards of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, this was a top-tier blessed cultivation ground.

It couldn't compare to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, but the spiritual qi density here was higher than that in most secret realms.

To think that so long had passed here, and it could still maintain such a spiritual qi density, was a testament to how glorious the place once was.

Lu Yu extended his senses and discovered that this place was full of restrictions and arrays, with his senses only able to cover a small portion of the area.

He had to retract his senses and use his eyes to observe his surroundings.

Below his feet was a small stone-bricked path that extended deep into the floating island, surrounded by verdant, lush woods.

Judging by the fallen leaves on the ground, it had been unknown how long since anyone last cleaned this place, with leaf piles almost half a meter high that would swallow one's feet as they walked in.

Lu Yu speculated that Zhou Hong might have gone ahead and walked along the path, heading deeper inside.

He hadn't walked far before he saw a courtyard, with the front gate tightly shut, and no sign of Zhou Hong.

He walked to the gate and pushed on it, finding that the entire courtyard was protected by an array that couldn't be forced open.

He had no idea what level of array it was, but even with Lu Yu's strength, it couldn't be affected at all.

If even Lu Yu couldn't affect the array, one could say that the arrays on the floating island were invincible.

At least, for those entering the fragmented world, these were unbreakable invincible arrays.

There was no other way; Lu Yu could only stroll around hoping to find Zhou Hong.

He walked to both sides of the courtyard, attempting to leap or fly, but there was a flying restriction here, limiting height, preventing him from seeing inside the courtyard.

Reaching the side of the courtyard, Lu Yu paused, looking at a hole under the corner wall, lost in thought.

"Is this... a dog hole?" Lu Yu was a bit uncertain.

This dog hole was too large, at least half a person's height, just needing Lu Yu to crouch to easily crawl through.

Moreover, when he reached out to touch it, there was no array barrier, it was empty.

Just as he hesitated whether to crawl through, battle sounds came from a floating island nearby. Lu Yu glanced at the dog hole for a moment, then turned to the direction the sounds were coming from.

Not far from the dog hole, Zhou Hong, hidden behind a rock garden, watched Lu Yu leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

When he had entered, he forgot to close the dog hole, almost letting Lu Yu discover that he had crawled in through the dog hole.

Zhou Hong definitely didn't want a second person to know about his crawling through the dog hole.

He quickly used a dog emblem in his hand to close the array near the dog hole, then returned to his hiding place, concentrating on cultivation, comprehending his own path of cultivation.

Lu Yu reached the edge of the floating island and found no flying restrictions here.

This was to be expected; if there were flying restrictions between the floating islands, they wouldn't be able to communicate at all.

Lu Yu flew towards the floating island where the battle sounds were coming from. The presence of battle sounds meant presence of people, giving him a chance to ask what this place really was. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As he approached, Lu Yu saw the two sides fighting, surprised.

"Su Peng, why are you here?" Lu Yu asked in astonishment, as he hadn't seen Su Peng's figure in the square in front of the Divination Pavilion, so how did he end up here?

Su Peng had long known someone was approaching, but his senses were restricted by the floating island's arrays, so he didn't know who was coming from behind.
