Capítulo 1542: Chapter 1: Princess Qingyan
“Ah!!!”
Above Heaven’s Dome, a black object was rapidly falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No one knew his origins, nor why he appeared here.
Clear skies, emerald seas. It was supposed to be a perfect day for a soak or a hike, but all those good vibes were ruined by this black object.
“Boom!”
Carried to this world by the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring, Lin Yifan plunged into a massive natural spring like a surface-to-air missile.
“Splish splash!”
Almost simultaneously, two dripping figures emerged from the water.
Separated by three meters, their eyes met, and after discerning each other’s gender, both let out startled cries.
“Ah!!!”
“Ah!!!”
“Pervert! You’ve got some nerve sneaking into Heavenly Spring, spying on the princess bathing, deserve death! Deserve death!!”
“Someone, quickly put him to death!”
With her command, several powerful figures emerged from the dense forest surrounding the natural spring.
Lin Yifan didn’t expect that the language in the Realm of Longevity would be the same as in Shenzhou Country, making things convenient.
Back to the situation at hand, the frantic, infuriated woman before him claimed to be a princess, and judging by the female guards flying out from the surrounding forest, whose realms weren’t low, Lin Yifan felt he had provoked the authoritative figures of this country, and was extremely unlucky.
“Damn! That Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor is really malicious, dropping me midway, causing me to fall into a time tunnel. Luckily, this is the Realm of Longevity, otherwise I’d be doomed.”
Complaining was of no use now; better to resolve the crisis at hand.
Feeling the surroundings, he discovered the realms of these female guards were all above the True Master First Realm, while he had just ascended to the True Master Realm, not their match at all, what to do?
He thought of the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor; that old man was so powerful, surely capable of dealing with these people. So he summoned cultivation power to call the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor.
But after several calls, he received no response, nor could he sense the presence of the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor, feeling uneasy, with a bad premonition.
“Could that old man have exhausted his immortal power and vanished into thin air?”
If that were true, then he would have to face these powerful female guards alone.
But how should he face them? Hide within the Immortal Ring? But then he might never come out, what good would that do?
“Since there’s no hiding, let’s fight!”
So, he pulled a weapon from the Immortal Ring, drew his sword, and battled fiercely against these martial arts savvy female guards.
Courage was commendable, but it didn’t change the circumstances, and after a few moves, he was captured.
Just as these female guards were about to kill him, the girl claiming to be a princess abruptly changed her mind, shouting, “Wait!”
“Princess Qingyan, this man has offended you, why spare him?” The female guards were puzzled.
“Since he is as good as dead, why not use him as bait to lure the Wall Water Yu out.”
“Indeed, the princess is wise, thinking of this two-birds-one-stone strategy.”
“Whew!”
Lin Yifan breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they didn’t immediately take his life, he still had a sliver of hope.
However, he rejoiced too soon, as an impending catastrophe awaited him.
The soak was ruined, and Princess Qingyan didn’t want to stay here anymore, so she went ashore to change clothes, preparing to leave with her team.
Lin Yifan had been taken far away, making it impossible for him to spy on the princess changing clothes.
Having changed, Princess Qingyan gathered everyone and continued their journey.
Observing the strangely dressed and styled man behind, the guards began to discuss, wondering which country this oblivious fellow belonged to.
“Why would he, a mere True Master First Realm early-stage cultivator, dare so boldly to intrude into the princess’s Heavenly Spring and spy on the princess bathing?”
“Either he’s an assassin, a lecher, or has mental problems.”
“I think he seems more like an assassin, especially since this Tianze Country isn’t safe!”
“True! The surrounding countries are stirring, likely planning to wage war on Tianze Country.”
“Princess Qingyan came to the Muyu Mountains searching for the Wall Water Yu to obtain the Wall Water Pearl. If she manages that, she can set up the Four Constellations Water Formation. Then, anyone wishing to attack Tianze Country will face defeat.”
“While it’s a lovely thought, reality is harsh. You must know this Wall Water Yu is a Divine Object with a very high realm; even if we all charge together, it’s unlikely we’re its match. Moreover, the Wall Water Yu hides in a waterhole with abundant water systems year-round; if we approach with such fanfare, it might just scare off the Wall Water Yu. So completing the task is tough!”
“Indeed! We need a bait to lure the Wall Water Yu out.”
“Right! Fortunately, Princess Qingyan caught a sacrificial lamb; otherwise, one of us would be unfortunate.”
…
During these whispered conversations, Lin Yifan heard several keywords: Tianze Country in trouble, Wall Water Yu, Wall Water Pearl, and Four Constellations Water Formation.
Honestly, he didn’t know what the Wall Water Yu was, as he had never even heard of such a creature.
Moreover, the Wall Water Pearl and Four Constellations Water Formation were utterly unfamiliar, unknown in purpose or function.
The only thing he understood was that he was bait, with no human rights whatsoever.
His current predicament was thanks to the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor.
He really wanted to curse that old man, who promised him a wonderful cultivation environment and carefree life, yet now he was reduced to less than a prisoner.
At least a prisoner has a place to stay and food to eat, whereas he was directly sent to die.
If he was lucky, fine, but unlucky, he’d be devoured by the Spirit Beast here.
Blaming the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor was one aspect, but insufficient personal strength was also a reason.
He initially thought his realm was high, but in the Realm of Longevity, it was nothing; this place was swarming with immortals, no empty claim.
“Alas! Had I known, I would have cultivated to the True Master Five Realm Peak before coming.”
Regret was useless; he needed to think of how to overcome this crisis.
As he walked, the scenery unfolded before him, and Lin Yifan noticed that this place was enchanting; many bizarre ancient trees abound, even many plants and animals he had never encountered before.
This was truly a natural oxygen bar, the air extremely fresh. Besides, the abundant spiritual energy was several times that of their Home Planet.
Overall, this was an ideal cultivation world, no wonder cultivators on the Home Planet scrambled desperately to seek longevity here; indeed, it was a nurturing place.
Led by Princess Qingyan, the troop soon reached the Wall Water Yu’s habitat.
Here, surrounded by mountains with numerous water systems, it resembled a maze, challenging for ordinary people to navigate.
