Free Web NovelChapter 446: 446. Off to get support.
Fang Yuan stepped into the enormous spatial tear first and the others also followed closely behind without hesitation.
The moment they entered, the world around them disappeared.
Endless darkness stretched in every direction.
Violent spatial currents surged past them like roaring rivers, yet none of them came close to the group.
Several moments later, a brilliant light appeared ahead.
The group stepped through it together and watched their surroundings instantly changed.
The endless darkness vanished and instead, an enormous mountain greeted their eyes.
A huge stone cliffs towered into the clouds, while a colossal crevice stretched across the mountaintop like a scar left by the heavens themselves.
The same spatial tear stood suspended above the crevice.
Its edges continuously rippled as spatial currents flowed between the two realms.
Lin Zhaoyue slowly swept her gaze across the surroundings before giving a satisfied nod.
"This isn’t a bad spot."
Fang Yuan did not answer.
The moment his feet touched solid ground, his attention had already shifted entirely toward the enormous spatial tear.
He slowly walked to the edge of the crevice.
His eyes quietly observed the countless invisible relationships extending from the passage.
The Lower Realm and the Higher Realm were still strangers. frёeωebɳovel.com
The enormous tear merely allowed them to meet.
But as long as he can make the two realms to acknowledge one another, he could make the passage become permanent.
Fang Yuan slowly raised his right hand and his fingers gently traced through empty space.
His spiritual sense quietly spread outward as it reached toward the countless invisible relationships hidden beneath the fabric of space.
The spatial tear was merely the surface.
Beneath it lay countless intertwined relationships connecting one realm to another.
Some were stable.
Others were fragile.
Many constantly shifted as the surrounding space naturally adjusted itself.
Fang Yuan patiently observed every one of them.
His perception gradually sank deeper and deeper.
The entire mountain slowly disappeared from his awareness.
The people standing behind him also faded from his senses.
Within his perception, only the endless web of spatial relationships remained.
Countless invisible threads stretched across the void.
They connected the Lower Realm to the Higher Realm in countless subtle ways.
Most of those connections were fleeting.
They formed for only an instant before quietly dissolving once more.
Only a handful endured.
Fang Yuan carefully reached toward those enduring relationships.
His spiritual sense gently brushed against them before slowly weaving them together.
One thread after another quietly intertwined beneath his guidance.
The connection between the two realms gradually became clearer.
Zhu Huan quietly watched Fang Yuan’s back.
Although she could not perceive what he was seeing, she knew better than to disturb him.
Realm ascension was no trivial matter.
If the spatial passage could truly be stabilized, the Fang Family would possess something that countless clans could only dream of.
Her gaze slowly drifted toward the distant horizon.
The Higher Realm was unimaginably vast.
Compared to it, the Lower Realm was little more than a small corner of the world.
Trying to establish a foothold here with only the few people present would never be easy.
After thinking for a long moment, Zhu Huan finally made up her mind.
She turned toward Lin Zhaoyue.
"While Fang Yuan is occupied here, I have a suggestion."
Lin Zhaoyue shifted her attention toward her.
"What is it?"
Zhu Huan spoke calmly.
"We should make a trip to the Flying Crane Sect. Our sect has maintained connections with your Lower Realm for many years. Occasionally recruiting from your realm every now and then, if they learn that your realm is truly ascending, they will certainly send people to assist."
She paused briefly before continuing.
"Stabilizing a permanent passage between two realms is an enormous undertaking.
The more people protecting this place, the smoother everything will proceed."
Lin Zhaoyue remained silent.
She naturally disliked the Flying Crane Sect.
However, she also understood that Zhu Huan’s words carried some truth.
This was no longer merely Fang Yuan’s matter.
It concerned the future of the entire Fang Family.
Gathering additional support would undoubtedly make the process safer.
Zhu Huan quietly waited for her answer.
She had no intention of forcing the matter.
She simply hoped the realm ascension could proceed as smoothly as possible.
Lin Zhaoyue remained silent for several more moments.
Her eyes briefly glanced toward Fang Yuan before returning to Zhu Huan.
Finally, she gave a small nod.
"Very well."
"You may return to the Flying Crane Sect and gather whatever support you can."
Zhu Huan blinked in surprise.
She had expected a bit of a resistance.
Instead, Lin Zhaoyue agreed far more readily than she had imagined.
Before Zhu Huan could respond, Lin Zhaoyue turned toward Peng Tushan.
"You should go with her as well."
Peng Tushan looked up in surprise.
"...Me?"
Lin Zhaoyue nodded.
"You’ve rarely left the Fang Family these past few years. Since you’re already in the Higher Realm, you might as well broaden your horizons."
Peng Tushan instinctively looked toward Zhu Huan.
The latter was equally surprised.
She had fully expected Lin Zhaoyue to keep Peng Tushan here.
Even if it was only as a precaution or a bargaining chip, that would have been the safest choice.
Instead, she was allowing Peng Tushan to leave together with her.
For a brief moment, a strange thought surfaced within Zhu Huan’s mind.
Does she actually trust me?
The thought lasted for only an instant before she quietly shook her head.
She was not that delusional.
Lin Zhaoyue simply understood something.
If Zhu Huan truly intended to leave with Peng Tushan, there was little point in keeping her here by force.
Besides...
Zhu Huan had never intended to run in the first place.
Her gaze slowly drifted toward Fang Yuan, who remained completely immersed within the endless web of spatial relationships.
Who was the strongest person in the Flying Crane Sect?
The answer was naturally Zhao Lusi.
Who was Fang Yuan?
He was Zhao Lusi’s only disciple.
Anyone with even the slightest bit of common sense knew exactly whom they should never offend.
Provoking Fang Yuan over something like this would simply be inviting trouble upon themselves.
Zhu Huan smiled faintly before cupping her hands toward Lin Zhaoyue.
"Thank you, I’ll return as quickly as possible."
With those words, Zhu Huan and Peng Tushan rose into the sky together before flying toward the distant horizon.
Their figures gradually became smaller until they finally disappeared beyond the clouds.
