Chapter 151: Chapter 91: Fourth Layer of Destiny, Tangula Abyss
Dongfang Yao nodded and immediately dialed a number. An Ran watched from the side, her face alight with excitement.
Chen Yu sipped his water, listening in. The call connected, and a man’s voice came through. After Dongfang Yao spoke a few words, the man on the other end went silent for a moment.
"Adding another person isn’t an issue. But since they’re not a member of the Alliance, it’s a bit tricky."
A man’s voice came from her watch.
Dongfang Yao said, "I can vouch for them."
"...Alright, I’ll make the arrangements." After another moment of silence, the man’s voice finally replied.
Then, the call ended.
"Who was that?" Chen Yu asked Dongfang Yao, curious.
"My uncle. He’s a Level 7 member of the Alliance," Dongfang Yao answered honestly.
A Level 7 member!!!
Chen Yu stared at Dongfang Yao in shock.
’Damn,’ he thought. ’As expected of a prominent family. She can summon a top dog with a single call.’
A Level 7 member was definitely a high-ranking member of the Alliance.
From what he understood of the Alliance, the strength of a Level 7 member was typically close to that of a Level 9.
While membership level didn’t guarantee absolute power, for high-level members, it was a pretty accurate indicator.
You couldn’t become a high-level member without a certain degree of strength.
Soon, after only about a minute, the watch vibrated, and Dongfang Yao answered the call.
"It’s all taken care of. Just let Xiao Tian know," her uncle’s voice came from the other end.
Dongfang Yao said, "Thanks, Uncle."
"Just come visit me when you have time," her uncle’s warm voice replied.
"I will," Dongfang Yao replied. They didn’t chat for long before the call ended.
’It really pays to have connections...’ Chen Yu thought to himself as he looked at Dongfang Yao.
"So, is it done?"
An Ran looked at Dongfang Yao expectantly.
Dongfang Yao called Lord Xiao. After getting his approval, she hung up and nodded. "It’s done. You can come with us."
"Woohoo! That’s great!" An Ran exclaimed, thrilled.
"Don’t celebrate just yet. This mission is going to be extremely dangerous," Chen Yu added.
An Ran looked unconcerned. "It’s fine. As long as I’m with you two, I’ll feel safe."
"..."
——
Half an hour later, Chen Yu left An Ran’s residence and returned to his own villa.
He changed his clothes, leaned back on the sofa, and logged into the Alliance’s internal network to look up information about the Tangula Mountains.
It was a high-altitude plateau, the spine of the world, perennially covered in ice and snow. In winter, it transformed almost entirely into a world of ice.
The environment was extremely harsh, even for some Low-level Martial Artists.
However, this wasn’t an issue for Chen Yu.
A world of ice and snow would actually give him a natural advantage.
In such a place, his ice-based abilities would be shockingly effective.
After a quick search, Chen Yu logged out.
This new Anomaly Realm had only appeared a few days ago, so there wasn’t even any information about it on the Alliance’s internal network yet.
One thing was clear, however: the environment of the Tangula Abyss was so harsh it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it Hell.
The harsh environment, combined with powerful exotic beasts, made the danger level even higher.
Furthermore, it was impossible to determine how many of the Alien Race were in this Anomaly Realm.
The Abyssal Administration Bureau only had a single piece of data: traces of the Alien Race had been found, but no actual members of the race had been located.
They couldn’t even determine which Alien Race it was.
This was the most troublesome part.
They could be from a powerful civilization, or they could be from a weak one.
Without conclusive evidence, all information regarding the Alien Race in the Tangula Abyss was purely speculative.
Finding traces of the Alien Race—that was their mission.
Exploring the Tangula Abyss itself was secondary.
’The nearest city... that must be Qu City.’ Chen Yu’s gaze drifted out the window.
Looking at the map, Qu City was undoubtedly the closest safe zone to the Tangula Mountains.
It was also one of the few safe zones on the entire plateau.
The number of exotic beasts in the high plateau’s wilderness was by no means less than in the plains or other mountain regions; in fact, there were likely more.
This was because most of the area was uninhabited.
This gave the exotic beasts a natural habitat to thrive in.
The high-altitude environment had no adverse effects on the exotic beasts.
In some cases, the environment could even make them more terrifying.
Chen Yu wasn’t too concerned about any of that, though.
’The main thing is the Tangula Abyss. How much I’ll get out of this trip depends on how many exotic beasts I can kill.’
——
Two days passed quickly.
Chen Yu hadn’t left the academy; he had been cultivating the entire time.
With his physical body’s Evolution reaching Tier Seven, his innate talent had improved once more, and he had successfully cultivated his Celestial Destiny Skill to the fourth level.
His speed at absorbing Spirit Pearls had also increased.
Chen Yu could feel a significant change with his Celestial Destiny Skill at the fourth level; the difference compared to the third level was enormous.
In those two days, his power had steadily increased, completely solidifying his cultivation at the fifth level.
His Qi had surged.
Early on the morning of the third day, Chen Yu, Dongfang Yao, and An Ran slipped out of the academy unnoticed.
They arrived at a military airfield and boarded a prearranged aircraft, heading for the distant Tangula Mountains.
——
Onboard the helicopter, Chen Yu looked down upon the mountains and earth below.
Mountain ranges crisscrossed the landscape, spreading out in all directions like a spider’s web.
Rivers snaked through the terrain, as intricate and complex as the veins of a living thing.
"Brother Yu, what are you looking at?" An Ran leaned over from the side, peering at him curiously.
"Nothing. Just admiring the view," Chen Yu said nonchalantly.
’Admiring the view?’
An Ran stared at him with her big eyes, blinking a few times.
