Volume 2 That World Chapter 14: Outer Realm, Yuxu River!
Before my eyes, the blue light gate continued to shine.
Behind Qi Ji and the others stood several researchers taking photos and recording. Surrounding the light gate, there were various testing instruments in operation.
Yu Chengen and Qin Zijin both looked as if they were used to it.
Yu Chengen stroked his beard, turned around and laughed, "The higher-ups have been researching this every day, but they haven't come up with anything. Don't worry about it, let's go!"
After saying that, he calmly stepped into the light gate and disappeared into the light gate the next moment.
Qin Zijin blinked at Qi Ji and walked into the light gate calmly.
The remaining Qi Ji, Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren looked at each other, there was nothing to say, so they simply stepped in together.
Immediately afterwards, the light of the light gate completely dissipated in an instant, and the light gate turned back into a giant stone door frame.
…
It felt like passing through a membrane.
In a trance, Qi Ji, who was walking forward, suddenly found himself on a huge open platform.
In front of him, Qin Zijin was looking at him with a sweet smile. Next to him stood a tall and handsome middle-aged man. There was a special sense of familiarity between his eyebrows.
"I just came here like this?" Qi Ji was a little confused and asked Qin Zijin softly. "Where is the Sword Saint?"
Qin Zijin chuckled and nodded: "Welcome to the outer realm - Blue Star. As for the Sword Saint..."
She didn't say anything else, but looked at the handsome middle-aged man next to her.
The uncle laughed, and then said cheerfully: "I am Yu Chengen."
Qi Ji looked at the uncle who called himself Yu Chengen in surprise, and immediately thought of the influence of supernatural factors.
Although that’s what I said.
But isn’t it a bit too outrageous for an old man to turn back into a handsome uncle?
"Master, this is what you looked like when you were young." Bai Tianhe's voice sounded behind Qi Ji. Turning around, he saw Bai Tianhe with his eyes wide open, and next to him was Shangquan Yiren with his eyes also wide open .
Shangquan Yiren hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Sword Saint! Is my grandfather here as strong as you?"
Yu Chengen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, although he looks a few years older than me now, he is many times stronger than he looked when he was old in the Inner Realm."
“No wonder…” Shangquan Yiren murmured to himself: “No wonder my grandfather rarely comes back. If it were me, I wouldn’t go back there either!”
Apart from anything else, the fact that Yu Chengen had transformed from an old man into a middle-aged man had completely ignited Qi Ji, Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren's yearning for the extraordinary.
Qin Zijin walked forward with a smile: "Let's talk about small talk later, I will take you to see the Pavilion Master first, okay?"
Yu Chengen also nodded with a smile, and kept it a secret: "Master, you may know him."
Know each other? How is that possible!
Qi Ji just thought it was ridiculous, but when he saw Yu Chengen's rejuvenation, he suddenly felt that everything was possible.
Under the guidance of Sword Saint and Qin Zijin, several people turned around and only then did they have the mind to look around.
Suddenly, the scene of Jiange came into Qi Ji's eyes.
It was obvious that, as Qin Zijin said, Jiange was built in a towering mountain range, and the open square where they were was a bit like the palace square under the mountain scenic area of the original planet.
This square was built halfway up the mountain. Looking down the mountain, you can see countless ancient trees towering into the sky.
Looking up the mountain, a wide bluestone staircase winds up along the mountain peak. At the end of the staircase, you can see a Daxia-style palace faintly located in the misty mountain.
Qi Ji followed Qin Zijin and asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Zijin, I have always wanted to ask you, you have emphasized several times before that those who have not entered the supernatural realm can only come to the outer realm once, and it cannot exceed thirty days. But seeing how familiar you are, it is unlikely that this is your first time here, right?"
Qin Zijin looked at him with a smile and said teasingly: "I thought you didn't pay attention to this matter."
Qi Ji scratched his head: "Actually, I thought about it several times in the past two days, but I forgot to ask every time."
Qin Zijin smiled and replied, "It's very simple, because I am a 'Jian Ge Walker', and Jian Ge specially gave me a pass talisman to travel between the two worlds, which can ensure that I will not be excluded in this world."
So that's how it is. Qi Ji thought thoughtfully. It seems that the so-called restrictions are not too strict in the eyes of some forces.
He remembered something and immediately asked, "We came through that light gate today. Is this the only way?"
Qin Zijin shook his head: "That light gate is a guide gate that can be fixed to our Jiange. There are four similar guide gates in the inner domain, each of which is controlled by several powerful countries. Each gate also corresponds to a fixed location in the outer domain."
"For example, the reception gate of Daxia corresponds to the Donghua Continent of Canglan Star, which is the continent where our Jiange is located. The reception gate controlled by the Nordic countries corresponds to the Xicang Continent of Canglan Star, and so on. Therefore, there will be more Daxia forces and Daxia masters in the Donghua Continent, and more Nordic forces and masters in the Xicang Continent."
She then continued, "In addition to the Jieyin Gate , there is actually another method. Or rather, most of the ancient people who met the requirements at that time used those methods to reach the Outer Realm."
Qi Ji asked curiously: "What is the other method?"
Qin Zijin smiled and said, "Passive travel."
She went on to say, "When you cultivate to the limit of your body or spirit in the Inner Realm, you will naturally be led to the Outer Realm. If you choose to accept this mysterious guidance, you will 'cross' to this side at the right time."
I see... Qi Ji nodded to show his understanding.
It seems that it will not be strange to see some famous ancient people here in the future.
While Qi Ji was asking questions, Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren also followed him and listened to Qin Zijin's introduction, and for a moment they couldn't help but feel fascinated.
During the conversation, Qi Ji and a few others, led by Yu Chengen, climbed up the bluestone stairs. On both sides of the stairs were carefully planted exotic flowers and plants that had never been seen before. The woven fragrance was refreshing. Looking out from the railing, white clouds were lingering in the mountains, making the place look like a fairyland.
They were all professional athletes with much better physical fitness than ordinary people. It didn't take long for them to reach the top of the mountain. The hall shrouded in clouds that they had seen in the square below also revealed its full appearance to everyone.
The main hall is a magnificent building, probably built of stone-like materials, with intricately carved decorations on the walls.
The huge platform in the middle of the hall from the stairs is the real square in front of the Jiange Hall. In several places in the square, you can see many swordsmen in white clothes silently training and exchanging sword skills.
From Qi Ji's perspective, these people were nimble, their sword moves were swift and fierce, and they were at least at the professional fourth level.
On the way, many people took the initiative to say hello to Yu Chengen and Qin Zijin when they saw them. Obviously, the two of them had a considerable status even in the Sword Pavilion with extraordinary powers.
Yu Chengen and a few others were waiting in front of the hall door, and Qin Zijin walked in first to report.
After Yu Chengen's body returned to middle age, he was no longer as unrestrained as he was in old age, but rather a little calmer. He turned around and said to Qi Ji and the other three people, "When you meet the Pavilion Master later, you can all be more natural and don't be too reserved. He was also from the Inner Realm before, so he is more considerate to his fellow countrymen from the Inner Realm."
After thinking for a while, he looked at Shangquan Yiren again and said, "You can be more low-key later. Well, the Pavilion Master probably doesn't like the Sakura people very much, but it's all history. It should be okay for you to be low-key."
Shangquan Yiren suddenly became nervous and immediately leaned towards Qi Ji: "Qi Ji-san! What should I do? I won't die here, will I?"
Qi Ji was panicking himself, so how could he know how to comfort him?
Bai Tianhe was quite calm on the side. Of course he was calm because his master Yu Chengen was his biggest supporter in the outside world.
After a while, Qin Zijin came out and signaled Qi Ji and the others that they could go in.
Entering the main hall, there is a lobby with no height difference. There is a row of people standing on each side of the lobby. From their posture and the aura they exude, it can be seen that they are all powerful masters.
At the deepest part of the lobby, there is a large, plain wooden chair. Sitting on the chair is an old man who looks to be only seventy years old. At this moment, the old man is looking at Qi Ji and others with a kind smile, appearing very gentle.
The old man smiled and spoke first: "I have heard the details from Qin Zijin. First of all, I would like to thank the young men for being willing to help Jiange defend the ring this time. I, Yuxujiang, will never let my own people suffer. Later, I will let them discuss a suitable plan and give the young men appropriate compensation."
Qi Ji and the others nodded seriously to express their gratitude.
Yu Xujiang turned his gaze to Yu Chengen again: "Chengen, this time you have worked hard to go back to the inner domain to run around with Zijin. It must be inconvenient for you to move around there with your old body. I have arranged a place for you. You will set off tomorrow morning. After you settle them tonight, you can go to the Huichun Spring to take a bath to make up for your loss."
Yu Chengen immediately replied: "Pavilion Master, isn't this compensation too expensive? I was supposed to go back to the Inner Region this time, and it was just a piece of cake for me to do things for the Sword Pavilion. How can I ask for a reward?"
Yu Xujiang laughed and scolded: "Why are you being so modest? Be more straightforward. The effect of the Rejuvenating Spring should not be wasted. If you don't use it, you have to give it to others. So I think it's better to give it to you. Just bear with it!"
"Yes, then thank you, Pavilion Master." Yu Chengen nodded, and couldn't help but smile.
Qi Ji didn't listen carefully to the following conversation. Ever since he heard the name Yu Xujiang, he always felt that it sounded very familiar. After thinking hard about it, he suddenly realized.
I couldn't help but exclaim!
"Yu Xujiang! Master Xujiang! Pavilion Master, you are General Yu Dayou! The famous anti-Japanese general who wrote the "Sword Classic"!?"
Yu Xujiang looked at the stunned Qi Ji and laughed: "That's right, there is actually a young man who remembers my past identity! It is me!"
Qi Ji could hardly retract his jaw.
The leader of Jiange Pavilion was actually a famous general during the Great Xia Guang Dynasty? He was an ancient man who lived nearly 600 years ago! ?
