It can be said that Yi Shuihan has carved out the fastest passage through the misty and dangerous forest, so that people will no longer have to worry about getting lost.

"take a break."

It wasn't that Yi Shuihan was tired. Even if he had been traveling for months or years, let alone just a short time, he wouldn't feel tired. It was just that Fang Qing was different. She was only at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, which meant she was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

He brought out several chairs and even handed Fang Qing a bottle of juice. This kind of treatment made Fang Qing feel flattered. She thought that Yi Shuihan had finally realized her charm. Her mood improved a lot, and she happily drank the juice. Her fatigue quickly disappeared.

"Hurry, run! We'll be leaving this damn place soon."

About ten minutes later, a commotion disturbed Yi Shuihan and the others' rest.

The sounds of running footsteps and roars of beasts rang out continuously.

Before long, several disheveled and dusty-looking guys appeared in Yi Shuihan's sight. They looked anxious and their eyes were panicked.

The one running at the front was taken aback when he saw Yi Shuihan and his group, then shouted loudly.

"Hey you guys in front, turn around quickly! There are Windwalker Bears chasing us."

Yang Xuan thought that the group of strange strangers would immediately take action and join the escape after he shouted, but to his surprise, the young man did not move and seemed not to have heard him. Although the old man's expression changed, he looked at the young man and then remained still. The only girl looked at him with a strange look.

"Damn it, a bunch of idiots, you're not going to run, are you! Let's see if you'll die later."

The Wind Bear is a ferocious, gregarious beast that dwells in a misty, menacing atmosphere. It belongs to the bear family. The reason for adding the prefix "wind-riding" is that it not only has the strength of a bear, but also speed comparable to the wind. In a one-on-one fight, even a martial artist at the Initial Heaven Realm cannot defeat it. When it lives in a group, even a mid-level Heaven Realm expert will die if surrounded.

Yang Xuan and his group actually encountered the Wind Bear while there was a mid-level martial artist present. In the end, the mid-level martial artist died from exhaustion, and the remaining people managed to escape while the Wind Bear was dividing up its food. He was one of them.

They haven't completely escaped the Windwalker Bears yet; a small number of Windwalker Bears are still chasing them.

Yang Xuan quickly ran past Yi Shuihan, and seeing that Yi Shuihan and the others still hadn't moved, he couldn't help but remind them again, "Run! Without the strength to ascend to the heavens, you can't deal with the Wind Bear."

"It's alright, Brother Yi is very powerful."

Yi Shuihan ignored Yang Xuan, while Fang Qing spoke boastfully.

"he?"

Yang Xuan didn't believe Yi Shuihan was any expert. He just assumed Fang Qing was unaware of Feng Xingxiong's power. After all, they were just strangers who had met by chance, and it was already kind of him to remind her twice. Because of this reminder, two people had already surpassed him and gone much further.

Without further hesitation, his already exhausted body unleashed astonishing potential due to the life-or-death crisis, accelerating his escape.

Just a few seconds after Yang Xuan started running again, Feng Xing Xiong finally appeared in the sight of Yi Shuihan and the others.

The Wind Bear is much taller than ordinary bears, standing about 4 meters tall. Its skin is bluish-green, and it has a crescent-shaped mark on its forehead.

Having seen the massive Blackblood Serpent, the Wind Bear was no longer intimidating Fang Qing. Her eyes were fixed on Yi Shuihan, anticipating his display of power.

Seeing Yi Shuihan and his group, the Wind Bears seemed quite surprised, but in the next moment they unleashed an even more astonishing speed, treating Yi Shuihan and the others as prey as well.

"Completely lost and helpless!"

He murmured something, and a semi-circular purple halo suddenly swept from Yi Shuihan toward the direction of the Wind Bears. The Wind Bears that were swept by the halo had a moment of confusion in their eyes, and then their eyes became clear again.

Out of curiosity, Yang Xuan turned around to see what had happened to Yi Shuihan and the others, and then he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded. The young man he hadn't thought much of had somehow managed to emit a semi-circular purple halo, which looked quite powerful.

My first reaction was that I must have seen wrong; that young man was truly extraordinary.

He was prepared to be torn to pieces the moment the Windwalker Bear was swept by the aura; he had even slowed his pace. After all, if the Windwalker Bear died, he wouldn't need to continue running.

However, Fengxing Xiong was unharmed and chased after him again.

He could see it clearly: the Windwalker Bears simply walked right past those people, as if they had never noticed them at all.

"What's going on? Could it be that Wind Bear and his group aren't actually targeting us?"

Chapter 687, Zhou Tian

Because of the slowed speed, Yang Xuan was finally caught up. However, the Wind Bears just brushed past him, just like they had done to Yi Shuihan and the others before.

Having experienced a close encounter with death, Yang Xuan stood there dumbfounded, his mind completely blank.

Fang Qing was somewhat disappointed that she didn't see Yi Shuihan easily crush Feng Xingxiong, but she was even more curious about what Yi Shuihan had done.

"Hey, that person is back!"

Yang Xuan ultimately chose to return to Yi Shuihan's side. He wasn't stupid; he had witnessed the Wind Bears killing people before, and their targets were definitely them. Their strange behavior just now was undoubtedly due to the aura released by Yi Shuihan. Yang Xuan didn't know when that effect would disappear, so the best way was naturally to return and go with Yi Shuihan.

Yang Xuan quickly realized he had made the right decision. Screams came from about a kilometer away, indicating that the people running ahead of him had perished.

"Have you rested enough? If so, let's continue our journey."

Yi Shuihan showed no interest in Yang Xuan, neither accepting him nor directly driving him away.

Li Xia nodded to Yang Xuan in a friendly manner. He could tell that Yang Xuan's strength had reached the Initial Heaven level and was no weaker than his own. Judging from his appearance, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become a Middle Heaven level expert in the future, and he was worth befriending.

Filled with doubt, Yang Xuan followed Yi Shuihan and his group in the direction where Feng Xingxiong had left.

The speed wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either; soon they saw the Wind Bear again.

More than ten animals were feeding on a corpse, two at a time, amidst blood, entrails, intestines, and even the head still dripping with water. The scene was extremely gruesome.

"vomit!"

Fang Qing was the first to vomit because she couldn't stand it.

Li Xia and Yang Xuan were also pale, their stomachs churning, and they were forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit.

"Roar!"

This time, Wind Bear did not ignore Yi Shuihan and the others. It abandoned the half-eaten corpse and pounced on them without even wiping away the blood.

"Watch out! Their claws are sharp."

Yang Xuan shouted a reminder.

"court death"

Yi Shuihan's fingers danced inexplicably in the air, as if he were playing the piano, and the flying bears that pounced on him suddenly exploded.

"bang bang"

"boom……"

None of the Windwalker Bears escaped the explosion; they all met an even more tragic end than the half-corpses, their remains completely destroyed.

"..."

Yang Xuan stared wide-eyed at the bloodstains on the ground, then at Yi Shuihan, who seemed to have done nothing. He was speechless with shock.

What kind of monster have I encountered?

Yang Xuan considered himself a well-informed person who had seen many strong martial artists, including those at the Heavenly Realm.

He had seen people shatter thousand-meter-long waves with a single punch, kick waterfalls backwards with a single kick, and leave behind thousand-meter-long ravines with a single slash. There were also people who could freely control supernatural forces such as fire, ice, and hurricanes. But what happened today truly baffled him.

"Looks brand new!"

Yi Shuihan easily used a cleansing spell, instantly erasing the bloodstains and the still faintly recognizable human remains from the ground.

Even the smell of blood in the air had completely disappeared.

"It's more refreshing this way."

Nodding in satisfaction, without saying goodbye, Yi Shuihan continued on his way.

For the rest of the time, Fang Qing stared at Yi Shuihan's back with a lovesick expression, Li Xia looked at Yi Shuihan's back with awe, and Yang Xuan carefully followed behind, trying to minimize his presence. Not knowing Yi Shuihan, he did not want to attract Yi Shuihan's attention, because if the other party made a move, he would really have no chance of survival.

Passing through the misty and ominous place, you enter another world entirely, the Zhou Tian Secret Realm, currently the largest known secret realm on Earth, covering an area the size of a continent.

The Zhou Tian Sect rules over this vast secret realm. According to ancient legends, the Zhou Tian Sect was already in the secret realm when it appeared. To this day, the Zhou Tian Sect has never weakened and has crushed other sects in every era.

It's not an exaggeration to call it the Zhou Tian Sect if we're talking about a whole country. The disciples of the Zhou Tian Sect are all over the Zhou Tian Secret Realm, and nine out of ten people in the Zhou Tian Secret Realm have some connection with the Zhou Tian Sect.

However, despite this, the number of people who can truly claim to be disciples of the Zhou Tian Sect is pitifully small. In the Zhou Tian Secret Realm, everyone knows that the true core strength of the Zhou Tian Sect consists of the 108 Zhou Tian Generals, also known as the Zhou Tian Star Generals.

Only Zhou Tianxing Generals or their successors can represent the Zhou Tian Sect outside.

Each of these 108 Zhou Tianxing generals is incredibly powerful; even the weakest among them possesses strength comparable to those at the Heavenly Realm.

The level of each generation of Star Generals has never declined, and it is precisely because of this that the Zhou Tian Sect has always been the number one sect in the world, and no one dares to provoke it.

After all, a sect with even one martial artist at the Heavenly Realm can occupy a large secret realm, while the Zhou Tian Sect has over a hundred. You can imagine what that means, enough to make anyone who wants to oppose the Zhou Tian Sect despair.

Yi Shuihan looked down on the Heavenly Realm, but it was actually very strong, so strong that perhaps only one in a million could achieve it. In the world of One Piece, it would be equivalent to a user of Conqueror's Haki.

The martial arts system in this world doesn't significantly increase lifespan. Even after breaking through to the Innate Realm, one can only live up to 150 years, and even those who achieve the Heavenly Realm have a lifespan of only 300 years.

Only the true path, once achieved, will increase lifespan several times over. Unfortunately, true masters of the true path have never appeared in public. They only impart knowledge, such as someone who is suspected of being the true path.

Zhou Tian City, a large city that can accommodate millions of people, is also the only city of the Zhou Tian Sect. Unlike the outside world, it seems to be still in ancient times, with its technology tree in a dormant state, and only the martial arts are respected by the strong.

"This is really the DC universe! Did I just travel to the wrong world?"

Looking at the hundred-meter-high city wall and the martial artists coming and going, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but have some doubts.

Chapter 688, The Stars Visit

Upon entering Zhou Tian City, without Yi Shuihan and his group taking the initiative, a group of people who were clearly law enforcement officers approached them.

"This must be your first time visiting the Zhou Tian Secret Realm, right?"

The person speaking was a martial artist at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, who would be considered an elder in the Pure Yuan Sect, but here he was just a figure similar to a city management squad leader.

"That's right, it's our first time here."

Li Xia stepped forward, releasing a slight amount of his imposing aura.

Sensing Li Xia's imposing aura, the squad leader's expression softened considerably. As a Xiantian cultivator, he held a relatively high position in Zhou Tian City.

"That's right, every newcomer needs to register when they first come here for management purposes."

Li Xia was taken aback; he knew nothing about this. However, Yang Xuan then took out a jade token and said...

“Brother Li, this is indeed the rule here. After registration, they will give us a jade token, which represents the identity of the owner.”

"Then let's make the trip."

Yi Shuihan finally spoke up, saying there was no need to cause a conflict over such a trivial matter.

Led by the squad leader, the group arrived at the registration point.

"Are they all here to register?"

Yi Shuihan pointed to two lines, each about a hundred meters long.

“Indeed, my Zhou Tian Secret Realm is a place that everyone yearns for. Every day, many people who were not originally from my Zhou Tian Secret Realm come here to train.”

The squad leader spoke with great pride about the Zhou Tian Secret Realm.

"Experience?"

Nodding in agreement, Yi Shuihan and the others were indeed led to another side by the squad leader. There was also a level area here, but the line was noticeably shorter, with only four people queuing up.

"This is where martial artists above the Innate Realm register. If you are not an Innate Realm practitioner yourself, but have an elder who is, you can accompany them here."

The squad leader explained.

No matter where you are, the strong always have certain privileges, and this is especially true in the world of martial arts.

The registration process itself was quite simple. Yi Shuihan witnessed a martial artist being asked only a few ordinary questions before the registration was completed.

When it was Yi Shuihan's turn to register, the person in charge only asked three questions: first, their cultivation level; second, their purpose in coming to the Zhou Tian Secret Realm; and third, how long they planned to stay.

Yi Shuihan's announcement of being a "heavenly being" almost caused chaos. The person in charge of registration didn't believe that Yi Shuihan was a heavenly being and told him not to joke around.

Left with no other option, Yi Shuihan flew up and threw a fireball.

The ability to fly is the ability to reach the heavens, and fireballs can be seen as true energy of the fire attribute.

It's a genuine flight to heaven, no doubt about it. This time, the entire registration office was in an uproar.

The people here used to be quite respectful to Yi Shuihan and his companions, but now they hardly treat Yi Shuihan like a grandfather anymore, which shows how high the status of Heaven is.

Not far from the registration office, many people quietly left. They were all sent by various powerful forces in the city to monitor for any promising talents.

Generally speaking, many people who come to Zhou Tian City choose to stay, and if they have good talent, they will be invited by many forces.

When powerful people arrive, they will report the news back to avoid conflict.

The news that a powerful, unfamiliar figure had appeared in Zhou Tian City quickly reached the upper echelons of the Zhou Tian Sect.

The Zhou Tian Mountains, the location of the Zhou Tian Sect.

Feng Ming, the 45th ranked star general, was the first to know the news. With nothing else to do, he decided to go and see this powerful outsider.

……

The reason he kept such a low profile at the registration desk—well, what others would consider high-profile—was naturally because Yi Shuihan wanted to attract attention and get the powerful figures from the Zhou Tian Sect to come looking for him. And clearly, he had achieved his goal.
