Chapter 258 The Extraordinary People of the Celestial Realm
"set off!"
Duan Zhengchun casually threw the young man to the ground, then turned around and shouted at everyone.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone got back into the carriage and slowly walked towards the pass.
The group of young people lying on the ground watched helplessly as more than a dozen carriages passed by, feeling utterly resigned.
Just after the group had gone some distance, one of the young men suddenly remembered something, quickly pulled out a signal arrow from his pocket, and immediately fired it into the sky!
Duan Zhengchun, having passed through the pass, stood on the carriage shaft, glanced back at the whistling arrow that shot straight into the sky behind him, frowned slightly, and then ignored it.
He had just learned from the young man that the people he had injured were sword slaves responsible for guarding the Heavenly Domain Pass, and came from various sects within the Heavenly Domain.
Their mission is to prevent people from the mortal realm and the celestial realm from entering each other's realms!
After walking a short distance, everyone curiously stepped out of the carriage or stuck their heads out of the windows, gazing at the mysterious world before them!
The area inside and outside the pass is almost a completely different world!
Outside are boundless deserts and Gobi, while inside are endless mountains and forests. The clouds are low and the mist is swirling, making it feel like you are in a fairyland!
It seems like you could reach out and touch the sky!
Everyone was curious about this world, which had never been mentioned in history books, and no one knew what they would encounter next.
Everything is unknown.
...
Half a day later.
Tianyu Pass.
Several figures stepped through the air and landed steadily at the entrance of the tower at the top of the pass, then slowly walked inside.
The young man at the head of the group was dressed in white, and his every move exuded an extraordinary air, though his face remained expressionless.
However, when he entered the tower and saw the twenty-two sword slaves lying on the ground, kneeling and healing their wounds, his expression darkened almost instantly, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
For thousands of years, Tianyu Pass has never experienced any trouble!
"What exactly happened?! Who did this?!"
"How many people have left their posts without permission?!"
The young man in white glanced around and asked coldly.
There is an unwritten rule in the Heavenly Realm: no one may enter the mortal world without permission!
"It wasn't that someone left without permission, but that an ordinary person intruded..."
One of the young men struggled to his feet, bowing respectfully as he explained.
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, the young man in white's expression visibly changed.
"Not only did a mortal intrude, but he also injured all of us, and even wounded two Fire-Scaled Beasts..."
The young man lowered his head, looking remorseful, and continued speaking.
"Only one person?!"
The young man in white frowned and pressed for an answer in a deep voice.
The young man nodded and said slowly, "There are quite a few people, probably dozens, but only one person made a move."
"His sword is so fast, so incredibly fast, that it's impossible to predict how he'll strike next..."
"Moreover, he can control his sword with his inner energy, and even fly on his sword..."
Upon hearing this, the young man in white was completely stunned, unable to describe the disbelief in his heart.
For thousands of years, no one from the Celestial Realm has ever entered the mortal realm. However, there was indeed one person from the mortal realm who entered the Celestial Realm, but that was a long time ago!
He had only heard about it from the elders within the sect.
Now, someone from the mortal realm has actually broken into the Heavenly Realm, and they are incredibly powerful!
"Immediately notify all major sects that a mortal has intruded into the Heavenly Realm!"
"Also, find out where that group of people went as soon as possible. They are numerous and powerful, and they will definitely leave traces!"
"It seems the Heavenly Realm is about to descend into chaos again!"
After a moment of contemplation, the young man in white coldly gave an order to his subordinates following behind him.
"Yes!"
The subordinate immediately bowed and agreed, then quickly turned and left.
"Just wait to be summoned back to your respective sects to be punished!"
Immediately afterwards, the young man in white glanced at the group of young people on the ground with a stern face, then turned and left.
Upon hearing this, the twenty-two young men who were sitting on the ground healing their wounds exchanged glances, their expressions solemn and their brows furrowed with fear.
...
After traversing long mountain ranges and forests, Duan Zhengchun and his group entered a small town on the border of the Heavenly Realm.
As more than a dozen carriages drove into the town in full view of everyone, they immediately attracted a lot of strange looks. Almost all the pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks, and everyone's face was filled with surprise.
Clearly, judging from the attire of the westward-bound group, the people living in the town could immediately recognize that they were not from the Celestial Realm.
Duan Zhengchun sat on the carriage shaft, sipping wine from his gourd while surveying the surrounding streets. He noticed that the layout of the area and the appearance of the people around him seemed no different from the towns and people in the mortal realm.
Not long after, the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of a restaurant.
Duan Zhengchun led the women and the baby off the carriage and went straight into the restaurant.
The once bustling restaurant fell silent the moment Duan Zhengchun and his entourage appeared. Everyone stopped talking and what they were doing, and looked at the entrance in surprise.
"Waiter, prepare some wine and dishes, the best of everything."
"Prepare more, there are still many people outside."
Ignoring the strange looks, Duan Zhengchun led the group to a seat and then called out to the waiter who was standing there in a daze.
"Huh? Oh!"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed and walked quickly toward the kitchen with a suspicious look on his face.
An elderly shopkeeper, well over sixty, standing behind the counter, sized up Duan Zhengchun, his brows furrowed slightly, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Wushuang and the others, sitting around the table, whispered among themselves, discussing what they had seen and heard on their journey into the Heavenly Realm, seemingly growing more and more curious about this mysterious world.
Duan Zhengchun shook the wine pot, downed the last of the wine in one gulp, and then gazed at the street outside the restaurant, gradually falling into deep thought.
"These people from the Heavenly Realm seem no different from those outside the pass."
After a long while, Xiaolongnu, sitting next to Duan Zhengchun, whispered something.
"Do not..."
Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said something.
"what have you found?"
Xiaolongnu curiously approached and whispered a question.
"Although it looks the same outside, the people here, even the ordinary folks, are all physically extraordinary! Their strength seems to be much greater than that of the people back home!"
"Moreover, everyone possesses some degree of internal energy! It's as if they're all martial arts practitioners!"
Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
He had initially thought they were two different things, but while he was deep in thought just now, he quickly realized this.
Even children as young as a few years old seem to possess remarkable skills!
Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately turned to look at the other diners who were still glancing at them from time to time, as well as the endless stream of pedestrians outside the restaurant.
Soon, she also noticed this, and couldn't help but look worried, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
Before long, the waiter brought the food out of the kitchen and placed it on the table.
The old shopkeeper, who had been standing behind the counter observing for a long time, slowly came out and personally carried two jars of wine to the front.
Seeing the table full of delicacies, Lu Wushuang and the others could no longer contain themselves. After receiving Duan Zhengchun's permission, they immediately began to eat.
Since entering the far west, they had hardly had a proper meal. Now that they could finally have a decent meal, how could they not be excited?
The old shopkeeper slowly placed the wine jar on the table and personally poured a bowl for Duan Zhengchun.
"Thank you."
Duan Zhengchun glanced at it sideways, said something casually, and then picked up the bowl and took a sip.
As the wine entered his mouth and went down his throat, Duan Zhengchun's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that the wine in a random restaurant on the street would be so delicious, completely exceeding his expectations.
"Sir, you must be from beyond Tianyu Pass?"
The old shopkeeper glanced at the others sitting next to Duan Zhengchun and asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying calmly.
Since it has already been identified, there is no need to lie or make up anything.
"The last time a mortal entered the Heavenly Realm was more than a hundred years ago. After so many years, it seems that you are no ordinary mortal. You must have extraordinary abilities, otherwise you would not have been able to pass the Heavenly Realm's Sword Slave test."
The old shopkeeper smiled and said meaningfully...
