My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own

Chapter 56: Sneak Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s time to go to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm and take a look.”

Fang Yuan had already done a lot of preparations during this period of time.

It should be more than enough to deal with any sudden situation at the outermost layer of Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm.

Even if he ran into trouble that was difficult to resolve, he could use the Divine Escape talisman given by his second senior to escape.

After settling the matters of leaving the sect and bidding farewell to his master and seniors, he left the Gu Immortal Sect and took a carriage to Fanshu City.

He did not go to visit the Xu clan. Instead, he went to the outside of the mystic realm according to the map on the travel document.

The entrance here was guarded by experts from the empire, and regardless of your identity and no matter which large sect you came from, as long as you did not have a travel document, you were not allowed to enter.

Fang Yuan handed over the copy that Xu Zhiyu had given him, and after the other party confirmed that there was no mistake, they directly let him in.

“Go through the House Gu passage. You will reach the mystic realm after passing through.”

The examining expert’s gaze swept over Fang Yuan’s identity token, and his tone became slightly gentler. “Pay attention, the inside of the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm is another space, and there is currently no way to contact the outside world. You can only return from the entrance.”

Fang Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm itself was in an invisible and undetectable state.

Ordinary Gu masters would naturally not be able to sense the restrictions set by the Tribulation transcender.

They would not be able to enter.

Only this entrance, which was opened by the joint efforts of all the experts, would be unimpeded, unless someone could ignore the restrictions set by the Tribulation transcender and enter from other places.

But this was basically impossible.

Those who came here were basically the elites of the sects, or the disciples of large clans.

It could be said that they were all of the younger generation.

Even Fang Yuan, who had the True Sight Gu, could not break through the illusion and directly look into the inside of the mystic realm, let alone those who did not have such methods.

Passing through the passage, after an intense dizziness, the space shook, and a dense spirit essence that was almost condensed into substance assaulted his nose.

The scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

Fang Yuan was already on an open grassland. Looking around, the mystic realm was pitch black, and he could not see into the distance.

However, the surroundings were filled with fluorescent Gu.

This type of consumable Gu worm only had the effect of emitting light. It did not have much strength, and it only had the effect of dispelling darkness.

Looking at the light emitting from it, there were traces of digging everywhere.

There were no cultivation resources nearby, and even the lowest grade herbs were picked up by others.

This was also a very normal thing.

With only one entrance, the Gu masters who came here would definitely advance in a fan-shaped manner, exploring the mystic realm.

Those with strength could enter the depths, while those with mediocre strength could only walk along the boundary of the mystic realm, exploring the outer area bit by bit.

After a while, the entrance that was explored the most by others naturally had nothing left.

But there were still many Gu masters staying here to chat.

After seeing Fang Yuan appear, someone immediately went forward to ask.

“Friend, do you want to explore the mystic realm together?”

It turned out that he wanted to form a team and travel together.

“No need.”

Fang Yuan casually rejected.

“My team already has three second layer Enlightenment Realm Gu masters, and with me as the leader and also a third layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, it is not difficult for me to explore a little deeper. What is it? Are you looking down on me?”

Fang Yuan only shook his head, saying: “I do not have the habit of giving my back to strangers.”

The other party curled his lips and walked back.

The other teams heard this and also gave up on the idea of persuading him.

Fang Yuan used the power of the True Sight Gu and started to inspect the nearby light sources.

“No one should have explored a place without the fluorescent Gu.”

Saying so, he took out a black robe from his storage space and draped it over his body, entering the darkness with vigor.

In this place, staying in the dark was the only way to survive.

It was not only the Gu worms and mutated beasts that would be a threat. Any unknown Gu master would also be a potential enemy.

As Fang Yuan continued to sneak around, the fluorescent Gu that were originally everywhere became scarce.

During this period, he also met many Gu masters that were passing by.

Their strength were not bad, and even the weakest was at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

In the mystic realm, they would travel in groups.

Now, he had truly entered a dangerous area.

Fang Yuan raised his guard and walked into a forest.

It was pitch-black inside, and it was quiet.

The trees were intertwined with one another, blocking out the sun and sky. Not even a ray of light could come in from the outside, making it look extremely terrifying.

Rustle…

Suddenly, a sound of air being torn apart came from behind.

“Huh?”

Fang Yuan reacted quickly. He had long been prepared and rolled on the ground, dodging the sneak attack from behind.

Boom!

At the next moment, a fireball exploded in front of him, splitting a tree that could only be hugged by three people into two.

The heat wave from the impact even vaporized the nearby weeds and turned them into ashes.

It was enough to see how terrifying the fireball’s power was.

If he did not have time to react earlier and took the fireball head-on, even though he was at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm and had used Gu wine to improve his physique for a long period of time, it would not be good.

It seemed that the opponent was going to kill him as soon as they attacked.

Fang Yuan willed and used Phantom Step to quickly change his position, hiding under a huge tree.

Soon after, he saw a group of people appear at the place where he previously was.

They lit up the fluorescent Gu. There were five of them in total, and the leader was the one who had invited him to join at the entrance of the mystic realm.

The conversation that was deliberately suppressed was heard soon after.

“Strange, he was clearly at this position just now, why did he suddenly disappear?”

“Could it be that Leader’s move was too strong and burned his body?”

“Impossible. I controlled my strength, so even if he was only at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm, he would only be severely injured.”

At this time, the howling of beasts could be heard from the depths of the forest, as if some kind of carnivorous creature was rapidly approaching.

One of them could not help but retreat, “Leader, why don’t we forget about it? This place has not been explored before, it is too dangerous.”

The other two agreed.

“Yes, Leader, we have already gone too far out. If we go any further, we might encounter a third layer Enlightenment Realm mutated beast.”

“It is just a mutated beast, are you afraid that Leader won’t be able to handle it?”

The only female Gu master in the team glared at him. “It’s rare to meet a fool who dares to take risks alone. He looked like a disciple of a large sect, so he must be rich. There won’t be a next time if we let him go.”

The leader’s lips curled, and he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace, moving his palm to her chest and kneading her forcefully.

“You are the most sensible one.”

The female Gu master gave him a coquettish look without any resistance.

The leader pointed at Fang Yuan’s location with his other hand, “He can’t have gone far. Spread out and search, surround him and force him out with the help of the mutated beast as well.”

“But…”

The three people who were ordered hesitated. The beast’s cries from earlier still lingered in their minds.

“What are you afraid of? When the time comes, I will rush over to help. Those who are afraid of death, scram. After we kill that kid, you won’t get a single treasure from him!”

Humans die for money.. The three of them looked at one another and finally made up their minds to listen to the order.
