Chapter 128: Sacred Ruins City

When Luoluo’s voice rang out, Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed. The grey-robed youth before him actually hailed from the Sword Dynasty. Moreover, Zhou Yuan had already heard of his deeds. It could be said, without exaggeration, that this grey-robed youth was probably one of the top figures among the younger generation in the Boundless Continent. Even against Wu Huang, he likely wouldn't be inferior in the slightest. Zhou Yuan just hadn't expected to encounter him here.

The grey-robed youth also paused. His eyes, covered with a black cloth, lifted, as if looking in Luoluo’s direction. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I also didn't expect to meet the little princess of the Myriad Beast Dynasty here." Hearing this, Zhou Yuan finally understood. No wonder Luoluo had dared to promise him a dukedom in the Myriad Beast Dynasty earlier—she was its little princess. These two were indeed exceptional talents among the younger generation of the Boundless Continent.

The grey-robed youth’s face suddenly turned towards Yaoyao. His somewhat impassive expression seemed to gain a hint of seriousness as he slowly said, "Although there are no Genesis Qi fluctuations on you, I feel you are extremely dangerous." Zhou Yuan's eyelids twitched. This guy, though blind, could "see" more clearly than anyone else. Ordinary people couldn't sense the danger Yaoyao posed. Yaoyao, however, simply ate her roasted meat in elegant, small bites, not paying attention to the grey-robed youth's words.

"And this Genesis Beast..." the grey-robed youth said, looking at Tun Tun. Tun Tun, however, turned its head away, presenting its rear to him, and continued burying its face in its meat. "You seem to be weaker." The grey-robed youth finally looked at Zhou Yuan and said seriously. Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched, his face darkening. *Can't you just eat your meat? Why so many words?*

After the grey-robed youth finished speaking, he fell silent. He ravenously devoured all the roasted meat in his hand, even licking his fingers clean. After eating his fill, he was finally satisfied. He looked up at Zhou Yuan and said, "Thank you, I owe you a favor." Zhou Yuan waved his hand dismissively. "Farewell." The grey-robed youth showed no intention of saying anything more. After speaking, he turned and left, decisively and without any delay.

Zhou Yuan quite admired his straightforwardness. Then he suddenly asked, "Are you going to Saint Remains City?" The grey-robed youth seemed to nod, his steps not stopping. "Want to go together?" Zhou Yuan asked. The grey-robed youth shook his head and said, "I'm used to traveling alone." "Oh," Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "I just wanted to tell you, you've gone the wrong way. Saint Remains City is in that direction." He extended a finger, pointing in the other direction.

The grey-robed youth's steps finally halted, and the atmosphere became awkward again. He seemed to be silent for a while, then somewhat stiffly turned around and swiftly walked in the direction Zhou Yuan pointed. In a few breaths, he disappeared from their sight, his disappearing back looking a bit discomfited. Zhou Yuan watched his vanishing figure, finding it both amusing and perplexing. This guy seemed to have no sense of direction. How did he even manage to walk here alone from the Sword Dynasty?

Luoluo also stared in the direction the grey-robed youth had vanished and said, "This Sword Blind Man seems to have grown stronger again. He's probably about to enter the Absolute Beginning Stage." She clicked her tongue and continued, "It's said that this guy, when he was in the late Heavenly Pass Stage, had already killed cultivators in the Absolute Beginning Stage by fighting above his level. When he enters the Absolute Beginning Stage, I wonder how powerful he'll be. I'm afraid even if Xiao Han and I teamed up, we might not be able to defeat him." Zhou Yuan nodded slightly. This grey-robed youth was indeed formidable. Zhou Yuan felt an intense sense of threat from him, which made him realize that, for now, he was no match for him. After all, starting his cultivation two years later had created a gap between him and these top prodigies. But he also had enough confidence, because he was constantly narrowing the gap between them.

Yaoyao elegantly wiped her rosy lips. She glanced at Zhou Yuan and said, "If Wu Huang is at the same level as him, then you might really be in some danger this time." "Oh? Big Brother, is that Wu Huang your opponent?" Luoluo asked in surprise. Then her big eyes looked at Zhou Yuan with a hint of pity, and she said, "Then you're finished. You definitely can't defeat him. That pervert is incredibly strong. Back when the Sword Dynasty and Great Wu Dynasty went to war, Wu Huang and that Sword Blind Man even had a fight." "Who won?" Zhou Yuan asked curiously. Luoluo chuckled secretly, "It was a draw, so in the end, they each killed one of the other side's Absolute Beginning Stage experts to vent their frustration." Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes. He silently mourned for the two Absolute Beginning Stage experts who had sacrificed themselves. "So, if you meet Wu Huang in the Saint Remains Region, you'd better run away quickly," Luoluo said with a giggle. Zhou Yuan pursed his lips. Wu Huang was indeed strong, but if he could break through to the Heavenly Pass Stage and then advance his spirit to the late Void Realm, his combat power might not necessarily be weaker than his opponent's. However, after Luoluo said this, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of urgency, because he hadn't met either of those prerequisites yet.

"Let's hurry up and go too," Zhou Yuan said. He wanted to quickly reach Saint Remains City and acquire those two types of genesis materials. Only then would he be able to absorb the "Spirit Origin" and help his spirit break through to the late Void Realm. Yaoyao and Luoluo naturally had no objections. So, after a brief rest, they set off immediately. In the following few days, they traveled continuously without stopping. And quickly, they gradually began to approach their destination.

However, just as they were about to leave the mountains, Yaoyao suddenly told the two to wait and slipped into the dense forest alone. Zhou Yuan and Luoluo exchanged confused glances. After waiting for a moment, they saw a figure in white robes leisurely emerge from the dense forest. Both of them were dumbfounded.

The person who walked out had a slender figure, was clad in white, and possessed an exceedingly handsome and fair face. But her original raven hair had vanished into thin air, and the previously full curves of her chest were somehow concealed, becoming flat. Yaoyao had transformed directly from a young woman into an incomparably handsome young man. "What are you doing?" Zhou Yuan was completely bewildered.

Yaoyao said calmly, "A woman's appearance attracts too much attention. It's troublesome." Back in that ancient city, it was her beauty that had attracted the trouble with Gu Ling. Although they ultimately benefited, for Yaoyao, it was simply an unnecessary hassle. Therefore, she simply disguised herself as a man. "So handsome!" Luoluo's big eyes sparkled beside her, because Yaoyao, disguised as a man, was simply too handsome at the moment. Even someone who knew her truth like Luoluo felt a stir in her heart. "Your appearance... it's completely stealing my thunder," Zhou Yuan said with a slight ache in his teeth. He was originally quite handsome, even charming, but compared to Yaoyao in front of him, he was instantly relegated to a mere background. "What 'thunder' do you have to steal?" Yaoyao casually took out a folding fan, looking handsome, ethereal, and perfectly peerless.

"Tun Tun is yours now. It wouldn't look good for me to hold it while disguised as a man." Yaoyao casually tossed the innocent-looking Tun Tun to Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan looked at Tun Tun in his arms, his face darkening. *I'm the real man here, okay? Does holding a pet make me look good?* But Yaoyao paid no attention to this. She waved her small hand and leisurely walked forward. "Let's go."

Watching her figure, Zhou Yuan could only sigh deeply in the end. He placed Tun Tun on his shoulder and quickly followed. In front of them, as the dense forest dissipated, the view suddenly opened up. They saw in the distant front a city so magnificent that it was awe-inspiring, standing tall between heaven and earth. Above the city, a massive Genesis Rune barrier enveloped it. Throughout the sky, there was a continuous whooshing sound as figures, stepping on Genesis Qi, rapidly arrived from all directions, descending into the city.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath as he gazed at the scene before him. A burning anticipation gradually emerged in his eyes. This was it—the city closest to the Saint Remains Region! Countless prodigies from the Boundless Continent were gathering here.
