Soul Plate seemed a little nervous as he grabbed Lin Xuanzhi’s arm, “Can I really leave the Five Continents?”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Naturally it’s true, and thanks to you, I also left the Five Continents as a soul body together with you.”
Soul Plate suddenly disappeared.
Lin Xuanzhi stood in the same place for a while. The Soul Plate that had vanished slowly appeared in front of him again.
Soul Plate’s eyes were a little red and he looked like he was crying.
Lin Xuanzhi urged, “Cry if you want. I won’t laugh at you. Why do you have to find a place to hide?”
Soul Plate’s neck stiffened as he denied, “How could this Venerable possibly cry? Are you blind?”
Lin Xuan responded secretively. “In the last life, when you found out that you could leave the Five Continents, you were also like this.”
Soul Plate, “…”
Damned brat!
It made sense if you thought about it. Soul Plate was already prepared to die in this Five Continents. At first, he was still trying to leave the Five Continents, but later he found out that he actually couldn’t even get out of the soul plate, so his fighting spirit slowly dissipated.
Now, as soon as he heard that he still had a chance to leave the Five Continents and traverse the Nine Lands without being trapped, he was naturally overjoyed. His mood was hard to calm and he was a little excited.
Soul Plate spoke lazily, “Since you know all about that, you must also know that the reason why the Five Continents are now sealed by a barrier is due to the Five Continents’ realm being an immense burial site for gods.”
“…I didn’t know that.”
Soul Plate, “…”
Soul Plate stared at Lin Xuanzhi emotionlessly.
Lin Xuanzhi also stared back impassively.
Moments later, the corners of Soul Plate’s mouth twitched. “Why didn’t I tell you about such an important matter in the last life?”
Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment, “Perhaps because I was wholeheartedly absorbed in refining magic treasures in my last life and couldn’t free myself, so even if you told me this, I still won’t remember them.”
Soul Plate’s voice was cold and detached, “Nonsense.”
“Alright, fine. What you said at that time was that this place is an enormous burial site for demons.”
Soul Plate rolled his eyes. “A demon god is also a kind of god.”
Lin Xuanzhi mused, “Originally, this realm was still a place where gods were buried. So that’s why neither demons nor non-demons could break through the Five Continents’ barrier.”

Knowing that he had accidentally revealed this information to Lin Xuanzhi, Soul Plate shut his mouth and continued to wander around in the spiritual plant field. From time to time, he also pulled some spiritual herbs and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them.

Lin Xuanzhi looked at him speechlessly. “Then you’d better stop eating. It’s too wasteful.”
Soul Plate was extremely dissatisfied, “This Venerable has been so starved that I look like this, yet you still want to deprive me of the right to eat. Aren’t you too cruel?”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Soul Plate’s naked chest, where his ribs could clearly be seen, and could not help curling his lips. “You’re right.”
Soul Plate was just about to nod when Lin Xuanzhi continued, “I’ll go outside and buy some spiritual plants another day and bring them back for you, so you can eat your fill.”
Soul Plate, “…”
How could the spiritual plants outside compare to the ones here? This brat Lin Xuanzhi is so cunning, devious, and petty!
After taking care of the spiritual herbs, Lin Xuanzhi left the soul plate’s space.
Another three days later, Esteemed Huai Yu finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yan Tianhen dozing off beside him with his chin resting on his hands. He immediately suppressed his initial urge to cut someone down with his sword.
Esteemed Huai Yu looked at Yan Tianhen, and Yan Tianhen also just heard the movement and opened his eyes.
Yan Tianhen had some dark circles under his eyes, which made his eyes look bigger.
“Why am I here?” Esteemed Huai Yu was a little confused.
Yan Tianhen yawned, “How would I know why you’re back here? Martial Uncle said that you tried to break through the Five Continents’ barrier and ended up in failure. You almost suffered a Qi deviation. Martial Uncle Lan Yue has been clearing up your spiritual Qi pathways for three days and three nights. I thought you were going to keep on sleeping like this forever.”
Esteemed Huai Yu touched his face and asked awkwardly, “I didn’t say any nonsense in my sleep, did I?”
Yan Tianhen glanced at Esteemed Huai Yu askance, “What do you think you would say?”
Esteemed Huai Yu grinned, “For example, whether I accidentally told you about my Senior Martial Brother’s embarrassing childhood stories.”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
I don’t think you have the guts.
Yan Tianhen stood up and took out the Voice Transmission Bell, “I’ll tell Martial Uncle.”
“Don’t!” Esteemed Huai Yu pressed Yan Tianhen’s hand down and smile ingratiatingly, “Ah Hen darling, we don’t have to disturb my Senior Martial Brother now. Why don’t we tell him in a few days?”
When facing Esteemed Lan Yue, you could use only one word to describe Esteemed Huai Yu, which was — Terrified.
And it also had to be a capitalized kind of Terrified.
“Do you think that I won’t find out if you didn’t let Ah Hen tell me?” While they were speaking, Esteemed Lan Yue pushed open the door and entered in a robe embroidered with stars, the moon, and the celestial bodies. His long hair looked wholly untouched by the mortal world, like a waterfall behind him, which was very eye-catching.
However, Esteemed Huai Yu stood up at once, staring at Esteemed Lan Yue and sizing him up. “Senior Martial Brother, have you gone to divine the stars again?”
Esteemed Lan Yue swept a glance over him, “Is there anything unusual about this?”
Esteemed Huai Yu rubbed his nose, “Seems like there’s nothing unusual, but as far as I know, Senior Martial Brother, you haven’t divined the stars for a long time.”
“That’s because there was no need.” Esteemed Lan Yue answered, “Do you have any misunderstanding about us prophets?”
Don’t tell me that all a prophet should do every day is divination, divination, and more divination?
Esteemed Huai Yu hurriedly shook his head.
Yan Tianhen also found this funny and laughed all of a sudden.
Esteemed Huai Yu felt that he lost a lot of face, but he couldn’t truly be angry with Ah Hen either, so he could only roll his eyes at himself.
Esteemed Lan Yue spoke, “Now that you are awake and no longer ill, it is time to enter closed-door cultivation.”
Esteemed Huai Yu, “…” I knew I couldn’t escape this.
“Senior Martial Brother, I’m already this old, but you still punish me with closed-door cultivation like you did when I was a child,” Esteemed Huai Yu argued.
Esteemed Lan Yue replied flatly, “Your age indeed increased, but your temperament and behavior are even worse than a child’s.”
Esteemed Huai Yu suffered critical damage and responded with great disapproval, “This matter really was a big accident. If I had known that the barrier’s enchantments would be so stubborn, I certainly wouldn’t have tried to break it with all my strength.”
Esteemed Lan Yue gave him a glance, “It’s fine if you merely wanted to try breaking it, but you just had to go to the northernmost part of the North Continent to try. The Qi family’s mountain top was almost flattened by the lightning you attracted over. Even now, they are still looking for the culprit and are threatening to beat him beyond recognition.”
Not only was Esteemed Huai Yu not afraid, he even rejoiced. He rolled up his sleeves, eager to give it a try. “Ever since I came to the Five Continents, I haven’t fought anyone. You’d better let the Qi family send someone over to die and let me practice at the same time!”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
Esteemed Lan Yue, “…”
“The period of secluded cultivation has been extended from three months to half a year.”
“Senior Martial Brother…”
“This is non-negotiable.”
Esteemed Huai Yu wilted.
Yan Tianhen laughed, “Master, I will raise these spiritual plants for you. Don’t worry.”
Esteemed Huai Yu rolled his eyes and grabbed Yan Tianhen’s arm. “What are you happy about? You’re entering closed-door cultivation with me. You will not be allowed to leave secluded cultivation until you become a Primary Realm cultivator!”
Yan Tianhen got a fright and hurriedly took two steps back. “How can that be? Dage and I still need to go to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest and train with Tianwen Gege.”
Esteemed Huai Yu frowned slightly, “Go to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest? Why are you being so harsh on yourself?”
“Brother Yuyang needs two kinds of medicine that can only be obtained from the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.”
Esteemed Huai Yu remarked, “I went to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest a few days ago when I was looking for a good spot to break through the Five Continents’ barrier.”
Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up, “What’s the situation inside now?”
Esteemed Huai Yu answered secretively, “The situation is not very good. A smaller barrier has almost finished forming over the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. I couldn’t get into this place at all, or in other words, it’s impossible for any cultivator at or above Profound Realm to enter the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.”
Yan Tianhen asked in surprise, “How did this happen?”
Esteemed Lan Yue lightly remarked, “It seems that my guess is correct. The barrier of the Five Continents has begun to form all over the world.”
Esteemed Huai Yu and Yan Tianhen turned to Esteemed Lan Yue at the same time.
Esteemed Lan Yue explained, “The other day, I found changes in the star chart, so I tried to make a divination. In the end, I discovered that barriers similar to the Five Continents’ barrier were in the process of forming in certain locations, namely, the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest in the West Continent, the group of islands in the South Continent, the Ice Lake in the northernmost part of the North Continent, and Sky Peak Sect in the Central Continent.”
Esteemed Huai Yu was stunned. “You mean, these places will separate into smaller versions of the Five Continents soon?”
Esteemed Lan Yue nodded with a slightly grave expression, “Yes, and I’m afraid that the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest will be the first barrier. I don’t know if this has anything to do with the great demonic beast that controls the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. However, from the fact that you cannot enter the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, it can be speculated that the barrier of the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest can at most allow entry to cultivators below Profound Realm.”
Esteemed Huai Yu gasped, “If that’s truly the case, then once the barrier is formed, won’t all living beings at or above Profound Realm in the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest be crushed to death?”
Esteemed Lan Yue nodded, “It’s quite possible. However, there is no need to worry about this for the time being. The formation of this natural barrier will take hundreds of years, not one day.”
Esteemed Huai Yu was immediately depressed, “It’s easy to say that. However, I originally thought that there was something I wanted in the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, but now I can’t even enter. How will I find it?”
Yan Tianhen chimed in at the right time, “Master, please tell me what you’re looking for. When I go there later, I can also keep an eye out for it for Master.”
Esteemed Huai Yu rolled his eyes, “Is an item that your Master wants something a brat like you can find?”
Yan Tianhen scratched his head, “I can still help you find information on it.”
Esteemed Huai Yu smiled, “It’s enough if you have this sense of filial piety. Master knows that you are filial, but you shouldn’t be worried about these matters.”
Esteemed Lan Yue looked at Yan Tianhen, “Where’s your Dage?”
thanks for the update
Thank you so much for the chapter!(๑´>᎑<)~♥️
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^
So the time when these people will break through the barrier and go to Nine Lands is coming closer?
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
LY and HY have known each other since childhood? That’s crazy!
I wonder which one is older. LY seems older because of his maturity level.
I can’t help but scratch my head when the Soul Plate said that the Five Continents is the burial site for the gods. That makes no sense to me because LXZ and everyone is there.
🤨
¡¿Eh?! Los 5 continentes, lo más bajo de poder, un lugar de entierro de los dioses demonios?!
Jajajaja nunca esperé que YM temiera a algo… inesperadamente el teme a LY
….and Sky Peak Sect in the Central Continent.”
I had a feeling this is another scheme from those villains in Upper Realm. To limit the space to make searching easier, to kill potential talents that can makes the search harder and gain better control of the Five Continent (since one side got one barrier, and obviously there is at least one reclusive family on each side).
