Above all spirits

Chapter 256 Don't Make Unfounded Promises

Gu Yun made a rough estimate and shook his head with some regret. If these two peak Saint Body cultivators continued to advance at this speed without any other opportunities, they would indeed die, just as he had initially predicted.

He closed his eyes and focused his senses on Werner's location. The aura was much clearer than before, and the sensing point had not moved. It seemed that Xiao Li and the others had safely arrived in the Titan Realm.

really.

After lingering in the gap between the realms for a while, Gu Yun saw several familiar faces gathered in front of him, waiting for him. Among them, Xiao Li was the first to notice Gu Yun's figure and waved to him, signaling him to come in this direction.

As they approached to a certain distance, the dark shadow attached to Xiao Li instantly returned to Gu Yun's body. The small dark shadow reappeared on Gu Yun's shoulder, panting heavily.

"Gu boy, if you don't come soon, I'll be seeing my great-grandmother soon!"

"Quick, quick, quick, give me some air, let me stay alive!"

Gu Yun glanced at him, and despite some doubt, she still channeled her innate energy into the shadowy figure. Instantly, the little shadowy figure visibly became fuller, as if it had regained its vitality.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

The little black figure said this.

"You have the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will - boundless blessing, can you be the same?"

"Can you play demanding single-player games on your laptop for several hours without it being plugged in?"

That's what they say, but Gu Yun still didn't quite believe it. "I didn't ask you to fight. You couldn't even fly for a while?"

Try to provoke them.

"But we've only been apart for a quarter of an hour, haven't we? Could it be that your stamina isn't even enough for a quarter of an hour?"

"It's truly heartbreaking."

"It's at least a pseudo-innate level capacity."

"It seems I'll have to separate you from time to time to train your stamina."

The little black figure immediately straightened his back and said unhappily.

"Who said that? Who said that? Your words are ambiguous!"

"Don't spread rumors!"

"You'll be sued for defamation!"

"I just meant my battery was low, you know? I still have a backup hidden battery!"

Gu Yun revealed a knowing look and chuckled.

"Then may I ask what percentage of your total battery capacity is hidden on your back?"

The little black figure said arrogantly.

"seventy!"

You ride a horse!

OK OK.

You still have over 70 units of electricity and you're complaining about being out of power?

You really are a dog.

Immediately afterwards, the scenery in Gu Yun's vision changed, and a thick, earthy aura rushed towards him. He knew that he had left the boundary gap and arrived at the Titan Realm.

The void within this realm was indeed completely different from the human realm. The void space did not have that ethereal feeling of being in a fairyland; instead, it was filled with a heavy, oppressive power, and the energy required to move forward each time far exceeded that of the human realm.

As Gu Yun flew through the void of the Titan Realm, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the floating giant rocks around him.

These rocks are not simply piles of dust; they come in various shapes and emit strange luster within them. They are likely some kind of stone material unique to the Titan realm but relatively rare in the human realm.

However, it is rare and probably not widely used, otherwise it would be impossible for such a large number of rocks to appear at the edge of the boundary gap.

In short, it's rare but worthless.

Gu Yun withdrew his gaze and looked back at Xiao Li, Shi Hao, and the others who had flown to his side.

Xiao Li, with obvious joy on his face, took the lead in approaching Gu Yundao.

"Big brother, you've finally arrived."

"Don't really leave me alone in this Titan Realm."

"I'm really going to cry my eyes out, for me..."

Xiao Li seemed to realize something and continued speaking telepathically.

"With my strength before I entered the Holy Body stage, it is difficult for me to move around here, and it requires a lot of my energy."

"I don't know how I'll survive without you! Quick! Put on my battle suit to keep me alive!"

Gu Yun's forehead veins bulged slightly. He gently patted his shoulder and said calmly.

"Don't worry, you won't die. This is also a kind of training. If you can't hold on, I'll be there for you."

"Your foundation is currently rather weak, so this is a good opportunity to strengthen it."

Ignoring Xiao Li's face, which had suddenly turned as if he had eaten a bitter melon, Ranzi greeted Shi Hao and Yu Mo.

"How was it? Nothing else happened along the way, right?"

Although he deliberately avoided mentioning his previous display of pseudo-innate strength to cover their retreat and block the rockfall, hoping to downplay their stereotypes about innate beings, a slight distance still remained.

After all, the time required to go from the peak of the Sacred Body to the pseudo-innate level is even longer than the time required to cultivate from scratch to the peak of the Sacred Body. Their strengths are on two different levels.

Perhaps in their eyes at this moment, Gu Yun is a rejuvenated, hundreds-of-years-old master.

To address such a person as a brother is clearly disrespectful.

Shi Hao became noticeably more reserved at this moment, but the complex emotions on his face were difficult to completely conceal.

"Brother Gu... Senior Gu, I never expected you to be a Xiantian expert. I am truly sorry for my disrespect."

"With the help of my seniors, the journey went very smoothly."

"I don't know..."

His words abruptly stopped, and he seemed hesitant, unsure how to begin.

Yu Mo bowed slightly to Gu Yun with gratitude, but even Shi Hao was at a loss for words. He couldn't say anything, and even felt a chill when he thought about it. If Gu Yun was a pseudo-innate, then he must have been unintentional just now. After all, a pseudo-innate expert wouldn't care about his and Shi Hao's expressions.

If Gu Yun were to attack me...

Isn't that... a disaster?

Gu Yun could sense the slight awkwardness between them. This awkwardness needed some time to ease, so he didn't say anything more. However, he still wanted to repay the favor of leading the way, so he chuckled softly.

"Just call me whatever you want, no need to be so formal."

"Actually, I might be younger than you, but I've just had some good fortune and luck."

"Besides, without your guidance, to be honest, I really wouldn't know where I am in the Titan Realm."

With a thought, he reached out and handed over the soul crystal that Shi Hao had taken away a wisp of his soul consciousness, and continued.

"After all, the trip to the Titan Realm was in another world, and it is unclear how many storms there will be on this trip. However, the struggle for these heavenly treasures is unlikely to be peaceful. This soul crystal contains a trace of my soul consciousness. If there is anything of life or death, I will crush it and do my best to get there."

Shi Hao and Yu Mo exchanged a glance. When they looked at Gu Yun again, their eyes showed less of the awkwardness and fear, and more of admiration and respect. Shi Hao waved his hand and declined.

"Brother... you're joking. We wouldn't have been able to get out without you."

"As for leading the way, there are many more people familiar with the area around us. We've already gotten a good deal, so we can't possibly accept your favor."

"Besides, we're just joining in the fun, what danger could we possibly be in?"

Gu Yun pulled Shi Hao's hand over and placed the Soul Crystal into his palm, chuckling.

"Don't make rash promises, especially those that will lead to certain death."

"Take it. Besides, I already said I was just doing my best. If I were too far away from you or busy with other things, I definitely wouldn't have come. Keep it as a memento."

"Alright, let's part ways here. Judging from the direction those people are heading, they're probably going in a different direction from us. Have a safe journey."
