Chapter 1645: A Little Troublesome

There was a sudden silence.
Rong Xiu looked at her with a glint in his deep eyes. His thin lips curved slightly as he said indifferently, “There are still quite a lot of books in the Sky-Cloud Empire. Although the world knows very little about the battle back then, there are actually some related rumors that have been recorded and passed down. It’s not difficult to find out.”
Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding. That’s true. The Sky-Cloud Empire has stood in the God Residence Realm for tens of thousands of years and has a deep foundation. It’s normal for them to know something about this.
Shangguan Jing knew very little about this place, mostly because he was an outsider. Naturally, he couldn’t compare to Rong Xiu’s background.
“Besides, although these God Realms are still around, their power is basically very thin after tens of thousands of years of depletion. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many God Realms to exist at the same time in such a small space.”
!!Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue picked up the second stone.
She looked carefully at the two stones in her hand and pursed her lips. Rong Xiu’s words make sense. When I made contact with the God Realm just now, I indeed felt that nobody seemed to control it.
Battle intent… In that case, what exists here is battle intent!? However, why are these stones inexplicably sticking to me?
She could clearly feel that these two stones didn’t have any ill intentions toward her. On the contrary, there seemed to be… a hint of dependence and closeness.
This feeling was very subtle.
Earlier, she had been in a nervous state and didn’t feel much. But at this moment, she knew that they were just the battle intent left behind after the war back then.
She heaved a sigh of relief and realized that something was… wrong.
Just as she was thinking this, the third stone rolled to her feet. Soon, another God Realm entered.
From the initial shock and surprise, she was basically used to it now. The only thing she wanted to know now was if she had any role in this.
“Can we still get out from above?” Chu Liuyue looked up.
Rong Xiu paused for a while before saying, “When we came down just now, we also triggered a space vortex. Even if we go up now, it shouldn’t be the same place as before.”
“Then—”
“Let’s wait first. In about two hours, the turbulent space will calm down again. At that time, it will be much more convenient for us to go out.”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
For now, this was indeed the best solution.
Rong Xiu took out a few more pearls and hung them quietly around the two of them. Then, he took out a black cloak and spread it on the ground. “Have a seat first.”
During this period of time, they had been traveling. Although they had rested a few times in between, in order not to slow the two of them down, Chu Liuyue had been traveling at full speed and had consumed a lot of energy.
After entering the Red Soul Woods, they rushed all the way.
It was always good to rest and adjust their condition for a while.
She held his hand. “You should rest too.”
She knew that Rong Xiu hadn’t rested much recently.
He traveled during the day and refined Yuan instruments at night. He was the one who consumed more energy.
Sensing the warm and soft touch in his palm, Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. “It seems that my wife still cares about me.”
Chu Liuyue was speechless. After so many years, this man’s skin has really become thicker.
…
The two of them began a long wait.
Two hours wasn’t a long time, but the surroundings were silent and dark. Other than the small area around them, they couldn’t see anything else, and it really made them feel vaguely uneasy.
Moreover, Chu Liuyue was still worried about her ancestor’s safety, so this time was even more difficult to endure.
After waiting for a while, she simply closed her eyes and planned to immerse herself in cultivation. However, she quickly discovered that the idea was impossible to achieve. That was because… the surrounding stones were still rolling toward her!
One piece after another. Within moments, a neat row had piled up at her feet.
At first, she wanted to resist, but she gave up later.
These stones and the God Realms didn’t have any ill intention toward her. They only bumped into her slightly, and she didn’t lose anything. Moreover, as the surrounding God Realms entered these rocks one after another, she clearly felt that the inexplicable pressure had decreased a lot.
It was probably because these God Realms had piled up and squeezed each other that it was uncomfortable.
In that case… so be it! Chu Liuyue looked down. Anyway, most of the stones have piled up around me. When all the stones are filled, it should be over.
However, reality proved that she was still too naive.
When the last gap around her was occupied by a stone, she thought that was the end of it. But the next moment, she saw that the rocks from before began to retreat suddenly from her side!
New stones appeared from nowhere and rolled over again!
Like a relay race, the stones took turns rolling to her side. When the God Realm poured in and left a mark, they obediently left and changed to the next batch.
Seeing how orderly they were, the experienced her couldn’t help but widen her eyes in confusion.
T-this… What am I being taken as?! She gritted her teeth and moved to the side.
The stones rolled to the side.
After trying two or three times, she gave up struggling again.
Actually, she had already discovered the problem—these stones had to touch her to accommodate those God Realms. It was also because of this that they were so obsessed with her.
Chu Liuyue stroked her chin. Thinking about it, after being chased by those stones for so long outside… This is the only goal?
Chu Liuyue rubbed her glabella. I’ve finally seen how powerful and strange this God-Killing Tumulus was… For now, anything that happens here seems particularly strange. I wonder why these stones have decided on me…
Unable to figure it out, she decided not to think about it and continued studying the Xuan formations.
Ever since she repaired the Heaven-Locking Formation with Big Baby last time, she had made very obvious progress as a Xuan Master. Unfortunately, Big Baby didn’t see her after that and left directly. She still had some questions that she did not have time to ask.
She could only wait for the next time they met to spar with him.
…
Time slowly trickled past.
Chu Liuyue held her breath and focused, trying to draw those Xuan formations in her mind.
With her current strength, it was absolutely impossible for her to draw the Heaven-Locking Formation alone. Hence, she recalled and studied the scattered Xuan formations according to her previous memories.
“Yue’er.” A low and gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Chu Liuyue opened her eyes. “What’s wrong? Should we go?”
Rong Xiu nodded, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. “It might be… a little troublesome…”
“Why—” Her voice abruptly stopped when she accidentally glanced over.
