Chapter 432: Godsfall Land
Yu Zhao rose and fell in the dark underground river. At last, a faint light appeared ahead.

As she flowed forward, that thread of light slowly grew, eating away at the darkness around her.

After a flash of white light, the heavy, oppressive feeling faded like the receding tide.

A deep blue sky, a vast stretch of ocean, and the salty, fishy smell in the air, everything reminded Yu Zhao that she had merged into a sea.

Sunlight spilled over the water. The surface of the sea shimmered with countless tiny points of gold.

At first Yu Zhao only felt warm all around, but then her body became light. She slowly steamed up, turning into thin wisps of mist that drifted up toward the sky.

Then she became a cloud, and then turned into rain.

The rain sank into the earth and once more merged into the dark currents underground.

Over and over again.

Understanding slowly rose in Yu Zhao’s heart.

Water became rain, and rain became water again. [Is this not a kind of Cycle of Reincarnation?]

With countless Cycles of Reincarnation, the truth always remained.

In that instant, Yu Zhao felt her soul shake violently. It was as if she was about to break through her shackles in the next moment and see her true origin.

She was shocked and forced down the desire to break through. She slowed her breathing and did her best to stay calm.

She reacted very fast, so she did not draw anyone else’s attention.

After she completely calmed down, she still did not wake up at once. Instead, she kept her eyes closed and began to think about how to escape.

This place was the Feng clan’s territory. If she wanted to get away, she had to find a reason to go somewhere else, and then find the right chance to shake off Feng Jiu Si and the others.

On top of that, she had to think about how to keep them from catching up to her after she left them behind.

Yu Zhao thought hard for a long time and sighed to herself.

It seemed she still had to ask Jin Yuan for help.

She slowly opened her eyes. Shui Qiu Bai asked Yu Zhao: “Has my rain Dao been helpful to you?”

Yu Zhao nodded hard and said: “I feel like I have already touched the edge of the Divine Transformation Stage. I am only one step away from Dao Comprehension.”

Feng Jiu Si and the other two were overjoyed. He said happily: “Great. Then I will find a few more Divine Transformation cultivators to help you keep comprehending.”

As Huo Shao Yan spoke, he stood up. Yu Zhao called out to stop him: “Huo Shao Yan, the last step I spoke of is not about sensing other people’s Dao Intent. It is about pushing myself through a life and death trial so I can take that last step.”

Huo Shao Yan asked in surprise: “You mean…”

Yu Zhao said calmly: “I want to go to Godsfall Land.”

As soon as Yu Zhao finished speaking, the faces of Feng Jiu Si and the other three all changed.

Godsfall Land, as its name said, carried the power of fallen immortals.

It was the most famous forbidden area in the Southern Region.

Legend said that tens of thousands of years ago, two Divine Spirits fought in Godsfall Land. Later, one of them sadly fell, and the place where his remains scattered became the Godsfall Land of today.

There was another well known story. Godsfall Land was called the Land of Fallen Gods because any immortals who went in would fall there.

There were Space Rifts that could appear at any time, Gang Wind that struck straight at the soul, and bizarre fiend beasts that could only live in Godsfall Land.

Any one of these could kill a cultivator on the spot.

Every year, tens of thousands of cultivators died in Godsfall Land, yet that still could not stop the crowds that kept pressing in.

This was because Godsfall Land was not only a famous forbidden zone, but also a famous treasure land.

Many things that had been lost in the outside world could only be found in Godsfall Land.

Some people who went to Godsfall Land had their cultivation level soar and became famous overnight.

In short, Godsfall Land was full of mystery, making people yearn for it but also fear it.

The four of them had never thought that Yu Zhao would suggest going to Godsfall Land to temper herself. After they froze for a moment, Tu Xiao was the first to step out and object. He said angrily: “You can train anywhere else. Why do you have to go to Godsfall Land? Is that a place you should be going?”

Feng Jiu Si also tried to persuade her gently. He said: “Liu Yun, Godsfall Land is not suitable for you. We can recommend a few places that suit you better.”

Huo Shao Yan hurried to agree. He said: “Yes, yes. There are places to train right in the Wind Realm. Why run all the way to Godsfall Land? That place is really dangerous.”

But Yu Zhao was rarely this stubborn. She said firmly: “I feel like my chance to break through is in Godsfall Land.”

After thinking it over, Yu Zhao felt that Godsfall Land was the place where it would be easiest to get away from these few people.

It was dangerous, but her chances were still better there.

Yu Zhao was willing to take the gamble.

No matter how they tried to talk her out of it, Yu Zhao would not back down.

Tu Xiao was a little angry. She was just a furnace, yet she dared to point fingers at them like this. He snapped: “Liu Yun, you…”

“Tu Xiao.” Feng Jiu Si cut him off in a cold voice.

Huo Shao Yan and Shui Qiu Bai also looked at him with sharp, warning eyes.

Tu Xiao had no choice but to give up on the idea of exposing Yu Zhao’s true identity. His face was full of gloom.

Feng Jiu Si said to Liu Yun: “Liu Yun, how about the few of us talk this over again?”

Feng Jiu Si still chose to take a step back for now.

Yu Zhao answered: “All right.”

Yu Zhao had experienced several rounds of Dao Intent. Her body and mind were both exhausted, so she did not refuse. She said that she wanted to go back to her room to rest.

After she returned to her room, she took out a Messaging Talisman, crushed it, and then sat down cross-legged.

The four people in the quiet room had not left yet. They looked at one another, their expressions complicated. Tu Xiao finally could not help it and shouted: “What do you mean? You are not really planning to go to Godsfall Land with Liu Yun, are you? You know how dangerous that place is. Are you rushing off to die?”

Tu Xiao was very angry.

He suspected that Feng Jiu Si and the others had all been fooled by Yu Zhao’s looks.

Their family clans had told them again and again that they were not allowed to go to Godsfall Land. Yet they still dared to think about it, and for the sake of a furnace who could not be seen in public at that.

They had simply lost their minds.

Huo Shao Yan also hesitated and asked in a low voice: “Are we really going to go?”

Of the four, he was probably the one who feared Godsfall Land the most.

The last young heir of the Huo clan had died in Godsfall Land.

It was also because of his death that Huo Shao Yan had become the new young heir.

He did not want to follow in the last young heir’s footsteps.

Feng Jiu Si looked at Shui Qiu Bai and asked: “What do you think?”

Shui Qiu Bai’s face was calm. He said slowly: “We can go to Godsfall Land…”

“Shui Qiu Bai!” Huo Shao Yan was so anxious that he even forgot to call him Cousin and used his full name.

Shui Qiu Bai did not even look at him. He went on: “But we cannot bring Liu Yun. Her Jade Ruyi will bring us endless trouble.”

His words reminded all of them.

Liu Yun was a Pure Spirit Body that everyone coveted, and she even wore a clear mark on her body. She was like a walking piece of bait.

Godsfall Land was full of all kinds of people. Not everyone there would fear their family clans. There might even be beings inside who were more terrifying than their clans’ Ancestral Patriarchs.

Bringing Liu Yun along, was that not just asking to die faster?

Huo Shao Yan nodded in agreement over and over. He said: “Cousin is right. We should pick another place to go.”

Shui Qiu Bai’s tone was hard to read. He said: “I am just afraid Liu Yun will not agree.”

“Hmph. Since when does she get a say here? If she does not agree, then she can forget about leaving.” Tu Xiao said viciously.

Feng Jiu Si did not speak.

He was thinking about whether there was a better way to satisfy both sides.

Liu Yun was about to break through, and her impression of them was very important.

Whoever she liked the most would be the most likely to pass the Great Thousand Alliance Selection, so Feng Jiu Si could not take this lightly.

But before he could think of a better plan, an uninvited guest suddenly came.
