Realms In The Firmament

Wu Fa wasn’t worried since he was confident. [With my power, even to consume massive of my spiritual power to stay fast moving, I can keep flying for seven full days. How long can this white shadow last though?]

[As long as he slows down a bit, I will catch him!]

The sky turned dark again. It was another night time. They were still moving in the incredible speed which was beyond the speed limit of Qing-Yun Realm!

When the sun rose up from the horizon, Wu Fa was surprised. He found a mountain ahead of them that was pretty familiar to him. The mountain was surrounded by lots of clouds and mist. Some were dark clouds.

[That is… What? I am almost back to my place?]

Dark Cloud Mountain.

Wu Fa couldn’t believe it. It had been only one full day, and he had moved thirteen thousand miles chasing the white shadow!

Thirteen thousand miles was exactly the distance between Heaven’s Terrace and his residence!

After he confirmed it was real, he couldn’t help praising the white shadow’s persistence.

In fact, they had been moving in winding routes at the beginning… That meant they had traveled over twenty thousand miles!

[The speed… The persistence... The endurance… I am afraid that even Xuan Bing, who is only weaker than me in this world, is unable to do this!]

[However, you are heading the wrong way. This is my place. It means this is the end of your good luck. Nobody knows better about Dark Cloud Mountain than I do in the world!]

[You were merely flying into your own death.]

[The moment when we reach Dark Cloud Mountain, the real ultimate chasing begins!]

They arrived at Dark Cloud Mountain after a while. The white shadow was moving the same fast. It was like a straight beam of dazzling light rushing up near the mountain. There was a dark hole in the mountainside.

The white shadow was obviously going to enter that hole, to use the unknown internal structure of the mountain to keep the chase going!

Wu Fa felt even more relieved when he knew what the white shadow was doing. The structure inside the mountain might be unknown to the white shadow, but Wu Fa couldn’t be more familiar with it!

The space inside was not spacious, and there was no other way out.

Although it was not a difficult thing for a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator to make another hole out, it still took time to do it. It was a critical moment. Any slower the white shadow became, Wu Fa would catch it!

Maybe Wu Fa had his lucky day, or maybe heavens blessed him. The white shadow shot into the hole like a shooting arrow and disappeared in it.

Wu Fa followed up to the hole but didn’t immediately entered it. At this moment, he thought this chase was finally going to end, and he was going to be the winner of this game. He was so happy, so he laughed out loud and said, ”A sure catch! I wonder where else you can go!”

It was only ten meters deep and ten meters wide cave in the hole. Wu Fa stood at the hole, and he could see everything in the cave.

In another word, the white shadow had nowhere to hide.

Wu Fa gloatingly stayed outside the cave, looked inside the cave and then… The next moment, his smile froze. His face suddenly turned dark.

”Where is the man?”

He did see every inch inside the cave, but there was nobody inside. What he saw was an empty cave. The white shadow was gone!

Inside the cave, there was a white robe on the floor. It was exactly the white shadow’s robe.

The robe was here, but the person was gone. A man just disappeared in a cave which had no other way out.

”Where is he? Where is the man?”

Wu Fa shouted and made a turn. Seven phantoms of himself showed up and searched every inch of the cave. After that, he returned the entrance of the cave. He was lost.

[How did he disappear?]

[Even if he is in Tittle Phase, it was impossible that he could disappear like that.]

[There should be traces of his movements.]

[This… This looks like… He just became a part of the air and… just gone. This is impossible.]

He grabbed that soft white robe. That was the only thing that was left for him. He nearly shouted out.

[How did this happen?]

[Was it fake? Was I chasing a fake person all the way along?]

[No… The robe is real. That means the shadow is real. How did he get away without leaving any traces?]

He grabbed the robe in hand and stopped outside the entrance. Suddenly, he flew up high, stopped and started to make continual crazy palm hits to strike the mountain with his two hands, as if they were two huge axes!

The strong winds kept blowing over the mountain. His attacks kept hitting the mountain like sharp swords falling from heavens.

How could the cave support such blasts? Suddenly, it became dust flying in the air. The next moment, the entire Dark Cloud Mountain fell into pieces. The place was riddled with dust, which covered the light from the sky.

Wu Fa stayed high in the air looking at everything within ten miles. He wouldn’t miss anything. However, he couldn’t find anything about that white shadow. Even when the mountain cracked into many small rocks of the same size as a little finger, he still couldn’t find anything.

”He actually just disappeared like that…” He murmured.

His eyes actually burst out two small clouds of dark fog. - Pah! -

He opened his hand and looked at the robe in it. He frowned and got lost in confusion…

[What is wrong?]

Wu Fa unfolded the robe and carefully checked it. He frowned tighter when he started to check the robe and didn’t find anything immediately.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He reached one finger into the robe and picked up a small white hair.

His wide opened up his two eyes and couldn’t believe it.

If he wasn’t such a steady person, he might have exclaimed out loud!

[Hair?]

[A hair?]

…
