Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Qing Yuanzhong's words undoubtedly surprised Wang Yi greatly.

"Aren't you unable to leave Li Yuan?"

"I can't leave Liyuan for too long, but there's a ready-made replacement now."

Lieutenant General Qing Yuan's gaze fell on Xu Jun, and he said with a smile:

"Xiao Jun, you became a forbidden being the latest and youngest, so we old guys are too embarrassed to bother a junior like you when we don't need more manpower. But the situation is special now. How about you guard Li Yuan for me for a while, and I'll take Xiao Wang Yi to the magic world?"

"Of course, no problem, Elder Qing. I'm even willing to stay and guard in your place forever."

Xu Jun said respectfully that he was more than willing to guard this once; even if he had to guard it forever, he would have no complaints.

Because the old man in front of us not only guarded China his whole life, but also stayed in the Abyss for sixteen years.

"No need for that, I should still have some time to live."

Turning to Wang Yi, Qing Yuanzhong asked, "Shall we leave now?"

Wang Yi calculated the timeline from his advancement to the extraordinary realm to when Lin Qingyu would take him to attack the Sacred Beast Bee Queen: "If we need to take action, it will probably be another three months."

"Let's do it now."

Fiery clouds appeared beneath Qing Yuanzhong's feet, carrying Wang Yi's clone away from the place, leaving only Xu Jun sitting at the entrance.

As Qing Yuanzhong and Wang Yi ventured deeper into the Abyss, the spatial rifts around them gradually multiplied.

"The entrances on both sides of the Abyss are protected by the Star Vortex Gate, which makes the space solid and prevents spatial cracks from forming. However, once you get far away, you'll have to deal with these troublesome things."

Qing Yuanzhong's soul power radiated outwards, observing everything with meticulous detail. As soon as he sensed the formation of spatial rifts, he immediately turned his auspicious cloud to avoid them.

Wang Yi looked around and saw spatial rifts constantly appearing and closing around the auspicious cloud, with some even encroaching on its area.

A powerful suction force emanated from the spatial rift, tearing a portion of the auspicious cloud apart before Qing Yuanzhong repaired it.

Fortunately, Wang Yi's body was secured by Qing Yuanzhong's soul power; otherwise, he would probably have been sucked into the spatial rift as well.

Sitting atop the auspicious cloud, Wang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Elder Qing, how long will it take us to cross the Li Abyss?"

"In this environment, Xiangyun's speed cannot be fully utilized, otherwise it would easily rush into the spatial rift. Including the occasional rest time, it will probably take about half a month."

"That long?"

Wang Yi was somewhat surprised. Although Elder Qing's auspicious cloud wasn't moving at full speed, it was still an epic-grade magic, incredibly fast. Even so, it would take half a month to travel. Was Li Yuan really that big?

"It hasn't been long. Compared to before, things are much better now. Worlds of the Li Yuan level are constantly repairing themselves internally. Perhaps in another twenty years, they will be able to return to normal."

"What's wrong, Xiao Wangyi? Don't you still have three months? Is something urgent?"

Wang Yi scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's not anything urgent, it's just that I didn't bring any food."

Fifteen days is far too long. At Elder Qing's level, one might be able to abstain from grains, but Wang Yi's clone is clearly not capable of that.

"Oh, that's alright, I still have some food here."

Qing Yuanzhong controlled the auspicious cloud and flew to a blank area without spatial rifts. Then, seizing the opportunity, he opened up a void and took out a large amount of food and water supplies.

"Although Xiao Xie and the others usually bring me food, you know, we definitely need to store some things in our virtual world just in case."

"Although it's been sitting for a while, thankfully it hasn't expired yet."

Looking at the supplies on the auspicious cloud in front of him, Wang Yi couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Elder Qing, since you are also a space mage, why don't you just use teleportation to travel? Wouldn't that be much faster?"

Wang Yi had previously thought that Qing Yuanzhong did not possess spatial magic, but now that he was using it in the Void Realm, it meant that Qing Yuanzhong was also a spatial mage.

As a representative of spatial magic, with the existence of the Void Realm, Qing Yuanzhong should also possess the ability to leap.

Legend has it that the speed of grade advancement is at least ten times faster than it is now, and it's estimated that it will be able to traverse the entire Li Yuan in less than a day.

"There are quite a few spatial rifts here. If you choose the wrong jump landing point and a new spatial rift happens to appear, you will be sucked in."

"The chances are small, but not impossible. Little Wang Yi, it's best to play it safe unless absolutely necessary, and don't always think about taking risks."

"I understand, Elder Qing." Wang Yi nodded.

Indeed, the spatial rift in the Abyss is much larger than the floating bridge in Oran City.

Speaking of which, on the floating bridge in Oran City, Wang Yi used his spatial perception to predict the creation of a spatial rift in advance, which led to the death of one of Lin Qingyu's clones.

If even a small spatial rift is this powerful, such a large one must be even more dangerous. Once you're sucked in, the consequences won't be good.

"Elder Qing, with the space in Li Yuan shattered like this, even a super-level magical beast would have a hard time surviving, right? What are you guarding?"

Seeing how treacherous the internal environment of Li Yuan was, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Keep an old friend."

"An old friend?" Wang Yi frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart, and guessed what was going on.

Time passed slowly. Most of the time, Wang Yi traveled on auspicious clouds. Occasionally, when they encountered a relatively safe place, Qing Yuanzhong would rest for two or three hours.

After all, constantly being aware of the formation of spatial fissures is a very mentally taxing task.

Just as Qing Yuanzhong predicted, half a month later, Wang Yi finally saw the Starry Gate leading to the magical world on the other side of Li Yuan.

"Oh, we've arrived. I wonder if our old friend is still outside... but we'll find out soon enough."

After Qing Yuanzhong finished speaking, he led Wang Yi into the slowly rotating Star Gate.

After the teleportation, the two officially entered the magical world.

Immediately afterward, Wang Yi's clone sensed the original body, and the memories of both began to synchronize instantly.

"Here you are. You're more patient than I expected."

Qing Yuanzhong looked ahead and said.

"look."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi, disregarding the need to continue organizing his thoughts and memories, hurriedly looked up.

The once calm space now resembled a constantly rippling lake, with very obvious folds that were visible to the naked eye.

A short while later, a huge figure, like a water monster leaping out of the lake, pierced through the layers of folded space and appeared in front of Wang Yi and Qing Yuanzhong.

The monster was 500 meters long and hovered silently in mid-air. It had a human face and a tiger's body, with nine tails swaying behind it.

Kunwu!

The Kunwu turned its head and looked down at Qing Yuanzhong.

Then, the human face on the tiger's head opened its huge mouth, revealing sharp, cold teeth, and finally uttered a word in Chinese.

"roll!!!"

It was powerful, grand, and carried a chilling, bloody aura that rushed towards you.
