Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 661  The approaching departure

The sky above the Eternal Duality Valley, and likely the Three Continents, shook and started rapidly changing, clouds appeared and dissipated creating a myriad of shapes, as the light within transformed and flowed in countless colors before resembling a far view of the universe with stars and galaxies, unraveling in brilliant patterns.

This phenomenon lasted for only around ten seconds, during which it mesmerized anyone watching, and then dissipated like a dream, as if it never happened.

"...", Wu Long and Fen Baihu exchanged gazes that told everyone that what happened just now was not a small thing.

"Haha, that's a bit troublesome... I hope this manifestation did not go beyond this Fractured World", Wu Long made a slightly troubled smile with a dry laugh, not actually putting much hope into that.

"Unbelievable...", the latter shook her head with a slightly lost expression, as her eight tails swayed from side to side, "She is actually newborn..."

"N...newborn?", Feng Yi asked as her expression changed along with the expressions of beauties around her.

"Mm, Spirit Race members rarely use names to refer to themselves, however it does not mean that they don't have one. In fact, part of the self-realization of a Spirit is their name. But, the first time a Spirit speaks out their name, it causes a resonance with the world around, what you just witnessed, and thus can produce various phenomena", Wu Long explained with a wry smile while looking at Yuanfen, who was innocently smiling again.

"You mean to say that... she is born from this World?", Ye Ling asked and Wu Long lightly nodded.

"But... how does she know your name?", Shen Min asked with a puzzled look, and several gazes full of the same question turned to the World Spirit.

"Haha, that I don't know", Wu Long chook his head with a subtly different smile as it was a question he was curious about as well.

"Why don't we ask her then?", Gong Cui tilted her head while Gong Liwei next to her tugged at her sleeve.

"Don't you think you already have asked enough questions today, Cui'er?", the older sister said with a bit of rebuke, as it was the little sister's question that lead to the World Spirit revealing her name.

"Hahaha, Cui'er is not at fault there. I actually wanted to know how to address her as well", Wu Long chuckled while Gong Cui made a smug smile and looked at Gong Liwei with a vindicated "Ehem", while putting her fists to her hips and puffing her chest.

The latter only rolled her eyes but did not press any further.

"So... are we going to ask?", Wu Mengqi made a look full of curiosity and impatience and Wu Long chuckled, nodding and turning to Yuanfen, who smiled again as soon as their gazes met.

"Can I ask you a few questions?", Wu Long gently asked, as the World Spirit's eyes only innocently looked at him.

A whole minute went by in silence as everyone was waiting for an answer with bated breath, but it seemed Yuanfen either did not understand or was not receptive to the question, only smiling without saying anything.

Her gaze was mesmerizing, partially resembling that of a child, innocent and pure, and infinite curiosity to everything and everyone around, and at the same time was deep and mature, seemingly holding the secrets of the universe within.

No actual emotions beyond simple goodwill and curiosity could be peeked in that gaze, as her thoughts and feelings remained a complete mystery.

Only when looking at Wu Long was it slightly different, full of what everyone in the Dao Family, and even some that were not part of it, inexplicably recognized as devotion.

This whole situation was quite puzzling and surreal as there were just too many questions that did not have an answer, not to mention that her identity was very unusual to say the least.

Nie Xiwang's eyes narrowed, as her Truth Seeking Eyes did not reveal anything to her for the first time, as no matter how she looked at the World Spirit she only saw the beauty's physical appearance.

At the same time, Cai Yin who was also present here was shocked to find that she did not feel any Soul fluctuations she would otherwise be very sensitive to in people around her.

"Haha, I guess asking questions is for now a bit problematic", Wu Long finally concluded as he could see that the World Spirit either did not want to answer or was not able to communicate well.

"Then I guess we can only discuss repercussions of her appearance", Luo Mingyu stated with a nod, shifting her focus from the lingering feeling of disappointment that was shared by many others, pivoting the discussion somewhere they could make some progress.

"Well, if you decide to keep her at your side you won't even have to try getting the Battle God title, as the whole world will be after you anyway", Fen Baihu shrugged her shoulders with a chuckle.

"Haha, that is for sure. Though now everyone likely knows of her existence, it's not like they know where she is", Wu Long chuckled, understanding how special the beauty was.

"Isn't it safer to not get involved then?", Fen Baihu then added, but as soon as the discussion even slightly implied that Yuanfen could be left behind, she quickly ran up to Wu Long and tightly hugged his forearm.

"""...""", the terrace became silent as they recognized her will to be with Wu Long from this action.

"So she does understand what we're saying", Feng Yi raised her eyebrow with a slightly puzzled look, but Luo Mingyu standing not far shook her head in disagreement.

"I think it may be the case that she reads intentions we have, and not necessarily understands words", she spoke her thoughts.

"Mm, I somehow think it is like that too", Gong Cui nodded with a curious expression, eliciting a few surprised looks.

"Whatever is the case, we now know at least her basic intention. Not to mention that I wouldn't leave her without knowing how she knows me anyway", Wu Long nodded with a smile, and the beauty relaxed her grip, revealing a smile to him again.

"Valley Master...", Zhao Biren arrived at the terrace at this moment, with a concerned look on his face.

"Mm, how is it?", Wu Long nodded with a question and the Wine Dao master sighed.

"It seems the Space Storm in the Central Sea is repairing at an enormously rapid pace as you predicted, it would be only a matter of weeks before the link is restored, maybe even less", he reported still shocked by the discovery while Wu Long nodded with a pondering look.

What this meant, was that the time of their departure was now imminent.

He sent Zhao Biren to investigate as soon as he noticed that the quality and quantity of Spiritual Qi began rapidly rising after discovering Yuanfen.

Not only that, the earthquakes that periodically shook the Three Continents in the past few months were now happening several times an hour.

The earthquakes were actually pieces of land, that were previously shattered by the Great Calamity, colliding with the piece they were on, some becoming permanently reattached and widening this Fractured World they were in. It was entirely possible that there were now other islands and continents on the other side of the Outer Sea.
