Chapter 138 It's best to rely on yourself.
Upon hearing Dugu Xun's words, Dugu Yun and the Mermaid Queen simultaneously stopped fighting. Spatial rifts were everywhere in the sky, and the sea surged with towering waves. The flying star ship hovered thousands of miles above the ground, and Dugu Xun watched as his grandfather flew over and handed him Gu Yan's letter.
After reading the letter, Dugu Yun was relieved to confirm that Gu Yan was safe and sound.
Thankfully, everything is alright. But where is Zirong right now?
Gu Yan didn't know where he was. He described his location in the letter, but Dugu Yun was also unfamiliar with the sea area and had no clue after reading it. In the end, he could only reluctantly go to find the Mermaid Queen.
Although the Mermaid Queen loathed Dugu Yun and wished she could tear him apart, she was still very concerned about Gu Yan's safety, so she did her best to help search for him.
However, to everyone's surprise, even though they could communicate using the golden toad and had the help of the merfolk, they even found Linlang, the woman who kidnapped Gu Yan, and severely injured her, but they still couldn't find Gu Yan's whereabouts. A month had passed in the blink of an eye.
Dugu Yun and Dugu Xun both began to suspect that the Mermaid Queen was deliberately not searching seriously, and that she actually knew where Gu Yan was, but just wanted the grandmother and grandson to leave. Once they left, this bastard could then take Zi Rong for himself. Although they had strong suspicions, they were only suspicions and couldn't be certain enough to convict someone.
Besides, even if it were true, they couldn't do anything about the Mermaid Queen.
Gu Yan waited for a month but Dugu Yun and the others didn't come looking for him. He thought to himself: Forget it, I'll save myself! He didn't release Wumir, but instead began exploring the second level.

Another month has passed.
In what appeared to be a sacrificial temple, alchemical golems lay scattered on the ground, clearly having been violently destroyed. A cute little white tiger hopped and skipped among the wreckage, while not far away, a stunningly handsome young man in white was repairing a teleportation array on the ground.
Gu Yan explored the second level of the ancient tomb, encountering numerous dangers along the way. Fortunately, he possessed many magical treasures, allowing him to overcome them all. He discovered a teleportation array on this second level, but due to its age, it was no longer usable and needed to be repaired.
This magic array is extremely ancient; all the runes are from the ancient times of the Cloud Realm. Gu Yan wasn't very familiar with these ancient rune arrays, so he could only study and repair them simultaneously. Gu Yan held a short sword and inscribed runes when a Snow Shadow Tiger cub ran over and rubbed against him, wanting to play.
"I'm busy, go away," Gu Yan said without looking up.
"Awoo~"
The Snow Shadow Tiger cub cried out a few times to express its dissatisfaction.
With a wave of her hand, Gu Yan conjured a large plate of pills on the ground. The Snow Shadow Tiger cub immediately ran over happily and began to gnaw on them with gusto.
Gu Yan focused intently on repairing the formation, spending another ten days before finally finishing. He stood up, looked at the repaired formation, and then at the Snow Shadow Tiger cub, saying, "Indeed, relying on heaven or earth is not as good as relying on yourself. Waiting for Dugu Yun and my brother to come and save me would be too late."
"Let's go, we need to get out of here!"
He wouldn't go to the other parts of the second level or the third level of this ancient tomb. Gu Yan wasn't in the mood for adventure or treasure hunting, and he didn't lack treasures. He waved his hand and recalled the lively little Snow Shadow Tiger cub back into his spirit beast ring, then stood on the magic array.
He then threw out five spirit jades. To activate this magic array, spirit stones and crystals wouldn't work; spirit jades, especially top-grade ones, with all five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) present, were required. Otherwise, even if the magic array was repaired, it wouldn't be enough energy to activate it.
Fortunately, Gu Yan has them all.
After the spirit jade emitted a dazzling light, the five pieces scattered and flew into the grooves of the magic array. Then, Gu Yan cast a spell on the magic array, and the entire array lit up. The five spirit jade pieces burst forth with dazzling light, and visible waves of spiritual energy spread outwards. Then, the entire magic array shone brightly, illuminating the vast space.
Then Gu Yan was teleported away.

Jade Wave Continent - Heavenly Star Empire
In a magnificent palace within the Tianxing Empire, there is a huge bath.
Princess Mingyue of the Tianxing Empire was bathing in the hot spring, surrounded by many beautiful maids. Princess Mingyue was the sixth princess of the Tianxing Empire. She was beautiful, with long light golden hair and violet eyes. Her beautiful, snow-white body was soaking in the hot spring, enjoying a massage from her maids.
Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in the air above the huge bath, and then a figure fell from the magic circle and into the bath with a splash!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Ahhhhh—"
Screams rang out because it was a man who had fallen.
Princess Mingyue was initially startled and let out a scream, but she was stunned when she saw the boy emerging from the water.
His long, black hair was wet and cascading down his back. His snow-white skin had an icy, translucent quality. Water droplets flowed across his perfect face, like dewdrops on pear blossoms. His clear, emerald eyes sparkled like the most beautiful emeralds in the world.
Princess Mingyue was stunned. What a handsome young man!
She even forgot that she was naked and just stared blankly at the boy. The maids beside her, after their initial panic, saw the boy's face clearly and were also amazed. They all forgot to put clothes on the princess.
Simply because this boy is just too good-looking!
This young man was Gu Yan. Because he lacked knowledge of ancient runes, he relied on his intuition to complete the magic array. Of course, he still valued his life, so before using the array, he actually performed a divination. Since the divination indicated no great danger, he proceeded with the use of the array.
At this moment, he had no idea that after he messed up the magic array, he was now miles away from the original teleportation point. He also didn't know that he had been teleported to the Tianxing Empire on the Yulan Continent, nor did he know that this was a villa of the sixth princess of the Tianxing Empire. But it was clear that the current situation was very bad.
He... he actually teleported to the place where girls are taking a bath.
No, we have to run!
Taking advantage of the moment before Princess Mingyue and her maids in the bath could react, Gu Yan, who was afraid of trouble, transformed into a golden rainbow and shot away.
The guards outside heard the screams from inside, but they dared not barge into the princess's bathing tub. Weapons in hand, they hesitated, unsure what to do, when they saw a golden streak shoot out from within. Instinctively, they shouted:
"There's an assassin!!"
So all the guards gathered around Gu Yan.
Gu Yan moved with lightning speed through the guards, injuring several of them. Sensing that in addition to more than a dozen experts at the Spirit Venerable level, there was also an expert at the early stage of the Spirit Saint level, he did not hesitate to use the Wind and Thunder Wings.
call out!
Gu Yan shook off numerous elite Imperial Guards of the Tianxing Empire and escaped over a thousand miles away. However, the Grand Master of the early Spirit Saint stage quickly caught up with him.
