My Master Disconnected Yet Again

“Did you previously say that there were no problems with the realm gate?” Lonemoon could not help questioning.

“There are no problems with the other realm gates in the Three Realms.” Yi Qing frowned and continued in a low voice, “Only in the little world where the death Qi in this array came from, it seems like there is something blocking the way which is stopping the realm gate from being opened.”

“You’re saying that it’s just the realm gate of that little world has been locked?” Lonemoon’s heart sank, why was this situation becoming more like the mushroom world from the previous time. “Are you able to find out where that is?”

Yi Qing shook his head. “Not here.”

Lonemoon snapped back to his senses. “Then we’ll return to the divine realm first.” And he immediately opened the portal back to the divine realm.

Three of them instantly returned to the familiar night sky, the golden plane tree was right before their eyes. Chef took a step forward and placed a hand on the tree trunk, closing his eyes, he began to sense for the same aura from the earlier array formation.

Lonemoon had thought that it would take a long time. Unexpectedly, Chef opened his eyes after less than fifteen minutes and pointed high up above their heads, saying, “It’s there!”

He instinctively looked up towards the top of the plane tree. As they were too far, it wasn’t very clear to them, they had to take a few steps back before they could spot the little world that Chef had pointed to. It was a piece of golden leaf that wasn’t anything different from the other little worlds. It even appeared to be healthier than the others. He subconsciously swept across that little world with his divine perception, but did not sense any aura that did not belong to this plane. Seems like there’s no problem!

Wait a moment!

Lonemoon took a closer look and only saw that there seemed to be a light layer of white air vaguely surrounding that piece of leaf, his heart fell, with a wave of his hand, an enlarged plane map appeared before his eyes. Detailedly looking at the surrounding of the little world, sure enough, that was a layer of white air around it.

The plane tree was a bright gold color. In addition, it was too large, and this little world was right at the top of the tree, that was why they did not notice this layer of white air. Right now, the layer of white air had surrounded the entire little world, as if having isolated something.

Was this the reason for the realm being locked?

“What is that?” Lonemoon pointed to that layer of white air as he questioned.

“I’ve never seen this before either, but it is indeed what is blocking the opening of the realm gate.” Yi Qing also shook his head as he replied.

Lonemoon’s expression darkened, this white air looked to be slightly unfamiliar but surprisingly held a familiar aura, but it wasn’t very strong either. “No matter what, since it is blocking the realm gate, then let’s dispel it before anything else.” He directly conjured a seal and was about to cast a spell.

“Hold on.” Shen Ying who had been nibbling on a fruit beside him suddenly grabbed his hand as she said, “Don’t be so rash, Father Niu.”

Lonemoon was taken aback for a moment and turned to look at her. “You recognize this thing?”

Shen Ying cocked her head to a side before answering, “Um… I guess?”

What “I guess”?

“Then just what is it?”

“Authority.” She retracted her hand and took another bite of fruit before saying, “It’s what you all call… Heavenly Dao.”

The two of them: “…”

What?

Lonemoon and Yi Qing were both stunned, what the heck was Heavenly Dao? The realm gate of this little world was sealed by the Heavenly Dao!

Both of them met eyes for a moment, ever since grasping the ability of assisting the Truth, they naturally knew what was up with the so-called Heavenly Dao. That was all the rules and regulations that existed on this plane, just like the most precise program that controls the entire world, it safeguards the normal operations of the plane. As major as to when the sun rises, which direction the river waters in, how Spirit Qi is formed; and as minor to how many bolts of lightning one had to endure during cultivation and more, the existence of all these were due to the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

And the assistants and managers were people who controlled and managed the rules. All that they did was to safeguard the stability of the Heavenly Dao. If abnormalities surfaced in the plane, then the rules will turn disorderly and that would mean havoc with the Heavenly Dao, it would definitely trigger a chain reaction and pull the entire plane in.

Lonemoon used his divine perception once again, this time round, he didn’t examine that little world directly, but the white air around it. As expected, he did not encounter any resistance, instead the white air seemed to have met their family and fought to come close to his divine perception, a little urgent as it sought to bring him into the little world, as if… complaining?

The corner of his lips twitched, as he retracted his divine perception. Those auras were similar to the assistant energy in his body, and was extremely familiar, he had sensed it each time he adjusted his cultivation. Shen Ying was right, it was indeed an authoritative energy. Heavenly Dao would only generate such intimacy with people who manage and created it.

Then here comes the question, why did Heavenly Dao seal the realm gate of this little world?

Lonemoon indistinctly felt that this was related to the little world, yet the Heavenly Dao had no consciousness and could not speak to him directly.

“With the exception of the realm gate, there are no problems with the other regulations.” Yi Qing also examined the little world, reincarnation is unaffected, the only issue was that people cannot ascend. “The sealing of the realm gate is definitely related to the cultivators of this world, seems like we have to make a trip there to find out the reason.”

Lonemoon had thought the same way too, nodding, he said, “We shouldn’t delay any further, let’s go!” After contemplating for a while, he added, “The realm gates cannot be opened for now, we can only tear through the void and head over together, the rules of this world have already become disorderly, do be careful.” With that said, he glanced at a certain, as if emphasizing himself. “Especially you!”

Shen Ying was speechless. Meow meow meow?

(⊙_⊙)

“It would be dinnertime soon, try throwing that one more time?”

Dinner!

“No problem, Father Niu!” She immediately patted his chest and made a guarantee.

Why was he feeling more worried now?

“You stand in the middle!” He pulled her to his side, after giving it some thought, he still couldn’t be put at ease and pulled out a piece of white silk and turned it into an artifact. He first bound a few rounds around Shen Ying and Chef’s tightly clasped hands then forcefully tied a dead knot, turning around he grabbed her other wrist, before he was finally reassured.

“Let’s go!”

The three walked in, darkness fell before their eyes as they vaguely felt some squeezing from their surroundings, in a moment, the world lit up again. Next, they’d arrived in a bustling land.

This seemed to be a marketplace, there were many people all around. Seeing them suddenly appear on the streets, they could not help but gathered around. Examining them with surprise and curiosity, their eyes also held some… excitement?

Lonemoon was taken aback. “Shen…” He instinctively turned his head to look towards Shen Ying but unexpectedly faced Chef’s blank face. The person who was originally supposed to be the center had disappeared. And his right hand that was holding hers tightly earlier, was securely interlocked with Chef’s left hand, several rounds of the white silk artifact bounded around their hands, even displaying a large butterfly knot.

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon, “…”

Heh heh, what’s with this old joke that didn’t feel surprising at all?

Earlier on he thought of what he had said warningly: You try throwing that one more time?

He told her to try and she really did goodness!

(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻

“Master…” Chef was the first to react, riding his sword right away to begin the search.

“Hold on… Holy shit!” Lonemoon had yet to come back to his senses and his entire being had been dragged into the air like a kite.

Did you think you were hanging sausages! Let go of my hand!
