In Search of the Secrets of Yunling Island

Green spiritual energy continuously surged.

It went straight towards Wu He's direction.

"How is this possible!"

Wu He was clearly also somewhat unbelieving.

Although he couldn't think of how Su Tong's strength had already stepped into the Third Level of the Returning Void Realm, even so, it shouldn't be possible for him to so easily block his attack.

Even if it was the Grand Elder of the sect, it wouldn't be possible to so easily block it when Wu He used this spirit technique.

Yet the scene before his eyes clearly let Wu He know that someone really could accomplish it.

As the wood spiritual energy surged, a defensive barrier also took shape in front of Wu He.

Boom!

At this moment, Su Tong's attack also landed on Wu He.

A loud sound rang out as Wu He's body flew back.

After crashing through several trees he finally stopped.

"Cough cough!"

Wu He stood up and coughed twice.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But his face didn't show any resentment.

"You win!"

Wu He very generously admitted defeat.

He knew that after Su Tong had revealed this level of strength,

Even if the Grand Elder personally came, it wouldn't be any use.

To be so young yet have such strength, even Wu He had to admire it.

"I concede!"

As for Sheji Sect's Wu He, Su Tong actually felt he wasn't bad.

At least his personality wasn't dislikeable.

"Heh heh, it's due to your own great strength, there's no conceding or not conceding."

Wu He chuckled.

Then he took out his identity tablet and directly threw it to Su Tong.

"Thank you!"

Su Tong accepted it and immediately put it away.

He believed that Wu He wouldn't try anything sneaky.

After all, among the 89 sects participating in the Sect Competition, Su Tong now had 89 identity tablets in his hands.

"It's because your abilities are strong enough!"

Wu He shook his head.

With Su Tong's strength, even if he brought Sheji Sect's disciples to form a battle formation, they definitely wouldn't win.

So he didn't feel any dissatisfaction at all.

Su Tong nodded, not saying anything.

The Hundred Sect Competition lasted a total of three days.

The first day still wasn't over yet. All the sect's identity tablets had been collected by Su Tong.

He planned to spend the remaining two days on Yunling Island looking around.

To understand why the spiritual energy here could gather and not dissipate over time.

"Su Tong, why did you take all the identity tablets from every sect?"

Just then, Wu He suddenly asked.

"I want Crimson Rainbow Sect to have sufficient resources!"

Su Tong didn't conceal it.

His main goal was for Crimson Rainbow Sect to have more resources.

That way, Crimson Rainbow Sect's strength could also increase, and not have to worry about being crushed by other sects.

During this time in Crimson Rainbow Sect, the entire sect had treated Su Tong quite well.

So Su Tong was also giving back a little.

"Just that? Doing this, you've offended nearly every sect in the Northern Territory. Aren't you afraid they will all siege Crimson Rainbow Sect?"

Wu He was startled.

He had thought Su Tong was doing this to show Crimson Rainbow Sect's might, wanting Crimson Rainbow Sect to command the Hundred Sects.

"Besiege? In half a year's time, I went from never cultivating before, to now at the Third Level of the Returning Void Realm. If the Hundred Sects dare besiege Crimson Rainbow Sect, I'm confident I can step into the Spirit Void Realm within half a year. By then, it will be the time for the Hundred Sects to disappear from the Northern Territory!"

Hearing Wu He's words, Su Tong also smiled.

His tone was breezy, but it made Wu He feel alarmed.

The youth before him had only started cultivating half a year ago?

Wu He had assumed Su Tong had been in Crimson Rainbow Sect since childhood, cultivating all along.

But now he actually said he had only started cultivating half a year ago.

What monstrous talent was this?

If what Su Tong said was true, then giving him another half year to step into the Spirit Void Realm didn't seem impossible.

"Alright, I've collected all the identity tablets, so I'll take my leave first!"

Su Tong then spoke to Wu He.

Completely ignoring the still shocked Wu He, he left.

A long time after Su Tong left, Wu He finally reacted, sighing, "If the Hundred Sects really make a move against Crimson Rainbow Sect, it would be a disaster!"

Having said that, Wu He also directly left the place.

...

"Now I should go take a look at the center location."

Su Tong now headed towards another direction.

His destination was due north of Yunling Island.

Before setting out, Su Tong had asked Luo Zi Yin why Yunling Island could gather such vast spiritual energy.

Moreover, according to her, Yunling Island only opened once every three years, and was open for three days each time.

Therefore, the Hundred Sect Competition was also held once every three years, lasting three days each time.

Luo Zi Yin didn't know the reason, but told Su Tong that if he had time, he could go take a look at the location due north of Yunling Island.

Supposedly when Yunling Island first opened, the various sects all wanted to figure out what was going on.

So they sent powerful experts to investigate.

They did discover some clues. The spiritual energy at the location due north of Yunling Island was thinner than other areas.

They also found a passage, but there was a barrier guarding it that they couldn't get through.

Even Returning Void Realm experts couldn't pass through the barrier.

So everyone speculated that behind the barrier lay the secrets of Yunling Island.

But what exactly the secrets were, no one knew till today.

In the last decade or so, no one had gone to investigate further.

Su Tong's objective now was to take advantage of the time he had to try and enter the barrier.

"If there's a barrier, could it be that Yunling Island is man-made?"

Su Tong was very curious about this.

If Yunling Island really was man-made, how great an undertaking would that have required?

Night had now fallen.

Su Tong had spent the entire day collecting identity tablets.

He didn't have any time to rest at all.

Now he hurried to get to the location due north of Yunling Island as quickly as possible.

There wasn't any time to stop and rest.

Fortunately Su Tong's spiritual power was extremely abundant. Even now, he didn't feel very tired.

"The spiritual energy here really is quite thin!"

Su Tong now felt the surrounding spiritual energy becoming sparser and sparser.

After sensing for a bit, Su Tong directly shot towards the direction where the spiritual energy was thinnest.

According to Luo Zi Yin, the passage with the barrier was located where the spiritual energy was sparsest.

The thin spiritual energy here clearly indicated not many people had come. After all, cultivating on Yunling Island for one day was equal to ten days.

Naturally people would look for places with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate.

Because few people set foot here, the trees were also extremely lush.

Su Tong darted between the trees, and soon saw a mountain cave up ahead.

"The spiritual energy here is thin because it has all flowed into this mountain cave!"

Su Tong now discovered this point.

He swiftly charged into the mountain cave.

But after just a hundred meters or so, Su Tong felt a barrier in front of him. "So this is the barrier guarding Yunling Island's secrets?"
