Black Stone Plaza.
At the entrance of the spatial wormhole.
This kind of artificially created, fixed spatial wormhole was much larger than those that formed naturally. The entrance was a silver-white ring of light, floating in mid-air.
Stepping through the entrance felt as though passing through a thin, pitch-black membrane, followed by an unusual wave of weightlessness that instantly enveloped the body.
Wei Yang and the other four were all above Dou Zong, so naturally they paid no mind to such minor changes. They quickly steadied themselves and adjusted their states.
Their eyes swept across the surroundings. What they saw was a spacious passageway, about ten zhang wide.
All around were faint silver spatial barriers. Behind them was the dark, rippling membrane like a water surface—that was the entrance they had just stepped through.
Ahead stretched a corridor that extended endlessly into the distance.
"So this is a spatial wormhole?" Xian'er and Qing Lin both looked around with curiosity.
Ah Da flipped his hand and drew out a delicate little wooden boat, tossing it casually.
Shua!
The palm-sized wooden boat suddenly began to expand at a mysterious rate. In just a few breaths, it had grown to several zhang in size, with an antique design. A thin silver light-shield flickered faintly around the hull.
On the boat's surface, the carved profound patterns gave off a silvery glow, like writhing silver serpents.
Wei Yang and the others leapt up and boarded the spatial ship.
The interior was indeed quite spacious, divided into two floors. Each floor had a main hall as well as several individual cabins.
The furnishings weren't bad either—various furniture and living facilities were well-prepared.
At the bow was a special device, the place to control the ship and input energy. Ah Da brought Du Jiao forward, waved his sleeve, and a surge of majestic energy precisely poured into the Dou Qi input slot.
At once, the whole spatial ship trembled slightly, then erupted with thrust from its tail.
Sou~
In an instant, the ship turned into a streak of flowing light, shooting through the endless dark passageway like lightning.
The scenes on both sides flashed by in a blur, so fast it was almost dizzying.
Moments later.
The initial sense of novelty quickly faded, leaving only dull monotony.
Wei Yang withdrew his gaze, returned to the main hall, sat down, and turned to Xian'er with a smile: "Although our luck was decent, we managed to find the last required material—the magic core of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast—but unfortunately, it was only Rank 6. The effect falls short by one rank."
"In order to maximize the benefits, you'd better not rush to condense your True Core and step into Dou Zun just yet. Once we reach Central Plains, we'll search again. It's best if we can obtain a Rank 7 magic core before you advance."
"Alright." Xian'er gently nodded.
Truthfully, she could have tried to break through to Dou Zun long ago. But she had been suppressing it all this time, waiting until she could condense her Poison Pill.
It wasn't that condensing a Poison Pill was a must before advancing to Dou Zun. With the Ghostly Poison Flame in her possession, even if she advanced without forming the True Core, the risks likely wouldn't be too great.
But, in matters like this, one could never be too careful.
After all, without a successful precedent, no one could say for sure whether the Ghostly Poison Flame could truly guarantee perfect control over the Woeful Poison Body.
Thus, it was safest to condense the Poison Pill first, then make the breakthrough to Dou Zun in one go. There was no need to gamble just to save some time. A slight mishap would lead to endless regret.
"We've been traveling for so long, everyone must be exhausted. Let's rest first." Wei Yang stood up and stretched. His bones crackled like frying beans.
From the time they had departed the Great Plains of Black Region, three months had already passed. None of them had really rested properly.
Wei Yang winked at the two girls, "Let Ah Da and Du Jiao take turns steering. We'll go sleep."
"Mm."
More than twenty days later.
Inside a cabin, Wei Yang held an ancient book in hand, half-lying on a soft reclining chair, quietly flipping through the pages.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A gentle knocking sound came from the door.
"Master, we're about to leave the spatial wormhole." Ah Da's voice sounded from outside.
"Got it, have you notified Xian'er and the others?" Wei Yang responded, asking.
"Already did, both Mistresses have come out of seclusion."
"Mm."
Wei Yang put away the ancient book, rose to his feet, and walked outside.
Moments later, he arrived at the deck at the bow.
Xian'er and the other three had already gathered there, and at this moment, it was Du Jiao who was controlling the spatial ship.
"Letting this guy Du Jiao pilot the ship, aren't you afraid it'll flip over?" Wei Yang glanced at the serious-looking Du Jiao and casually teased.
"Du Jiao's gotten smarter and smarter." Qing Lin chuckled, "Besides, piloting a spatial ship is such a simple task, Du Jiao won't make any mistakes."
"Haha." Everyone laughed lightly.
Right after, Wei Yang lifted his gaze toward the distance. A massive, pitch-black membrane faintly appeared at the far end of his sight.
The spatial barriers all around them were also starting to ripple with waves of space fluctuations.
The exit was already close.
"Central Plains, we're finally about to arrive. I can't help but feel a little excited!" Wei Yang sighed with emotion.
From the moment they had departed Black-Corner Region, wandering all the way, nearly four months had passed before finally arriving.
Their luck hadn't been bad. The journey had been smooth, with no unexpected events like a wormhole collapse or running into a spatial storm.
But thinking about it, it made sense. With Ah Da, a Dou Zun, present, even if something had happened, he could have handled it.
In fact, the opening of spatial wormholes like this, and even their later maintenance, were handled by Dou Zun experts.
Of course, smaller issues could be solved even by a Dou Zong.
Therefore, for those below Dou Zong, spatial storms or sudden collapses of certain wormhole sections were extremely dangerous. But in the eyes of a Dou Zun, such things weren't really a big deal.
Sou~
The spatial ship, moving as fast as chasing stars and moonlight, sped toward the pitch-black membrane-like wormhole exit and then burst out, carrying Wei Yang and the others along.
Before them was a massive Black Stone Plaza.
Around the plaza stood tall stone pillars engraved with mysterious runes, forming a circular array.
At the center of the plaza, a silver-white ring of light, several dozen zhang wide, quietly floated, radiating rich spatial power.
Sou!
Abruptly, five figures passed through the light ring, stepping out as they slowly descended to the ground of the plaza.
One figure, completely shrouded in a black robe and faintly emanating a chilling aura, stretched out his hand and caught the small wooden ship that had fallen from mid-air.
It was Wei Yang and his group of five.
Standing on the plaza, their gazes swept across the bustling, lively scene.
One after another, they couldn't help but take a deep breath of the air.
"So this is the Central Plains? Judging by overall strength, it really is much greater than Black-Corner Region, even stronger than Black Thorn City."
On Black Stone Plaza, the flow of people was a turbulent sea, their voices rising in a noisy clamor.
However, under the cold, indifferent stares of the law enforcers all around—men who stood with stern expressions and killing intent—the place appeared very orderly. No one dared cause trouble.
At a glance, Wei Yang and the others were somewhat surprised.
Every single one of those enforcers possessed at least the strength of Dou Ling!
Even Dou Wang wasn't rare, and from their senses, there were even two Dou Huang present.
And this was just the enforcers who kept order. One could imagine what that meant.
Among the crowds coming and going, though the strength varied greatly, there were indeed Dou Wang and Dou Huang among them.
Yet, no matter their strength, they all obediently abided by the rules of using the spatial wormhole. No one dared act recklessly.
After all, these enforcers weren't here to serve—they were purely an institution of violence.
If anyone dared cause trouble here, without sufficient strength or background to back them, they would absolutely be killed on the spot by these enforcers.
"Hu~"
Wei Yang slowly exhaled and said, "Let's go, head out first, see where we are exactly, and then buy a detailed map of Central Plains."
"Mm."
Following the signs drawn on the ground, the group blended with the flow of people and gradually walked out of the plaza.
Central Plains—finally, they had arrived.
