It was unknown where the Great Moon Province was located, but everyone followed the road guide. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the fox-shaped road guide was still leading the way.
At first, everyone’s state of mind was relatively calm, but as time passed, they couldn’t help becoming anxious, especially Asun. She even began to wonder if the guide given to her by the Senior was useful, otherwise, how could she not have arrived after so long?
One day, a Domain Gate suddenly appeared in front of them, stretching across the void.
The fox guide rushed straight towards the Domain Gate, only stopping when it was close to it, turning its head to look back at everyone.
'It seems I’ll have to pass through this Domain Gate,' Yang Kai thought to himself. He wasn’t unfamiliar with this Domain Gate. When he had followed Duan Hai to the Seven Skillful Land, he had passed through it a few times, but to pass through a Domain Gate required great strength as a guarantee. If one’s strength wasn’t enough, it was very likely they would encounter some kind of danger. Would they be able to pass through it?
Not only did he think so, but Old Fang and the others also clearly had such concerns. All of them stopped in their tracks and frowned as they stared forward.
At that moment, the fox guide suddenly swayed and transformed into a layer of white light that enveloped everyone.
The few of them glanced at each other, their faces filled with joy. They knew that this Senior of Asun's had also considered this possibility and knew that with Asun's strength, she would not be able to pass through the Domain Gate. This fox road guide also had a protective function.
Without any further discussion, the four of them rushed into the Domain Gate.
Feeling the world spinning around him, his vision blurred for a moment before he entered another great region. The scenery around him changed, and in that instant, he had crossed an unknown distance.
After passing through the Domain Gate, the white light wrapped around everyone’s bodies once again condensed into the shape of a fox. However, at this moment, the fox light was no longer as full as before and had instead become extremely dim. It seemed that the amount of energy it had used to travel through the Domain Gate was not small.
As usual, the fox road guide led the way while the four of them continued to fly forward.
Half a month later, the fox road guide once again stopped in front of a Domain Gate.
With their previous experience, everyone was quite familiar with this place. After gathering together, the fox road guid transformed into a layer of white light and enveloped everyone.
Yang Kai took the lead and led the other three into the Domain Gate, but this time, he wasn’t as lucky as last time. After entering the Domain Gate, Yang Kai immediately felt a tearing force coming from all directions, causing the white light surrounding them to quickly dim.
Yang Kai was startled, thinking to himself that this wasn’t good. This Fox Road Guide was left behind by Asun's Senior to guide her to the Great Moon Province. Most likely, that Senior didn’t expect Asun to not go alone, but instead bring three other people with her. This way, the amount of energy required to travel through the Domain Gate would be several times greater.
On the other hand, Great Moon Province was only a Spirit Province, and according to Old Fang’s classification, it was the lowest force in the Outer Universe world. The strongest person inside was only a Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so it was likely that the strength of the Senior of Asun was also quite limited, so it was naturally impossible for him to have such a powerful ability. After passing through the Domain Gate twice, the road guide's strength was almost exhausted.
“Don’t resist!” Yang Kai shouted as he reached out and took out his Six Directions Wishful Bag and reach out to Asun and the others.
Asun and the other two obviously noticed that something was wrong with the road guide, but after seeing Yang Kai’s actions, they quickly understood and relaxed.
With a flash, the three of them were collected into the Six Directions Wishful Bag.
With three people missing, the speed at which the white light wrapped around his body faded became much slower, but it still quickly dimmed.
Yang Kai was on edge. He didn’t know what would happen to him if he didn’t have this layer of protection, so he could only pray that he could quickly pass through this Domain Gate.
In the distorted space and time, a faint light appeared in front of Yang Kai’s eyes. Yang Kai’s spirit shook as he quickly activated his Space Laws and flew over.
It seemed like only a moment had passed, but it also felt like a long time had passed. Yang Kai felt his vision change as he rushed out of the Domain Gate.
Looking back, there was nothing in the void. This Domain Gate was exactly the same as the Demon Territory’s World Gate. They were both one-way, but perhaps they were also two-way, just that they had yet to encounter one.
Looking down, Yang Kai saw that the white light around his body had disappeared, leaving him speechless.
Releasing the three of them from the cloth bag, Asun asked, “What about the fox?”
Yang Kai shook his head.
Asun's pretty face changed as she quickly took out the token that the Senior had left for her, only to see that the palm-sized white jade fox had lost its luster and was covered in cracks, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
Needless to say, this token could not be activated again.
“Asun…” Yang Kai felt a headache coming on, “We may have trouble you.”
If it was just Asun alone, the power of the road guide should have been enough to safely draw her to the Great Moon Province, but now there were three more people. The consumption of energy when they were traveling through the Domain Gate was too great, and now, before they even reached the Great Moon Province, the road guide was gone, making things even more awkward.
Asun was stunned for a moment, obviously not having expected such a thing to happen. The reason she had invited Yang Kai and the others to accompany her to Great Moon Province was firstly because she felt that Yang Kai and the others’ temperament was not bad, and secondly, it was also the most important reason. As she said, a person wouldn’t dare run around the Outer Universe alone. She was only an existence that had condensed her Dao Seal, so if she were to encounter any danger, it would be impossible to resist.
Holding the white jade fox in her hand, Asun forced a smile and shook her head, “It’s not your fault, I asked you to accompany me.”
“What should we do now?” Die You asked Yang Kai.
Previously, they had finally found a destination, but now that the road guide was gone and their destination was gone…
Yang Kai muttered, “Road guide's guidance should be correct. Since it brought us here, it means that the Great Moon Province is in this direction, but we don’t know if the Great Moon Province is in this region. If it is, we may have a chance to find it, but if it isn’t, it will be troublesome. Right now, it’s best to ask someone.”
Old Fang smiled bitterly, “Where can we find someone? We’ve been wandering around outside for a few months, but we haven’t even seen anybody.”
“That’s because we didn’t go looking for them. In any Great Domain, there must be some big or small forces. As long as we have the heart, we can always find them.”
“What if the forces here are the same as Seven Skillful Land?”
“Then we’re just unlucky,” Yang Kai shrugged.
As they were talking, Yang Kai suddenly noticed a flash of light from the corner of his eye and quickly turned his head, but he didn’t see anything and couldn’t help frowning slightly. Just as he was wondering if he was imagining things, Die You asked, “You saw it?”
“You saw it too?” Yang Kai asked.
Die You nodded, “There seems to be something flashing far away.”
Old Fang craned his neck to look over and asked in confusion, “What flashed? Did you see wrong?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “One person might be mistaken, but two people can’t be mistaken. There must be something flashing over there.”
“Why don’t I see anything… Eh…” Old Fang suddenly exclaimed and pointed over, “Look over there, can you see anything?”
Seeing this, Yang Kai and the others couldn’t help feeling surprised. Looking in the direction he was pointing, they didn’t see anything at first, but when Yang Kai continued to look forward, his eyes narrowed.
He actually saw a house in the distant void…
Blinking hard, he didn’t see anything wrong. There was indeed a house over there. The house wasn’t very big, and there seemed to be two large flags at the entrance, flying in the air.
Die You and Asun also saw this and both showed surprised expressions.
“Small Universe?” Yang Kai frowned. When he first met Duan Hai, Duan Hai’s Small Universe door was a door that stood tall in the void. Now that he saw this house, he couldn’t help thinking about it.
“I don’t know,” Old Fang shook his head and asked, “Should we go take a look?”
Die You and Asun didn’t say anything as they both stared at Yang Kai, waiting for him to make a decision.
Yang Kai looked around and couldn’t help laughing, “It’s already like this, it’s rare for us to encounter a living person, so if we don’t go, we’ll definitely be unwilling, but for the time being, we don’t know what the situation over there is. Let’s just observe from afar for a while before deciding.”
The three of them nodded, “Good.”
Having made up their minds, the group of four flew over, but they didn’t get too close. They stopped a long distance away and quietly withdrew their auras to observe the situation.
It was quite a rare sight.
There were actually people entering and exiting the house. Although there weren’t many people entering and exiting, it was still surprising to see these people in this vast world.
Some of the people who came in and out were traveling in groups, while others were alone. How could one not be able to tell their strength, but it was likely that they weren’t all Open Heaven. There were definitely some who had condensed their own Dao Seals just like Yang Kai and the others and were on their way to Open Heaven.
“Brother, look at that flag, there are words on it!” Old Fang suddenly said.
With his reminder, Yang Kai discovered that there was indeed a large flag erected in front of the house’s entrance. Upon closer inspection, he found that the flag on the left had the word ‘Wine’ on it! On the flag on the right was the word ‘The First Inn’.
Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help becoming strange.
Die You said, “Why does this place look like…”
“An inn?” Asun's eyes widened.
“No way…” Old Fang’s mouth twitched.
“It really is possible,” Yang Kai said thoughtfully, “This Outer Universe, there are all kinds of strange things. There are people coming in and out of that place, and these two flags, if they aren’t inns, what are they?”
“Who built an inn here?” Old Fang still couldn’t believe it. Besides, what kind of business was there to build an inn here? Did they expect people who passed by to come here and eat wine?
“Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once we go over and take a look,” Yang Kai grit his teeth and looked at the others.
