Chapter 1499 - 1496: Journey to the Otherworld

Chapter 1499: Chapter 1496: Journey to the Otherworld

"Alright, we’ll take our leave then. We’ll visit again to thank you when we get a chance."

Chen Tianlong didn’t want to delay any more time. After all, once they visited the Otherworld, they still had to participate in the trial, and half the day would be gone. Chen Tianlong had to hurry, or he might not make it back in time for the trial.

The two left Feng Zou’s courtyard, quickly returned to their room, and started to take off their outer clothes to put on the fitted armor. But there was a problem—the room had nothing but a bed and a table. Since this was a single room for cultivation, they didn’t pay much attention to changing clothes.

Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting were a unique case since they were a married couple. If they belonged to another sect, the Kunlun Sect might have intervened, perhaps even making them stay in separate rooms.

But for Chen Tianlong, it was different. They were from the Divine Sword Sect, and as such, deserved special treatment.

"Chen Tianlong, turn around. Let me change first."

Wu Mengting moved to the bed, planning to climb up and change there. Even though they were married, changing clothes in broad daylight in front of Chen Tianlong made Wu Mengting feel shy.

"Mm, got it."

This time Chen Tianlong didn’t want to tease her. There were more important things to do; flirting could wait until after they were done.

So, Chen Tianlong turned his back to Mengting. Wu Mengting quickly took off her clothes and put on the armor. Instantly, she felt extremely cool and comfortable.

This was the armor made of Golden Silk, soaked in special concoctions, warm in the winter and cool in the summer, incredibly comfortable.

"Chen Tianlong, I’m done. It’s your turn now."

Wu Mengting finished quickly and called to Chen Tianlong.

"Okay. Then please turn away, I’m going to change." Chen Tianlong spoke, not needing the bed like Mengting, he just started changing right away.

After removing his shirt, he turned around only to find Mengting watching him calmly, without moving. Chen Tianlong was stunned, he was about to take off his pants and change into the armor, but seeing Mengting staring at him made him feel a bit shy.

"Mengting, why aren’t you turning away?" Chen Tianlong asked with a wry smile.

"It’s fine, I don’t mind. You go ahead." Wu Mengting said calmly, but inside she was secretly laughing, thinking: Hmph, you always tease me, now it’s your turn. Hehe.

"Huh?"

Chen Tianlong didn’t expect Mengting to say that. However, on second thought, he wondered if Mengting was doing it on purpose. He concentrated and finally noticed her unusual expression.

Thus, Chen Tianlong decided to turn the tables. While speaking, he suddenly pulled his pants down.

"Ah!"

Wu Mengting’s face turned bright red immediately, hurriedly covering her eyes, "Chen Tianlong, you bad guy, you pervert, you’re... you’re bullying me."

But within a minute, Chen Tianlong was fully dressed and flashed to Mengting’s side, patting her shoulder.

"Ah?"

Wu Mengting was startled. She didn’t expect Chen Tianlong to get dressed so quickly and suddenly be right in front of her, "You awful Chen Tianlong, you scared me to death."

Wu Mengting spoke, pounding her fists on Chen Tianlong’s chest, but he just wrapped her in his arms. Mengting was startled but then felt a wave of warmth.

"Haha, alright, let’s not mess around anymore. We need to get ready to go to the Otherworld." Chen Tianlong wasn’t thinking about flirting right now.

"Okay."

Wu Mengting knew the seriousness of the matter too, so she nodded and followed Chen Tianlong out the door.

They planned to first meet Master Wuchen, since they didn’t know where the Gate of the Otherworld was, and they’d need Master Wuchen’s help to open it.

The two quickly arrived at Master Wuchen’s door, where the disciples recognized Chen Tianlong and went in to report to the master on their own.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong just gave a wry smile, thinking those disciples must be afraid of him.

Master Wuchen had already prepared, leading six elders out of the room. To ensure Chen Tianlong could enter the Otherworld, Master Wuchen had indeed put in much effort.

"Master Wuchen, didn’t expect you all to be up so early."

Chen Tianlong greeted with a smile.

"Haha, Chen Tianlong’s matters are our Kunlun Sect’s matters. How could we delay? Alright, let’s go with us to the Gate of the Otherworld at the back mountain."

Master Wuchen smiled. The other elders weren’t aware of the true circumstances; it was all Master Wuchen’s arrangement.

Chen Tianlong nodded and, with Mengting, quickly followed the group to the back mountain of the Kunlun Sect.

Many sects like to set up various cultivation and mysterious places at the back mountain, such as the main sect’s Forbidden Land.

They soon reached a very secluded spot, seemingly seldom visited since most back mountains are typically forbidden areas with restricted access to disciples.

After walking through a lush forest, they found themselves in front of an inconspicuous small mountain.

Master Wuchen suddenly stopped, studied the small mountain for a bit, and then sent a powerful force with a palm strike.

"Boom..."

With a loud noise, the small mountain started to tremble. Before long, a massive swirling gate appeared on the mountain wall, its bluish hue hinting at the Otherworld’s aura lingering around.

Chen Tianlong took a breath after watching it for a while. It seemed so terrifying. Entering might bring more dangers. Just the environment alone was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

"Chen Tianlong, Miss Leng, this is the legendary Gate of the Otherworld. Prepare yourselves and enter. You can’t miss the opportunity; we await your safe return."

Master Wuchen was surely speaking with a guilty conscience.

"Thank you, Master. Then we’ll go in first." Chen Tianlong didn’t want to delay; they had to hurry back for the trial after returning from the Otherworld.

"Haha, no need for formalities, Chen Tianlong. Go on, the sooner, the better." Master Wuchen, restraining his excitement, said.

Chen Tianlong nodded, holding Mengting’s hand. They exchanged a glance, took a leap, and flew into the Otherworld Gate.

As soon as they entered, Wuchen quickly closed the gate, fearing they might come back out of the Otherworld. Since he managed to coax them inside, he definitely wanted to shut the gate early.

Once the Gate of the Otherworld is closed, it takes at least a day to open again, whether from inside or outside. Of course, from the outside, it’s not possible, only three months later. But from the inside, one can exit anytime.

Strictly speaking, it’s a one-way passage, exit-only to prevent excessive Outside interference in the Otherworld, disrupting its rhythm.

Once inside the Otherworld, they immediately felt a bit breathless, with their heads spinning slightly, likely due to the unfamiliar environment. Chen Tianlong noticed Mengting’s face looked pale—a girl’s inherent frailness making her symptoms more acute.

"Mengting, are you okay?"

Chen Tianlong instinctively held Wu Mengting, worried she might faint or something.

"I’m fine!" Wu Mengting barely managed a smile.
