Chapter 337: The Dayan Space!

Blue Leopard led his men in a massive search on the second floor, but after half a day, they found nothing.

"Bang!"

In a fit of rage, Blue Leopard slammed his palm against the wall. The wall remained unharmed, but his hand was numbed by the impact.

The Yonghua Palace was reinforced with formations throughout, extremely sturdy—how could a mere Sea Transformation Realm cultivator break it with a single palm strike?

Not wanting to lose face before his subordinates, Blue Leopard endured the pain and said angrily, "Where the hell is that kid hiding? Huh?"

With that, he turned to look at Lin Chao.

Lin Chao gave a bitter smile. How would he know where Ye Yuan had gone?

The second floor was only so big; they had searched every possible place, truly dug three feet into the ground, but there wasn't even a shadow.

They hadn't found any other exit on the second floor. Could he have flown up to the sky?

Suddenly, Lin Chao thought of something and said, "Could it be... he went up to the third floor?"

Blue Leopard's expression changed as well. "Third floor? Where's the entrance?"

Lin Chao shook his head. "I don't know! We've searched every place here, even turned over every corner of every room, but we haven't found any entrance!"

With their level of knowledge, they could never have imagined that the second floor itself was a massive formation.

So they were utterly perplexed about where the entrance to the third floor could be.

Thus, after another half day, Blue Leopard finally gave up.

The passage had just been opened, and there were too many things to do. Blue Leopard couldn't keep his focus here forever.

But he didn't give up entirely; he left Blue Wind behind to guard the exit.

...

"Miss, why didn't you take Young Master Ye away but instead sent him to the third floor?" Yan'er asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is the legacy left by Dayan Divine King. I can't even glimpse a single secret of the third floor. Perhaps it's an opportunity for Young Master Ye," Li'er said.

"I see... But Young Master Ye is truly infallible in his calculations; he managed to find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation! This second floor turned out to be a massive formation, and we never noticed it before. Young Master Ye not only discovered it but also found the entrance to the third floor. Truly remarkable! Unfortunately... in the end, he was just a little short. If he hadn't met Miss, he might have..."

Li'er smiled gracefully and said, "Perhaps it was destined that I would help him through that little bit. Who can say about fate? It just means that Young Master Ye wasn't meant to die."

Yan'er's eyes twinkled, and she said with a teasing smile, "Miss, do you think... fate guided you two to meet?"

Li'er was startled, but she shook her head repeatedly. "You silly girl, talking nonsense! Hurry up and catch up with those people, or we'll lose them!"

With that, Li'er ignored Yan'er and walked ahead. Yan'er giggled and followed.

It turned out that the mistress and maid had followed the escort team into the Hurricane Realm!

...

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yuan's consciousness slowly began to recover.

He struggled to open his eyes, and what met his gaze was a simple yet elegant study.

"This... where is this? I... I haven't died again, have I?" Ye Yuan moved his dry lips and muttered to himself.

"Young man, you're not dead yet." At that moment, an aged voice came.

Ye Yuan regained some strength, struggled to sit up, and found an old man sitting at the desk, flipping through books.

But his body was transparent, just like Lu Yan—a soul body.

Ye Yuan shook his head vigorously, desperately recalling what had happened before, and finally remembered. He asked in surprise, "Old sir, could this be... the third floor of Yonghua Palace?"

The old man stopped flipping through the book, smiled at Ye Yuan, and said, "Indeed, this is the third floor of Yonghua Palace. Its name is... the Dayan Space."

Hearing the words 'Dayan Space,' Ye Yuan nearly spat out another mouthful of blood.

That Lu Linfeng fellow really was...

Seeing Ye Yuan's strange expression, the old man was also somewhat baffled.

This reaction seemed a bit off, didn't it?

A mere Spirit Liquid Realm小子, seeing such a profound place, showed no reaction at all?

"Senior, forgive me for not being able to rise and pay my respects," Ye Yuan said.

"No matter."

"May I ask, Senior, was it you... who saved me?" Ye Yuan asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Sure enough, the old man shook his head. "As you can probably tell, I'm just a soul body and cannot leave the Dayan Space. Only by entering here yourself could you see me."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan fell into thought, and a graceful figure emerged in his mind.

Could it be... that wasn't an illusion?

I clearly remember that before I passed out, I was still several zhang away from the light pillar. How did I wake up already inside the third layer?

But... who was that woman? Why did she save me?

Ye Yuan desperately tried to recall the face he saw before losing consciousness.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was a very blurry face.

Yet even blurred, Ye Yuan could tell from the outline that it was absolutely a face of stunning beauty.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but think back to what happened when Yu Feng ambushed him. Could it be... that the one who intervened was this woman?

But... when had he ever known such a powerful figure?

Ye Yuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Regardless, it was a good thing that the woman had saved him.

Ye Yuan silently memorized that blurry outline, determined to thank her properly when he saw her next time.

Seeing Ye Yuan lost in thought, the old man didn't disturb him but quietly observed the youth from the side.

He noticed that Ye Yuan lacked the impatience of ordinary young people and possessed a composure uncommon for his age.

Though his cultivation level wasn't high, for his age, he was already a prodigy.

When Ye Yuan came back to his senses, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Senior, I was lost in thought."

The old man smiled kindly. "No matter. I've been in this Dayan Space for several thousand years; my edges have long been worn smooth. How could I mind such a trivial matter?"

Ye Yuan smiled. "Thank you, Senior. It's too rude to speak like this. Allow me to take a pill to regain some strength before we talk further. Please forgive me."

With that, Ye Yuan took a pill from his storage ring and swallowed it, beginning to refine its medicinal power.

The old man saw the pill and his eyes narrowed.

Although the pill Ye Yuan took was only third-grade, its quality was extremely high! And with his knowledge, he couldn't even identify the pill's origin!

After all, the Dayan True Sect was once the strongest sect in the Boundless Realm, bar none!

The Dayan True Sect had a Pill Emperor; what third-grade pill in the Boundless Realm had he not seen?

Yet the pill Ye Yuan took was one he had never seen before!

Then, something even more astonishing happened...
