Chapter 0574: Yu Xinghai
The person who had bounded in was tall and lanky, possessing black hair and pupils. He was garbed in a white robe and seemed very elegant. Every movement he made and even his smile seemed refined and well-practiced with the air of nobility around it.
Yet when he smiled, one could see sharp canines protruding. His entire image made him seem extraordinarily handsome and even strangely charming.
With a single glance, considering his youth and his graceful demeanor and bearing, Wu Yu could guess that this was a genius at the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. To be honest, most of the individuals in the Taigu Immortal Path were at that cultivation level, so it wasn't unexpected.
More importantly, this seemingly reserved and graceful individual brought about a sense of crisis to Wu Yu that was no weaker than what Jiang Qijun exerted.
Yet Wu Yu was not shocked by that. What was astonishing was that although an air of saintliness hung around him, making him seem like some descendant of a holy kingdom, with Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire and Gold, one could see that his body was infested with ghostly cultivator energy. Wu Yu had dealt with countless ghostly cultivators and therefore knew he could not be wrong.
Although he possessed a seemingly sacred temperament, he came from the dark and despised. Under the veneer of his flawless skin lay a festering source of ghostly cultivation.
If he were to be enraged, he would turn into a ghostly god.
Without saying, this was someone that Wu Yu could not beat at this point in time. Wu Yu had not made any preparations, as it was pointless.
Thus, when he entered, Wu Yu prepared to retreat. If he was unable to do so, he would directly leave the Taigu Immortal Path.
He would have to see how the Ancient Pagoda of Time would deal with the situation.
Curiously, when the ghostly cultivator entered, the doors behind him did not close. Perhaps there was no other way for someone to enter from the outside, but at least it was easy to leave.
"Based upon the rules of the Ancient Pagoda of Time, once someone enters and challenges me, one will eventually have to leave, and the open door is always an option. Thus, I can still leave. I have to make use of this opportunity to quickly escape." The door behind the ghostly cultivator was his only target right now.
He could no longer dally here. Who would have expected the next challenger to be so obscenely powerful?
"There's actually someone here? Did you enter this place previously?" The youth clearly spotted Wu Yu when he entered.
Wu Yu nodded. "Indeed. I entered 10 days ago." The youth was not concerned with Wu Yu, but rather observed the surroundings.
"I had only just entered the cloud sea and then managed to encounter this pagoda. I heard that within the cloud sea are 100 ancient pagodas. Some can be entered and some cannot. However, once one does, no one else can barge in. Thus, there have been numerous quarrels. I didn't manage to snatch one for myself, but, unexpectedly, I managed to stumble upon this one. Strange... truly strange!"
Wu Yu could be considered to be one of the lucky few. It seemed as though the rules had yet to be transmitted. Although each ancient pagoda might have a different flow of time, it was likely that the limit of 10 days was consistent. Today was the day the count reset.
He would be forced to battle or escape.
The newcomer, on the other hand, did not know of the rules, and that was Wu Yu's advantage. Wu Yu only wanted to leave, and he continued to wrack his brains for ideas.
"I'm known as Yu Xinghai. What about you?" Wu Yu had not expected the ghostly cultivator to be so arrogant, to just engage in idle banter while casually walking around the pagoda, observing the place.
At this point, Wu Yu's aim was now wide open and unguarded.
His movements were not large as he gradually made his way. He managed to keep his cool despite being in such a potentially dangerous situation. Luckily, the opponent had not demonstrated any ill intent.
