"This place is like a bottomless pit!"
"Hmm." Zhang Yun nodded slightly, then took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his inner world.
"The pills inside will surely be of great benefit to your cultivation. Now, you may leave."
As he spoke, Zhang Yun handed the porcelain bottle to Hua Mubai, causing him to pause slightly in surprise.
"Brother Zhang, you really underestimate me, Hua Mubai!"
Hua Mubai rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I brought you here for such a trivial pill?"
"Wrong, terribly wrong!"
"I came here to be your friend. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't agree to marry my beautiful daughter to them, let alone give them medicine!"
In fact, Hua Mubai's original plan was to bring Zhang Yun here and then set off back to the capital.
But Zhang Yun's indifferent and cold attitude seemed to look down on him, which made his self-esteem soar.

Chapter 166 It's probably a fake Heavenly Origin Realm
Upon hearing Hua Mubai's panicked shouts and the sound of his figure plummeting downwards, two dark lines immediately appeared on Zhang Yun's forehead.
"Hua Mubai, your claim of being at the Heavenly Origin Realm is probably fake, isn't it?"
"Tianyuan Realm?"
During the fall, Hua Mubai and Meng An suddenly slapped their foreheads.
"Oh yeah, look at my brain, how could I forget something so important!"
As everyone knows, on the Cloud Sky Continent, any expert who reaches the Heavenly Origin Realm can defy gravity and walk through the void!
A few breaths later, Zhang Yun and Hua Mubai landed safely on the ground.
"What kind of place is this? It's pitch black."
It was pitch black all around, and even a cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm would have their vision greatly impeded without special means, which made Hua Mubai inexplicably panicked, as he didn't know when someone might suddenly pounce from the side.
At this moment, a cluster of golden and eerie flames rose from Zhang Yun's palm, causing Hua Mubai to be stunned once again.
Zhang Yun was actually able to summon a different kind of flame, with different attributes and color than the previous pale black flame?
Moreover, he could vaguely sense that this dazzling golden flame was no weaker than the pale black flame!
Hua Mubai couldn't help but become curious as well.
Just how many more terrifying methods does Zhang Yun possess?
"Stay close to me and don't wander off," Zhang Yun said solemnly.
Anyone who enters a mysterious and unfamiliar environment, where danger lurks at any moment, will instinctively become more vigilant.
Zhang Yun was no exception.
"Mm." Hua Mubai nodded seriously and didn't say anything more.
Whether he can get out of here alive now largely depends on Zhang Yun.
At times like these, Zhang Yun is his protector and the source of his life's growth; he must never offend him.
Zhang Yun wasn't in a hurry as expected. Instead, he led Hua Mubai slowly through the underwater passage, keeping a close watch on everything to deal with any unexpected situations.
The Star Origin Forest is teeming with monsters, and this underwater passage is no exception. As Zhang Yun and his companion walked through it, they were frequently attacked or attempted to attack by various monsters.
However, so far, Zhang Yun and his companion have only encountered low-level demonic beasts, which are no match for them. Even if Zhang Yun doesn't make a move, Hua Mubai can take them down one after another.
Just then, Zhang Yun's eyes flickered slightly.
Because he smelled a strong and unusual stench of blood.
"Um?"
From afar, with his exceptional eyesight, Zhang Yun gradually noticed a colossal object blocking his view not far ahead.
The enormous monster was somewhat similar to the octopus found in the ocean on Earth, but its massive body was at least several dozen feet long, like a small mountain.
The tentacles, each as long as a bucket, were also a shocking sight, resembling sharp needles.
When Hua Mubai saw the monster's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Such a huge monster, I wonder what its cultivation level is, it must be terrifying."
"However, I'm certain that this monster is dead, beyond any doubt!"
Hua Mubai analyzed confidently.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes at Hua Mubai.
The area was littered with signs of a fight, and the corpses of young humans, seemingly recently deceased, could be seen from time to time, along with the severed tentacles of the monster.
Clearly, a life-or-death battle between humans and this monster took place here not long ago.
As expected, despite suffering heavy losses, the human side ultimately succeeded in killing the enemy and winning the battle.
However, with Zhang Yun's eyesight and perception, even though this octopus-like monster was already dead, he could still clearly sense that this monster's cultivation level must have been comparable to that of a human at the early stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm.
According to Hua Mubai's previous account, the humans who studied the rules for entering and exiting ancient tombs must have learned from countless past lessons and would never send a powerful expert at the Heavenly Gang Realm or above.
