Chapter 1128 A Timely Rescue, Zi Yunchuan's Gratitude

As for what kind of goods this caravan was transporting, Chu Xia did not know. When traveling outside, he rarely revealed his identity, trying his best to avoid trouble.

This was a principle his father had taught him since childhood. After all, the outside world was different from being in the Immortal Chu Dynasty.

This was something Chu Xia understood very well.

I've heard that in Purple Return City, there's a place called Riverside Pavilion, backed by the Fragrant Dao Academy. Once we arrive in Purple Return City, I must go and take a look.

The towering city gate, like an immortal mountain, loomed ahead, shrouded in a hazy, chaotic light.

Seeing this, Chu Xia couldn't help but open his folding fan and smile.

The Fragrant Dao Academy was an extremely famous ancient force in the Prime-Origin Civilization, known for only accepting female disciples and emphasizing the brevity of life, encouraging them to enjoy the moment.

Riverside Pavilion was a place under the Fragrant Dao Academy, where its female disciples often came to temper their hearts in the mortal world.

Hearing this, Chu Xia's servant boy also showed excitement in his eyes.

Following Chu Xia, he naturally reaped benefits as well, occasionally getting a taste of the finer things.

Purple Return City was incredibly majestic, like an ancient life star standing tall on this vast, primitive land.

Surrounding it, immortal mist rose, and lakes stretched endlessly, with multicolored water vapors swirling, creating a scene of auspiciousness.

The city itself was vast, with towering buildings and ancient divine mountains rising in the distance, shrouded in radiant light. Waterfalls cascaded down, as if falling from the heavens.

On the ancient streets, countless cultivators and beings came and went, with many carriages and ancient beasts carrying goods.

Brother Gu's sect must be extraordinary, to have nurtured someone like you.

When I have the chance, I must pay a visit.

At this moment, on the widest ancient street in the center of Purple Return City, a group of people was walking.

The one speaking was a tall and handsome man wearing a purple robe.

He wore a purple-gold crown, exuding an imposing aura, and his eyes occasionally flashed with a purple light, giving him a somewhat demonic appearance.

Behind him were many men and women, all around the same age, his followers. Some were from his clan, while others were from different races, all exuding powerful auras. The weakest among them was at the Immortal King realm.

Of course, while these men and women looked young, their actual ages exceeded hundreds of thousands of years.

However, compared to other cultivators of the same realm, they were considered young, standing at the forefront of the younger generation.

The purple-robed man carried an innate air of nobility, but now he was speaking with a young man in white, his tone polite and friendly.

My sect is nothing worth mentioning. On the other hand, Brother Zi, coming from Purple Dew Mountain, truly surprised me.

Brother Zi never mentioned this before. If it weren't for coming to Purple Return City, I would still be in the dark.

The young man in white was even taller and more slender than the purple-robed man, with jet-black hair and an immortal-like demeanor.

His features were flawless, as if carved from immortal jade, even more perfect than the most exquisite sculptures.

He also smiled, speaking in a slightly teasing tone.

Brother Gu, you flatter me. My identity is nothing special.

If it weren't for you saving me back then, I would probably be dead by now.

The purple-robed man chuckled, though a hint of pride flashed deep in his eyes.

His name was Zi Yunchuan, a core disciple of Purple Dew Mountain, and his status was extremely noble. His mother was the younger sister of the current master of Purple Dew Mountain.

Purple Dew Mountain was one of the supreme forces of the Prime-Origin Civilization, on par with the Xiyuan Sacred Hall, the Endless Demon Domain, the Imperial Immortal Palace, and a few others.

Thus, Zi Yunchuan had every reason to be proud of his status.

Among the disciples of Purple Dew Mountain of this generation, his talent and strength were enough to rank in the top five, with few able to rival him.

In Purple Return City, it was almost impossible to find another person of comparable status and standing.

Despite this, Zi Yunchuan remained extremely polite and respectful toward the young man in white.

The young man in white seemed much younger than him, but his strength was unfathomable, completely beyond Zi Yunchuan's understanding.

In Zi Yunchuan's eyes, the young man in white might already be a young Immortal Emperor.

Of course, the two had not known each other for long.

In fact, their acquaintance was entirely due to a coincidence.

Zi Yunchuan had come to Purple Return City for the Ten Thousand Treasures Secret Realm that was about to open.

On the way, he and his followers had encountered an extremely rare spatial rift and nearly fell into it, losing their lives.

The spatial rift they encountered was no ordinary one. On the other side was likely the legendary Lawless and Heavenless Land, a place of chaos and strangeness.

There, all rules and order would cease to exist. No matter how powerful their cultivation or how many protective treasures they had, it would be useless. They would be trapped there for eternity.

Zi Yunchuan didn't know why he was so unlucky to encounter such a spatial rift, something that might not appear even once in tens of millions of years.

He didn't even have time to call for his protector. Half of his body had already fallen into the rift.

Just as he was about to be swallowed by the spatial rift, Zi Yunchuan had already given up hope.

At the critical moment, the young man in white suddenly appeared from afar and, risking falling into the rift himself, saved Zi Yunchuan and his followers.

Afterward, Zi Yunchuan and the others were naturally extremely grateful.

Of course, they were also very curious about the origins of the young man in white.

To be able to save them in such a dangerous situation, his strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.

However, Zi Yunchuan did not ask too much, as this involved the other party's secrets.

Everyone in this world had their secrets. When the young man in white had saved them, he had not hesitated, even at the cost of losing several extremely rare treasures.

This act of kindness was something Zi Yunchuan remembered clearly.

Later, Zi Yunchuan learned that this mysterious young man in white was surnamed Gu. Coincidentally, they were heading the same way, both going to Purple Return City for the Ten Thousand Treasures Secret Realm.

Thus, they traveled together, leading to the current situation.
