Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

It was a desolate land.

For dozens of li in every direction, not a single trace of plant life could be seen. Even the earth itself had turned a dark, jet black. This place looked like a forbidden zone for all living creatures. Even powerful exotic beasts did not dare to approach.

And at this moment, a lone figure was walking through it.

His destination, naturally, was the very center of this barren wasteland.

Unwittingly, Lin Yun had already been at Weiyang Mountain for several days. He had thought he would quickly find the legendary Seeking Dragon's Abyss. But this place was far more complex than he had imagined. It seemed the ancient senior who had set things up did not wish for the secrets here to be so easily discovered. Thus, the location of the abyss was exceptionally mysterious.

As time passed, the condition of Qin Xiyan on Lin Yun's back grew more and more urgent. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a growing sense of anxiety. If something were to go wrong, what would he do?

Fortunately, his hard work paid off. After spending several days searching, Lin Yun finally found the Seeking Dragon's Abyss.

According to the panel's提示 (tíshì - prompt/hint), this place was dangerous. The level of danger was no less than when he had fought the Demonic Flood Dragon. Although he was prepared, when he truly arrived, Lin Yun couldn't help but be stunned by the sheer desolation before him.

"This is the Seeking Dragon's Abyss?"

Looking at the volcano crater, which had been silent for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yun began to doubt if he had come to the wrong place. How could the key to opening the Underworld River Dragon Palace possibly be here?

"This should be the right place, shouldn't it? I have a feeling there's a dangerous aura here." At this critical moment, Lin Yun naturally didn't forget about the Chongqing Bird.

The creature was silent for a moment. "I cannot be certain if the key is here. However, like you, I sense a dangerous presence. It seems some powerful being is lurking here. You must be careful." As the Chongqing Bird spoke, its tone was laced with a hint of tension. No matter how they had viewed things before, they had to admit their current situation was not as perfect as they had imagined.

Lin Yun nodded, knowing the Chongqing Bird was not joking. But in all of Weiyang Mountain, he had found no other place as strange as this one.

He glanced at the still-unconscious Qin Xiyan on his back, and his resolve hardened. This girl had paid such a great price to save him. So today, whether he had to climb a mountain of knives or descend into a sea of fire, he would absolutely not retreat.

As Lin Yun walked forward step by step, he felt an immense pressure wash over him, as if a peculiar force was trying to push him away. But he would not give up so easily. An ordinary cultivator with a weaker constitution would surely find it difficult to resist this force. But Lin Yun gritted his teeth and stubbornly withstood it with his physical body.

He moved one step at a time, each footfall heavy, as if he were carrying a great mountain on his back. After a quarter of an hour, he had only advanced a hundred meters. The pace was incredibly slow, but he was already giving it his all.

He did not choose to give up. On the contrary, he began to channel his Yuan Qi, using his own power to its absolute maximum to break through the suppression.

Just then, the long-unconscious Qin Xiyan slowly began to wake. When she saw that Lin Yun was carrying her, a blush spread across her face.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Hearing her voice, Lin Yun responded. "Junior Sister Qin. You forcefully used that secret art this time, and it has caused immense damage to your body. I think you understand that if we don't find something to consolidate your condition, your special constitution will be the death of you."

Seeing Lin Yun's serious expression, Qin Xiyan was somewhat surprised. Ever since her awakening, she could clearly feel her cultivation advancing at an incredible rate, like a boat rising with the tide. But this speed did not come without a price. While her cultivation realm was rapidly increasing, she was also shouldering a great risk. In her current state, if she didn't solve this problem soon, it would only lead to endless trouble.

Lin Yun was worried about this very thing, which was why he was trying every means possible to handle it beforehand.

"I didn't expect you to have seen through it all, Senior Brother," Qin Xiyan said with a sigh. She knew that what she had done carried risks, but she couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Yun face danger while she remained indifferent. Besides, even if she hadn't used the secret art this time, her constitution was bound to cause problems sooner or later. It was just a pity that even Hong Xiu had no way to deal with her condition.

"Where are we?" she asked.

Lin Yun smiled. "You could say you're lucky. I happen to know how to handle the problem with your constitution. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be so fortunate." He smiled but didn't dwell on the topic, instead pouring all his energy into moving forward.

At first, Qin Xiyan didn't notice the problem, but after a while, she felt it. The reason she felt not a single bit of pressure was because Lin Yun was bearing all of it for her. He was carrying the pressure meant for two people all by himself. Yet even so, his pace was steadily increasing. This was an ordeal, but for Lin Yun, it was more like a form of training.

Qin Xiyan wanted to walk by herself, but her body was completely unable to muster any strength. Although she could remain conscious now, she might pass out again at any moment. So Lin Yun naturally would not agree to her request.

"Don't you worry. If a small matter like this can stop me, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?" Lin Yun said, full of confidence. Though the current situation was not as easy as he had thought, his strength was there, and he refused to believe he was helpless against this.

Although he spoke with confidence, it still took him nearly half a day to finally reach the edge of the volcano crater.

The moment he stood there, the pressure on his body vanished instantly. The immense change almost made him collapse to the ground. Instead, he let out a loud laugh.

After the series of battles he had endured, his cultivation realm had risen quickly. But that was not the result he wanted most. Especially after experiencing so much, he was more convinced than ever of one thing: only by building a solid foundation could his future be one of meteoric success. A rapid increase in cultivation level was not necessarily a good thing.

But now, within the restrictive ward of the Seeking Dragon's Abyss, he had managed to stabilize and consolidate his realm. That, in itself, was a joyous occasion.
