Upgrade Specialist in Another World

“Is this...the final barrier?!”

In front of Bai Yunfei’s group was a magnificent hall that filled everyone with a sense of wonder and mystique.

The hall was quite different than the ones before. It was larger than the others and had mist covering the majority of the walls and pillars. Only the entrance was without mist, though its entrance was giant and dark as if ready to swallow up anyone that dared to enter it.

Their soulsense wasn’t able to penetrate its entrance, meaning only the naked eye would be able to see anything here.

This sight in front of them was exactly as the Wind Saint and the Saint of Fate recorded. This was the hall with the strongest barrier!

This was the final obstruction. The final threshold. The Supreme Saint’s Inheritance was beyond this ‘entrance’ inside the hall!

Entering the hall wasn’t hard. The hard part was leaving it. To this, the Saint of Fate and Gu Jimie could both attest to.

When the Saint of Fate tried, he made it to the final ‘door’ before coming across the last obstruction. Bai Yunfei knew their attempt would be slightly different. They still had another giant challenge before that—Gu Lianhun!

According to the Wind Saint, Gu Lianhun was trapped in this hall!!

No one expected to come across this final barrier so quickly. The distance from the medicinal garden to now had only been three barriers. One of them was an unknown one, so it took the combined and prolonged efforts of Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint to overcome.

In the end, the group was here. They thought it’d take more time and effort to get here, but it was ultimately not as hard as they expected.

As unexpected as it was, there was still more to do. And no one was going to shirk away from the prize due to Gu Lianhun.

“We are here earlier than expected, but things are still going to plan. Let us begin!”

Shen Pojun announced, determined.

“Oh? Right away?” Bai Yunfei blinked. “Ancestor, don’t you and senior Frostfeather need some time to recover your strength? We should take some time to recover...”

The Frostfeather Saint shook his head, “Our reserves are still quite considerable. A rest isn’t necessary. We’ve forged the road bravely so far, what reason have to cower now? You, on the other hand...are the one most vulnerable in our plans. Are you prepared yet?”

Bai Yunfei nodded. “Please rest assured! This plan is definitely going to work, I won’t let you down!”

......

A while later, while Bai Yunfei and the group stood right outside the hall.

In front of them was an empty space of chaos.

Under the giant gates sat a cross-legged individual. From the distance, the individual looked just as still as a stone statue.

But then the ‘stone statue’ trembled. Two beams of bright light shot forth from the eyes before the figure sprung up to its feet. Another burst of light erupted to cover the figure, revealing a very familiar face of...

Gu Lianhun!

The true ‘ancestor’ of the Soul Refining School, and captive for two hundred years!

Gu Lianhun’s eyes radiated with a brilliant light. “At last! Is it Jimie? Did they find the way to getting here? But...why has the Abyssal Snake Saint come as well?”

When Gu Lianhun’s avatar died, he managed to force open a connection to the real world and send out a message. There wasn’t much time to fully explain the situation, but he managed to get the gist out. As long as Gu Jimie succeeded with the Fate School, they’d be able to know more about his fate here.

He knew about the Fate School and their divining object. He also knew about the return of the Saint of Fate’s Rune and took advantage of it to send a message of his own.

Gu Lianhun waited for this day ever since then. Today was the day since he felt an irregularity in his soul. He could sense a ‘signal’ from his bond with the Abyssal Snake Saint!

It had been two hundred years since he last made ‘contact’ with the Abyssal Snake Saint. Not since he ‘made a deal’ with him to become Soul Emperors. Gu Lianhun had actually almost forgotten about the Abyssal Snake Saint.

If the Abyssal Snake Saint could be felt, then Gu Lianhun knew that Gu Jimie was here. He could hardly contain his excitement.

Being trapped for two hundred years made it impossible for him to feel happy. He had almost given up until when he sent that message out. If assistance were to arrive, would he not be able to break free from this ‘door’ and obtain the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance? How could he not be excited in that case?

“They’re getting close, it’s almost time now!”

His bond with the Abyssal Snake Saint was getting stronger and stronger now. Already he was starting to head forward to meet with his ‘comrade’.

A hole opened up in the gate in front of him to reveal several figures flying through it. He froze up the moment he saw them fly in.

“Enemies! That’s not Gu Jimie and the Abyssal Snake Saint!” He thought to himself.

A moment later and his expression change when he noticed something strange...

“A Soul Emperor?!”

He almost didn’t trust his senses. One of the people coming in was clearly...just a Soul Emperor!

......

“We’re caught!!” Bai Yunfei narrowed his eyes the moment he felt Gu Lianhun’s attention on him. “That’s definitely Gu Lianhun!”

They were all found the moment they entered into this place. Their exact presences weren’t known, due to the chaotic atmosphere and the extra time needed to, but Gu Lianhun definitely knew of their strength!

Bai Yunfei managed to calm himself after his panic. “If you found us, then...come and get us!”

And just like that, he accelerated forward!

“He’s coming!!”

Another second later and Bai Yunfei felt a difference in the air. He didn’t know where Gu Lianhun was, but the fluctuations in the atmosphere were telling him Gu Lianhun was rapidly approaching!

Though he ran the simulations of this fight multiple times before, Bai Yunfei was hard-pressed to contain his excitement. Already his soulforce was circulating through his body with great speeds as if ready for battle.

“I care not for who you are...but submit and prostrate yourself at once!!”

An icy voice boomed throughout the place. A powerful wave of energy accompanied the voice with enough force to shatter the air and force everything aside for a gray figure to appear in front of Bai Yunfei!

No sooner did the man appear did his right hand shoot forward to grip at Bai Yunfei!

Waves of black energy surged for Bai Yunfei. Condensing into ten razor sharp claws, the energy then flew through the sky as if to swipe at a fly!
