The group went directly to the woods outside the East City Gate.
Chu Zhiyuan pursed his lips and let out a long whistle.
The whistle echoed continuously and spread out.

A moment later, two golden lights shot out from the woods and stopped in front of them, stirring up a gust of wind.
Standing steadily in the whirlwind were two Celestial Dragon Divine Horses.
Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward and patted one of the Celestial Dragon Divine Horses, turning his head and saying, "Yingying, Hanyue, you two ride this one."
Xu Yingying excitedly agreed, "I can ride it?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "You should be able to now, give it a try."
He now had a smoother communication with the two horses and could understand each other's thoughts.
Xu Yingying stepped forward, and Shen Hanyue followed, but cautiously.
They had tried before and failed. The Celestial Dragon Divine Horses were unwilling to carry them at all. As soon as they got close, they would kick with incredible speed and great strength.
They really weren't a match for them.
Xu Yingying stepped forward and reached out her small hand, touching the female Celestial Dragon Divine Horse.
It flinched slightly, but didn't kick, only snorted.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "No need to touch it, just get on."
Xu Yingying flipped onto the horse.
The Celestial Dragon Divine Horse let out a soft whinny, as if expressing dissatisfaction.
Chu Zhiyuan appeased it and looked at Shen Hanyue with a smile.
Shen Hanyue leaped behind Xu Yingying, humming, "Finally, it's working."
Xu Yingying excitedly said, "Let's go, let's run and see."
She had long wanted to experience the feeling of riding a Celestial Dragon Divine Horse.
Chu Zhiyuan flipped onto his horse, and with a wave of his hand, Xiao Ruoling lightly landed in front of him.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Zou Fang, "Those Venerable statues are very important, don't lose them."
"Yes, Young Master," Zou Fang replied.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Guo Chi, "I'll be back today, be careful, don't get taken care of by the evil cult's demons."
"Don't worry, Young Master," Guo Chi solemnly clasped his fist.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded and gently tapped the horse's belly, "Let's go."
Two golden lights instantly shot out, disappearing at the end of the official road in the blink of an eye.
Riding on the Celestial Dragon Divine Horse, Xu Yingying and Shen Hanyue widened their eyes, wishing they could shout out loud.
This feeling of excitement was too intense.
Chu Zhiyuan had been constantly feeding the two horses demon crystals, making them stronger and stronger.
Their current speed had already surpassed ordinary grandmasters, and was strangely fast.
Although Chu Zhiyuan could also reach this speed, he didn't have this speed when carrying one or two people, and even less so when carrying three.
The faster the speed, the greater the resistance, which increased exponentially.
He could reduce the resistance through spiritual energy, but he couldn't reduce the resistance of the people he was carrying.
At high speed, the influence of resistance and weight would be magnified dozens of times.
Despite the extraordinary speed, the scenery on both sides quickly receded into the distance.
Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling were unaffected, and the oncoming gale was separated by invisible spiritual energy.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "What exactly is the matter?"
He had already seen the content of the letter, which only contained four words: "Profound Yin has changed."
He speculated that this Profound Yin was the Profound Yin Palace, and the change meant he didn't know what changes had occurred.
Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brow and shook her head, "The Profound Yin Palace has always been closed. It only occasionally opens when we select a Holy Maiden, but the origin of this Profound Yin Palace is extremely ancient."
"Yes, Outer Heavens," Xiao Ruoling looked at the trees flashing past on both sides of the road and said softly, "It is said that the Profound Yin Palace is a sect from the Outer Heavens, and this Profound Yin Palace is a projection of the Profound Yin Palace of the Outer Heavens in a secret place."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.
Xiao Ruoling said, "This is a phenomenon of heaven and earth, beyond imagination."
"What kind of changes will there be?"
"The Profound Yin Palace will have a chance to merge with reality once every ten thousand years."
"Merge with reality?" Chu Zhiyuan pondered, "Does that mean the projection merges with the real Profound Yin Palace? Could it be that people from the Outer Heavens will come out of the Profound Yin Palace?"
Xiao Ruoling gently shook her head, "People from the Outer Heavens cannot enter the shadow, but the shadow can be cast into the Outer Heavens."
"This Profound Yin Palace can enter the real Profound Yin Palace?"
"Yes," Xiao Ruoling nodded gently.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then have any Holy Maidens entered the real Profound Yin Palace?"
This was actually equivalent to ascension.
Compared to ascending with the Son of Heaven Sword, it was much easier to be taken into the Outer Heavens by the Profound Yin Palace.
"Yes," Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, "But no one knows if they are dead or alive. They disappeared without a trace and never appeared again."
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful, "If this Profound Yin Palace is really like this, do you want to try going up?"
Xiao Ruoling shook her head and smiled, "What would I do up there?"
She wasn't married yet, and hadn't become the Young Master's wife yet, so how could she leave?
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at the void, "I am more and more convinced that there are Outer Heavens."
Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, "There are indeed Outer Heavens."
Few people in the world know about the Outer Heavens, and only think of it as a legend.
But they don't know that the Outer Heavens are a real and true existence.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "When I take charge of the Son of Heaven Sword in the future, I will choose to ascend up there."
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "You know that the Son of Heaven Sword can help me ascend to the next level of heaven, right?"
"Yes, I've heard of it," Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brow.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I have been thinking about how to bring you all up together, but there is no precedent for this. Ascension can only be done by oneself."
Xiao Ruoling said softly, "Do you want me to enter the Profound Yin Palace of the Outer Heavens?"
Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "But I don't know if this legend is true or false. What if it's a trap? It's too risky."
Xiao Ruoling fell into thought.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's first determine whether the change in the Profound Yin Palace is this. It's too early to say these things."
Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, thoughtfully.
She could be sure that the Profound Yin Palace's once-in-ten-thousand-year opportunity had appeared.
She was now in a dilemma, whether to marry Chu Zhiyuan and stay with him for a few years, or to venture into the Profound Yin Palace and meet Chu Zhiyuan in the Outer Heavens.
The former was certain and short-lived, while the latter was long-lasting and illusory.
How should she choose?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The key is how to determine whether the news of the Profound Yin Palace ascending to the Outer Heavens is true or false. I'll go ask my royal grandfather."
Xiao Ruoling said, "The Emperor may not know."
The Great Jing Dynasty had been established for less than ten thousand years, and he might not know about things from ten thousand or tens of thousands of years ago.
Moreover, this was the secret of secrets of the Profound Yin Palace, and even less likely to be known.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a while, "Is there no way to find out whether the Holy Maiden of ten thousand years ago is dead or alive?"
"The Holy Maiden of ten thousand years ago was named Feng Heng. When she entered the Profound Yin Palace, the Holy Maiden Jade Talisman remained in the sect and has never been extinguished. I don't know if she is alive or if the jade talisman has expired."
"Can I see this jade talisman?" Chu Zhiyuan's spirits lifted.
He had extrasensory perception, and his intuition was more accurate and stronger, and he could sense what outsiders could not sense.
"Okay," Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, "This matter cannot be spread."
"I naturally understand," Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
This was the secret of secrets, and as a Holy Maiden, it could not be spread.
Xiao Ruoling had already violated the rules.
The Celestial Dragon Divine Horse sped like lightning, and in half a day, they rushed from Tianjing to the foot of Inviting Moon Peak.
Chu Zhiyuan did not return immediately, but went to his small courtyard on Guest Peak.
After he came, the cold and quiet Guest Peak became lively again.
The disciples of Inviting Moon Palace were particularly close to Chu Zhiyuan, firstly because he was the Holy Maiden's husband, and therefore the son-in-law of Inviting Moon Palace, and secondly because he had made great contributions to Inviting Moon Palace.
They could all feel his closeness, so they naturally became close to him as well.
Just after he finished washing up, Xiao Ruoling arrived and handed him a jade pendant the size of a little finger.
