Chapter 166: The Land of Aberration

"Is there something important?"

"Or?"

Gazing at the glowing transcendent stone door, Gune narrowed his eyes slightly while secretly going on alert.

"Gune, it's me."

The voice came, the mellow, slightly aged voice of Osman.

"Phew..."

Hearing it was Osman, Gune finally relaxed a little.

At this moment, with two divine crowns in Dragon Head Great Harbor, Gune would believe it even if the evil gods had gathered all their forces to attack.

Gune withdrew the puppet secret thread, pressed one hand against the transcendent stone door, and chanted the spell.

"Click, click, click..." The transcendent stone door slowly opened.

As soon as the stone door opened, Gune saw Osman, dressed in a white robe and wearing a white wizard hat.

At the same time, beside Osman stood several transcendent masters.

Among them, Gune recognized two.

The Steel Wizard "Thorstein Kalasa" and the transcendent master Gultong.

There were four or five other transcendent masters Gune did not know, but he knew they were all transcendent masters stationed at Dragon Head Great Harbor.

Besides these, Gune also noticed another powerhouse, a spirit ancestor.

This spirit ancestor's aura was perfectly concealed, but it could not deceive Gune's soul perception domain, which was attuned to the world's essence.

Gune could sense from him a vast, profound aura like a torrent of knowledge.

Gune had felt this torrent of knowledge before from Sograt Cardrez.

Only, this spirit ancestor's torrent of knowledge was far less profound than Sograt Cardrez's.

"This is the Star Gazer Murand Elkeri, a respected and powerful scholar," Osman introduced.

"Greetings, senior scholar." Gune bowed slightly.

Murand Elkeri's gaze swept over Gune, and a hint of surprise emerged in the depths of his eyes.

Although he had heard from other powerhouses that this Gune was special, that it was basically impossible to discern anything from him, Murand Elkeri had initially been somewhat skeptical.

Now, at such close range, he still could not glean any useful information, and he finally believed it.

"Truly a special little fellow, and soon, this little fellow will grow to a height we can hardly reach," Murand Elkeri mused inwardly.

"Nigel has already left, gone to a very secluded cultivation site," Osman said now.

Gune was not surprised to hear this.

Senior Nigel, possessing the spirit ancestor crown, indeed needed the utmost protection, for he was destined to become an eternal deity.

"And you, you need to accompany Murand Elkeri to the capital of Yulan for secluded training."

"Mm!" Gune nodded.

"Follow me," Murand Elkeri said, looking at Gune.

Osman and Murand Elkeri led the way, and Gune followed them through the mountain tunnels of Dragon Head Great Harbor.

The stationed transcendent masters did not follow.

After about ten minutes or so.

The three arrived one after another in a huge space within the mountain.

As soon as the stone door ahead opened, Gune felt a thick and rich fluctuation of spatial essence, and a dazzling white light shone in.

Within this mountain space lay a massive teleportation array.

After his gaze swept over the stone walls and floor of this space, Gune withdrew his gaze slightly.

"This teleportation array is clearly ancient, but there are traces of repair in many places. It should not have been built by the Transcendent Association, but by the dragon race that lived in Dragon Head Great Harbor in ancient times. Later, as the dragons declined, it fell into disrepair, and then the Transcendent Association discovered it and restored it."

Gune pondered inwardly.

"Gune." After standing by the teleportation array, Osman looked over.

"This time, you will accompany Murand Elkeri to the capital of Yulan."

"Cultivate with focus. Resources will be fully provided there. Speak up whenever you need anything. After all, your cultivation is of great importance."

"Mm, I understand." Gune nodded.

While speaking with Osman, Murand Elkeri had already stepped into the teleportation array.

"Senior, I'll be going then."

"Mm." Osman nodded slightly.

"Buzz, buzz..."

Under Murand Elkeri's manipulation, the entire teleportation array emitted a dazzling light.

"Buzz!"

With a slight tremor in space.

The white light before his eyes gradually faded.

Gune narrowed his eyes, alertly watching his surroundings, while the teleportation mark clutched under his robe was ready to activate at any moment.

Although Osman trusted Murand Elkeri greatly.

For Gune, who knew what the other's true intentions were.

Thus, he naturally would not skimp on necessary precautions. If the other were a spy or harbored ulterior motives, Gune would be prepared.

"Here... is the high altitude of the Yulan Kingdom."

As the white light dissipated, Murand Elkeri's voice came softly.

Gune looked out.

He seemed to be at an altitude of about five or six hundred meters.

Looking out, beneath a faint haze lay the boundless, vast capital of Yulan.

The entire capital of Yulan was filled with towering buildings, with wide roads crisscrossing.

In the suburbs, there were densely packed, huge industrial factories roaring with steam.

This was the advanced representative of the steam age.

In the urban area, numerous private motor vehicles, buses, and dense crowds of people moved back and forth on the bustling streets.

On both sides of the streets were various lively shops.

In a flash, Gune felt as if he had arrived in a modern metropolis.

After staring for a long time, Gune slowly withdrew his gaze.

"How is it?" Murand said softly.

"Very震撼ing." Gune nodded slightly.

"Indeed quite震撼ing. In these past few decades, especially the last ten or twenty years, the changes in the capital of Yulan have been enormous."

"So great it's almost hard to believe."

"Once you immerse yourself in its prosperity, you will come to love this luxurious city of desire," Murand said.

Gune smiled upon hearing this.

The capital of Yulan indeed bore the nickname "City of Desire."

Dreams, ambition, desire, money, power, beauty, and the most advanced technology of the era were all interwoven in this steam metropolis on the verge of entering a higher level of the steam age.

"Where is this?"

Then Gune pointed to the place where he stood and asked.

At this moment, Gune was standing on something like a high-altitude plank road.

Only, everything was in a state of invisible transparency.

At the same time, Gune could feel that his surroundings seemed completely isolated from the outside world.

And in the distance, there was a vortex-shaped transcendent door, leading to an unknown location.

"This is the 'Extradimensional High Altitude' of the capital of Yulan. People below cannot see this place."

"At the same time, this is also the core area of the Star Gazing Tower."

"Star Gazing Tower?" Gune's heart stirred. He had not heard much about this thing before.

"Yes, the Star Gazing Tower."

"Through the 'Star Magic Pool Telescope' here, we can observe many foreign transcendent worlds, and also the large transcendent world that serves as the core of our transcendent world cluster, the Gulantan World."

"At the same time!" Murand Elkeri's tone grew slightly heavy and solemn.

"When necessary, at some key passages and nodes, we drive away the dark creatures from the dark side of the world and the aberrant creatures from that bizarre star domain."

At Murand Elkeri's words, Gune was taken aback.

Creatures from the dark side of the world were easy to understand, but what were the strange creatures from the bizarre star domain?
