Chapter 611 - Freefall After arriving at the immortal caves, Song Ling'er asked the disciples there for their story. "That person touched the immortal cave and disappeared the next second!" "It was so sudden! He hasn't returned since then!" Song Ling'er frowned at the situation, and she began looking around the Zither Goddess' immortal cave, even touching the exact same spot that Yuan had touched, but nothing happened. "Oh, I forgot to mention this, but he played a song with the Soul Ensnaring Zither before touching the immortal cave." Ai Wan suddenly said. "Why didn't you tell me this first?!" Song Ling'er sighed. "Do you know what kind of song he played?" "No, I have never heard of such a song before." "Can you replicate it?" Song Ling'er then asked. Ai Wan didn't immediately respond. She closed her eyes and recalled Yuan's performance and tried to play his song inside her mind, but alas, she was unable to remember the song for some reason, almost like there was an otherworldly power preventing her from doing so. "I cannot remember the song…" Ai Wan sighed after trying. "What? You should be able to memorize a song after hearing it once. Was the song he played really that difficult?" Song Ling'er looked at Ai Wan with a surprised face. "Not difficult— it was complex, almost like it was a technique as well as a song. That's the best I can describe it." Ai Wan said. "A song that is also a technique…? To think he's already reached that level…" Song Ling'er mumbled to herself. And she continued a moment later, "Anyways, I don't think there is anything we can do but wait for him to return on his own." "No way…" Ai Wan mumbled. She couldn't help but blame herself for this situation, as she was the one who asked Yuan to open the Zither Goddess' immortal cave. If she hadn't done such a thing, Yuan wouldn't have disappeared. 'If a heavenly genius like him is forever gone because of me…' Ai Wan could not imagine being responsible for the death of such a genius, so she silently prayed for his safety. Meanwhile, somewhere in this universe, Yuan was surrounded by nothing but pure darkness. "Hello?! Anyone there?!" Yuan walked around in this darkness while shouting for the past few minutes but to no avail. 'I really hope this is the Zither Goddess' immortal cave and the reason it's so dark is because the lights are off…' Yuan sighed inwardly. After walking aimlessly for about ten minutes, Yuan suddenly stopped, as he could see a thin line of light very far in the distance. The moment he saw this, Yuan immediately began running towards this light. However, this light was actually much further than it appeared. Even though he had been running for many minutes, he doesn't seem to be getting any closer to the light. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 About an hour later, he finally arrived before the light that was literally a bright pillar of light. Yuan swallowed nervously, as he felt an incredibly strong beckoning coming from the pillar of light, almost as though it was daring him to approach it. "As much as I don't want to get close to this light… It's probably my only way out of this void. As for where it will lead me— if it even leads to anywhere, I will have to find out myself." Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Once he was prepared, he began stepping towards this pillar of light, disappearing into it. Yuan immediately began feeling dizzy after entering the pillar of light, but it wasn't an unfamiliar feeling, as he would often feel the same thing when he was being transported to someplace through teleportation. 'I am being teleported… but the question is where?' Yuan braced himself as he watched his surroundings blur. The next moment, Yuan found himself in a very familiar scenery. It was mostly blue, and it was surrounded by these fluffy white objects that would drift at a slow and smooth pace. "Why am I in the sky again?!" Yuan exclaimed as his body began falling. Fortunately, he was a Spirit Grandmaster, and he could fly. Except that wasn't the case, as when he tried to fly, it didn't work at all, almost like the spiritual energy in the air didn't want to listen to him for some reason. "Is this how I will experience my first death in Cultivation Online?! This is so unfair!" Yuan cried out loud as he continued to freefall this seemingly endless sky. A few more moments later, he could finally start seeing the ground. It was at this moment that Yuan noticed the blue land that was directly beneath him, and he immediately released a sigh of relief. 'Thank the heavens that I am falling in water…' However, before he even reached the water, he could see that there were a couple of people floating in this water. And not wanting to land on them, he quickly shouted at them, "Get out of the way!" These people were puzzled at first when they heard Yuan's voice, and they quickly began looking around in a frantic manner. "I am above you!" Yuan shouted again. These people finally looked up, allowing Yuan to see their faces, and they were all extremely beautiful women. However, before he could say anything else, his freefall had ended, and he fell into this somewhat deep pond. "Phua!" Yuan quickly tried to swim out of this pond, but since he has never learned how to swim before, he ended up struggling a bit. If it were not for his superior strength that allowed him to move in the water without knowing how to swim, he would've never gotten out of the pond and would've drowned to death sooner or later. After getting out of the water, Yuan turned to face the six beautiful women that were still bathing inside the water, and all of them had a baffled look on their faces, looking like they were witnessing something that shouldn't be possible.
