Yang Qingxuan grabbed Zi Yuan's hand and said, "Let's go."
Then, the two turned into streams of light and rushed up.
This time, there was no obstruction. They flew up the canyon and escaped into the distance.
Moments after the two left, the canyon fell into a dead silence. Only the rapid flow of the underground river could be heard.
Suddenly, an inexplicable voice sounded out of nowhere and broke the silence. It said with great reverence, "Mother, why didn't you kill those two?"
A woman's voice sounded as if she had just opened her eyes after sleeping for a long time. It was soft and weak, slightly hoarse, but with an inviolable solemnity and holiness. She said faintly, "So many years have passed and the seal has just been broken. We don't know what the Firmament Star Field is like now. Don't make too many enemies."
The woman seemed to recall the days when she was all-powerful. She did whatever she wanted in the entire star field and made countless enemies. In the end, her entire clan was sealed. Over the countless years, her temperament seemed to have changed a lot.
The voice from before was silent for a while before saying, "Mother, these two humans are only in the Origin Martial Realm. They are very weak. Nothing will happen if we kill them."
The woman's voice rang out again. She said, "I naturally know that they are weak, but that man's sword will is very strange. His Qi shakes the wind and clouds, and his sharpness can break through tens of thousands of spells. However, it does not have a physical body, but rather countless sword spirits. This reminds me of that person in that great battle."
"Sword souls!"
The voice from before was shocked and cried out, "Could it be …"
The woman's voice was very calm. She said carefully, "It should be. Back then, for this page of the Heaven God Technique, I led everyone to fight against the Desolate Race and destroyed the entire Virtual Sky Domain. In the end, we were sealed by the Desolate Master's great divine power. But we did not expect that the human would take advantage of it. It seems that after the war, the Desolate Race might have been crippled. That was why the page of the Heaven God Technique was leaked. "
The voice from before trembled. "If this person really cultivated the fifth page of the Heaven God Technique, Taixuan Sword Scripture, how could he be so weak?"
The woman seemed to be thinking. After a while, she slowly said, "Although the human race is unremarkable among the hundred races, they are very intelligent. He didn't know where they had obtained this wonderful cultivation method, but it was called Refining Energy and Condensing Soul. It could transform one's supernatural martial intent into a martial soul, and then use that martial soul to communicate with the heavens and earth to cultivate. As for the Taixuan Sword Technique, it's also related to the soul. It's most likely that it's been integrated into that person's bloodline and passed down as a Martial Spirit. "
The voice from before was overjoyed. "What a coincidence! This is clearly the will of the heavens. Although we were defeated back then, the heavens still sent the Taixuan Sword Technique to us. As long as we track that young man, we can find the Taixuan Sword Scripture! "
The woman sighed and replied, "Perhaps."
The things that the entire race had risked their lives to fight for all those years ago were now completely tasteless. For the sake of a Deity Technique, was it worth it to seal an entire clan for countless years?
Of course it wasn't worth it. So what if she obtained the Heavenly Deity Arts now? Could she make up for the millions of years of her clan?
The woman sighed again and said faintly, "Pass down the order. Tell everyone that I'm back."
"Yes," the voice from before replied hurriedly. His tone was very excited.
Behind the underground river, not far from the strange thing full of thorns, there was a dark and open depression. A huge broodmother's nest was sitting on top of it. Because of the low terrain, it was very difficult to find.
The broodmother's nest looked like the head of a giant beast, but it had been skinned and its bones were filed. It was full of potholes, and its dark green insides were dripping with blood. It looked very ferocious. It seemed to have a life of its own. From inside to outside, it was beating like a heart. The hideous entrance was like the mouth of some kind of insect, breathing in and out.
Around the broodmother's nest, there were countless large and small buildings. They were all like nests, but their shapes were different, and they looked very irregular.
In this area, there were countless insects of all shapes and sizes flying around. Most of them looked strange and ferocious, but there were very few colorful and exquisite insects.
Suddenly, the broodmother's nest throbbed violently. The mouth of a giant insect slowly opened, and an invisible pressure spread out in all directions.
All the flying insects sensed it and stopped, landing on the ground or buildings, as if they were kneeling. At a glance, they were densely packed.
The one who came out of the broodmother's nest was actually a peerless beauty, accompanied by a handsome man. Just like the insects, he also knelt down.
The woman's facial features were exquisite, her skin white as snow, and her dark green eyes added a touch of evil beauty. Her bare skin was painted with green totems, making her look very wild.
When she appeared, all the insects flapped their wings madly, letting out shrill cries, but none of them flew up.
The insects' cries were like the croaking of frogs, echoing in the valley like rolling thunder.
…
Half a month later, in the sky above a desert, a large amount of dazzling light suddenly appeared. It was as strong as colored glass, and a huge roar came from it, shaking the world and sending sand and stones flying.
After the strong light dissipated, the chaotic air gradually settled down, revealing the figures of Yang Qingxuan and Zi Yuan.
"Great, we're finally out!"
Zi Yuan was ecstatic, as if he had just survived a disaster. He was as excited as a little bird, jumping in the air.
Yang Qingxuan also heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and looked at the sun in the sky, in a very good mood.
After the two left the valley, they couldn't find the exit. Limited by Yang Qingxuan's strength, even if he successfully activated his Fiery Eyes, he could only see a few miles away. He couldn't see the entire underground space.
Fortunately, there weren't any strong ferocious beasts, only a variety of insects. Occasionally, they would encounter them. Those insects would attack, but they weren't strong, so they were easily dealt with.
On a flat area, they encountered something floating in the air. It was soft like a lump of strange meat, and it spat out a large group of suicidal insects that charged at the two of them to self-destruct. Furthermore, that floating thing also had an extremely powerful offensive barrier, causing the two of them to be in a panic. In the end, they managed to destroy that thing without any mishap.
After that thing died, its originally soft body became stiff like a rock.
Yang Qingxuan thought for a while, then put it into his Star Ring.
The Crimson Archaeoscorpion was lying in the Star Ring, motionless. Only the green light in his eyes flickered, as if he was quietly watching everything.
The two of them also found seven corpses in the underground space. They were all people who were on the same mission. Their bodies were full of holes made by the insects, and their internal organs had been eaten clean.
Zi Yuan was disgusted for a long time and almost vomited. Yang Qingxuan was expressionless. He took all the items from the seven corpses, then burned them with fire, as if he had done his duty as a comrade.
Finally, after half a month, they found an ancient teleportation array. Although it was corroded, it wasn't damaged. Under the three of them's consideration, they successfully activated the teleportation array and left the surface.
