Fang Zhengzhi was also looking at the sky.
He felt that when this stream of light exploded, it might be more like a brilliant firework. However, there were no petals scattering in all directions. There was only a kind of ripple-like light curtain.
It was a silver light that shone like the moon. It descended from the sky and covered the ground.
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Cang Ling Mountain. Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan, and Ping Yang were within it.
Then, the space around them shook and the ground cracked. Black cracks appeared in the sky, almost as if the entire world was collapsing.
This feeling was familiar.
Fang Zhengzhi had experienced this in the World of the Sage. At that time, the World of the Sage had collapsed and he had entered the sea of swords.
But this time...
The entire Cang Ling Mountain was collapsing.
"What's going on?" Fang Zhengzhi did not understand.
The collapse of the World of the Sage was understandable. After all, it was a pocket dimension. However, the Cang Ling Mountain was a real world. Why would it collapse?
Was the world ending?
Questions flashed through Fang Zhengzhi's mind.
Chi Guyan's expression became more and more serious. Her bright eyes flickered with radiance and the aura on her body became sharp again.
However, she did not move. Instead, she waited quietly.
Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi had experienced the same thing in the World of the Sage. However, the scene in front of her still shocked her. She did not understand what was happening either.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
The black cracks in the sky slowly disappeared. Or rather, they were healing rapidly. Everything returned to normal. The moon and stars continued to shine on the ground.
The ancient trees towered into the sky, and the fog was thick and heavy. It was as if nothing had happened from beginning to end.
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely confused. He looked at his surroundings, the trees, the grass... There was no change in the sky...
This seemed like a good outcome. It meant that the crisis was over. However... For some reason, he felt that something was amiss.
What had just happened? Did it just disappear like that?
If that was the case, then wouldn't it be too boring?
It was a classic case of loud thunder but small raindrops...
"Sister Yan … what's going on?" Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan with her clear eyes.
"If I'm not wrong, we should be trapped!" Chi Guyan looked around. His brows furrowed slightly as if he was thinking about something.
"Trouble? But we didn't step on any traps. How did we suddenly get trapped? " Ping Yang could not understand. There was one thing she did not say. That was, the scene just now was very similar to the scene in the World of the Sage.
But this was Cang Ling Mountain, a part of the real world.
It did not make sense for such a scene to occur.
Fang Zhengzhi couldn't understand either, so he didn't interrupt her. He stood quietly at the side and listened in.
"If the entire Cang Ling Mountain is a trap, then from the moment we stepped into Cang Ling Mountain, we have already stepped into a trap." Chi Guyan looked up at the sky which had returned to normal.
"The entire Cang Ling Mountain? How is that possible? Cang Ling Mountain has almost ten thousand years of history. I have never heard of Cang Ling Mountain being a trap. Furthermore, to turn the entire Cang Ling Mountain into a trap … "Ping Yang was still in disbelief.
"It's impossible, right?"
"Yes." Ping Yang nodded.
"Normally, no one would be able to do it. Cang Ling Mountain is too big. There is no one in this world who could do it. They have the ability to move the entire Cang Ling Mountain into their pocket dimension. However … everything that just happened means that we have entered a whole new world! "Chi Guyan explained.
"A whole new world … Sister Yan, are you trying to say that someone moved the entire Cang Ling Mountain to another … space?" Ping Yang hesitated at the last part of her sentence.
"Mm." Chi Guyan nodded.
"But didn't Sister Yan just say that? That no one can do it? "
"Indeed, no one can do it. However, there is a legendary treasure that can."
"What treasure?"
"The Vast World!"
"The Vast World?! What is The Vast World? "
"Something that was destroyed a few hundred years ago. Who would have thought that it would reappear."
"Destroyed?"
"Yes. Logically speaking, it should not exist. However. Other than The Vast World, there is nothing else in this world that can turn the entire Cang Ling Mountain into a giant trap. "
"What does The Vast World do?" Ping Yang asked curiously.
"The Vast World is one of the nine legendary godly weapons. However, the Vast World is different from the other godly weapons. It is not like the other godly weapons that can instantly change the tide of battle. Even on the battlefield, the Vast World is not very useful. Furthermore, the requirements to use the Vast World are very strict. However, it is still listed as one of the nine godly weapons. The reason is because … it can turn the entire ocean into a grain of sand!"
Chi Guyan paused for a moment.
"A grain of sand in the ocean?" Fang Zhengzhi knew what this meant.
This idiom came from Su Shi's "Ode to the Red Cliff". "A mayfly in the sky, a grain of sand in the vast ocean". It was a grain of sand in the ocean, and it was insignificant.
However, what did this have to do with the current situation?
Could it be...
Suddenly, Fang Zhengzhi thought of something.
The entire Cang Ling Mountain was a trap, turning the entire ocean into a grain of sand.
"Sister Yan, are you saying that someone is using The Vast World to turn the entire Cang Ling Mountain into a grain of sand?" When Ping Yang heard this, she seemed to understand what was going on. Her clear eyes flashed with disbelief.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. If it was really just to put Cang Ling Mountain into The Vast World, then it would not be listed as one of the nine Magical Weapons."
"What else is there?"
"I don't know either. There are not many descriptions of The Vast World in the books. However, there is one sentence that explains the power of The Vast World."
"What sentence?"
"Anyone who enters The Vast World will die!" At this point, Chi Guyan did not say anything else. However, her bright eyes revealed a complicated expression.
There seemed to be a sense of loss and sadness, but these negative emotions were mixed with persistence and a faint sense of excitement.
Nobody knew what Chi Guyan was thinking about at this moment.
However, Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts were simple.
"It's over, I'm trapped... if I don't get back to the Northern Mountain Village before daybreak, what if the soldiers there return..."
