Breaking through another world wasn't a small matter. Elder Quan explained the most important things to the disciples and asked them to memorize them. After that, he distributed the defensive treasures, Qi Replenishing Pills, array flags, flying boats, and other items that might be useful in this mission.
Because this trip was coordinated by the sect, these things were borne by the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake. The Mountain and Sea Realm was rich in resources, and they had as many of these things as they wanted. However, whether they traded them or gave them to their fellow sect members had nothing to do with the sect. Their lives were their own. If they didn't care about it, then others wouldn't care either.
The disciples were all delighted. Although they hadn't officially gone to the Unknown World, and they didn't know if they would be able to make a contribution, just these things alone were enough to make them worth it.
Elder Quan said a few more words and finished explaining everything that needed to be explained. Then, he waved his sleeve and a ray of spiritual light descended from the sky. Immediately after, a jade ball that was surrounded by golden and copper threads appeared. It was as big as a mountain and was suspended in mid-air. There were magnificent clouds around it as a backdrop. Indistinctly, scenes of the world beyond the heavens emerged from it.
He said, "This item is called the Myriad Realms Instrument of Chaos, and it was given to me by the patriarch. You will borrow its power to escape to the Unknown World." He looked down. "Make some preparations. You will need to be here by the next day. When the time comes, you will be transported to the other side."
A disciple shouted, "Can you go now?"
Elder Quan looked toward the voice and asked, "What's your name?"
That disciple wasn't afraid, and said loudly, "Disciple Hao Wentong."
Elder Quan nodded, and said to a disciple beside him, "Give disciple Hao Wentong a merit, and reward him when we return."
Hao Wentong was overjoyed, and he bowed, "Thank you, Elder."
Elder Quan stroked his beard, "No need to thank me. The sect will reward those who go first."
Yue Shenlu was standing with Wu Shangqiu, and he said, "Brother Wu, it's better to go early. You can still get a merit."
Wu Shangqiu thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Yue is right."
Yue Shenlu asked, "Brother Wu, do you have anything to tell me?"
Wu Shangqiu shook his head and said, "There are brothers to take care of the family, there is nothing to worry about."
Yue Shenlu cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish Brother Wu a pleasant journey. When you return, the two of us will drink and chat merrily."
Wu Shangqiu solemnly raised his hand and bowed before walking towards the Muddy Myriad World Instrument.
Originally, he was still slightly uneasy about going to the Unknown World, but when he saw his fellow disciples walking in with excitement, he seemed to be infected and calmed down slightly. He thought to himself, I am a disciple of Zhao You, of the Xuanyuan lineage, under the Dao Ancestor. What is there to be afraid of!
After taking a deep breath, he took a step into the magnificent clouds. In an instant, he felt his body being wrapped by an incomparably dazzling light, as if he had melted into it. After that, he was in a trance, and all his senses faded. It was as if he had returned to his mother's womb. After what seemed to be an extremely long period of time, he suddenly woke up.
But at this moment, he felt a turbulent heat wave, and there was a faint burning sensation on his skin. When he opened his eyes to take a look, his expression could not help but stiffen.
He found that he was standing at the edge of a huge pit of Earth Fire at this moment. Thick smoke billowed around him, covering the sky and the sun. He could not even see the sky and the earth clearly. Below the pit of fire, the lava was tumbling and constantly surging upwards, as if there was a force about to rush out.
It was not fixed where one would land after passing through the void. However, cultivators of the upper realm would naturally not be bothered by such trivial matters. After all, they had the ability to collapse mountains and destroy the land, and destroy the world. What was a mere Earth Fire to them?
But this was not a good thing for Wu Shangqiu. He hurriedly made a gesture, and a flying boat was summoned. He immediately leaped onto it, and with a shake of the talisman, he steered the boat to fly in the air, trying to break out.
However, he was still a step too late. There was a loud rumble, and a shocking wave of air, along with scorching smoke and countless stones, rushed into the sky. The flying boat was thrown into the air and flipped over.
Wu Shangqiu's face was full of sweat, and he desperately poured mana into the flying boat in an attempt to stabilize it. But at this moment, there were still countless flying stones and lava hitting the body of the boat. Although there was a restrictive formation outside, it still needed mana to maintain it. He was now an Qi Refinement cultivator, so he could not withstand too much torment. With great difficulty, he maintained the restrictive formation and rushed out of the range of the pit of fire. In the end, he managed to break out before his inner Qi was exhausted.
But at this moment, he could no longer control the flying boat. Seeing that he was falling towards the ground, he could not care about anything else. With trembling hands, he took out an Qi Replenishing Pill and was about to swallow it. Just Now, when he did that, he felt his body violently jolt, as if he had hit something again. The pill flew out of his hand, and then he felt the world spin around him. After a tremble, his vision went black, and he fell into a coma.
Before he woke up, he faintly sensed that someone seemed to have carried him out of the flying boat. However, his strength was gone, and he was injured, so he quickly lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he felt that the light in front of him was slightly dazzling. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a dense mist flashing in his eyes. He immediately adapted to it and then slowly sat up.
First, he raised his arm and looked at himself. He saw that he was wearing a short shirt that seemed to be woven from linen, and the lower part of his body was simply a long piece of cloth. What he was sitting on was not a bed, but several layers of cushions that seemed to be woven from reeds and the like.
Then, he looked around. This place was a loft built from bamboo and wood. Because there were windows on both sides of the roof, it was bright. There were urns and other things in the corner, and a few steps in front of him was a polished curved branch rack. The clothes he changed out of were placed there, and they seemed to have been washed.
He stood up and changed his original clothes. Then, he touched his Qiankun Sleeve Pouch and found that the Escaping Realm Pearl was still inside. He couldn't help but sigh in relief.
As long as this item was still there, he would not be cut off from the sect.
Previously, in order to escape from the fire, he did not care about anything else. At this moment, he tried to breathe in and out a few times, and found that the spiritual vigor here was very normal. This meant that even if there were cultivators here, the top level of achievement would not be very high, and the possibility of worship was relatively small.
This was because worship would usually only be done in the realm with strong spiritual vigor. The weaker the spiritual vigor, the weaker the senses, the more worthless it was.
This was not to say that worship did not exist in places with weak spiritual vigor, but since there were countless worlds in Busu Heaven, there were many good places to choose from, so why would they choose such a place?
Thinking about this, he relaxed. After adjusting his breath for a while, his spirit recovered a little, and he walked to the side of the window. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind, and it was very warm.
Outside the window was a lake, with lotus leaves scattered in all directions. The surface of the lake was clear and crystalline, and golden light flickered. There were many fish jumping in the water, and he saw about ten red lacquer boats, each big enough for one person to sit on, drifting among the lotus flowers. On the boats sat several graceful figures, singing and picking something, and from time to time the sound of laughter could be heard.
Wu Shangqiu examined his five yin organs, and based on the flow of time in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he could tell that only about three or four days had passed. Logically speaking, a place with a mouth of fire like that shouldn't have been surrounded by rivers and lakes. Furthermore, if the power of good fortune had been unleashed, the surrounding area wouldn't have been as peaceful as it was now. However, this was another world, after all, and there was no telling what strange changes might have occurred.
Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of deliberately soft footsteps coming from below. Then, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a slender and pretty girl walked in with a wooden basin. She had a thick braid tied around her head, and she was also dressed in linen clothes. Her skin was slightly dark, and her face was ruddy after working. Her forehead was dripping with sweat. When she saw that he had woken up, she revealed a look of surprise and said a few words that he did not understand.
Wu Shangqiu said nothing.
Seeing that he did not respond, the young woman thought for a moment, then put the basin down. She went to the corner of the room and came back with an earthenware jar. After removing the lid, she knelt down on one knee and handed it to him.
When Wu Shangqiu saw that it was some sort of white paste, with a wooden spoon sticking out of it, he knew that it was food. After a moment's thought, he accepted it and took a bite. Immediately, he felt a cool sensation spread through his lungs, which was actually quite comfortable. He immediately realized that this thing could wash away the smoke from his lungs. Normally, he would have needed to circulate some energy to expel it, but now that he had this, he didn't have to. Without being urged, he ate it, mouthful by mouthful. Then he nodded to the young woman.
As he ate, the young girl stared at him without blinking. When she saw him looking at her, a blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and picked up the thick towel in the wooden basin. She rubbed it a few times and gently wiped Wu Shangqiu's face a few times. Then, she put away the clothes he had changed out of. With a flick of her braid, she lifted the wooden basin and left.
Seeing that she had left, Wu Shangqiu could not help but think. He had just arrived in this world, and it was not good to reveal too many different places. Moreover, he had fallen from the sky, and his injuries were not minor. He had not fully recovered yet, and it seemed that the young woman did not have any ill intentions towards him. In that case, he might as well stay here for a few days, observe the situation, and decide what to do next.
For the next two days, the young woman would come up to bring him water and food every day. However, other than the young woman, there was also a young man of about 17 or 18 years old living in the bamboo house. He should be the young woman's elder brother, and it was that person who carried him here that day.
In the past two days, Wu Shangqiu had learned the general language of this place. In reality, if he had heard more, he would have learned it even faster.
At this moment, he heard a voice from downstairs, "Ah Ling, did that mister say anything?"
The young woman's crisp voice rang out, "No, the mister did not say anything."
"Ah Ling, where do you think the mister came from? To be able to come out of the Fiendish Land alive. "
"For the mister to be able to come out of the Fiendish Land and wear such beautiful clothes, I guess he must be a priest in the Golden Palace."
"Golden Palace priest?" The young man's voice was filled with joy, "If that's the case, we can ask him for help, and the evil spirits in our Bai Ling Dang will no longer be able to harm people."
Hearing this, Wu Shangqiu tensed up. The Fiendish Land, the Golden Palace priest, could it be related to that mighty person?
However, he also knew that as long as there were no cultivators in any Jie Kong, then there would be worshipers. The key was to see who the worshiper was, and it did not necessarily have to be the person he was looking for.
Deep down in his heart, he only wanted to safely complete the task given by the sect, but he really did not want to find out anything here. He sighed in his heart. Now that things had come to this, he could only take one step at a time.
