"Are you certain that there's a Monarch Spirit Grass in there?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
The spatial rift before them was far more terrifying than any he had seen before. Under the violent storm, all matter would be destroyed, releasing a rainbow-colored glow that resembled an aurora.
Even Conferred God Kings would not be able to enter such a place, let alone the Monarch Spirit Grass. Was it really possible for it to survive?
"I'm certain." Ao Feng nodded. "The Flood of Spiritual Energy has occurred four times, and I've been here four times as well. Even though I didn't manage to obtain anything too formidable, I didn't slack off either. I'm very familiar with the terrain here, and that's why I was able to lead my men to search for the Condensed Earth Essence."
Zhang Xuan nodded.
He had been wondering why Ao Feng was able to confirm that the Condensed Earth Essence was in the depths of the mountain stream despite the presence of so many phantasmagoric spirits. As it turned out, he had been here several times before, but he had not been able to obtain it due to his lack of strength.
"The spatial rift wasn't as severe as it is now, and I could still see through the spatial rift from time to time. However, it seems like it's a little unstable now."
Ao Feng frowned.
"Unstable?"
"This spatial rift wasn't as large or as violent as it was in the past. Even I was able to enter it once, but I was unable to obtain the Monarch Spirit Grass. I didn't think that it would change so much in just ten years!"
Ao Feng explained.
"Un."
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had not been here ten years ago, so he did not know the exact situation.
However, given the current state of the spatial rift, it would be difficult for him to enter.
Zhang Xuan turned to the young lady beside him and asked, "Is it possible for you to stabilize the spatial rift?"
Even with the improvement of his soul cultivation, it would still be difficult for him to force his way through the chaotic spatial rift. The only solution he could think of was to borrow the young lady's hand.
The Dimension Silencer was able to stabilize the spatial rift, so it should be possible for her to do so.
"It's possible, but … it won't last for too long," Luo Qiqi replied.
"How long will it take?"
"Twenty breaths at most," Luo Qiqi replied.
"That's enough."
Zhang Xuan smiled. "I'll try my best to bring the Monarch Spirit Grass out within twenty breaths."
"Alright!" Luo Qiqi nodded. She couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense. She leaped up and arrived in front of the spatial crack. With a light shake, she transformed into a round bead.
Weng!
With a dull thud, the turbulent spatial crack immediately stabilized. The seven-colored light also seemed to be frozen in the air, not moving at all.
"This …"
Ao Feng blinked. He was so scared that he almost vomited blood.
All this while, he had thought that the young lady was just an ordinary God King, so there was no need for him to worry about her. Most likely, she was just following behind the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies, but who could have thought that she would be so powerful right from the start?
Even as a Conferred God King, he was unable to do such a thing. In other words …
In a head-on battle, even if the other party was only an ordinary God King, he would definitely not be a match for them!
As expected of a Conferred God King! Even the people around him were no pushovers!
Whoosh!
Seeing that Luo Qiqi had frozen the space around them, Zhang Xuan charged straight into the rift.
Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed like lightning as the seven-colored light stopped in front of him.
This fissure was right above the continent. Originally, it was just a dangerous place. Now, it seemed like it was going to tear the entire continent apart.
"No, it's still that power …"
After flying in for a moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly frowned.
There was a powerful surge of energy in the depths of the rift that seemed to be accelerating the formation of the rift. This surge of energy was identical to the one in the depths of Spirit Origin City.
Shielding his body with his Pathos of Heaven, Zhang Xuan came to a halt.
Not too far away, he saw three stalks of Monarch Spirit Grass floating amidst the pitch-black rift. They looked as if they would be swallowed by the darkness at any moment.
As the spatial cracks drifted over, they were devoured by the Monarch Spirit Grass, causing its leaves to grow even more alluring.
"Legend has it that the Monarch Spirit Grass survives by absorbing spatial cracks, and it's said that it harnesses powerful spatial energy. It seems like it's true …"
Zhang Xuan remarked grimly.
The Monarch Spirit Grass did not survive by devouring spiritual energy. Instead, it was a special kind of herb that lived in the spatial cracks.
"It feels like someone planted the Monarch Spirit Grass here to stabilize the spatial crack …"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before frowning deeply.
The spatial crack was created by the unique energy that could neutralize Heaven's Path zhenqi. Under normal circumstances, it would only grow larger and larger, and it would not take long for it to tear the entire Flooding Sea into two.
However, while the three stalks of Monarch Spirit Grass seemed to be absorbing the spatial cracks to grow, in truth, their roots were forcefully pulling the spatial cracks together and absorbing the spatial cracks. It was as if they were cleaning up mud in a river, thus reducing the size of the spatial crack.
If the Monarch Spirit Grass had been planted by accident, how could it be so coincidental?
However, if someone had planted it intentionally to prevent the God Monarchs from entering the Flooding Sea, even ordinary Conferred God Kings would not have been able to do so!
Geji! Geji!
While Zhang Xuan was still deep in thought, a dull creaking sound echoed from the spatial crack. It seemed like Luo Qiqi was on the verge of collapsing.
"I can't afford to waste any more time …"
Zhang Xuan's face turned grim.
Luo Qiqi could only last for twenty breaths at most. More than half of the time had passed since they entered, so he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
His goal in entering the Flooding Sea was to take the three stalks of Monarch Spirit Grass away, but upon seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that they were controlling the spatial crack to prevent it from growing larger.
Once they were taken away, the spatial crack would surely tear the entire Flooding Sea apart. It was one thing for it to tear the entire continent apart, but it could very well cause a huge gaping hole in the Flooding Sea. In fact, the Firmament might even be in danger!
On the other hand, if he did not take the Monarch Spirit Grass away, it would not be able to last much longer. Most likely, it would only take a month or two for the spatial crack to widen, causing the entire Flooding Sea to collapse.
"It's possible that this is the final Flood of Spiritual Energy!"
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
Previously, when he heard that the Flood of Spiritual Energy would occur once every ten years, he thought that it would continue to happen, providing the Firmament with more resources and allowing more people to grow stronger.
However, from the looks of it, things were not as simple as he thought.
There was a limit to the amount of spiritual energy in the Flooding Sea, and it was not as stable as he had thought. If it were to be destroyed, not only would the Flood of Spiritual Energy disappear, the Firmament would also suffer heavy casualties.
"It's no wonder Lozosy and Kong Shi had to compete for the Heavenly Will …"
He had thought that as long as he did not make a breakthrough to become a God Monarch, there would be no need for him to compete for the Heavenly Will.
But now that he thought about it, he realized that he had been too shallow.
The workings of the heavens would not stop just because of his petty tricks. If he did not make a breakthrough to become a God Monarch, the Flooding Sea would be torn apart, and the Firmament would be in great danger.
If things went wrong, he might even lose his life!
In other words, regardless of whether he competed for the Heavenly Will or not, he would not be able to live in peace. If he did not compete for the Heavenly Will, he might die even faster.
