"Are you certain that the Monarch Spirit Grass is inside?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
The spatial rift before him was far more fearsome than the ones he had seen before. Under the powerful storm, the spatial rift was constantly being torn apart, releasing a colorful glow reminiscent of an aurora.
Even Conferred God Kings would not be able to enter such a place, and the Monarch Spirit Grass was just a medicinal herb.
"I'm certain!" Ao Feng nodded. "The Flood of Spiritual Energy has occurred four times in total, and I have been here four times as well. Even though I didn't manage to obtain any particularly powerful treasures, I didn't slack off either. It's because of this that I was able to lead my men to the Condensed Earth Essence instead of scouting the area first!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
He had been wondering how Ao Feng was able to determine that the Condensed Earth Essence was located in the depths of the mountain stream despite the many phantasmagoric spirits guarding the area. It turned out that Ao Feng had already been here several times before, but he had been unable to obtain it due to his lack of strength.
"The previous few times I came here, the spatial rift wasn't as powerful as it is now. From time to time, I would still be able to peer through the shattered space to see what's inside.
Ao Feng frowned.
"Unstable?"
"This spatial rift wasn't this huge before, and it wasn't as violent as it used to be. Even I have entered it before, but I was unable to obtain the Monarch Spirit Grass. I didn't think that it would have changed so much in the ten years I have been gone!"
Ao Feng explained.
"Un."
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had not been here ten years ago, so he had no idea what was going on.
However, given the current state of the spatial rift, even he would not be able to enter it easily.
Zhang Xuan turned to Luo Ruoxin and asked, "Can you stabilize the spatial rift?"
Even though his soul cultivation had improved significantly, it would still be difficult for him to force his way through the spatial rift. The only way he could think of was to make use of Luo Ruoxin's hands.
The Dimension Silencer was able to stabilize the spatial rift, so it should be able to do the same.
Luo Qiqi glanced at the spatial rift and replied, "I can, but I won't be able to maintain it for too long."
"Roughly how long?"
"Twenty breaths at the very most," Luo Qiqi replied.
"That's more than enough!"
"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 waste her breath. She leaped forward and arrived in front of the spatial rift. With a light shake, she transformed into a round bead.
Buzz!
With a muffled sound, the turbulent space crack immediately stabilized. The seven-colored light also seemed to freeze in the air, motionless.
"This …"
Ao Feng blinked his eyes and almost vomited blood.
He had thought that the young lady was just an ordinary God King, so there was no need for him to worry about her. He thought that she was just following behind the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies to gain experience, but who could have thought that she would be so powerful?
Even as a Conferred God King, he was still incapable of such a feat. In other words …
In a head-on battle, even if the other party was just an ordinary God King, he would definitely not be a match for him!
As expected of a Conferred God King! Even the people around him were no pushovers!
Hu!
Seeing that Luo Qiqi had frozen the space, Zhang Xuan rushed straight towards the crack.
The colorful light streaked across his eyes. Zhang Xuan's gaze was like lightning as he looked around.
This fissure was right above the continent. Originally, it was just a dangerous place, but now it seemed like it was going to tear the entire continent apart.
"No, it's still that power …"
After flying for a while, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows suddenly shot up.
He could sense an immense power in the depths of the fissure, and it seemed to be intensifying the formation of the fissure. This power was identical to the one in the depths of the mountain stream and the abyss in Spirit Origin City.
Zhang Xuan used his Pathos of Heaven zhenqi to protect his body before coming to a halt.
Not too far away, he saw three stalks of Monarch Spirit Grass floating in the darkness, as if they would be devoured by the darkness at any moment.
The Monarch Spirit Grass was devouring the shattered space in the area, causing its leaves to become even more alluring.
"Legend has it that the Monarch Spirit Grass lives by absorbing spatial rifts. It seems like the rumors are true …"
Zhang Xuan remarked grimly.
The Monarch Spirit Grass did not live by devouring spiritual energy. Rather, it was a unique medicinal herb that lived within space, and it lived by devouring shattered space.
"It feels like someone intentionally planted these Monarch Spirit Grass here to stabilize the fissure …"
A moment later, Zhang Xuan frowned.
This rift was formed by the unique energy that was able to neutralize the Heaven's Path zhenqi, and it continued to tear outward. Under normal circumstances, it would only grow larger and larger, and it would not be long before it tore the entire Flooding Sea apart.
However, while the three stalks of Monarch Spirit Grass seemed to be growing by absorbing the shattered space, the truth was that they were using their roots to hold the shattered space together and absorb the shattered space. It was similar to cleaning up the silt in a river, thus reducing the size of the fissure.
If the Monarch Spirit Grass had grown by accident, how could there be such a coincidence?
But if someone had intentionally planted it so that even God Monarchs of the Flooding Sea would not be able to enter the Flooding Sea, not even Conferred God Kings would be able to do so!
Geji! Geji!
While Zhang Xuan was still deep in thought, the fissure suddenly creaked. It seemed like Luo Qiqi was reaching her limit.
"I can't afford to waste any more time …"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Luo Qiqi was only able to hold on for twenty breaths. More than half of the time had passed since he entered the Flooding Sea, 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 with him, but only after seeing them with his own eyes did he realize that they were controlling the fissure so that it wouldn't grow any larger.
If it were to be taken away, the spatial rift would surely sweep across the entire Flooding Sea. It might not be a big deal if it were to slice the Master Teacher Continent apart, but it could very well tear the entire Flooding Sea apart. In fact, even the Firmament might be in danger!
If he were to take the Monarch Spirit Grass away, it seemed like the Monarch Spirit Grass wouldn't be able to hold on for too long either. At the very most, it would only take a month or two for the spatial fissure to widen, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire Flooding Sea.
This might very well be 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 decade, he had thought that it would continue on for a very long time, providing more resources for the Firmament to grow stronger.
But from the looks of it now, things weren't as simple as he thought.
There was a limit to the amount of spiritual energy, and the Flooding Sea wasn't as stable as he had thought it to be. If it were to be destroyed, not only would the Flood of Spiritual Energy vanish, the Firmament would also suffer heavy casualties.
It's no wonder Lozosy and Kong Shi are so desperate to vie for the heavens' will …
He had thought that as long as he didn't achieve a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm, there would be no need for him to vie for the heavens' will.
But now that he thought about it, he realized that he had been too naive.
The heavens wouldn't stop just because of one's petty tricks. If he didn't achieve a breakthrough, the Flooding Sea would be torn apart, and the Firmament would be plunged into chaos. As the representative of the heavens, he would be in grave danger!
In the worst-case scenario, he might even lose his life!
In other words, he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life regardless of whether he fought for the heavens' will or not. If he didn't fight for it, he might just die faster.
