"Let's go." Yu Yan released the restrictions on the cave residence, summoned his flying sword, and pulled Zhu Yao to his side.
"Are we returning to Advent Cloud Hall?" Zhu Yao casually asked.
Yu Yan turned to look at her. "Back to Lightning Divine Hall."
"Ah? But Goudan is still in Advent Cloud Hall. If I'm too far away from him, I'll turn back … Eh? "Zhu Yao realized that ever since her master helped her take her form, she had been maintaining her human form. "What's going on?"
Yu Yan stroked her head. "That female deity."
"You're talking about Tao Manfeng?" Zhu Yao widened her eyes. She suddenly recalled that she was bound to her as well, and she was currently in the dimensional space. "In that case, I don't have to be bound to Goudan in the future?"
"Mn."
There's even such a benefit. As expected, that little bitch was an unlucky child.
"Is it alright to leave Goudan and Mushroom in Advent Cloud Hall?" Zhu Yao was a little worried. "That person who barged into Lightning Divine Hall might still be in Advent Cloud Hall, if …"
"His target is us." Yu Yan frowned. "Those two are spiritual monsters in the first place, it's better for them to cultivate in Advent Cloud Hall."
"But Mushroom, he …"
"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan interrupted her words, and solemnly said. "He's not Wang Xuzhi."
"… …"
(
Zhu Yao sent a paper crane to Mushroom, telling him that she would return to the forest first, and then follow her master back to Lightning Divine Hall. This market wasn't very far from Lightning Divine Hall. With her master's flying speed, he would be able to return in at most an hour. However, before they could leave, an unforeseen event occurred.
Just as they flew up on their flying swords. Suddenly, the entire market shook. Deity practitioners flew out one after another, and in an instant, cracks began to appear on the ground. They were as wide as a narrow valley, and their bottomless depths could not be seen. Not even a moment later, the entire market was swallowed by that narrow valley. It was as though a hole had been sliced open on the ground.
"Master, this is …" Even they could feel the tremors in the air.
Yu Yan held onto Zhu Yao, and immediately pulled her in front of him. "Follow me." The tremors came very strangely. Even he did not sense it beforehand. Who was the one who created these cracks and narrow valleys?
More and more immortals appeared in the sky. Most of the people in the market were immortal cultivators who were cultivating in seclusion. The sudden shaking forced them to come out. There were even some who were injured by the backlash of the immortal Qi.
"What happened?"
"Where did this narrow valley come from?"
"An attack from a Yao Immortal?"
More and more people raised their questions. The air was in chaos. Suddenly, a figure flew out of the ravine that was still cracking. He seemed to be heavily injured. He couldn't even ride his sword steadily.
"It's Advent Cloud Hall's disciple." Someone recognized him and hurriedly went up to receive him, bringing that person over. He was covered in blood, and one of his arms was missing. From the looks of it, his primordial spirit was also heavily injured. The people here were at least Earthly Immortals. Even though the cracks in the ground were frightening, they could not hurt these Immortals. Most of them were injured by the backlash of their own immortal Qi, but none of them were as heavily injured as this one.
"What happened?" Everyone gathered around him. Clearly, he had encountered something.
"Heaven Gate … Heaven Gate." That person could no longer even speak clearly, as he said with a shocked expression. "The Lightning Spiritual Realm's Gate … collapsed …"
The moment these words came out, everyone sucked in a cold breath. The Heaven Gate was a path that people from the Lower Realm had to pass to ascend to the Higher Realm. If the Heaven Gate was destroyed, did that mean that the people of that world could no longer ascend?
"How is that possible?" Although the Heaven Gate was called a gate, it was not a physical object. What everyone could see was merely a ray of guidance. That ray of light did not extinguish for a long time, and it connected to a world. Only people who had gone through the Ascension Lightning Tribulation would appear in that ray of light.
"It's true!" That injured disciple said. "The ray of guidance from the Lightning Spiritual Realm suddenly disappeared."
The crowd turned silent, and their expressions varied. They faintly felt as though something big was about to happen.
"Master, what kind of place is the Lightning Spiritual Realm?" Zhu Yao turned around.
Yu Yan's expression was heavier than ever before. When he heard her words, he turned to look at her, and said. "The cultivation world is the Lightning Spiritual Realm."
"What?" Zhu Yao fiercely widened her eyes. "You're saying that what was destroyed earlier, was the Deity Ascension Path from the world we came from?"
Yu Yan nodded. As though he was about to say something, his expression suddenly turned cold. Carrying Zhu Yao, he flew on his sword and left the sky above the narrow valley they were standing on earlier.
White light suddenly emitted out from within the gigantic narrow valley, and it charged straight towards the sky. The moment the light appeared, a heavy pressure came rushing towards them, and it instantly scattered towards every corner of the Divine Realm. Some of the people who had stopped in the sky earlier did not manage to fly away in time, and were engulfed by the white light.
Zhu Yao carefully sensed it, and she could not believe her own eyes. "Master, it's spiritual pressure!" Those lights were actually spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. No, there were even lightning spirits, wind spirits, and other mutated spiritual energy mixed within. What was going on? This was clearly the Divine Realm, and there should only be divine energy here. Why was there spiritual energy here, and why was it so dense?
The white light came quickly, and disappeared quickly as well. In less than fifteen minutes, it grew fainter, and finally disappeared. And the people who did not manage to retreat in time in the sky earlier, once again revealed themselves.
"I … I've broken through." Suddenly, someone shouted out in shock, and it immediately received the response of quite a few people.
"I've broken through as well. That white light, allowed me to instantly rise by two levels."
"Me too."
"Me too!"
"Just what was that white light earlier?"
"That's right, it can actually directly raise one's cultivation?"
"Just where did it come from?"
Everyone exchanged glances, as they did not dare to believe their own eyes. Every single person who was enveloped by that white light actually had their cultivation raised.
Did no one realize that it was spiritual energy?
"Master!"
Yu Yan however shook his head at her. Only then did Zhu Yao realize that this matter was not suitable to be spoken of. The reason why she could tell that it was spiritual energy, was because she had an almost perverted affinity with spiritual energy. And for those who ascended to the Higher Realm, their Spirit Veins had long been washed away by the Lightning Tribulation. Naturally, no one could sense that it was spiritual energy. If she were to let everyone know that spiritual energy still had an effect on one's cultivation, and to such a great extent at that, most likely, they would form a group and descend to the Lower Realm.
"Mistress." Sesame suddenly crawled out from the spiritual beast pouch, and looked at the narrow valley which was emitting white light earlier with a confused look. "That white light earlier, had your aura."
What did he mean?
"That white light earlier seemed to have … you!"
"…"
"How is that possible?" Zhu Yao was dumbfounded. She clearly did not do anything. How could it possibly emit out such a white light?
"It's true." Sesame's ears drooped, and it grew even more confused. "I really felt it."
"…"
"Let's return first." Yu Yan's thick brows tightened. He immediately flew in the direction of the Lightning Divine Hall on his sword. He flew at an extremely fast speed. Even the surrounding sceneries were streaks of afterimages. The hand which he was holding onto Zhu Yao tightened as well, and his expression grew heavier as well.
"Master?" Zhu Yao could not help but feel a little anxious. She faintly sensed that he must have discovered something. After pondering for a moment, her heart sank. "Did that person discover us?" What could make his master so nervous? Aside from the person who barged into the Lightning Divine Hall. There couldn't be anyone else.
Yu Yan did not reply, and simply slowly pressed Zhu Yao against his chest, protecting her in front of him. Sticking close to her ears, he softly muttered. "Your master is here."
"…" Zhu Yao could only tightly grab onto his clothes. Her master had said that person's cultivation was above his, and if they were to fight, he did not have the confidence to win. Suddenly, she felt a little regretful that she did not work hard in her cultivation. Now, she had instead become a burden. "Master, why don't we …" In any case, she wouldn't die.
"Nonsense!" Knowing what she wanted to say, Yu Yan's voice instantly turned cold, and faintly carried suppressed anger. Habitually, he reached out his hand to stroke her head, and sighed. "Be obedient."
"But … Are we able to escape?"
Yu Yan was silent for a moment. "Believe in your master. We can definitely … "
"Is that so?" A cold voice resounded, and Yu Yan suddenly stopped.
Not far in front of them, a black figure was standing in midair. There was no sword beneath his feet, nor was there any mystic artifact. Just like that, he stood in midair. Dressed entirely in black, his hands were placed behind his back. Clearly, he did not emit any pressure, yet, she could feel that oppressive aura.
Lightly sweeping his gaze over, Zhu Yao once again felt that bone-piercing chill, as though even her heart was being frozen.
"Sovereign Yu Yan?" He spat out these four words, yet, his tone did not contain the slightest bit of emotion, as though these were completely meaningless words.
Yu Yan did not reply, and simply frowned. He stared at her for a moment, yet, she could sense a cautiousness that he had never shown before.
In an instant, he slowly released Zhu Yao who was in front of him.
"What are you trying to do?" Zhu Yao instantly panicked, as she reflexively grabbed onto his collar. "You want to chase me away?"
"Be obedient!" However, he simply reached out his hand and patted on her head.
"The hell!" Zhu Yao seemed to want to curse out. Did he have to display some great sentiment of sacrificing himself to save others at this moment? Since we can't beat him in a duel, we can gang up on him. "Don't even think about it. You're the one who should leave. After I die, I can still … "
Before she could even finish, Yu Yan suddenly tapped on her forehead. Zhu Yao simply felt the divine energy in her entire body dissipating, and she instantly turned back into a piece of jade.
"The hell!"
Yu Yan forcefully threw her backwards, and solemnly said. "Sesame."
Sesame leaped out of the spiritual beast sack, and caught Zhu Yao who was thrown out by Yu Yan in its mouth.
"Sesame, let go of me!"
However, as though Sesame could not hear her words, it continued to fly in the direction of the Lightning Divine Hall. As for that black-clothed man, it was as though he could not see them at all, as he stood on the spot without moving.
"Sesame!" Are you rebelling? Since when did you listen to master's words this much?
Zhu Yao's heart burned with anxiety, yet, she was getting further and further away. When she turned to look, she could only see two figures facing each other within the sky filled with lightning sparks.
"Master!"
Suddenly, the black figure who had been treating her as though she was nothing moved, as he turned to look in the direction Zhu Yao left.
In an instant, Zhu Yao simply felt an immense pressure rushing towards her divine sense. She felt as though her entire body was about to be torn apart by that pressure, and her entire divine sense was in incomparable pain. Even her jade-like body was beginning to shatter.
