The misty abyss was where the Mystical Gourd Tree grew.
The Mystical Gourd Tree grew in the Mystical Gourd Boundary. Part of the tree emerged into the underground space of the Mystical Gourd Boundary. Most of it was buried and rooted in the underground abyss.
It was said that the Mystical Gourd Tree was still growing. One day, it would emerge from the Mystical Gourd Boundary and grow into the natural sky of the Crimson Firmament Continent.
It was unimaginable what kind of tree it was.
The Abyss of the Boundary
After entering the Abyss of the Boundary, they saw the astonishing trunk of the Mystical Gourd Tree. It was so huge that it pierced into the depths of the earth's core.
Some powerhouses sensed the demonic aura and demonic aura.
In the abyss that was hundreds of meters deep, Xue Qing told everyone not to continue flying to the earth's core. Below was the place where the spiritual water of the Boundary was born, and around it was an incomparably large underground space. In the space, they saw the countless huge roots of the Mystical Gourd Tree. It was like an octopus hunting prey, the roots penetrating into the surrounding rocks.
On some tree trunks and roots, one could see many tree holes or stone caves that were either natural or man-made.
These were the entrances that countless cultivators had dug into the Mystical Gourd Tree's body or stone walls in search of the Mystical Gourd Tree tens of thousands of years ago. The Mystical Gourd Tree was very magical. The gourds that grew were not at the top, but at the roots of the tree.
The disciples lay dormant for a while, and there was no movement. Xue Qing finally ordered the more than 100 disciples of the seven grotto-heavens to start moving.
Su Fang, along with Qian Huanyun and more than 20 Immortal and Indestructible disciples from Frozen Moon Grotto-Heaven, chose to enter a large root of the Mystical Gourd Tree.
The most powerful Indestructible disciples from Frozen Moon Grotto-Heaven were Cheng Lang and two other powerhouses. Their cultivations were between Indestructible Stage Eight and Stage Ten, and there were a few ordinary Indestructible disciples.
After entering the root, it was actually a space filled with countless vine leaves and astonishing spiritual energy. It was said that once a Mystical Gourd was born, heaven and earth would shake, and the Mystical Gourd would grow from these vine leaves. There were so many spaces, and the number of Mystical Gourds that were born was small, so strength alone was not enough. One also needed luck.
Maybe a Heaven Integration cultivator came to a space and happened to encounter a Mystical Gourd growing here.
However, could a Heaven Integration cultivator bring a Mystical Gourd out with him? Of course, he could not. before he left, he would be killed by powerhouses.
In order to obtain the Spirit Gourd, both strength and opportunity were indispensable.
The vine leaf space was also very large. It seemed that the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree was no longer a simple tree.
After a while, the Immortal Disciples of the Frozen Moon Cave Heaven asked everyone to move separately. With this space as the center, they would infiltrate the surrounding small spaces to search. In this way, once the spiritual gourd appeared, the possibility of bumping into it would increase.
Su Fang, Qian Huanyun, and the other two formed a small team and entered another tree root space.
Most of the roots of the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree had holes dug out by cultivators. It seemed like there were still people coming here to absorb the spirit liquid of the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree.
"He's only at Longevity Stage 1. Won't he be a burden to us?"
Su Fang walked at the back of the five-man team. There was actually an Undying Disciple in front of him who looked down on Su Fang. His intention was clear; he wanted Su Fang to leave.
Qian Huanyun said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother Fang is currently ranked second on the Mortal Ranking. Since the Sect Master has taken a liking to him, his cultivation will also skyrocket."
"But he's only at Longevity Stage 1. He can help us get the spiritual gourd." That disciple did not want Su Fang to be a burden.
However, Qian Huanyun protected Su Fang. It seemed that female cultivators were more like fellow disciples than male cultivators. "Fang Yue, follow closely."
Little did he know that Su Fang was eager to move alone. In his eyes, the disciples here were instead a burden to him. He also sensed that the devil slave Luan Mo was nearby, so he could secretly contact him.
However, Qian Huanyun wanted to protect Su Fang, so Su Fang decided to wait for Luan Mo to get closer before leaving the team.
"Keke, humans, you actually came to my territory."
A hoarse laugh suddenly came from the lush vine leaves in front of Su Fang. "Immortal Sealing Sect's cultivators, haha, those cultivators must be well-nourished."
"Tree Demon!"
Su Fang could not sense any devilish Qi from the voice, but the monstrous Qi in this space was astonishing. It was very likely the tree demons that Greenfeather King had mentioned.
Tree Demons were like leeches in a large pool. This was their territory. Human cultivators who came here would only be ambushed and killed.
Unless they were all at the Perfection Stage.
"Slow down, senior apprentice-sister!"
Among them, Su Fang and Qian Huanyun had the weakest cultivation bases.
Hearing the Tree Demon's voice, Su Fang immediately stopped Qian Huanyun and warned him not to leave too quickly. Their strength was the weakest among the twenty experts of the Frozen Moon Cave.
"What? What did you find?" Qian Huanyun did not understand why Su Fang was stopping him. If they could not keep up with those experts, then once they were left alone, they would not be able to leave alive.
Su Fang shook his head. He was not sure if the tree demon would attack them.
What if it didn't? Furthermore, he did not want Qian Huanyun to know about his ability.
Rustle!
But in just a breath's time, the two of them were three meters behind the group.
Suddenly, countless roots flew out of the dense vine forest. Although they were called roots, they were as sharp as Enchanted treasures. They were like a net that attacked the dozen or so experts in front of them.
Chi!
In just an instant, several people were killed or heavily injured.
"Tree Demons, be careful. They're good at hiding. As long as we work together, they won't be a match for us."
"Daluo Heavenly Sword Formation!"
Cheng Lang and the other Undying experts dodged the tree demons' sneak attacks. Seeing the corpses of their fellow disciples being killed by the tree demons and then dragged into the vine forest by the roots, Cheng Lang's expression became ugly.
The tree demons and Qian Huanyun turned pale with fright. They suddenly felt like they had taken a trip to the gates of hell. It was Su Fang who had pulled them back.
Su Fang calmly said, "Let's go. Senior apprentice-sister, if we stay here, we won't be able to help. We'll just be a burden."
"Where are we supposed to find those experts to protect us?" Qian Huanyun was terrified.
Those disciples that had been killed by the tree demons were all Undying disciples, and their cultivation bases were higher than hers. She felt like she wouldn't be able to leave the spirit tree's space alive.
"Of course we have to leave the abyss. With our cultivation bases, we won't be a match for the tree demons. We also won't be a match for the Devil Path cultivators, let alone the demons."
"That's right. This is also my first time in the Heaven Gourd Realm. It's also my first time encountering the birth of a spirit gourd. I originally wanted to try my luck, but who would have thought this place would be so dangerous?"
Qian Huanyun immediately made the decision to leave with Su Fang.
The two of them flew back in the direction they had come from. Stepping on their flying swords, they no longer cared about the battle behind them. At the very least, the powerful Undying disciples wouldn't have any problems fighting the tree demons. But they couldn't be sure about the Undying disciples.
Swoosh.
They finally flew out of the tree hole and arrived at the space where the hundred or so disciples had come from.
But when they arrived, they saw several corpses of the Immortal Sealing Sect's Longevity and Undying disciples. There was clearly devil poison on their corpses. They had clearly encountered Devil Path experts.
"The Luan Devil is even closer. Could it be that these Devil Path cultivators aren't from the Demon Sacrifice Sect?" Glancing at the corpses, Su Fang pondered for a moment before telling Qian Huanyun to leave.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Su Fang sent Qian Huanyun to the exit. Qian Huanyun was puzzled when he saw that Su Fang wanted to stay behind.
Su Fang waved her hand. "Senior apprentice-sister, you should know that junior apprentice-brother obtained a large amount of treasures during the hundred-year trial. There are even high grade Enchanted items among them. So I want to try my luck. Senior apprentice-sister, you should leave. Just wait here. If junior apprentice-brother obtains any treasures, I'll naturally bring one back for you."
"I really don't understand you. In the past, I didn't understand you. You reached second place in such a short time. Now, I don't understand you at all. Even the Undying disciples can't foresee the danger of the tree demons, but you were the first to discover it. I appreciate your kindness, but don't force yourself. Only by staying alive can you have a tomorrow."
Qian Huanyun smiled knowingly, then stepped onto his flying sword and flew up into the sky.
"If she insists on trying her luck here, she'll most likely die here. But if she leaves now, her chances of survival will be higher. I hope she doesn't run into any accidents."
She turned and entered the space.
Su Fang sucked the corpses of the Immortal Sealing Sect's disciples into the True Devil Blood Plate. He would let Luan Mo cultivate in the future.
In any case, the corpses would just become food for the tree demons.
Swish.
A human figure suddenly flashed from the left side of the vine forest.
"There's another fish from the Immortal Sealing Sect that slipped through the net."
It was a black-robed Devil Dao cultivator.
He wasn't a true devil, so he looked like an ordinary human.
"Undying expert." Su Fang knew he wasn't a match for him. He used the Ruler's Divine Steps and flew away.
He was now a disciple of the Immortal Sealing Sect, so he didn't use any methods to suppress devils.
The Devil Dao expert chased after him. After chasing for a few hundred meters, Su Fang flew into another space. He didn't know he would run into several Immortal Sealing Sect's Undying disciples.
"Senior apprentice-brothers, save me!" Su Fang flew over, fleeing for his life.
"It's that Fang Yue from the Ice Moon Grotto. Should we save him?"
"Save what? Senior apprentice-brother Yan has a grudge with him. He even told us to tell him where he is if we meet him."
He didn't expect these Undying disciples to just watch him die. They didn't help Su Fang at all.
Su Fang learned that they had a close relationship with Yan Changluo. It seemed he had come to the right place. Perhaps Yan Changluo was nearby. He could get rid of this scourge.
He still prioritized fleeing. When he entered another space, the devil tactfully left. It seemed he knew this place was filled with cultivators from the Immortal Sealing Sect.
After hiding for a while, Su Fang was on guard against the tree demons' attacks. He changed his appearance. "Luan Mo is nearby. I'll go meet him and see what the Demon Sacrifice Sect and Devil Dao's experts are planning. Then I'll wait for the spirit gourd to appear. As for Yan Changluo and Hua Daoying, they're just clowns."
Originally, he wanted to wait for the spirit gourd to appear, but sensing Luan Mo's aura nearby, Su Fang's thoughts changed. He left this space and went to meet Luan Mo.
After bypassing a few large tree root spaces, Su Fang finally flew out of the spirit tree's inner space. When he was in the air above the abyss, he sensed that Luan Mo was somewhere below and was approaching him. In order to save time, Su Fang sped up and flew over.
"That's …"
Su Fang seemed to have arrived at the core of the Earth Realm's abyss. He landed in a mountain range and happened to see several furtive figures in a forest.
You wouldn't know until you saw Su Fang, but as soon as you saw him, you could tell he was filled with killing intent.
The Supreme God Sect. So they were experts from the Supreme God Sect.
Su Fang still remembered how he had been heavily injured. He wasn't surprised at all that the Supreme God Sect had come here. The Supreme God Sect also wanted the spirit gourd.
"The Supreme God Sect is filled with rich people. Kill them." Su Fang smiled coldly and immediately followed behind the Supreme God Sect's experts.
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from below. "Oh, what kind of resources does your Supreme God Sect not have? You want to cooperate with my Dual Immortal Sect?"
Dual Immortal Sect
Su Fang was even more curious. Why would a sect that focused on dual cultivation appear here?
