Xun, one of the Eight Trigrams, was located in the southeast. Xun Feng was a cool breeze blowing from the southeast.
A cool breeze blowing from the southeast was supposed to be a relaxing thing, but at World's End, it was a fatal calamity. This place was not in the Three Realms, nor was it part of the Five Elements. All the "evil" that could not be dispelled — Buddhism called it "negative karma", Daoism called it "Faceless Sky Demon" — would eventually gather here. Thus, this place was shrouded in an aura of "evil" all year round. When mixed with the air from the outside world, it formed an extremely sinister and evil phenomenon, making those who encountered it feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xun Feng would gather this phenomenon in large quantities, forming a "tide". Its power would increase tenfold, reaching a qualitative change. Be it darkness beasts or cultivators, if they were scraped by it, only their bones would remain. If they were scraped again, not even their bones would remain. If they were scraped again, even their souls would be annihilated.
Yan Li and Li Hongzhuang had struggled to survive in World's End for six years, accumulating a wealth of experience.
The two of them jumped into the holes they had dug, enduring the corrosion of the darkness matter on their bodies. They closed their eyes, taking the only rest of the day. Yes, although Xun Feng would bring about a terrifying tide of darkness, it also stopped the darkness beasts from moving. Like them, they could hide in the ground. They did not have to worry about sneak attacks from darkness beasts, and could sleep soundly.
"I wish you good luck. If you don't wake up again, I will erect a tombstone for you." Li Hongzhuang smiled.
"What's written on the tombstone?" Yan Li asked.
"Little thief Yan," Li Hongzhuang said.
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
"You are a Loose Cultivator. You can't die no matter how I kill you. You are as tenacious as a cockroach. You also shamelessly steal someone else's body. If you aren't a little thief, what are you?" Li Hongzhuang said.
"Then I will write a letter of apology," Yan Li said.
"Oh?" Li Hongzhuang said.
"You have tried to deal with me time and time again. Each time, you suffered a great loss. You even offered your body to me. You have suffered a double loss," Yan Li said.
"I want to kill you right now!" Li Hongzhuang said.
"Then I'm free. I hope you can bear the danger of being blown away by the [Modest Wind] and help me," Yan Li said.
"I'll deal with you when I wake up," Li Hongzhuang said.
Bickering was also a good way to adjust one's mood, so it became a habit to do so.
The two of them still had holes to hide in, but it would be terrible if they were on the sea.
The Kun Boats had just finished merging when a gust of wind and a tide rolled over like thunder from the sky. Under the light of the Sea Clan's shells, a chaotic sandstorm appeared. The dark space was twisted, and the light further added fuel to the fire, making the sandstorm-like tide look like countless grinning demons.
Su Rongrong took a few glances and was stunned.
"If you can't protect yourself, quickly return to the cabin!" Su Xing Yu roared.
Su Rongrong shuddered and lamented that he would have nightmares tonight. He jogged back to the cabin, not daring to say a word to Su Xing Yu.
In the blink of an eye, the [Modest Wind] collided with the purple flower. What was shocking was that the purple flower, which had always been outstanding, had a large piece bitten off, disintegrating on the spot.
Yan Shiyi's expression was cold. He pulled out his saber and waved it. Dense purple saber light swept over. The [Modest Wind] was split into countless small pieces, but it still did not disappear. As mentioned earlier, the phenomena of nature were not something that Immortals could control. The fragmented [Modest Wind] was even more difficult to deal with. It landed on the invisible purple energy shield and made a "Boom Boom" sound, wave after wave attacking the Kun Boat. The Kun Boat shook violently, and the expressions of the people on the boat changed. If Yan Shiyi could not withstand it, the Kun Boat would immediately suffer.
The owner of the Immortal Land, Yan Shiyi, looked slightly pale, and his aura was unstable. He raised his eyebrows and returned the saber to its sheath. He closed his eyes slightly. The disintegrating purple flower suddenly split into several flowers, each in a different direction, and then broke into particles. Each particle seemed to have its own will, shuttling through the void, leaving behind a trail of light that formed the shape of a saber light. The saber light drew a beautiful pattern, and then the void froze, as if it had been imprisoned. This was Yan Shiyi's self-created consummate skill — Moon's Reflection.
Compared to six years ago, he no longer needed a medium. He could use it with a thought, and he could also spread the confinement area.
Several parts of the void were confined, and they all took the shape of a purple flower. They intersected and merged, forming a huge purple flower.
Bang bang bang!
The void was forcefully shattered, and the [Modest Wind] disappeared in the fission.
"Impressive!" Liu Letian could not help but blurt out.
"His Immortal Land can actually change!" Su Xingyu's eyes flickered, thinking that no wonder Bing Jian insisted on ranking Yan Shiyi as the first in Tian Chen. For a normal cultivator, once the Immortal Land merged with the will, it would not change, and there would be no change, unless they were gifted.
An hour later, Yan Shiyi had dealt with the twelve [Modest Wind] waves, and the Evil Prison gradually returned to peace. The Kun Boat continued to follow the Green Lotus Lamp. However, the speed of the Green Lotus Lamp was too slow, and no matter how anxious the people on the boat were, there was nothing they could do.
Shen Liuyun's heart was pounding. She stared at the Green Lotus Lamp to calibrate the course, and paced back and forth, thinking about how Yan Li had survived for so many years, and how much he had suffered. Had he become a monster because of the Evil Prison? What if he had been assimilated by the Beast of Darkness, and lost his mind, and only knew how to kill? What should she say to him when they met again?
Seeing this, Liumu Bingjian comforted her, "Miss Shen, now you only need to control the Kun Boat well, and we will be able to save Brother Yan. Don't think too much."
Shen Liuyun sighed, "Ah, Little Fan's fate is full of misfortune. He has not had a good day since he was six years old. As his aunt, not only can I not share his burden, but I also always drag him down. I have lived in vain."
Liumu Bingjian said, "The sorrow and happiness of this world are only a form of existence. Only the brilliance of the soul is eternal. And the brilliance of the soul is bound to go through the baptism of countless storms. After six years in the Evil Prison, I believe that Brother Yan has gained more. Moreover, Miss Shen is not an existence that can help Brother Yan, nor can you share his pain. Not only does he not want Miss Shen to suffer for him, but he also wants you to be happy. If you are not happy, he will not be happy. If you suffer, it is like cutting him with a knife, burning him with fire. I believe that Miss Shen's safety is the greatest consolation for Brother Yan's sad fate. "
"Really?" Shen Liuyun's mind shook.
Liumu Bingjian said meaningfully, "Therefore, Miss Shen had best seriously think about how you should walk your path in the future."
"I …" Shen Liuyun's expression was perplexed, "Perhaps … but … ah …"
Yu Jun heard the conversation clearly, his expression anxious. He wanted to say something, but then closed his mouth. His young face gradually became resolute, as if he had secretly made up his mind about something.
… …
In a daze, Yan Li felt something sprinkling down from above his head, more and more, more and more. He found it a little hard to breathe, and couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see Li Hongzhuang next to the hole, filling it with dirt. He sighed, saying, "Don't forget, you are in charge of casting the Dust Removal Incantation today."
Every day, they had to avoid the [Modest Wind], and then they had to squeeze out a bit of true qi to cast the Dust Removal Incantation in place of cleansing their bodies and washing their clothes. The amount of true qi needed to cast the Dust Removal Incantation was fixed, and every time it was cast, it could clean their clothes and bodies.
Li Hongzhuang was still filling the hole, and only when he had buried Yan Li alive did he clap his hands, saying, "Since we're going to die anyway, you can go first, and I'll bury your bones. Isn't that better than both of us dying together and leaving our corpses exposed in the wilderness?"
A muffled voice came from underground, "You just want to suffocate me to death, and then store my corpse so that you can eat it when you can't take it anymore."
"Hehehe, of course I want to eat your flesh and gnaw on your bones," Li Hongzhuang said.
Yan Li struggled to crawl out of the hole. "Even if you want to eat me, now is not the time. Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"What day is today?" Li Hongzhuang asked.
"The day the giant water monster eats," Yan Li said.
Li Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes lit up, "I've never felt that water tastes so good."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Yan Li said.
Li Hongzhuang chose the latter between "torturing" Yan Li and "drinking until he's full." He cast the Dust Removal Incantation, washed away the dirt, and went straight to the giant water monster's habitat.
There were many islands in Evil Purgatory, and each island had a dominating monster. The stronger the monster on the island, the larger the territory it occupied. Moreover, it radiated to the surrounding seas with the island as the center.
For the past six years, the two of them had gone to various islands to survive. This time, they were at the end of their rope because the monster that ruled the island was too powerful. Its territory was more than nine hundred kilometers in radius, and Li Hongzhuang's primordial spirit was exhausted before he could find another place to stay. However, the island did not exist forever. No matter how big or small it was, and no matter how powerful the monster that ruled the island was, it would eventually be destroyed by the Heavenly Fire, Gentle Wind, and Sabers.
The giant water monster was the most unique wild beast the two of them had ever encountered. Its body was actually not big, about the size of a millstone. It looked like a sea urchin with thorns all over its body. With its body as the center, it would spit out huge bubbles to envelop itself, which was why it looked extremely huge. It fed on Evil Purgatory's water. Every time it ate, it would expel a purified water without any impurities. That water was similar to ordinary mountain spring water, and it was the only thing the two of them could eat in the past six years.
Usually, the giant water monster was in a very vigilant state. Once it discovered an intruder, it would immediately self-destruct. Half a year ago, when they had just arrived, they thought they had found a treasure and drank to their heart's content. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the giant water monster, and the island was almost destroyed. Later, they discovered that the giant water monster would only relax its vigilance when it was eating. After further observation, they discovered that it ate once every half a month. So, every half a month, they would sneak in and drink from it to comfort their five viscera temples that had been starving for many years.
Even in the face of a desperate situation, they had to die a "full" death.
