Chen Zong sat cross-legged on top of the Withered Mountain while his entire body was suffused with traces of an extremely mysterious aura. That aura was sharp like a sword and contained an extremely deep profundity within it. It endlessly alternated between life and death as if it was a short cycle of life and death.
Yu Nianxin did not say a word. She stood guard for Chen Zong, not allowing anyone or anything to disturb him. At this moment, inspiration was gushing out from Chen Zong's mind. He was focused on comprehending under the Hunyuan Realm. In an instant, countless inspirations were born and destroyed, constantly intertwining and colliding with each other.
The Flower in the Stone bloomed until it withered. Although it did not release any earth-shattering power, it was not a natural treasure that could help one's cultivation. It could only be regarded as a relatively rare and novel flower, like the Epiphyllum, which was suitable for viewing.
However, Chen Zong inadvertently comprehended something from it. Yu Nianxin also gained something. However, Yu Nianxin's comprehension was not as good as Chen Zong's. She was not focused on the Hunyuan Realm, and her foundation was not as strong as Chen Zong's. Therefore, the inspiration did not erupt. Instead, it was hidden, waiting for an opportunity to erupt one day.
Yu Nianxin was very happy that Chen Zong could comprehend something.
At their level, their cultivation had reached the limit. Their strength was also close to the limit. It was too difficult for them to improve further. Every bit of improvement was very precious.
In Winter, there was snow falling.
The snow was fluttering like goose feathers. Overnight, the earth was covered in snow. The Withered Mountain was also covered in snow. There was also a thick layer of snow on the top of the mountain. Only one place was not covered in snow.
Two figures, a man and a woman, were sitting next to a big stone. They were Chen Zong, who was comprehending, and Yu Nianxin, who was guarding.
For several months, Chen Zong had been comprehending, and Yu Nianxin had been guarding. Ordinary people could not stand it, but Yu Nianxin was not. She was very calm. She just guarded Chen Zong. Sometimes, she would cultivate and comprehend, but most of the time, she was guarding Chen Zong. She was not disturbed at all.
Before the falling snow could descend onto Chen Zong's body, it was obliterated by the ceaseless sword qi and dispersed into nothingness.
The cold winter was over and the beginning of spring came. The snow gradually melted, and everything gradually recovered.
Yu Nianxin was surprised to find that in the Withered Mountain, as the snow melted, tender green leaves sprouted.
She and Chen Zong built the wooden house at the foot of the Withered Mountain just to wait for the Flower in the Stone to bloom. For a period of time, they knew that the mountain was dry and lifeless. It was impossible for plants to grow. Even if they scattered seeds, they would not grow. The seeds would become bad seeds and directly wither and lose all vitality.
But now, tender green leaves were breaking out of the ground. Yu Nianxin could not help but be surprised.
At that moment, in Yu Nianxin's mind, a flowing light suddenly bloomed. It was a flash of inspiration, and all kinds of enlightenment began to emerge.
As long as she grasped that flash of inspiration and continued to comprehend, she would be able to make progress in her swordsmanship. She would even be able to create more powerful Sword Principle killing moves and enhance her strength.
However, Yu Nianxin did not pay attention to it, because it was not suitable for her to comprehend now. If she wanted to comprehend, she would have to go into seclusion. If she went into seclusion, there would be no one to guard Chen Zong. If someone passed by here, wouldn't they be disturbed?
At that time, both of their comprehensions might be interrupted.
Using formations?
That could be done, but Yu Nianxin had never learned formations, nor did she have the means to prepare formations. She did not have this habit in the past.
Ignoring that flash of inspiration, Yu Nianxin stared at the tender green leaves that had broken out of the ground of the Withered Mountain and came to a sudden realization.
That's right, the Withered Mountain was completely lifeless before. It was because of the Flower in the Stone. The Flower in the Stone had absorbed all the vitality of the mountain in order to bloom for a short period of time. It bloomed with unparalleled brilliance and stunned the world.
Now that the Flower in the Stone had bloomed, shone brightly, and withered, it would no longer absorb the vitality of the mountain. After the winter and the spring rain, and after the snow melted, the Withered Mountain began to regain some vitality. However, the vitality was still very weak now. Only after a few years, when the vitality slowly accumulated and became stronger, would plants and trees finally grow all over the mountain.
After coming to this realization, Yu Nianxin smiled and continued to protect Chen Zong.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter rotated. Day and night alternated. Sunshine and heavy rain alternated. Day by day, the days passed …
Three years later, the Withered Mountain was no longer the same as before. Instead, it was full of plants and trees. It was lush and full of vitality. There was no trace of the Withered Mountain from before.
"It's like breaking and then building." Yu Nianxin's eyes flashed with a flash of realization.
The Withered Mountain today was overflowing with vitality. It was definitely better than before. Wasn't this the interpretation of breaking and then building?
Even if she did not deliberately go into seclusion to comprehend, Yu Nianxin did not have nothing to do. She slowly accumulated, and her swordsmanship was also improving steadily.
On this day, the Sword Qi of Life and Death surged around Chen Zong. It was like a blooming flower, spreading in all directions and covering the mountain. Then, it disappeared in an instant.
Yu Nianxin's pupils shrank to the size of needles. He suddenly discovered that the lush vegetation that covered this mountain had lost all of its vitality in an instant and become withered. However, in the next breath, it was quickly filled with vitality and returned to its original lush appearance.
Prosperity and transfer, exuberance and withering. This was the alternation and change of life and death. It was so fast and so natural.
"Have you comprehended it?" Yu Nianxin asked softly.
"I've just comprehended it." Chen Zong smiled and replied softly.
He had comprehended it. Even though it was just a preliminary comprehension, it was still a beginner. In the future, he would need to constantly comprehend it and deepen it until he reached the peak.
"Let's go." Chen Zong said to Yu Nianxin. He held Yu Nianxin's hand and stood up. Just as they were about to descend the mountain, he suddenly froze. A few seconds later, Chen Zong said to Yu Nianxin, "Sword Saint Wu Sha has been trapped. I'll go save him."
It turned out that Chen Zong had received a message from his clone earlier. Sword Saint Wu Sha had been trapped in a dangerous place and could not escape. Before he was completely trapped, he had sent a message back to Taihao Mountain. Chen Zong's clone naturally knew about this and immediately contacted Chen Zong's original body.
Sword Saint Wu Sha was a senior from Taihao Mountain like Chen Zong from the previous epoch. His strength aside, just his status alone was irreplaceable.
Back in Taihao Mountain, Chen Zong's strength was far inferior to Sword Saint Wu Sha's, but Sword Saint Wu Sha thought highly of him and taught him the Sword Saint Wu Sha. He also did not mention taking him in as a disciple. That Sword Saint Wu Sha was indeed very useful to him.
Now, he was the Mountain Lord of Taihao Mountain, the Sect Leader, and Sword Saint Wu Sha was the Grand Elder of Taihao Mountain. If Sword Saint Wu Sha was in danger, he naturally had to go save him.
"Be careful," Yu Nianxin did not stop Chen Zong, nor could he stop him. He only warned.
"Tell Father about this." After Chen Zong finished speaking, he turned into a beam of sword light and soared into the sky. He exploded with extreme speed and rushed towards the Lingwu Sacred World.
Yu Nianxin and Chen An temporarily stayed in Lingwu Sacred World.
The Lingwu Sacred World was the world of the War Devil. However, he trusted Chen Zong quite a lot and gave Chen Zong the right to freely enter and exit the Lingwu Sacred World. As for the others, they could not.
Chen Zong's speed was extremely fast, extremely fast.
At this moment, a top True Saint expert was comprehending in the sky above the Lingwu Sacred World. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a beam of sword light cutting through the sky. It was so fast that it completely exceeded his vision and reaction. It disappeared into the horizon.
"What was that?" The top True Saint expert's face was full of shock.
He could not even see clearly what was inside that beam of light.
Was it just a beam of light?
Or was it a person?
Or was it not a person?
He immediately exploded with full speed and turned into a beam of light to chase after it. What he comprehended was the true essence of the Great Path of Space. He was unique in terms of speed and was extremely fast. However, after chasing for a long time, he could not even see that beam of light, let alone catch up.
Chen Zong did not know that someone was chasing after him in the Lingwu Sacred World. Even if he knew, he would not care. After rushing out of the Lingwu Sacred World, Chen Zong tore the depths of the void and kept going out. When he appeared in the void, the connection between him and the incarnation in Taihao Mountain became much clearer.
The incarnation also sent the specific information about Sword Saint Wu Sha.
Maze God Realm!
The place where Sword Saint Wu Sha was trapped in was the Maze God Realm.
The Maze God Realm was a forbidden land in the Chaotic Universe. It was a Chaos-grade forbidden land. It wasn't particularly dangerous, but it was still very dangerous.
Why was that?
Because the Maze God Realm was like a huge maze. Once one entered, it was very difficult to come out. However, if one was lucky enough, it was not impossible to come out. In addition, the Maze God Realm did have some dangers. However, if one was lucky enough, one would not encounter any fatal danger.
However, Sword Saint Wu Sha was trapped in the Divine Penitentiary District and couldn't get out of the Divine Penitentiary District after sending that message. This meant that Sword Saint Wu Sha was either dead or trapped in the Divine Penitentiary District.
In Taihao Mountain, Sword Saint Wu Sha's soul lamp was still burning, which meant that he was not dead. However, if he could not send a message, it meant that Sword Saint Wu Sha was most likely trapped in the God Prison District. The God Prison District was the core of the Maze God Realm.
Under normal circumstances, no one would take the initiative to enter the God Prison District. It was a prison. There were two situations when one entered the God Prison District. One was when one entered without knowing anything. The other was when one had no choice but to enter. For example, when one encountered danger and had no way out, one entered in order to survive.
No matter which one it was, it was basically impossible to leave the God Prison District after entering it.
At least in the Chaotic Universe, many people had entered the Maze God Realm to explore over the past thousand years. However, as long as they entered the God Prison District, they basically did not appear again. Among them, there was no lack of peerless experts on the Chaotic True List.
After the news spread, the God Prison District of the Maze God Realm became a forbidden area that no one was willing to enter.
Why would Sword Saint Wu Sha enter the God Prison District?
Chen Zong did not know. However, he still had to make a trip to the Maze God Realm to see if there was any way. No matter what, he had to try. Perhaps he could find a way to rescue Sword Saint Wu Sha.
