The White Bone Ridge was where the demonic insects slumbered. Over hundreds of millions of years, they constantly parasitized and reproduced, reducing their hosts to skeletons. These skeletons would then decay into ashes over the long years, resulting in the White Bone Ridge.
The history of the White Bone Ridge's formation left one shuddering just thinking about it.
"I can see the eggs because my eyes are different from ordinary people."
Yi Yun explained vaguely. Yue Yingsha was enlightened. Back at the entrance to the Door to the 33 Skies, Yi Yun had seen through the illusions of the enchanted treasures in the black river. He knew that they did not exist.
Such a mutated eye was indeed very advantageous when exploring perilous lands.
Yi Yun and Yue Yingsha flew for dozens of kilometers in one go before they saw the end of the White Bone Ridge.
Behind the bone powder was an endless gravel desert.
It was a desolate and silent land that did not seem to have any signs of life. There were only barren mountains and boulders that stood in the distance.
Upon seeing this scene, Yue Yingsha drew a light gasp.
The Door to the 33 Skies was filled with death. It made one feel repressed.
However, the White Bone Ridge they had previously experienced was formed from the rotting corpses of countless lifeforms. This implied that the Door to the 33 Skies was much more prosperous in the distant past than it was now. It might have nurtured powerful Ancient Fey or desolate beasts.
Thinking back to the mysterious woman who had planted the divine tree, Yue Yingsha would not be surprised if the Door to the 33 Skies had True Dragons and Phoenixes.
Compared to the Azure Wood Great World, the Door to the 33 Skies had undoubtedly existed for a much longer period of time. It was so long ago that it was difficult to trace it.
It was unimaginable what sort of scene it was when the Door to the 33 Skies was first opened.
"Yi Yun, in the records of my Azure Wood Manor, the underground world beneath the Door to the 33 Skies looks vast, but there's only one path. Anyone who enters the Door to the 33 Skies will most likely follow this path. We might encounter those people in the future."
"There's only one path?" Yi Yun was taken aback. However, it was understandable on further thought. If the Door to the 33 Skies was opened by an ancient mighty figure, it was a passageway that led to another world. It was reasonable that there was only one path. "But … what about You Feihua? We didn't manage to catch up to him despite traveling hundreds of kilometers? "
"I don't know … It's said to be a path, but the Door to the 33 Skies is a very strange place. There's only a fine line between life and death. You don't even know if your enemy is alive or dead, so it's not strange that you didn't meet him."
"What's next in the White Bone Ridge? What's the danger?" Yi Yun asked again. In the Door to the 33 Skies, Yue Yingsha had read the Azure Wood Manor's manuals. Her knowledge was extremely helpful when exploring the area.
However, Yue Yingsha shook her head and said, "I can't be sure either. Although there's only one path, it's ever-changing. I can't predict it. The next place we head to might be a land of death that has never been recorded in the books. Yi Yun, what I want to say is that it will be extremely dangerous for the two of us to traverse the Door to the 33 Skies alone. If there were more of us, we might not be attacked if there's any danger. The chances of us surviving would be higher, but with just the two of us, it's nearly impossible to escape."
Upon hearing Yue Yingsha's words, Yi Yun nodded. Indeed, they did not even have a shield. If they were to fall into a perilous situation, the odds were against them.
"Let's head forward first. By the way, why did you come to the Door to the 33 Skies?" Yi Yun suddenly asked. Yue Yingsha had gone through thick and thin with him in the Apocalyptic Fumes because of the circumstances. Later on, when the Door to the 33 Skies suddenly appeared, Yue Yingsha had entered it with him. It was likely that she had something he wanted.
Yue Yingsha bit her lips and did not directly answer Yi Yun. Instead, she said vaguely, "I do have something I'm looking for, but the chances of finding it are extremely slim. You saved me previously, so I can tell you now. In the core zone of the Door to the 33 Skies, not only is there nebulous Primordial Chaos, there might even be a senior who left behind heritage regarding Primordial Chaos. There should be something you need."
"Heritage regarding Primordial Chaos!?"
Yi Yun's heart stirred. To him, this was truly timely help!
On careful thought, if the Door to the 33 Skies was really a door that led to another world opened by a peerless figure, then that person would be so terrifying that it would be difficult to even look up to him. It was also reasonable that he could tear through the Universe and be so well-versed in Primordial Chaos laws.
"Let's go. Regardless, we cannot let Marquis Wu Yun and company catch up to us. They might have already escaped from those insect eggs."
Upon mentioning the insect eggs, Yi Yun had some thoughts. In a world that was in decline like the Azure Wood Great World, there were many things that were related to the Destruction and Withering laws that Yi Yun cultivated in. If he could obtain some of those insect eggs and nourish them with Destruction laws, it might result in unexpected effects.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to return now.
As Yi Yun spoke, a flame suddenly flashed in front of Yue Yingsha. It exploded like fireworks.
Yi Yun came to a halt. He guessed that the flame was a mystic technique that allowed the sect to communicate with each other.
"My granny is looking for me." Yue Yingsha looked in a particular direction as she formed seals with her hands. A similar flame flashed and transmitted outwards.
"Granny?"
"Yes … It's Granny Yin who took care of me after Master passed away. She's actually half a teacher to me. From the looks of it, Granny Yin has also entered the Door to the 33 Skies."
As Yue Yingsha spoke, she sounded somewhat worried. In the Door to the 33 Skies, having a higher cultivation level did not necessarily mean one's safety. There was still an extremely high chance of perishing.
Yue Yingsha was worried that Granny Yin would encounter danger in the Door to the 33 Skies. Granny Yin was considered Yue Yingsha's only family other than Chu He.
After confirming each other's location through a voice transmission mystic technique, the Granny Yin that Yue Yingsha mentioned quickly rushed towards her.
She was a hunchbacked and wizened old granny. Her sparse silvery-white hair was barely tied into a bun with a hairpin. It looked like it would fall apart at any moment. Her face was covered in wrinkles and she looked like she was on the brink of death.
What made Yi Yun slightly wary was that Granny Yin had not come alone. She had brought more than twenty people with her. There were old and young people among them. They were dressed similarly, similar to Granny Yin and Yue Yingsha. Their cultivation levels varied, and a few of them made Yi Yun's heart palpitate slightly.
Yi Yun noticed that Yue Yingsha's expression instantly turned ugly when she saw these people.
"Granny, the people you brought …" Yue Yingsha sensed an aura that was similar to hers from the twenty or so people. In addition to Granny Yin's attitude towards them and their attire, Yue Yingsha had already guessed who they were.
When the Azure Wood Manor declined, the group of people that had betrayed the Azure Wood Manor with their treasures and heritage had left the Azure Wood Great World. They had definitely left behind descendants.
The people in front of her were the traitors that had left the Azure Wood Manor. Why did Granny bring them here?
