"This is the divine tree?" Yi Yun had also heard of the various legends of the Azure Wood Great World's divine tree, but today, he was seeing it with his own eyes.
"Young Mistress, are you sure that's the divine tree? Why would the divine tree's roots appear here? There are no records in the canon. "
Granny Yin muttered to herself. She could not accept the fact that the sect's canon had suddenly lost its effect.
"That's the divine tree." As the successor of the Azure Wood Manor, Yue Yingsha's life had a faint connection with the divine tree's aura. With this connection, her intuition could not be wrong.
"Let's go over and take a look."
Legend had it that the Azure Wood Great World's divine tree was personally planted by the peerless woman in the portrait. The divine tree had stabilized the light that shone on the world, but tens of millions of years ago, the world had begun its decline.
Although she knew that the Azure Wood Great World's collapse was unstoppable, Yue Yingsha still wanted to do something. If she could approach the divine tree's roots that she had never come into contact with before, there might be an unexpected harvest.
Yi Yun nodded. The divine tree that had lived for hundreds of millions of years was a miracle of life. Compared to the three thousand Great Dao Dao Trees that Yi Yun had seen in the Pure Yang Sword Palace, it was in no way inferior.
The trio proceeded towards the Dao Tree's gigantic roots. Although the gigantic tree's roots did not appear to be far away, they did not close the distance for some unknown reason.
In the Door to the 33 Skies, which was filled with all sorts of oddities, the trio did not dare to use their movement techniques to fly. They proceeded cautiously along the way.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened. Yi Yun looked up into the sky and saw the faintly discernible stars hanging in the sky. There was even a faint galaxy that stretched across the sky. It was extremely beautiful and resplendent.
This puzzled Yi Yun. The Azure Wood Great World was a sealed world, so how was it possible to see the vast galaxy? Or could it be that the sky they saw did not belong to the Azure Wood Great World?
It was unknown when the night fog began to rise. The fog was very thin and did not obstruct one's vision, but it made one wary. Granny Yin subconsciously slowed down her pace. She had lived for a long period of time, so she had an inexplicable intuition for possible dangers.
"Kid, let's walk slower. I find something amiss," said Granny Yin.
Granny Yin said. She could still see the vast galaxy in the sky through the night fog, but she could no longer see the mountains in the distance. The roots of the Divine Tree were already hidden in the thin night fog.
Yi Yun activated his energy vision, but he did not see anything strange. However, he still slowed down his pace.
Suddenly, Yi Yun heard the sound of flowing water. The sound was faint and indistinct.
However, Yi Yun did not know if it was the river or something else that was shrouded in the night fog. The night fog was also very strange. Looking ahead, everything was shrouded in fog, making it hard to see clearly. But looking back, the fog was not thick at all. The path they came from could be clearly seen.
"Why do I feel like we are lost …" Yi Yun suddenly said as he looked at the galaxy in the sky. They had been heading in a single direction and the divine tree's roots were likely right in front of them. However, the ominous feeling in his heart intensified. Yet, he failed to see anything through his energy vision.
Not being able to see anything was a good thing, but not seeing anything at all was too unusual.
Yue Yingsha tried hard to recall the Azure Wood Manor's manuals. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a chill run down her back. It made her hair stand on end.
Yue Yingsha turned her head abruptly as her expression changed drastically.
Yi Yun jumped in fright as he hurriedly turned his head to take a look. There was nothing in the fog.
"What happened?"
Yi Yun noticed that Yue Yingsha's face was slightly pale. It was likely that she had seen something.
"Eyes … I saw a pair of pale red eyes. They were about the size of bowls. The pair of eyes followed behind us like a ghost, constantly observing us. But just as I turned my head, it vanished."
Yue Yingsha was secretly vexed. She was also a martial artist, so regardless of what she had seen, she should not have panicked. If danger had struck them, she might not have been able to use half of her combat strength due to her panic.
"Eyes?" Yi Yun's heart palpitated. He did not believe that Yue Yingsha had seen wrongly. Perhaps, there really was something in the fog. But strangely, he could not see anything with his energy vision.
The energy vision was not omnipotent. It could only see energy, but what if the thing hidden in the darkness did not have any energy fluctuations?
Just the thought of an existence that could silently approach him sent chills down Yi Yun's spine. Regardless, he had to be careful. The dangers in the Door to the 33 Skies were unimaginable. Previously, he had easily traversed the Blood Desert, but that was only because the danger in the Blood Desert had coincidentally appeared in his energy vision.
As she was worried about a sneak attack from behind, Yue Yingsha turned her head with every step she took. And as they proceeded forward, the faint sounds of water became clearer.
As they parted the night fog, they finally saw the source of the water sounds.
In front of the three of them, a black river appeared. This river flowed into a col, forming a whirlpool in the col that seemed to flow into the ground.
The river water was thick and heavy, as black as ink. It was not wide, but it gave off a baffling feeling.
And what left Yi Yun shuddering the most was that he could vaguely see white bones in the vortex. As the black river flowed in, they bobbed up and down. Eventually, they could not escape the fate of being devoured by the vortex.
On the banks of the black river, the lush grassland had extended all the way there. However, the grass had already turned black. Beneath the grass roots, there was a layer of grayish-white powder.
Yi Yun remembered what he had seen and heard in White Bone Ridge. It was bone ash, and when it landed by the lake, it became nourishment for the wormwood.
"Danger! Let's leave quickly! "
Granny Yin suddenly let out a scream that sounded as ear-piercing as a nightingale.
Without any hesitation, Yi Yun fled with Granny Yin!
Granny Yin's cultivation level was the highest. She grabbed Yi Yun with one hand and Yue Yingsha with the other. Using her movement techniques, she rapidly fled.
Yi Yun subconsciously turned his head to take a glance. He saw the black wormwood by the lake's side dancing like a python. The soil layer was completely split apart as the bone ash flew.
Yi Yun did not know what would have happened if he had stayed behind.
Granny Yin flew ten thousand feet in one go. There, she suddenly saw a group of people in front of her.
Granny Yin was alarmed. Just as she was about to retreat, she realized that the group of people were the Azure Wood Manor separatists. Seven Plume, the purple-robed elder, and company were among them.
These people had eventually walked out of the Blood Desert, but they had paid a considerable price.
"Oh? It's you! "
