As soon as the passageway appeared, frenzied spiritual energy immediately gushed out of it.
As soon as the spiritual energy came into contact with it, Fei Ting, Wu Yuan, and the others were sent flying, crashing heavily into the cliff face.
"It's the Lingyuan Winding River …" Fei Ting narrowed his eyes in shock.
Others might not recognize it, but he had been in contact with the river for many years, so he knew what it was. The frenzied flow that was gushing out of it was the Lingyuan Winding River. Be it in terms of purity or speed, it far surpassed the river that flowed once every five years in the Great Yan Prefecture.
As soon as the Lingyuan Winding River gushed out, a massive vortex immediately formed in the middle of the valley. A deafening rumble echoed in the air, similar to what Zhang Xuan had seen previously.
"Grandfather, I won't be able to maintain it for long …"
The Great Demon of Bliss trembled uncontrollably as veins popped on his forehead.
Even though the ritual had formed a passageway, the pressure was simply too great. It was not something that a Pseudo Immortal like him could sustain for long.
"Wait here!"
Su Yin said. "I'll go in to take a look!"
The spiritual energy in the passageway was simply too frenzied. Even though Fei Ting and the others had immortal artifacts, they had not tamed them yet. If they were to barge in recklessly, they could very well be torn to shreds. On the other hand, Zhang Xuan did not feel too great of a pressure, so it should not be too dangerous for him to enter.
This was a good opportunity for him to check the relationship between the world he was in and the Zhenxian Sect.
"Junior Uncle, be careful …" Fei Ting and the others urged.
"Un!" Su Yin nodded. Then, he turned to Xiao Wu and said, "Keep a close eye on that fellow. Those who cultivate demonic arts tend to have evil intentions. If he dares to pull any tricks, just beat him to death!"
"Master, rest assured!" The parrot nodded as it stared intently at the adolescent boy not too far away.
"…"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan still did not believe him, Bliss sighed helplessly.
However, he knew that he could not blame anyone else. Eight thousand years ago, he had committed all kinds of evil deeds. As an expert of the Righteous Path, it was already a blessing that his grandfather did not execute him on the spot.
This time, he had to maintain the passageway properly. Even if he were to die from exhaustion, he had to prove his loyalty through action.
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Xuan drove his demonic energy. In an instant, the pitch-black passageway became thicker and straighter.
Without another word, Su Yin turned around and walked towards the passageway.
The energy of the Spirit Abyss Winding River was ferocious and violent, but it didn't affect Zhang Xuan too much. On the contrary, it felt warm and comfortable.
He tried to absorb the concentrated spiritual energy, but he was still unable to absorb it. His body was filled with disgust.
Feeling slightly helpless, he strode forward.
The passageway was pitch-black, such that even with his eye of discernment, he was unable to see too far ahead. He could only tell that it was very long, and he had no idea where it led to. Perhaps, he would be able to figure out the reason behind it if the members of the Subjugation Immortal Sect could successfully reach the end of the passageway.
Just as Zhang Xuan thought that he would soon reach the end of the passageway, the passageway suddenly shook violently, as if it had been struck by something. Countless spatial fragments flew right toward him.
Su Yin narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
Even though Zhang Xuan had never seen it before, he could tell that it was the collapse of the passageway. He hurriedly turned around to flee, but barely after taking a few steps, he realized that the passageway behind him had also been reduced to dust.
Immediately after, a huge spirit qi vortex rushed over, as if wanting to devour him.
"It's over!" Su Yin's face flushed with anger as his body turned cold. "Bliss set me up …"
Boom!
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, he had already been sucked into the shattered space, and he was swept away by the spirit qi vortex.
The passageway had been maintained perfectly well, so it had to be the doing of The Great Demon of Bliss for it to suddenly shatter. He had thought that the other party's life was in his hands, so he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Who would have thought that he had underestimated the other party?
Damn it!
It seemed like he was still too naive and gullible.
If only he had known that the other party was so ambitious, he would have had Donkey kick him to death earlier …
These thoughts flashed across Su Yin's mind. He tried to break free from the suction force of the spirit qi vortex, but he found that he was unable to do so. The surrounding spatial fragments struck his body, causing him to feel a little itchy. The whirlpool continued to spin around him, causing him to feel a little dizzy. Some time later, his vision darkened, and he fainted.
…
Seeing the sudden collapse of the passageway by the altar, the crowd couldn't help but shudder.
Gu Yunqiu had destroyed the passageway in the depths of the Spirit Abyss Realm with the help of a transcendent spirit vein. Even they didn't know that such a thing would happen.
Pu!
The Great Demon of Bliss spurted a mouthful of blood, and his face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. He was the first one to suffer the backlash of the collapse of the passageway.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to suppress his injuries and continue infusing his demonic essence into the altar when Xiao Wu suddenly looked at him with reddened eyes. "It's you …"
"It has nothing to do with me. I don't know why the passageway shattered either …"
The Great Demon of Bliss hurriedly waved his hands. However, before he could finish his words, Su Yin's furious roar sounded from the depths of the passageway, "Bliss set me up!"
Following which, the roar came to an abrupt halt.
"…"
The Great Demon of Bliss was on the verge of tears. "If I were to tell you that I really don't know what happened, would you believe me?"
"You're courting death!"
Xiao Wu roared furiously as he swiped his claws forward.
In an instant, it felt as if the entire valley had been sealed. Putting aside escaping, Bliss found himself unable to move at all. Following which, he felt as if the blood in his body had been sealed. Boundless energy surged into his body, causing the world to lose its color.
Boom!
Bliss's body was sent flying. All of his ribs were shattered, and fresh blood spurted madly from his mouth. With a ghastly pale face, he felt as if his strength had been sapped away by something, vanishing without a trace.
"It's over …" Bliss's vision darkened.
It had only been two hours since he recovered his cultivation, and yet, he was already crippled once more. Furthermore, his injuries were even more severe this time around. If not for his grandfather forging the Soul Searing Mirror for him, he would have died on the spot.
"How powerful …"
Upon seeing this sight, Fei Ting and the others trembled in fear.
They knew that Little Senior Uncle's pet was not weak, but they did not think that it would be so fearsome.
Putting aside Lesser Pseudo Immortals, even True Immortals would be smashed into meat paste!
It was fortunate that they did not underestimate the other party just because it was a bird, or else they would not even know how they died.
"How dare you harm Master! I'll kill you!"
The more Xiaowu thought about it, the angrier and more regretful he got. Before his master left, he had told him to watch out for the Blissful Demon, but he didn't keep an eye on the Blissful Demon and let him play dirty tricks.
This was unforgivable!
He opened his mouth, and scorching flames surged out once again, shooting toward the boy not far away.
In the blink of an eye, the latter was charred black.
"Elder Xiao Wu, please calm down …" Seeing how frenzied Little Senior Uncle was, and how The Great Demon was already on the verge of death, Fei Ting could not help but speak up to dissuade Little Senior Uncle. "Little Senior Uncle's cultivation is too high. Even if the passageway collapses, he might still be fine … However, if that fellow is really dead, who knows how he managed to destroy the passageway and harm others? If we don't know this, it won't be easy for us to find Little Senior Uncle … "
Xiao Wu stopped the flames and turned to Fei Ting. "Do you think that … Master will be fine?"
"Of course! Even if the passageway collapses, the worst-case scenario would be the destruction of space. As long as one is prepared, even an Eternal realm cultivator would find it difficult to kill him. Given Little Senior Uncle's strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him. What we fear the most is that … he might be trapped in spatial turbulence and be unable to return!"
Seeing that Little Senior Uncle had stopped attacking, Fei Ting heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly explained, "Besides, we don't know what lies on the other side of the passageway and how powerful the cultivator is. As the host of the ritual, he can't die yet. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for us to save Little Senior Uncle!"
Hearing Fei Ting's explanation, Xiao Wu nodded. He flapped his wings and flew over to The Great Demon. Seeing that the other party's heartbeat was still weak, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This fellow did have quite a few means to preserve his life. Even after being pummeled by Brother Donkey a few days ago, he was still able to survive. As long as he didn't die, he should be fine.
After circling around the other party, Xiao Wu said, "Wake him up. I'll interrogate him properly!"
Fei Ting nodded. He walked up to Little Senior Uncle and injected Zhen Yuan into his body. Then, he took out a recovery pill and stuffed it in.
A moment later, Little Senior Uncle woke up. Upon seeing Xiao Wu, he hurriedly said, "I really didn't harm Grandfather. I really don't know why the passageway collapsed …"
"I told you to lie, but you refused to speak the truth …"
Disappointment flashed across Xiao Wu's eyes as he stomped down on Little Senior Uncle once more.
Kacha!
A crack appeared on Little Senior Uncle's head. His nose and mouth were torn into two.
Hu!
The Great Demon, who was at Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle, fainted once more.
"…" Seeing how reckless Little Senior Uncle was, Fei Ting and the others were speechless. What could they possibly get out of him by asking him like that?
However, the other party was simply too powerful. They didn't dare to say too much. Thus, they could only turn their gazes to the area where the passageway had exploded.
The spiritual energy vortex was still spinning above them. The area where the passageway had appeared had already regained its tranquility, as if it had never appeared before.
"Is it possible for us to continue sacrificing so that the passageway will appear again and bring Little Senior Uncle back?"
Due to the excessive blood loss, Wu Yuan gritted his teeth and asked with a pale face.
"You won't be able to use the altar a second time within a short period of time after using it once. It's impossible for us to make the passageway appear again …"
Fei Ting shook his head.
After using the altar once, it would be impossible to use it again for a short period of time. At the very least, it would take seven days for it to recover!
"What should we do then?" Wu Yuan's body swayed weakly.
"The Subjugation Immortal Sect should have Little Senior Uncle's Soul Jade Token, right? Let's check it out first before making a decision. As long as he's fine, given his strength, it should be easier for him to find us than him …"
Fei Ting said.
With the destruction of the passageway, Little Senior Uncle was bound to be trapped in spatial turbulence. With their cultivation, it would be impossible for them to find him!
"You're right. Let's look for Lao Mian to discuss this matter. It has lived for a long time, so it's bound to have many ideas …" Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
As talkative as it was, it had always followed its master's lead blindly. Now that its master had disappeared, there was nothing it could do.
On the other hand, the Old Tortoise had always been good at coming up with good ideas. Perhaps, it might be able to think of a way to save its master.
"Since that's the case, let's hurry back. Otherwise, once the hurricane disappears, we'll be trapped here …" Qiu Zhaojun said.
Everyone nodded. Without wasting any more time, they quickly flew back. With the protection of their Immortal-tier artifacts, they were fine. It did not take long for them to return to the entrance of Spirit Treasure Valley.
At this moment, Tan Jin and the others were still standing on the spot, their faces pale.
"This …" Seeing that they had returned safely, their mouths twitched. They were so frightened that they could not speak.
This was the fourth most dangerous place on the continent. To enter it so easily and return unscathed … no one would believe it if they heard of it.
"Something's not right … The Great Demon of Bliss is injured, and his injuries are severe!"
Soon, Tan Jin and Elder Yuan Qin saw the legendary figure being dragged around like a dead dog. He had already fainted and was half dead.
That was a Pseudo Immortal realm expert, and yet, he had suffered such severe injuries. Spirit Treasure Valley … was simply too dangerous!
Everyone's hearts palpitated.
Paying no heed to their fear, they left the vicinity of Spirit Treasure Valley and flew back. Not too long later, they were out of the Jade Sea.
With Fei Ting as an Eternal realm expert, they were able to travel swiftly. In less than an hour, they arrived at the Immortal Suppressing Sect, found Sun Zhao, and explained the situation.
"Junior Uncle's Soul Jade Token isn't broken. He should be fine …" After finding the Soul Jade Token, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Since he's fine, he should be looking for us or contacting us …" Xiao Wu looked at the charred The Great Demon lying on the ground and said, "Let's not kill him for now. Let's interrogate him properly and see what he's up to …"
Hearing those words, the Great Demon King, who had just woken up, twitched uncontrollably before fainting once more.
Forget it, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River.
Initially, he wanted to perform well and impress his grandfather, but who knew that he would really be impressed … It was just that he did not know if he could hold on until his grandfather returned …
…
Decimating Abyss City.
Gu Yunqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate where the altar is and who is the one who activated it …"
Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. He had driven a transcendent-tier spirit vein into the depths of the Spirit Abyss and even caused it to explode … Even as a Pseudo Immortal realm expert, he had still sustained severe injuries.
Even though the Great Demon King was an enemy, he would not lie about such matters. In other words, the passageway that he had destroyed was indeed created by humans!
Perhaps, he might have been able to obtain the Aura of Immortal and resolve his current situation, but … they had ruined his plans!
"Sanctum Master Gu, your injuries …"
Seeing Gu Yunqiu in such a state, Shen Moping and the others turned to him worriedly.
"I'm fine. I'll be able to recover after a few months of rest. What we fear the most is the sudden attack of the Great Demon King. Everyone, mankind is about to face an unprecedented challenge … If we fail to overcome it, our civilization of ten thousand years will be destroyed!"
Gu Yunqiu shook his head grimly.
What was more important was that the Great Demon King had obtained the Aura of Immortal. As soon as one of them achieved a breakthrough, mankind would face a calamity. They had to make preparations in advance.
"I've already sent out the notice. The geniuses of the various prefectures have to rush to Dry Origin City within three days! Let's hope that we can make it in time … "
Shen Moping said.
Gu Yunqiu nodded. Suddenly, he recalled something and sighed deeply. "Tell Ling-er to come back. If anything happens to me, the alliance might need her to take charge of the situation!"
"Yes!"
Shen Moping nodded.
