Jun Wu Xie and Ji Inran were whispering sweet nothings to each other, as if they had completely forgotten about Ling Qingyu's existence.
Ling Qingyu felt extremely uncomfortable at the side. She couldn't help but have goosebumps all over her body when she heard those sweet nothings. She couldn't help but turn to look at them and say, "I say, can you two not be so mushy?"
"Just treat us as if we don't exist when you repair your origin. We don't mind."
"You …"
Ling Qingyu angrily glared at Jun Wu Xie.
She really wanted to say, 'Is it a matter of whether you mind or not? I mind, okay?'
'Why is this bad guy so thick-skinned?'
'As long as they don't feel awkward, I'll be the one feeling awkward …'
Watching a pair of lovey-dovey displays of affection next to her, the feeling of being forced to eat dog food was really terrible …
She turned around in annoyance, closed her eyes, shut her ears and senses, and devoted herself to repairing her origin. Out of sight, out of mind.
Jun Wu Xie ignored her and took out some divine beast blood to give to Ji Inran. He said, "Use this blood to heal your injuries. The life essence inside can also be used to refine your flesh, strengthen your life essence, and strengthen your body."
Ji Inran left his arms and immediately sat down cross-legged to heal her injuries.
She had lost too much of her life essence.
At this time, Lanlan was lying in the stone forest outside the cave to recover its energy.
Jun Wu Xie also came to the stone forest and spread out his divine sense to be on guard.
When Lanlan recovered to its peak state, it would be its turn to be on guard. Meanwhile, he began to study the Dao Formula of the Three Great Chaos Supreme Theurgies.
He didn't know if he had enough time to touch the threshold of the Dao Formula.
He had spent too much time in that broken universe to study the Dou Formula and the Yu Formula, the two Great Chaos Supreme Theurgies.
However, his soul realm was only at the peak of the half-saint realm at that time. Now, his soul realm had broken through to the Saint realm.
A cultivator's ability to comprehend spells, theurgies, and secret arts was directly proportional to the strength of their soul.
No matter how high one's comprehension was, if the soul realm was too weak, it wouldn't be able to comprehend the profound secret arts very well.
A powerful soul could give a cultivator a deeper understanding of all things in the world.
If a person's soul realm was so low that he couldn't even sense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, no matter how high his comprehension ability was, he wouldn't be able to comprehend the essence of the secret art. He wouldn't even be able to understand the principles and principles described in the secret art, let alone comprehend its mysteries.
Right now, they were trapped in the Saint Broken Mountain.
Since the Han Clan had activated this Sealing Array, it meant that they were determined to capture them.
Once the threat of the Dark Curse was resolved, the Han Clan would definitely send out a large number of experts to search for their whereabouts.
If he could master the Dao Character Formula, it would be of great help to him in dealing with the Han Clan experts.
A day passed quickly.
Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up.
His eyes were still closed as he continued to deduce the mysteries of the Step Formula in his mind, simulating its steps.
His body moved according to his spirit.
He began to walk, shuttling back and forth within a radius of tens of meters. His steps were very strange, and the trajectory of his footsteps defied common sense.
"No … No …"
He kept his eyes closed as he frowned slightly. His Saint-level soul repeatedly used different methods to deduce the Dao Character Formula. His footsteps matched his thoughts as he repeatedly practiced, leaving countless footprints in the stone forest.
…
Time passed quickly, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
The city where the Han Clan was located was filled with gloomy clouds.
All the higher-ups of the Han Clan were gathered in the Clan's Sacred Palace.
The ten Patriarchs were all here, and their faces were extremely gloomy.
Their faces were pale, and their essence, energy, and spirit were greatly depleted.
For the past few days, they had spent all their time on resolving the Dark Curse.
Now, they had finally found the last trace of the Dark Curse that had been hiding in the clan and the city, and imprisoned it with an ancient artifact.
They had used countless methods in an attempt to destroy the Dark Curse, but none of them had succeeded.
"How much did the Han Clan lose this time?"
One of the Patriarchs looked at the Patriarch of the Han Clan and asked with a gloomy face.
The Patriarch of the Han Clan, Han Joongki's face twitched a few times as he replied, "Patriarch, in terms of resources, our clan's newly obtained Dao Merging Flower, as well as the rare treasures in the herb farm, the Spirit-gathering Saint Pearl in the ancient well, and the spiritual soil and mutant soil in the herb farm have all been lost!"
The faces of the Patriarchs of the Han Clan and the other higher-ups twitched violently.
"Damn it! We went through so much trouble to steal the Dao Merging Flower from that girl from the outside world, and now it's stolen just like that! "
One of the higher-ups of the Han Clan gritted his teeth.
"How much did we lose?"
The Patriarch of the Han Clan continued to ask. They had been busy resolving the Dark Curse, and did not have the time to personally count their losses.
"An ultimate celestial Medicine Elder, 37 greater celestial quasi-elders, 60 lesser celestial guardians, and more than a hundred lesser celestials. Glory Sect, Ancestral Emperor, and other people below the Half-Sage realm have lost more than a thousand people …"
Han Joongki reported the numbers, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
When the other Patriarchs heard the numbers, they were so angry that their hair stood on end.
A terrifying aura was emitted from the bodies of the Patriarchs of the Han Clan, causing the temperature of the entire Sacred Hall to drop to the extreme. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and even the ultimate celestials could not help but shudder.
The higher-ups of the Han Clan did not say a word. Their eyes were spitting fire as they clenched their fists tightly!
"Immediately select 30 ultimate celestial elders to follow this Patriarch and capture those people who plotted against our Han Clan. And that girl as well. This time, they won't be able to escape even if they grow wings! They entered our Saint Broken Mountain and wreaked havoc in our Han Clan, and they still want to leave alive? That's a fool's dream! They will definitely pay a painful price for this! " The Patriarch then looked at Han Joongki and said, "The few of you, head to the formation core of the forbidden grounds. Use the formation to locate them and share their coordinates with us as soon as possible!"
"Yes, we'll go right away."
Han Joongki made the arrangements for the people to follow the Patriarchs. Then, he led more than ten ultimate celestials out of the hall and headed to the forbidden grounds.
"We'll split into ten groups. Each group will have one Patriarch leading three ultimate celestials. We must capture that damned bastard!"
The Patriarchs of the Han Clan were furious. Other than the time when their ancestors suffered such a loss in the Upper World, when had their Han Clan ever been in such a sorry state?
In this small world with broken order, they were the top predators. Now, someone actually dared to sneak into their ancestral grounds, steal their herb fields, and release the Curse of Darkness, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
Ten Patriarchs who were infinitely close to the Sage realm each led three ultimate celestials out of the Han Clan in a grandiose manner. They went in different directions and began to search the entire world.
Not long after, they received a message from the clan.
Han Joongki and the rest used the formation to find the target and locked onto a few external auras.
…
In the stone forest, Jun Wu Xie's eyes were still closed as she took mysterious steps forward.
He had lost count of how many times he had practiced and tried to do so without stopping.
But still, he had not succeeded in crossing the threshold of the Dao Character Formula.
He felt that he had already touched the threshold, but it was still difficult to cross it.
What was wrong?
"According to the description and explanation of the Dao Character Formula, this Dao Character Formula bypasses the Law of Space and directly involves the Law of Time. It uses the Law of Time to achieve a mysterious and powerful effect … But the Law of Time is too profound. With my current realm and soul at the Sage realm, it's difficult for me to understand the Law of Time …"
Jun Wu Xie thought about it and stopped for the first time.
Just like that, he stood in the middle of the stone forest and quietly pondered.
Time. What was time? What was its mystery?
He pondered for a long time but could not find an answer.
At this moment, a sense of danger arose in his heart. This made his expression change abruptly, and he hurriedly spread out his Divine Telekinesis.
"Yinlan, Qingyu, come out quickly!"
Almost at the same time, Ji Inran and Ling Qingyu rushed out of the cave.
They also sensed that a large number of powerhouses were heading in their direction at this moment.
Without any hesitation, they leaped onto Bluesea's back and activated the Divine Travel Talisman. They passed through the stone forest's domain and quickly left.
Bluesky shuttled through the vast mountain range like a meteor streaking across the sky.
"We've been locked onto!"
Jun Wu Xie looked serious. The powerhouses of the Han Clan were only a few hundred miles away from him and were within the range of his Divine Sense.
When they changed their direction, the powerhouses also changed their direction.
It was as if their real-time location had always been under the control of the powerhouses of the Han Clan.
"Could it be that the Han Clan has planted a tracking mark on Yinlan?"
Ling Qingyu made such an analysis.
"No, I don't have any tracking mark on me. I'm sure of this." Ji Inran gave a very certain answer. She said, "The Han Clan must have found our aura through the Sealing Array and locked onto us. They must have shared our coordinates with the powerhouses who are chasing after us!"
She was a Reincarnated One and had already recovered part of her memories from her previous life. Naturally, she was very knowledgeable.
"If that's the case, we'll be under their pursuit all the time and won't have time to rest and recover. When Bluesea is exhausted, we'll definitely be surrounded by them!"
Jun Wu Xie's heart sank. The current situation was even more dangerous than when he was being chased by Yi Jianfeng, the ancient race's divine beast, and Ling Qingyu.
At that time, he could at least use Bluesea's divine ability to control her and then hide temporarily with the domain to have time to rest.
But now, they had no time to rest at all.
Bluesea's divine ability was also useless. How far could she run with a short period of control?
Once the effects of the divine ability were removed, those people would immediately catch up.
Without rest, Bluesea's speed would naturally slow down. At that time, they would be trapped by the powerhouses of the Han Clan!
"If there's really no other way …"
Jun Wu Xie pondered. If he had no other choice, he might have to summon the Deity Slaying Sword!
If that was the case, he would have to kill all the higher-ups of the Han Clan. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the number of times he could summon the Deity Slaying Sword.
However, he didn't want to do that unless he was truly in a desperate situation.
He had many powerful enemies in the outside world. The Deity Slaying Sword was his strongest trump card and couldn't be used carelessly.
Moreover, there would be powerful foreign enemies in the future. Those extremely powerful ancient families and sects, and even powerhouses from the Upper Realm might descend to the Lower Realm in the near future.
He had to keep a trump card to deal with those dangers.
"Let's go to the South. When I was trapped two days ago, I heard some people in the city talking about a forbidden land south of the Saint Broken Mountain. Everyone there is afraid of it and the Han Clan doesn't dare to set foot there!"
Ji Inran said.
"Alright, let's go to the South!"
Jun Wu Xie directed Bluesea to the South.
That forbidden land must be very terrifying. Otherwise, the Han Clan wouldn't be so afraid.
If they could use that forbidden land to temporarily shake off the Han Clan's pursuit, they could slowly think of a way to escape.
If they fell into a desperate situation in that forbidden land and had no other choice, it wouldn't be too late to summon the Deity Slaying Sword then.
They had already been running for a long time. Now that they were going to the South, it was a long journey.
Bluesea's exhaustion was intense. Without rest, she couldn't recover her energy. Even if she had great medicine to replenish her energy, she couldn't keep up with the speed of consumption.
Their speed gradually slowed down.
The Han Clan experts took turns to chase after them. The distance between them was getting closer.
Jun Wu Xie was getting anxious. Where was that forbidden land? How far was it?
Bluesea was extremely exhausted. His spiritual will could sense that the Han Clan experts had already closed the distance between them and a hundred li.
In fact, he could even see those people.
"Even if you run to the ends of the world, you won't be able to escape from the palms of my clan!"
"There's no way out. Where else can you run to?"
"Damned cultivators from the outside world!"
The Han Clan experts had naturally caught sight of Jun Wu Xie's group as well. This caused the flames of fury in their hearts to burn to an extreme.
Before they saw the person, they had thought that the person who was disrupting their Han Clan was an extreme celestial expert!
Never would they have thought that it was just a young Glory Sect master with a low cultivation!
That young Glory Sect master was together with that woman. Everything went without saying. Other than him, there couldn't be anyone else.
A young Glory Sect master had caused their Han Clan to suffer such heavy losses. This was the greatest humiliation since the establishment of the Han Clan!
"You will die without a doubt. My clan will skin you alive, strip you of your origin, and extract your souls. We will use the cruelest methods in this world to slowly torture your souls. We will make you suffer in agony, despair, and fear. You won't be able to die even if you want to!"
The old ancestor of the Han Clan said coldly. That cold and ruthless voice was like a sudden clap of thunder that resounded through the mountains and rivers. It passed through the sky and into the ears of Jun Wu Xie's group.
"What a joke!" Ji Inran replied coldly, "You Han Clan snatched my Dao-Merging Flower forcefully and forced me into the Saint Broken Mountain to trap me in the city. You coveted my secret technique, bloodline origin, and Dao Fruit. Otherwise, how would things have ended up like this? Now, what right do you have to act like a victim? You only have yourselves to blame! "
"B * stard! It's only right for us to kill you. This is the law of the jungle. How dare you weaklings resist? That's unforgivable! In this world, only the strong ruled supreme. Could it be that you weak little Glory Sects still want to reason with my Han Clan? Then, this ancestor can tell you that my Han Clan is the reason for this Saint Broken Mountain and this Lost World! "
The old ancestor of the Han Clan chased after them while replying in a domineering manner.
