The Falling Dragon Abyss wasn't very vast.
Jun Wu Xie and Ye Qingxue held hands as they strolled along the riverbank. Gradually, they arrived at the end of the river.
In front of them was a mountain so high that they couldn't see its peak. There was a cave at the foot of the mountain, and the river flowed deep into it.
Jun Wu Xie pulled Ye Qingxue to sit on a bluestone by the river.
The calm river didn't ripple at all. It was like a pool of stagnant water.
The dark green water was very thick, and it looked a little scary.
Ye Qingxue looked at the green river and said, "Do you know how dangerous this place is?"
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head. The moment the person who had been locked up woke up, he had understood just how terrifying this place was.
No wonder no one who entered the Falling Dragon Abyss had survived.
That person would wake up every short period of time, and every time he did, a peerlessly terrifying aura would spread out. Who could resist it?
"It's far more terrifying than you think." Ye Qingxue pointed at the river and said, "The water here is polluted by a dark green substance. Anyone who touches it will die. In here, no one below the Emperor-level can survive. "
"What?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at her in shock. No one below the Emperor-level can survive?
There were many realms below the Emperor-level. Didn't that mean that no one in the myriad realms could survive here?
"When you jumped down, Youyi knew that you had no chance of survival, so she helped you. She also informed me of this in a timely manner, and I returned to your side from the upper reaches of the River of Time and Space."
"So that warm energy came from Youyi …"
Jun Wu Xie was taken aback. When he thought about it, who else in his body besides Youyi could have protected him in time?
"What is this place? How can there be such a terrifying existence? That sealed person on the altar, is he a Emperor-level powerhouse? "
"A contaminated Emperor-level powerhouse. From the looks of it, he must have been fighting against the pollution, which is why he fell into a deep slumber. However, the pollution is too powerful, so he will wake up every short period of time. At that time, he will go berserk and become extremely terrifying. Fortunately, an expert set up a trap here back then, trapping all the Emperor-level power in the mountain stream. Otherwise, the all-heavens would have long become a land of death. "
"The corpses of the three True Dragons and their coffins …"
Ye Qingxue's expression turned solemn when she heard this, and she said, "That might be what I'm looking for …"
Jun Wu Xie's facial muscles twitched a few times. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that it has something to do with the Abyssal Plague you're investigating? "
Ye Qingxue nodded. She indicated that the Abyssal Plague might have existed much earlier than her era.
Its origins were most likely from the Boundless Era before Immortal Ancient.
Based on the clues she had gathered, she deduced that the Abyssal Plague was related to one of the strongest beings in the Era of No Beginning.
Back then, that supreme being ruled over the heavens, and the forces he established were prosperous and glorious to the extreme.
However, one day, that supreme expert suddenly disappeared without a trace. Many experts by his side turned into indescribable monsters, releasing a dark green plague poison that spread throughout the world, causing a world-destroying disaster.
That supreme being's forces suddenly underwent such a huge change, but he did not appear. It was very illogical.
"So you're saying that the most powerful being had concocted the plague poison himself and infected the people around him, turning them all into monsters?" Jun Wu Xie asked incredulously. "Why would he do such a thing? There's no reason for him to harm his own people. Besides, there's no need for him to do that, right? "
"The truth of the matter is still unknown. That supreme being must be related to the Abyssal Plague. As for whether he was the one who created it, it's hard to say. As for what happened back then, it's very difficult for us later generations to find out the truth. The Era of No Beginning was destroyed, and almost all civilizations were cut off, leaving behind too few clues. "
"That indescribable monster you're talking about, what does it look like?"
Jun Wu Xie was very curious. What kind of shape could be called an indescribable monster?
"I've never seen it with my own eyes. I've only gathered information from some clues I found. However, I think I'll know what an indescribable monster looks like very soon. "
Jun Wu Xie's eyelids twitched. "Do you want to open the coffin?"
"Yes."
"No!" Jun Wu Xie's heart was thumping with fear as she said: "The person who was chained upon the altar was already an Emperor level powerhouse. With the coffin being pulled by three True Dragons, the existence buried within must be even more terrifying than the people outside! It's very likely that such a person is still alive! Your condition is too far from your peak, and you have less than ten percent of your strength left. I'm afraid that an accident will happen … "
"I'll join forces with You Yi. Nothing will happen." Ye Qingxue stood up and pointed into the distance. "There's mutant soil over there. Although its essence has almost all been lost and its quality is extremely low, it can still be used to plant the Dao Integration Flower. It can still bear fruit suitable for you to consume. You have to raise your cultivation level as soon as possible. There's not much time left in the universe outside. The world is about to descend into chaos, and you're pressed for time. Once the passage to the Dark Realm is connected, you can only rely on yourselves to deal with it. At that time, we won't be able to intervene. Even your God Slaying Sword won't intervene at that time. "
Jun Wu Xie's heart sank.
He already knew that Ye Qingxue wouldn't intervene, but he didn't expect the God Slaying Sword to not intervene either.
He originally thought that when the flood of the world arrived, the God Slaying Sword's divine might would be able to protect the capital city well, turning it into a pure land. Now, it seemed that it was all just a fantasy.
They returned to their original position.
At this time, the Vermilion Bird's figure suddenly appeared.
"Qing Xue, You Yi, you have to be careful!"
Jun Wu Xie was somewhat apprehensive.
"Young Master, don't worry. Go and do your own thing. Raise your cultivation level to the half-step Sage realm in this deep stream. At that time, you can rely on your own methods to fight against the Han Clan and leave the Saint Broken Mountain. You can only rely on yourself to face this matter. We won't help you. "
The Vermilion Bird directly said.
Jun Wu Xie was somewhat speechless. He didn't want her or Ye Qingxue to intervene in the first place.
"Go."
After the Vermilion Bird finished speaking, she waved her sleeves. Jun Wu Xie felt his body and the earth moving backwards at an extremely fast speed. A golden-red barrier divided the bottom of the deep stream into two, separating them from the middle.
Jun Wu Xie stared blankly at the golden-red barrier in front of him. Not to mention seeing outside the barrier, he couldn't even hear the sounds outside.
"Wuxie."
"Bad embryo."
When the Vermilion Bird's golden barrier appeared, the barrier that enveloped Ji Inran and Ling Qingyu disappeared.
They all stepped forward.
"That woman is …?"
Ling Qingyu looked at him with a shocked expression. Who was this bad embryo? How could such a powerful woman appear to help him?
Moreover, the relationship between them seemed to be unusual.
Before Jun Wu Xie could speak, Ji Inran answered for him, "That is the War Saint, the strongest person in our lower realm. Wuxie is the War Saint's disciple."
"War Saint?" Ling Qingyu was in a daze. She looked at Jun Wu Xie with a puzzled expression, "Bad embryo, is that true? Aren't there no Saint Stage experts in the lower realm? Could it be someone from the Restricted Area? Moreover, even a Saint Stage expert wouldn't have such means … "
"You underestimate the lower realm. Since you know about the Restricted Area, you should know how terrifying the experts in the Restricted Area are. Are there no existences above the Saint Stage?"
Jun Wu Xie said.
Ling Qingyu was speechless for a moment, but she didn't continue to ask.
No wonder this bad embryo was so powerful. It turned out that he had such an unfathomable master behind him.
"Alright, let's hurry up and cultivate. I want to break through to the Half-Saint Stage as soon as possible. Then, I will leave this place and go to the Han Clan to see the scenery."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the depths of the Restricted Area.
Ji Yinlan naturally understood what he was relying on. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she followed him.
Ling Qingyu stared blankly at his back.
He dared to go to the Han Clan to see the scenery after breaking through to the Half-Saint Stage?
She couldn't think of any methods or confidence Jun Wu Xie had to go against the Han Clan after breaking through to the Half-Saint Stage. It was too unrealistic. It was like a fantasy story.
They walked all the way to a corner covered by a huge rock at the bottom of the Restricted Area.
There was a piece of soil here that was suffused with a faint glow.
Ling Qingyu's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, "This is a foreign soil!"
The quality of the foreign soil here wasn't high, but it was very rich. It was more than ten times richer than the foreign soil in the Han Clan's herb farm. It was just that the quality wasn't as high.
Jun Wu Xie transplanted the Harmony Flower.
The roots of the Harmony Flower touched the foreign soil and quickly took root. It greedily and crazily absorbed the foreign soil's vital energy.
Every petal of the flower started to emit a hazy glow. Mysterious energy gathered in the center of the flower. Something was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"So fast?"
Jun Wu Xie was surprised and overjoyed. The Harmony Flower was forming fruits. At this speed, it would only take slightly more than ten days to bear ripe fruits!
He wondered how many times the foreign soil here could support the Harmony Flower to bear fruits.
"Little girl, we'll have to stay here for quite some time. By then, your source energy should be completely recovered. Yinlan, you should start cultivating too. We'll strive to break through to the Half-Saint Stage together. "
Ling Qingyu didn't say anything. She silently walked to the side and started to heal her injuries.
She naturally hoped to recover as soon as possible. If her source energy was recovered, she wouldn't have to fear the Han Clan anymore. As long as she didn't barge into the Han Clan's ancestral land, no matter how many powerful cultivators the Han Clan had, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Ji Inran walked further away.
She opened her palm and a crystal-like object flew out. It floated in the air and emitted the light of runes.
Two figures that looked exactly like her were formed by the crystal-like runes. They wielded swords and attacked her.
In an instant, she was engaged in a fierce battle with the two clones.
Ling Qingyu saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but be stunned.
'Are that bad guy and his woman all so perverted?'
'They're actually using this method to cultivate and fight with their own clones. Moreover, it's one against two. They're releasing the power of the Fruit of Dao during the battle to increase their cultivation level.'
Jun Wu Xie was also a little surprised. It turned out that Ji Inran was really using this method to increase her cultivation level and fight with her two clones.
'Has she been doing this all these years?'
He watched for a moment and felt relieved when he saw that she was very steady against her two clones.
The Harmony Flower needed time to bear fruit. Before that, if she refined resources to increase her cultivation level, although the speed wasn't slow, it wouldn't be very meaningful. After all, once she consumed the Harmony Fruit, she would be able to break through in an extremely short time.
"I'd better continue to study the Attainment Formula."
Before he started, he let Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, and Yan Ruyu out of the grotto-heaven.
The three girls looked around and asked where they were.
Jun Wu Xie told them the general situation. They also saw Ji Inran and Ling Qingyu, who were cultivating.
"Now, all of you go and cultivate. Make good use of the time."
Jun Wu Xie gave them a share of all the resources he had.
They didn't say much. They understood that their current situation was very bad. They each found a place and entered a state of cultivation.
"The Attainment Formula involves the domain of time. What is time?"
He began to deduce the mysteries of the Attainment Formula in his mind. His feet also moved along with it.
However, it was still difficult to take the final step.
When he comprehended the Secular Sword Intent, the River of Time also involved time. The difference was that it was a general concept of time. He didn't need to understand the essence of time at all.
Now, cultivating the Attainment Formula was different. He needed to understand the essence of time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cross the threshold of this kind of Abhijna secret technique.
