After exiting the Awakened Sky Cosmos, Yan Zhaoge and the others felt the formless yet tangible barrier of the Awakened Sky Cosmos fading away. Then, they stepped into the void’s boundless outskirts and headed into the distance.
Along the way, Feng Yunsheng said, “I’ll first search for the clues left behind by Patriarch Daoist Hang in Golden Court Mountain’s Jade House Cave, and then I’ll meet you there.”
“Be careful.” Yan Zhaoge nodded, saying softly.
Feng Yunsheng smiled faintly, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Gao Qingxuan frowned slightly, “This feeling … is just like Jian Shunhua achieving the Five Qis Unification and Twin Flowers Converged Crown. Is it fine?”
“Senior Gao, don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “This was Yunsheng’s decision after much consideration. It did not affect her will, just that … she adjusted her martial path slightly.”
Gao Qingxuan’s brows gradually relaxed, “It’s harmful for others to do it, but it’s fine for her. As long as she can control it carefully, it’ll be fine.”
A person’s martial arts concept and path were often unchanging.
This was related to the cultivation of certain martial arts, but the same martial arts would often have different results when practiced by different people.
It wasn’t that it was impossible to seek innovation and change, but it was often more harmful than beneficial to change one’s ways easily, or the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
However, Feng Yunsheng had a unique advantage in this aspect.
Due to her special experiences, it wasn’t difficult for her to absorb and even alter the martial arts intent of the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua. It also didn’t affect her cultivation of the Shifting Abyss Chaos Extermination.
Jian Shunhua’s martial intent actually didn’t conflict with the Luoyuan Primal Chaos Annihilation.
Otherwise, Jian Shunhua wouldn’t have come up with such a shocking plan all those years ago.
It was just that Feng Yunsheng hadn’t developed in that direction before.
It was not that she was afraid that Jian Shunhua might have left behind any future troubles. After so many years, Feng Yunsheng had absolute confidence in herself.
It was just that her style had always been incompatible with Jian Shunhua’s.
However, in the past few decades, Feng Yunsheng had been constantly cultivating in seclusion, and her martial arts intent was undergoing a new transformation and development.
As for whether it would result in a sublimation, that would require time to verify.
Recalling Feng Yunsheng’s expression when she had made this decision that year, Yan Zhaoge exhaled lightly.
Xue Fei patted his shoulder.
Yan Zhaoge nodded. They did not stop as they headed towards the depths of space.
Just like the last time when they were searching for the Immortal Trapping Sword, it was another long and arduous journey.
However, as they walked, the expressions of Yan Zhaoge and the others gradually turned solemn.
With their current cultivation and strength, they were extremely sensitive to the changes in the void. They could vaguely feel that they were gradually approaching the border of the Nine Underworlds by following the guidance of the talisman and the Immortal Trapping Sword.
“Although it’s hard to tell directions in the void, the Nine Underworlds shouldn’t have invaded this universe, right?”
Yan Zhaoge asked with some uncertainty, “The known land of tranquil stream is very far away from here.”
After pondering for a moment, Gao Qingxuan answered, “If a Grand Heavenly Realm Devil Lord were to take action, he could corrode a portion of the void and transform it into a Devilish Domain. However, if the Nine Underworlds weren’t connected afterward, the Devilish Domain might gradually dissipate and degenerate into the land of tranquil streams. In the future, it might even revert back to the void of the universe. Only, it would be very barren.”
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, “However, if the bones of a Great Devil were buried here, it might exist forever.”
“If a Devilish Domain was formed, the Grand Heavenly Realm or Grand Virtual Realm experts would be able to discover it from afar.” Xue Fei frowned.
“If a Great Devil was proficient in concealment, its miraculous abilities wouldn’t dissipate even after its death. As such, it would be very hard to discover it.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “Even if a Grand Heavenly Realm expert were to pass by, it would be hard to notice it. One would have to get very close to it to discover it.”
They were able to notice it from afar because of Yan Zhaoge’s secret art using the Immortal Trapping Sword.
In other words, the Devilish Domain might contain traces of the Immortal Extermination Sword or the Lord of Broad Accomplishment, which was why they were able to notice it from afar.
“During the Great Calamity, the Lord of Broad Accomplishment Grand Master was nearby and fought against the Nine Underworlds Great Devils …” said Xue Fei slowly.
They looked at each other and frowned.
Currently, they were very sensitive towards the Nine Underworlds.
“The Cyclic Heavenly Seal shattered, and the Lord of Broad Accomplishment Grand Master remained hidden throughout the ages. I’m afraid that the situation isn’t looking good.”
Yan Zhaoge’s expression turned solemn, “However, if the Lord of Broad Accomplishment Grand Master met with misfortune, where’s the Immortal Extermination Sword now?”
“We have to be more cautious. However, no matter what, we have to investigate it first.” Gao Qingxuan looked at the Immortal Trapping Sword in her palm.
Yan Zhaoge and Xue Fei nodded in agreement, and the group continued forward.
After a while, everyone’s heart jolted slightly. They stopped and looked around.
Yan Zhaoge nodded towards Gao Qingxuan. Gao Qingxuan wielded the Immortal Trapping Sword and slashed forward.
Dark-red sword-lights instantly rose and fell everywhere.
Suddenly, a wound seemed to have been slashed open by the Immortal Trapping Sword.
However, clumps of black fog flowed out from this wound.
The black fog gave off a viscous feeling. However, it also seemed to be weightless.
Spatial cracks were slashed open by the dark-red sword-lights one after another. Then, layers of black fog surged out from within. As if a dam had been breached, it spread everywhere.
Upon seeing this, Yan Zhaoge and the others’ expressions remained unchanged, and they continued forward.
“Same as before. I’ll stand guard outside, and you all enter to investigate,” said Gao Qingxuan. Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Thank you, Senior Gao.”
Upon entering, Yan Zhaoge felt as if he had once again stepped into the Nine Underworlds.
Mournful wails that shook one’s soul resounded. Streaks of blood-red lightning continuously streaked past his eyes, while black fog permeated the surroundings.
Yan Zhaoge, Xue Fei, the North Ocean Clone, and Pan-Pan traversed within.
This place seemed like an independent world, and it was extremely majestic.
After a while, Yan Zhaoge’s eyes lit up. His gaze pierced through the layers of black fog, and landed on the ground beneath.
On the vast and boundless flat land, there seemed to be a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles.
However, the endless mountain range wasn’t made of soil and rocks, but instead, white bones!
When placed flat on the ground, it seemed like a boundless mountain range.
An inestimably colossal skeleton laid on the ground, and its center was clearly fractured.
It was as if a majestic mountain range that stretched across the land had been severed from the middle.
“It looks like a snake.” Xue Fei looked at this scene and pondered, “Did the Demon Race fall to the dark side and enter the Devil’s Dao?
Only, logically speaking, an Evil Devil’s corpse shouldn’t be left behind after perishing. Could it be that the one who killed him was … “
After observing for a while, Yan Zhaoge continued, “That’s right. This is the result of being slain by the Immortal Extermination Sword, which dispelled the Devil’s Dao. As a result, this snake-like existence left behind a skeleton after death, and couldn’t be reborn in the Nine Underworlds.”
He looked around, “However, where’s the Lord of Broad Accomplishment?
Since the clues led us here, this snake-devil’s corpse shouldn’t be the only thing left here. “
