Treading the Night, Chasing the Moon

Xi Yue had not expected that she would get to experience this feeling after all...

No one had ever entered the Kunlun Void after it closed, so no one knew what it was truly like. Qin Yi's premonition that "there would not be much time to pick things up" had indeed been accurate intuition.

After the Kunlun Celestial Light closed, the chaos within exceeded everyone's expectations.

This was not a tranquil place at all.

Whoosh!

Qin Yi held Xi Yue as he fled at top speed, with Breathing Earth surging after them in a wave that blotted out the sky.

It truly grew with the wind, spreading wildly. At this rate, it could fill an entire Earth Element Zone in an instant, only stopping when the laws of the other zones intercepted it.

When the Kunlun Celestial Light had been open, this Breathing Earth had not actively lunged at people like this. Even if traps had been laid in advance, they should only have activated after someone touched them. Earlier, Qin Yi and the dog had crouched nearby to observe; as long as they did not touch it, nothing happened.

Yet this time, the moment they set foot in this region, the Breathing Earth began roaring, as though it would never rest until it had buried them alive.

Xi Yue said from his arms, "I understand now... When the celestial light is sealed, the five elements here cannot find their roots, so they become extremely restless. Once the celestial light opens and heaven and earth connect, they instead calm down. The traps the Heavenly Beings spoke of merely let those who touch them experience what it is like when this place is closed."

As Qin Yi sped through the air, he asked urgently, "Then why was the Thunder Pool fine?"
