Gu Yang Dies, Wen Guang Flees!

"In the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called Buting, where the Rong River ends. There are people with three bodies. Emperor Shun's wife, Ehuang, gave birth to this Three-Bodied Kingdom. They are of the Yao surname, eat millet, and command four birds. There is a deep pool in all four directions, with all four corners leading to it. The north belongs to the Blackwater, and the south belongs to the Great Wilderness. The northern side is called the Pool of Shaohe, and the southern side is called the Cong Abyss, where Shun bathed."

Shaohe Abyss is hidden in the Buiting Mountain, beyond the reach of the naked eye.

Only True Immortal, sensing the heavens and earth, can discern the location of the entrance and leap inside.

Lu Qingfeng stepped on the Xuanji, concealing his figure and aura, and silently followed behind the six True Immortal, including Shang Yang and Wen Guang, in Rotten Peach Mountain Gu Yang.

Quietly, they sneaked into Shaohe Abyss.

"Shaohe Abyss."

Upon entering, Lu Qingfeng saw that Shaohe Abyss was completely dark, with no sun, no moon, no sky, and no earth, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Moreover, looking into the depths of the darkness, although it was pitch black and difficult to see anything, he vaguely felt that this Black Abyss seemed to have a life of its own, and its breath made his blood and heart stagnate, causing him great discomfort.

A heavy sense of oppression washed over me, impossible to resist from any direction.

"If a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit enters, their physical body and soul will be crushed."

Furthermore, given the unknown existence deep within the Black Abyss, it's no wonder that only True Immortal can enter.

Lu Qingfeng, still True Immortal, entered with an open and unassuming manner.

He opened his third eye between his brows, and the Grand Luo Insight swept across the surroundings. Even in the extreme darkness that swallowed the light, he could see as if it were daytime. As if in a silent void, islands, mountains, and even rivers appeared out of thin air, adorning the Black Abyss.

The mountain peak has no roots.

The river has no source.

"This is truly a mysterious place."

Lu Qingfeng casually glanced around and noticed that some of the peaks were small, only two or three miles in circumference. Others, however, stood alone and proud, reaching heights of several thousand feet. Within these mountains lurked fish and insects, as well as birds and beasts, all possessing formidable physical strength and exuding a rich and powerful Blood Qi.

They were all beings capable of withstanding the strange pressure from Shaohe Abyss.

Their souls and bodies are integrated, resulting in low intelligence, but at the same time, without the burden of their souls, they can unleash their strongest power in the Shaohe Abyss.

An ordinary True Immortal is no match for him.

"According to Yao Sihai, there is a strange and ferocious beast with triplets from the same mother guarding Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain. Even a True Immortal at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm would be no match for it and would be defeated at the first touch."

Shaohe Abyss Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine in Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

The water in the Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine Spirit-Infiltrating Water.

Lu Qingfeng's trip was not about casting a wide net and blindly searching through Shaohe Abyss. Instead, he headed straight for the 'Spirit-Nourishing True Liquid' in Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

"I cultivate using the Great Enlightenment Method. Each Enlightenment requires the exhaustion of my spirit and soul, which is equivalent to two hundred years of arduous cultivation. However, even with ample elixirs to replenish the spirit and soul, it takes about a year to recover."

"The cost was considerable."

"It will take even more time."

Each Enlightenment lasts at most half an hour, but Lu Qingfeng needs at least a year to recover, which is indeed a pity. However, Enlightenment relies on the power of the divine soul and cannot be done recklessly, so Lu Qingfeng has no other choice.

However, the 'Spirit-Nourishing True Liquid' is an extraordinary spiritual water.

"If I can obtain enough 'Spirit-Nourishing True Liquid', I can use the Great Enlightenment Method without restraint, thoroughly comprehend all kinds of Divine Ability and numerous great techniques, and improve as quickly as possible."

There are 4380 hours in a year.

If one continuously performs the "Enlightenment" technique, it is equivalent to nearly a million years of arduous cultivation.

Certainly.

First, you need 4,380 drops of 'Spirit-Nourishing True Liquid' (a type of elixir).

Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

Wen Guang and Gu Yang each led two True Immortal and landed in the mountains.

Lu Qingfeng concealed himself and stood openly beside Gu Yang, who remained oblivious. The darkness within Shaohe Abyss made it difficult to discern anything; it was only because the True Immortal of Rotten Peach Mountain had left a token in Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain beforehand that Wen Guang and Gu Yang were able to find them.

Otherwise, even if you memorize the directions in advance, it will be of no use.

The terrain in the Black Abyss is constantly changing, with mountains and rivers shifting at every moment, making it extremely difficult to find one's way by relying on memory.

There were indeed True Immortal who crafted countless talismans for locating directions, allowing them to be released when encountering mountains and concealed when encountering water. Unfortunately, under the influence of Shaohe Abyss's strange power, even eighth-tier Law Artifact would lose their spiritual Radiance within one or two years. For those below the eighth tier, the effect was even more temporary, lasting from several months to a few days or hours.

It's not very useful.

If Immortal Artifact is used as a token, even Earth Immortal would likely lack the wealth and power to do so.

"Now that we have arrived at Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain..."

Lu Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at Gu Yang and the True Immortal beside him. His figure swayed, and a Daoist nun stepped out from among them. Holding a divine sword, she stirred up wind and rain, instantly enveloping Gu Yang and the other six True Immortal, including Wen Guang.

Mist and rain swirled around.

Rain started to fall in the wind.

In an instant, murderous intent descended, and great terror was imminent.

"Misty-Rain Sword!"

"'Sword Demon' Lin Ye?!"

The sudden attack startled Gu Yang. Seeing Yan Yu and noticing the newcomer was dressed as a Daoist nun, he immediately guessed her identity. Enraged, Gu Yang raised an eyebrow, revealing a fierce expression. Smoke swirled around his fingertips, a wisp of white smoke, subtly colored, streaking like a bolt of lightning, poised to strike the Daoist nun.

This is a secret treasure that Gu Yang spent tens of thousands of years collecting poisonous miasma from Rotten Peach Mountain to refine. It is a poisonous miasma treasure modeled after the 'Five-Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma' of the Redwood Ridge lineage.

Although it did not Immortal Artifact, it is still a rare Law Artifact among the eighth-tier artifacts.

It is called 'Soul-Dazing Miasma'.

Only.

Before the 'Soul-Dazing Miasma' even made a move, Gu Yang felt immense pressure on his body. His Law Power stagnated, and he even found it difficult to concentrate his mind for a moment.

Invisible force field.

Immense pressure.

Ling Gu Yang paused.

The other four True Immortal beside him were in the same situation.

In a battle between True Immortal, a single misstep can be fatal. The Daoist nun, wielding a divine sword, unleashed a misty rain. The fine, misty rain, nourishing all things silently, seeped through the rifts in the void, surging in from all directions.

Boom!

Boom!

Several loud explosions blasted the four True Immortal, including Gu Yang, to smithereens. The four Primordial Spirit flew out, but were also scattered by the Misty-Rain Sword. Only one True Spirit disappeared into the depths of the void and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

And in the middle.

Wen Guang reacted quickly, holding Golden Ring, not only protecting himself but also protecting a True Immortal beside him.

"This man is ferocious; we cannot defeat him by force!"

Wen Guang suddenly shouted.

With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed Purple-Gold Alms Bowl. Immediately, two streams of golden-blue light, like dragons drawing water, shot from the bowl's opening and hung high in the air. These two streams of light were extremely powerful, separating and merging at will, briefly entangling the Daoist nun.

Wen Guang dared not hesitate.

He used the Golden Ring in his hand to protect his body and the True Immortal beside him. In an instant, Golden Light flashed, and he rushed towards the dark abyss outside Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

"They escaped quickly!"

With a single sword strike, the Daoist nun knocked the Purple-Gold Alms Bowl from the sky, sending it flying beyond the mountain and disappearing without a trace.

However, they did not pursue them.

Outside Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

Wen Guang's face was grim.

"Thank you, Marshal, for saving my life!"

Beside him, Zhang Ran was even more terrified, feeling as if he Yu Sheng, and bowed deeply to Wen Guang.

If Wen Guang hadn't intervened, he would have ended up like Gu Yang and the other three True Immortal, dying and having his soul dissipate.

I was momentarily shocked, then relieved.

Wen Guang waved his hand.

Turning his head to look at the Qinshen Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain, hidden in the darkness not far away, his expression turned solemn—

"To stir up wind and rain."

"The Divine Sword Daoist Nun".

Wen Guang turned to look at the True Immortal Zhang Ran beside him, "It's Lin Ye, the 'Sword Demon' Sha Yutang Sage-Welcoming Peak!"

The Saha Demon Cult, Redwood Ridge, Hundred Barbarians Mountain, and Sword Immortal Sect are constantly clashing with each other. Rotten Peach Mountain and Sage-Welcoming Peak have had considerable friction, and Rotten Peach Mountain is naturally familiar with the people of Sage-Welcoming Peak.

The Daoist nun appeared.

Not only Gu Yang, but Wen Guang also recognized the person.

"It is indeed Lin Ye."

Zhang Ran chimed in, "I never expected Lin Ye to be so capable. Not only could he follow us silently, but he also killed Marshal Gu Yang and the other three generals with a single sword strike."

He had followed Wen Guang for a long time and had even led troops in fierce battles against the Sha Yutang. He had seen the newly appointed leader of the Sha Yutang personally lead his troops into battle. At that time, the one who fought against him was none other than Guangyuan, who was standing beside him. Yet, the two were clearly evenly matched.

But today it possesses such ferocity.

This truly puzzled Zhang Ran.

"They've probably been hiding their true strength all along!"

Wen Guang said.

Zhang Ran was unaware, but he certainly knew. Lin Ye cultivated the "Killing Water-Rain" technique within the Killing Division the Saha Demon Cult Sect, which, while not bad, only made him slightly stronger than top-tier True Immortal like Gu Yang, thanks to his divine sword.

To say that he could instantly kill Gu Yang would be difficult, even with a sneak attack.

However, Lu Qingfeng personally arrived and secretly suppressed Gu Yang and the other True Immortal, coordinating with the 'Lin Ye' clone. With such a sudden and unexpected attack, how could Gu Yang possibly escape?

"This woman is difficult to deal with; we must inform the cave master immediately."

Wen Guang's expression was serious as he looked at Zhang Ran beside him. "General Zhang, please return to Rotten Peach Mountain immediately, inform the cave master of the changes here, and send someone to provide assistance!"

"Marshal, be careful!"

Zhang Ran accepted the order, knowing that the Sha Yutang was beyond their ability to handle. So he quickly flew away and fled towards the outside of Shaohe Abyss.

They've gone to call for reinforcements!

Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng and Lin Ye stood side by side.

A faint light shone in the mountains, enough to make one see. Lu Qingfeng scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, searching for the location of Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine. As his Divine Sense swept across, he saw a babbling brook flowing through the desolate mountains.

A clear spring forms in a gently sloping, low-lying area.

The spring was as clear as a mirror, its bottom covered with fine white sand. Countless water droplets rose from the sand to the surface, forming tiny bubbles. A gentle breeze would burst these bubbles, scattering them in countless circles. Two feet tall, lush green moss grew sparsely in the water, swaying freely.

"Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine"

Lu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow, sensing the strange aura within, and immediately knew it was the location of Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine. He flew through the air, heading straight for Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine. However, beside the clear spring in the ravine, three streams of energy rose up, fierce and unrestrained, as if they had been provoked, and shot straight into the sky, attacking Lu Qingfeng.

"Three bedbugs!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Five-colored rays of light shot out from above, suppressing even the void. The three ferocious beasts, covered in scales and resembling crocodiles, flew into the air, their forms suddenly freezing. 'Lin Ye's' clone was beside him, and with a gentle wave of the Raindrop Divine Sword, mist and rain formed a shower. With a twist and turn, the three ferocious beasts' fierce eyes instantly lost their luster, and they fell to the ground.

He was clearly dead.

With Lu Qingfeng's current cultivation level, he could truly slaughter True Immortal as easily as slaughtering a dog.

His strength is comparable to that of Earth Immortal.

"Take a look."

"Just how much Spirit-Nourishing True Liquid Spirit-Infiltrating Ravine is contained in that made Yao Sihai send out two of his top generals in one go?!"

With the ferocious beast no longer blocking his way, Lu Qingfeng flew forward, opened his third eye between his eyebrows, and landed on the clear spring with the Grand Luo Insight.

Not long after.

A look of joy appeared on his face.
