Deep within the Northern Sea Dragon Palace, the Crystal Hall gazes upon the glittering pearls, their reflection shimmering on the seabed.
Ever since the Shrimp Soldier at the Star Gate reported the news, Dragon King Ao Shun had already come out to greet them and was waiting outside the Dragon Palace.
After welcoming everyone into the Crystal Palace, he carefully invited the powerful figures to take their seats. The Dragon King, wearing a black Dragon Mark robe with dragon patterns, looked at the somewhat ferocious dragon head with a smile on his face.
After seeing that Jieyin, Zhunti, Jiang Yun and his entourage had all taken their seats, he then went to his main seat and said with a loud laugh, "Seniors, and Brother Jiang Yun have come from afar. My Northern Sea Dragon Palace is honored to have you here!"
Today, my Dragon Palace will certainly provide a good hospitality for everyone!
"Guards! Quickly, bring the guests to their seats!"
Numerous Clam Maidens and servants filed in, offering Spiritual Fruit and celestial Immortal Wine, filling the room with the aroma of exquisite Jade Nectar.
Ao Shun his cup and said, "Since Senior Mysterious Turtle escaped the tribulation, the North Sea has rarely been so lively. Last time, Brother Jiang Yun came to my Dragon Palace and inquired about some of the situation in Guixu. Later, when things became serious, I also sent a message to everyone."
"You have all come here today, surely to resolve this matter?"
Jieyin, a hint of solemnity appearing between his brows. "What the Dragon King says is correct."
We have all come here because the Land of Guixu harbors a huge conspiracy that concerns the Safety of Primordial Desolation. It is also fraught with danger, so we have no choice but to join forces to find out what is going on.
I've heard that the Guixu have been rife with unusual activity lately, with Chaos Aura overflowing and ferocious beasts running rampant. The Dragon Clan is on the front lines fighting these beasts, so they must have gained some understanding of the situation in the Guixu. Therefore, I've come to exchange some information."
Ao Shun put down his wine cup, his dragon beard trembling slightly, and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, the Guixu are becoming increasingly turbulent."
He raised his hand and waved it, causing ripples in the center of the hall, revealing a map of the North Sea. Black mist surged where Guixu was located, and the faint phantoms of ferocious beasts could be seen swimming around.
"The Kunpeng Clan and my Dragon Clan have been fighting for many years, but recently, due to the changes in Guixu, the two sides have stopped fighting and made peace, jointly establishing a defensive line on the perimeter to prevent Guixu from continuing to expand outwards."
Jiang Yun's gaze sharpened slightly as he asked, "How strong is the ferocious beast after being corrupted by the Chaos Aura?"
Ao Shun sighed, "Ordinary ferocious beasts are not to be feared, but occasionally a few Chaos Descendants comparable to the Great Luo will rush out from the depths of Guixu. If it weren't for the personal presence of several patriarchs, the defense line would probably have collapsed long ago."
The Four Seas Dragon Palace have all sent reinforcements here, and the Immortal Court of the East Sea has also heard of this matter. However, the Immortal Court seems to be plotting something with the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace recently, so it has not paid much attention to these matters. It has only sent two Great Luo Realm cultivators with some subordinates to investigate twice.
Sensing the aura within, the two dared not venture further, hastily made their way back, and that was the end of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unable to believe it.
Is the Immortal Court sensing the troublesome situation here and wanting to protect itself?
Ao Shun pointed to several flashing points of light at the edge of the map, "These are Seal Nodes set up by the two races together, barely preventing the leakage of Chaos Aura."
However, the Land of Guixu are strange; the deeper one goes, the weaker the power of the Heavenly Dao becomes, and even the ancestors dare not easily venture there.
Ao Shun's expression hardened, and he lowered his voice. "Our ancestor once sensed, using Dragon Clan Secret Art, that there was an aura beyond the Quasi-Saint level deep within the Guixu... seemingly asleep, yet also imprisoned by some kind of power." He paused, then took out a scale and handed it to Jieyin, "This item records the Safe Path for the Dragon Clan's exploration. Although it cannot penetrate deep into the core of the Guixu, it can avoid the most dangerous Chaos Whirlpool within."
Upon Zhunti this, Jieyin a glance with Jieyin, seemingly lost in thought.
The Ziwei Star Lord then asked, "Does the Dragon King know of any other anomalies within the Guixu? For example, the Remnant Souls of Chaos Demon Gods, or unusual phenomena Spiritual Treasure?"
Ao Shun his head. "The specifics are hard to ascertain, and the ancestors didn't explain them to me in detail either."
The group was somewhat disappointed. Jieyin the scale handed to him by the Dragon King, scanned it with his divine sense, and found that the route recorded on it was more complete and safer than what they had deduced.
The Jieyin was full of gratitude, saying, "Dragon King, your kindness is truly admirable. This information about the route has been of great help to us."
After the banquet, Jiang Yun and his entourage bid farewell to the Dragon Palace and rode the clouds straight to Guixu.
After the banquet, Jiang Yun and his party bid farewell to Ao Shun and rode their Evasion Light straight towards Guixu.
Outside the Guixu, a thick black fog filled the sky.
Before they even got close, everyone felt their Spiritual Power stagnate, as if being pulled by an invisible force. Jiang Yun used the World Power to protect himself, which finally neutralized the strange gravitational pull.
Looking up, one could only vaguely perceive a huge Whirlpool slowly rotating deep within the black mist, emitting an astonishing attraction.
Outside the Whirlpool, countless ferocious beasts lurked in various parts of the black mist, their scarlet beastly eyes appearing and disappearing in the fog.
The Jieyin glanced around and said in a deep voice, "The ferocious beasts are rampant on the outskirts. If we don't clear them out, it could cause future trouble."
The group understood and immediately took action.
"Let's each choose a direction and clear out the leading ferocious beasts. We'll then gather at the edge of the Whirlpool, how about that?" The Ziwei Star Lord flicked his sleeve, and the Circumference Star Power transformed into a cascading river, instantly annihilating dozens of ferocious beasts.
"Okay." Everyone else nodded.
Jieyin offered up the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus, its Golden Light illuminating all and purifying the Chaos Malevolent Qi. Zhunti 'Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree swept across, and wherever the seven-colored light passed, all the ferocious beasts collapsed. The Two cleaned up in one direction.
Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun also used their own methods to attack in another direction. Hong Yun's Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd was really the most suitable for group attacks in this kind of place, and its efficiency was even higher than that of the others.
Jiang Yun then activated the Inner World Acupoints Power, enveloping himself in the World Power to isolate himself from the erosion of the Guixu Aura. With the Black Tortoise on his shoulder, he charged directly toward an abnormal area that his Primordial Spirit had swept over.
The aura emanating from the Guixu is indeed strange, filled with a power of mutation. One could easily be corrupted by this power, lose one's mind, and become a puppet. Moreover, this power seems to be able to resist the power of the Heavenly Dao, partially isolating the power of the Heavenly Dao in this place, making it impossible for people to communicate smoothly with the Heavenly Dao Laws.
Along the way, they encountered some ferocious beasts at the Golden Immortal and Taiyi. Jiang Yun and the Black Tortoise casually erased their lost souls, leaving the beast corpses behind and throwing them into their Inner World for the Good Corpse to study.
Upon entering the abnormal area, Jiang Yun discovered that several Chaos Mutant Species of the Great Luo level were hidden there. They were clear-headed and unlike the corrupted ferocious beasts outside. They were likely from within the Guixu.
What's most surprising is that they actually knew how to use the strange power of the Guixu to set up a Protective Barrier to isolate them from detection. This was probably not prepared for Jiang Yun and his group, but rather to scheme against the Great Luo warriors of the Dragon Clan and Kunpeng Clan.
They were unlucky to run into Jiang Yun and his group who came to explore Guixu. Jiang Yun hadn't tested his skills since his Physical Body advanced to Quasi-Saint, so he took advantage of these few Chaos Descendants to have a go.
Without using Magical Power or the World Power, he easily blasted the Great Luo -level Chaos Descendants into dust with just his powerful Physical Body. Not satisfied at all, he continued his search...
In just five hundred years, the area surrounding the Guixu was cleared, and the Chaos Aura emanating from it was swept away. The influence of the Guixu shrank back to a place less than ten thousand miles outside the Whirlpool.
The cultivators from the Four Seas Dragon Clan and the Northern Darkness Kunpeng Clan who were patrolling in the distance breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and their expressions relaxed. They bowed and thanked the group from afar.
"Let's go, it's time to enter the Guixu." Jieyin away the Dragon Scale Route Map and stepped into the Whirlpool first, followed closely by Jiang Yun and the others, their figures disappearing into the Chaos.
