The place where I stood was one of the three thousand pillars of the Spirit-Qi Great Wall. Looking up from the base, I saw the pillar soaring straight into the heavens; the seabed in those days must have been unfathomably deep.
Of the three thousand pillars, it was said that a third had already collapsed. Over the course of ten thousand years, whether due to rampaging demons and monsters or sea demons unaffected by the Spirit-Qi Sea destroying them, the pillars had suffered one disaster after another.
These pillars had been forged from Origin Immortal Iron. Though their value was limited, they were still more precious than ordinary gold and iron. On top of that, after carrying powerful spiritual energy for all these years, they had naturally attracted some covetous demon beasts and Magic Beasts.
The nearby Immortal Academies would also dispatch disciples to inspect the Origin Immortal Iron in their respective territories. However, after so many years, they had grown lax. Unless exotic species ran rampant, it was difficult to rouse their sense of danger.
I sensed a faint aura of an abnormal law within and could not help slightly furrowing my brows.
It was the faint attraction caused by the extraction of the spatial law. If we went farther inside, I believed that sensation would become much stronger.
"Friend Xia, did you sense that something was wrong?" the middle-aged male instructor asked with concern.
Because I had come with the purpose of investigating, and so that I could obtain the latest information along the way, Chengjian Immortal Academy had sent out three of its most elite elders.
The one who had asked whether I sensed something amiss was Ao Jiangu, the foremost sword cultivator of Chengjian Immortal Academy's current generation and the leader of this trio.
