Absolute Heaven Abyss had originally formed only gradually, through countless schemes and calculations.
Yet Wang Daoyuan's single sword strike had directly carved open an enormous rift.
If not for the contingencies left behind by the high-level True Demons within that Expeditionary Fortress, that strike might have directly cleaved through the world barrier.
Even so, beneath that strike, both the real world and the spatial world had collapsed, and the world barrier had already been damaged.
If left unchecked, the rift would continue expanding until it destroyed the world barrier and formed a fissure even larger than the Bottom of Absolute Heaven Abyss.
The Returning Origin Sword Immortal glanced at the gorge. "It seems that strike did not completely destroy the world barrier. It should still be repairable."
Wang Daoyuan nodded. "It can indeed be repaired, and the difficulty is not particularly great, but it will take a long time.
"We have no time left. Once I recover a little immortal power, I'll first reconstruct the spatial world.
"As long as the spatial world is restored, this deep valley will no longer continue spreading.
"Once the spatial world is whole, the real world will slowly recover as well.
"In a few thousand years, it should return to its original state."
The Returning Origin Sword Immortal nodded. "That is the only option."
Wang Daoyuan took out a pile of ninth-rank spirit herbs, swallowed them whole, and began refining them.
The sheer extravagance of it made the Straw Cape True Immortal's eyelids twitch.
In just over a hundred breaths, Wang Daoyuan had refined all the spirit herbs.
Seeing him awaken, the Straw Cape Sword Immortal asked, "One of the spirit herbs you ate earlier, that ganoderma, seemed to be the Nine Heavens White Jade Ganoderma that vanished from the Qianyuan Realm long ago."
