After staying for a while and looking around, Su Mu asked Zhou Jianhua to have someone drive him home.
The item has been delivered, and his mission is complete; it's time for him to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Meanwhile, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the lunar eclipse is approaching, and Su Mu needs to go back to check and make sure there are no problems.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Su Mu, traveling by flying boat, was already close to the Wasteland of Withered Bones.
Su Mu stepped forward and noticed that the princess's expression seemed a little off.
"What's wrong? You look terrible."
Su Mu looked up and glanced at the scene. It wasn't the time for the Moon Pursuing the Sun yet, but the Princess seemed to be making it appear as if it had already begun.
Isn't the sun still hanging high in the sky?
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess glanced at Su Mu, said nothing, and gently touched Su Mu's brow with her jade-like hand.
A cool sensation came from between my eyebrows, but I withdrew it as soon as I touched it.
Su Mu was about to ask a question when his expression suddenly changed.
When he opened his eyes, the world had changed color.
The once bright and sun-drenched land now appears somewhat gloomy, while in the distance, countless flames resembling white bonfires can be seen burning continuously.
But these campfires were gradually dying down.
Su Mu focused his gaze and realized that these white bonfires were none other than the Righteous Qi.
This Righteous Qi is being suppressed and is gradually dissipating.
Looking northwest, Su Mu felt a pang in his heart, for all that stretched out before him was pitch blackness, with not a single other color in sight.
"Is that the Wasteland of Withered Bones?"
Su Mu gasped as he watched this scene.
"Yes, originally the Yin Qi here should only rise to mid-air before being suppressed by the lesser yang. However, now that the Moon Pursuing the Sun, this Yin Qi is about to begin to transform the world."
The eldest princess's expression was solemn. She had sensed something was amiss before she arrived, but now, seeing this scene, she realized that she had underestimated the influence of the Moon Pursuing the Sun on this place.
After thinking for a moment, the princess flipped her jade-like hand and pulled out the calligraphy that Su Mu had given her before.
As soon as the inkstone appeared, it seemed to sense something, Righteous Qi began to emerge, as if to expel all the evil energy around it.
However, the surrounding Yin energy seemed to be stimulated, surging wildly towards the ink treasure, and the rising Righteous Qi began to be compressed little by little.
The Wasteland of Withered Bones in the distance seemed to sense something as well, with layers of Yin Baleful Qi surging up from it, as if some terrifying ghost was hidden within.
"Put it away quickly!"
Upon seeing this Yu Guyue immediately felt a chill and quickly called out.
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess quickly put away the calligraphy, and the strange occurrences in the distance gradually subsided.
"The situation is more serious than we thought."
A hint of horror appeared on the princess's pretty face. She felt that even if they were both Nascent Soul Cultivator, they probably couldn't stop what was in this Wasteland of Withered Bones of withered bones.
Su Mu also sensed that something was very wrong; the situation was indeed far too serious.
Even the effect that calligraphy can achieve will be greatly reduced.
"You shouldn't have come along."
Thinking of this, Su Mu turned around and glanced at Lin Hongbin.
When Su Mu saw that he was coming to this Wasteland of Withered Bones, this guy was determined to follow, and no amount of persuasion could dissuade him, so Su Mu had no choice but to let him come along.
Lin Hongbin appeared completely unconcerned. "Since Mr. Su is here, how could I not come?"
After what happened last time, he was certain that he could definitely comprehend the Perfect Foundation Establishment by following Su Mu, so he naturally didn't want to stay in the capital waiting for Su Mu to return.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu shook his head repeatedly. This guy didn't seem to be one to fear no death either.
If something really happens, Su Mu is certain that Yu Guyue will run away with him without hesitation, but what about Lin Hongbin?
The opponent is currently only a Qi Refining cultivator; how will they escape?
Su Mu opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
"How many more days until it starts?"
As the airship approached the Wasteland of Withered Bones, Su Mu could see that the land in the distance was covered with grayish-white sand, all of which had been laid down by bones over time.
It was truly shocking to see.
"About three more days."
The eldest princess calculated the time and then replied.
The two were talking about the time of the Moon Pursuing the Sun.
The airship finally came to a stop and landed on a magnificent city below.
This city was specifically built to guard the Wasteland of Withered Bones.
Ahead, there is a very clear junction between the Wasteland of Withered Bones soil and the grayish-white soil, with a very distinct dividing line.
And there, a golden barrier appears intermittently.
"That was a seal blessed by Buddhism. At the border, the bones of more than ten thousand eminent monks were ground into powder, and the Buddhist teachings were written to suppress the border."
Yu Guyue also looked up at the boundary, her eyes filled with a hint of apprehension. She dared not approach this sealing barrier casually.
"Whenever a monk passes away, they almost always come here to reinforce the seal of this place with their Buddhist teachings, in order to prevent anything from the Wasteland of Withered Bones from escaping. In addition, every year many eminent monks and talented scholars use Buddhist teachings and calligraphy to gradually dismantle the Yin Baleful Qi within. However, this Yin Baleful Qi is as vast as an ocean; how can it be so easily dismantled?"
Su Mu listened, her face filled with shock.
Looking down, I saw monks and scholars in the city, making up a significant portion of the population.
Given the importance attached to this place, one can imagine the immense threat it would pose if the seal were broken and the creatures inside escaped.
Especially just now, even Yu Guyue was somewhat surprised and doubtful when she saw it.
You should know that Yu Guyue is a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Su Mu followed the princess into the city. At a glance, he saw monks in their robes and scholars in their official robes with square headscarves walking by one after another, all with solemn expressions on their faces.
"You may stay here for now; I need to speak with the local governor about the suppression."
After uttering those words, the eldest princess hurriedly left.
She could already feel the pressure emanating from the Wasteland of Withered Bones, a pressure that made her uneasy and eager to learn more.
Su Mu and Yu Guyue casually found a courtyard to stay in. Su Mu was thinking about the Wasteland of Withered Bones and felt somewhat uneasy.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard.
Before Su Mu could open the door, Lin Hongbin opened the courtyard gate first, and after a moment, turned around and said something with a puzzled look.
"Young Master Su, it is a talented scholar in the city who wishes to meet you."
