Although there was some regret on Huangfu Song’s face, it was apparent that the purpose of this trip had been achieved.

“Let’s go, with the Guan Xingxiu’s Falling Star Divine Sword protecting us, we’ll definitely be safe on this journey,” he said.

He summoned the Dust Crossing Boat again, unable to contain his joy.

Recalling the conversation between the two in the courtyard just now, Li Fan pondered, “Has the resistance movement in the area become so serious?”

“Do we really need to seek protection?”

Huangfu Song said, “Better safe than sorry. Anything can happen in this remote place.”

“If things go awry and we’re both implicated, we can just throw everything into the abyss and claim it was an accident.”

“What else can we do?”

“With Guan Xingxiu protecting us, it’s different.”

Huangfu Song looked pleased, “Although he only has the cultivation of Soul Transformation now, falling from the Dao Integration realm to the Soul Transformation realm makes him much more powerful than ordinary Soul Transformation cultivators.”

“At least, in Lanlin Province where there’s no Dao Ancestor sitting in power. With the Falling Star Divine Sword, Guan Xingxiu can suppress everything.”

The chubby man took out the golden sword again, fondling it lovingly.

Li Fan stared at the Falling Star Divine Sword, faintly feeling a soaring momentum from it.

Recalling the lazy appearance he had just seen, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“A generation of Dao Integration experts, yet he ended up in such a state just because he failed to see the situation clearly.”

Then he remembered Guan Xingxiu’s words and couldn’t help asking, “Earlier, Senior Guan said that the old leader had passed away. Does that mean Immortal Sage Jicheng has fallen?”

“Yes, not long ago.”

“He eventually died quietly in his own Heavenly Extreme Courtyard, along with that willow tree.”

The aged face of Immortal Sage Jicheng appeared in Li Fan’s mind.

“If it weren’t for Truth, I’m afraid I would be waiting for death in fear, just like him, before long.”

“What does it matter if one reaches the level of Dao Integration? Without achieving longevity, it’s all futile.”

As if the emotions brought by the fall of the old Dao Integration expert had opened the floodgates, Huangfu Song put away the Falling Star Divine Sword and sighed, “Perhaps Guan Xingxiu’s despair is also related to this matter.”

“Despite controlling the foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s garrison for five hundred years, Immortal Sage Jicheng still had no hope of longevity. It shows how difficult it is to defy the laws of heaven and earth.”

“For Guan Xingxiu, who has been stripped of his cultivation and wants to start again from the Soul Transformation realm, it’s even more difficult.”

“You know, to achieve Dao Integration again, one must rely on a similar heavenly and earthly essence as before.”

“Such essence is rare, and if there are specific requirements for its nature, it becomes almost impossible.”

…

In the chat with Huangfu Song, the Dust Crossing Boat reached the central core area of the Locking Spirit Array, where the designated position for the Tianxuan Array Hub was to be placed.

The formation was not yet fully constructed and would require some time to complete.

Except for the formation masters from the Universal Branch Academy, the other cultivators were not very friendly towards Huangfu Song and Li Fan upon their arrival.

At least it seemed so.

However, after Huangfu Song released the Falling Star Divine Sword, these cultivators had to restrain themselves.

At the same time, in Shilin Province, near the former Cong Yun Sea, now the Cong Yun Abyss.

Zhang Haobo looked at the endless void not far away, his face filled with sorrow.

Although he had seen this scene more than once, he still found it hard to accept.

His hometown, the ocean that was once azure and full of life.

Seeing it again, it had turned into this.

“Haobo, my condolences,” Xiao Heng came over, patting his shoulder and consoling him.

“What happened back then? How could the vast Cong Yun Sea suddenly become like this?” Zhang Haobo couldn’t help asking again.

Xiao Heng shook his head, “I don’t know either. When Senior Skull suddenly warned that the Cong Yun Sea might face a catastrophe, shortly after you left for Jiushan Province, I also left the Cong Yun Sea.”

“But Ye Feipeng seemed to know something and insisted on not leaving with me.”

“I originally thought he was hiding something from me, but since then, he has never appeared again.”

“I think he should have long passed away by now.”

“If I had known, I should have advised him back then.” Xiao Heng’s eyes showed a trace of sadness.

After a long silence, he continued.

“In recent years, I have tried to inquire about the changes in the Congyun Sea. But what surprised me is that, in less than a year, most cultivators have almost no impression of the Congyun Sea.”

“It’s as if this area has never existed.”

“Even now, I only remember the existence of the Congyun Sea when I look at the abyss in front of me.”

Zhang Haobo said, “I feel the same. In Jiushan Prefecture for nearly ten years, I haven’t had a single memory of the Congyun Sea.”

“It was only after coming back to find you that, seeing the Congyun Abyss, memories of the past surged like a tide.”

He paused and whispered, “This should be the influence of the Lord of Eternal Life.”

Xiao Heng also nodded slightly, “Perhaps not long from now, the memories in our minds will completely disappear, just like the former Congyun Sea, gone forever.”

The two looked at each other in silence.

By the edge of the abyss, there was silence.

Not long after, the silence was interrupted by a distant rumbling.

They turned around and found that Su Xiaomei and Su Changyu were sparring again.

“Brother, be careful!”

Su Xiaomei showed a sinister smile towards Su Changyu.

In an instant, dozens of figures with different costumes appeared, surrounding Su Changyu.

These figures held different weapons but had no faces.

Each blank face had various blood-red symbols circulating.

“Watch this move; can you block it!”

These faceless figures with blood-red symbols on their faces laughed in unison with strange and eerie tones.

The weapons in their hands emitted faint blood-colored light.

Countless blood-red attacks, accompanied by their laughter, were about to bombard Su Changyu.

Instead of panicking, Su Changyu closed his eyes.

As the blood-colored light approached him, he extended his right hand, radiating a bright white light.

Moving at an extremely high speed, in an instant, a scene of a thousand hands appearing simultaneously emerged.

Each illusion hand grasped the incoming blood-colored light.

Then simultaneously exerted force.

In an instant, the blood-colored brilliance reversed its direction.

It attacked the dozens of faceless figures instead.

“Boom!”

The situation reversed in an instant.

Caught off guard, those figures were hit by their own attacks.

Many figures disappeared.

However, one of them, after being hit by a blood-colored attack, remained unharmed.

Taking advantage of the explosion’s glare, it quietly approached Su Changyu.

Its form exploded.

A flaming giant net was about to envelop Su Changyu.

Su Changyu’s expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly opened his eyes.

Each eyeball had two pupils.

The four black holes had shrunk to the size of a needlepoint.

The flames burning in front of him were instantly halted.

Su Changyu then slapped his hand.

However, his target was not the flames before him.

It was Su Xiaomei, who was secretly hidden.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Illusory palm shadows appeared one after another, and explosions sounded all around.

“You can’t hit me!”

Su Xiaomei’s voice came from all directions, unpredictable like a ghost.

“Oh?”

“Oh?”

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Changyu’s mouth.

A transparent giant palm had formed high in the sky at some point.

It completely enveloped the battlefield where the two were.

Then it pressed down.

“Boom!”

The earth sank, raising dust.

A huge handprint landed on the ground.

And Su Xiaomei, hiding within it, could no longer hide.

She was grabbed out by the illusory fingers and suspended in mid-air.

“Let go of me!” Su Xiaomei roared.

Her eyes turned crimson, and the fingers she clenched slightly loosened, showing signs of breaking free.

Su Changyu stretched out his right hand and squeezed it from a distance.

Another illusory giant palm appeared.

It overlapped with the previous transparent palm.

As a result, Su Xiaomei was once again suppressed.

“Ah! So annoying!”

Su Xiaomei’s innate divine power continued to surge.

Her hair gradually turned reddish, and the surrounding air twisted due to the heat.

But no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free from the suppression of the giant palm.

“I surrender!”

With Su Xiaomei’s roar, an inexplicable red sun appeared in the sky.

The illusion of the giant palm dissipated under the burning of the red sun.

Although Su Xiaomei regained her freedom, there was no joy on her face. She retracted her own [Red Sun Cave] domain.

Scratching her head, she flew to Su Changyu’s side.

“Brother, how did you become so powerful?”

She asked curiously.

“I suppressed my cultivation to the Golden Core realm. Now, you’re no match for me,” he replied.

She asked with some curiosity.

“When we left the Cong Yun Sea, the Yin Yueting sisters discovered remnants of ancient Dao runes.”

“After these years of recovery, I have been able to experience a complete strand of Dao runes. Just now, this move, [Suppression Palm], was what I comprehended from the Dao runes. Little sister, your comprehension far exceeds mine. I believe you can comprehend even stronger divine abilities from it.”

…

“When we left the Cong Yun Sea, the Yin Yueting sisters discovered remnants of ancient Dao runes…”

As Su Changyu spoke, an identical voice echoed simultaneously.

Creating a strange echo.

But as he slowly closed his eyes, the other echo grew weaker and weaker.

Until it was barely audible.

Su Changyu explained that this was due to his special cultivation technique, which Su Xiaomei and the others had gradually become accustomed to.

“Great! I want to comprehend this divine ability too!” She heard Su Changyu’s words and clapped her hands happily.

Even without opening his eyes, Su Changyu could clearly see the appearance of his long-lost sister in front of him.

Although she had reached the Nascent Soul realm, she still seemed like a child who hadn’t grown up.

Thinking of this, Su Changyu affectionately rubbed Su Xiaomei’s head.

“After more than a decade apart, everyone is finally reunited.”

Xiao Heng, who was watching the scene, couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Suddenly, he sensed a slight fluctuation from the bone ring that hadn’t been used for a long time, and his face lit up with joy.

Ever since the warning from the skull senior, which saved everyone’s lives, it had fallen into a deep sleep again.

Could it be that it was finally waking up now?

Without delay, Xiao Heng eagerly entered the realm of White Bone Pioneer.
