The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's sharp eyes caught the subtle changes in the aura of the Great Digging Spirit and the Three Digging Spirits.

It was rising steadily and quietly.

It has neither the ferocity of a mountain torrent nor the sudden leap.

It was as still as the surface of water.

This is perhaps the deep and restrained power that is evoked by the passing of a loved one.

“My life is right here, come and take it,” Jiang Chuan said.

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the air instantly became tense.

Da Juling's eyes were sharp, as if they could pierce through Jiang Chuan's soul.

He slowly raised his hand, and powerful spiritual energy surged in his palm.

The surrounding air seemed to be drawn in by this palm strike, becoming heavy.

Jiang Chuan remained expressionless, his gaze fixed firmly on Da Juling.

They knew this battle was unavoidable.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within his body began to rapidly condense.

His hands instantly became as hot as flames, heating the surrounding air and blurring his figure.

Taotie sensed the resolute determination of Jiang Chuan on his back, a feeling of indifference to life and death and a willingness to fight anyone who dared to challenge him.

The Great Spirit shook his whisk, riding the Corrosive Dragon with imposing grandeur, and wherever he went, the power of corruption arose spontaneously.

When the corrosive dragon confronted the Dragon Roar Sword held by Jiang Chuan, the space instantly froze.

Jiang Chuan's Taotie, however, was sent flying backward without taking a single hit in this clash.

Such a scene nearly caused Jiang Chuan, who was standing on the back of the Taotie, to lose his balance.

The Great Digging Spirit and the Three Digging Spirits, who were preparing to make another move, heard Qing Yinyan's message from afar.

"Come back quickly."

They dared not disregard Qing Yinyan's words.

After all, she was the one who gave them all their achievements, so if they wanted to go back quickly, something must have happened.

"Jiang Chuan, I'll remember this grudge." After saying this, Da Jue Ling looked at San Jue Ling and then disappeared from Jiang Chuan's sight.

The sudden event caused Jiang Chuan to freeze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

Back on the ground, Jiang Chuan saw Li Yi walking towards him and said, "It's confirmed. The tomb raiding incident in Qing City was indeed done by Qing Yinyan's people."

"Now that you know the reason, what are you going to do?" Li Yi asked.

"Let's talk as we walk," Jiang Chuan said, holding Li Yi's small hand.

……

Qingyun Sect.

In a garden, sat a woman with a face as fiery as the sun.

This woman is none other than Qing Yinyan, the goddess of Qing City.

When his tightly closed eyes slightly opened, he saw two disheveled figures helping each other out of the shadows.

It was the Great Digging Spirit and the Three Digging Spirits that she had summoned back.

The Great Spirit Hunter, who had walked up to Qing Yinyan, frowned, not quite understanding why they had to come back so quickly. He said, "Sect Master Qing, I almost killed Jiang Chuan back then. If you hadn't called me back, Jiang Chuan would be a corpse by now."

"I asked you to come back because the closed space tunnel I was maintaining recently developed cracks and needs urgent repair, otherwise it could cause irreparable damage," Qing Yinyan said, raising his chin slightly.

"A closed space tunnel?" The Great Digging Spirit and the Third Digging Spirit looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they knew that the Qingyun Sect possessed many mysterious spaces.

But I've never heard of enclosed space tunnels, let alone cracks.

Seeing their confusion, Qing Yinyan explained, "The enclosed space tunnel is an important passage connecting our Qingyun Sect with the outside world. Once a crack appears, it will not only affect the normal operation of the sect, but may even affect the safety of the entire Qing City. Therefore, I need you to take immediate action to help me repair the crack."

Upon hearing this, the Great Digger and the Third Digger immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. They dared not delay and immediately nodded in agreement.

Da Jue Ling still asked in confusion, "Qingyun Sect has a general guarding the pavilion, why not let them help you?"

"They're all busy with their own things and don't have any free time right now." Qing Yinyan's words clearly implied that the Great Digger and the Second Digger were just doing manual labor.

"This..." After understanding, Da Jue Ling said, "Sect Master Qing, what you're doing is not fair. Jiang Chuan killed my second brother, and this revenge cannot go unavenged. Also, we need a reward for helping you maintain the closed space."

"A reward?" Qing Yinyan pursed her red lips and then said, "I will help you eliminate Jiang Chuan."

Upon hearing this, Da Jue Ling said with obvious dissatisfaction, "Is that all? It's no fun if he dies too easily. Aren't you the goddess of Qing City? You can call on the youths of Qing City to harass him at the Diviner Alliance. Before long, with the manpower of Qing City, Jiang Chuan will surely surrender."

Qing Yinyan smiled slightly. She was willing to do Da Jue Ling's suggestion, but whether the young people were willing was another matter.

She said, "Your suggestion is good, but I know what I'm doing. Although Jiang Chuan is cunning, we can't let him fall easily. I will use my influence to secretly manipulate the Diviner Alliance and make them weaken Jiang Chuan's strength without him realizing it. As for the reward, I will naturally consider it. Don't worry, after this operation is successful, I will make your Digging Spirit Clan famous in Qing City."

Upon hearing this, the Great Grave Digger and the Third Grave Digger quickly waved their hands and said, "It's fine if we become famous, but what we do is not something that can be brought into the open. If Qing City finds out that we are grave diggers, we will definitely be scolded and pointed at when we go out."

"Then, Sect Master Qing, we'll go prepare the tools now. Leave the repair of the cracks to us." Although the Great Digging Spirit and the Third Digging Spirit were somewhat dissatisfied with Qing Yinyan's arrangements, they still decided to do their best for the safety of Qing City.

Seeing that Da Jue Ling was about to leave, Qing Yin Yan spoke up: "Where are you going? What tools are you preparing? Just have people here."

When the Great Digging Spirit and the Third Digging Spirit came to their senses, they saw Qing Yinyan wave her small hand, and the surrounding lush green scenery began to blur.

A moment later, a crack a thousand meters long appeared before their eyes and hovered above their heads.

Black energy occasionally seeps out from the cracks, but it is instantly vaporized into nothingness by external forces.

"This is a closed spatial rift." Qing Yinyan stood in the void, surrounded by a fierce wind that made her black hair sway wildly. The surrounding scenery was shrouded in a layer of misty black fog, making it difficult to see where they were. All they knew was that they were in another world.

The Great Digger and the Third Digger looked at each other, at a loss as to how to proceed with the kilometer-long crack.

"Watch me." Knowing that this was the first time the Great Digging Spirit and the Third Digging Spirit had encountered this situation, Qing Yinyan decided to demonstrate to them how to repair the cracks.

Qing Yinyan smiled calmly, his hands tracing complex runes in the air.

As the runes flickered.

A powerful energy fluctuation emanated from her body, quickly condensing into an energy barrier around the crack.

"This is an energy barrier that can temporarily stop the crack from expanding and buy us time to repair it."

As Qing Yinyan spoke, he guided the Great Digging Spirit and the Three Digging Spirits closer to the crack.

Following Qing Yinyan's instructions, the Great Digger and the Three Digger cautiously approached the crack, sensing the powerful energy fluctuations.

"Look, this is how to repair the crack." Qing Yinyan pointed to the crack. "First, we need to find the source of the crack, then seal it with an energy barrier, and finally repair it."

Upon getting close to the crack, the Great Digger and the Three Digger widened their eyes, feeling a sense of fear.

At this moment, Qing Yinyan waved her hands again, and beams of energy shot out from her hands, accurately hitting the source of the crack.

"This is the method of sealing," Qing Yinyan continued to explain. "After sealing, the crack will no longer expand, and we can proceed with the repairs without worry."

As Qing Yinyan's words faded, Da Jue Ling decided to voice his displeasure, "Sect Master Qing, there's something I'm unsure whether I should say it or not."

Qing Yinyan, who was preparing to cast a spell, was interrupted by the sudden sound of the Great Spirit Digger's voice. She turned her head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

“Uh…” Da Jue Ling rubbed his hands together. “I’m scared. After all, this is my first time coming into contact with this thing. Also, I can vaguely sense that the black gas gushing out of this crack does not belong to Qing City, but to the Primordial Era. I have seen it in ancient books.”

Faced with Da Jue Ling's words, Qing Yin Yan was speechless. She, as a woman, did not have such concerns, but he had a brother with him and was worried about so much.

“Great Digger, courage takes practice, but fear is human nature when facing the unknown. I understand that you are afraid.” Qing Yinyan spoke calmly, trying to soothe Great Digger’s nervousness. “However, since you mentioned the black gas from the primordial era, I need to give you a lesson on courage.”

"These black gases are precisely what can compensate for the deficiencies in one's heart."

"And that's exactly the element you need."

"However, these elements are destructive; inhaling them can cause backstabbing."

"So the time has come to test your courage."

"If you inhale this black gas and do not experience any rejection reaction."

"Then, congratulations on winning the lottery; otherwise, your lives will be slowly burned away by the black energy."

Qing Yinyan's explanation was very logical and reasonable.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Great Digger and the Third Digger turned solemn.

They never imagined that these things were hidden in the crack.

However, Qing Yinyan's words were like a key, unlocking the door to their fears.

Let them realize that courage and determination are the most important things when facing the unknown.

"Sect Master Qing, how should we deal with this black gas?" Da Jue Ling asked cautiously.

Qing Yinyan nodded slightly and said, "Kneel before me, and I will guide the black energy into your bodies. As for whether you can refine this primordial black energy, that depends on your fate."

After she finished speaking, the Great Digger and the Third Digger looked at each other, questioning Qing Yinyan's actions and wondering if she had some kind of queen fetish and liked to do these kinds of things.

Although Qing Yinyan is the goddess of Qing City, their values ​​are correct.

“This…” Da Jue Ling’s voice trailed off, “This isn’t very polite, is it?”

Qing Yinyan smiled and said, "You should understand that true courage is not about running away, but about facing it. I am doing this so that you can bravely face your inner fears when faced with life and death, and thus achieve true growth."

She paused, then continued, "As for elegance or not, that's just a formality. What's important is whether you can find your courage in this challenge, refine this primordial black energy, and become true powerhouses. Look at my current strength; it's the result of struggling in the unknown."

After saying that, Qing Yinyan activated her early-stage Heavenly Rank strength, causing the black energy overflowing from the crack to shrink back as if it had encountered a ghost.

The Great Digger and the Third Digger exchanged a glance, a resolute glint in their eyes.

Although Qing Yinyan's words were somewhat unconventional, they were an indispensable lesson in their path to growth.

"Sect Master Qing, we are willing to accept the challenge," Da Jue Ling said in a deep voice.

Qing Yinyan nodded and said, "Okay, let's begin."

She walked to the crack, formed a hand seal, and a powerful force surged from her body, attracting the black energy in the crack and causing the space to tremble.

Even with just a brief move, the Great Digging Spirit and the Third Digging Spirit were somewhat moved upon witnessing the true power of a Heavenly Rank expert.

The Great Digging Spirit and the Three Digging Spirits knelt before Qing Yinyan, closed their eyes, and showed no resistance, only submission, as they felt the black energy gradually entering their bodies.

At first, they felt a stinging pain, as if Qing Yinyan was whipping their nervous system with his spiritual energy, but as time went on, they gradually got used to the feeling.

Qing Yinyan stood aside, closely observing their changes, but focusing more on the cracks.

She unleashed all the power befitting a Heavenly Realm expert, daring not to be negligent in the face of the cracks in the unknown territory.

As you can see, Qing Yinyan is like a tailor, carefully mending the cracks with both hands.

The needles she held in her hands were formed from the true energy within her body, and they looked particularly exquisite.

The moment the crack was mended, black gas surged out. This gas only lingered in the air for a moment before Qing Yinyan used her small silver needles to trace its path and guide it into the crown chakra of the Great Spirit and the Three Spirits.

"This is the refining process of the primordial black energy." Qing Yinyan's voice was deep and powerful, as if he were revealing some kind of cosmic secret to them.

Although the Great Digging Spirit and the Three Digging Spirit could not fully understand everything Qing Yinyan had done.

But they can sense it.

As the black energy entered their bodies.

Their souls seemed to be purified, and the impurities in their bodies were gradually being cleared away.

"Sect Master Qing, we...we feel a powerful force surging within us. I can feel how incredibly strong I am!" Da Jue Ling opened his eyes, his voice trembling slightly, but filled with excitement.

Qing Yinyan said, "This is a gift from the Primordial Black Qi, which will allow your strength to reach a new level."

Sanjuling also opened his eyes, his eyes shining as if he saw his future self standing at an even higher peak.

"Sect Master Qing, we understand. This challenge is not only for ourselves, but also for the future of the entire Qing Sect. We are willing to go through fire and water for the Qingyun Sect!" Da Jue Ling said firmly.

Qing Yinyan nodded, still complaining in his heart about the Qingyun Sect's guardian general, who didn't know how to enjoy such an opportunity to become stronger.

Perhaps these generals guarding the pavilions of the Qingyun Sect knew that inheriting this power required kneeling before her, but because of the relationship between employees and bosses, they couldn't bring themselves to do it, so they simply gave up the opportunity.

As time went by, the black energy in the cracks decreased.

Qing Yinyan's hands moved faster and faster, as if weaving an invisible net to firmly bind the black energy.

Finally, just as the black energy was about to be exhausted, Qing Yinyan withdrew the silver needles in her hand. She let out a long sigh of relief, and exhaustion appeared on her face.

"Alright, you've completed the refining." Qing Yinyan's voice carried a hint of relief.

The Great Digger and the Three Digger stood up.

They felt much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their bodies.

"Sect Master Qing, we...we..." Da Jue Ling was too excited to speak. (End of Chapter)
