I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 489 Reunion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The secret realm opens for thirty days at a time, and Golden Core cultivators can travel at low altitudes within it.

The journey to the deepest part of the Blazing Cave takes about fourteen days, if there are no delays along the way.

Jiang Yi became truly obedient this time. Because the demon spirit had run away, she was in a bad mood and unable to fly, so she asked Zhong Lingfei to use her flying boat magic artifact to take her on her way.

On the way, Zhong Lingfei glanced at Jiang Yi several times, and she was always propping her head up behind her, half-lying down with her eyes closed, looking so comfortable that it was annoying.

Jiang Yi is looking for the talisman that old man Lei Shi put on her. If she doesn't get rid of the talisman, she will be discovered and hindered wherever she goes, and she won't be able to help much with finding the Northern Profound Demon Spirit.

Left with no other choice, they had to send Hongli Huagu and the others away, since they didn't have any talismans on them.

Since there's nothing she can do right now, she might as well go directly to the deepest and farthest part of this secret realm, partly to find a different kind of fire for Hong Li, and partly to save time.

Once they arrived at the Blazing Cave, if the Northern Xuan Demon Clan wasn't there, she would lead the four of them towards the entrance to search.

"Ah~~~~"

Jiang Yi yawned lazily, and Zhong Lingfei's face darkened. She called Xiao Yushan to take over the piloting of the flying boat, as she needed to rest for a while.

……

Amidst the chaotic rocks and thunderstorm, Duan Jin, disguised as Yi Xianyu, followed a group of disciples from the Lei Ji Sect. The surrounding floating rocks resembled shattered mountains, barely connected by thick lightning chain bridges.

The sky overhead was dark and gray, with ghastly white thunderstorms, as thick as bowls, tearing through the sky from time to time, illuminating the surroundings in a blinding white light, and the roaring sound was deafening.

"Sky-Splittering Owl!"

Someone cried out in alarm as more than a dozen dark figures, as fast as ghosts, swooped down from the thunderclouds above their heads, their wings unleashing wind blades streaked with lightning, attacking with incredible speed.

The leading body cultivator swung his fist at the diving Thunder Owl, while the other body cultivators roared and swung their weapons in retaliation.

Amidst the clash of energies, although two or three slower Sky-Splitting Owls were successfully shot down, more Thunder Owls used their speed and height to suppress the clumsy body cultivators below.

Several precise wind blades pierced through the defenses, causing blood to spurt from the disciples' bodies as they groaned and retreated.

They roared repeatedly, but were helpless against these incredibly fast birds of prey, and the situation became somewhat chaotic.

In the chaos, Duan Jin wanted to take the opportunity to break away from the group, but when she saw several 'senior brothers' and 'senior sisters' who had been kind to her in the crowd, Duan Jin stopped in her tracks and suddenly released an invisible power from her body, which accurately enveloped the circling and diving swarm of Sky-Splitting Owls.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had suddenly pressed down.

Gravity changes!

This is the new ability that Kunjin Yansui brings to Zhenshan Duanjin.

A series of shrill and panicked screams rang out, and more than a dozen Sky-Splittering Owls plummeted straight down.

Just as everyone was horrified by this sudden change, a blurry figure shot out from behind the rocks like a ghost, faster than the falling Thunder Owl.

She weaved through the falling swarm of lightning bolts, gripping her dagger tightly. With each swift and decisive strike, she moved with a breathtaking fluidity, aiming straight for the vitals.

Those struggling Sky-Splittering Owls were swept past by the blade, their eyes instantly extinguished, and they lost their life as they fell.

The whole process was so fast that it only took two or three breaths.

The scene was deathly silent, save for the thunderous roar that relentlessly pounded against the distant rocks.

"Junior Sister Yi...?"

When everyone looked again, Yi Xianyu had disappeared, along with the corpses of the Sky-Splitting Owls that had perished in mid-air.

Duan Jin left silently, and once he reached a secluded spot, he took the antidote, restoring his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He then restored Zhenshan to its original appearance and dressed it in the Lei Ji Sect disciple's robes that Duan Jin had prepared in advance.

Duan Jin and Zhen Shan, using their ability to sense the earth's veins, discovered that this place was filled with pyromagnetite.

"Wife, where do we go next?" Zhenshan asked.

Duan Jin withdrew his divine sense and said, "Let's go to the place with the richest mineral veins. Demon spirits will definitely need resources for cultivation and survival. Even if we can't find the Northern Xuan Demon Spirit, we'll still dig some Xuan Magnetite ore for our master. We can't have come all this way for nothing."

"okay!"

...In the deepest crevice of the abyss.

Shen Puning followed the nineteenth young master of the Lei family, who was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and cautiously explored the narrow canyon. A five-person team followed behind them.

Lei Shijiu reiterated in a deep voice, "Everyone, be alert. Our primary purpose here is to find the 'Blood Tide Flower.' Once we find this flower, we will hunt down those Northern Xuan Demon Spirits. This place is the nest of the Golden Ghost Bats, so try not to disturb them."

As soon as Lei Shijiu finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a wild boar king with an unusually large body, covered in black fur, and with upturned tusks, blocking their only way. Its front hooves rubbed against the ground, and it exhaled heavy breaths from its nostrils.

"A Golden Core stage demon beast?!" Lei Shijiu was terrified, unable to understand how a Golden Core stage demon beast could appear here.

Seeing this, Shen Puning stepped forward, "Young Master, go quickly, I'll cover your retreat!"

"run!"

At Lei Shijiu's command, he led his men to flee, leaving Shen Puning to fight the wild boar king alone.

After they had run far away, Lei Shijiu listened to the booming explosions behind him and the dust kicked up by the collapse of the rift valley, and was deeply moved.

"If Master Ning really comes back alive, I will definitely become sworn brothers with him!"

……

In the central part of the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, in the Black Magnetic Plain.

As soon as Zhao Cangyun entered with the cultivators from Yu Lei Valley, he released a little of his Qilin aura, causing all the demonic beasts under the cultivators' mounts to scatter and flee.

Zhao Cangyun successfully left the team.

This place is devoid of light, thunder, and wind; it is completely silent, like a pure black space, with black sand covering the ground.

Foundation Establishment cultivators who come here will inevitably lose their way and have no chance of getting out; only Golden Core cultivators can pass through.

Considering that the people of Yulei Valley had treated him fairly well, Zhao Cangyun put his little finger in his mouth and whistled. The monsters that had been frightened away earlier all rushed towards the exit.

"Come out, Jade Serpent."

The black dragon flew out from Zhao Cangyun's sleeve, flicking its tongue at the air. Zhao Cangyun also raised his nose and sniffed.

"Hmm? Old Shang and Junior Sister Wushuang are nearby, perfect."

Zhao Cangyun sat on the head of the jade dragon and went to meet up with Shang Shixu and Xin Wushuang.

Shang Shixu and Xin Wushuang entered as independent cultivators without a fixed team. They were teleported to a certain place by Shang Shixu's Gu worms.

Zhao Cangyun also had the Gu poison placed by Shang Shixu on him. The two teams rushed in opposite directions and soon met at the edge of the Black Magnetic Plain.

Not long after, Shen Puning, riding on a pearl, arrived at the scene. On the pearl's head, Hong Li, who had transformed into a little fox, was perched, along with Hua Gu, who had transformed into a white scarf and was wrapped around Hong Li's neck.

After they reunited, Hongli and Huagu transformed into human form, one in white and one in red, both looking like young girls, like twin sisters.

Hua Gu quickly said, "Yi has been planted with a tracking talisman by the big bad guy and can't meet up with us. She said she will go to the Blazing Cave first. Duan Jin and Zhao Ming will search the three outer areas. We will search from the Black Magnetic Plain towards the Blazing Cave."

Hiss!

The jade snake suddenly became excited and spoke human language in its dragon body.

"My mother is right here. I sensed her for a moment just now. Damn it! The magnetic field here is strange, and the interference is too great!"

No one's divine sense is very effective here, and Shang Shixu's Gu can only sense things at close range.

Upon hearing Yu Hui's words, Zhao Cangyun also twitched his nose forcefully, searching for the aura of the Ink Dragon King from his memory.

Everyone stared at him expectantly, and after a long while, Zhao Cangyun shook his head.

"The smell of lightning burning other things is too strong and it is indeed a big disturbance, but since Yu Hui is sure, let's keep looking forward and we will definitely find it."

"Ok!"

　see you tomorrow!
