Wu Shattered Star River

Eternal Night Land, Evening Autumn Manor.

Beneath the ancient copper coin tree in the manor's backyard, a stunningly beautiful woman lay on a rocking chair, a hand holding an ancient book, eyes half-closed as she read.

The rocking chair itself was curved, accentuating the woman's alluring figure even more as she reclined.

The leaves of the ancient copper coin tree shimmered with faint golden light, scattering upon the woman, making her body seem to glow, even more dazzling.

"Rustle, rustle..."

A middle-aged Tianye clan woman of King-level cultivation walked in from outside, respectfully standing behind Ye Wanqiu and bowing, "Miss, a cultivator left a letter outside the manor, and the signature is actually Jiang Henshui!"

The maidservant presented the letter with both hands, and Ye Wanqiu was slightly surprised.

With a flick of her hand, the letter flew into her grasp.

She scanned it a few times, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of her lips as she said, "That fool Jiang Han actually ran to the River of Bloodshed?

Now he's done for, suppressed beneath Blood Saint Mountain, never to rise again, right?"

The King-level Tianye clan woman was somewhat astonished, her gaze falling upon the letter as she said, "Miss, Jiang Henshui wrote to you, asking you to save Jiang Han?"

"Mm!"

Ye Wanqiu's lips curled into a sneer as she said, "Jiang Henshui's brain must also be malfunctioning.

Doesn't he know the relationship between the Bloodshed Clan and my Tianye Clan?

He actually seeks help from this young lady?"

"They're making trouble at the River of Bloodshed, slapping not only the Bloodshed Clan's face but also the Tianye Clan's."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "So... will you save Jiang Han, Miss?"

"Not saving him!"

Ye Wanqiu shrugged her shoulders and said, "Not only am I not saving him, but I'm also going to Blood Saint Mountain to see how miserable Jiang Han is with my own eyes!"

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and chuckled, but she didn't say anything more.

Ye Wanqiu put away the ancient book and waved her hand, saying, "Notify me if there are any developments at home.

I'm going to the River of Bloodshed to have some fun."

Ye Wanqiu's body vanished from the spot, and the middle-aged woman shook her head, smiling wryly and sighing, "Miss, you have a sharp tongue..."

......

Beneath Blood Saint Mountain, Jiang Han's physical body had already recovered, but it was scorched again.

Within this abyss, demonic winds and ghostly fires would assault every half month, each time burning the prisoners inside until they screamed.

Even Jiang Han and that powerful Xie clan member would be injured.

Jiang Han possessed the Thunderous Holy Body, so his injuries recovered easily.

The Xie clan member's physical body was also extremely powerful, essentially healing itself in half a day.

In reality, those who could be imprisoned here and still be alive were basically all experts, at least at the peak of the King-level.

As long as the flames didn't kill them, their physical bodies had enough time to heal within half a month.

The pain of the physical body was nothing; what was most terrifying here was the mental torment.

And... the despair of seeing no hope.

Being suppressed here for a year or two might not be a big deal; enduring for ten or eight years might still be possible; gritting one's teeth and getting through a hundred years would pass.

But being suppressed for thousands or tens of thousands of years, those who could remain sane definitely possessed an extremely abnormal willpower.

Some elders who had cultivated for many years might be able to endure somewhat, as they might spend hundreds of years in seclusion at a time.

But Jiang Han, who had only lived for a few decades from birth until now, even if his willpower was strong, he might collapse and turn into a madman if he were imprisoned here for hundreds or thousands of years.

Jiang Han's mental state was still pretty good.

He constantly told himself not to rush, to slowly think of a solution; the more he rushed, the more likely he was to encounter problems.

He had thought for over a month, considering many methods, such as trying to contact the artifact spirit within the stone pillar to see if there was a chance to influence it.

For example, he tried various methods to gather the golden nectar.

As long as he could gather the golden nectar, he would have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, after trying various methods, he failed.

He wasn't discouraged.

If it could be solved so easily, then the many suppressed experts within this abyss would have long escaped.

He had only entered for such a short time, and since his life wasn't in danger, he wasn't in a hurry.

Today, he tried to communicate with the Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit.

The Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit had been asleep since the last time, and it hadn't awakened yet.

He wanted to awaken the Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit and have it try to communicate with the stone pillar's artifact spirit.

Unfortunately, after communicating for a long time, the Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit didn't react at all.

In a fit of anger, Jiang Han controlled the Celestial Beast Cauldron to fly out from between his eyebrows, flying to his crotch, and he sternly shouted, "If you don't wake up, I'll pee on you!"

The Celestial Beast Cauldron flashed with a faint light, then actively flew up, entering Jiang Han's mind, and a telepathic message sounded, "Are you out of your mind?

How old are you? Still so childish?"

"Awake?"

Jiang Han was immediately overjoyed, quickly sending a telepathic message, "Brother Artifact Spirit, I'm in trouble, quickly help me think of a way, help me escape."

"I'm not your dad!"

The artifact spirit said unhappily, "Why should I always help you?

Besides, your strength is so great now, yet you're trapped.

How can a small artifact spirit like me help you?

I can't help!"

"Don't say such distant things!"

Jiang Han sent a telepathic message, "The Azure Emperor has already given this cauldron to me.

From now on, you can only follow me for the rest of your life.

Our fates are intertwined, and when I escape, I'll help you get whatever essence blood you want, how about it?"

The artifact spirit paused for a moment and said, "Then you help me get a few hundred drops of sixth-order immortal beast essence blood, and I'll help you!"

"No problem!"

Jiang Han didn't hesitate at all.

Sixth-order immortal beasts were comparable to Immortal Emperors, and they weren't nonexistent in this world.

For example, there were sixth-order immortal beasts within the Abyss of Hell.

If he could escape, going to the Abyss of Hell would be a simple matter for Jiang Han.

The artifact spirit sent a telepathic message, "How were you trapped?

Tell me in detail, and I'll see if there's a way."

Jiang Han explained the situation once, and the artifact spirit began to investigate the surrounding situation.

After investigating once, it sent a telepathic message, "I can't help either.

The energy emanating from this stone pillar is too strong.

Otherwise... should I protect your soul and just fly away?"

Jiang Han's expression changed slightly.

That old Human race man had told him—if his soul left his sea of consciousness, the stone pillar's artifact spirit would launch an attack.

The Celestial Beast Cauldron's defense wasn't strong; could it withstand the stone pillar's attack?

If it couldn't withstand it, then the Celestial Beast Cauldron might be destroyed instantly, and he would be scattered into nothingness.

There was also another problem!

Even if his soul could escape here, could it escape Blood Saint Mountain?

Many Bloodshed Clan experts resided in the mountain cave, with no shortage of Emperor-level cultivators.

If his soul flew upwards and encountered an Emperor-level Bloodshed Clan member, it might be scattered with a single slap.

"No, I can't take the risk!"

Jiang Han rejected this path.

He pondered for a moment and sent a telepathic message, "Otherwise... could you communicate with the stone pillar's artifact spirit?

Think of a way to tame it?

Deceive and trick it, anything is fine, as long as it lets me escape.

What if the stone pillar's artifact spirit is a great beauty?

You could hook up with her."

"What kind of artifact spirit do you take me for?"

The artifact spirit sent a telepathic message, righteously saying, "I'm a proper artifact spirit.

Don't say such things next time.

Well... since there's no other way, I'll reluctantly go and investigate."

The artifact spirit transformed into a stream of light, flying out from Jiang Han's mind, instantly entering the stone pillar beside him.

Jiang Han's eyes became fiery, silently praying in his heart that the Celestial Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit must be up to the task.

Whether he could escape depended on this move.
