ninety thousand miles

Chapter 710 Yun Yi

Beneath the divine bird, a hazy human figure emerged.

The man slightly raised his right hand, gently tapped it with his fingertips, and then flicked it. The cracks in the space on both sides, slashed by the ice sword, began to heal, and the path of cultivation began to solidify again.

However, the ice particles did not melt; instead, they gnawed at the sea and sky like worms.

After creating holes, ice particles embed themselves within them, forcefully pushing them apart. The holes gradually connect, forming patches of ice crystals.

Ice crystals froze time.

In both sides of the space, time rewinding and forward movement were disrupted and became unstable.

The separated spaces began to permeate and distort each other.

The violent waves crashed together, causing the entire Nine Seas to shake.

"I sense a crack appearing in the southwest direction," said Sect Leader Chu.

The old palace master remained silent.

Sect Leader Chu said, "Yang Jiu, there's nothing we can do here. And the outside world knows nothing about what's happening here, and is completely unprepared. No matter what happens, we must leave a seed for the Xuanmen."

“I know,” the old palace master said.

"But Brother still..." Before Gong Er could finish speaking, Pang San covered his mouth and said, "Second Brother, if there's a way, no one wants to leave."

Gong Er looked at the expressions of the cultivators, then at Yao Shuang, whose face was pale, and Lao Xiaokai, who was still stiff and motionless, and lowered his head.

The figure beneath the divine bird moved again, lifting his palm upwards, and the giant blade that cleaved the sea and sky reappeared, pointing directly at Immortal Yunyi.

Immortal Yunyi, wielding a long halberd, rode the waves upwards. The tip of the halberd pointed out, meeting the sharpness of the giant blade, instantly causing light to radiate and ripples to spread.

The figure gripped the giant blade tightly, and with a single twist of his arm, the clouds swirled, transforming into a massive net that enveloped Immortal Yunyi.

Instead of retreating, the immortal Yunyi advanced, wielding his halberd. He drew countless trajectories, and as these trajectories intertwined, they tore open the net of heaven.

"Let's go, let's go past Immortal Yunyi," the old palace master said.

Then, the Hall Master Cangming transformed into a firebird once more, leading everyone in a swift dash. The Old Palace Master and Sect Leader Chu, one at the head and the other at the tail, cast spells to create a tangible barrier around them.

However, some cultivators still fell behind.

The figure noticed their subtle movements and was about to stop them when the halberd collided with the giant blade once more.

The halberd and the giant blade clashed violently.

A terrifying force tore at the ground, and fragments of the laws rained down like a storm.

The firebird left several afterimages in the clouds before appearing in the far southwest.

They passed through the rift and arrived beyond the Nine Seas.

At this moment, outside the Nine Seas, layers of restrictions were set up.

After they arrived, a cultivator dressed in Tianyu Sect clothing flew towards them from a distance.

"Old Palace Master, Sect Leader Chu, and Uncle Jiang..." He noticed their disheveled appearance and asked, "What happened inside?"

He had barely finished asking when Sect Leader Wang strode through the barrier and asked urgently, "What exactly happened? You..." His gaze shifted to Jiang Mei, "Where are the disciples who participated in the trial? Why hasn't a single one come out?"

“They are still in the secret realm,” Jiang Mei replied.

"Has the secret realm not been opened yet?" Sect Leader Wang asked.

"Not yet..." Jiang Mei said, just as he was about to elaborate, the old palace master interrupted him, saying, "Iron Tree, answer my question first, did you lead people to seal off the entire Nine Seas?"

Sect Leader Wang shook his head and said, "The Nine Seas are sealed off from the inside. After I arrived at the Nine Seas, I tried to go in, but it was completely impossible. I also tried to contact Jiang Mei, but I couldn't reach her either. I sensed something was wrong, so I immediately dispatched a thousand Tianyu Sect disciples to set up a barrier outside, just in case." He continued to press, "Just now I felt a huge change in the world. What exactly happened?"

"The battle in the Upper Realm is fierce. Immortal Weng has descended to the Lower Realm. He is using Immortal Yingfeng's magic to try and make that beam of light fall again. If the light falls, we, the Upper Realm, and the entire world will be sacrificed by him. Before we came out, he was fighting with Immortal Yunyi." The old palace master recounted everything that happened in the secret realm, highlighting the key points. He said, "That rift was deliberately left by Immortal Yunyi; he saved us."

"So much has happened..." Sect Leader Wang said, "Let's take care of the wounded first, and then see what we can do."

The old palace master nodded and said, "That's all we can do." He looked towards the Nine Seas and said, "I'm afraid we don't have much time left."

Above the Nine Seas, the giant blade transformed into an extremely thin and bright beam of light, heading straight for Immortal Yunyi. At this moment, the waves beneath Immortal Yunyi's feet had frozen into ice, and his figure and the halberd in his hand seemed to merge into one, charging towards the beam of light.

In the instant the lights collided, all sound fell silent.

In an instant, light and shadow returned to the world.

The two figures each retreated a thousand feet, standing in mid-air in their respective spaces.

"Wei Yun, are you really going to stop me?" Weng Xian's voice rang out.

"I promise to intervene once, and then return to the Upper Realm," Immortal Yunyi replied, his voice as cold as ice.

“You can go back now,” Weng Xian said.

“Things are in too much chaos up there right now,” Yun Yi said.

“Perfect, you can kill to your heart’s content,” Weng Xian said.

“I want to kill something more interesting now,” Yun Yi said, staring at Weng Xian.

With anger, Weng Xian asked, "What do you mean?"

“You may continue. I will decide whether to kill you after I see that beam of light,” said Immortal Yunyi.

His figure slowly retreated, passing through the ever-changing space-time, and returned to the island once more.

The ice particles completely dissipated.

Amidst the billowing clouds, the cracks were rapidly mended. In both spaces, time rewound and moved forward once more; the illusory ferry crossings lit up one by one, and the stars gradually aligned with the patterns on the star map.

Nine stars converge at the tail.

As Yunyi the Immortal gazed at the divine bird carrying the past and the future, he seemed to see the scenes within the secret realm. After a long while, he whispered, "Don't disappoint me."

A few cracks appeared on the statue-like face, then disappeared just as quickly.

Within the secret realm, the clouds gradually dissipated, revealing the bodies of the trial cultivators lying haphazardly beneath the eye of the tidal wave. They remained unconscious, their faces pale, their expressions shifting from joy and satisfaction to terror and doubt.

Wen Guying leaned on his sword, panting.

"I'm going to pick up Junior Nephew Wen and Jiang Song," the red-haired cultivator said. "The Tai Su Domain has been broken, and the clouds have dissipated, so it's not so dangerous outside anymore."

"Wait, wait a minute," the fat monk said.

"What's wrong?" the red-haired monk asked.

“Listen,” the fat monk said.

The gentle, melodious sound of the teapot rang out.

Li Chuan finally activated the Heavenly Sound Pot. As the sound spread, his consciousness expanded continuously: the Golden Flame Sea, the Phoenix Terrace, the Sunset Secret Realm, the Nine Seas...

He is all-knowing and all-powerful; he sees the beginning and the end of everything.
