Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 308

Children cried in the ruins, and people who lost their loved ones had empty eyes, like walking corpses. They had fallen into despair, and living a good life had become a luxury.

In the forest, monsters are also struggling to survive. Some have even mutated, and it is common for them to eat their own kind. They seem to have lost their minds and are in a daze.

Gu Shihan felt heavy-hearted. Whenever she saw young animals or orphans along the way, she would not hesitate to send them to the designated areas to live.

Yes, there is already a living area in the Moonlit Space. Gu Shi has arranged for people to live in some places, but these people are currently only mortals and not cultivators.

The Moonlit Space has several mountain ranges, and these young beasts can grow freely there. However, choosing one would still be a bit of a dilemma for Gu Shihan.

After the Moonlit Space was upgraded, the so-called Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, and Immortal Realm appeared. Currently, only the Mortal Realm is suitable for human habitation. She wants to take people to the Spirit Realm or Immortal Realm? But she still needs the Blood Pact method. Therefore, at present, only the Mortal Realm is open.

Earlier, Gu Shihan had placed plants, animals, and other things suitable for growth in the mortal realm in various places.

They grow freely and can now be considered to have completed their own cycle. These young beasts have not yet awakened their cultivation skills, so they can reproduce in the mortal realm without causing any crisis to the people and things in the mortal realm. On the contrary, they can help the plants and animals of the mortal realm evolve.

"Hanhan, there are now no fewer than 100,000 mortals. They are already self-sufficient and may be able to begin their cultivation journey in a while. At that time, they will be able to ascend to the spirit world. Will our mission be able to take another step forward?"

"You could say that, but there's still a long way to go! We're far from meeting the requirements of the mission. Those people or things that have been corrupted can't enter. How much of it is still pure now?"

"Sister, don't be discouraged. Everyone is starting to save themselves now!" Yu Tong quickly comforted her.

“Yes! We must save ourselves. If only we had known this would happen in the first place! Let’s go! We should just do what we’re supposed to do!” Gu Shihan nodded slightly.

When the three arrived at Sunset Canyon a month later, Xingbai frowned and said, "Hanhan, the atmosphere in Sunset Canyon is not right. The atmosphere here is very strange."

“Sister, there’s definitely something strange about this place. The rocks in this valley are weird too. They’re all jagged and strange. Look! Some of them look like hideous ghost faces, and some look like sharp blades. It’s so strange!” Yu Tong said.

Gu Shihan looked up at the sky, which was shrouded in a thick haze, as if the sunlight would never penetrate it. A stench filled the air, making one want to vomit.

"Be careful!" Gu Shihan reminded them, cautiously stepping into the canyon, constantly alert to any movement around her. She activated her spiritual power and divine sense to the fullest extent, not missing any abnormalities.

Suddenly, a group of dark figures swooped down from the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

These shadowy figures were ghostly and incredibly fast, instantly surrounding the three of them.

Gu Shihan looked closely and discovered that these shadowy figures possessed a strange dark energy, and each of them exuded strong hostility.

The dark figures lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that seemed like their roar.

Xingbai swiftly drew his weapon, his powerful aura overwhelming, attempting to force back the shadowy figures.

Gu Shihan wielded the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword, her sword moves were fierce and her sword energy was powerful. Each sword energy carried a strong spiritual energy fluctuation, shattering the approaching shadow.

But the shadows seemed endless; no matter how many were repelled, new ones would pounce.

Not to be outdone, Yu Tong formed hand seals, and streams of flame shot out, illuminating the dim canyon.

The flames roared, dispelling some of the surrounding darkness, but the shadowy figure seemed unfazed by the fire, merely pausing before charging forward again. Gu Shihan's heart sank. "Xingbai, Yutong, be careful!"

"Sister, they seem to be immune to fire as well, what should we do?" Yu Tong realized that these shadowy figures were no ordinary enemies.

Gu Shihan nodded slightly, closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and mobilized the spiritual power within her body, trying to sense the weaknesses of these dark figures.

Her consciousness sank into the depths of spiritual power, searching for the origin of these shadowy figures.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she remembered an ancient sealing technique recorded in ancient books, which might be able to deal with these shadowy figures.

"Since fire is of little use to them, then seal them. If that doesn't work, we can purify them. I, Gu Shihhan, refuse to believe I can't deal with you!" A fierce glint flashed in Gu Shihhan's eyes as she immediately began to use the sealing technique.

She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and golden runes flew from her hands, enveloping the dark figures.

Wherever the runes touched, the shadowy figures let out painful howls, and their originally solid bodies began to become illusory.

The runes shimmered with golden light, colliding with the dark energy of the shadowy figure and emitting a hissing sound.

Seeing this, Xingbai and Yutong's confidence soared, and they attacked the shadowy figure even more fiercely.

With the combined efforts of the three, the number of shadowy figures gradually decreased until they all disappeared.

After a fierce battle, all three were exhausted. They found a relatively safe place and sat down to rest.

As Gu Shihan recovered her strength, she pondered the battle she had just fought.

She always felt that the appearance of these shadowy figures was not accidental, but rather a trap deliberately set by someone, and that all of this was inextricably linked to the mysterious telepathy and the secrets of Sunset Canyon.

She recalled every detail of the battle, trying to find clues.

After resting for a while, the three continued deeper into the canyon. As they went on, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.

Strange patterns and symbols appeared on the ground from time to time, emitting a faint light, as if telling ancient stories.

Gu Shihan carefully observed these patterns and symbols, trying to find some clues.

She crouched down and gently touched the patterns, feeling the energy fluctuations they contained.

Just then, a deep rumbling sound came from ahead, as if some huge object was approaching. The three immediately became alert, gripped their weapons tightly, and prepared for battle.

Their eyes were filled with wariness as they watched the direction from which the sound came.

A moment later, a colossal figure appeared before them. It was a behemoth, as large as a mountain, covered in black scales, each scale gleaming with a cold, icy light.

Its eyes, like burning blood-red flames, revealed endless brutality and ferocity.

The behemoth's body was enormous; every step it took caused the ground to tremble, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed by its aura, emitting a buzzing sound.
