After a satisfying meal, Jing Shen put down his wine glass.

A quick glance at the disciples below the stage revealed that they were all holding wine cups and showed signs of being drunk.

"I have never seen the Spirit Sword Sect so prosperous before."

This was not an act of unwarranted audacity, but rather something he observed with his own eyes.

The constant boasting of disciples and elders around him couldn't help but move that indifferent face.

She glanced at Xiao Feng and noticed that he seemed slightly lost in thought.

"Do you have any plans for this trip to the Upper Realm?"

Regarding the matter at Medicine Valley, he understood that Xiao Feng had a clear mind and was definitely methodical in his actions.

However, Xiao Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "I have no plan. I'll just take it one step at a time."

The affairs of the upper realm cannot be glossed over by plans alone.

Seeing that Xiao Feng's face didn't seem to be lying, Jing Shen regretted agreeing to go to the Upper Realm with him.

Without even a plan, appearing in the upper realm is just suicide.

However, he didn't say anything about it openly, but instead drank alone in silence.

"Take those drunk disciples and elders back to their rooms and keep a close watch on the mountain gate to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."

The disciples on duty at the gate clasped their hands in greeting and arranged for many people to escort the elders and disciples present back to their rooms.

Having not rested all night, Xiao Feng and Jing Shen exchanged a glance, both understanding that the other needed to return to his room to rest for a while.

However, the two arrived at Ruxing's room at the same time.

"Are you also worried about the affairs of the Upper Realm?"

Now, the only person who understands the Upper Realm is Ru Xing.

Danger must be prepared in advance; the only way to deal with it is to consult Ruxing.

The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is not like a radish sold on the street, which you can buy at will.

He was a man of flesh and blood; he couldn't believe that Ruxing hadn't found a single clue.

Seeing that Xiao Feng was about to enter, Jing Shen reached out and stopped him: "Wait, let me interrogate her."

He was able to infiltrate the Medicine Valley with ease, so he must have considerable strength. Asking him for advice might be the best way to break the deadlock.

After thinking it over, Xiao Feng agreed and went back to his room to fall into a deep sleep.

Although I didn't drink alcohol, I felt intoxicated inside.

Before we knew it, a day and a night had passed.

When he woke up again, Ruxing and Jingshen were already standing at the door with their bags on their backs.

Judging from their appearance, they were clearly well prepared.

"She agreed to show us the way."

Seeing Xiao Feng's gaze, Ru Xing explained, "I'm just repaying you for giving me the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying."

He picked up his bundle inside the room, casually tossed the Flowing Light Sword into his spatial storage, and followed behind the two.

At the mountain gate, Yue Yang and Zhong Lingbai led a group of disciples to kneel down in unison.

This trip to the Upper Realm might be their last chance to see him, so they dared not be perfunctory.

Now, the sect's candidates have been selected.

If Xiao Feng were to die in the Upper Realm, that person would be able to take control of the entire Spirit Sword Sect.

"Gentlemen, wait for us to come back."

Seeing the Spirit Sword Sect so united, Ru Xing looked on in disbelief, wondering what kind of secret technique he was using.

"call out..."

The three transformed into beams of light and soared into the air, flying on their swords towards the crack.

There are two different ways to go to the upper realm. The first way is to shatter the void and travel to the upper realm through the void passage.

And the passage that is forged through strength is naturally the safest.

Unfortunately, none of the three of them had the ability to do so, so they had to give up.

As for the other method, it is to go to the spatial rift leading to the upper realm, where there are many void thunders.

With their strength, as long as they protect themselves with their spiritual power, they should be able to reach the upper realm smoothly.

In mid-air, Jing Shen glanced at Ru Xing beside him from time to time, his voice as gentle as possible: "You managed to control the situation in the Palace of Bliss?"

When Xing saw Jing Shen ask this question, she answered without reservation, recounting all the impressions in her mind.

For the first time, Xiao Feng felt that his ability was outstanding, that he could actually persuade this hard rock to tell about the affairs of the Upper Realm.

The way the two bickered and teased each other on their journey made them seem very much like a couple.

Seeing the air growing increasingly hot, Xiao Feng looked up at the sun in the sky, then at the yellow sand covering the ground: "We've arrived in the desert."

In an instant, spiritual energy spread out from his body.

Beside her, Ru Xing wore a mocking smile: "With your strength, you shouldn't be able to find the location of the spatial rift."

This wasn't her talking nonsense; she genuinely couldn't find it.

Seeing that she did not continue forward, Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, his expression thoughtful: "I think the crack should be here."

However, the people from the upper realm came to the lower realm and suggested hiding this passage in the desert.

Sure enough, Ru Xing's expression changed slightly upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, but she stubbornly insisted, "Even if you discover the crack, you probably won't be able to open it."

This wasn't because she was ignorant, but because Xiao Feng genuinely hadn't discovered the exact location of the crack.

If they could see the cracks, how could they stay here and do nothing?

At this moment, Jing Shen quietly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly: "It's a bit strange, why can't we see the crack?"

Ru Xing walked up to the two of them, a mocking look on her face: "With your strength, how could you possibly discover the passage to the upper realm?"

Even if we disregard them, I doubt Nie Yingzhuo, even at the Void Realm, would have been able to detect it.

Seeing that he couldn't find it, Xiao Feng looked at Ru Xing beside him with ill intent: "Judging from what you said, I believe you should have the ability to open it, right?"

Ru Xing was stunned by his words, and even the spiritual energy within her body paused for a moment.

"Since you have this ability, please help us open it. We would be extremely grateful."

Jing Shen approached Ru Xing and said, "If you have the ability, I hope you can lend a hand in the rift."

Since there wasn't even a crack, the lightning inside must have been extremely terrifying; lightning as thick as an arm could be a normal occurrence.

Ru Xing watched as Xiao Feng tried to help her open the crack, gritted her teeth, and looked away.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly: "I'm warning you, don't try anything funny in front of us, or I won't hesitate to kill you."

As he said this, his eyes gradually turned murderous.

With his body still recovering from serious injuries, Xiao Feng would certainly be able to kill Ru Xing if he made a move.

Ru Xing felt slightly annoyed when she saw the threatening tone in his voice.

Jing Shen walked up to her and said, "He's a straightforward person, don't mind him, just do what you want."

"You... if I weren't outmatched by you, I would never have opened the door for you."

At this point, Ru Xing took several steps forward, his spiritual power expanded, and he punched the void hard.

In an instant, a powerful spatial force erupted around them.

"boom..."

Thunder, piercing the heavens and earth, descended from the sky and struck the void with devastation.

A massive spatial rift appeared out of nowhere before them, with thunder and lightning flashing throughout the passage.

The power emanating from it alone was enough to send chills down their spines.
