Looking at the three or four square-shaped platform not far in front of them, visible to their divine sense and shrouded in spiritual energy, Liu Yunqing looked at Wuchen with a bewildered expression:

"What is this? A supply point?"

The fact that there are supply points in the Soul-Gathering Valley means what?

Either the Soul-Gathering Ravine is man-made, or someone made arrangements in advance within it.

But in either case, only those who are determined to explore this place can discover this trace.

Those who are willing to explore this place are not just there for training.

After all, among the known texts about the Soul-Stealing Abyss in the cultivation world, there is no description of "descending for more than a month and still not seeing the bottom".

Wuchen was also quite surprised to find a supply point.

This was something the two of them discovered together; it wasn't a secret that couldn't be told. Wuchen nodded and said:

"Although I am unaware of its existence, it appears to be as you describe."

As he spoke, Wuchen stepped onto the supply platform first, circled it once, and then turned to Liu Yunqing, saying:

"Come on up, no problem."

Liu Yunqing nodded his thanks, stepped onto the round platform and sat down. Instead of immediately restoring his spiritual energy, he looked around at the darkness and said:

"We've walked for so long and still can't see the end. We don't know where the Soul-Staying Stream ends."

Wuchen couldn't give an answer because he was also thinking about this question.

He originally thought that once it was confirmed that the Soul-Swallowing Ravine was a rift between realms, he could use this rift to contact the ancestors of higher-level realms and seek a second chance for survival for the Sun Realm.

But now it seems that the undocumented Soul-Gathering Ravine has traces of human activity that look like it was paving a road. Besides the boundary rift, there may be more mystery in it.

Unfortunately, this supply point can only be used to restore spiritual power, but it cannot be used to send messages. Wuchen did not want to give up the investigation.

Since he had already reported the Soul-Stealing Valley incident, he figured it wouldn't matter if he discussed the other details later, so Wuchen gave up on the idea of ​​sending another message.

Having received no answer, the two remained silent for a while before each sitting cross-legged to recover their spiritual energy.

Although the supply station wasn't large, Liu Yunqing found it quite impressive.

This supply platform is made from a single piece of spirit stone and is protected by an array to prevent the spiritual energy from spreading.

Therefore, this supply station is not permanent, but has a limited usage period.

Such a move might be understandable if it were orchestrated by a powerful force, but if it were planned by an individual and continued to be carried out in the future, even the patriarch would find it difficult to accomplish.

"I wonder which powerful being could have done this? Perhaps they've already ascended to immortality?"

Wuchen didn't reply, but simply increased the speed at which he was turning the prayer beads.

Liu Yunqing saw this and knew that there was no way to ascend to immortality.

But Wuchen clearly didn't know about this arrangement, and obviously didn't recognize the person who arranged it, yet he was so certain that he hadn't ascended.

There's only one possibility.

A thought flashed through Liu Yunqing's mind, and she looked at Wuchen and blurted out:

"Could it be that the Sun Realm is incapable of ascension?"

Having just recovered his spiritual power and stood up, Wuchen suddenly turned to Liu Yunqing, displaying the most surprised expression he had ever shown.

How did you guess?

Those who know the real story and can guess it are considered clever.

But Liu Yunqing has only been in the world of cultivation for a few years.

Moreover, no elders from her sect told her these things, and there were not enough sect records to support her understanding of the history of the Sun Realm.

They didn't even know about boundary rifts, only spatial rifts.

How could you think that?

Wuchen regained his composure and pressed for an answer again.

Liu Yunqing had already gotten the answer she wanted, and replied casually with a smile:

"I'm just guessing, so the inability of cultivators to ascend is the calamity of the Sun Realm?"

"So what is the reason for the inability to ascend? What can the Daughter of Destiny do to break this deadlock?"

Wuchen clasped his hands together, concealing the surprise in his eyes, and said to Liu Yunqing:

"You guessed right, but I don't know if I can tell you the specifics yet. I need to ask my master."

"Please keep this a secret until then, otherwise the Sun Realm will be thrown into chaos."

Liu Yunqing naturally understood this principle, and after solemnly promising not to reveal it, Wuchen put away his serious expression and continued:

"As for how the Daughter of Heavenly Fortune will save the Sun Realm, I don't know either. I've only heard that it's possible, but it has never actually been done."

"Furthermore, the chosen one is not always the same. It may be you for the next hundred years, but it may be someone else in the next hundred years. The time frame may be longer or shorter."

"Let's go and see if we can confirm our idea."

After answering the question, Wuchen stopped delving into it and redirected the two's attention back to the current situation.

Liu Yunqing said no more. After rousing themselves, the two stepped into the vast darkness once more.

After more than half a month of continuous fighting, even after a period of rest, the two of them tensed up and went into a state of alert the moment darkness fell.

So when the anomaly occurred, the two reacted immediately, trying to grab each other.

Despite being right behind them, the cultivators, despite their skill, failed to catch each other.

Liu Yunqing felt herself falling rapidly, her spiritual energy seemingly frozen and completely beyond her control, leaving her to resign herself to fate.

It's impossible not to feel panicked.

Once a cultivator loses their cultivation power, the panic in their heart when faced with unknown dangers is no less than that of an ordinary person.

What terrified Liu Yunqing even more was that not only was her spiritual power and divine sense useless, but she couldn't even enter the Golden Crow Space.

Just as Liu Yunqing was thinking that he could only leave it to fate, the cinnabar mark on his brow that Wuchen had made suddenly emitted a warm heat.

Immediately afterwards, Wuchen's somewhat worried and intermittent voice entered Liu Yunqing's mind:

"Fellow Daoist Zhenru...can you hear me?"

Liu Yunqing wanted to speak, but knowing the other party couldn't hear her, she tried to respond with her mind:

"I can hear you, Master Wuchen, where are you? I can't use my spiritual power right now, I can't move anything."

After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, she waited quietly for a response. Wuchen's voice continued to come intermittently, but he did not respond to Liu Yunqing's words, obviously he had not received a reply.

However, considering that Wuchen's voice could be transmitted into their minds through that cinnabar mark, the distance between the two must not be far. It's just that something was separating them, preventing them from sensing each other's location.

Fortunately, the downward trend slowed down after a short while. Just as she was about to land, a strong force suddenly came from behind Liu Yunqing, pushing her forward violently.

Before Liu Yunqing could even cry out in surprise, she felt her body become light and airy.

This feeling was very familiar; she had lived in the rosary for over a hundred years in this light and airy manner.

Has she reverted to her divine soul state?

Or has it returned to the time when it was a divine soul?

"Zhenru, who do you think has such great ability to leave a supply point in the Soul-Stealing Valley?"

Before Liu Yunqing could figure out her own state, she heard Wuchen's clear and gentle voice, which carried a natural sense of compassion.

This is the dustless world a hundred years from now.

Liu Yunqing could tell the difference in the voice with just one listen.

At that time, Wuchen had already successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage with an extremely rapid cultivation speed.

However, in Liu Yunqing's memory, she did not recall that Wuchen had ever been to Jihunjian.

So this is a missing piece of her memory?

She entered her own memories?
