Heavenly Way
Mo Zuili snapped back to reality, still holding the scroll in her hand.
“An illusion…” Mo Zuili, still shaken, took off the Mirage Mirror hanging on her body. The palm-sized fragment of the bronze mirror was now covered with cracks.
Mo Zuili looked up at Mo Yuan, who was also frowning at her. He asked in confusion, "What happened just now? What illusion?"
Did Mo Yuan not notice anything at all?
"There's something wrong with the scroll. I was pulled into an illusion for a moment just now." Mo Zuili handed over the Mirage Mirror and explained what had just happened.
Mo Yuan took the Mirage Mirror, listened to Mo Zuili's words, and then looked at the scroll. His eyes instantly sharpened.
Almost the instant Mo Yuan drew his sword, the entire space began to distort.
The Mo family is renowned for its swordsmanship. Mo Yuan's sword strike, unleashing all its power, cleaved the distorted space in two.
Mo Zuili immediately threw out a talisman and, using the spatial power she had obtained from Qi Shuyan, barely managed to find a path.
Everything happened so suddenly.
"Watch out!" Mo Yuan reacted quickly, pulling Mo Zuili behind him with his left hand and using his longsword to block in front of him with his right.
A sharp clang rang out, causing the cave's rubble to shatter and fall.
Despite not being able to block it, the energy blade still landed on Mo Zuili's thigh.
Mo Zuili leaned against the cold rock wall. Her spiritual power was completely disordered due to the backlash from the illusion and the distortion of space. She could no longer suppress the metallic taste rising in her throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Mo Zuili wanted to raise her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Mo Yuan's mouth, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm, and her consciousness began to fade.
All that could be vaguely seen was Mo Yuan's blood dripping down his clothes and onto the ground.
Mo Zuili felt inexplicably panicked. For no apparent reason, Mo Zuili felt that this was the closest she had ever been to death.
Or rather, there was something that compelled him to die in the Immortal Valley.
"Little girl, reach out your hand!"
Mo Zuili's vision was suddenly obscured by something, turning completely black.
With all her might, she stretched out her hand, and the vibration from her fingertips made Mo Zuili barely realize that she was still alive.
"Father..." Mo Zuili's voice was barely audible. Before she could finish speaking, a spatial rift suddenly exploded beneath her feet, pulling her downwards.
Mo Yuan reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to lift Mo Zuili up by the waist. He stepped on the sword blade and rose into the air, barely avoiding a fall. Before he could regain his balance, he sensed the strange aura from the beginning, like some kind of energy he had never seen before, which suddenly intensified.
After the enhancement, towards...
Mo Yuan lowered his eyes to look at Mo Zuili, his aura locking onto her.
Mo Yuan circulated his spiritual energy to strengthen the protection surrounding Mo Zuili, and without saying a word, he swung his sword, forcefully cleaving open the path that was about to be blocked.
Mo Zuili's vision was completely black. Her thoughts went from the system layout to whether Qi Shuyan had been murdered, and in the end, only the thought of "not wanting to die" remained.
...
"What's wrong?" Qing Shanyue frowned, stopped, and looked at Qi Shuyan.
Qi Shuyan paused for a moment, then clutched her chest and said, "I don't know either, I'm a little panicked..."
Just as he was about to say he was fine and continue, the system in his mind, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Go find Mo Zuili quickly."
Qi Shuyan suddenly stopped, her expression changing drastically as she asked, "What do you mean?"
The system's usually calm voice unusually carried a hint of urgency: "The Heavenly Dao consciousness has discovered her. Move forward and find her quickly!"
Qing Shanyue stared at Qi Shuyan, and was about to ask again when she saw Qi Shuyan say urgently, "I'll go find Sister Li first."
Before Qing Shanyue could ask any further questions, she saw Qi Shuyan, disregarding the enormous consumption of spatial power in the Immortal Valley, cause the space around him to distort and disappear in an instant.
The three members of the Yi family behind Qi Shuyan looked at each other, and finally looked at Qing Shanyue, who had a furrowed brow.
Qingshan Yue knew about Qi Shuyan's relationship with Mo Zuili.
Qi Shuyan's goal in entering the Immortal Valley was even to find Mo Zuili and then follow Mo Zuili's plan.
This person in green robes also knows this.
However, communication is impossible within the Immortal Valley. One can only gradually move towards the inner center. As long as nothing goes wrong along the way, they will eventually meet in the center.
After a long pause, Qing Shanyue slowly said, "Let's explore as quickly as possible and get to the center of the inner layer as soon as possible."
As the Dragon King, Qing Shanyue personally entered the Immortal Valley for the most precious treasure in the center of the valley.
The opportunities along the way, though tempting, were not enough to particularly excite Qing Shanyue.
Moreover, she still owes Mo Zuili a favor. She promised to help deal with the demon race, but Mo Zuili hasn't done anything about it yet.
If Mo Zuili encounters danger in the Immortal Valley, Qing Shanyue will still try her best to help.
However, how did Qi Shuyan suddenly find out Mo Zuili's location? And why was she in such a hurry?
"What is Heaven trying to do? What's wrong with Sister Li now!" Even with the unique spatial power of the Dragon Clan, Qi Shuyan was unable to reach Mo Zuili directly.
There are special restrictions in the Immortal Valley that have a certain influence on spatial power.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Qi Shuyan dared not linger and continued forward while asking the system questions.
The system did not answer Qi Shuyan, but kept guiding her and urging her to hurry on her way.
Qi Shuyan had some doubts about the system's purpose, but before the system could speak, a strange sense of panic made her dare not linger.
"careful."
The system's sudden warning startled Qi Shuyan, causing her to pause for a moment instinctively.
Almost simultaneously, a divine sense swept across.
Qi Shuyan felt like an object being sent into a security screening machine.
Gripping his longsword, Qi Shuyan was on edge. He drew his sword to attack when he noticed the commotion, but his attack was easily blocked.
"Why is it you?"
Qi Shuyan was taken aback; the voice sounded so familiar…
A gray-blue Taoist robe suddenly emerged from the spiritual mist, and the two looked at each other in silence.
The system in Qi Shuyan's mind spoke again, providing directions and urging Qi Shuyan to find Mo Zuili quickly.
Qi Shuyan looked at Chu Qing and said urgently, "Dan Zun, I need to go find Sister Li. She may be in danger."
Chu Qing looked at Qi Shuyan with suspicion for a moment, then her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she said, "Let's go together. I might know where she is."
Qi Shuyan hadn't fully grasped the meaning of Chu Qing's words and instinctively wanted to refuse, but then Chu Qing slowly pointed to a location and said, "Is she here?"
What Chu Qing said was exactly the same as the position the system had given him.
Qi Shuyan was stunned.
Chu Qing grabbed Qi Shuyan, and his powerful spiritual energy and divine sense burst forth. Even without Qi Shuyan's spatial power, he could still shrink the distance by thousands of miles.
Stopping midway, Chu Qing frowned and sighed, "What exactly are you doing? There's a mysterious aura emanating from the places where you and Xiao Li are, especially from you, whose aura is extremely chaotic."
Qi Shuyan should have been nervous about being discovered to have a suspected system.
But the situation was special at this moment. Qi Shuyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt anxious and uneasy. His mind was a mess when Chu Qing asked him the question, and he could only mumble, "I'm not sure either, but Sister Li is in danger right now. Pill Master, can we hurry up?"
Chu Qing gasped for breath. The Immortal Valley was full of spiritual energy, but Mo Zuili's location was too far away. Several teleportations had also consumed a lot of energy.
Chu Qing was about to comfort her, saying that she sensed the energy in Mo Zuili's location was relatively stable for the time being and that she would be fine.
The next moment, the energy suddenly went berserk.
At the same moment, the system's voice sounded in Qi Shuyan's mind again: "She cannot break through now!"
Qi Shuyan was focused on getting there and didn't notice the change in the system's voice.
Before Qi Shuyan could urge her on, Chu Qing grabbed Qi Shuyan and, disregarding the need to conserve her strength, used all her power for the first time since entering the Immortal Valley, cooperating with Qi Shuyan's spatial energy to travel.
Upon seeing Mo Zuili, Qi Shuyan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically. She put down Qi Shuyan and rushed towards Mo Zuili without pausing for a moment.
Mo Yuan, who was guarding Mo Zuili, sensed someone approaching and instinctively drew his sword to stop Chu Qing.
Only after stopping him did Mo Yuan see who it was.
Chu Qing said anxiously, "Something's wrong with this space. She can't break through right now."
Mo Yuan's hand, still gripping the sword, was frozen in mid-air. He was about to explain that he had no other choice when he caught a glimpse of spiritual light emanating from Mo Zuili's body.
This is a sign that you are about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Chu Qing sensed a different scene. The space inside the Immortal Valley was different from the outside world. At this moment, Mo Zuili was surrounded by a mysterious power, which seemed to be trying to absorb Mo Zuili.
Chu Qing didn't have time to say anything more to Mo Yuan. She darted to Mo Zuili like an arrow and, with a flick of her fingertips, stuffed a bright white pill into Mo Zuili's mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and although Mo Zuili's eyes remained closed, she regained a sliver of consciousness.
Chu Qing formed a hand seal, his gray-blue Taoist robe fluttering without wind, and spiritual energy surged out from his body like a tide, weaving a semi-transparent light shield around Mo Zuili.
Chu Qing opened her eyes, a hint of barely perceptible doubt showing in them.
His own spiritual power was actually able to restrain this mysterious feeling...
"Feel the changes of the Five Elements!" Chu Qing's divine sense, carrying the voice, directly entered Mo Zuili's sea of consciousness.
Mo Zuili's consciousness was hazy, and the clarity that the pill had awakened was like a thin layer of ice, which would shatter at the slightest touch.
In a daze, Mo Zuili subconsciously tried to sense the five elements as Chu Qing had instructed.
A cool sensation of water and the vibrant life force of wood actually emanated from my dantian...
Could this also be an illusion? How can I really feel the connection between the five elements?
Metal, wood, water, fire... A cold "gaze" suddenly fell upon me.
It wasn't the divine sense of a cultivator, nor the hostility of a demon beast; it felt like the abyss had opened its mouth, with a sticky, devouring desire, silently wrapping around my limbs.
Mo Zuili tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and she could only hear her own heart pounding in her ears.
No... this doesn't feel like a breakthrough...
Chu Qing and Mo Zuili felt the surge of power almost simultaneously. The clear sky suddenly darkened, and then, purplish-black tribulation clouds gathered at an abnormal speed, churning with the pressure of the Heavenly Dao.
At the same time.
Shen Qingxing, who had just found the cultivation method for Shen Zhi, looked up at the dark sky and raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat puzzled by the mysterious feeling he had inexplicably sensed.
Qing Shanyue paused abruptly, closing her eyes to feel a faint, mysterious sensation.
He wondered what Mo Zuili had done.
Why does every time I enter an unusual place, something happens?
Shangguan Fu'er looked at Huang Tianyao, who had suddenly stopped, with a puzzled expression.
Huang Tianyao covered his dantian, frowned and looked in the direction of Mo Zuili, and slowly said, "Something's not right. I sense a mysterious aura."
Shen Ling stopped mid-sentence with a smile. The sect disciple opposite him, whom Shen Ling had just saved, looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Brother Chu, what's wrong?"
Shen Ling closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "It must be an illusion."
In that instant, he sensed a change in the "Primordial" cultivation technique, which had remained unchanged since he fell into demonic possession.
