Fang Xiu stepped onto the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle and flew towards the Moon God Ruins.
He absolutely had to go to the Moon Goddess Ruins, because he didn't believe that a cautious person like Xu Ruohai would die under the Heavenly Tribulation. If it were any other demigod, they might have died, but Xu Ruohai was not necessarily a bad person.
Given the opponent's personality, they must have prepared more ways to protect themselves than to attack. Most importantly, this tribulation is mainly aimed at the Moon Wheel, not the Void Sea, so it is not absolutely impossible to avoid.
Therefore, Fang Xiu plans to go to the Moon God Ruins to cultivate for a period of time, first to improve his strength, and at least to gain some self-protection. This time he relied on the tribulation of the divine artifact to repel Xu Ruohai, but he might not be so lucky next time. There is no guarantee that other demigods will come after hearing the news.
Whoosh!
The Flowing Cloud Sky Shuttle accelerated instantly, and the dark blue runes engraved on its body flowed like water, bursting with dazzling light. It disappeared from its original spot in an instant, and when it reappeared, it was already a thousand miles away!
This is the ability of the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle: it can teleport short distances instantly. Although the speed is extremely fast, it also consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. It is only because Fang Xiu has now broken through to the sixth rank that he can barely control the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle to teleport. Otherwise, he would not be able to control it at all.
The transition from the fifth to the sixth rank may seem like just the addition of a spirit body, but in reality, it's not. One's own spirituality also undergoes a qualitative leap. If we compare the mind to the dantian, the 100% spirituality of the fifth rank is like filling the entire dantian, while the spirit body is like having spirituality filling the whole body. The capacity increases dozens of times, and the quality is also greatly improved.
However, even though Fang Xiu was already at the sixth level, when he used the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle to teleport a thousand miles, he drained most of his spiritual energy.
He took out a top-grade Spirit Recovery Pill and put it in his mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into pure power that surged through his limbs and bones, quickly filling him with the depleted spiritual energy. Then he continued to teleport.
Teleport, take drugs, teleport again, take drugs again, and so on, possessing all the resources of a sect—that's how capricious he is.
Of course, even if an ordinary immortal possessed so many elixirs, it would be difficult for them to do what Fang Xiu did, since elixirs also need to be refined. But Fang Xiu doesn't need to, because he has the mouth of the Taotie, which devours everything. For the Taotie, consuming a few elixirs is incredibly easy.
Soon, night fell, and the bright moon cast its cool light.
At this moment, Fang Xiu was speeding across an endless wasteland. He had seen it in the Records of the Nine Provinces; this place was called the Great Wilderness.
Vast and boundless, desolate and uninhabited, if Nanyue is already considered the borderland of Yunzhou, then the Great Wilderness is the borderland within the borderland, belonging to the junction of the Nine Provinces and the land abandoned by the gods.
It's not that once you leave Kyushu, you're on a strange and eerie other side; the buffer zone between the two sides is the Great Wilderness.
Legend has it that the Great Wilderness is a very peculiar place. During the day, it is the domain of living beings, but at night it is the paradise of demons. Therefore, there is a proverb that is widely circulated in the Great Wilderness: "Never go out after dark."
By this time, it was already dark.
Boundless darkness surged in from all directions. Fang Xiu, riding the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle, stood atop the clouds. Looking down, he saw what seemed to be a gigantic maw of abyss slowly devouring this world.
Behind him lay Nanyue, which had become somewhat hazy in the darkness, like a dream, as if it were about to disappear at any moment.
The amazing thing is that when the boundless darkness enveloped Nan Yue, it was as if there was an invisible dividing line separating the darkness and keeping it out.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly: "Is this the power of the divine kingdom?"
He looked down at the earth again and saw that, in the endless darkness, there were many faint points of light scattered on the ground, like stars in the dark night sky, except that one was in the sky and the other was on the ground.
Holy Eye. Open!
When he opened his Holy Eye, he was astonished to find that each of those tiny points of light was actually a god!
To be precise, they are statues of gods, scattered throughout the Great Wilderness, emitting a faint glow that envelops the area. Within this enveloping area are numerous small villages, each with its own lights and people moving about, yet no one dares to step outside.
Fang Xiu suddenly realized: "So there are also villages where humans live in the Great Wilderness, and there are statues of gods guarding these villages, so they are not afraid of the night. Isn't this a miniature divine kingdom?"
The Nine Provinces are guarded by a true god, protecting the world, while these small villages are protected by divine statues, untouched by darkness.
Gradually, the darkness grew thicker and thicker, even spreading to the sky above where Fang Xiu was.
The azure runes on the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle surged, forming a light shield resembling a starry curtain, keeping the darkness at bay.
However, Fang Xiu waved his hand and directly removed the light shield, and darkness instantly flooded into the cabin like a tide.
He was surrounded by endless darkness.
Soft, fragmented murmurs, chewing sounds, and flapping wings reached my ears, accompanied by a familiar scent filling my nostrils.
Fang Xiu took a deep breath, his spirits lifted, and a sinister smile crept onto his lips: "The smell of gray fog, I really miss it."
Indeed, wisps of gray mist mingled with the darkness, and the source of the sound was naturally the eerie, familiar snake and insect.
"It seems that the Great Wilderness is filled with the power of the Other Shore and the divine power of the Nine Provinces. The two sides clash within it, forming a delicate balance. So by day this place is the dwelling place of living beings, and by night it is a strange paradise. However... it is also my paradise!"
Fang Xiu controlled the Flowing Cloud Sky-Breaking Shuttle to descend rapidly. Previously, because it flew too high, the snakes and insects could not get close. Now that the altitude has decreased, the snakes and insects immediately surged like a tide, as if they wanted to devour him completely.
However, the moment they charged forward, they were met with the maw of the Taotie.
The Taotie's mouth opened wide, forming a black hole like an abyss, and a terrifying suction force surged forth, frantically devouring the endless snakes, insects, and strange creatures around it.
Suddenly, a look of satisfaction flashed in Fang Xiu's eyes, like a traveler who had not eaten for a long time suddenly enjoying a sumptuous meal.
"This taste... surpasses even the elixir of immortality."
Just then, suddenly, a full moon pierced the darkness and sped towards them.
"My lord, your old servant has arrived!"
It was the moon wheel driven by the Kunlun maggots.
The moon arrived in an instant, flying suddenly to Fang Xiu's front.
It is covered with dense cracks, like a mirror about to shatter, as if it will break at any moment.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "You failed the tribulation?"
