In a secluded world, after several months of digging and crawling, Shushu and Luli gradually approached the surface from an unknown depth underground.
Sensing the presence of living beings around them, the brother and sister quickly retreated a bit, dug a huge hole again, and transformed from their shrunken original form into human form.
After transforming into human form, the senior and junior disciples first erased the aura and traces in the pit behind them, and then buried the soil they had stored in the space back in.
Only then did they begin digging a hole out from here, using their current form.
Finally, after digging for another half a day, the two of them finally reached the top and emerged from the ground.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, Shushu couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed joyfully, "Finally out!"
Lu Li, who was beside her, did not show his emotions as openly as Shushu, but his eyes were clearly smiling.
They truly never imagined that after being teleported here, they would be underground, and it would take them several months to finally see the light of day again.
Just for the hardship they endured, they'll definitely ask those old men at the academy for more compensation when they get back.
That's right, their trip was to do something for Lingxin Academy. That day, after Longqu took them to see Dean Rao and the current elders of the academy, they entrusted them with a task.
That is to go to the Eastern Long Realm, where they are now, to find the missing former dean Pei Anlan, as well as the academy teachers who came to find him later.
That's how Shushu and Luli learned about Lingxin Academy.
The reason why Lingxin Academy has been able to maintain its position as the number one academy in the Middle Thousand Worlds is that it is responsible for cultivating and selecting suitable talents and sending them to the battlefield outside the domain.
Yes, it's an extraterritorial battlefield.
The world is vast and diverse, generally divided into the upper realm and the lower realm. The upper realm consists of the immortal realm and the divine realm after ascension, while the lower realm is divided into the great thousand world, the middle thousand world, and the small world.
Under each great world are countless medium worlds and small worlds, and the worlds they inhabit belong to the same realm as the Great Vault.
There are countless worlds like the Great Enclosure. With so many worlds, there will naturally be conflicts, and even wars, which are the so-called wars between realms.
A war outside the realm is actually a battle fought in the void outside the world.
After all, battlefields are always cruel and breed countless monsters. In order to avoid destroying the world of living beings, the battlefields between the vast worlds will tacitly choose to fight in foreign lands.
This is done to avoid causing widespread slaughter and being punished by Heaven when ascending to immortality.
However, opening up a battlefield is not a simple matter; it requires a large amount of resources.
Eighty years ago, Pei Anlan suddenly told everyone with great surprise that he had discovered something wonderful that could provide spiritual energy to the battlefield outside the realm.
And as far as he knew, that thing was currently ownerless.
Upon hearing this news, everyone was naturally delighted. Without much hesitation, they decided to get their hands on the item and send it to the battlefield outside the domain, which could be considered as contributing to the Great Vault.
Therefore, Pei Anlan hurriedly passed the position of dean to the current dean Rao, gave him a general explanation of where he was going, and then left in a hurry with a group of people to find something.
When Pei Anlan and his party first arrived at the Eastern Long border, news was still being sent back from time to time.
But as time went on, they sent back fewer and fewer messages. After the last message that they had a definite lead, they never heard from them again.
Because of the gravity of the matter, Lingxin Academy took it very seriously and sent several groups of people to search for it.
However, the results were not good. All the teams sent by the academy initially sent back messages, but then mysteriously disappeared without exception.
Some of the nameplates even broke, and those that didn't break gradually became dull. Some nameplates were covered with cracks, including Pei Anlan and the other members of the first group.
At this point, Dean Rao and the others turned to the Great Vault World for help, or more precisely, to the Extraterritorial War Army Alliance.
Unfortunately, the people sent out by the War Army Alliance also disappeared without a trace.
In addition, the war in the overseas battlefield was intense and manpower was scarce, so in the end only two groups of people were sent there and no more were sent.
Left with no other option, Lingxin Academy had to turn to the Tianji Pavilion in the Great Enclosure Realm, hoping that the Pavilion Master could help with the divination.
In the end, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion did indeed foresee a glimmer of hope, which lay with Tianchen's contractors. This was why they approached Lu Li and Shushu.
It is said that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. In this world, there are their masters and friends, as well as family members they have never met. Moreover, Lu Li knows the abilities of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Therefore, after discussing it, the senior and junior disciples decided to take on the mission, which led to their current operation.
What the senior and junior disciples didn't expect was that those old men from Lingxin Academy, in order to prevent them from being discovered as outsiders like the previous people, would...
They were teleported directly to the bottomless depths of the Eastern Long Realm, which meant that the senior and junior disciples had to dig for several months before finally emerging from the ground.
Thinking of how she had been digging holes with her earth-elemental spiritual power and claws for the past few months to bring the millet back to the surface, she felt her claws start to hurt again. She could only quickly shift her attention and look at Lu Li beside her.
"Senior Brother, where do we go next?"
After saying that, she added, "I don't know where this is. Maybe we should ask someone first."
Lu Li rarely saw what Shushu was thinking. He silently withdrew his hand, which was about to take out the jade slip, and nodded in agreement: "Alright, we'll do as Junior Sister says."
Shushu was busy looking around and didn't notice Lu Li's actions just now.
Hearing that he supported her decision made her quite happy, and she immediately smiled so broadly that her eyes crinkled, and she released the few animals that were causing a ruckus in the space.
Once they came out, they didn't run around. Jiu Ruo quietly cuddled Shu Shu on her back, Tian Luo and Huo Yi wrapped their arms around Shu Shu's wrists, and Tian Chen snuggled into Shu Shu's arms.
Only Shu Chi hadn't come out yet; he was still in the Soul Wood, conserving his energy and fast asleep, preparing to join the fray once Shu Shu found the person.
Lu Li hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, a row of little guys would appear around Shushu.
Everything else was fine, but when he saw Tianchen, who had taken over Shushu's embrace and was baring his teeth at him in a provocative manner, his eyes lit up and his hand swiftly grabbed him.
Before Tianchen could dodge, it seized its fate by the scruff of its neck.
Then, with a casual toss, Tianchen flew out in a perfect parabolic arc.
It happened so fast that Shushu didn't even have time to stop it before Tianchen landed in the bushes in the distance, causing quite a commotion. Shushu's mouth twitched as he watched.
Just as I was wondering whether I should go over and grab some, I heard a rustling sound coming from the other side.
The next moment, Tianchen, its fur all over its body, suddenly flew into the air and flew back rapidly in this direction. It seemed that something was following closely behind in the forest below it.
