The atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became heavy again.
Although they didn't know the exact location of the key, they already knew that, given the nature of those evil cultivators, being taken to the underworld by them was practically a foregone conclusion.
After finally dealing with the strange gas and the white fluff, and breaking the barrier of the first six layers, we thought we had finally seen hope, but this is the result.
"Old wizard, do you know how to find that key?" Shen Sanruo frowned slightly, her tone revealing no emotion.
Then he sighed almost imperceptibly, "In any case, let's look for it first. We should try all the methods before making a conclusion."
Perhaps this is where the problem lies: even though they found the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers, they still couldn't destroy the Yin World.
That also cannot stop them from returning to the cultivation world and taking over it.
Everything seemed to be proceeding according to the trajectory predicted by the Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. They knew this, but were powerless to change it.
“That’s true. No matter what, we need a definite answer before we can give up on this path.” The Taoist Master Wuwei’s eyes were deep.
As long as there is even a sliver of hope, they cannot give up prematurely.
"Let's give it a try, what if? What if those evil cultivators suddenly lose their minds?"
"Yes, let's look for it first."
Others said the same thing.
Even Zhu Miao rarely jumped into the old wizard's arms and nuzzled him with her head.
But everyone knew in their hearts that they were just waiting for their death sentence.
"I do remember there is a way to find it, but I need to think about the specifics carefully. Please give me some time."
The cave fell silent, a silence that only heightened everyone's anxiety.
The old wizard was also very anxious, thinking hard and recalling all the relevant information.
He didn't need much time to think about it; he remembered it in just fifteen minutes.
"I'm starting." He said no more and began casting the spell.
A golden line extended from the keyhole of the door lock, heading straight up into the cave.
"This thin thread will connect to the key, so let's wait and see," the old wizard said.
The group then shattered the barrier above the cave and followed the thin line back to the ground, keeping a close eye on the direction in which the line extended.
But the thin line broke off not far from the ground and did not continue to extend.
The situation is quite obvious: if the key is within the cultivation world, the fine thread will continue searching for the key's location.
This stagnation can only mean that it has sensed that the key is in another world, and it cannot find it.
Seeing this scene, everyone seemed to have all their strength drained away.
"So, I was indeed taken to the underworld by those evil cultivators after all?" Fang Yu murmured to himself.
Are they still unable to stop heretical practitioners?
The outcome was almost a foregone conclusion, and everyone was dejected.
"Since we cannot destroy the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers, we should immediately return to prepare our defenses and deal with any subsequent attacks from the evil cultivators," said True Monarch Gu Ci.
There is no time for them to become decadent and withdrawn.
Just as everyone composed themselves and prepared to abandon the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers and return to their respective sects...
The old wizard suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Wait!"
"The derivative worlds of the cultivation world are not limited to the Yin World; there is another world as well." He spoke very quickly.
Upon hearing this, the words "transitional boundary" immediately came to mind for Shen Sangruo and the others.
"You mean, the key might still be in the Transition Zone?" Mingxi asked.
However, the transitional realm was formed after the evil cultivators fled to the underworld. Moreover, since they could keep the key with them, why would those evil cultivators bother to send the key to the transitional realm?
The chances of the key appearing in the transition zone are extremely slim.
However, it's worth a try if it's possible.
Mingxi and everyone else thought so.
But the old wizard said with certainty, "The key is in the transition zone. I sensed it through that thin thread. I'm very sure of it."
He could naturally think of the concerns that Mingxi had.
So when he sensed that the direction indicated by the thin line might be a transitional boundary, he had some doubts.
But after confirming it several times, he was certain that it was indeed a transitional boundary.
The old wizard didn't know how to describe the feeling. "The direction the thin line pointed to was very close to the cultivation world, and it even seemed to be about to pass through the barrier between the two worlds."
"The connection between the underworld and the cultivation world has been severed. If the key were in the underworld, the thread would definitely not react this way."
Is this really true?
“Absolutely true.” The old wizard would never joke about such a thing.
"If we're in the transition zone, then we still have a chance!"
Who cares why the key appeared in the transitional realm, as long as it benefits them!
"I have been suppressing my cultivation level for some time now, so I can directly break through to the Void Refinement Realm and go to the Transitional Realm to find the key," said Immortal Lord Changli.
The Azure Phoenix Fairy also said, "This fairy is also welcome."
However, once they reach the Transitional Realm, they will be unable to return to the Cultivation Realm. If the evil cultivators continue to attack, they will be unable to help deal with them.
This is also why they have been suppressing their cultivation level.
"Why go through all this trouble? We're still here, aren't we?" Bai Yi's voice drew everyone's attention.
“They are the Five Divine Beasts, and the Transitional Realm is also within their jurisdiction. They can travel between the two worlds without any restrictions.” Shen Sangruo’s thoughts suddenly became clear.
I almost forgot about Qi Yan and the others.
This makes things much simpler.
Perhaps they could directly ask Zhu Yu, who is in the Transitional Realm, to help them search, which would save even more time.
During the period when the transitional realm was formed, the Yin world and the cultivation world gradually lost contact, and only a portion of evil cultivators entered the transitional realm.
That's why Zhu Yu said before that she could still control the situation in the transitional realm, and that they only needed to focus on the cultivation world.
However, in that case, Zhu Yu should have noticed something amiss much earlier, and the cultivators in the transitional realm would have also sensed something was wrong.
Why couldn't they pass the message down?
Although the predecessors of the transitional realm cannot return to the cultivation world, it is naturally not difficult for them to send a message.
Could it be that those evil cultivators did something to the Transitional Realm, restricting the spread of information, or even turning the Transitional Realm into an isolated island?
Looking back now, she realized that during her last encounter with Zhu Yu, although he didn't say anything explicitly, his words were full of hints.
The more Chen Sangruo thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so she asked Qi Yan and the others, "Have you been to the Transcendent Realm all these years?"
Qi Yan: "Don't underestimate me. I only came out of the Misty Abyss a few years ago."
Qing Shu: "I was trapped in that damned fake cultivation world, and I just got out."
Xuan Ye looked ashamed and lowered his head shyly, saying, "I've never been there either."
Hearing these answers, Shen Sangruo felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if the cultivation world was doomed.
Only Bai Yi was able to move freely.
