However, without breaking through, one's lifespan will be terminated, which is why some people are stuck at the Heavenly Venerable Realm but have no choice but to break through.
At this moment, countless forces and experts across the Tianyu Continent were all heading in one direction: the largest forest on the Tianyu Continent.
Dragon Abyss Forest.
Dragon Abyss Forest is located in the center of the Heavenly Domain Continent. Legend has it that it is the sacred land of the dragon race. In the middle of the forest is a huge lake called Gathering Dragon Lake.
Legend has it that there is a mysterious dragon ruin beneath Julong Lake, and although some have gone down there, none have ever returned.
This forest is full of magnificent scenery, such as huge mangroves and various colorful pools, but often such beauty hides countless dangers and unknowns.
"Young Master, there are countless aquatic spirit beasts beneath this Dragon Gathering Lake. Do we really want to go down?"
"Of course not. This secret realm appeared suddenly, so let's observe it by the lake first."
"Brother Yu, I heard that Grandpa Feng gave you the divine artifact Thousand Threads Scroll this time. Is that true?" A girl in a pink dress asked with a smile, seemingly innocent, but her eyes were full of calculation.
Feng Yu nodded. His grandfather had indeed given him the divine artifact; there was no point in hiding it.
At that moment, a bright light appeared on the horizon, followed by a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, that shook everyone present.
"Young Master, it seems that this secret realm will open soon. We must find a good location first and seize the initiative."
“Qing Gu is right,” Feng Yu said.
"Brother Yu, why don't we all ride my flying fish? That way we can get to Julong Lake quickly," Jiang Xin said with a smile.
"Xin'er's flying fish can shield her from the oppressive aura of the forest's spirit beasts, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble. What do you think, Brother Feng?"
The speaker was Jiang Xin's older brother, Jiang Ling.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Xin'er." Feng Yu nodded.
Just as Jiang Xin was about to take out her contracted beast, another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking the spot where they were standing.
"careful!"
"Get out of the way!"
Everyone reacted quickly and dodged. A loud bang seemed to pierce their eardrums. Everyone in the Dragon Abyss Forest was frightened by this scene. At the same time, a dazzling purple light stung everyone's eyes, forcing them to cover their eyes while on guard.
As the purple light illuminated the entire Dragon Abyss Forest, the spiritual cultivators kept moving in that direction, eager to see if there were any treasures and to get a share of the spoils.
A moment later.
As the smoke and purple light dissipated, a large crater was left on the ground.
The group stood guard at a distance, their eyes fixed on the pit in the distance.
"Brother Yu, what happened?"
Feng Yu shook his head. This was the first time he had ever seen such a situation. Purple lightning... Could it be that someone nearby was advancing in cultivation and they happened to be passing by, which is why the lightning struck them?
Just as he was thinking about these things, Qing Gu had already arrived above the pit. "Young Master, there seems to be someone inside."
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward to check.
"It really is! But there was clearly a lightning strike just now, how could there be someone inside?"
Jiang Ling asked, puzzled.
Feng Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the person in the pit. He couldn't see the person's face clearly at this moment, but it was not difficult to tell from the clothes and appearance that the person in the pit was a woman.
"Qinggu, go down and take a look."
The man named Qinggu beside her nodded, then jumped down into the pit and carefully approached Ji Jiuying. He gently brushed aside the hair covering her face, checked her breath, and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, she's still breathing!"
Qinggu stood up, but because Ji Jiuying had her back to them, they couldn't see her face.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu thought for a moment. As an alchemist, saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. "Qing Gu, carry her up here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin stopped him, "Brother Yu, our destination is Julong Lake, we can't afford to delay any longer..."
Feng Yu reached out to stop her, "Xin'er, how can we, as the younger generation of leaders of Sifang City, be so heartless and refuse to help those in need?"
Jiang Xin's face turned pale upon hearing this. How could Brother Yu call her heartless for the sake of a half-dead person!
“Brother Feng, how can you say that about Xin’er? She was only thinking of everyone. Besides, what Xin’er said is true. Our purpose in coming out is Julong Lake. If we are late and miss the opportunity, wouldn’t that benefit others?”
Jiang Ling said seriously, and Feng Yu then realized that he had indeed spoken a bit too harshly. He turned his head to look at Jiang Xin, who looked aggrieved, and said, "Xin'er, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. Please forgive me for the sake of our childhood."
Jiang Xin's expression softened a bit: "Alright then, I forgive you, but we must leave here immediately."
Feng Yu paused, glancing at the woman below the pit. Jiang Ling frowned at Jiang Xin, thinking, "Your brother has already helped you so much, how can you still be so greedy!" Although Feng Yu said he would tolerate many things, that was only because they hadn't crossed his line.
"Xin'er, don't be silly. Since we've run into him, let's check on his injuries first," Jiang Ling quickly said, defusing the awkward situation.
Jiang Xin looked at her brother in confusion. Jiang Ling gave her a few meaningful glances, and only then did Jiang Xin belatedly realize what was going on.
“Brother is right, let’s take a look first.” Jiang Xin smiled sweetly, looking very beautiful, but her bright, clear eyes were filled with ruthlessness and a sinister look that didn’t suit her appearance.
Feng Yu then looked at Jiang Xin with admiration.
"Bring Qinggu up."
The man named Qing Gu picked up Ji Jiu Ying, flew up, and gently put her down. The hair that had been covering her face fell to the sides, revealing her stunning beauty.
Everyone held their breath, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
The girl's exquisite face was as smooth and lustrous as warm jade, with delicately drawn eyebrows and an exceptionally vibrant blood lotus between them, alluring yet carrying a dangerous aura. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes cast faint shadows like bamboo fans. Dressed in red, her long black hair was casually draped over her body, making her appear both ethereal and demonic. This was truly the epitome of beauty that could topple kingdoms.
Everyone present was stunned. Jiang Xin stared intently at the peerless face lying on the ground. How could she be so beautiful? She was originally known as the most beautiful woman in Sifang City. She dared not compare herself to Fairy Xin Yao of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. But this person of unknown origin and without even spiritual power was so beautiful. This was more painful than killing her!
Standing next to her, she paled in comparison. Jealousy began to creep into her heart. When she came to her senses, she realized that Feng Yu and her own brother were both captivated by her, and she was instantly filled with rage.
