Chapter 996: Unt.i.tled
In the morning.
Yin Rong was awakened by the cries of various birds in the primitive forest.
She opened her eyes and saw that the ceiling window had automatically opened on the vine roof above her. Through that window, she could see the blue sky and white clouds above the primitive forest.
Yin Rong was stunned and subconsciously stood up to look at herself.
!!
Seeing that she was wearing a light yellow nightgown and was not exposed, Yin Rong heaved a sigh of relief.
“Did you oversleep because you were too tired on your wedding night?”
A teasing female voice came from the roof.
Yin Rong raised her head in shock and saw Yu Huang jump down from the window and land in the middle of their bedroom.
Yin Rong was speechless.
“Patriarch, why are you here?” Yin Rong was stunned.
Unexpectedly, on the morning of the second day of their marriage, the first person she saw was not her husband, but Yu Huang.
Yu Huang smiled and said, “I’m here to see our beautiful bride.” Noticing that there were many hickeys near Yin Rong’s neck and collarbone, Yu Huang said with a faint smile, “Seems like last night went well.”
Yin Rong’s beautiful face suddenly turned red.
She subconsciously got off the bed and walked barefoot to the mirror. When she saw the hickeys on her body, Yin Rong’s face burned. She hurriedly turned around and entered the changing room inside. When she came out again, she had already changed into a white turtleneck sweater and a long gray coat.
As she tied the long belt around her waist, she walked out and lowered her head. “Patriarch, why are you here so early?” After asking this, Yin Rong fastened her belt and looked up at Yu Huang with a serious expression as she said, “Did something happen?”
Last night was her wedding night.
Logically speaking, someone as sensible as Yu Huang would not disturb her early in the morning on the first day after their marriage.
Something must have happened for Yu Huang to appear here.
The smile on Yu Huang’s face instantly disappeared.
“Yin Rong.”
Yu Huang’s tone was too heavy, causing Yin Rong to feel uneasy.
Yin Rong became nervous and asked uneasily, “What exactly happened?”
“Yin Rong, we should set off now.”
“Set off?” Yin Rong was stunned. “Set off to where?”
Yu Huang said, “To the Great World.”
Yin Rong was stunned again.
After the Kunlun Mystic Realm’s training ended, Di Ruofeng told the eight of them that they would go to the Great World.
However, Yin Rong had always thought that after defeating Holy Spirit Goldfeather and successfully resolving the disaster, the plan to go to the Great World had been abandoned. Yin Rong felt bitter and asked in confusion, “Holy Spirit Goldfeather has already completely disappeared. The crisis on the continent has been resolved. Are we still going to the Great World?”
“Now that the Central PaG.o.da has been destroyed, the only way to go to the Great World is to activate the Sky Penetrating Array. However, how much sacrifice does the Sky Penetrating Array require?! If we have to sacrifice four Prime Emperors and a thousand Grand Masters just for our future, I would rather not go!”
Yin Rong was unable to accept this.
She would rather be an ordinary person and slowly grow old. No matter what, she would not go to the Great World if she had to sacrifice her seniors.
Yu Huang smiled bitterly. “Who would be willing to? But we have to go to the Great World.”
Yin Rong looked at Yu Huang in bafflement.
She knew Yu Huang’s character very well. Yu Huang was definitely not the kind of person who would sacrifice her seniors to go to the Great World just to pursue a brighter future.
Moreover, her words just now revealed a lot of helplessness.
Could it be…
“Patriarch, why must we travel to the Great World? Could there be something else going on?”
Yu Huang was about to answer when Yin Rong saw Xiao Shu walking in with Sheng Xiao, Feng Yuncheng, and the others. “Although Holy Spirit Goldfeather has disappeared, the continent’s crisis has yet to come.”
Yin Rong became shocked.
Donor and the others, who were following behind Xiao Shu, also revealed shocked expressions. “What did you say?” Beatrice grabbed Xiao Shu’s arm and questioned him, “Isn’t Holy Spirit Goldfeather the greatest crisis in the Holy Spirit Continent?”
In order to defeat Holy Spirit Goldfeather, all the Beast Tamers of the Holy Spirit Continent joined forces to push down the Central PaG.o.da.
They had worked hard to eliminate Holy Spirit Goldfeather.
However, Xiao Shu said that Holy Spirit Goldfeather was not the greatest danger to the Holy Spirit Continent!
This made Beatrice and the others feel shocked and baffled.
Donor frowned at Xiao Shu, Sheng Xiao, and Yu Huang as he said, “Estelle and I should have returned to the Light Sea after the wedding yesterday, but you said that you had something to tell us. That’s why all of us stayed. Tell us what’s going on.”
Feng Yuncheng nodded and agreed with Donor. “Yes, what happened?”
Yin Rong also asked with a confused expression, “Xiao Shu, what are the three of you hiding from us?”
Sighing, Xiao Shu said, “I called you guys here to bring you somewhere.”
“Where are we going?” Yin Rong asked immediately.
Sheng Xiao looked down at the vine floor under their feet and said in a low voice, “Abyssal rift.”
* *
Two hours later, the eight of them appeared where Yu Huang and Mo Xiao were standing the day before yesterday.
Standing in the pitch-black abyss rift, Feng Yuncheng said in a panic, “The energy here is so chaotic and powerful. Where is this place?” There was an energy that was trying to absorb them. The eight of them held hands and used their spiritual power to resist the energy before barely stabilizing themselves.
Xiao Shu said, “Watch carefully.”
Just like the Grand State Master, he took out a gla.s.s lamp containing a firefly demon beast.
Under the weak light, Feng Yuncheng and the others saw the huge abyss eye in front of them that was like an eye but was continuously absorbing the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Continent. They gasped.
“Hiss—”
Donor stared at the strange abyss eye and realized that the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Continent was being quickly devoured by the eye. He felt his throat go dry and he asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “What is this?”
It was Sheng Xiao’s first time seeing the abyss eye.
To be honest, he was also shocked.
Therefore, Sheng Xiao was too shocked to answer Donor’s question.
However, Yu Huang noticed that only two days had pa.s.sed, but the abyss eye in front of her seemed to be slightly larger than the eye she had seen the night before.
Yu Huang was not sure if this was her illusion or not.
Among the eight people present, Xiao Shu was the calmest.
Xiao Shu told them, “The abyss rift is the same as the Central PaG.o.da. I don’t know how long it has existed on the Holy Spirit Continent. When I was first thrown into the Holy Spirit Mystic Realm by Holy Spirit Goldfeather, it was already there. However, at that time, Holy Spirit Goldfeather only thought that it was an ordinary rift and didn’t care about it. In the beginning, there was nothing unusual in the abyss rift. At that time, there were still trees and plants growing below. I even lived here for a period of time. It was only when Holy Spirit Goldfeather died that the abyss rift changed.”
“What changed?” asked Beatrice.
Xiao Shu told them, “The crack began to emit a gray fog. Before long, all the plants and demon beasts in the crack disappeared. What’s even stranger is that every morning, the abyss would release a rich spiritual power from the inside. At that time, the super demon beasts would gather at the cliff near the crack every morning to cultivate. It’s still the same even now.”
“At that time, although I felt that it was strange, I was killed by Goldfeather Nana before I could investigate the reason.”
“Then when did this eye appear?” This question was asked by Yu Huang.
Xiao Shu tilted his head and looked at Yu Huang as he said, “After leaving the Holy Spirit Academy, as soon as I returned to the abyss, I heard my subordinate report that the abyss no longer released spiritual power outside. I had long been puzzled by this abyss rift, so I jumped into the abyss alone and found this place.”
Xiao Shu pointed at the incomparably huge eye in front of him and said, “This is the center of the abyss rift. When I found this place along the bottom of the rift, I discovered that there was a strange eye in this dark s.p.a.ce.”
At this point, Xiao Shu frowned and his expression became uneasy as he said, “When I first discovered it, it was only the size of a fist.”
Sheng Xiao’s eyes widened. “It’s only been two months since we graduated from the Holy Spirit Academy. In just two months, it has grown to this extent. Its growth speed is really terrifying.”
Yin Rong, Donor, and the others stared at the eye in shock. For a moment, they all held their breaths.
Shock, despair, fear, and all kinds of emotions enveloped their hearts at the same time.
They felt powerless.
