Episode 144

  Chang'e stood on the top of a stone mound, her beauty stunning the heavens. The silent and voiceless woman beside her was actually Chang'e's borrowed body. At that time, one woman gazed into the distance at the Wanjie Yuan Ru Array, while another woman had her eyes slightly closed, her consciousness slowly unfolding, cautiously and carefully, fearing that the heavenly tribulation would be aware of it, and great disaster would befall them.

  "So many have come this time! All of you want to take my insufficient brother? Hmph! You detestable little rascals, even if it means risking our lives, we must resolve this difficulty!"

  Chang'e transformed again into a hairpin and jumped onto the borrowed body's beautiful hair. Then, riding the wind, she flew towards the mouth of the Wan Jie Valley, where the law array was located.

  At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed by, and then the ground shook and a loud explosion was heard. It was Chang'e's tribulation of great power, and at this time, her heart was also shaken.

  "Could it be that the Wan Jie's Abyssal Gate Formation has been broken?"

  Chang'er was shocked, and the cloud rose straight up to the ninth heaven. She opened her eyes wide and looked carefully. It turned out that a formation had exploded with a loud noise, shaking the earth's pulse, causing several places to collapse, and smoke, fire, and dust rolled around, filling the air.

  Rumble!

  Rumble!

  ······

  One after another, the formation exploded with a loud noise. For a time, the sky and earth were filled with smoke and dust, and the mountains shook and collapsed. The formation continued to explode one after another, and incredibly lasted for half a day! In this vast desert, the ground cracked and split into valleys, as if an ancient continent had been wounded, twisting and turning into a huge wound. This wound was over a hundred miles wide, starting from here, stretching all the way to the South China Sea, extending for thousands of miles. Among them, countless ordinary villages, several large and small towns were completely destroyed, and not a single person survived! Along with the ordinary beasts, demons, and birds, the number of those who perished was uncountable!

  Yuán wàn jié yuān jiù dì, jìn wàn shí dà zōng mén dì zǐ、mén rén sǐ yú fēi mìng. Gǒu huó zhě tà yún qǐ zài qiān zhàng gāo kōng, jīng yà mó míng. Huǐ miè jiàng lín rú shì zhī kuài, rú shì zhī jù, mò shuō jiǎo xìng shēng huán zhī bù duō dī jiē dì zǐ, biàn shì gāo jiē dà néng zhě zhī xiū yě shì jīng bù yù sǐ, máng rán bù zhī suǒ cuò.

  "How did it come to this? How did it come to this?"

  The numerous heroes and great virtuous ones put aside their mutual animosity and all gathered together.

  "How did it come to this?"

  "Where is the Ancestor of the Easy-to-Repair Gate?"

  "I am here. What instructions do you gentlemen have?"

  "This place is the Wan Jue Yuan, it belongs to you all. Such a situation, I don't know if the old ancestor can enlighten us?"

  "Alas! This calamity is a great sin that reaches the heavens! The crimes of these monks are none greater than this!"

  "Don't spout such nonsense! You're just a common, worldly creature, if you die, then so be it, what's there to lament? But this sudden turn of events, what's the reason behind it?"

  "The Wan Jie Abyss was formed in ancient times, its interior with discordant yin and yang, the five elements difficult to reconcile. We cultivators who enter this abyss, our spiritual powers cannot save us, our divine abilities are useless, even our spirits cannot escape the body more than three or two zhang away, no different from ordinary people. And yet in this abyss, strange and bizarre creatures are constantly born, evil demons and monsters that bring harm to humans, even in ancient times, this place was a site of extreme danger. Later, great cultivators of the past used their boundless divine abilities, entered the abyss, set up arrays, and restricted those with inferior spiritual powers from entering or exiting the abyss, lest those with malicious intentions destroy the array and bring about disastrous consequences once again."

  "How is it that you have it again in your hands?"

  A masked monk asks about the Tao.

  "Thousands of years ago, my ancestors founded our sect here and created this abyss for use. It was also used to set up arrays to deter evil spirits, reduce their danger, and allow low-ranking disciples of our sect to either enter the abyss for training or pick spiritual herbs and take materials for alchemy. Three thousand years later, a great array master of our sect committed a crime and was thrown into this abyss. He actually survived and stayed in the abyss for hundreds of years without incident. Moreover, he set up various large arrays within the abyss, making it impossible for our sect's cultivators to use it again. From then on, this place became the site where our sect's high-ranking cultivators would imprison and punish offenders."

  "So that's how it is! This calamity was probably caused by the explosion of all sorts of magical arrays!"

  Cultivating the Tao

  "Impossible! Could it be that hundreds or even thousands of large-scale explosions could have such power?"

  "This is indeed possible. In ancient times, it was said that the Linked Ring Formation had such power! The Linked Ring Formation, one formation induces another, and the formations are stacked, with boundless might! If there are formations like this, with such power, then I am not surprised!"

  Thus, the cultivators looked at each other and guessed the reason for this place. It was as if there were no enemies, and the words between them were warm and elegant, without any intense parts. If it were not for the new arrivals, it would be hard to imagine that in this place, several groups of cultivators had been staring at each other like enemies just a moment ago, with swords and knives pointing at each other, all ready to kill and fight at any moment. And yet now they were like friends, speaking warmly to each other! It was because such a tragic scene had occurred that there must be no other living things in this abyss! Destruction was so complete, there was nothing left to fight for!

  "Oh dear! Look! What is that colorful thing on top of the cloud?"

  Suddenly, a loud voice came from beside. The crowd looked up and saw a spherical object emitting dazzling light, and a white-robed female cultivator cast a spell to capture the object and rushed westward quickly.

  "The host of the door, it seems that the female cultivator is indeed a woman like you!"

  "Hmm! It's that wicked creature!"

  Taiyi Zhenren said with a cold tone.

  "Chase!"

  The master of the gate gave a loud order, and dozens of cultivators flew out in an instant, rapidly chasing after him.

  Whoosh!

  Whoosh!

  The five teams of soldiers rushed to flee in a hurry, and there were also dozens of people who chased after them in a hurry.

  On the cloud head, they talked and laughed with great virtue and talent, looking at each other for a moment, then showing the momentum of drawing swords and bows, no longer as calm as before.

  In the west of the ancient land of Wan Jie, a white cloud suddenly appeared and disappeared, flashing only a few times before it was already tens of thousands of feet away. On the cloud, there was a woman who was actually Heng'e's borrowed body, who at this time anxiously and urgently called out:

  "Brother is not enough! Brother is not enough! Hurry up and wake up! Faster......"

  After a while, the ball-like object emitting colorful light on the cloud head quietly passed by and merged into the insufficient body. The insufficient eyes slightly opened, and let out a few groans.

  "Hmm! Hmm! ... Ah yeah! Painfully kill someone!"

  "Not bad, brother, you're lucky!"

  Looking around in all directions, I find myself above the clouds, and my eyes reveal a vague expression.

  "Oh! Ah yeah! Chang'er, how did you end up here? How did you enter this boundless abyss?"

  Insufficient funds.

  "Brother Insufficient, Wan Jie Yuan has been destroyed, you have escaped too!"

  Chang'e shed tears and said.

  "Oh!"

  Insufficient as if in a state of confusion and uncertainty.

  Chang'e saw that the elixir was insufficient, and in great haste, she thought that if she were to fall into the abyss of a myriad calamities, it would be too long, and her spirit would suffer damage. At this time, she was already unclear and confused.

  "Insufficient elder brother, you must not scare Qinger."

  "What? Someone has escaped? Mengmei, am I dreaming?"

  "Ah! Insufficient elder brother, you're not stupid!"

  "What nonsense is this? This little girl, what is she talking about! Eh? Are there many cultivators chasing after us? Zhen'er, are the pursuers not the Ten Great Sects and the Hidden Cultivators?"

  "Insufficient elder brother, apart from them, even the Da Fang Zhou family is also pursuing! There are also several groups of cultivators, but I don't know what they are?"

  "The Great Ark Family! Not a loss for the millennia-old family, not giving up until the goal is reached! He wanted to snatch the treasure and kill people, yet he didn't stop for dozens of years! Admiration! Admiration! However, my physical body is strong but cannot break through, what can I do? Chang'er, what can I do? What can I do?"

  "Run! Insufficient brother."

  "What else can be done?"

  It is not enough to say that it is so.

  Chang'e let out a long sigh and urged on the cloud beneath her feet, racing swiftly away.

  Afterwards, the pursuing soldiers followed in five routes. When they couldn't catch up for a short while, suddenly two teams split and rushed out quickly. Chang'er saw this and became anxious, at that time she used a little more strength, but still couldn't use her great magical power, only driving the cloud with ordinary speed. Although so, dark clouds were already rising on the horizon. Chang'er sighed and said:

  "Insufficient brother, if Chang'er concealed some things from you, would you be angry?"

  "What's wrong? Even if Chang'er is telling a lie, it's for your own good. Why would you get angry?"

  "Brother, you're really great!"

  "Halt! You two youngsters, where are you going?"

  A loud shout, the front has been blocked by several people. Looking around, I see that we are surrounded by dozens of people on all sides, with no way to escape!

  "Chang'e, descend from the cloudy peak and go to the top of that mountain."

  Insufficient words spoken, no fear in mind, no regret in heart, no intention of fleeing for life!

  "Not enough, brother?"
