Chapter 106 The Great War
Xie Jingxiu didn't see the direction Cheng Shuyan left, but he accidentally hit the mark.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingshu became extremely anxious for a moment.
She has been experiencing inexplicable heart palpitations and has been restless for the past two days.
She originally thought that it was because she was too worried about her sister, but now when she heard what Xie Jingxiu said, she suddenly felt that something might have happened to her sister. She felt something in her heart, and that was why she was inexplicably anxious.
She stood up suddenly and said to the Cheng family members, "I'm going to look for my sister, Sister Qinshu. You can go with Senior Brother Xie and the others."
"How can that be!" Cheng Qinshu quickly grabbed her and said, "You know what happened at Sunset Plain. If Mingshu really went there, you wouldn't be able to save her in time even if you go now. Why take the risk?"
"Yes, Junior Sister Lingshu, it would be useless for you to go now. If those soul-eating ants haven't dispersed yet, wouldn't you be walking into a tiger's mouth if you go now?"
"Junior Sister Lingshu, we will all be teleported out in about seven days. If your sister is still alive, she will definitely be able to be teleported out by then. Why do you want to take this risk?"
Others also hurried to persuade her, even Cen Pianpian pretended to persuade her a few words, but she didn't listen to a word.
Cheng Lingshu looked towards the sunset plain with a determined gaze and said to everyone, "But she is the sister I just found. Whether she is dead or alive, I will find her."
Xie Jingxiu remained silent the entire time, but at this moment he suddenly said to her affectionately, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing his tender affection towards Cheng Lingshu, Cen Pianpian stared at Cheng Lingshu with resentment, but said softly:
"Xie, how could you risk your life like this? If anything happened to you, how would we explain this to the headmaster?"
Xie Jingxiu just walked towards Cheng Lingshu and looked at her with satisfaction: "I can't watch Junior Sister Lingshu take risks. Come on, I'll go with you."
He went to Sunset Plain and saw that it had become a lifeless place and the soul-eating ants had long disappeared.
Cheng Lingshu has always been very cold towards him, so now is a good time to get closer to her.
……
After Cheng Shuyan and the other person entered the inner area of Sunset Plain, the soul-eating ants were able to devour all the spiritual creatures outside the inner area, and then hid underground and disappeared.
The jade pendant on Ye Chenghuan was given to her personally by the sect's ancestor, the God of Transformation. It possessed 30% of the ancestor's defensive power, and was barely able to protect her body in this soulless place.
Now, after two days, the light of her jade pendant began to dim, and it seemed that it would not last much longer.
As for Cheng Shuyan, after she fainted, the "Twin Theory" in her body began to operate silently, absorbing and refining the dead energy that invaded her body one by one.
The Twin Secret was extremely strange. After she first explored it with her spiritual sense, it transformed into a stream of light and entered her sea of consciousness.
Whenever her cultivation progresses, the next stage of practice techniques and skills will appear.
She is now in the foundation-building stage, and the Twin Secrets reveal the skills of the foundation-building stage.
However, at this moment, the "Twin Life Sutra" suddenly changed. If she was awake, she would find that at this moment, the Twin Life Sutra had a cultivation method that she had never seen before.
This cultivation method is not the method used by immortal cultivators to cultivate spiritual energy, but is based on dead energy, and improves cultivation through cultivating dead energy.
The inner area of Sunset Plain was once a battlefield ten thousand years ago. Countless high-level monks were killed and injured, and the air was filled with deathly aura that never dissipated over the years.
In order to prevent the death energy from leaking out and disrupting the spiritual energy of the immortal world, the powerful people sealed this place ten thousand years ago.
Later, the Forest of No Return was shattered in another great battle, separated from the world of immortal cultivation, and became an independent secret realm. The Sunset Plain also gradually disappeared from the sight of the cultivators.
Now, thousands of years have passed, and except for occasional records in some ancient books, ordinary cultivators have no way of knowing anything about Sunset Plain.
Practicing the "Twin Life Secret" for two days is equivalent to Cheng Shuyan practicing for two days.
In her spiritual altar, a dark spiritual root was slowly taking shape. The weak spiritual root stood upright among the other five spiritual roots, as if it would disappear into thin air at any time.
As her body absorbed more and more death energy, this spiritual root gradually solidified and grew stronger.
Although this change is very small, it should not be underestimated.
Her spiritual power was sealed. Originally, she and Ye Chenghuan were no different from ordinary people. However, at this moment, she could faintly smell the aura of the second level of Qi training. This aura was still rising, and it seemed that she was about to break through to the third level of Qi training.
As his body gradually adapted to the invasion of death energy, Cheng Shuyan's breathing also calmed down.
……
Her consciousness seemed to have crossed the long river of time and entered the battlefield ten thousand years ago.
This state was just like the thirteen years she had spent in "Cheng Dani's" body. She had become a small ball of light again, hiding in the sea of consciousness of the Goddess Xi Yun, quietly watching everything in Sunset Plain.
She saw a kind of demon she had never seen before...
Although Cheng Shuyan has never been to the Demon Realm, he knows that the Demon Realm is actually just a race of humans who cultivate demonic energy. Apart from the different methods of cultivation, they are actually no different from immortal cultivators.
But the demons she saw in Sunset Plains were not any race she had ever seen before, nor had she seen any records of them in ancient books and scrolls.
These demons seem to have no fixed form. They may be a dark cloud, or they may be in the shape of strange beasts. There are even invisible and colorless demons.
Now that she is in the sea of consciousness of Goddess Xi Yun, she also possesses some of Goddess Xi Yun's perception.
She could feel the pressure emanating from those powerful cultivators, and could also tell that there were not only cultivators present, but also powerful demons and spirits.
These demons were fighting with the monks in the Sunset Plain. She clearly could not feel any pressure from them, but the monks who fought against them always died silently.
The war lasted for several months, and she watched with her own eyes as the companions of Goddess Xi Yun died one by one.
She could sense that the goddess was deeply weary, and she could also sense that she seemed to have made some kind of resolution.
The immortal cultivation world relied on its large numbers and mobilized countless fellow practitioners to repel these demons.
Too many immortal cultivators died in Sunset Plains, from the demon race, the human race, and the spirit race...
Those who died were all high-level monks from various races. The Sunset Plain was dyed red with blood, and the blood gathered into a river of blood, which flowed for more than a month.
The Sunset Plain, which was once filled with spiritual energy and covered with spiritual herbs, is now filled with death and no longer has its former splendor.
However, at this moment everyone suddenly discovered that the goddess Xi Yun, who had a high level of cultivation, had disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Shuyan stayed in Xi Yun's sea of consciousness, and saw her every move. She watched this goddess walk through one battlefield after another, collecting the corpses of her companions one after another.
