Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 150 - 148: The Thousand-Fathom Abyss and the Heaven-Ascending Cliff
"Even I cannot see through what kind of array this is."
"Magnificent, vast and boundless, as if it could contain infinite power!"
"So the ancient ruler of the Northern Territory was truly extraordinary!"
The seven mighty experts exclaimed in awe.
The surrounding strong cultivators glanced at each other, no one daring to speak recklessly, though curses roiled silently in their stomachs.
What the hell are you rambling about?
What everyone wants is for the treasure to be opened quickly, not to hear you seven old geezers sighing over it!
Xu Yang silently watched the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant at the center of the stone platform, honestly just as anxious!
That aura was simply too grand and vast!
Nothing like any ordinary secret realm could compare!
"Could it be that the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure has been continuously built and supplemented over generations?"
"Otherwise, how could just the opening aura be this astonishing?"
Xu Yang felt this was possible!
But all of this was unimportant for now!
Time slipped away slowly.
Though it was just tens of breaths, it felt like ages had passed!
That overflowing aura completely spread to the seven giant peaks but did not continue to leak outward, instead swirling and accumulating around the mountains like mist.
Looking in from the outside.
The seven mountains were now shrouded in vast spiritual fog, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, piercing straight into the clouds.
Utterly terrifying!
Even ordinary Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators could not help but feel fear rise within!
At last!
BOOM!
It was as if thunder rampaged across the void above!
Accompanied by a crisp "crack" of something shattering.
Everyone saw the stone platform break apart inch by inch, the seven mighty experts’ faces turning pale as they flashed backward with lightning speed.
Wuhou Hall’s Vice Hall Master Gon Lang’s eyes flashed, hand curving suddenly as he reached for the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant!
"Gon Lang, how dare you!"
Someone roared in fury!
Xu Yang’s face instantly turned ugly!
This damned bastard actually chose this moment to seize the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Gon Lang moved too quickly; all Xu Yang could do was watch helplessly.
Just as Gon Lang touched the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant—!
BOOM!
A surge of cyan jade spiritual light burst forth like a rising sun and exploded.
Gon Lang grunted, blasted back in a sorry state as if struck by lightning, blood trickling from his lips!
Xu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief!
But now, no one paid attention to unlucky Gon Lang.
The Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant soared upward, unleashing dazzling spiritual light, shattering space with irresistible force.
Whoosh whoosh~~
The valley collapsed, rock walls pulverized, space cracking!
A gigantic black hole appeared from thin air, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye—within moments, it had swelled to fill the central area encompassed by the seven mountains.
Like a terrifying black hole that could devour worlds!
Gon Lang stared at this scene and couldn’t help but swallow hard!
The aura pouring from that black hole made even him feel a chill in his heart!
The rest were even more shaken, struck speechless with shock!
This scene was worlds apart from an ordinary secret realm opening!
That pitch-black spatial fissure looked ready to devour anyone who approached!
Even Myriad Phenomena Realm experts trembled; as for those in the Yang Realm or Yin Realm, there was no need to mention their terror!
"Is this the entrance to the treasure?"
"Hiss, it’s way too scary!"
"Why do I feel like this isn’t a treasure—it’s the abyss of hell itself; go in and you’re doomed!"
...
All those who had fervently anticipated the treasure now found themselves cowed into silent submission, mute as sparrows.
Not a soul made a move!
Xu Yang’s face shifted again and again—the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant was gone.
The moment the treasure was opened, it vanished without a trace!
He had also completely lost all connection to the pendant!
"Damn it!"
Xu Yang cursed inwardly.
He guessed that the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant had probably merged into the treasure, perhaps he would still get a chance to reclaim it.
But the Cyan Jade Pendant’s Cyan Jade Seal really boosted his strength!
Without the pendant, he lost a major trump card!
But at this point, he had no choice!
"Even Myriad Phenomena Realm can enter!"
An astonished exclamation rang out!
It was Zhang Yuanshan testing it, finding no hindrance whatsoever!
Yet, none of the mighty cultivators looked excited; all faces remained grave, eyes filled with caution!
This black hole was terrifying far beyond anyone’s expectations!
What did this mean?
There were most likely immense dangers within!
Perhaps even enough to threaten their lives!
Before coming, each was worried they wouldn’t be able to enter!
Now that entry was possible, they were worried for their own lives!
But that was only natural!
Even Xu Yang, right now, felt his heart pounding with unease—things did not seem good!
"Hmph, the treasure’s open and yet not a single person moves—so many proud Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators, and all of you are cowards?"
A martial artist sneered aloud, then charged straight into the black hole.
Swoosh!
The black hole didn’t so much as ripple, and the figure disappeared without a trace!
The crowd immediately grew restless!
With someone taking the lead, they surged forward like floodwaters breaking through a gate!
"This old man wants to see just what schemes Cyan Gang Sect buried here!"
"If you’re not going, I am!"
"Let’s go!"
A host of strong cultivators, as if hoping to reclaim their pride, snorted and rose into the air.
"Mr. Xu, be careful!" Zhang Yuanshan whispered before entering.
"Mr. Xu, everything inside is unknown—if anything happens, it will be up to you alone." Worry flickered in Meng Ziqiu’s eyes; he least of all wanted anything to happen to Xu Yang.
"Heh, if there’s danger, my Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association won’t just stand by!"
Song Yuanhao strode over, chuckling.
Xu Yang glanced at Song Yuanhao and frowned slightly; he recalled that he’d never seen this guy at the beginning—where had he come from?
Mysterious as ever!
"Xu Yang!"
On the other side, Tuoba Hongyu fixed her gaze on Xu Yang: "Come with me!"
Xu Yang raised his eyes and shook his head slightly, "No need!"
"My chances of encountering danger inside are actually the lowest."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was stunned, then immediately understood!
That’s right.
Xu Yang held the Cyan Gang Sect’s legacy token!
If the Cyan Gang Sect still existed, he’d be the heir to the Sect Leader!
He had the greatest advantage!
Without another word, Xu Yang stepped forward and strode into the black hole!
Tuoba Hongyu’s face fell, darting forward like lightning.
"Xu Yang, you need to understand—the Barbarian Race is your biggest backing!"
Tuoba Hongyu enunciated each word, deep warning ringing in every syllable!
The Northern Territory is about to change!
Her words were a reminder to Xu Yang!
"My greatest backing will always be myself!"
Xu Yang did not look back; his body flowed like water into the darkness, vanishing in an instant!
"Damn it, I’ll make you behave sooner or later!"
Tuoba Hongyu stamped her feet in frustration and shot after him like lightning.
...
Pushing through the darkness, spiritual light flared!
The world cleared, clouds and mist coiling!
Xu Yang gazed skyward in amazement.
Amid the vast mist, a gigantic ancient cyan palace hung suspended beneath the boundless heavens!
It looked to be the very core of this secret realm!
Surrounding him, chaos quickly erupted as figures popped into existence out of thin air.
Riots spread!
Xu Yang quickly drew back his gaze, eyes scanning vigilantly.
At this moment, everyone had been scattered and now stood at the base of a sheer cliff!
Surveying the area, to his surprise, he saw no Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators!
Xu Yang looked at the hazy palace in the sky again, "Are the Myriad Phenomena Realm experts up above?"
"Either way, splitting up the Myriad Phenomena Realm is a good thing!"
The strong of Cyan Gang Sect had clearly expected this!
Xu Yang felt a trace of relief and looked straight ahead.
Not far in front was a ten-thousand-zhang-high cliff!
The cliff face was steep, yet gleamed with patches of spiritual light; from a distance, it seemed adorned with precious spiritual objects!
Already, some were charging toward the high cliff!
"Is it possible we have to ascend it?"
Xu Yang’s heart stirred, and he strode forward!
"Xu Yang, pay with your life for my little sister!"
"You bastard, today you’re dead for sure!"
"Hahaha, Xu Yang—what a coincidence, we have three from Wuhou Hall here!"
"Kill him!"
