Chapter 215: Fallen Immortal Abyss!
【After hearing your explanation, the shock on Chen Shu’s face turned into excitement.】
【In Chen Shu’s eyes, your talent was already so monstrous. Once your External Incarnation merged back into your true body and you broke through to the Immortal Realm, just how dazzling would you become?】
【After learning this news, Chen Shu immediately said that she would report the matter to the senior elders.】
【Right afterward, you saw Chen Shu hurry away from the place.】
【After Chen Shu left, you watched her departing figure and began wondering whether what you had done was really the right choice.】
【At present, there did not seem to be any traitors in the Hope Zone on the surface, and everyone appeared wholeheartedly devoted to the future of the human race. Even so, you had no choice but to act cautiously in this unfamiliar Qingxuan Realm.】
【At your side, Xuanyuan Tianji saw through your thoughts at a glance.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you not to worry. The strongest people in the Hope Zone were only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, yet although they all wished to break through to the Immortal Realm themselves, they still took the initiative to discuss obtaining Immortal Crystals for you. From that alone, it was clear that they possessed broad vision.】
【After hearing that, you felt somewhat more at ease.】
【Right afterward, you asked Xuanyuan Tianji whether she had a map of the Great Thousand Worlds. By now, eight years had already passed since you left the Canglan Realm, and in another twelve years, the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth would descend upon it.】
【Back then, you had promised the people of the Sword Pavilion that you would return before the calamity.】
【But now, after just refining the Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence and cultivating Taixu Dragon Traversal, eight years had already gone by.】
【Thinking of this, you felt rather helpless.】
【That drop of Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence had simply been too powerful. Even after breaking through to the Tribulation Stage, it had still taken you three full years to refine it completely. After that, you spent another two years cultivating Taixu Dragon Traversal to major accomplishment.】
【After Chen Shu left your residence, it was not until a month later that you received news from her again.】
【On that day, Chen Shu came to your residence once more.】
【Chen Shu brought you good news.】
【Chen Shu told you that the elders had already agreed to seize Immortal Crystals for you, but considering that you were still only at the First Tribulation Realm, there was no need to rush yet.】
【Chen Shu told you that once you broke through to the Upper Three Realms, the elders would set out to obtain Immortal Crystals for you.】
【However, Chen Shu did not tell you the whole story.】
【What Chen Shu did not tell you was that the reason the elders of the Hope Zone wanted to wait until you broke through to the Upper Three Realms before seeking Immortal Crystals was because of the decision they reached after hearing that you would merge with your External Incarnation.】
【All of those elders had witnessed the scene when your External Incarnation underwent tribulation. Faced with the near-certain death of the Chaos Lightning Tribulation, they found it hard to guarantee that you would survive your later tribulations.】
【Only after they watched your full tribulation process and made sure that you could pass all the Chaos Lightning Tribulations without fail would they be willing to risk their lives to search for Immortal Crystals.】
【Otherwise, if they retrieved the Immortal Crystals only for you to die beneath the Lightning Tribulation during your breakthrough, then the Immortal Crystals they had seized at the cost of the entire Hope Zone’s strength would become utterly meaningless.】
【After hearing Chen Shu’s explanation, you offered her your thanks.】
【Whether or not they could actually seize Immortal Crystals, that intention alone was already enough.】
【Of course, you would not place all your hopes on them alone. You would make preparations on both sides.】
【If the Hope Zone counted as one line of preparation, then Xuanyuan Tianji was your second.】
【Before leaving, Chen Shu left behind a large amount of cultivation resources for you, among which there were quite a few Soul-Nourishing Spiritual Herbs.】
【Those Soul-Nourishing Spiritual Herbs were far superior to the spiritual herbs you had once obtained from Bai Zhan in the Canglan Realm, by more than just a single level.】
【Even the Purple Firmament Immortal Ganoderma from the Dead-Land Canglan Realm was hardly worth mentioning beside them.】
【In your view, these could no longer truly be called spiritual herbs. Calling them Immortal Herbs and immortal grasses would be more fitting.】
【However, based on the information transmitted to you by your External Incarnation, the intensity of the Tribulation Stage Lightning Tribulations in the Qingxuan Realm was fairly ordinary, completely incomparable to the Lightning Tribulations in the Dead Land of the Canglan Realm.】
【Under such circumstances, your External Incarnation had passed the Chaos Lightning Tribulation with ease.】
【That, on the contrary, was actually a good thing for you. If the intensity had truly been the same as in the Dead Land, you would very likely have died beneath the Chaos Lightning Tribulation during your second tribulation.】
【Even so, you would not let your guard down.】
【At the First Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage, you knew that the first layer of Chaos Lightning Tribulation had only been an appetizer. Only from the second Lightning Tribulation onward, when flesh and body began to fuse, would the true tribulation truly begin.】
【Before Xuanyuan Tianji left, she tossed you a single remark.】
【“Do not focus only on raising your cultivation realm. Do not neglect the strength of your body either.”】
【You frowned as you watched Xuanyuan Tianji’s retreating figure, your mind continuously turning over what she meant by those words.】
【After a long while, you thought of only one possibility.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji was reminding you that if you wanted to fully forge the Immortal-Demon Body, it would not be enough to rely solely on the strength of your soul. The strength of your fleshly body was just as important.】
【Before this, you had always relied on the True Dragon Treasure Body to maintain the strength of your fleshly body.】
【However, the improvement the True Dragon Treasure Body brought you was also quite limited.】
【You knew that although the True Dragon Treasure Body had granted you fleshly strength far beyond ordinary people, it was still not enough when faced with the Chaos Lightning Tribulation.】
【Previously, you had learned from Xuanyuan Tianji that the path you had chosen was one of the hardest paths in all the ages, and that the number of those who had succeeded did not exceed five.】
【The ninth year!】
【During this year, you madly consumed the resources Chen Shu had brought you for cultivation, raising your realm to the peak of the First Tribulation Realm.】
【At this point, you could undergo tribulation and break through to the Second Tribulation Realm at any time.】
【But to ensure everything went perfectly, you went to find Chen Shu.】
【You asked Chen Shu whether there was a place in the Qingxuan Realm suited for body tempering.】
【“Body tempering?”】
【Chen Shu looked at you with a strange expression.】
【Chen Shu could clearly sense the True Dragon aura emanating from your body. She did not understand why, with the True Dragon Treasure Body already making your fleshly body extraordinary, you still wanted to temper it further.】
【Even though Chen Shu did not understand, she still gave you the answer in the end.】
【“Yes!”】
【Chen Shu told you that there was a Forbidden Land in the Qingxuan Realm, a paradise for body cultivators and a nightmare for those who cultivated the Dao.】
【“If there is any place in the Qingxuan Realm most suited for body tempering, it can only be that place.”】
【“That place is—the Fallen Immortal Abyss!”】
【“The Fallen Immortal Abyss?”】
【When you heard that name, you were clearly shaken by it.】
【Chen Shu told you that no one knew how long the Fallen Immortal Abyss had existed. They only knew that the Gravity Laws there were abnormally powerful, more than a hundred times stronger than those of the outside world.】
