Outside the stone pit, plains and rivers crisscrossed into a giant spider web.
At this moment, countless visible spiritual energy streams were being pulled by a force, rushing toward the mountainside.
Not far below the mountain, what had originally been a small formation had developed into a massive vortex, constantly rotating. Accompanying this rotation, countless amounts of spiritual power were absorbed by the formation while simultaneously triggering the earth-binding power within the Earth Binding Formation, pressing down on everything within the formation.
All things prostrated within the formation—none dared stand upright.
And those who dared to stand upright often lacked the strength to resist the earth-binding force.
Meng Xizhou and Liao Kong were no exception.
Liao Kong, who had managed to stand up earlier thanks to that “Lion’s Roar,” once again could not bear such terrifying pressure and collapsed to the ground. Dust covered the earth, expanding and filling his vision.
Bang.
The person hit the ground but never bounced back up.
A human-shaped crater was imprinted on the ground. Liao Kong could hear Meng Xizhou’s roars but couldn’t respond. Blood had already stained his monk’s robe red, and Liao Kong could even hear the light cracking sounds of his skull being compressed.
Crack, crack.
As if about to break.
He deeply buried his face into the soil.
Neither he nor Meng Xizhou had ever experienced such a terrifying situation.
Though formations were vast under heaven, this was the first time they had seen one so brilliant, so terrifying, so vicious.
A formation that could continuously expand—if deployed in the Jiushijiu Zhou, it would be a tremendous disaster.
Liao Kong wasn’t someone with comprehensive knowledge of the Jiushijiu Zhou, and could even be called someone who didn’t hear worldly affairs, but even so, a random thought emerged in his mind: “Kunwu’s strength exceeds imagination. What kind of person could research such a formation? If a Foundation Establishment Gu Qingmei can master such tremendous power, what about the others from Kunwu?”
This was a kind of fear of great powers.
Liao Kong was only beginning his cultivation, his six senses not yet purified. The thoughts emerging in this critical moment were oddly quite reasonable.
Though he didn’t even know why he would think this way.
Crack, crack, crack…
The sounds of bones breaking, one after another.
Blood had already dyed the ground in front red.
Meng Xizhou, on the other side, wasn’t faring any better.
Was being a real man so easy?
Standing up now was like trying to support a small mountain. His shoulders had completely collapsed, presenting a twisted angle, completely fractured.
Both eyes were full of bloodshot veins, jaw clenched tight, cheekbones protruding. His entire appearance had long lost its previous robust air, showing only the ferocity of someone driven to desperation.
Pain.
Pain beyond human endurance.
They no longer cared about what situation that the green light senior and the opponent were in regarding their competition on the stone disc.
Because at this moment, their lives hung in mid-air, ready to fall at any time.
On Jian Chou’s side, hearing this sound, she finally remembered the two people’s predicament.
Jian Chou had also experienced the vicious nature of that formation.
When the formation initially descended, she was also within it, risking the danger of flesh and bone being shattered to directly escape from the formation.
Even so, half her body had been completely stained red with blood.
Before competing with Gu Qingmei for the bone jade, Jian Chou had casually destroyed one formation anchor, weakening the entire formation’s power and its ability to gather spiritual energy, but the entire formation was already in operation.
The pressure on Meng Xizhou and Liao Kong within the formation should have been temporarily relieved, allowing them to hold on a bit longer.
But as long as the formation continued operating, the earth-binding pressure would become stronger and stronger—they would eventually be unable to hold on.
At this moment…
It seemed they had reached their limit.
“Wu wah wah wah wah…”
The Dijiang Guyu in her hand was still crying loudly, as if suffering tremendous grievance.
Jian Chou truly didn’t even have the strength to sigh.
After being initially frightened, the little marten finally reacted, couldn’t help but roll its eyes dramatically, and crouched on the ground with a disdainful expression.
So what if I licked you? I only licked you because you looked tasty!
There was no reasoning with the little marten, and no reasoning with Dijiang Guyu.
Jian Chou only knew some very simple sealing methods. Dijiang Guyu’s current condition clearly couldn’t be treated as ordinary, and Jian Chou didn’t know how to handle it.
She instinctively tried to directly store Dijiang Guyu in her Qiankun Bag, but when attempting this, she discovered the Qiankun Bag refused to accept Dijiang Guyu.
In this instant, Jian Chou was completely stunned.
Qiankun Bags could store anything, except items of too high a grade, and…
Living things.
Ghosts didn’t count as living things.
That meant the Dijiang remnant soul hiding within Dijiang Guyu couldn’t cause the Qiankun Bag to choose between “not accepting.”
So the only explanation was…
There was a living thing on Dijiang Guyu.
—It had become sentient.
In this instant, the corner of Jian Chou’s mouth twitched violently.
There were still two people over there—she couldn’t just watch them wait to die, could she?
But Dijiang Guyu wasn’t handled yet, and was still crying continuously. What should she do?
“Wu wah wah wah…”
Such tremendous sound erupted from the small body.
The entire mountain forest was immersed in such crying. Dijiang Guyu dangled its two legs, crying earth-shakingly.
The little marten couldn’t bear it anymore. Its mouth opened, and a great roar emerged: “Aowou—”
Accompanying this roar, fierce wind swept over, trees trembling chaotically, leaves flying wildly.
The tremendous roar immediately drowned out Dijiang Guyu’s crying.
“Wah wu wu wu wu—”
The crying suddenly stopped.
Dijiang Guyu seemed to sense the threat implied in this roar. It trembled in Jian Chou’s palm and fearfully retracted its two legs, pressing them against its white body.
The little marten paced a few steps below, truly like a king of the forest, then pointed at Jian Chou, pointed at Dijiang Guyu, finally pointed at itself, then suddenly leaped, jumping from the ground up to Jian Chou’s hand, directly taking Dijiang Guyu in its mouth!
Jian Chou was dumbfounded.
Dijiang Guyu’s legs trembled, immediately letting out a whimper.
However, the moment its whimper emerged, the little marten mercilessly roared: “Aowou!”
“…”
Dijiang Guyu immediately trembled again and fell silent.
“Wu…”
A slight, aggrieved sound came from its white body—it no longer dared move or cry out.
This scene truly made Jian Chou understand what it meant to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Obviously, between these two little creatures, the little marten was the bully using its power to oppress others, while Dijiang Guyu was the one being bullied.
As if already intimidated by the little marten’s “tyranny,” Dijiang Guyu no longer dared move.
Jian Chou considered this. The bone jade contained Dijiang’s remnant soul—she absolutely couldn’t be careless. Though her skills were crude, she still carefully and meticulously drew a suppression and warning seal on the bone jade before gritting her teeth, directly placing the little marten on her shoulder and riding the axe toward the outside of the stone pit!
There was no sun or moon in this Crimson Kill Minor Realm, yet one could see clear skies and leisurely white clouds.
When rushing out from the stone pit’s edge, she saw clouds floating across the horizon piece by piece. The entire green earth was as soft as cotton pieces, with countless rivers crisscrossing the land like human meridians, forming flowing blood vessels.
Wind blew through Jian Chou’s hair. Her spine was straight with a resolute air, but her soft, smooth hair added a touch of grace.
Ghost Axe flew beneath her feet. Jian Chou’s figure flashed and had already approached that terrifying spiritual energy vortex in the distance.
The towering vortex seemed to connect with heaven, extremely frightening.
The light of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn into it here.
Trapped within were Meng Xizhou and Liao Kong. Only the sounds of gritted teeth perseverance came from the stone disc.
To be fair, though Jian Chou had never conversed with these two, compared to her poor impression of Gu Qingmei, they were already as good as could be.
If she stood by with folded arms, watching these two be crushed to death in the formation, her conscience would be troubled.
Moreover, whatever Gu Qingmei wanted to obtain, she would steal away, because this was what Xie Buchen wanted to obtain. Now the bone jade was already in her hands. As for Liao Kong and Meng Xizhou, they were people Gu Qingmei wanted to kill and had threatened with Kunwu’s power. Jian Chou had always disliked Kunwu and also disliked Gu Qingmei—how could she turn a blind eye?
So Jian Chou stopped and stared directly at this vortex before her.
What a magnificent scene!
What surging flames!
What brilliant methods!
What vicious hearts!
Something in Jian Chou’s heart began spreading outward. In just an instant, it filled her entire heart.
Like surging rivers finally overflowing the banks, like fierce waves finally toppling the reefs.
Thus, for a moment, angry waves filled the lake, angry billows filled the sea!
Oppose Kunwu?
So what?!
Precisely because you are Kunwu, I oppose you!
In life, I don’t make things difficult for people—except Kunwu!
In that instant, a towering heroic spirit suddenly arose in her chest.
Jian Chou stretched out her hand, directly gripping the axe. Fierce wind swept her long hair, black as ink, floating like paint, reflecting on this jade-green tilting city plain with the elegance of ink brush painting!
It’s just a formation!
Formations set up with formation discs—the most vulnerable point was always the formation base.
As long as she had time, there was nothing that couldn’t be broken!
She dove down without hesitation!
Boom!
The moment she landed, an axe strike!
One axe shadow directly hit the ground. Instantly, broken soil scattered, and rocks flew!
Pop.
A spirit stone buried deep underground was shattered by Jian Chou’s axe!
Buzz.
The entire formation immediately flickered chaotically. The originally massive vortex also trembled.
A ray of spiritual light immediately flew out from the edge of this massive vortex due to the formation’s instability. The formation corner controlled by this spirit stone immediately collapsed, and the vortex outside the formation immediately shrank somewhat.
Destroying one formation base wasn’t significant, but destroying two became a big problem.
Meng Xizhou and Liao Kong, trapped in the formation for so long, no longer expected to come out alive.
Too unlucky, too unlucky!
Who could have thought there would be Kunwu cultivators in the suddenly opened Crimson Kill Minor Realm?
Who could have thought these Kunwu cultivators would be so ruthless?
Seeing this life about to be lost here, Meng Xizhou felt extremely wronged: “I haven’t lived enough, I haven’t cultivated to Golden Core, I haven’t participated in the Left Three Thousand Minor Assembly! I haven’t made my name known throughout the world! I—”
“Don’t want to die!”
“Poof!”
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Meng Xizhou had already cursed Gu Qingmei and even the entire Kunwu sect countless times, his tongue nearly worn out from talking.
However…
The formation’s pressure was so powerful that he was once again pressed underground.
“Bang!”
Not far away, a tremendous crash suddenly came.
Meng Xizhou, within the formation, immediately felt the formation’s trembling.
This kind…
Familiar trembling!
In that instant, Meng Xizhou opened his eyes in surprise, instinctively looking toward the stone disc!
At the same time, Liao Kong was equally shocked, staring wide-eyed at the stone disc!
On the stone disc, Gu Qingmei’s red light had stopped there for a long time without moving.
But that green light had actually returned from ahead, stopping around this formation where they were located!
That commotion just now was caused by the senior!
Meng Xizhou immediately shouted: “Senior, save us!”
From the stone disc, there was no sound.
What responded to him was only Jian Chou’s efficient actions, only the explosive sounds one after another, only that green light rapidly stopping and advancing!
“Bang!”
One axe strike produced one flickering light!
Then the green light flashed again, having appeared at another corner of the formation!
Pure black axe shadows instantly appeared, then struck down viciously!
“Boom!”
Another tremendous crash!
Another spirit stone shattered!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
…
Each stop was inevitably accompanied by an explosive sound!
Jian Chou’s movements were both fast and fierce. Each axe strike used her full strength!
Her figure moved swiftly within this circle!
The spiritual power vortex condensed by the formation in mid-air continuously shrank at a visible speed, shrinking and shrinking. Lightning serpents, as if enraged, shot frantically across the formation’s surface!
“Awesome! Senior is amazing!”
Meng Xizhou, who could originally only lie on the ground, could now actually stand up.
He supported himself with his long staff magical artifact, eyes bright as he followed that green light on the stone disc, listening to the banging sounds in his ears, feeling his blood boiling, wanting to rush out and, like the senior, smash this formation to pieces stick by stick!
Refreshing!
Truly fucking refreshing!
Senior is a real man!
Though Liao Kong wasn’t as exaggerated as Meng Xizhou, after the pressure suddenly reduced, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
Watching the vortex above the formation disappear bit by bit, he felt lingering fear, pressing his palms together and sighing: “Buddha bless, Buddha bless…”
“Nonsense! Clearly it’s the senior’s blessing! What are you believing in Buddha for! Hurry up and convert!”
Meng Xizhou heard Liao Kong’s voice. Though he couldn’t see him, his words were completely impolite.
Liao Kong quickly said “sin” and then began chanting “good people live peaceful lives.”
Hearing this phrase, Jian Chou really wanted to strike him down with an axe—
I don’t need your chanting to have a peaceful life!
Jian Chou sighed inwardly.
The entire ground beneath her feet was already pitted. Since she couldn’t see Meng Xizhou and Liao Kong’s figures, attacks wouldn’t fall on them, but the changes to the jade-green tilting city caused by her power could be transmitted to their side.
So Jian Chou struck without restraint!
With great force!
The most forceful axe!
“Boom!”
The final explosive sound!
The eighty-first spirit stone was finally blasted out from soil and rock by Jian Chou’s axe!
Poof!
With a sharp sound, the spirit stone immediately shattered into dust.
However, just as the final spirit stone exploded—
“Crack!”
Shocking thunder crossed the sky!
The lightning serpents that had been flickering on the formation’s surface suddenly went mad, twisting into a mass. At some position on the ground, a bolt of lightning shot out, tangling with these countless lightning serpents, as if trying to devour Jian Chou!
Rumble.
Thunder rolled.
This lightning immediately gathered together, striking directly at Jian Chou who had destroyed this formation!
“Senior!”
Meng Xizhou’s cry of alarm came from the stone disc.
However, Jian Chou couldn’t hear!
All sounds were drowned by the rolling thunder; all light was buried by the intense lightning!
In Jian Chou’s ears, besides thunder, there was no other sound; before Jian Chou’s eyes, besides lightning, there was no other light!
In the entire world, everything else had disappeared without a trace.
Only—
This earth-splitting, heaven-cracking lightning!
Somewhere in the void, Ye Pianpian lazily yawned and said to herself: “Dijiang Guyu finally has an owner… This trial is also over.”
It was time to get up and send everyone out.
However, just as she stood up, the thunder that split the entire Crimson Kill Minor Realm drilled into her ears!
“What!”
Ye Pianpian’s expression changed drastically.
Those who could enter the Crimson Kill Minor Realm absolutely couldn’t have cultivation exceeding Golden Core. How could lightning with such terrifying attack power appear in the realm?
Her gaze turned cold. Ye Pianpian’s figure flashed and had already disappeared from her original location. When she reappeared, she was beside the stone pit.
In the sky, that lightning had already swallowed everything!
Jian Chou’s slender figure was also buried within this lightning’s strong light…
No one could see Jian Chou.
Meng Xizhou couldn’t see, Liao Kong couldn’t see. All they could see was that lightning striking toward the side. The only thing that could indicate Jian Chou’s existence was that green light on the stone disc!
Ye Pianpian also couldn’t see, because at this moment, Jian Chou’s figure had been completely swallowed by that lightning connecting heaven and earth.
Originally just an ordinary thunder spirit stone, but because the Crimson Kill Minor Realm had abundant spiritual energy—being a genuine blessed land—the entire formation had accumulated a terrifying amount of spiritual energy.
Thus, the dying strike from an originally ordinary thunder spirit stone actually erupted with extraordinary power!
The ingeniously designed formation was also the reason this thunder spirit stone could show such temporary fierce might…
Lightning filled the sky, brightness filled the eyes.
In Jian Chou’s eyes, there were no more rivers and mountains, no more clear skies and white clouds, no more stone disc, no more people to save—only this lightning, this rolling thunder!
Boom!
Snow-white lightning fell, thunder piercing the ears!
Jian Chou felt her mind explode with a tremendous crash!
Lightning as massive as a light pillar descended from heaven, exploding on her body with crackling lightning serpents running wild!
Originally jade-hard bones couldn’t help but crack under such fierce lightning!
Crack crack crack!
Bone fissures appeared on Jian Chou’s bones one after another.
She couldn’t hear the little marten’s cries of alarm, couldn’t hear Dijiang Guyu’s crying, couldn’t hear the thunder. What she could hear were only sounds from deep within her body!
The fine sounds of bone fracturing, growing, rejoining!
The crackling sounds of lightning, the sounds of spiritual energy contained within the lightning exploding in her flesh and blood, the sounds of her greedy flesh constantly absorbing spiritual energy…
Like a dried riverbed finally receiving nourishing, heavy rain!
How pure was the spiritual power condensed by formations and refined by lightning?
The moment it forcibly entered Jian Chou’s body, it occupied every corner of her body. Unfortunately, Jian Chou’s body wasn’t so fragile. She endured the lightning’s tens of thousands of destructions per breath through her hard physique and powerful recovery ability!
Destruction!
Repair!
Destruction!
Repair!
…
This process is repeated continuously.
Blue lightning streaks wandered between her bones, gradually beginning to weaken.
At this time, the lightning’s power could no longer damage her body. Originally, ownerless energy had no way out.
At that moment, Jian Chou didn’t know where she got such courage—
She sealed all her body’s acupoints!
All paths that could let lightning escape were sealed off!
All lightning could only rampage within her body!
This was a place where once you came, you couldn’t leave.
“Poof poof poof…”
Clouds of blood mist exploded from Jian Chou’s body, dispersing into mid-air.
Ye Pianpian, watching this scene from afar, suddenly had a strange light flickering in her eyes.
Using lightning to refine the body…
Too ruthless!
Too domineering!
This female cultivator had the bearing of a hero.
However, all this was precisely to save people…
Meng Xizhou in the formation fell silent.
Liao Kong in the formation fell silent.
No one spoke.
Only explosive sounds from the stone disc reached their ears, those sounds of lightning serpents gathering, making their scalps tingle…
That senior who came out to save them was currently suffering tremendous pain, yet he made no sound.
For a moment, Meng Xizhou didn’t know what was surging in his chest. He wanted to cry out to the heavens, but opening his mouth, he found he had no strength.
He didn’t dare.
His eyes felt hot.
Something scalding erupted from his heaving chest, filling his entire body.
Though they had never met, just chance encounters, not even knowing his identity!
Even so, he could still act to save them!
Meng Xizhou stared blankly at that place in the void, already speechless.
All of Liao Kong’s murmuring sounds also disappeared at once.
In their eyes was only that gradually disappearing lightning.
This lightning was gradually being swallowed by Jian Chou.
After extreme pain came the exhilaration of revival.
Lightning serpents washed every corner of her body, leaving her entire body soaked in blood, but after all this, all the power brought by the lightning serpents was absorbed by her weary sinews, bones, and flesh.
Bit by bit.
Bit by bit.
“Swoosh!”
A massive battle disc uncontrollably appeared beneath Jian Chou’s feet, spinning rapidly!
One inch, two inches, three inches…
One chi, two chi, three chi…
Jian Chou’s battle disc was growing larger at a visible speed!
Under the Inquiry into the Heart realm, all was an accumulation of power. As long as one had a sufficiently strong body and meridians, everything wasn’t a problem!
Realm was advancing at a visible speed!
Ye Pianpian, watching from afar, was already full of shock!
This cultivation method…
How was it possible…
She instinctively concentrated power in her eyes. Those originally black pupils immediately became green like emeralds.
This time, she looked at Jian Chou again.
“…incomplete soul…”
How could this be?
Ye Pianpian hadn’t expected this at all. Her brow furrowed, then relaxed: Perhaps precisely because of this, she could absorb power without restraint. But after reaching the peak of talent gained by trading souls, what would await her?
Ye Pianpian didn’t know.
Jian Chou also didn’t know.
She didn’t want to think about it and was too lazy to pay attention.
At this moment, an unprecedentedly powerful force had already filled her.
Every corner of her body was filled with power so pure it made one want to scream.
Too much, too much…
After all, it was the power accumulated by a massive formation for so long. Jian Chou already felt a swelling pain in her flesh and blood—she had reached her limit, but there was still so much power in her body…
Jian Chou suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes!
Dazzling divine light shot from her eyes!
In her hand, there was still an axe!
In her heart, there was still an axe!
Just saving people caused such trouble—
Today, Dijiang Guyu was already in hand!
Today, she would also save these people trapped by Kunwu!
In the past, she was just a woman without the strength to bind a chicken. Now she had a heaven-reaching opportunity. Even if only at Inquiry into the Heart, she would press forward courageously!
So what about Xie Buchen?
What shouldn’t be his, he couldn’t get!
What should be his, she would snatch away piece by piece!
Realm was climbing—late Foundation Establishment!
That was no longer important.
What mattered was everything in her heart at this moment.
She was kind to people, but not kind to Xie Buchen!
Ghost Axe, raise!
Vast power immediately surged from her arms!
The countless spiritual energies originally trapped in Jian Chou’s body seemed to finally find an outlet, venting outward!
Boom!
Like a flood bursting dikes, like the Milky Way rolling backwards!
On Ghost Axe, ghostly lights one after another, as if dyed with fresh blood, completely lit up.
The pitch-black axe body had all rust washed away!
Countless evil ghosts emerged from Ghost Axe—ten thousand ghosts wailing!
On Ghost Axe, it was as if coated with a layer of blood-colored patterns, glowing and trembling—
How many years since it had such powerful strength?
It was also exciting!
Whoosh!
Tremendous wind sound!
Swoosh!
Massive axe shadow!
Hand raised, axe falling!
The moment one axe was swung out, Jian Chou felt all excess spiritual power in her body roaring as it surged toward the axe!
The phantom was like a solid shadow, covering the sky and earth!
Boom!
It fell!
“Snap!”
The final thunder spirit stone finally couldn’t bear such tremendous pressure and shattered!
The axe shadow heavily struck the ground!
The entire soft earth surprisingly didn’t have half a speck of soil splash out, didn’t have half a piece of broken stone fly up.
Only…
A massive axe-shaped depression slowly appeared.
The ground of the jade-green tilting city seemed to be only a thin layer that Jian Chou’s axe had chopped through.
Ye Pianpian stared wide-eyed for the first time.
After a long while, she stared at that punctured ground and smiled bitterly: “The Jade-Green Tilting City trial is finished. You are all people of destiny. Please leave.”
With a wave of her delicate hand, the killing disc and crimson disc floating in the void simultaneously flew out in various directions, blazing with light, condensing into massive vortexes!
Meng Xizhou now stood beside that massive depression, feeling like he was dreaming.
This axe strike…
Had it reached the Earth’s core?
He couldn’t help but lean over to look, hearing the sound of flowing water.
Below the massive depression was flowing water…
At this moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The vegetation-covered ground disappeared, becoming a kind of transparent green; the crisscrossing rivers disappeared, becoming countless veins distributed on this green surface.
At this moment, they weren’t standing on any piece of earth—they were just standing on a piece of jade-green lotus leaf as vast as the sky!
There had never been rivers—they were just drifting in leaf veins; there had never been plains—they were just running on leaf surfaces.
The massive axe-shaped depression was now just where Jian Chou’s axe had chopped a hole in the leaf.
Everything could no longer be concealed, revealing its true form.
On the leaf, the last bit of power remaining from the Earth Binding Formation also dissipated with the thunder spirit stone’s destruction.
Meng Xizhou had never felt his body so light.
His gaze swept over everything around him, unable to hide his shock…
Finally, this gaze fell on the void ahead.
There should be where the senior was located, though he couldn’t see any shadow.
But this didn’t prevent Meng Xizhou from imagining that figure’s heroic bearing!
Perhaps it was an elder with graying hair yet possessing bronze-colored muscles; perhaps it was a wild man in dark robes with sharp eyes like an eagle…
One axe, hero of the world!
A good man should be like this!
Across that massive axe-shaped depression, Jian Chou equally couldn’t see anyone. She looked up, only able to see Ye Pianpian’s graceful figure, who was also looking at her.
The surge of energy in her chest gradually calmed down.
The power within Jian Chou’s body remained pure. She raised her hand and shouldered the axe. Though still exaggeratedly large, it was finally just an accessory. The massive vortex formed by the killing disc was ahead—time for farewell had come.
Jian Chou looked at this boundless jade-green tilting city and finally understood its meaning.
Jade-green tilting city was just a leaf.
All their struggles were on this green leaf.
One leaf obscures the vision, one leaf tilts the city.
The corner of Jian Chou’s lips curved up in a smile. Her gaze was calm as she directly turned around, heading toward that massive vortex.
Behind her, a great shout came: “Senior, do you still take disciples?!”
Hearing this, Jian Chou’s smile deepened. Though she knew no one could see, she still shook her head.
The little marten, holding Dijiang Guyu and crouched on her shoulder, seemed to hear some tremendous joke and immediately burst into “ji ji ji ji” mocking laughter!
The massive vortex had tremendous light. Jian Chou faced the vortex and departed.
Her silhouette was backlit, the edges seeming gilded with bright borders.
How vast heaven and earth were—yet I walk alone, one person, one axe, one marten, freely and unfettered.
She stepped into the vortex and finally disappeared.
Yashan, your disciple has returned.
