It took a lot of time to take out the Spirit Quenching Water from the Virtual Sky World. In the end, many small pieces of white jade were separated from the stone wall.
These white jades were milky white in color and were made of clear material, but strangely, they didn't have any spiritual aura.
Mo Tiange turned them over and over, doubting. "Is this really it?" How could a treasure that could absorb spells of the five elements have no spiritual aura at all?
Qin Xi held up a piece of jade and released the Vermilion Bird's flame from his palm. When he touched the jade, the flame disappeared.
He said, "It should be.
This is a simple container without spiritual aura, which means it's very pure. "
Thinking about it this way, Mo Tiange also felt it made sense.
If a container was empty, there would naturally be nothing inside.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Quenching Jade hadn't been buried in the Virtual Sky World for long, so it didn't produce much Spirit Quenching Water. All of it was used up, but only a small bag of jade was melted.
After putting it away, the two of them continued to move forward.
This cave was very long, but fortunately, there were no dangerous things. As they walked, the color of the stones became darker and their surroundings became hotter.
After half a day, they finally reached the end of the cave. The red light was dazzling.
In front of them was a huge crater. At the bottom of the volcano, lava was rolling and the temperature was extremely high.
The two of them finally realized that they were in a small cave on the wall of this volcano.
Looking down at the volcano, Mo Tiange said, "There seems to be nothing special here."
This volcano wasn't on a spirit vein. Although there was Earthly Fire, its level wasn't very high. At least, it wasn't at the level of Supreme Yang Real Fire.
"En."
With the Vermilion Bird's flame, Qin Xi wasn't interested in ordinary fire. He looked up and said, "Let's go up."
They flew out of the crater. In front of them was still a barren land. Not even a blade of grass grew, and there were no living creatures.
As they approached the crater, the rocks were smoked black and then red. Further away, they saw dried yellow stones, just like above.
The two of them were a bit surprised.
This place was called Fallen God Abyss and was known as one of the three most dangerous places in the far west. They thought the bottom of the abyss must be very dangerous, but why was there nothing except the gales and whirlpools in the sky?
"Let's go and look around," Mo Tiange said.
"En."
Since there was no danger, the two of them used their respective escape techniques and flew forward.
Looking from above, the crack in the Fallen God Abyss was thousands of miles long, but the bottom was not so long. At most, it was only a few hundred miles. With the speed of the two of them, they traveled back and forth in less than half a day.
After searching the entire bottom of the Fallen God Abyss, he finally confirmed that there was indeed nothing here. There were no dangerous things, no treasures, and no traces of people.
The only strange thing was the Astral Wind Vortex at the bottom of the col. As long as one was within a mile of the vortex, they would be affected.
Qin Xi muttered to himself for a long time before he said, "It seems like it's not here."
"Yes."
"Since it's one of the three most dangerous places, why is the Fallen God Abyss so calm?"
Qin Xi smiled and said, "It's very peaceful down there, but think about it — how are other cultivators supposed to come down?
Even Core Formation cultivators couldn't resist the astral winds in this high altitude. How many Nascent Soul cultivators would be so bored as to come to this desolate place?
Besides, there was still the whirlpool after passing through the astral winds!
If we didn't have a chance to temper our bodies and were sucked into the whirlpool, we might not be able to keep our lives. "
"That's true." Mo Tiange paused and asked, "Then should we go back?"
"Let's go back." Qin Xi stepped on the flying cloud.
Mo Tiange followed him and turned to look at the Fallen God Abyss in front of her. "I always feel that this Fallen God Abyss isn't that simple."
Qin Xi shook his head. "Even if it's not simple, there's no need to explore it right now. We have another purpose for this trip. Let's finish our business first."
"… That's true."
After some effort, the two of them came out of the Fallen God Abyss.
It only took them two days to get out. They collected a small bag of unknown jades and didn't find any clues.
After coming out, the two of them discussed and decided to go to Fengsha City next.
The distance from the Fallen God Abyss to Fengsha City was closer than Lang Tu Mountain.
With the map provided by Tang Zimu, the two of them didn't get lost this time. They rested in an oasis and arrived at Fengsha City three days later.
Fengsha City was located in the west, on the edge of the Far West Desert and backed by the West Ridge Mountain Range.
Compared to the mysterious Fallen God Abyss, there were many legends about Fengsha City.
Almost all the tribes that lived near Blowing Sand City, big or small, had their own legends about it.
In the legends of Xirong, Fengsha City was also called Devil City.
It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, this was the most prosperous city in the Far West. Later, because they offended the devil, a sandstorm destroyed the city overnight.
The people living nearby could often hear the devil's roar coming from Fengsha City.
The authenticity of this legend didn't need to be considered, but Fengsha City was indeed strange. Tang Zimu said the city's terrain was strange. Almost none of the cultivators who entered the city came out. Even those who were lucky enough to escape were seriously injured and didn't have long to live.
Among them, there were also high level cultivators from Kunwu, but Tang Zimu couldn't tell how high their cultivation levels were. After all, he was just an ordinary High Priest in the Far West, a low level cultivator who couldn't even survive in the Central Plains.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them arrived at the small town next to Fengsha City, they actually found other Nascent Soul cultivators!
"Hey, aren't these Fellow Daoists Shoujing and Qingwei from Xuanqing School?"
Mo Tiange turned around and saw two cultivators sitting in a tea stall in the small town. Both were in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. One of them was dressed in yellow and the other in green.
The yellow-robed man looked younger, about 28 or 29 years old. He had many spirit beast pouches hanging on his waist. He was a cultivator from Lingshou Sect.
The green-robed man looked older and had a leaf embroidered on his cuff. Mo Tiange didn't know which sect he belonged to.
"You're … Fellow Daoist Huo?" Qin Xi asked with uncertainty.
Cultivators from Lingshou Sect always kept a low profile, so he didn't see many of them.
The man smiled. "I'm Huo Ziqi. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shoujing to remember me."
Huo Ziqi took two steps forward, laid a Soundproof Barrier, and asked in a low voice, "Fellow Daoists, are you also here for the treasure?"
Treasure?
Mo Tiange looked at Qin Xi with doubt.
Qin Xi paused and asked, "Where did Fellow Daoist Huo get this information?"
"Hey!" Huo Ziqi said in surprise, "Where else but the Immortal Alliance?
Now that all the big cultivation groups are under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Alliance and the war is imminent, the Immortal Alliance sent me and Fellow Daoist Zong to investigate the situation. "
He seemed to remember something and stared at them vigilantly. "Fellow Daoists, Fellow Daoist Zong and I just left Kunzhong City for half a month. The Immortal Alliance didn't send you here again, right?"
Seeing his expression, Qin Xi knew he misunderstood, so he said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Huo, to be honest, we don't know anything about the treasure. We came here to do something else, but we didn't expect to run into Fellow Daoist Huo so coincidentally."
"Oh?" Huo Ziqi glanced at them then smiled. "Is that so?
Is the matter you're doing confidential?
If you tell us, maybe we can help each other … Right, I forgot to introduce you two. This is Fellow Daoist Zong Sizong from Changsheng Sect. "
Changsheng Sect was a medium-sized cultivation group near Kunzhong City. It was neither too big nor too small, and its wood element cultivation technique was quite unique. It seemed that it only had one Nascent Soul cultivator, so it should be Fellow Daoist Zong.
Zong Sizong cupped his hands to salute the two of them then said indifferently, "Greetings, Fellow Daoists."
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi returned the salute.
"Fellow Daoists, let's sit down and talk."
Qin Xi looked around then nodded.
Mo Tiange spread her divine sense but didn't find anything unusual in this small town. There were only some ordinary Xirong people and a few low-level cultivators, so she let down her guard.
The four of them sat down in the tea house. Huo Ziqi laid a Soundproof Barrier again then asked again, "May I know why Fellow Daoists are here?
The far west is so desolate, but we're really fated to meet here! "
Huo Ziqi had a smile on his face, but the vigilance in his eyes didn't fade.
Mo Tiange thought this person was really cautious. No wonder the Immortal Alliance sent him here.
Qin Xi smiled and said, "The two of us, husband and wife, came to the far west on Master's order to do something.
Years ago, my master once had a fated chance and agreed to a senior's request to find the remains of his first wife.
Not long ago, Xuanqing School's steward's hall found some clues. Coincidentally, my master had to oversee the sect and couldn't leave, so he asked us to come on his behalf. "
What he said was half-true and half-false.
They absolutely couldn't tell him that Mo Tiange was placed under a restriction, but if they didn't make it clear, this Fellow Daoist Huo might become suspicious of them.
They didn't want to complicate matters, so it was best to dispel Huo Ziqi's suspicions. That way, things would be easier. Maybe they could really help each other.
"Oh, so it's about Fellow Daoist Jinghe."
The doubts in Huo Ziqi's eyes disappeared a little. He said, "That's really a coincidence. The far west is desolate. Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators, even Core Formation cultivators aren't willing to come here. Unexpectedly, the two of you also came at this time."
"That's right."
Qin Xi said faintly, "We don't have all the clues. We only know that there are three great danger zones in the far west. That senior went missing in the far west, so it's most likely related to the three great danger zones. We can only find them one by one.
We just went to the Fallen God Abyss a few days ago, but unfortunately, we didn't find anything, so we came to Fengsha City. "
These things originally didn't need to be explained so clearly to other people. He said this deliberately for Huo Ziqi to hear.
Sure enough, Huo Ziqi didn't ask any more questions.
"So, Fellow Daoists don't know about the treasures?" Zong Si, who was traveling with Huo Ziqi, said.
Qin Xi looked at him and calmly shook his head. "I really don't know."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Zong Si relaxed a little and glanced at Huo Ziqi.
Huo Ziqi paused for a moment then said with a smile, "This matter isn't a secret in Kunzhong City. Presumably, you two can get the news now that you've returned to your sect."
"Is that so?"
Qin Xi looked a little curious. He said, "If Fellow Daoists don't mind, we'd like to hear it."
Huo Ziqi smiled and winked mischievously. "It's not a problem to hear it, but Fellow Daoists have to help after you hear it!"
