Tianshui shook his head.
"To tell the truth, I don’t know if the Qiankun Small World could withstand the dangers outside. Even after I reached the Saint Realm, I never entered the Death Abyss again." Tianshui’s face also wore a bitter smile.
"..."
"We can only pray that the Qiankun Small World is strong enough!" Jing Yan said helplessly.
If even the Qiankun Small World couldn’t withstand it, then Jing Yan was certainly dood to die! Not to ntion the collapse of space itself, the deathly energy that obliterated divine souls would be impossible for Jing Yan to resist.
"Let see what the situation is like outside now," Jing Yan thought.
A wisp of his divine soul seeped out of the Qiankun Small World.
Although Jing Yan’s divine soul had been damaged before, it wasn’t too severe. After being nurtured by the Dragon Tiger Pill, splitting off a wisp to perate the Qiankun Small World wasn’t a big issue.
But Jing Yan quickly turned deathly pale and rolled his eyes back.
The instant his wisp of divine soul seeped out of the Qiankun Small World, it was annihilated, not having seen anything.
"Jing Yan! For now, there is no better thod, so we can only hide within the Qiankun Small World. What you can do is to continue improving your cultivation."
"The stronger you are, the greater your chances of survival," Tianshui said to Jing Yan.
"Yes, Senior is right!" Jing Yan nodded.
Then, Jing Yan took out a Divine Crystal.
Inside Ling Luo’s Ancient Cave Mansion, Jing Yan had obtained an entire box of Divine Crystals.
Since leaving that Ancient Cave Mansion, Jing Yan had been relentlessly pursued and hadn’t had the chance to use the Divine Crystals. Now, he could try to use them.
After all, if he died in the Death Abyss, these Divine Crystals would be useless. On the contrary, it would be better to use the Divine Crystals for cultivation and see what effect they had.
Divine Crystals could help a Dao Emperor realm martial artist to advance to the Saint Realm, so the effects must be extraordinary.
Looking at the colorful Divine Crystal in the palm of his hand, Jing Yan instinctively began to directly absorb the energy contained within.
"Hm? Why can’t I absorb it?"
"Let’s try again!"
"Damn, still can’t absorb it!"
Jing Yan’s face darkened again. He held the Divine Crystal, stimulated his Primordial Energy, and tried to connect with the Divine Crystal, but soon he realized that his Primordial Energy couldn’t flow into the Divine Crystal at all. The mont his Primordial Energy touched the Divine Crystal, it dispersed imdiately.
"Jing Yan, a Divine Crystal is a divine object containing Laws; it’s very difficult for soone of your realm to directly absorb its energy. Even for a Dao Emperor realm martial artist, absorbing Divine Crystal energy isn’t easy," Tianshui shook his head and explained.
"What should I do then?" Jing Yan frowned.
"You can try to first circulate the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, then use your Primordial Energy to draw out the Divine Crystal’s energy and give it a try," Tianshui suggested after so thought.
"Okay!" Jing Yan nodded.
Following Tianshui’s advice, this ti, he first circulated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill and then stimulated his Primordial Energy to touch the Divine Crystal.
"It works!"
His Primordial Energy touched the Divine Crystal and didn’t disperse imdiately. However, the speed at which the Primordial Energy entered the Divine Crystal was still extrely slow. It took the ti for about a cup of tea to pass before Jing Yan’s Primordial Energy sensed the energy within the Divine Crystal.
Jing Yan quickly focused his mind and ran the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill without distraction, beginning to absorb the energy of the Divine Crystal.
The speed of absorption was very slow. Jing Yan could only feel strands of energy slowly seeping into his body.
This rate of absorption left Jing Yan inevitably disappointed.
He was accustod to the exhilarating speed of absorbing a bunch of top-grade spirit stones simultaneously, and now the slow absorption of divine crystals felt uncomfortable.
However, this feeling didn’t linger for long – after a short while, Jing Yan’s spirits lifted.
As the energy contained in the divine crystal entered his body, his abdominal Fog Vortex instantly responded.
At this mont, Jing Yan’s divine soul even felt as though the Fog Vortex was about to transform.
Jing Yan’s realm was already at the peak of the Daoist Master Realm. If the Fog Vortex were to transform again, that would be the Dao King Realm! He had just absorbed a tiny amount of divine crystal energy, and already there were signs of transformation.
Jing Yan couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazent.
These divine crystals were rather terrifying.
After absorbing the energy from the divine crystals for several hours, Jing Yan had to stop.
Because he was sure that the Fog Vortex in his abdon was truly transforming. If he didn’t stop, he’d lose control!
Ascending to the Dao King Realm was, of course, a breakthrough Jing Yan eagerly wanted to make. The problem was that his injuries had not fully healed yet, particularly his divine soul which was still damaged. Recklessly challenging the realm shackles was very dangerous.
"Don’t rush... Don’t rush..."
"Let’s fully recover from the injuries first!" Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.
One day passed...
Three days passed...
In the blink of an eye, half a month quietly slipped by.
By now, both Jing Yan and Tianshui were certain that the Qiankun Small World could withstand the destructive forces of external space collapsing, so they temporarily set their worries aside.
And after half a month of recuperation, Jing Yan’s injuries had completely healed. The physical injuries were already healed earlier, and with the nourishnt of the Dragon Tiger Pill, his divine soul injuries had also fully recovered.
"It’s ti to break through to the Dao King Realm!" Jing Yan murmured in anticipation.
He took out the divine crystal he had absorbed before, as well as Divine Dao Pills, top-grade spirit stones, and other such items.
"Begin!"
Jing Yan first swallowed a Divine Dao Pill and absorbed a pile of top-grade spirit stones. After a while, he began to operate the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, slowly absorbing the energy from the divine crystal.
...
"Jing Yan... has he died?"
"Yes! The news is confird, Jing Yan has fallen, died in the Death Abyss!"
"The Gu Family is really ruthless! Jing Yan, such a monstrous talent, was actually forced to his death!"
"Did you not think about how many Gu Family experts Jing Yan killed? Daoist Masters, Dao Kings... If the Gu Family were willing to let Jing Yan go, who in the entire continent would fear the Gu Family in the future?"
In half a month’s ti, the news of Jing Yan’s death spread across all forces on the Heavenly Origin Continent, big and small.
The events of that day were witnessed by Hu Donghe and Chang Huan. Experts of the Dao Emperor Realm from among the Seven Great Families also saw it with their own eyes.
Therefore, the news of Jing Yan’s death couldn’t possibly be concealed. Moreover, the Gu Family wouldn’t hide it.
Forcing Jing Yan to death also sowhat restored the Gu Family’s face.
The problem was, Jing Yan’s death did not please Gu Wanquan and even made him more irate. He didn’t wish for Jing Yan to die, at least not before he could extract information about the Qiankun Ring.
The reason Gu Wanquan personally took action was what? It was for the Qiankun Ring! If not for the factor of the Qiankun Ring, and rely because Gu Xinghe was killed by Jing Yan, Gu Wanquan might not have entered the Despair Abyss personally, nor would he have paid a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones to Mr. Zhong, the owner of the Abyss Market, to investigate Jing Yan’s whereabouts.
