Chapter 102: Into the Rift Valley
Chapter 102: Into the Rift Valley
The Qingyun Sect was still ethereal in the distance, the Xinghai Sect behind it was still bare, Xingzhi was still writing furiously, and the only three people left in the mountain were floating in the air, and the atmosphere was unusually stagnant.
There was no one around. Ping Haoran said that no Qingyun disciple dared to approach him. Even the cranes in the mountains seemed to know the danger of this place. They stayed far away in the mountain lake, and occasionally looked towards the strange scene here.
"I see." Feng Budu nodded and continued to remain silent, with no intention of giving way.
Qin Baiqing was distressed as they encountered an obstacle before they could even approach the rift.
But now Xiao Xingyun was silent and Feng Budu looked unhappy. She was the only one who had not realized what had happened.
Even if Feng Budu doesn't like him, he is indeed very weak now. He is just worried that he will be in danger.
Why does he look so unhappy.
Seeing Feng Budu's entire depressing mood drop, Qin Baiqing finally realized something belatedly. She looked at Feng Budu hesitantly, then asked after some hesitation, "Did I do something wrong?"
"You're right," he straightened up, brushed off his sleeves and replied casually.
The atmosphere was broken, but Feng Budu insisted: "But I want to go too. I'm leaving now. Don't you want to see the situation in the rift valley?"
"Your cultivation is very weak," Qin Baiqing told the truth, trying to persuade him: "What if you really die?"
On the surface, perhaps just a foundation-building person died.
But Qin Baiqing knew his skills and age better than anyone else. Sanqing said at the beginning that one needed to cultivate to the peak before starting reincarnation. Now that Feng Budu is declining, doesn't it prove that his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle?
It would be such a pity if he died like this.
Thousands of years of cultivation just vanished silently like that. Qin Baiqing felt it was not right just thinking about it.
"That's enough," Feng Budu covered Qin Baiqing's mouth, squatted down and said coldly: "The turning point of my cultivation depends on you. Even if I die, I can only die by your side. Don't even think about abandoning me."
Don't even think about leaving him alone to look for opportunities!
After he said that, he withdrew his hand, smiled again, and stood behind Qin Baiqing.
"let's go."
Qin Baiqing nodded repeatedly and turned around to look at Feng Budu worriedly. This time she was worried about his mental state.
Setting out again, Qin Baiqing was less excited and flew obediently on his sword to the rift. When he saw the unfathomable rift, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"I'll go up and take a look," she remembered that Ping Haoran said that she couldn't fly the sword here, so she took advantage of Feng Budu and the other man not paying attention and rushed directly into the rift valley, with the spirit sword still resting at her feet.
She looked delighted and waved at the two of them, but before she could say anything, she saw Feng Budu's expression change and he looked anxiously at her feet.
The rift silently devoured all the spiritual power of the runoff, creating a spiritualless place above the rift. Birds and beasts avoided it, no grass grew around it, and there was no sign of any life on the cliffs.
"Be careful!" Feng Budu looked down along the flying sword that was falling powerlessly.
The flying sword only stayed for a moment under Qin Baiqing's feet before it instantly fell to the bottom of the valley and turned into a small black dot in the blink of an eye. There was no echo of the landing for a long time.
But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze away from Qin Baiqing, who was not affected, and tried to find traces of the spirit sword. "It's too deep, and I can't use my spirit power. How can I get down?"
The monk had sharp ears and sharp eyes, but the spirit sword had not yet transmitted any sound of it falling to the ground, which showed how deep it was below.
He looked at her solemnly for a few more times, then finally retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Baiqing.
The clue was seen on her wrist. It was the bracelet that had suddenly appeared, and it was now emitting a far-reaching power of the void.
The power of the void that transcends spiritual energy is taking effect. The reason why Qin Baiqing didn't fall down now is not because she is not affected by the rift, but because she is forced to stay in the air by the power of the void.
"The more props, the better." He nodded, wondering if there was any other way.
But Qin Baiqing had the confidence given by the Void Bracelet, and she slowly descended eagerly, saying excitedly: "Wait for me here, I'm going down!"
After saying that, he urged the Void Bracelet, "Void, I want to teleport."
The power of the void is not affected, so she can come and go freely. Qin Baiqing's interest is unprecedentedly high.
"and many more--"
"Don't go yet, let me try." Seeing that she was about to go down, Feng Budu hurriedly called Qin Baiqing and took out an ordinary rope from the storage bag.
But after the two ends of the rope touched people, they took the initiative to entangle Feng Budu and Xiao Xingyun together. He explained: "I got this by chance. It can be infinitely extended. It is useless on weekdays, but it is very suitable to take it out today."
Only after he and Xiao Xingyun were secured did he signal Qin Baiqing, "Let's go, take us with you."
This is to prevent several people from landing in different locations.
It was not until she was in it that Qin Baiqing finally realized how big this place was.
Unlike the pitch-black darkness above, the area below is extremely spacious. The vision becomes clearer the deeper you descend, as if you have penetrated the deep night of the rift valley and the real world is below.
As the vision became clearer, spiritual energy began to appear below, and green plants even grew in some places.
The narrow top and wide bottom structure gave the few people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Qin Baiqing slowed down his descent, trying to find out the cause of the abnormality above, but no matter how he looked at it, this was just an ordinary quiet valley.
"Look!" Qin Baiqing suddenly widened her eyes and pointed at the azalea tree not far away, exclaiming, "There are so many flowers here."
Layers and layers of azalea trees are stacked up in large patches at the bottom of the valley. The largest one is so tall that it blocks out the sun, and faces more lush trees in the distance.
"How strange," Qin Baiqing muttered, glancing upwards, "There can't be any spiritual energy up there, but the flowers below are blooming so well, could it be that they are all used to nourish the ones below?"
"Maybe it's just to hide." Xiao Xingyun closed his eyes and asked the heavens as usual, but this time the answer surprised Qin Baiqing and the others.
He opened his eyes filled with obscure stars and said solemnly: "I can't feel the existence of the way of heaven here. Whether it is naturally formed or created by a powerful being, it is very rare."
Even his divine sense could not penetrate the rift, which was enough to show the specialness of this place.
This is a God-forsaken place.
“It’s not impossible to comprehend the Way of Heaven here,” Feng Budu on the other side also expressed his guess.
He came under the flower tree, but the tree, in full bloom, was unaware of the arrival of a stranger and allowed Feng Budu to break off a branch as thick as a willow twig.
The next moment, the branches disappeared, and the flowers on the branches weathered together.
The green branches lost their vitality. They were still intact on the tree a moment ago, but now they just turned into a wisp of smoke. Qin Baiqing smelled spiritual power from the traces of elegance in the branches.
This branch did not disappear out of thin air, but turned into spiritual energy and dissipated in the wind!
“So I think,” Feng Budu added calmly, “it’s not that we can’t comprehend the Way of Heaven here, but that someone is blocking the secrets of Heaven.”
