Chapter 525 Ye Fei, you bad guy, I hate you!
At midnight.
A thousand miles away on the right side of the Life and Death Abyss.
Four-sided cliff.
It is also known as Immortal Peak and Dianbingtai.
The night is deep and the bright moon is high.
From time to time, the sound of beasts roaring could be heard in the forest.
The Sifang Cliff is like a lonely pearl standing between heaven and earth, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.
It is a solitary peak with a neatly square top, surrounded by terrifying cliffs, as if it was carved by nature with its magical power.
This mountain not only has a unique shape, but is also the highest peak in the area within a thousand miles, with an altitude of more than 2,000 feet. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the steep mountain reaches the sky, which makes people feel awe.
When you climb to the top of Sifang Cliff, you will find that it is a vast and boundless "plain".
The length of this flat land in the east-west, south-north directions is more than 500 meters, as if it was a magical place specially left by God for the world.
There is an ancient and mysterious legend about the origin of this mountain. It is said that in ancient times, a powerful god swung his sword and cut off the upper part of the mountain top with a thunderous force. Since then, the mountain top has become as flat as it is today.
Although this legend has gone through the vicissitudes of time, it is still passed down from mouth to mouth, adding a strong touch of mystery to Sifang Cliff.
Just yesterday afternoon, nearly 10,000 masters of Danyuan realm and above from Tianxuan Academy came flying on swords and landed on the top of Sifang Cliff.
Among these people, there are both senior brothers and sisters who entered the academy thousands of years ago, who have gone through hardships and achieved success in their training; there are also junior brothers and sisters who have just joined the academy in recent years, and although they are green hands, they are all full of vigor and vitality and have unlimited potential.
The reason why everyone gathered here today was simple: a Purple Cloud Order from Tianxuan College.
The order required that within three days, all those who had reached the Dan Yuan Realm or above in the three major star regions must rush to Sifang Cliff to gather.
This order was like a thunderclap, breaking the peace of the past and shaking the entire world of cultivation.
For a time, people from all the major families, forces, and sects in the three major star fields resolutely flew to the Abyss of Life and Death on their swords.
Many people began to speculate what kind of major event had occurred that required such a large mobilization.
However, the atmosphere on the Sifang Cliff was heavy at the moment, and no one knew what fate was waiting for them...
The moonlight tonight is surprisingly good.
The bright full moon hung high in the sky, casting its silvery light and illuminating the earth as bright as day.
At the top of Sifang Cliff, the people from Tianxuan College were arranged in an orderly manner from top to bottom, from old to young.
People from each class gathered together to form small groups.
Some were in groups of three or five, talking in low voices;
In some places, a dozen people sat in a circle, with laughter coming from all directions;
There are also some larger groups, with dozens of people, which is very lively.
Among this large crowd, the loneliest ones are the two old men standing in the front.
They stood there alone, in stark contrast to the noisy atmosphere around them.
Looking at the back of the team, the number of people is gradually increasing, and basically each group has dozens of people.
The slightly older people were gathered together at the moment, chatting and laughing with each other. After all, some of them had not seen each other for decades, or even hundreds of years.
Back then, they studied and practiced together at Tianxuan College and formed a deep friendship. However, after leaving the college, everyone returned to their respective families or sects, shouldering their own responsibilities and missions, and striving to make due contributions to them.
Over the years, everyone has been busy with their own things, and many people have hardly seen each other again. Now that they meet again after a long separation, they naturally feel very close, and their hearts are filled with joy and excitement.
However, these elders seemed to be in the mood to reminisce about the past, but the young people standing at the back of the queue, who had not been separated for long, were looking at each other, and it was obvious that everyone was a little uneasy.
After all, they had no idea why they were dispatched by Ziyun Ling to come to this dreaded Abyss of Life and Death.
"Everyone, do you know how we got the Purple Cloud Order this time?" a young man asked in a low voice, unable to hide his doubts in his words.
"Yes, it's really strange! I heard that the Purple Cloud Order has always been only passed down to those respected old seniors in the academy. In terms of seniority and cultivation, we are far inferior to them!" another person echoed, frowning.
At this time, another person came over and interrupted: "From what I know, whenever the academy issues the Purple Cloud Order, it must be when something extremely serious happens. Either the academy is facing a catastrophe, or the star region we are in has encountered a critical crisis. Now that we have been transferred here, it must be related to the demon region."
"Could it be... that it is really because of the mysterious gate to the demon world as the rumors say?" someone couldn't help but blurt out.
"I'm afraid it's almost certain!" Several people nodded, their expressions becoming more serious.
For a moment, all kinds of speculations and worries spread among the crowd, making the already tense atmosphere even more depressing.
"This, this... Could it be that the academy wants to take us to block the gate to the demon world?" One of the disciples asked in astonishment, his words full of disbelief and fear.
"Brother, can you tell Junior Sister what this gate to the demon world is all about?" Just then, there was a slight commotion suddenly heard from behind the crowd.
A petite woman with an outstanding temperament slowly walked forward. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she was wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending from the earth.
"Hey...Junior sister, you are..." One of the handsome brothers couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw the woman.
Someone nearby hurriedly explained, "Hey, Brother, haven't you heard of her? She is Brother Xuantong's only direct disciple!"
Upon hearing this, there was a burst of exclamations from all around.
Everyone turned their eyes to the little sister, their eyes full of curiosity and awe.
"What? Senior Brother Xuantong is accepting disciples? You know, it is said that Senior Brother Xuantong has never accepted a disciple for thousands of years. I guess this little junior sister must be extremely talented... May I know what is the little junior sister's name?" The senior brother looked at the woman in front of him with admiration and asked respectfully.
The woman smiled slightly and said softly: "Li Ruoling greets all the brothers!"
The sound is clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, intoxicating to the ear.
"Li Ruoling? Well, what a good name! As the name suggests, she not only has a nice voice, but also looks very charming..." The senior brother couldn't help but admire, while secretly looking at Li Ruoling.
Being looked at like this by a strange man, Li Ruoling blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly: "I wonder if Senior Brother can tell me about this gate to the demon world?"
"This is the gate to the demon world!" The senior brother instantly became excited. He put his hands behind his back and looked towards the demon world. "This story cannot be explained in a few words..."
"Junior sister, I'd like to hear the details!" Li Ruoling bowed slightly.
“Since Junior Sister wants to hear it, I am willing to tell you about the Gate to the Demon Realm…” The Senior Brother began to boast: “It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a planet in a foreign land. This planet was larger than our main planet of cultivation in the Wuyuan Star Region. It was full of spiritual energy and full of monsters. All of them were extremely large…
Among these demons, there was a powerful demon that was rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years. It was said that he had a special ability that allowed him to avoid the control of the heavens over the lower world, bypass the tribulation, and secretly break through to the realm of the celestial being that only the heavens could reach.”
"Fairy?" Li Ruoling looked confused.
The senior brother looked at Li Ruoling deeply, and immediately explained to her patiently: "As for the gods in the heaven, according to my grandfather, the lowest level is the earthly gods, and the ones above that are the heavenly gods. I don't know what kind of gods are above that."
"Oh..." Li Ruoling looked admiring: "Please continue, Senior Brother!"
"Yes!" The senior brother nodded immediately and continued, "It is said that this powerful demon can move mountains and seas with a wave of his hand. Because their demon race was cursed by a powerful celestial being, the planet gradually became barren and the spiritual energy became weaker day by day. So, for some unknown reason, it discovered the existence of our Wuyuan Star Region.
So, it took hundreds of years to build a teleportation array that can directly connect their planet to our Wuyuan Star Region. Since then, the monsters in their demon world have gradually migrated from their planet to our Wuyuan Star Region. They only need to use the teleportation array to directly reach our Wuyuan Star Region, just like the ancient teleportation array in our Demon Abyss can directly lead to the Lingxu Star Region. "
"Ah?" Everyone around was frightened.
The senior brother seemed quite satisfied when he saw the surprised and frightened expressions of the crowd. He immediately chuckled, and then pretended to be solemn and said: "For a while, our Wuyuan Star Region was invaded by a large number of monsters. It is said that for thousands of years after that, our human race has been engaged in a life-and-death battle with the monster race.
It’s a pity that those monsters are too huge, and have thick skin and flesh, so even those of us at the Zhenyuan realm find it difficult to kill them easily.
As a result, the human cities in the Wuyuan Star Region fell one after another. In the end, the human territory was forced into the depths of the Spiritual Sea. From then on, all the human cultivators crossed the sea and hid on the small islands in the depths of the Spiritual Sea to survive. Our ancestors were lucky enough to survive. Although those large monsters had spiritual intelligence, they could not swim, so they could not continue to kill our ancestors.
Until one day hundreds of years later, a powerful monk from another world passed by here and saw that the humans on our planet were living such a miserable life. So, he gathered our humans together, led them back from the island to the land, and launched a counterattack.
He led the few remaining cultivators of our human race and drove the monsters back to the monster area on the right side of the Life and Death Abyss, and finally fought a final life-and-death battle with them!"
When the senior brother said this, he suddenly showed a proud look on his face. He pointed to the ground below and said, "It is said that the place we are standing on was cut off by him with a sword. Although this place is called Sifang Cliff, it was actually called Xianren Peak or Dianbingtai before. Because it is said that he stood here to command the final battle between the human race and the demon race."
"What happened next?" Li Ruoling asked impatiently.
"Later, of course, our human race won a great victory!" The senior brother said with a proud look on his face, as if he himself was that immortal. "It is said that later, this immortal senior also set up a formation to seal this demon realm, making it open only once every three thousand years. At the same time, he also sealed the teleportation formation leading from the demon realm to our side, and the place he sealed is the gate to the demon realm we mentioned before."
"So that's how it is!" Li Ruoling's face was full of admiration.
"Later..." the senior brother continued with a smug look on his face, "Finally, I heard from my grandfather that the gate to the demon world has been covered with 7749 defensive formations by the descendants of that immortal. Therefore, even if there is any problem with the gate to the demon world, they will definitely find it difficult to break through the layers of defensive formations! So, little junior sister, you can rest assured, nothing will happen."
"Those immortals have descendants?" Li Ruoling exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration: "So, it is the descendants of this immortal who have been protecting our Wuyuan Star Region?"
"Of course!" the senior brother said proudly, "However, they are not simply guarding the Wuyuan Star Region, but our three major star regions. Because once those monsters break out of the Life and Death Abyss, it can be said that they will be invincible, and our human race will definitely be unable to resist! Then, the three major star regions will become the territory of their monster race! We humans will never be able to turn things around."
"Brother, how do you know so much?" A man next to him said, "I have never heard the elders in the clan mention the things you just mentioned."
“Haha…” The senior brother said proudly, “I am not talented, but my great grandfather was a disciple of the Thousand Immortal Sect!”
"What?" Li Ruoling exclaimed, her face suddenly changed: "Qianxian Sect?"
Which sect did Ye Fei become a disciple of?
Ye Fei had mentioned "our Thousand Immortal Sect" several times when chatting with her. She didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because she had never heard of the words "Thousand Immortal Sect" and thought it was just a small and unknown sect.
It was not until this moment, when she suddenly heard the three words "Thousand Immortals Sect", that she realized that this "Thousand Immortals Sect" seemed not so simple.
"What kind of sect is the Qianxian Sect? Is it very powerful?" someone asked.
"Of course!" The senior brother continued proudly, "I know you must be very surprised that you have never heard of the Thousand Immortal Sect. When many ordinary people first heard of this sect, they would think it was just a small sect.
In fact, only the top families and top sects usually know of the existence of this sect.
After all, their existence itself is a mystery, otherwise, they would not be listed as the most mysterious sects in the three star regions!"
"Senior Brother, according to what you said, it seems that something happened at the gate to the demon world this time. We should be here to help the Thousand Immortal Sect, right?" Li Ruoling asked softly.
"That's right. Junior Sister, you are so smart!" The senior brother praised Li Ruoling generously: "Otherwise, Ziyun Order would not have ordered us to rush here to meet up!"
"So, the disciples of Qianxian Sect must have arrived here a long time ago, right?" Li Ruoling asked again.
"Of course!" said the senior brother, "They are naturally the first group to enter the demon realm and the group that rushed to the front. After all, the disciples of the Thousand Immortal Sect have all been mentally prepared to die since the moment they joined the Thousand Immortal Sect. It's just a matter of luck. They will risk their lives to block the gate to the demon realm when something goes wrong."
"What?" Li Ruoling trembled all over, suddenly staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, at this moment, Xuan Qian suddenly came to Li Ruoling and supported her in time: "Ling'er, are you okay?"
Li Ruoling shook her head weakly, and suddenly hugged Xuan Qian tightly. She immediately lay down beside Xuan Qian's ear and sobbed, "Senior Sister, it's over. My fiancé is a disciple of the Thousand Immortals Sect. He went to sacrifice himself to block the gate to the demon world. Woo woo..."
No wonder he left in such a hurry last night, no wonder he asked my great grandfather to give me such an expensive gift...
Ye Fei, you bad guy, I hate you!
