Huge crisis

Zhong Qing took it and saw that it was a bottle!

The bottle was one foot tall, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, entirely made of green jade.

Though a small bottle, it weighed as much as a mountain.

Inside, it contained a pool of clear green spring water.

Just a whiff of it made one's mind tremble, and their Divine Soul seemed to lighten by a few points.

“This is… Divine Soul Liquid!”

Zhong Qing was shocked.

Between Heaven and Earth, there were countless rare treasures.

Among them, some could improve one’s root bones, some could help enhance the potential of one’s Physical Body, and even more could assist in increasing one’s cultivation.

However, those that could help improve one’s Divine Soul were extremely rare in the world.

And this Divine Soul Liquid was a top-tier rare treasure that could help enhance the strength of one’s Divine Soul.

If it were used on the Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Institute, with the help of this Divine Soul Liquid, their overall strength would surely increase significantly within a year.

Zhong Qing, who had acted on a whim, had never expected to extort such a treasure from the Lord of the Abyss.

“Thanks!”

Zhong Qing laughed heartily.

Under the guidance of Green Ghost and Fire Drought, he exited the Heavenly Abyss once more.

At the same time, he thought to himself.

Perhaps he could visit the Heavenly Abyss more often in the future.

As for the Lord of the Abyss saying this was his last treasure, Zhong Qing subconsciously ignored it.

Last time, when the other party gave him the Time Pagoda, he had used similar rhetoric.

What was the result?

Today, he still gave out another treasure.

This made him realize that the Lord of the Abyss’s treasures were like water in a sponge; if you don't squeeze it, how would you know how much more it hides?

As for the other party telling him not to show up before him until he reached the Emperor Realm.

Did this implicitly mean that after reaching the Emperor Realm, he could come back to fleece him again?

The Emperor Realm, for others, might be an unreachable height for a lifetime, a goal to pursue throughout their lives.

But for Zhong Qing.

Breaking through to the Emperor Realm was only a matter of time.

How many years had it been since he started from nothing, truly embarked on the path of cultivation, and now achieved the Venerable Realm?

Less than three years!

Give him another three years!

He might just achieve the goal of becoming an Emperor!

After all, he was currently in the Venerable Realm, and between him and the Emperor Realm, there were only the Supreme Realm and the Holy Land Realm.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing felt even more delighted.

Even his departing footsteps became much lighter.

“Don’t forget our agreement!”

At this moment, an ancient and vast will emanated from within the Heavenly Abyss.

“Don’t worry!”

“You’ve said that more than once!”

“I won’t forget!”

Zhong Qing didn't look back, waving his right hand, and with the speed of a meteor chasing the moon, he quickly disappeared over the vast sea.

After a long while, a gaze retracted from within the Heavenly Abyss.

The next moment, a sigh echoed throughout the Heavenly Abyss.

“This kid, he’s truly a monster!”

Soon!

The entire Heavenly Abyss returned to tranquility once more.

Like a slumbering giant beast, it stood quietly on the surface of the sea.

…

On the other side!

After Phoenix Aotian left the Heavenly Abyss, he still felt a sense of disbelief at today’s experience.

He hadn’t expected that in an unknown Chaotic Demon Sea, there would be a place like the Heavenly Abyss, and that such a peerless ferocious being would be hidden within it.

He had no doubt!

If Zhong Qing had not accompanied him today, and he had come alone, he feared that even his bones would have been devoured.

At the same time, this also made him feel that the world was vast, and the waters of this world were too deep.

Even if he recovered his Peak cultivation in the future, he would have to act cautiously, and never again be arrogant as before, thereby underestimating the heroes of the world.

Thinking of this!

His mind was solemn!

He continued on his journey.

On the azure sea, Phoenix Aotian hurried along.

“Hm?”

Soon, he let out a surprised sound.

“How can this Heaven and Earth be so weak?”

At this moment, in Phoenix Aotian’s perception, this region had no comparability whatsoever with the Central Continent.

Not only was the Spiritual Qi dozens of times thinner, but even the Laws of Heaven and Earth were incomplete.

Other than barrenness, he could find no other word to describe this place.

Originally, in Phoenix Aotian’s view, the Chaotic Land was already barren enough.

But the level of barrenness here refreshed his cognitive lower limit.

He even found it hard to imagine how people living in such a region cultivated in this incomplete Heaven and Earth?

At this moment, he vaguely understood why his master was so eager to recall the Sect members and all the True Disciples.

Time, imperceptibly, reached deep into the night.

The moonlight was like water, and stars dotted the sky.

Phoenix Aotian dared not be negligent in the slightest regarding Zhong Qing’s command.

He traveled day and night without stopping.

As he continued to traverse the vast sea.

A strange constellation above him caught his attention.

Those were several ancient star paths.

Using stars as connection points and the bright moon as a transit station.

They were extracting the Luck of this Heaven and Earth!

“Hiss!”

Phoenix Aotian’s eyes narrowed, and his heart trembled.

“No wonder this Heaven and Earth is so barren, and even the Laws of Heaven and Earth are incomplete.”

“This is, the entire world has been raised by a certain Supreme being!”

“Who is it? Who can lay such a heaven-reaching Formation?”

Phoenix Aotian’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

He had originally thought this was just an extremely barren land.

But now it seemed, the waters here were too deep.

It was clearly the hunting ground of some Supreme being!

He dared not linger too long, and with extreme speed, he quickly left the area covered by this starry sky.

Only, the turbulent waves in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

…

Eastern Region!

Immortal River Sect!

The original Immortal River Sect was only a second-rate Sect in the entire Eastern Region.

However, with Zhong Qing’s rise, the strength of the entire Immortal River Sect underwent earth-shattering changes.

Not only did it quickly rise to the ranks of a first-rate Sect in a short period.

Behind it, the Four Great Holy Lands were even currying favor and making friends.

Though called a first-rate Sect, it already subtly showed a trend of becoming the largest Sect in the Eastern Region.

Some even spread rumors!

In this Eastern Region, one could offend a Holy Land, but never the Immortal River Sect!

Offending a Holy Land, you might only be pursued by their Disciples.

But offending the Immortal River Sect could trigger a joint pursuit and siege by the Four Great Holy Lands and numerous first-rate forces.

Half a year ago, there was a Devil Head from the Southern Region, a Earth Profound Realm expert, who, relying on his powerful strength, was quite formidable for a period.

Later, he wandered into the territory of the Immortal River Sect and merely killed a few small Disciples of the Immortal River Sect; as a result, before the sun rose the next day, he was gone.

Afterward, according to insiders, the ones who acted were several Great Holy Lands.

The Old Ancestors of several Great Holy Lands, along with their numerous subordinates, set up the Heaven and Earth Net Great Array, chasing that Devil Head until he had nowhere to go, neither in heaven nor on earth, and finally beat him to death with their fists, scattering his ashes.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Eastern Region was shaken.

At the same time, it made people realize how terrifying the Immortal River Sect truly was.

It is said that talents emerge from generation to generation, each leading the trend for hundreds of years.

People vaguely predicted that the Eastern Region in the future would likely usher in an era where the Immortal River Sect reigned supreme.

And it was this powerful Immortal River Sect that, today, faced the greatest crisis in its history since its establishment!
