199: Chapter 199 The Call

A space rift that had just been cleared.

A massive world-suppressing monument stood on the earth, ripples spreading out, purifying the erosion qi and stabilizing the space.

Not far from the world-suppressing monument was a resonance dao tower, its body glowing with flowing light as profound runes cascaded down.

Under the effect of the world-suppressing monument, the light at the edges of that massive rift quickly dimmed and contracted; after a slight spatial ripple, the rift completely closed and vanished.

"Eldest Senior Sister!"

A Disciple from Chunxi Peak flew over on a sword, bowing respectfully before reporting:

"According to news from Junior Sisters in other locations, the known space rifts within the borders of Chiyun Kingdom have been basically cleared by our Sect's Disciples in cooperation with other immortal cultivation kingdoms and Chiyun Kingdom Cultivators. world-suppressing monuments and resonance dao towers have also been set up."

"The main force of Chiyun Kingdom's Demon Army has been defeated, and the remaining demons are being wiped out. News has also come from several neighboring fourth and fifth-grade immortal cultivation kingdoms that their main rifts have also been basically brought under control."

Chi Wanhe nodded, a hint of relief appearing on her elegant face:

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Disciples. Pass down the order to strengthen patrols to ensure no rifts were missed, and assist the various kingdoms in stabilizing their defense lines."

"Yes!" The Disciple received the order and left.

Chi Wanhe looked into the distance; on the far horizon, there was a pitch-black mark.

That was the Southeast Main Rift!

"Chiyun Kingdom can be considered finished. We'll prepare to set off for Nanzhao Kingdom tomorrow."

"It's just a pity that I still haven't figured out what this wind-attribute energy is."

Besides them, Chi Wanhe had also discovered it. Aside from the Cultivators of Chiyun Kingdom and nearby immortal cultivation kingdoms, not a single Cultivator from other more distant immortal cultivation kingdoms could trigger this wind-attribute energy.

While suppressing the space rifts, Chi Wanhe had also been searching for the source of this wind-attribute energy.

Unfortunately, she found nothing.

"Little Junior Sister, tomorrow we..."

Before she could finish, Xia Yingying suddenly grabbed Chi Wanhe's sleeve.

"Eldest Senior Sister!"

Xia Yingying pointed toward a range of mountains shrouded in twilight in the distance,

"I don't know why... but since just now, I've been feeling a... call. It's very clear, in that direction..."

Chi Wanhe looked in the direction she was pointing, only to see towering mountains and swirling mist; there was nothing special about it.

"A call?!"

Thinking of the fact that only Yingying could feel it, Chi Wanhe's eyes lit up!

"Could it be..."

...

The moon hung high, its cold moonlight spilling down, coating the steep cliff with a layer of silver frost. Below the cliff was a bottomless abyss, thick mist rolling like a white sea, obscuring everything.

Chi Wanhe and Xia Yingying stood side by side at the edge of the cliff, the night wind blowing their dresses.

"Little Junior Sister, are you sure it's here?"

Chi Wanhe confirmed once more, her gaze sweeping over the churning sea of clouds below. No matter how she looked at it, this was just a steep, ordinary mountain cliff.

"Yes!" Xia Yingying nodded vigorously, her small face full of seriousness. She pointed to a certain spot in the churning clouds beyond the cliff,

"I'm very sure! The voice calling me is coming from deep within this sea of clouds! I feel it... guiding me."

Chi Wanhe looked at the vast sea of clouds below, then at her certain Little Junior Sister. For some reason, scenes from Second Junior Sister Qin Zhaoxue's "exciting" storybooks flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but mutter under her breath:

"This scene... looks like something Second Junior Sister would write. The Revered Master... cough, the protagonist jumps off a cliff, finds a divine Secret Manual, and then proceeds to win over all the female Grand Elders, the female Sect Master, female Elders, Senior Sisters, and Junior Sisters of the entire Sect, eventually reaching the Peak of life?"

She shook her head, casting aside the untimely association:

"Forget it. Since you feel it so clearly, Little Junior Sister, let's go down and take a look. Anyway, we..."

She paused, her lips curling slightly, "Can fly."

The two looked at each other and took a step off the edge of the cliff at the same time.

Spiritual Qi flowed around Chi Wanhe and Xia Yingying, their clothes fluttering like moonlit Fairies as they slowly descended toward the sea of clouds Xia Yingying had pointed to.

As their figures vanished into that seemingly ordinary thick mist, a sudden change occurred.

The space ahead rippled like a water surface with a stone thrown in, spreading translucent circles.

A soft but irresistible suction came from within.

Chi Wanhe's pupils constricted, and she instinctively tried to grab Xia Yingying, but that power instantly enveloped them both.

Shua!

Their figures were like water droplets merging into the sea, vanishing completely in a flash of spatial ripples. The churning sea of clouds remained as it was, as if nothing had ever happened.

...

Unknown space, quiet mountain range.

Ancient trees reached for the sky, lush and green, with exotic flowers and herbs everywhere, and the fragrance of vegetation filled the air.

In the distance, waterfalls and springs flowed, white ribbons hanging in the air.

Two figures appeared at the foot of a mountain.

After a slight dizziness, they felt solid ground beneath their feet.

Chi Wanhe and Xia Yingying looked around warily.

"This place is..."

Looking around, Chi Wanhe's beautiful eyes were filled with shock and confusion. Her Divine Thought spread out instantly, but she couldn't find an end; the area seemed extremely vast.

"Are we... still in the Three Provinces Realm?"

Xia Yingying's eyes also widened, her small mouth slightly agape:

"So... such a beautiful place! The Spiritual Qi is so abundant! Eldest Senior Sister, we didn't... accidentally fall into the True Demon Realm's nest, did we? Is the True Demon Realm this beautiful?"

Her thoughts were a bit imaginative.

Chi Wanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her words. She quickly checked several protective treasures bestowed by her Revered Master and confirmed they could all be activated normally, which put her mind slightly at ease.

After sensing carefully for a moment, Chi Wanhe was somewhat uncertain.

"Spiritual Qi... this doesn't seem like Spiritual Qi... it seems more Advanced? It's just too thin."

But even if it was so thin, Chi Wanhe felt that it was much stronger than dense Spiritual Qi.

She turned and said solemnly to Xia Yingying, "Little Junior Sister, this place is strange. Even with the life-saving items bestowed by Revered Master, we must not let our guard down! Stay close to me."

"Mm!"

Xia Yingying nodded vigorously, putting away her curiosity and summoning the lotus sword with her small hand.

The two stood on a hillside, looking into the distance. The mountain ranges rolled on without end. The sky was a pure azure blue, and the high-hanging sun radiated warm light, completely different from the moonlit night outside.

"Right,"

Chi Wanhe remembered the key point, "Little Junior Sister, now that we're here, can you still feel that call?"

Hearing this, Xia Yingying immediately closed her eyes and sensed carefully.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, her clear gaze looking toward a certain direction deep in the mountains. With a strange feeling, she pointed firmly to a spot.

"Yes! It's even clearer! It's right over there!"
