Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1414: Chapter 759: Searching and Seeking (Part 2)

The two, Zhao Sheng, dared not hesitate. They quickly activated their talismans and escaped into the earth’s crust, vanishing in an instant.

…

Several days later.

In a vast death desert, fierce winds constantly rose, sweeping up sand mixed with countless bones into the sky.

Zhao Sheng stood atop a cloud of auspicious vapors, his gaze continuously scanning the Death Desert formed after a great battle.

Beside him, Xue Susu stood still, her expression silent, while Wu Yue stood behind them, absentmindedly touching the Corpse Dissection Bag at his waist.

“Is this where the prosperous Qifeng Domain of Demon Suppression Star used to be?” Zhao Sheng asked, somewhat surprised.

“Hey, Senior Sister, look over there!” Wu Yue’s eyes shone as he suddenly lifted his hand, pointing to a mountain ridge partially buried under sand and gravel, several hundred miles away.

Zhao Sheng followed his direction and looked over, suddenly sensing something amiss beneath that mountain ridge!

Xue Susu’s expression lit with joy, and she suddenly urged the cloud to fly in that direction.

In a blink, the cloud descended atop the mountain ridge and gradually dissipated.

Xue Susu couldn’t wait to wave her slender hand, instantly enveloping the entire mountain ridge with a clear light, and then watching as a billion tons of sand and gravel soared into the air, whooshing eighty miles away and quickly forming high dunes.

With the sand gone, the mountain ridge revealed its true appearance, a vast ruin. The remnants of palaces and towers still vaguely hinted at the past prosperity.

“In days gone by, the Demon Suppression Star was one of the few High Spirit Stars, second only to the Taiyi Star. Now, in just tens of thousands of years, it has fallen into such a dire state. The Alien Demon Clan’s crimes are unforgivable!” Wu Yue exclaimed with feeling.

“The Alien Demons are just minor pests. After this clan is destroyed, the Demon Suppression Star will certainly regain its former glory,” Zhao Sheng said after listening.

“Perhaps!” Wu Yue shook his head with self-mockery.

At this moment, Xue Susu suddenly spoke joyfully, “Found it, Wen Shifei wasn’t lying after all!”

“Really? Where is it?” Wu Yue asked with a look of joy.

Xue Susu did not answer. Instead, her hands continuously formed intricate spell movements, sending a series of Law Mysterious Light into the ground below.

As strands of light merged into the ruins, tiny points of light ascended into the sky from various places in the ruins, and a faint, nameless fluctuation suddenly touched the Primordial Spirits of the three.

With a ‘whoosh,’ a soft breeze swept away the dust in the Upper Sky,

and the demonic qi that filled the heavens and earth was completely expelled from the land, forming a pure and clear realm.

Xue Susu waved her hand, summoning the Demon Slaying Sword, which lightly landed on the ground and then sank.

Wu Yue immediately flew down after her, with Zhao Sheng right behind him.

In no time, the three had descended thousands of miles into the earth’s crust, finally reaching an underground cave mansion, greeted by a scene of ruins.

This cave mansion was mostly abandoned and collapsed, with only a small stone room remaining at the deepest part. Inside stood statues of women carved from White Jade.

Looking around, the statues were lifelike, all depicting the same woman.

Her features were delicate and elegant, her figure seductive, the curves revealing all the charms of a mature woman, but the expressions on the statues’ faces varied from joy to anger to sorrow to amusement, among others.

Counting carefully, there were as many as fourteen statues.

Zhao Sheng stared at the statues for a few moments, and a wave of agitation welled up within him, emotions and desires uncontrollably bubbling forth from his heart.

Startled, he quickly looked away, only to see Wu Yue beside him staring intently at the statues, his eyes showing a trace of obsession and struggle.

Just as Zhao Sheng was about to call out to wake him, Wu Yue suddenly regained clarity and hurriedly diverted his eyes, exclaiming, “Impressive!”

“It’s said that the Taiyi Spirit Palace has two major cultivation paths, one called the Emotional Dao, and the other the Heartless Sect! Wen Shifei practiced the Supreme Heartless Dao. Xue Susu’s lineage likely belongs to the branch of the Emotional Dao!” Zhao Sheng thought to himself.

As he was pondering, he saw Xue Susu put away the Demon Slaying Sword and summon an Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom, quickly stepping into the stone room.

The next moment, a colorful light screen rose, blocking the sight and senses of Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue.

Inside the stone room, Xue Susu walked past each statue, the Extreme Emotion Immortal Mushroom on her shoulder continuously releasing a stream of radiant light.

When she reached the eighth Merciful Human Image, the statue finally reacted. Its face suddenly glowed with a faint light, its eyes flashed with a trace of spirited brilliance, and then its limbs and body moved, coming to life.

Xue Susu was overwhelmed with excitement, immediately kneeling in front of the statue, trembling, “Master, disciple… has finally seen you again!”

The Merciful Human Image radiated a dim light, looking extremely weak.

“Susu, you still came… Alas, you shouldn’t have come!” the statue’s light flickered as a faint wave of Divine Thought entered Xue Susu’s mind.

“Master, I came too late,” Xue Susu replied obstinately, as if she hadn’t heard.

“Foolish child, during that battle years ago, I committed an unforgivable mistake! That’s why I willingly sacrificed myself, just for redemption! Why risk your life to find me?” Yunqing Venerable sighed weakly.

“Master, even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, I will save you! Master Yang Jian also agrees with my approach, even going as far as to bestow me a Sword Spirit!”

With that, she flipped her hand, and the blood-stained Demon Slaying Stone Sword appeared once again, then vanished again.

“Susu, you are mistaken! Yang Jian doesn’t care about my life or death; he only covets my Lifebound Magic Treasure, Ten Thousand Red Dust,” Yunqing Venerable bluntly exposed Master Yang Jian’s ulterior motives.

Xue Susu sighed softly, “I am well aware of Master’s intentions, but as long as I can save you, nothing else matters.”

Yunqing Venerable sighed, “But I have long since fallen, and now only a couple of slivers of my Divine Split remain. Unless someone can persuade the Taiyi Immortal Monarch, I absolutely cannot be revived.”

“Master, I—”

“Enough, there is no hope; you need not say more! While I still have a sliver of Telekinesis, focus sincerely and wholeheartedly to receive the last of my essence!”

As these words fell, a vague light shadow suddenly flew out from the statue’s forehead and merged into Xue Susu’s head.

Xue Susu sat cross-legged in reaction, a layer of radiant Light Halo gradually appearing on her face, presenting an expression of solemnity.

At the same time, a bright halo appeared behind her head, exhibiting a chaotic form with apparent clear and turbid energies swirling within, as if symbolizing something.

…

Who knows how much time passed!

When Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue were anxiously waiting outside, the colorful light screen that shrouded the stone room suddenly shattered, and Xue Susu emerged with a calm expression.

Zhao Sheng was secretly astonished at the sight, sensing that her aura had become flawless, as if some kind of qualitative transformation had occurred.

“Senior Sister Xue, did you find Yunqing Venerable?” Wu Yue asked with a hint of concern, his eyes flashing with a trace of surprise.

Xue Susu gently shook her head, saying, “Not yet, but I did gain something this time! We must immediately set off for Fallen Immortal Sea.”

Hearing this, Wu Yue asked, slightly surprised, “Does that mean… Yunqing Venerable is in the Fallen Immortal Sea?”

“Fallen Immortal Sea, isn’t it on Dome Sea Star?” Zhao Sheng suddenly interjected.

Dome Sea Star, twelve Constant Years away, is the outermost fortress star of the Demon Suppression Star Domain, an important node of the Demon Suppression line of defense back then.

During the great defeat of the Human Clan, Dome Sea Star held out to the end before being captured by the Alien Demons.

Now, Dome Sea Star is occupied by the ferocious demons of the Alien Demon Clan, heavily guarded outside and tightly defended inside, making infiltration extremely difficult.

“Let’s go! We don’t have much time left, we’ll first visit Wen Shifei, and then immediately head to Dome Sea Star.”

With that, Xue Susu soared into the air, heading toward the ground.

Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue, seeing this, each suppressed their thoughts and followed her.
