Chapter 1744 - 1743: Entering the Desolate World!
Upon opening her eyes, the Holy Daughter immediately asked what had happened.
She only knew that a few days ago, when the Dragon Commander and the others arrived, she freed up her hands and used astral projection to attend to her own affairs.
As for why they had abandoned their posts instead of defending the camp, she had no idea.
"It’s like this..."
Qi Ling briefly explained the situation.
For example, Old Lady Liang’s words, and that they were forming an army to Vine Dragon Mountain to prepare for the calamity transfer.
The Holy Daughter was surprised and said, "Really... is there a way to transfer the calamity?"
"Yes, time is extremely urgent, but hope is not lost," Qi Ling nodded, saying, "Currently, the Five Elements Immortal Power Army should have entered the Wilderness World and is establishing an opening. I believe they will succeed!"
"If that’s truly the case, then that’s wonderful!"
The Holy Daughter’s face also blossomed with a beautiful smile, "In that case, he will be safe..."
"..."
Everyone was mindful that most of them had come here for the world.
But she was here for Qin Feng...
"In that case, I need to work even harder," the Holy Daughter looked at them and said, "Next, this place will rely on you!"
...
Meanwhile.
Liu Li, along with 150,000 troops of the Long Jun Wan Jun, after reaching the open space at the peak of Vine Dragon Mountain, immediately lined up according to the distribution map of the "Qiankun Transfer Array" and then Liu Li operated immortal power, and sensed Qin Feng, Ning Tingxue, Mei Niang, and Ni Chang outside Vine Dragon Mountain.
The next moment, they vanished from the mountaintop.
It was unclear how much time passed.
Everyone felt as if they were in a space-time tunnel for a long time, not knowing if they were moving forward, backward, up, or down, only aware of moving and at extreme speed, with flashes of starlight passing around.
Finally.
The 150,000 people, including Liu Li, felt a weightlessness and were fiercely thrown to the ground.
Immediately thereafter.
Everyone felt a strong discomfort in their bodies, as if being squeezed by space, like fish out of water, struggling to breathe.
However, a slight glow flickered across their bodies.
This was the light emitted from the Spirit Talisman on them, blending into their bodies.
Old Lady Liang had previously prepared a bottle of Purple Cloud Immortal Power and handed it to Qin Feng, who instructed Baili Qiurong to attach the Purple Cloud Immortal Power to a large number of Spirit Talismans, one per person.
This Purple Cloud Immortal Power was specially refined by the Purple Cloud Fairy upon realizing the Desolate World would be tough to survive in those days.
Sure enough.
After absorbing their respective Purple Cloud Immortal Power, the group finally felt better.
"Where is this?"
"Is it the legendary Desolate World?"
"..."
The 150,000 people stared around in wonder.
Currently, they were beneath a giant tree.
It was called a "giant tree" because the diameter of the trunk was several tens of meters, and the tree was incredibly tall, reaching hundreds of meters!!
The air was misty grey, seemingly carrying a layer of yellow sand, obscuring the view of the distance.
The surrounding weeds were also over a person’s height.
"Never imagined the Desolate World like this; it’s truly eye-opening..." someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
The Long Ju Wan Jun and Liu Li surveyed around but found nothing.
No signs of life were visible.
The surroundings resembled a barren mountain, with no snakes, birds, grasshoppers, ants—absolutely nothing.
The only living things were the massive tree and the endless weeds.
Moreover, the tree and weeds also seemed on the brink of withering, devoid of vitality.
In short.
The place appeared to be a world without life force.
"Can you sense them?"
Liu Li and the Long Ju Wan Jun found Baili Qiurong and asked.
Baili Qiurong sat cross-legged, took out a Spirit Talisman, performed the Hand Formation with her hands, burned the Spirit Talisman, directed its power with her sword finger to her temples, and entered a meditation state.
After a while.
She finally opened her eyes wide, furrowed her brow, and said, "This is bad, I can’t sense them at all!"
"Is it because the distance is too far?" the Wan Jun and Liu Li asked.
"No, it’s that we underestimated this world. The air here is too thin, and it has a special magnetic field power—ordinary communication methods have no effect," Baili Qiurong said.
"..."
The Wan Jun and Liu Li frowned upon hearing this.
According to their plan, upon arriving in the Desolate World, the Five Great Immortal Forces would proceed according to the "Qiankun Transfer Array" first step for Array Formation.
The Qiankun Transfer Array involves three steps.
The first step lets them enter the Desolate World.
The second step is opening a breach in the Desolate World.
The third step connects the opened breach with the calamity space-time entrance to transfer the calamity here.
Now it’s time for the second step: opening the breach.
Unlike the first step, the second requires a lot of time, which was why Old Lady Liang initially believed it would fail.
Time is already tight.
If unable to contact the others, it spells trouble.
"The important thing is we don’t even know our current location," Baili Qiurong frowned, saying, "If we knew, we could position ourselves like atop Vine Dragon Mountain and operate, but we have no idea where they are, nor where we are."
"I’ll go up and check!"
Liu Li jumped up, climbed the giant tree beside, and ascended.
She climbed up to four or five hundred meters and looked around.
Unfortunately, a layer of yellow sand seemed to cover the surroundings, making it impossible to see far.
"No good, can’t see the distance."
She returned, brows furrowed, saying.
"Should we send someone to scout around?"
The Long Jun Wan Jun asked Baili Qiurong.
Baili Qiurong shook her head, saying, "No, look!"
She took out a Compass.
The compass needle spun crazily, going nowhere.
"The magnetic field here is abnormal; the likelihood of getting lost is too high."
She stated.
"What do we do now?"
Liu Li asked.
"We can only wait now."
Baili Qiurong sighed softly and said, "I only hope Qin Feng has a solution; this is our only option..."
Meanwhile.
Qin Feng, Elder Shi, and Zuoqiu Feng led the Wood Immortal Power Army, also lost, not daring to wander.
"Now that contact with them is lost and we can’t search, what do we do?"
Elder Shi lamented.
Qin Feng scanned ahead, frowning, saying, "Then there’s only one way."
"What way?"
Elder Shi’s eyes lit up.
Qin Feng said, "Find the King of Wilderness!"
"...that’s impossible!!"
Elder Shi immediately rejected.
He knew Qin Feng intended to battle the King of Wilderness, which would surely provoke a massive disturbance, possibly attracting others’ attention.
But, the King of Wilderness was too strong!
"Old Lady Liang previously advised that the ’Qiankun Transfer Array’ must be completed before alarming the King of Wilderness; otherwise, all of us together wouldn’t be its match, and we can’t take that risk!" Elder Shi said with a frown.
