The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

The mouth of the Chi Wen carried the unique fishy smell of a carnivore, but after she walked two or three meters along the throat, this unpleasant odor disappeared.

Although it was still pitch black in front of her, her five senses were keen, and she had already noticed that the ground beneath her feet was starting to harden, as if she was stepping on a stone road. She immediately knew that what the Chi Wen had said was true. Its throat was indeed made of muscle, which originally had a relatively soft texture when stepped on.

At the same time, the concentration of sinister aura in the air increased significantly. With almost every twenty steps forward, the concentration of sinister aura doubled.

After about twenty breaths, a faint light began to emerge ahead.

Sure enough, there was an exit. Ning Xiaoxian strode forward, and after only a dozen steps, the view in front of her suddenly cleared up!

If Changtian were here, he would surely find that the scenery she saw was the same as that in the Flesh Furnace, except that after she came out, what she faced was that long street.

After she walked out, her body swayed and she almost collapsed.

The concentration of sinister aura here was actually forty times that of the underground palace! For her, it had reached a point where she almost couldn’t breathe. She only felt a throbbing in her temples and a long-unfelt sense of weakness spreading through her body.

Fortunately, at this very moment, the Divine Power that Changtian had left for her seemed to sense the danger she faced and automatically activated. It formed a Vigorous Air Layer around her body, instantly isolating the sinister aura. On this golden Light Shield, there were continuously flowing golden characters, and a faint golden snake gently gliding. Wherever it moved, the sinister aura there was forced to retreat, but once it left, the sinister aura gathered again, like countless rodents trying to gnaw away this layer of Light Shield clean!

Ning Xiaoxian’s face turned a bit pale again. She had already noticed that although this layer of golden light could protect her, the Divine Power left by Changtian was consuming at a frightening rate. At this rate, in less than fifty breaths, the Divine Power would be completely depleted. By then, how would she resist the terrifyingly dense sinister aura here? Such concentration could already bring her to death!

But she had made it here; how could she be content without fully exploring the underground palace?

Time was pressing; what should she do?

Ning Xiaoxian bit her lip tightly. At this point, she could only use that method, hoping it wouldn’t delay his important matters.

She calmed her mind and silently recited a few mantras.

Invoking such Divine Skills usually happens in relatively urgent situations, so these two mantras were especially short. As soon as she finished reciting, she felt a connection finally established between herself and that vast will in the far-flung void.

A vast Divine Thought instantly enveloped her mind and body.

At the same time, a familiar voice rang in her mind: "Xiao Xian? You finally thought of this method."

Summoning God Technique! This was the only method she could think of to connect with Changtian. Originally used for communication between gods and believers, this Divine Skill had been modified many times to achieve today’s effect. It not only allowed her to connect with Changtian in a short time but also allowed her to invite him to possess her and solve the problems she encountered.

As soon as Changtian took over her body, he noticed the current situation, made a soft sound of surprise, and casually pinched a few spells. Immediately, the golden Light Shield around her body became dim, as if it would disappear at any moment, and its range drastically shrank, no longer dome-shaped, but clinging tightly to her body’s surface.

She could tell at a glance that Changtian had also detected how little Divine Power he had left and was decisively gathering it all, adjusting the intensity of the Vigorous Air Layer to a critical point, where adding even a little more would be wasteful, and reducing even a little would allow the sinister aura to break through and harm her body! Such exquisite control was beyond her current ability, even if she had the intention. Only those with a Divine Sense as powerful as Changtian could concentrate such limited resources to buy her more time.

With Changtian’s personal intervention, this layer of golden Light Shield could last for about seventy more breaths.

He was already familiar with the terrain here, though the Inner Mausoleum seemed much larger than the Flesh Furnace. After glancing around to get his bearings, he immediately flew forward while saying, "Could this really be the true Inner Mausoleum? How did you find your way in here?"

Ning Xiaoxian recounted the story of saving the Chi Wen, and even Changtian had to exclaim, "Truly a Fortune General; even such great fortune could come your way. But you really shouldn’t have been so reckless. At that time, you should have gotten out of the palace first, and found a safe place to use the Summoning God Technique. Even though those two items of the barbarians are important, I didn’t want you to come for them alone. The aftereffects of the Summoning God Technique are too strong; you really shouldn’t have used it so rashly while in such a dangerous place as the underground palace."

"The courageous eat their fill, the timid starve." Hearing his voice, she felt at ease, so she said with a smug smile, "Don’t worry. At worst, I’ll find a cave to lie in for a few days; it will surely be fine." Seeing that he wanted to say more, she quickly added, "Were you able to get out of the Flesh Furnace?"

The Flesh Furnace was refined using the remains of the barbarian ancestor and counts as an ancient Divine Artifact. How could he easily break out of such a place? Not to mention the beast Yin Jiu You watching closely. To escape with that creature would be like seeking a tiger’s skin. However, there was no need to let her know all this, as it would only add to her worries.

Changtian said lightly, "Of course, I can get out. It’s just that this magic artifact was used by the barbarians with Divine Arts and exiled to countless worlds beyond. It will take a lot of time for me to find the way back." As he controlled her body, he naturally couldn’t see her expression, but he could also guess the worry in her little girl’s heart, so he comforted her, "No need to worry. Within three months, I will surely return. Moreover, my mark in this world is you; the moment I appear, I will be by your side." (To be continued.
