Then a pleasant voice suggested, "No one knows about this place anymore. We just need to release a bit of Divine Sense here. Let's study how to deal with that Beast together."
"That's right, this is a tough problem, and we need to discuss it thoroughly. If we can't work together with all our strength, then we have no hope of obtaining this item," the rough voice agreed with the pleasant voice.
The woman said, "Until we defeat the Beast, we must not turn against each other."
Both the rough voice and the pleasant voice responded in unison, "Alright." "This is necessary."
The three then withdrew.
Just moments ago, there had been a fierce battle, but suddenly, due to the woman's appearance and the mention of the Beast, the two immediately stopped fighting. What was going on? Were they studying how to deal with the Beast because there was a Beast even more powerful than the three of them?
Even Dream Spin was only comparable to Angered Heaven's Combat Power; what kind of Beast could instill fear in these three? A Second-Stage Savage Beast? A Third-Order Savage Beast?
Guan Yue searched for this powerful wild dog and was secretly astonished that such a terrifying existence could be found in Yongning Continent; it truly exceeded his expectations.
After he shared this situation with Ruyi Girl, she sighed, "There are actually others who can hide like me in Yongning Continent. I am here for Molang, while they are here for Heaven and Earth Treasure. But they are too ruthless; they immediately slaughter countless lives without hesitation. Their sins are truly grave."
Only then did Guan Yue realize that those strong individuals had many ways to evade the heavenly court's pursuit. If he had entered Ruyi Girl's Underwater Palace at that time, he could have avoided Heaven's Will and not been found by Ultimate Light.
Ruyi Girl then pondered, "Who exactly are Wood Old Ghost, Helian Old Ghost, and Hua? We must find them to unravel this chaotic situation."
Gao Yuxin also said, "They must be related to the Mu Family. We should return to the Mu Family and ask for people. I just wonder if Lu Fang and the others have now formed connections with these strong individuals. They might have formed an interest group."
Guan Yue said, "I now suspect that the Mu Family has two Experts above Little Ancestor Saint level—one we have met before and another present here—who may have reached the Supreme Divine Realm. Therefore, we should continue searching for Heaven and Earth Treasure here. Both you and I have the ability to see through things, which is our advantage; those three old men do not have our edge."
Ruyi Girl replied, "You and Miss Lan stay here to continue searching. I will take Lat's Hand and Jin Xi to the Mu Family. We may not be able to break their formation, but capturing two Senior Cultivators from the Mu Family should be possible. Then we can search around and uncover the secrets of the Mu Family."
Guan Yue agreed that it was a good idea, and Gao Yuxin also consented to split up.
Thus, Guan Yue and Guan Tian, along with Lan Xuelei and her clone, stayed at Snowy Luo Peak to continue searching for the Heaven and Earth Treasure, while Ruyi Girl and Jin Xi went to the Mu Family to catch the "tongue."
Two days passed, and they had searched almost half of the Xun Luo Peak area, but still found no clues.
Guan Yue decided to separate from Gao Yuxin, allowing Guan Tian to take Gao Yuxin with him. Since both of them had the ability of clairvoyance, this would double their search speed.
Now, Guan Yue's clairvoyance had surpassed Gao Yuxin's, allowing him to see underground for about five thousand meters, while Gao Yuxin, despite practicing the Lahong Great Sage's techniques, could only see about two thousand meters underground.
Nevertheless, both of them discovered quite a few underground treasures and had a bountiful harvest. Gao Yuxin happily said, "If she had time, she would dedicate a period specifically to collecting underground treasures; that way, she would quickly become wealthy."
This drew laughter from Guan Tian and Lan Xuelei's clone.
Just as Guan Yue was about to rest in a corner of a valley, he suddenly noticed that this corner was actually a very narrow passageway entrance.
He looked out and saw that this small path extended for twenty miles before going deep underground. After fifty miles underground, there was a vast space that appeared quite blurry; no matter how hard Guan Yue tried, he could not see clearly.
Lan Xuelei was just about to lie in Guan Yue's arms to rest for a while when she heard that there was a passage below. She immediately became excited and entered the entrance with Guan Yue.
Both of them were young and impulsive by nature, and with the Celestial Soldier as their support, they felt no fear at all. As they descended, it felt as if Guan Yue had returned to that ancient tomb above the sea. It was also a winding path leading into obscurity and twisted for dozens of miles into an underground structure.
However, when they reached fifty miles underground, both of them were stunned.
They had reached a dead end! There was no way forward.
From above, this should have been a vast space, but upon entering, it turned out to be a dead end. Guan Yue sensed that there was a secret here, but as he scanned around with his clairvoyant vision, he found no flaws. This truly was a dead end.
Lan Xuelei explained, "It’s possible that the Experts used their divine powers to alter reality. We are not clear about the methods of the Little Ancestor Saint; if they are using techniques from the Great Deity to trick us, it would be very difficult to uncover."
"If all three of them are Great Deities, then they might have existed in Yongning Continent for a long time." Guan Yue said heavily: "If what they seek is something we want as well, it will definitely be more challenging for us to find it. But it's not without solutions."
Guan Yue began to whisper to Lan Xuelei, "Since we have found something strange here, let's break through and see what is inside. However, don't exert too much strength; if there are any powerful beings inside, we need to maintain our combat capability."
Lan Xuelei nodded in understanding.
Guan Yue recalled something and pointed towards the east. Then, both of them moved simultaneously, swinging the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword. With a loud crash, a wall collapsed, revealing another passage.
Why wasn't it the large space they had seen above? Guan Yue felt very puzzled and surprised. Could the Great Deity really manipulate space?
Seeing the opening, they did not rush in immediately but instead observed from outside. Using Divine Sense to scan the area, they found no signs of life inside. Only then did they hold hands and walk into the passage together.
The passage continued downward for nearly fifty miles until they reached an underground water level, only to discover they had entered a dead end.
Without hesitation, they swung their swords again, and a magnificent hall appeared before them, but it was filled with Death Qi!
As soon as the hall was opened by them, the Death Qi surged directly towards them. The overwhelming pressure of the Death Qi caused Lan Xuelei to faint instantly.
However, Guan Yue immediately employed Magic Supreme Technique to absorb the Death Qi step by step, transforming it into his own power. He carefully lifted Lan Xuelei and placed her on the ground, then desperately used Magic Supreme Technique to devour the thick Death Qi in the hall.
Death Qi is the essence of Ablation. It can completely obliterate all life force and is toxic and corrosive, composed entirely of deathly energy. It is extremely formidable and unrelated to a Disciple's cultivation level; even a Little Ancestor Saint could be obliterated by Death Qi without special resistance.
Thanks to the absorption and digestion capabilities of Magic Supreme Technique, Guan Yue was completely unafraid of Death Qi and its attacks. Yet he still felt a lingering fear—partly due to Lan Xuelei's unconsciousness and partly because of his own recklessness.
As a peak being in the Eternal Realm, Lan Xuelei could only withstand the effects of Death Qi for a brief moment. This demonstrated just how terrifying this Death Qi was. Fortunately, she had not absorbed too much Death Qi and her cultivation foundation was very solid, allowing her to escape disaster.
However, if he acted recklessly again next time, it could endanger his teammates. In fact, using his perception ability could have revealed abnormalities; he just hadn't considered that someone would use Death Qi to attack. He must be more cautious in the future.
After absorbing all the Death Qi, Guan Yue finally turned his attention to rescuing Lan Xuelei. When she woke up, they exchanged wry smiles, both knowing they had been too reckless!
After Lan Xuelei rested for a while, they both gathered their spirits and continued onward.
Before him was an expanse of ocean!
Could it be underground water? No, there would only be underground rivers and lakes, but not an underground ocean!
This must be another form of obstruction!
Guan Yue thought for a moment and then jumped into the ocean. A strange force immediately surged toward him, and as soon as this force approached him, it began to corrode his body.
Guan Yue quickly jumped up, but the corrosive substance in the ocean seemed to be drawn by his body, continuing to impact him. In an instant, it created a hole in his body, exposing even his white rib bones, yet Guan Yue felt no pain at all.
Guan Yue immediately activated the Golden Sun within him and unleashed Ultimate Light, which successfully blocked the corrosive water.
Lan Xuelei turned pale with fright. Seeing Guan Yue summon Little Sun and emit Ultimate Light, she placed her hand on her chest and took a slight breath. She asked in surprise, "So that's how Ultimate Light can be used?"
"The Heavenly Court is afraid I might die on Yongning Continent, so they granted me Ultimate Light. It's also a life-saving treasure that can protect my life for a year, which is why I dared to give it a try," Guan Yue said with a hearty laugh. Indeed, after using Ultimate Light, his body quickly restored itself, showing no signs of damage from the corrosive water.
Guan Yue collected quite a bit of this corrosive water in a jade bottle. Lan Xuelei curiously asked, "Isn't this water an illusion?"
Guan Yue smiled and replied, "When they reach that level, there's no need for deception. Everything they set up is transported from afar, so this corrosive water must be real. If there's a chance in the future, we should definitely let them taste it."
Lan Xuelei asked, "Can we break through now?"
Guan Yue hurriedly said, "Don't rush; let me take a closer look."
