Along the way, Zhao Wentong and Summer Mo lightened the gloomy spirits of Ye Xiu and Tang Luor.
When they reached the abandoned park on the hill, a crack opened in the black soil, and a frail figure emerged.
It was Jiang Baixuan.
Jiang Baixuan spotted Ye Xiu immediately and was so excited that he nearly hugged him. Ignoring his body, which had just recovered from numbness, he grabbed Ye Xiu and tried to pull him away.
"Where are you going? Can't you see these two are injured?"
"Mo is in the Soul Refining Formation! With her spiritual power, she will be refined in no time!" Jiang Baixuan exclaimed urgently.
"Take a good look at where Mo is now," Ye Xiu said with a chuckle.
Jiang Baixuan looked around and noticed Summer Mo hiding behind Zhao Wentong. He rushed over to her side, checked that she was unharmed, and let out a long sigh of relief.
After calming down a bit, Jiang Baixuan continued, "That Soul Refining Formation is subtle and exceptionally powerful. I don't know how you managed to break it. That formation is from the Ghost Gate..."
"We'll talk about that later. Qian Jinyu is just exhausted, while Xie Bei is seriously injured. We need to take care of them first!" Ye Xiu interrupted Jiang Baixuan and struggled to carry Qian Jinyu toward the crack.
"Then let's hurry inside!" Jiang Baixuan ran ahead to lead the way.
Once they entered the crack in the black soil, the world before them transformed completely. It was like crossing into another realm beyond the ancient cypress trees in front of the Tang Family Mansion. This world was entirely different from the outside!
The air was thick with a sense of death, and a faint purple glow flickered around them. The wooden ancient pavilion lacked modern electric lights; instead, green-glowing lanterns illuminated it, casting an eerie green light on the floors and eaves.
The Ghost Arts Sect truly lived up to its name; it resembled something out of a movie's underworld palace—no wonder it was known for raising ghosts.
Although Ye Xiu knew where the Dao Ghost Arts Sect was located, this was his first time entering it. As he stepped through the wooden pavilion's entrance, he noticed more figures around him. Upon closer inspection, most of these figures lacked physical bodies...
Zhao Wentong trembled behind everyone, his expression one that could give Qian Fatty a year’s worth of laughter!
After settling the unconscious duo, Jiang Baixuan stepped outside to join Ye Xiu and the others.
"Why did Qian Fatty and Zhao Wentong come looking for me? Didn't we agree to split up?" Ye Xiu asked Jiang Baixuan.
"When they encountered me, Summer Mo accidentally wandered into that Soul Refining Formation. With my strength, I couldn't break that formation no matter what, so I sent them to find you while I went back to search for texts to see if I could find a solution..."
"Looking for me? What use is there in that? I’ve been a Cultivator for less than one percent of your time."
Jiang Baixuan gazed at Ye Xiu with admiration, as if he were a deity. "But you are a disciple of the Seven Lives Sect!"
Ye Xiu rolled his eyes at Jiang Baixuan. "When did I join the Seven Lives Sect? I never agreed to that."
"But that senior Yan Changting announced it in front of all the living masters! It was so impressive!" Jiang Baixuan exclaimed excitedly.
Tang Luor suddenly spoke up, "Calm down for a moment. Do you know what kind of trouble they’ve caused?"
At this point, everyone fell silent.
Jiang Baixuan stroked his chin, frowning as he tentatively asked, "About that Thunder Wave earlier?"
Tang Luor and Ye Xiu exchanged glances but remained silent, merely nodding.
When Jiang Baixuan realized that the Thunder Wave phenomenon was caused by their own people, he understood the gravity of the situation.
After some light reasoning, he figured that Qian Jinyu and Zhao Wentong were on their way to find Ye Xiu and were likely nearing the Tang family territory. The journey from the Tang family territory to Starlit City took several hours. Given the speed and energy with which the Thunder Wave swept through Starlit City, it was clear that the Thunder Wave could not have affected just a small area; it was impacting the entire Cultivation World!
"I can’t do anything about this now. Once those two wake up, we should all leave together! I’ll come with you. If we stay here any longer, it will only bring disaster to my family," Jiang Baixuan said after much contemplation.
Ye Xiu patted Jiang Baixuan's shoulder reassuringly.
Jiang Baixuan had no obligation to accompany them on this dangerous journey, yet he couldn’t disregard his family's safety. Thus, he made a decision that neither endangered his family nor betrayed his friends—he would stick with them, leaving his fate to chance.
"Ye Xiu! How did that Thunder Wave phenomenon occur? Or rather... who caused it?" Jiang Baixuan asked seriously.
"Qian Jinyu!" Ye Xiu replied, enunciating each word clearly.
"The fat guy?!" Jiang Baixuan exclaimed in surprise. "How could he...?"
"Earlier, he suddenly activated his Spiritual Source and instantly ascended to the mid-level of Spirit Heart Realm cultivation. After being struck by a lightning-type spell, he absorbed all the lightning into his own power. At that moment, he was like a god! I don’t know exactly what realm he reached, but he was hundreds of times stronger than that so-called leader from Qishan Peak!" Ye Xiu explained.
"Unbelievable..." Jiang Baixuan said in astonishment, unsure of how to respond.
After listening to Ye Xiu, Jiang Baixuan clearly had no doubts and accepted this explanation wholeheartedly. This belief completely overturned his understanding of cultivation.
Since ancient times, all Cultivators have grown stronger step by step; there has never been a miracle where one could directly open the Spiritual Source and ascend to the Spirit Realm. Even reaching the peak of the intermediate level in the Spirit Heart Realm was achieved through cultivation. In comparison, Jiang Baixuan's worldview instantly collapsed.
As if trapped in an abyss, Jiang Baixuan suddenly reignited a fervent passion, exclaiming, "Since that fat guy is a god-like existence, what do we have to fear? One Dao Alliance? Even ten Dao Alliances are useless! Haha, you all didn't even think of that."
Then, Ye Xiu extinguished Jiang Baixuan's enthusiasm with a look of disbelief. "At that time, his strength was indeed unmatched. However, when he fell, he transformed into Thunder Wave..."
Silence enveloped the group for a few moments before Jiang Baixuan opened his mouth again.
Jiang Baixuan excitedly declared, "I know how you broke the Soul Refining Formation! Haha! After I went home and reviewed the texts, I found that this kind of formation can only be broken by Force; there is no other way. Moreover, the Cultivation required to break the formation must be above the Spirit Realm! So it must have been the Thunder Wave triggered by that fat guy that broke it!"
"Who would have thought that the phenomenon caused by that fat guy would actually be somewhat useful," Ye Xiu remarked leisurely.
Tang Luor and Zhao Wentong's expressions were slowly turning terrifying.
The two shouted in unison, "This is bad!!!"
