CHAPTER 103: Resolute and Determined
“Elder, I must report that the elder of the outer sect has warned me,” Tan Yun lowered his head and said calmly, “When I discovered a Supreme Soul Spring outside the giant formation, I took the risk to collect it, only to be pursued by a demon eagle ever since.”
The woman in a black dress spoke firmly, “You’ve managed to survive since leaving the Sky-reaching Giant Formation, which is quite fortunate. Remember, the Fallen God Canyon is fraught with danger; it is not a place for someone with mere third level of fetal soul realm to wander. Hurry back.”
“I will remember the elder's teachings,” Tan Yun replied respectfully, filled with gratitude. “Thank you for saving my life.”
Just as the woman in the black dress was about to say something else, a hoarse voice came from the southern horizon, infused with seven parts weariness and three parts unwillingness, “Sister Tang, we have researched for three hundred years, yet we still failed to break the formation today.”
“This place is perilous, and we are all injured. The sovereign has ordered us to return to the sect immediately.”
Upon hearing this, the woman in the black dress nodded, a drop of crimson blood falling from her mouth into the void. “Alright, I will return now.”
As her voice faded, she glanced down at Tan Yun. “Get into the Spirit Vessel quickly; I will send you on your way.”
“Disciple obeys,” Tan Yun said, the ancient voice still lingering in his mind as he confusedly entered the Spirit Vessel.
In the sky, the woman in the black dress made no visible movements, only uttering a single word, “Go.” Instantly, the Spirit Vessel soared into the air, shooting toward the western horizon like a streak of white lightning.
The speed was so fast that it exceeded the Spirit Vessel's maximum speed by more than five times.
Fifteen million miles to the west was the Setting Sun Forest, shrouded by the Sky-reaching Giant Formation.
Soon after, the woman in the black dress transformed into a beam of black light, rushing southward…
A moment later, the Spirit Vessel had already flown thousands of miles through the void.
Due to the excessive speed, Tan Yun in the cultivation room could hardly see the outside scenery; everything was a blur.
“Damn it, hurry up and stop! I don’t want to go back yet!”
Although Tan Yun understood that the woman in the black dress meant well, he couldn't help but curse internally!
With no other choice, Tan Yun had to let the Spirit Vessel fly on.
Half a day later, Tan Yun estimated that the Spirit Vessel had flown about four hundred thousand miles when the speed finally began to slow.
Tan Yun hurriedly controlled the Spirit Vessel to turn around, heading back toward the eastern horizon.
At this moment, the ancient voice from half a day ago echoed in his mind, “Sister Tang, we have researched for three hundred years, yet we still failed to break the formation today. This place is fraught with danger; we are all injured. The sovereign has ordered us to return to the sect.”
Interruption of his thoughts made Tan Yun’s brows furrow in contemplation, muttering to himself, “Since they have researched for three hundred years and still failed to break the formation, it means this isn’t their first attempt.”
“The Fallen God Canyon has been under the control of Huangfu Sacred Sect for fifty thousand years, so the formation that these high-ranking members cannot break might not have been set by the Huangfu Sacred Sect.”
“If it wasn’t…” Tan Yun paused his words, and a gleam of insight flashed in his starry eyes. “If it wasn’t them, it must be the Gods, or perhaps set by divine dragons or demonic dragons!”
“Yes, it must be that way! Otherwise, the Fallen God Canyon, no matter how vast, is just a small part of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range. The past sect masters and high-ranking officials of Huangfu Sacred Sect have no reason to spend fifty thousand years without fully exploring the Fallen God Canyon!”
