Within the pine forest, a grand cemetery stood out prominently.
Zhen Ji approached the cemetery, gently bending down, her beautiful eyes filled with a deep emotion.
Zhen Ji approached the graveyard, gently lowered herself, and her beautiful eyes were filled with deep longing. “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I will definitely avenge you.”
“One day, I will take Ouyang Duantian's head to honor your spirits.”
“And you don’t need to worry about me; I will live strong and courageously.”
“I love you both... very, very much.”
As she spoke, Zhen Ji’s face showed tears as she knelt before the tombstone.
For the next hour, Zhen Ji kept talking to her adoptive parents...
Xianxian stood behind Zhen Ji, looking at the tombstone, silently thinking, “Uncle and Aunt, please believe that it was not my father who harmed you.”
“I will definitely find the real culprit and bring you justice.”
After a long time, Zhen Ji stood up and looked at Tan Yun, asking, “Brother, what are your plans next? Should we go into seclusion?”
“You can go into seclusion next, but I can’t yet,” Tan Yun said solemnly. “My flames are my trump card, but lacking the ice and fire attributes of fire seeds means my flames are currently too weak; they’re practically useless.”
“I need to find some fire seeds before entering seclusion.”
“I’ve previously visited the shops in Skyreach Immortal City, but the quality of fire seeds there is too low.”
“I wonder if there are any fire seeds for sale in Xiahou Immortal City’s market.”
Hearing this, Zhen Ji seemed to think of something and said, “Brother, we can first visit a shop. If they don’t have the fire seeds you need, we can think of something else.”
At this moment, Xianxian said, “There’s no need to check the shops; they definitely won’t have anything good. I am a saint level sub-divine artifact master, and I’ve visited all the shops selling fire seeds in the top ten cities of the nine heavens immortal realm.”
“How about this? We go directly to the Ten City Alliance Headquarters; we should be able to find out about fire seeds there.”
“The Ten City Alliance Headquarters?” Tan Yun frowned, having never heard of it before.
“Exactly!” Xianxian explained, “The Ten City Alliance Headquarters is an organization directly under the nine heavens immortal emperor.”
“This headquarters knows almost all the locations of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but to obtain information, you must provide enough Immortal Stones.”
“There are countless cities in the nine heavens immortal realm, and in each city, there is a Ten City Alliance Headquarters.”
“In short, this headquarters primarily profits from selling information.”
“In addition to selling information, they also control the entrances to the two great Forbidden Areas in the nine heavens immortal realm.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded and asked in confusion, “What are the two Forbidden Areas?”
“The first is the Soul-Eating Abyss, and the second is the Ancient Divine Tomb.”
“These two Forbidden Areas were naturally formed thirty thousand years ago and did not exist before.”
Everyone became curious after hearing this.
Tan Yun frowned and asked, “What is so special about the Soul-Eating Abyss and the Ancient Divine Tomb that they are called Forbidden Areas?”
Xianxian explained, “The Soul-Eating Abyss is called so because when immortals enter, there’s a force that devours their Celestial Power and their souls from their mind.”
“If a divine being enters, it will similarly devour the divine being’s Divine Power and soul.”
At this point, Xianxian seemed to think of something, her little face turning pale, and her eyes filled with fear. “What’s even more terrifying is that the entrance to the Soul-Eating Abyss looks like a pair of gigantic eyes embedded in the ground!”
“I once went there, and my destiny true fire was found in the Soul-Eating Abyss.”
