“Brother Fang, what do you think we should do now? We’ve searched for so long, but our efforts have been in vain,” one of the eighth-class earth deities sighed deeply.
“Indeed, this is becoming increasingly frustrating. If we can’t find Tan Yun, our mission will be deemed a failure,” another added, his expression grave.
Director Fang frowned, contemplating their next move. “We must not give up hope. Perhaps we need to change our approach. We should gather more information on where Tan Yun was last seen and seek the help of other powerful beings in the Divine Realm.”
The others nodded in agreement, their determination slowly reigniting. They had come too far to turn back now.
“Let’s regroup and strategize. We need to spread out and cover more ground,” Director Fang commanded, his voice steady.
As the thirty eighth-class earth deities prepared to set out again, they couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss. The search for Tan Yun had become an obsession, and they were willing to go to any lengths to succeed.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the depths of the Gods' Abyss, Tan Yun was unaware of the turmoil he had caused. Engulfed in his own challenges, he was focused on surviving the chaotic environment around him.
For Tan Yun, each day was a battle against the odds, and the weight of the eternal cycle of reincarnation was heavy on his shoulders. He had to find a way to break free from this chaotic realm and reclaim his destiny.
As the search continued, the stakes grew higher, and the path ahead remained fraught with danger. The determination of the gods would soon clash with Tan Yun’s unwavering spirit, leading to an inevitable confrontation that would shape their fates.
Director Fang shook his head. "I don’t know. Just yesterday, I communicated with the Eldest Young Master through the sound transmission talisman, and that kid hadn’t left the Gods' Abyss yet."
At that moment, Director Fang seemed to think of something. "In the Gods' Abyss, we still have the Water Curtain Divine Cave that we haven't searched. Could it be that kid is inside the waterfall?"
Upon hearing "Water Curtain Divine Cave," the other twenty-nine elders shivered involuntarily, their hearts trembling!
One elder said, "No way? It is said that the Water Curtain Divine Cave is a resting place frequently visited by the divine beast kunpeng. How could that kid dare go there?"
"I heard that a thousand years ago, this kunpeng was already a sixth-class celestial divine beast!"
"And this giant bird is known for its ferocity, with a flying speed comparable to a seventh-class half-saint. If you ask me, we should avoid it; if we run into the kunpeng, it’s just death for us."
Hearing this, Director Fang disapprovingly said, "What are you afraid of? That golden-winged kunpeng arrives and departs without a trace; who knows how long it’s been since it went to the Water Curtain Divine Cave? What harm is there in us going to take a look from a distance?"
"Besides, is our luck so bad that we'll happen to run into it?"
As soon as Director Fang finished speaking, suddenly, his old body trembled, and his eyes lit up in excitement. "I sense the barrier of a ninth-class earth deity!"
"That's great! That's great! I must go into seclusion immediately. Once I step into the ninth-class earth deity realm, we will go together to the Water Curtain Divine Cave!"
After that, Director Fang produced the mustard seed hall of time and space and entered into cultivation...
At the same time.
In the Supreme Divine King City, at the Zhan Mansion.
The mansion occupied an area of a thousand miles and its grandeur was truly overwhelming.
In the Reception Hall.
Inside the grand hall, two elder gentlemen in their sixties were sitting facing each other, drinking wine as they discussed something.
One of the elders, who was somewhat plump, was the second-grade divine king: Zhan Peng!
Behind him stood a youthful figure, Zhan Zusheng, who was tall and handsome.
The other elder, who looked thin and somewhat frail, was the supreme divine king Bai Qi, now having reached the eighth-class divine king!
