After Chu Yang broke through at the Wind Thunder Heavenly Heart, he returned to the Nine Calamity Space!
The Sword Spirit was too busy to argue with Chu Yang; he was occupied planting herbs. The heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Chu Yang had gathered in the Middle Three Heavens were still piled inside.
The Sword Spirit planted them one by one into the medicinal field.
This time, the Sword Spirit was quite reluctant to work. The quality of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures collected from the Middle Three Heavens was far inferior to those from the Upper Three Heavens.
The Sword Spirit felt somewhat wronged.
But grievances aside, heavenly materials and earthly treasures were still heavenly materials and earthly treasures; although these herbs were of lower quality, they would still be useful for refining elixirs in the future.
The Nine Calamity Space was filled with purple mist, and the Spirit Spring water had turned into a light milky white.
“If we could convert this milky white back to its original clarity, it would be the Spring of Life,” the Sword Spirit said faintly.
“How long will that take?” Chu Yang asked.
“I don’t know,” the Sword Spirit shook his head, “I only know that the materials are still incomplete. The most important material currently missing is a Tree of Life! As for the others... even if they are still lacking, it won’t be by much. Some materials have even exceeded expectations!”
Chu Yang's eyes sparkled as he murmured, “Tree of Life? What does it look like?”
The Sword Spirit replied, “As far as I know, Young Master Wei must have seeds of the Elf Clan! This is the true inheritance of the Elf Clan. If Young Master Wei doesn’t have it, that would be the biggest oddity!”
“I see,” Chu Yang broke in, “It seems we need to open the Nine Heavens Passage sooner…”
He couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful, having just returned from the Middle Three Heavens; Young Master Wei had once inquired about the Spring of Life, and he had only said that once the passage opened, he would reveal the secret as long as Young Master Wei could come up.
He never expected that this crucial condition would be lacking.
Chu Yang sighed.
But there was nothing he could do; the Sword Spirit had been asleep during that time…
After spending so long in the passage, he should be going out.
Chu Yang settled his mind, contemplating what he might face once he went outside…
…
At this moment, chaos reigned outside.
The recent Nine Calamity phenomenon had lasted for a long time; it was the longest in history, and everyone was puzzled. However, this time’s celestial phenomenon only occurred in the Upper Three Heavens, and no one could perceive the exact location!
Everyone was in turmoil, searching.
But they were just busy without purpose.
In the northwest region, due to the recent avalanche and the collapse of the Wind Thunder Platform, many people had come during this time.
Li Donghai and others lay in ambush at the bottom of the cliff. These brief hours were incredibly torturous.
The sun emerged and was scorching. The snow on the cliff began to melt, cascading down in torrents.
As everyone knew, an ambush point is best kept hidden; to be hidden, you need cover. But in this icy world, what could serve as cover other than ice and snow…?
So everyone was concealed within the ice and snow.
But now, with the melting snow…
Li Donghai and others were practically drenched with ice water, and the sensation was…
Moreover, as more and more snow melted rapidly, it gradually formed small waterfalls; the torrents flowed down with an increasing intensity.
This space was originally small, and now there was even less room to hide.
Li Donghai sighed loudly, feeling incredibly unlucky.
Just as he was feeling gloomy, suddenly, the sound of wind rushed past. Someone pointed at the sky and exclaimed, “The dark clouds are coming again…”
Sure enough, in just a moment, the originally clear blue sky was covered by dark clouds, which grew thicker and thicker… and then the rain began to pour down.
