Transcending the Nine Heavens

In the Calamity Space, Chu Yang called out.

The Nine Calamity Sword did not appear immediately.

A chill ran through Chu Yang’s heart: Could it be that it was truly detained? With the tribulation spirit's cultivation level being so formidable, it wouldn't be impossible to intercept the Nine Calamity Sword...

If that were the case, staying in this Nine Calamity Space might not be safe at all!

Was he really going to die here today?

Just then, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart; the Nine Calamity Sword had somehow returned to his dantian, lying there contentedly.

Chu Yang tried to summon it again, and the Nine Calamity Sword responded just as usual, without any signs of abnormality.

Could it be that the tribulation spirit hadn't noticed the Nine Calamity Sword?

Chu Yang was puzzled, unsure of what was going on. In a place he couldn’t see, at the center of the Nine Calamity Sword, a shadow slowly lay down: “Sigh, better to sleep... Let’s see how this kid struggles; hopefully, he never disturbs me again…”

The shadow vanished.

As for whether it had truly fallen into deep slumber, that remained unknown...

Get out! — This was what Chu Yang and the Sword Spirit wanted to do most. Although they knew there would be more and better treasures on this upper part of the mountain, and this was the very base of the Skywind Cloud Gate!

The true essence was all here.

But neither Chu Yang nor the Sword Spirit were foolish: With the tribulation spirit being so terrifying, how could they take the risk? Even in the Nine Calamity Space, they weren't guaranteed safety. The gains they had now were enough for Chu Yang to splurge on.

Chu Yang cautiously navigated the Nine Calamity Space, starting to float outside, fearful of revealing any flaw that might alert the tribulation spirit. However, without using his eyes, he had no sense of direction, and his spiritual perception could not penetrate the Nine Calamity Space.

With no other choice, Chu Yang carefully opened a crack in the Nine Calamity Space and took a peek outside.

At a glance, he was utterly astonished.

Outside was a clear sky, with not a hint of the tribulation spirit in sight... Where had it gone?

Could it have set a trap? Was it trying to lure him out?

That was very possible!

Chu Yang's heart was filled with doubts as he cautiously confirmed his direction, then fully closed the Nine Calamity Space again. He then proceeded to float blindly toward the crack from which he had come...

With the tribulation spirit's extraordinary cultivation level, and being a spirit entity, this was still its home ground. Any slight movement would escape its detection, and naturally, it had already discovered Chu Yang's trail.

At this moment, it transformed its body into emptiness, watching as Chu Yang cautiously maneuvered the Nine Calamity Space, sneaking out with extreme caution...

The expression in its eyes was infinitely complex: Ancestor, please leave quickly! Just don’t come back... If you come again, I will truly be no more. I was already driven to the brink of collapse just now...

Why be so cautious? Just run boldly in front of me, and I would pretend not to see you! In front of you, I am just a blind fool!

Ah! Could it be trying to bait me into action? And then let that plague god toy with me again? Help! Just thinking about it makes my heart race! Hurry and leave!

The tribulation spirit felt it would rather act itself to send Chu Yang away, but it didn’t dare—truly didn’t dare!

At this moment, Chu Yang's heart was trembling with fear: Don’t get discovered! Don’t let it catch up! Heaven help me, my luck has always been good; it can't be an exception this time! It absolutely won't be!

Now, both sides were in a state of nervous caution, fearing their own exposure. One was deliberately hiding, while the other was fleeing at a turtle's pace...

To be honest, the tribulation spirit was feeling much worse than Chu Yang right now... What if it was discovered, and the little ancestor was frightened? Would that one... come out again?
