The Endless Sea Region churned and backwashed as if it wanted to rip apart and shatter the very heavens.
A faint blood-red aura perated the entire sea region. Su Yu, Xiao Changlin, and Nan Xiaogu erged from the depths of the void, arriving above this part of the sea.
Enveloped in the faint blood-red aura, the brows of all three figures lightly furrowed.
This blood-qi aura...
It seed sowhat similar to the aura of the forsaken Immortal disciples and the corrupted ferocious beasts.
Though it was not as rich or intense, it instinctively repelled their bodies, clearly indicating that the environnt of the Immortal Demon Sea, pervaded by the blood-red aura, was not suitable for the cultivation of the Human Clan.
Within this sea region lay an island, unremarkable in its appearance.
The island was not large, not even a thousand li in size.
There was no sign of any life force on the island, only plants with branches and leaves in light red hues.
Xiao Changlin glanced at the surroundings and, looking at the island, said, "It should be right here."
Ripples of spatial power emanated from around Su Yu.
Very soon,
he detected a trace of the Formation’s spatial node fluctuating tens of thousands of zhang beneath the island.
The Formation of this secret realm was not weak, at least at Rank Nine in strength.
However, as long as it wasn’t a specialized Spatial Dao Formation, it couldn’t block his Escape Skill.
Through the power of the Spatial Dao, Su Yu’s eyes pierced through heaven and earth, revealing a Sword Tomb secret realm where countless swords were buried. Initially, Su Yu thought that after so many years, even if Luo Qianyu were still alive, she must have suffered greatly.
But when he pierced through heaven and earth and observed the space within the Sword Tomb, he was slightly taken aback.
Because inside the Sword Tomb, the stone columns and iron chains he had once seen through Precognitive Sense were now all broken and fallen on the ground.
The pitiable figure once restrained by those chains was now sitting cross-legged on the ground,
her body enveloped in a faint blood-red aura, cultivating.
The Dharma Treasure skirt on her body had also turned a light blood-red hue.
Three thousand strands of hair cascaded behind her, rippling with her breath as she cultivated.
Compared to the Luo Qianyu that Su Yu rembered,
the figure now with red hair, wearing a pale-red dress akin to blood, harbored a hint of enchantnt and an indescribable allure.
The aura on Luo Qianyu’s body had also broken through from the early stages of the Dividing Spirit Realm to the peak of the Hollow Void Realm.
Although the aura on her seed strange, sowhat like the eerie power of forsaken Immortal disciples, a stronger sense of Sword Dao sharpness dominated her.
This Sword Dao power seed capable of slicing through anything, even as if it could tear apart space itself.
Compared to this Sword Dao aura, the eerie power akin to forsaken Immortal disciples seed sowhat insignificant.
Hum!
Suddenly,
The long-silent space of the Sword Tomb rippled, startling Luo Qianyu from her cultivation.
She opened her eyes, looking uncertainly at the space in front of her.
And when the figures of Su Yu, Xiao Changlin, and Nan Xiaogu appeared, a flash of surprise crossed Luo Qianyu’s eyes. Centuries of ti had allowed so of her mories to sink into dormancy.
Seeing Su Yu again now, or to say seeing people again, left Luo Qianyu sowhat unaccustod.
As she regained her bearings and slowly stood up from the ground,
Su Yu, sensing her aura, had a complex expression on his face and attempted to communicate, "Taoist Friend Luo?"
Luo Qianyu’s eyes held a trace of red light, her personality seed to have shifted slightly. She lifted the corners of her mouth, observing Su Yu for a long while before calmly saying, "I never thought that I would see Taoist Friend Su again, especially here."
Since Luo Qianyu’s departure from the Kun Ling Nest secret realm, it had been centuries since the two had last t.
And now, upon eting again, there was not the expected excitent or joyous scene.
Seeing that Luo Qianyu could still speak calmly, still communicate, and had not attacked them without any regard the mont they t, Su Yu inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully,
It seed that the situation was not as bad as it could have been.
Centuries had passed by, and the outside world had witnessed earth-shattering changes.
Su Yu had thought that there would be plenty to talk about when they t, but now that it was ti, he didn’t know where to begin.
There was a mont of silence.
Su Yu said, "This ti, I ca to take Taoist Friend Luo away from this place. Perhaps, the slight impure aura on you can be cleansed after all."
Luo Qianyu didn’t respond to his offer, instead, she asked with so curiosity, "Has Taoist Friend Su joined the True Martial Immortal Court? It seems that your fortunes have been quite good, to be able to co to this place."
With a light sigh, Su Yu recounted how soon after she had co to the True Martial Immortal Court, he had also arrived, as well as the changes in the Cultivation World and the vicissitudes of the Immortal Court.
"I was thinking that once my own cultivation had improved, I would find an opportunity to rescue Taoist Friend Luo."
"However, I never anticipated that the Cultivation World and the Immortal Court would go through such a series of upheavals."
"Now that I’m here again, Taoist Friend Luo has already freed herself from trouble."
Luo Qianyu had not expected that the two true disciples of the Immortal Court who had once attacked her would both fall at the hands of Su Yu, soone to avenge her.
And she had never imagined that the Cultivation World would have undergone such great changes.
Even more so, she didn’t anticipate the arrival of forces from the Immortal World, and even Immortals themselves!
However, when faced with Su Yu’s suggestion to leave this place with him and return to the True Martial Immortal Court, Luo Qianyu slowly shook her head and refused.
"I feel that I have my own Sword Dao to pursue, and this so-called impure power of the cast-away disciples doesn’t seem to be so dangerously unbearable."
"This power actually serves a great purpose for my Sword Dao."
"Perhaps, I should stay in the Immortal Demon Sea that you ntioned."
Upon hearing her decision, Su Yu’s expression subtly shifted, knowing the Immortal Demon Sea was now teeming with nurous cast-offs, rampant beasts; Luo Qianyu’s choice to remain in the Immortal Demon Sea...
Within this Sword Tomb, Su Yu and Luo Qianyu talked about many things, like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years.
Until the end, when Su Yu took Luo Qianyu out of the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, and watched as she delved into the Immortal Demon Sea, her figure disappearing from his field of vision.
Centuries of separation and hardships had clearly brought about many changes in Luo Qianyu.
Su Yu could palpably sense the shifts in Luo Qianyu’s state of mind.
Standing next to Su Yu, the First Elder Xiao Changlin and Nan Xiaogu remained silent throughout.
Not until Luo Qianyu had left did Nan Xiaogu speak up, unable to hold back, "Why not take her back? The impure aura on her can still be cleansed; it hasn’t completely corrupted her yet."
"If she really stays in this Immortal Demon Sea, it might not be the case later on."
"Moreover, the Immortal Demon Sea is now incredibly dangerous."
Su Yu gently shook his head.
He could see that Luo Qianyu’s Divine Soul, as well as the essence of her Sword Dao, had already integrated with the impure power of the cast-away disciples.
The fact that she could remain lucid and rational must be the result of her Sword Dao suppressing that power.
To forcibly intervene might be more of a curse than a blessing for Luo Qianyu.
Only if—
She could truly carve her own path with her Sword Dao.
If she managed to find her way, Luo Qianyu’s future could be one of smooth sailing, and the Immortal Demon Sea would be a place of fortune for her.
But, as Nan Xiaogu had pointed out, if Luo Qianyu faltered or encountered any threats in the Immortal Demon Sea and failed to survive...
Before Luo Qianyu left, Su Yu provided her with nurous resources, including Talismans.
Nevertheless, Luo Qianyu did not take any other cultivation resources except for so Space Talismans.
"It is her own choice."
Just as Luo Qianyu had once chosen to leave the Earth Immortal Mansion and pursue cultivation in the True Martial Immortal Court.
Each person has their own choices and paths to follow; they are not marionettes bound to predetermined trajectories.
Moreover, Su Yu once had an encounter within the ruins of the Imasurable Cicada Palace and witnessed the birth and evolution of this deadly region within the Cultivation World’s Immortal Demon Sea...
This place is anything but ordinary.
If one were to speculate about the possible origin or the foundational source of the Cultivation World...
Su Yu surmised that perhaps the Immortal Demon Sea was the most likely.
