Regaining consciousness once more, Su Li’s soul was in agony, trembling as if tiny knives were scraping across it relentlessly.
Her limbs twitched involuntarily, stirring up a clamor of clashing tal sounds.
In her spirit platform, the stone bead floated automatically. The chant of her followers in the world within her palm transford into golden symbols, quickly imrsing into Su Li’s body, gradually dispelling the pain from her soul. Only then did Su Li slowly open her eyes.
Beside her ears was the howling wind, cutting like blades against her body, revealing glimpses of bone.
The original owner’s body was already covered with dense scars, and her limbs and hands were locked with iron chains as thick as an adult man’s arm.
The chains were covered in various talismans. As soon as Su Li made any movent, the talismans would imdiately activate, binding her limbs tighter, leaving her with no hope of escape.
This was the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff, eighteen levels deep, each level more treacherous than the last. The very bottom was void-like, desolate, never seeing daylight, and filled with perpetual small hurricanes.
No one knew how these hurricanes ford or where they ca from. All that was known was that they suddenly appeared one day.
More importantly, the wind blades here could harm not only the body but also the soul.
For cultivators, physical injuries were easier to heal, but when it involved the soul, they were helpless.
Anyone injured by the wind blades at the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff would, at best, see a significant reduction in their cultivation; at worst, their soul would be dispersed by the wind.
Because of this severity, the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff, with its eighteen levels, beca the Bewonder Sheep Sect’s forbidden place for imprisoning inmates guilty of heinous cris.
Injury to both body and soul continued, yet because of the faster healing speed, the injuries on Su Li’s body, floating in the void, seed to gradually return to normal.
Su Li raised her wrist, placing it in front of her eyes. This place sowhat resembled her chaotic space, black, hopeless, and chillingly eerie.
As she moved her wrist, the four iron chains suddenly lit up with a golden light, illuminating the dark cliff bottom with a dazzling brilliance.
Taking advantage of the golden light, Su Li leisurely examined her surroundings.
Aside from the small hurricanes, nothing else existed.
It was as if only her existence remained in this world, with only the sound of her own heartbeat audible.
In such an environnt, lacking great perseverance, one would not endure long enough to be completely crushed by the small hurricanes before opting for self-annihilation.
The oppressive environnt was enough to drive any weak-minded person mad.
Noticing the burning pain of the iron chains on her wrists, as if soone was branding her with red-hot pincers.
Su Li squinted her eyes, seemingly unfazed by this aura of destruction, and forcefully tugged her hands outward.
This action seed to anger the artifact spirits within the chains.
The four chains rattled fiercely, and from the darkness extended another four chains, transforming into four iron whips, searing with golden heat as they whipped toward Su Li.
Without changing her expression, Su Li nonchalantly grasped the incoming iron whip as if seizing a snake by its neck.
Then, she slowly crushed it to powder.
The remaining three iron whips seed to recognize the prowess of the person before them and timidly attempted to retreat.
But how could Su Li let them have their way, forcefully shattering the iron chains on her limbs, and with a wave of her hand, the retreating iron whips were drawn toward Su Li as if seized by an invisible force.
At this mont, the entire cliff bottom exploded with golden light, and a golden light spot abruptly appeared, its sharp voice echoing throughout the cliff bottom.
"You, you cannot do this, I am the guardian artifact spirit of the Beast Taming Sect... if you are willing to spare , I will plead with Xuanyazi on your behalf to release you early."
Su Li gently parted her red lips, speaking softly with indifference, "Killing you won’t prevent my escape."
The artifact spirit’s shrill cries resonated through the air but failed to reach even the hem of Su Li’s garnt, "Aren’t you afraid of the Beast Taming Sect pursuing you relentlessly?"
Su Li lowered her head, glancing at her skin that was continually healing only to break again, saying slowly, "Hasn’t it already beco a relentless pursuit?"
The artifact spirit, noticing Su Li’s miserable state, fell silent for a mont.
"Are you intending to betray the sect?"
Su Li tilted her head, puzzled, "Haven’t I already betrayed the sect?"
"Do you forget, I was thrown into the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff on charges of colluding with the Demon Sect."
"You...." The artifact spirit feigned a move, then shot skyward.
"Little thing, trying to escape?" With a slight tap of her toes, Su Li went from a floating state to standing midair, gazing at the little gold ball about to vanish into the sky, murmuring, "I really hate things hovering above ."
Unable to imdiately eradicate the destructive aura invading her body, Su Li felt her patience wearing thin.
She extended her hand, leisurely grasping toward the sky.
The sharp sound grew louder, as the little gold ball was pulled from the sky.
Su Li: "Little thing, quite hot to the touch, isn’t it?"
"Let go of , let go of , you are not Su Li, you can’t possibly be Su Li.... she definitely doesn’t have such capabilities."
If she truly had such capabilities, she wouldn’t have been imprisoned at the cliff bottom for fifty years.
"I beg you to spare , I’ll speak with Xuanyazi on your behalf, you are innocent, you did not collude with the Demon Sect...."
"Are all mbers of the Beast Taming Sect as discerning as you?"
"What a... disappointnt you are...."
Before the artifact spirit could scream again, Su Li smiled gently and applied a little force, the artifact spirit crumbled into points of golden light in her grasp, then was absorbed by her body.
Her body’s healing ability quickly increased by a few degrees.
At the mont Su Li crushed the artifact spirit, Xuanyazi, who was in seclusion in his own cave within the Beast Sect, suddenly opened his eyes and abruptly stood up from his ditation mat.
He seed to sense sothing, but when he closed his eyes and calculated with his fingers, he found nothing, though a fleeting sense of unease had just passed through his heart.
Having cultivated to such a degree, he never experienced inexplicable sensations, which he believed was a celestial warning.
Unfortunately, as the Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect, he specialized in beast taming and cultivation, with little expertise in divine calculations.
The feeling of unease grew stronger, accompanied by a looming sense of impending catastrophe.
A jade talisman appeared before him, Xuanyazi pointed with his index finger and commanded in a low voice, "Go"
Before the spiritual ripples of the jade talisman completely dissipated, he received a black-purple letter from the Divine Calculation Sect.
Instantly, Xuanyazi’s mind was shaken, his expression becoming unprecedentedly grave and heavy.
The black-purple letter from the Divine Calculation Sect had only appeared twice in ten thousand years.
The first ti was when gods and demons withdrew, throwing the world into chaos.
The second was when the Heavenly Ladder was severed, making ascension hopeless.
The third ti was now.....
Each ti the black-purple letter from the Divine Calculation Sect appeared, it heralded events that could shake the entire Cultivation World.
Could it be that his earlier unease was in response to this matter?
