Chapter 1723 Another Strange Movement in the Demon Abyss
"This place is the core of the Enlightenment Cliff."
Jin Man walked to the boulder, turned to face the disciples, and said, “This place is refined by the radiance of the Zhou Tian stars, where the earth’s spiritual energy gathers, and is further aided by the Zhou Tian Star Array set up by the sect leader. It is of great benefit to comprehending cultivation techniques and breaking through bottlenecks. Normally, only inner disciples or those who have made meritorious contributions are allowed to enter. Today, I am making an exception and allowing you to come here, hoping that you will cherish this opportunity and not let down the sect’s expectations.”
"Thank you, Vice Sect Master!" The disciples bowed in unison, their faces filled with excitement.
Jin Man nodded slightly and sat cross-legged in front of the reclining ox stone: "Sit down, everyone. Today I will explain the essentials of the third to fifth levels of the 'Ten Thousand Rivers Qi Guiding Technique', as well as the key to transitioning from the Qi Guiding Technique to the basic chapter of the 'Ten Thousand Transformations Return to One Technique'."
The disciples quickly sat down cross-legged in a fan shape in front of her, holding their breath and concentrating.
Lin Yi sat on the left, his eyes lowered, seemingly focused, but in reality, he was listening to everything around him and observing everything.
He could sense that, besides Jin Man, there were at least three other subtle yet powerful auras lurking around on this Enlightenment Cliff.
Is it a spy from the Battle Hall? Or is it someone else entirely?
Jinman's explanation began.
Her voice was clear and melodious, and she explained things in simple terms, clearly dissecting the key points of breaking through several minor meridians and key acupoints, as well as the subtle changes in the circulation of spiritual energy, that were involved in the third level of the "Ten Thousand Rivers Qi Guiding Technique".
What's even more remarkable is that she didn't just recite from the book, but combined her own cultivation experience to point out many common misconceptions and how to deal with them.
"...At this point, the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin and the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin are initially connected, and the balance of water and fire in the body begins to be harmonized. At this time, it is important to note that the Kidney belongs to water, and the Pericardium belongs to fire. Water can control fire, but it can also quench fire. When circulating the Qi throughout the body, one should keep in mind the rising of water and the descending of fire, and the interaction of Kan and Li. This should not be forced, but should happen naturally..."
Lin Yi listened and couldn't help but nod in agreement.
This explanation is indeed insightful and gets straight to the point.
Even he felt he had gained something.
The Wan Chuan Sect's lineage is indeed unique...
The moment the thought popped into Lin Yi's head, his heart skipped a beat.
He actually thinks it has something unique about it? What's with this feeling of...unease that I'm about to betray my sect?
Just as Jinman's explanation was reaching its most exquisite point, a deep, thunderous roar suddenly came from the distant horizon!
Boom——! ! !
A chilling sense of oppression suddenly descended, as if some colossal creature was awakening deep within the earth.
Immediately afterwards, a cold, violent, and ominous aura, like an invisible tide, began to spread across the Black Wind Mountains!
Even from hundreds of miles away, the people on the Enlightenment Cliff could clearly feel the chaos and malice contained in that aura.
"Demon energy?!"
Jin Man's expression changed drastically. She stood up abruptly, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light as she looked towards the Black Wind Mountains.
The twenty disciples also stood up, their faces filled with alarm.
Most of them had shallow cultivation levels, and had never felt such intense demonic pressure before.
Several of the weaker ones had already turned pale and were trembling slightly.
Lin Yi also stood up and mingled in the crowd, his brows furrowed.
This demonic energy... is too strong!
And it seems to be gushing out from deep underground?
Could it be that something unusual has happened in the Demon Abyss?!
"Listen up, everyone!" Jin Man suddenly spoke, instantly quelling the unease among the crowd. "Stay on Enlightenment Cliff and do not leave! The formation here is sufficient to isolate you from demonic energy. Cultivate on your own and consolidate what you have learned today!"
Her gaze swept over the crowd, lingering for a moment on Lin Yi's face, but before she could probe further, she transformed into a streak of purple light and shot towards the Hanging Palace!
There are priorities.
If something has really happened in the Demon Abyss, it will be a major event that endangers the entire Spirit Realm, far more important than testing a suspicious disciple!
After Jin Man left, Wudao Cliff fell into silence for a while.
The disciples looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
Wang Tuo swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother Lin... what was that just now...?"
Lin Yi took a deep breath to calm himself and said in a deep voice, "It should be demonic energy. Moreover, the source is extremely strong, I'm afraid... it's no small matter."
Yan Lie clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, a mixture of tension and inexplicable excitement in his voice: "Demonic energy? Is the demon race about to attack?"
Liu Shuang glanced at him coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. The vice sect leader told us to stay here and cultivate, so just stay put."
Even so, her grip on the knife tightened slightly, clearly indicating that she was not at peace.
Lin Yi said no more, sat down cross-legged again, seemingly closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, but in reality his mind was racing.
The Demon Abyss is in turmoil... If it's true, then the Spirit Realm is likely to be thrown into chaos.
……
The place to observe the heavens.
Mingchuan stood with his hands behind his back, his silver robe fluttering even without wind, his deep gaze fixed on the image in the mirror.
The scene reflected on the mirror was not the interior of the Wanchuan Sect, but rather a terrifying vision of darkness, depth, and churning demonic energy.
It is the Demon Abyss deep within the Black Wind Mountains!
At this moment, the entrance to the Demon Abyss, which was originally suppressed by layers of formations and seals, is now trembling violently!
Grotesque cracks spread across the ancient sealing runes, and dense, almost tangible black demonic energy gushed out from the cracks like a fountain, crashing against the remaining seal and creating a deafening roar!
At the edge of the mirror, a silver band of light, representing spatial stability, flickers wildly, indicating that the spatial structure here is undergoing a severe impact.
"The seal is loosening faster than expected."
Mingchuan's voice was calm, but tinged with a hint of gravity. "The Demon Abyss has been quiet for so long, how could there suddenly be another accident? Could it be that Su Hongzhen was dissatisfied and secretly sabotaged things?"
"Could he be planning to drag the entire Spirit Realm down with his Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect and bring it to ruin?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple streak of light swept into the hall, transforming into Jin Man's anxious figure.
"Mingchuan! You sensed it too? It's the Demon Abyss?!" Jinman strode to the Mirror of Heaven, and upon seeing the scene reflected in it, her pretty face turned pale. "How could this be... how could the seal suddenly loosen so much?!"
Mingchuan shook his head slightly: "I don't know."
Looking at the churning demonic energy in the mirror and the increasing cracks on the seal, Jinman said urgently, "We must reinforce the seal immediately! Otherwise, once the demonic energy fully erupts, erodes the earth's veins, and spreads, the area within a thousand miles of the Black Wind Mountains will be turned into demonic soil! It may even affect more distant areas!"
Mingchuan was well aware of this.
He had originally planned to seal it with a space stone and transfer it to the void, so that even if the Demon Abyss "exploded," it wouldn't affect the others in the Spirit Realm.
But now that he possesses the power of spatial laws, he no longer needs to use spatial stones.
Otherwise, why not take the lead himself?
Upon realizing this, Mingchuan immediately told Jinman what was on his mind.
To everyone's surprise, Jinman frowned and refused outright.
"No! You absolutely cannot take that risk!"
Jinman bit her lip. "You're not alone anymore, you're the head of a sect. How can you take such a risk?"
