"Fine, let's go take a look."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then nodded.
If he truly encountered Deity-level energy, laws, or inheritance, it would indeed be a rare opportunity.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei swept up the seven True Immortals, directly activated a Space Teleportation Token, and instantly teleported to the location where the divine radiance had just appeared.
"That was too fast!"
The seven True Immortals, sensing Ye Yunfei's astonishing speed, were startled.
"Thankfully, I didn't try to run earlier. With his terrifying speed, he would have caught up and killed me long ago," some of them couldn't help but think.
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power energy to sense the area, attempting to track the direction the divine radiance had gone.
However, after sensing for a moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly moved, rushing in a certain direction.
Ahead was a gray, misty space, a world that made it almost impossible to distinguish direction.
In truth, Ye Yunfei hadn't captured the aura of the divine radiance; he was acting on a kind of intuition, feeling that the divine radiance had likely retreated in this direction.
His sleeves wrapped around the seven True Immortals, Ye Yunfei cleaved through the gray fog ahead, surging forward.
"Young Hero, be careful! Watch what's ahead and don't just charge recklessly. The Colorless Abyss has many dangerous places. Once you enter one, it's certain death!"
The seven True Immortals, feeling Ye Yunfei's astonishing speed of advance, each turned pale with fright. They were used to treading cautiously in the Colorless Abyss; how would they dare charge around wildly like Ye Yunfei was doing?
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion," Ye Yunfei said.
His Soul Power had been constantly sensing the environment ahead. Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm were also keeping a vigilant watch on the surroundings. Ye Yunfei believed that if any danger arose, he would be able to detect it immediately.
"Watch out!"
Just as Ye Yunfei was rapidly advancing, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly shouted.
Boom rumble rumble…
At the same moment, a powerful teleportation energy instantly descended, enveloping Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei was greatly alarmed, activating his movement technique to retreat, but it was already too late. The teleportation energy was too terrifying; it made Ye Yunfei feel as if time and space were spinning rapidly, whisking him away from his original position to who-knows-where.
"Not good, Young Hero! We might have stumbled into a danger zone!"
The seven True Immortals felt waves of chilling dread rising within their hearts.
Having long lived in this Colorless Abyss, they deeply understood the strangeness and peril of this patch of space-time. In the past, many of their companions had vanished without a trace after accidentally stumbling into danger zones.
"What's going on here? Didn't they say the Colorless Abyss has no energy or laws?" Ye Yunfei exclaimed.
"Young Hero, it's true that the space within the Colorless Abyss itself has no energy or laws, but there are many terrifying restrictions and Formations left behind by ancient peoples. These restrictions and Formations were set up using the ancient peoples' own personal energy; they don't belong to this world of the Colorless Abyss. It's like... you yourself could also set up restrictions and Formations within this world. As long as your strength is sufficient, the restrictions and Formations you set up can endure for a long time," one of the True Immortals explained.
"There's also another saying: The Colorless Abyss contains many restrictions left by ancient Deities. For ordinary living beings, these Deity-level restrictions are almost lethal upon contact! Let's hope we can emerge unscathed!" another True Immortal said with a trembling voice.
Just at that moment, the teleportation stopped. Ye Yunfei found himself standing on a vast expanse of desolate land.
This land was everywhere crisscrossed with thick ground fissures, forming bottomless chasms tens of thousands of feet deep. Not just on the ground, but high in the sky as well, black spatial cracks dotted the expanse, crawling into the distance like a spiderweb.
There were also large amounts of spatial turbulence flowing everywhere like gusts of hurricane winds. These spatial turbulences were formed when vast swathes of space-time were destroyed, and the remaining space-time dust gathered together.
"Young Hero, it seems this is another shattered world. You were traveling too fast earlier and stumbled into it. We should quickly find a way to leave this place," one of the seven True Immortals, whom Ye Yunfei had now released, cautiously trailing behind him.
"This is a piece of ancient land, its history and age undoubtedly frightfully long. Look, over there lies the ruins of a city, all originally built from massive stone blocks, now slowly weathering away, the entire city gradually turning to dust. Don't underestimate those stone blocks used to build the city walls. They seem to be the legendary Primordial Chaos Stone. There was a period in ancient times when using this kind of stone for walls was popular. This ancient stone was said to be eternally incorruptible, yet now it's slowly weathering away. One can imagine just how long this piece of land has endured!" Hun Lao said with a grave expression.
Ye Yunfei looked in the direction Hun Lao pointed. Sure enough, he saw an ancient city slowly turning to dust, and couldn't help but feel inwardly shocked.
"Huh? Over there... it looks like a mountain gate, like the entrance of some sect!"
A moment later, Ye Yunfei arrived before a stretch of bare, desolate mountain ranges and saw a mountain gate in the distance. His heart stirred.
Ye Yunfei moved, arriving before that mountain gate.
"Young Hero, we don't know if this continent is dangerous. We'd better leave soon," the seven True Immortals closely followed step-by-step behind Ye Yunfei, not daring to wander at all, while cautiously urging Ye Yunfei to depart quickly.
"In ancient times, this should have been the headquarters of a major sect," Ye Yunfei mused aloud after surveying the desolate mountain ranges before him and the mountain gate.
Proficient in Geomancy Technique, Ye Yunfei could tell at a glance that this stretch of mountains was certainly a place where terrestrial energy converged, a land of spiritual excellence suitable for heroes, and a fine location to establish a sect in ancient times.
"The headquarters of an ancient major sect... Let's go in and take a look."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei raised his foot and strode through the mountain gate.
The seven True Immortals had no choice but to cautiously follow behind Ye Yunfei.
Boom rumble rumble…
After passing through the mountain gate with the seven True Immortals, Ye Yunfei saw clusters of collapsed buildings, numerous cultivation caves, martial training squares, and more. All the buildings were imposing and grand in scale, and their layout was profound, with each part responding to the others, faintly forming an overarching, unified scheme.
"What a profound layout! In this major sect's headquarters, each building seems to subtly align with the intricacies of Geomancy Technique's geographical arrangement, while also perfectly conforming to the subtleties of Formations. Not one building could be added, nor one removed. Truly marvelous!"
Although all the structures before his eyes were dilapidated, in Ye Yunfei's view, they held endless profundity. For a moment, he was so captivated he seemed stunned, and couldn't help but praise.
"What's going on?"
The seven True Immortals behind him were somewhat bewildered.
Boom!
At that moment, Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly changed drastically. He discovered an invisible, rolling murderous aura surging towards them, seemingly intent on destroying him and the seven True Immortals.
Boom rumble rumble…
The next instant, the surrounding space began to stir violently.
"Be careful!" Ye Yunfei shouted.
With his left sleeve, he swept up the seven True Immortals. With his right hand, he tossed out a large handful of Formation Flags, instantly setting up over a hundred formations around them as barriers.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The Formations Ye Yunfei had set up were pierced through like bubbles one after another by that terrifying murderous aura.
Boom rumble rumble…
The mighty, overwhelming murderous aura grew increasingly terrifying, rolling in from all directions.
"It seems you've triggered an ancient restriction! Get out fast!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm yelled.
Then the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm materialized, grabbed Ye Yunfei, and transformed into a golden beam, streaking outward.
Apart from spatial talents, strength was also an innate gift of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race, but he seldom displayed it.
Boom rumble rumble…
The terrifying murderous aura pressed in from all directions, attempting to stop the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm from leaving.
Boom! Boom!
Ye Yunfei threw out another large handful of Formation Flags, deploying over a hundred Formations that blocked the advancing murderous aura.
The next moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm successfully shot out of the ancient sect's headquarters, arriving outside the mountain gate.
When he looked back, the space within the mountain gate was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened at all.
"That was close! We almost died inside!"
The seven True Immortals were frightened out of their wits, their legs going weak, nearly unable to stand.
"Huh? That human youngster seems to have decent Formation skill."
At that moment, on a certain bare peak within that sect's headquarters, a withered mountain vine lay coiled—seemingly desiccated, all its leaves fallen, apparently devoid of any vitality. But now, it suddenly stirred slightly, letting out a sound of surprise.
"Perhaps this kid can help me extend my lifespan for a bit longer. Ah well, being able to live a little longer counts for something," the withered vine uttered.
Before the mountain gate, Ye Yunfei assessed the lay of the land, the layout, and the buildings inside, continuously praising.
In Ye Yunfei's eyes, this seemingly decrepit, abandoned sect headquarters held boundless profundity, seemingly containing deep mysteries of Geomancy Technique and Formation arrangements.
He really wanted to charge back in and carefully study it, but thinking of the terrifying murderous aura from earlier, he ultimately decided against it.
Yet, just as Ye Yunfei was about to leave…
"Young man, come inside. Let's talk."
Ye Yunfei suddenly received a faint Sound Transmission.
