The Ancient Sword’s brow furrowed momentarily before returning to calm.

However, his grip on the sword tightened.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but fill with doubt; she felt the atmosphere between these two senior brothers was somewhat peculiar.

Not just these two senior brothers!

Ever since Chu Xisheng mentioned speeding up to the ‘Divine Stone Pit,’ the atmosphere on the turtle’s back had been quite off.

Xiao Yi noticed that among all the people present, aside from her equally puzzled senior brothers, ‘Sky Flipping Sword’ Lei Bin and ‘Water Breaking Sword’ Cao Feng, everyone else, including Zhou Liangchen and the Beitian Sect’s Killing Jian Qin Ren, exhibited slightly abnormal expressions.

※※※※

The next afternoon, Chu Xisheng and others arrived at the ‘Divine Stone Pit’ as expected.

Little Xuanwu, driven by Zhou Liangchen, exerted itself remarkably and had progressed a bit in strength and the Cold Element Divine Skills. With a push of its hind legs, one slide carried it over a hundred yards.

Therefore, their speed was a bit faster than expected.

Chu Xisheng then stood before a cave entrance, looking out into the distance,

The so-called ‘Divine Stone Pit’ was a massive pit covering an area of over 56,000 acres.

It was encircled by mountains and sheer cliffs that shot straight into the Cloud Heaven, reaching up to over five hundred yards high and connecting with the blood-red sky.

Thus, one couldn’t enter the ‘Divine Stone Pit’ from the outside.

The sky in the third layer secret realm reached only up to five hundred yards; anything above that was forbidden territory.

According to the experiences of predecessors, any Sixth-grade Martial Cultivator who touched it would die instantly, and even Fifth-grade Martial Cultivators would be shredded into pieces by the power of Zhu Guangyin if they ventured one yard into it.

Only inside the Nine Curves Demon Intestine Cave are there nine cave passages that connect to the ‘Divine Stone Pit.’

The spot where Chu Xisheng stood was one of these nine cave passages. Exiting this cave mouth led to this massive pit.

The interior of the Divine Stone Pit was very spacious, with nothing but scattered rocks on the ground and no vegetation whatsoever.

In the center of the pit stood an enormous Sky-Reaching Stone Pillar.

This was the so-called ‘Divine Stone,’ the origin of the Divine Stone Pit.

The pillar, entirely green in color, resembled a sword thrusting into the sky, measuring over five hundred yards high.

The diameter of the pillar reached over a hundred yards, requiring at least several thousand people to encircle it. Its surface was rough and uneven, covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

The so-called ‘Stone Heart Blood’ flowed out from a section at the base of this giant stone.

Named blood, it was actually emerald green, resembling glue.

About every half day, a drop would emerge from that crack, accumulating in a small indention made of green stone in front of the pillar.

This indentation wasn’t large, only the size of a sea bowl.

From a distance of several miles, Chu Xisheng estimated that there were only about eighty drops of ‘Stone Heart Blood’ stored there.

There were nearly one hundred and fifteen days remaining.

In other words, the total amount of ‘Stone Heart Blood’ in the future would only be three hundred ten drops.

Next was the ‘Time Trace Grass.’

Almost no vegetation grew inside the Divine Stone Pit, except for some green grass near the edge of the massive pit.

These grasses looked like bamboo joint grass, but were larger in size.

Their stems had naturally formed patterns.

The distinctions of ‘Nine Curves,’ ‘Six Curves,’ and ‘Three Curves’ originated from these patterns.

There was only one Nine Curves Time Trace Grass, situated closest to the Sky-reaching Stone Pillar. It was about two feet high, swaying in the wind,

Each sway disturbing the surrounding Time Order.

Chu Xisheng found himself smelling an enticing fragrance and instinctively developed a thirst, a strong desire to devour it.

What was shocking was that this fragrance did not come from a scent, nor his sense of smell, but from his own consciousness.

The moment Chu Xisheng saw this Nine Curves Time Trace Grass, he instinctively thought the grass was fragrant and ‘smelled’ it.

This was clearly a power directly entering into his mind, twisting his cognition.

This Nine Curves Time Trace Grass seemed to be broadcasting a message to everyone, “I smell good, I taste good, eat me! Eat me!”

Apart from this Nine Curves Time Trace Grass, there were more than thirty Six Curves and over a hundred Three Curves within the giant pit. The quantity was quite substantial, enough for them and Jian Shifei’s group to divide among themselves comfortably.

However, obtaining these ‘Time Trace Grass’ and ‘Stone Heart Blood’ was not going to be easy.

Within the Divine Stone Pit, there lingered a giant of immense size,

this giant stood about fifty zhang tall, and was no less than those of noble lineage among the pure-blood Giant Spirits in the North.

However, its frame was extremely lean, resembling a bamboo pole.

But still, as a colossus fifty zhang high, its every move thundered and roared, each step causing the ground to tremble incessantly.

Surprisingly, half of its body was flesh and blood, but skeletal thin, with huge bones exposed. The other half appeared sturdy, plump with flesh but seemed to be made of wood, and its limbs and torso were covered with thick bark.

The giant’s features, too, were half as gaunt as a skeleton, and the other half had wooden textures.

Moreover, each step the giant took was very difficult, as if its limbs were shackled, trembling and slow in movement.

Chu Xisheng dared not underestimate this Evil Beast.

Countless predecessors from the Formless Divine Sect had suffered greatly at its hands.

The strength of this Evil Beast was as high as Third Grade, possessing the combat power of the Earthly List.

Theoretically, they could confront it face to face, even if just for a moment.

Fortunately, this giant had no intelligence nor reason.

The predecessors of the Formless Divine Sect had found several special methods to kill it, and they had never failed.

Chu Xisheng then looked around, searching for the traces of Jian Shifei and the others.

But even when he maximized his eyesight, he could not locate this group.

His eyebrows slightly raised, his lips curling with a hint of mockery, “These people are indeed well hidden.”

“They definitely came.”

Leng Chanra crossed his sword in front of his chest, narrowing his eyes, “They must have used some kind of Magic Artifact to hide their tracks.”

His Divine Thought too failed to find the exact location of these people.

Chu Xisheng decided not to waste energy on these individuals.

If they refused to show themselves, he would ignore them, but if they dared to appear, he would strike them down to avenge his sect members forced out of the third layer secret realm.

With absolute power, he did not need a complex strategy.

Chu Xisheng then turned his attention back to the ‘Divine Stone Pit,’ attempting to find the last key to the ‘Nine Heavens Time Wheel’ sword move.

The ‘Divine Stone Pit’ was the focal point of the entire third layer and the Nine Curves Demon Intestine Cave,

Chu Xisheng instinctively knew that it contained great secrets.

At this time, the experiences of those Formless Divine Sect predecessors were of no use to him.

What Chu Xisheng sought was not the same as his predecessors.

If he wanted to unravel this mystery and rescue the Wood Sword Immortal, to obtain this Supreme Immortal Fate, he needed to observe carefully, act cautiously and thoughtfully!

However, among those behind him, Zhoou Liangchen could barely contain himself.

Zhoou Liangchen’s eyes gradually reddened, his sword-gripping hand bulging with veins: “My lord!”

Chu Xisheng knew without looking what was the matter.

Zhoou Liangchen was tempted by the ‘Six Curves Time Trace Grass’ releasing signals.

Among all of them, Zhoou Liangchen had the weakest cultivation, and was most deeply affected.

Chu Xisheng immediately grabbed Zhoou Liangchen’s shoulder, helping to enhance his Primordial Spirit’s resistance, “There’s no rush; the Time Trace Grass isn’t going anywhere. Before I pick it, I need to take a good look first.”

Zhoou Liangchen’s reason instantly cleared.

He was shocked, then sat down cross-legged, employing the Cold Technique from Little Xuanwu to suppress his mind; meanwhile, he wielded his own Thunder Power to dispel the aberrant thoughts in his mind.

The others around also sensed something was off.

They each frowned and began to suppress the internal craving for the ‘Six Curves Time Trace Grass.’

Just at that moment, Chu Xisheng’s eyes subtly shifted.

He saw the half flesh, half wooden giant moving arduously towards a stalk of ‘Six Curves Time Trace Grass.’

It reached out, grabbed the Time Trace Grass, and then swallowed it along with the soil in one gulp.

Chu Xisheng and Leng Chanra watched the scene, both inevitably showing a trace of surprise in their eyes.

They clearly saw that soon after the giant swallowed the ‘Six Curves Time Trace Grass,’ its fleshly body seemed to have grown a bit more.

Parts of its skin surface, at one time bark, were transforming into normal skin.
