Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Advancing to the Daoist King Realm

Lanqu County City, inside the Prince Manor!

Chief Manager Mu Liantian came rushing with a look of anxiousness to see Zhou Shangyun.

"Prince!" Mu Liantian spoke with urgency.

"Liantian, what’s wrong? What happened now?" Zhou Shangyun asked, frowning.

The news of Jing Yan’s death had already reached Lanqu County. During this time, Zhou Shangyun, Mu Liantian, and others were very upset, holding a deep anger towards the Gu Family who had pursued Jing Yan.

However, they were powerless; the Gai Family was not an enemy they could contend with, and though they wished to seek revenge for Jing Yan, it was a desire they were powerless to fulfill.

"Prince, please take a look at this!" Mu Liantian pulled out a palm-sized piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Shangyun.

"Hmm? Bai Xue’s handwriting!" Mu Liantian recognized the writing on the paper as that of his daughter Bai Xue. Clearly, the message had also come from Duyang City.

"This... this..."

"Damn it! How could Bai Xue possibly..." After Zhou Shangyun finished reading the message, he became extremely anxious.

The message’s contents were simple.

Bai Xue informed her father, who was Zhou Shangyun, the Prince of Lanqu County, that she no longer wished to serve as the City Lord of Duyang City, and asked him to appoint someone else.

That was the first part of the message; the second part was that Bai Xue intended to enter the Despair Abyss.

Although the message did not specify what Bai Xue would do in the Despair Abyss, both Zhou Shangyun and Mu Liantian were clear that Bai Xue’s sudden desire to enter the Despair Abyss was undoubtedly in search of Jing Yan’s whereabouts.

The question was, with Bai Xue’s strength and cultivation, entering the Despair Abyss, could she even come out alive?

Bai Xue was only a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist. Even in the Buffer Zone of the Despair Abyss, it would be incredibly dangerous! Merely encountering any human or member of the Divine Race could result in death.

"Prince, what should we do now?" Mu Liantian looked to Zhou Shangyun, "Shall I go to Duyang City immediately, see if it’s possible to stop Bai Xue from doing something foolish? The Despair Abyss is a Forbidden Land!"

"I shall go there myself!" Zhou Shangyun clenched his fist and declared resolutely.

Although Zhou Shangyun departed immediately, when he arrived at Duyang City, Bai Xue had already left several days prior. The chances of him stopping Bai Xue from entering the Despair Abyss were almost nonexistent. Even if they sought help from the Holy City, the hopes of finding her before she entered the Despair Abyss were slim.

"Jing Yan, I don’t believe you’ve died."

"You won’t die, you definitely won’t. You must be alive!"

"You must be hiding somewhere in the Despair Abyss, you must be. I will find you."

"If I don’t find you, I will avenge you. I will kill Gu Wanquan and his people, avenge you."

On the Heavenly Origin Continent, a lovely white figure wearing a mask on her face was quickly striding towards the north.

The Death Abyss, the Qiankun Small World.

The breakthrough from the Daoist Master Realm to the Daoist King Realm was exceedingly difficult. For the average Daoist Master Realm Martial Artist, it could even be the goal of a lifetime.

Daoist King Realm Martial Artists were scarce even within the Seven Great Families. Every one of them was a family elder.

However, Jing Yan’s breakthrough was fairly smooth.

With the aid of the Divine Crystal, Jing Yan’s transformation within the Fog Vortex encountered almost no resistance. A breakthrough across a major realm was almost no different from the promotion within smaller sub-realms.

If there were differences, it was perhaps just the time it took was slightly longer.

Because the energy of the Divine Crystal was difficult to absorb, by the time Jing Yan’s transformation within the Fog Vortex was completed, three months had already passed.

If absorbing the energy of the Divine Crystal could have been faster, then Jing Yan’s breakthrough could have been reduced by a considerable amount of time. However, Divine Crystals were extremely special, and under normal circumstances, even Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners found it difficult to absorb them, while Jing Yan was just at the Dao Spirit Realm in his cultivation. Had it not been for the "Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill," he wouldn’t have been able to absorb it at all.

Being able to absorb it was already quite an achievement.

"Dao King Realm!" Jing Yan felt the strength of his Primordial Energy within the abdomen’s Fog Vortex grow more robust and vigorous, as well as the increased robustness of his Divine Soul, and could not help but clench his fist tightly.

Elevating from the Daoist Master Realm Peak to becoming a Martial Artist of the Daoist King Realm, Jing Yan’s cultivation had undergone a complete transformation.

"Boom!" Jing Yan stimulated a surge of Primordial Energy and violently struck out towards the space in front of him.

A harsh sonic boom rapidly spread out. Accompanied by the sound, the space that was struck showed a series of spider web-like black cracks, with the energy vibrating violently and overflowing.

Just a subsequent palm strike made the space crack. This level of power was so strong that it took Jing Yan by surprise.

"If I were to battle Martial Artists of Elder Yin’s level now, I wouldn’t need to use any Formation at all to easily kill them," Jing Yan thought confidently, wondering whether his current strength could directly withstand the attacks from Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists.

"But for now, I’m still trapped inside the Death Abyss, unable to escape..." Jing Yan sighed with frustration.

With a thought, he separated a sliver of his Divine Soul and attempted to rapidly penetrate through the Qiankun Small World.

"Sh!"

There was no room for negotiation; the sliver of Jing Yan’s Divine Soul was completely annihilated.

"Damn it, what should I do? Am I trapped here forever?" Jing Yan frowned deeply.

The sliver of Divine Soul he’d separated was very small, and the loss was minor; without needing any Elixir, it would take no more than two or three days to recover. Jing Yan also didn’t dare to separate too much of his Divine Soul. The Divine Soul would be killed as soon as it left the Qiankun Small World. If too much was separated and the Divine Soul was seriously damaged, it would be very dangerous.

"Stay calm!"

"If I’m not mistaken, once we reach the bottom of the Death Abyss, there should no longer be any deathly aura. The space should stabilize as well," Tianshui’s voice came.

"The bottom?" Jing Yan looked towards Tianshui.

"Yes! We are currently inside the Qiankun Small World, and the Qiankun Small World falls downward on its own. Although the falling speed will be slower due to spatial influences, we will eventually reach the bottom of the Despair Abyss," Tianshui explained.

Jing Yan’s eyes lit up slightly.

Normally, the Qiankun Small World was hidden within his body. But since his physical body had entered the Qiankun Small World, the Small World would reveal itself, turning into a grain of sand or something similar.

However, Jing Yan was unable to control the Qiankun Small World now; his Divine Soul would be killed as soon as it left the Small World, so it had to fall by itself without any way to speed up the process.

"I just wonder how long it’ll take to reach the bottom of the Death Abyss," Jing Yan shook his head.

"It might take a very long time; the Death Abyss is extremely deep. Even when it is open and not particularly dangerous, Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists need several hours to descend from above. Getting back to the surface takes even longer," Tianshui shook his head and said.

Jing Yan sighed.

How fast could Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artists fly? Even so, it took them several hours to get from the top to the bottom; the Death Abyss was indeed very deep.
