Chapter 2218: Entering the Deep Pit Again

The disk hummed for a moment, then its light dimmed.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

According to speculation, this sacrificial method should be able to communicate with the altar of Du Qingyuan and others, but... for some reason, there was no connection, not even the slightest response.

If so, how did Luo Ruoxi communicate with them?

"It's hard to succeed here, separated by the divine realm's boundary. Would that twisted space be better?" The little yellow chicken, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

It knew much about the matters of the heavens and understood Zhang Xuan's goal.

"Twisted space?" Zhang Xuan was startled.

Right!

If the previous guesses were all true, the deep pit beneath the Spirit Source Imperial City should be able to connect to the heavens!

There might still be a boundary barrier, but compared to here, it would certainly be much thinner...

Perhaps this was exactly why Luo Ruoxi had successfully entered the heavens and returned to the Master Teacher Continent.

"Let's go take a look!" Zhang Xuan said.

The little yellow chicken nodded and spat out the statue it had swallowed earlier.

The will of the Undying Emperor once again entered the statue.

After all this trouble, it had become very weak and seemed unable to hold on much longer.

The emperor's will had acknowledged Zhang Xuan as its master, and the reborn little yellow chicken had also done so. Huo Yu and the others dared not say more and respectfully saw Zhang Xuan off.

Flying all the way, just as he was about to enter the deep pit beneath the Spirit Source Imperial City, he saw Luo Qiqi following him.

"Take me with you..." The girl's eyes were filled with longing.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

If he could truly enter the heavens, he could return to the Master Teacher Continent and let her go back to see Luo Xuanqing and her family. That would fulfill his promise without breaking his word.

The two of them and the chicken quickly descended along the passage on the deep pit's rock wall. After walking for most of an hour, the twisted space from before appeared before them again.

"I'll go down first..."

With experience from before, the little yellow chicken leaped into it.

"I'll try too!"

With a light laugh, Luo Qiqi followed closely.

Before she even entered the twisted space, the space around her began to twist as well, perfectly merging with what lay ahead. The two made contact, and she entered easily, also suffering no harm.

As the artifact spirit of the Space Stabilizing Pearl, she was naturally more sensitive to spatial forces. Coupled with her cultivation at the peak of the Divine King realm, this was not difficult for her.

"Only I'm left..."

Seeing the yellow chicken and Qiqi both enter easily, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath.

Last time he came with Feng Jiuge, his soul was only at the upper-grade Heavenly God level. Now he had reached the peak of the Divine King realm, and he also held the Grand Emperor Seal of the Spirit Source Heaven...

There shouldn't be too much danger!

A powerful soul force formed a huge barrier around his body. Then, holding the Grand Emperor Seal, he leaped into it.

Hum!

As soon as his body touched the twisted space, he felt as if he had turned into a noodle, becoming twisted.

Though he stood straight, he could easily see his own heels, as if he had entered a funhouse mirror, his body no longer under his control.

"Twisted space is actually not much different from ordinary space. Don't trust your eyes..." Luo Qiqi came up to him.

"Don't trust my eyes?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

"What your eyes see is judged by normal space. Here, space is twisted, so you must observe the world in a twisted way..." Luo Qiqi explained the peculiarities of this space in detail.

As the Space Stabilizing Pearl, she understood space very quickly. Having just entered, she had already discovered its secrets.

Following her method, after a while, Zhang Xuan indeed felt the scene before him return to normal.

"The twists and fluctuations in this space are not uniform; some are strong, some weak. Even a titled Divine King entering here cannot advance too deep..." Seeing him adapt, Luo Qiqi pointed ahead.

Following her finger, Zhang Xuan indeed saw the world before him twist again, some parts wide, some narrow, extremely irregular.

Moreover, this space was constantly flowing. What he saw now was completely different from what he would see a few breaths later.

Such spatial changes could be dangerous even for a titled Divine King.

Not that titled Divine Kings were weak, but the spatial laws here were completely different from those in the divine realm. Titled power could no longer be used. No matter how strong one was, they could only exert strength at the Divine King level, no more powerful than Zhang Xuan or Luo Qiqi.

The two and the chicken walked forward for an hour and then stopped.

To adapt to the spatial twists, in an hour they had advanced less than five hundred meters!

The twisted space before them was immeasurably deep—hundreds of thousands, even millions of kilometers. At less than five hundred meters per hour, how long would it take to reach the end?

Probably by the time Luo Ruoxi and Master Kong finished their competition, they would still be wandering inside.

"What to do?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

Walking at this slow pace, they would die of exhaustion before reaching the heavens.

During the walk, he tried using the Grand Emperor Seal, but still could not contact the heavens.

That is, the distance was still too great.

"Let me handle it. Follow closely behind me, and don't fall behind..."

With a determined expression, Luo Qiqi exhaled.

"You?"

Zhang Xuan frowned, about to ask what she was going to do, when the girl's body shimmered and turned into a round Space Stabilizing Pearl.

As soon as the round pearl appeared, a force was released, and the twisted space immediately seemed glued in place, no longer moving.

"Quick, go!"

The girl's voice sounded.

Zhang Xuan and the little yellow chicken followed closely, flying forward rapidly.

With the Space Stabilizing Pearl stabilizing the space, the two and the chicken moved very fast. Two hours later, they had flown countless kilometers, and a dark gray barrier appeared before them.

In front of the barrier, streams of gray gas flowed incessantly, oppressing them and making it hard to breathe.

Whoosh!

The Space Stabilizing Pearl turned back into Luo Qiqi, her face pale. Clearly, the flight just now had drained her greatly.

Zhang Xuan took out a top-grade Divine Origin Pill and handed it to her, guiding her in cultivation. After half an hour, her complexion regained its rosy hue.

The Space Stabilizing Pearl inherently had the ability to maintain spatial stability. The flight had only consumed her energy, not damaged her foundation.

"These gas streams are a bit strange..."

After recovering, Luo Qiqi looked at the gray gas before her.

"They are indeed strange..." Zhang Xuan nodded.

These gas streams were exactly the same as those Feng Jiuge had absorbed into his body. He had thought there were only a few, but here they formed a huge barrier, making it difficult to advance.

Luo Qiqi approached and reached out a finger.

"Don't..." Seeing her move, Zhang Xuan's expression changed. Before he could finish, the girl's face turned deathly pale again.

The gray gas seemed to devour the power within her. In the blink of an eye, her cultivation rapidly fell from the peak of the Divine King realm. In just a few breaths, it dropped to the early stage of the Divine King realm, and still did not stop; her power continued to decrease!
