Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 395: Who is he?

The figure stood in the middle of space, and he was the God of Chai Yundu, the Emperor's Seat Cave.

He closed his name, but in fact, he observed the celestial phenomena and found that the trajectories of the three suns orbiting the Emperor's Seat Cave were subtly changing. This slight disturbance indicated that a huge object was affecting the movement of these three suns.

Chai Yundu carefully observed and found that there was an extra star by the sea.

After all, he was a god, with great supernatural powers. Based on the light and abnormal magnetic field in the sky, he deduced that the Imperial Court Cave was approaching the Emperor's Seat Cave. So, on a whim, he projected his spirit out of his body to explore the cause.

This exploration was not trivial. He actually saw the Imperial Court Cave with an inexplicable star, appearing next to the Emperor's Seat Cave and connecting with it!

The two great caves had become one!

For the people of Yuanshuo, the Celestial Market was a continent inserted in the north, inhabited by monsters and demons. For Su Yun and others who had been to the moon, the Celestial Market was a big cake inserted into the planet, dragging an endless northern sea in space.

But from a distance, it was a huge Celestial Market inserted into a small ball, which was the world where Su Yun and the others were.

That world was just a vassal of the Celestial Market.

However, because the two great caves had long been cut off from divine communication and were blocked by the Black Iron City, Yundu, the God of Chai, could not travel from the sea to the Imperial Court. So, he could only fly from the sky to the Imperial Court.

The physical body had weight, but the spirit did not. Therefore, the spirit flying to the Imperial Court was the fastest.

At that time, it was the end of the battle at the Immortal Record Mountain. Su Yun, Ying Long, and others joined forces to kill the remaining embers, who died under the immortal sword. At that time, the spirit of the God of Chai Yundu also encountered the magnetic force between the two great caves.

So, he refined the magnetic light into a treasure. Before he arrived, he attacked various places with the magnetic light, so that he could explore whether there were any experts on this small planet.

But what surprised him was that there were so many experts on this small planet that it was unbelievable!

He attacked various places with the magnetic light, but was blocked by one god and demon after another!

Yundu, the God, was also curious about why there were so many gods and demons on this small planet. In addition to this, he also wanted to know the specific number of these gods and demons and what abilities they had.

This small planet was like this, so the Celestial Market was a place he had to be careful of. After all, the Celestial Market was much larger than this small planet!

The spirit of Yundu, the God, flew to the small planet and kept probing. Finally, he found that there were actually seventy-six gods and demons on this small world.

These days, he changed his strategy and planned to explore the Celestial Market to see if the Imperial Court had really been destroyed by a terrible war, as the news from the immortal world said.

But just as he was about to explore the Celestial Market, he suddenly lost contact with his physical body left in the Emperor's Seat Cave!

There was only one possible cause of this situation.

That was, he was dead.

The connection between the spirit and the physical body was very close. The physical body was the root, and the spirit was the thought and consciousness of the physical body, attached to the physical body. Once the spirit left the body, it was like a rootless duckweed.

A rootless duckweed could survive, and a spirit leaving the body could also survive.

But if the connection between the spirit and the body was completely severed, even if the body still had a heartbeat, the spirit could not return to the body!

Returning would make one a half-demon.

And to become a half-demon, one had to die with great unwillingness and overwhelming obsession.

"Even if I go back now, it's too late."

Chai Yundu felt infinitely desolate in his heart. "Who killed me in the end?"

A strong person could let his spirit leave the body for a short time. For example, in Yuanshuo, there were often powerful spiritualists who let their spirits leave their bodies and roam Yuanshuo, traveling tens of thousands of miles in a day. But there were also those who lost their sense of their bodies because they had left their bodies too far and died.

There were also those who left their bodies for too long, causing the body's functions to fail and resulting in death.

Many spiritualists died in Yuanshuo every year, but the existence of the Dao Saint and the Original Dao Realm did not have this problem. A powerful Original Dao Saint could even cross the sea with his spirit and roam the world.

An existence like Yundu, the God, naturally could not make such a mistake. His physical body was sitting in the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Immortal Hall in the Immortal Cloud, not to mention the numerous seals and prohibitions outside. It was simply impossible for anyone to invade the Ten Thousand Immortal Hall. Even if someone could invade, they would be blocked by the golden spirit of the Chai family!

It was impossible for anyone to break into the Immortal Family Hall and kill his physical body!

Moreover, how strong was his physical body?

Moreover, he was a god! The king of gods!

Who could kill him?

He was furious and returned, rushing to the Emperor's Seat Cave. In any case, he had to kill the person who had killed him!

At this time, in the Immortal Family Hall, after Su Yun suppressed the physical body of Chai Yundu, the terrifying divine might finally disappeared. Su Yun was still trembling, and the magnetic light in his hand buzzed and turned into a divine sword.

Su Yun leaned on the sword, and his legs were still shaking. He had never seen such a terrifying divine might. Just the oppressive feeling of the divine might made him, a master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, unable to bear it!

Ying Ying's voice was trembling and hoarse as she asked, "Su Scholar, who is this person after all?"

"I don't know."Su Yun steadied his breath and said, "But he must be the owner of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Sword. Could it be the remains of a sage? He left this sword behind and used it to lead me here; could it be that he wants to pass on his mantle to me?"

His eyes shone brighter and brighter with excitement: "It must be so! Ying Ying, is this how those immortals choose their disciples after they die? Leaving behind a sword to see who can obtain it, and the youth who does will be led to his cave abode, then inherit his mantle!"

The young man clenched his fists in excitement: "I knew I had great fortune, that I wouldn't be tricked by Qu Bo and the others, then by Lou Ban and his group! My luck has finally turned!"

Ying Ying hesitated, but still mustered the courage to shatter his illusion: "Master Su, you were carried here by the divine sword, encountering so many dangers along the way..."

"It's all a test for me!" Su Yun was brimming with confidence, "And look, wherever this divine sword goes, all seals automatically open, without encountering any obstacles!"

Ying Ying said, "I think that person was in seclusion here, his spirit wandering, and you accidentally barged in. Look, there are golden-bodied spirits guarding outside, clearly protectors of his seclusion. By suppressing his physical body, you've cut off the connection with his spirit, and most likely that person will be dead for good."

Su Yun, who was mostly clear on the various taboos of cultivation but still had some blind spots, naturally did not understand what suppressing the physical body meant. But Ying Ying was crystal clear.

Su Yun turned a deaf ear, still immersed in the immense joy of the "sage" leaving "him" so much wealth.

Then, he began to examine his wealth, but what greeted him was only disappointment.

The grand hall of the immortals was empty, save for the terrifyingly powerful body he had encountered earlier, and the meditation cushion beneath it.

Ying Ying suddenly exclaimed, "I know! Master Su, I think I know who that deity is!"

Su Yun was puzzled; the cushion had seemed quite large under the body earlier, but now it had shrunk considerably to the size of a normal meditation cushion.

"Who is he?" Su Yun asked casually, walking forward to try and pick up the cushion.

"He is a descendant of immortals, the one who receives the sages on the path of Ascending to Immortality, and the master of this Emperor's Cave Heaven!"

Ying Ying's expression was serious, "Chai Yundu, the Divine Lord Yundu!"

As Su Yun touched the cushion, it suddenly burst forth with divine light, reflecting off Su Yun's body and spirit, and he instantly felt his body and spirit crazily absorbing the power within the divine light!

The divine light seemed to be refining his body and spirit anew!

"What did you say?" Su Yun asked loudly. Celestial music filled his ears, and he did not hear Ying Ying's words.

Ying Ying shouted, "I said he is Chai Yundu, the Divine Lord of this place!"

Su Yun sat down on the cushion, surrounded by swirling divine light, seeping into his bones.

The divine light emanating from the cushion was incredibly pure, far surpassing the divine light bathed in at Ying An City, making Su Yun feel that his marrow, bones, tendons, blood vessels, muscles, fascia, internal organs, and even his skin were all being baptized by the divine light, indescribably comfortable.

"What did you say?" he mumbled drowsily.

"I said he is the Divine Lord Yundu, you might have killed him..."

The divine light from the cushion seeped into Su Yun's spirit realm, and as Ying Ying was about to speak again, the nourishment from the divine light made her feel as if she had Ascended to Immortality, feeling light and at ease, both body and spirit becoming incredibly pure and comfortable.

"So comfortable... What was I saying?" Ying Ying mumbled drowsily.

Beside her, the little white rhinoceros seemed to sense something amiss and hurriedly nudged Ying Ying with its horn.

Its horn was a sacred object, capable of dispelling all confusion, but before it could touch Ying Ying, the rhinoceros too was bathed in the divine light, becoming drowsy as if about to fall asleep.

At this moment, Lou Ban had already broken into the Myriad Immortals Pavilion, rushing forward with great effort, coinciding with Nan Buyi's unparalleled bravery, battling fiercely against three golden-bodied spirits!

Lou Ban was about to bypass them when suddenly a golden-bodied spirit of the Chai family appeared in front, its gaze sharp and sweeping around.

"There are other spirits here!"

The golden-bodied spirit snorted and clapped its hands: "Raise the Myriad Immortals Banner!"

Whoosh!

In the Myriad Immortals Pavilion, banners flew up, fluttering in the wind.

"We can't get through," Lou Ban sighed, ready to make a move.

At that moment, Wu Tong passed by.

Deeper in the Myriad Immortals Pavilion, several ancient golden-bodied gods stood up and came to the front of the immortal's grand hall, working together to unravel the layers of seals and prohibitions, saying solemnly, "There's someone in that light, we must pull him out!"

Outside the Myriad Immortals Pavilion, many young experts of the Chai family came one after another, entering the pavilion.

At the same time, in the heavens, the spirit of Chai Yundu raced like lightning, turning into a streak of light in the starry sky, heading straight for the Emperor's Cave Heaven.

Inside the grand hall of the immortals, Su Yun, Ying Ying, and the rhinoceros remained drowsy, as if asleep.
