"This power is so strong..."

Liang Yi had some headache, initially thinking that with so much time passed and still suppressed by the Heavenly Avoidance Coffin, the power should have weakened to its limit. Unexpectedly, it remained so forceful.

"Senior Brother, let me help you!" A warm yet powerful Sword Intent came from behind Liang Yi, like a potent heart-strengthening injection, revitalizing Liang Yi in an instant.

The orange cat, who was essentially watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh resignedly, opened its mouth wide, and absorbed some of the strange forces of the Laws of Oblivion.

Before the Transformation Law was cultivated, swallowing these things would have caused him some stomach pain, but a few days ago his retreat had allowed him to solve this problem.

With the addition of his junior sister and the orange cat, the pressure in front of Liang Yi sharply decreased, but it still wasn't enough.

Gritting his teeth, Liang Yi directly used Experience to elevate Endless Dao to the sixth layer.

Cultivation Technique is the foundation of cultivation; as long as the Cultivation Technique improves, everything one controls will increase to varying degrees.

A profoundly mysterious aura of the Great Dao ascended, and Ying Xi, in amazement, found that Liang Yi seemed to be on the verge of another breakthrough.

Such instances of enlightenment under terrifying pressure are not uncommon, just rarely this dramatic.

Even Zhou Zhukong, who was merely watching with a trace of his Divine Sense, clicked his tongue in wonder. Chen Hua's two disciples weren't half bad. In comparison, not a single person among the numerous young geniuses of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty could match up to these two.

It wasn't that he wouldn't take action, but Chen Hua had once intentionally reminded him that he should train these two juniors more. So unless there was a threat to their lives, Zhou Zhukong didn't plan to intervene.

Moreover, in his view, the special Sword Intent used by Liang Yi seemed to have the effect of completely overcoming the power of the Abyss, which was rather extraordinary.

While Zhou Zhukong was still pondering, Liang Yi had already successfully finished on his side. Although that force could be considered powerful, it was nothing more than water without a source, powerless to reverse the situation under the combined efforts of the three, and was ultimately completely extracted from Zhou Wudao.

And in the moment when that strand of power completely disappeared, a stream of light flashed out from the Void and fell straight into Zhou Wudao's mouth, dissolving.

An unparalleled strength of Spiritual Power ensued, the dense fragrance of medicine instantly filling the entire hall, reviving both Liang Yi and Su Youyi, who were at that moment resting, eliminating their fatigue in an instant. Their nearly depleted Spiritual Power also returned to normal.

"Is this... an Immortal Pill, meow?" The orange cat, after only a sniff, discerned that this very likely was a First-grade Immortal Pill.

"That's right, this is indeed the last remaining Immortal Pill of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, the Great Sun Heavenly Star Pill!" Ying Xi nodded, not denying it.

"The Immortal Pill has always been hidden within the Void around His Highness the Big Prince, to be consumed in the brief moment when there is hope of healing."

Liang Yi and Su Youyi looked curiously towards Zhou Wudao; they had yet to see what an Immortal Pill looked like.

They saw that the bowl-sized wound on Zhou Wudao's chest was slowly wriggling, tiny blood vessels emerging and flesh beginning to cover it. In just a few breaths, that patch, apart from being without clothes, was no different from normal flesh.

And it was not just a mere physical healing; even the damage to the Divine Soul began to recover. Previously, not only had Zhou Wudao suffered severe physical injuries, but his Divine Soul was also cracked. If not for the timely use of the Heavenly Avoidance Coffin, once his Divine Soul shattered completely, even consuming a bottle of Immortal Pills wouldn't be able to save him.

Suddenly, Zhou Wudao's body, which was like an ice sculpture, trembled slightly.

This seemed like a signal. What followed was breathing; the resumption of breathing indicated that Zhou Wudao had been pulled back from the Ghost Gate.

"Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission [Abyssal Enigma]!"

"Congratulations on receiving the mission reward: Experience 3,000,000, a portion of control over the black market of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, Lustrous Moon Spiritual Liquid, Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty Favorability +300!"

"Phew!" Liang Yi let out a long sigh of relief; this mission was finally complete.

"By the way, that Dao Intent you just swallowed, is there any more?" as Zhou Wudao's breathing gradually stabilized and signs of life reappeared, Zhou Zhukong nodded in satisfaction. But then he changed the topic, asking the orange cat who was grooming its fur on the side.

"Um, there's a little bit more, meow!" The orange cat was somewhat puzzled but still slowly exhaled an invisible wave.

Emperor Zhou, far away in his study, reached out to catch this escaping wave carrying the Abyss Power and placed it into a specially made Magical Treasure container.

Over in the Desert North, where the battle with the Abyss was intense, this Concealment that could eliminate the presence of others could also erase one's own presence.

According to the abbot of the Zen sect, numerous monks had already suffered from baffling sneak attacks, the assailant employing this near-Law level power for disguise.

Now with the sample in hand, it was time for careful study.

"Um... is this... the Xuanzhou Imperial Palace?" A weak voice full of confusion sounded as Zhou Wudao, unsteadily propped himself up with his left hand and looked around with bewildered little eyes.

"Your Highness, do you remember what happened before you fell unconscious?" Ying Xi instructed the Imperial Palace maids to bring over several cups of Royal Tribute Tea that could refresh the mind.

After seeing the tea, Zhou Wudao realized he was parched and thirsty, and his internal Spiritual Power was completely depleted, as if he'd just finished a battle.

"Gulp gulp!" Finishing the tea in one go, Zhou Wudao's chaotic memories finally started to clear up, broken pieces of memory gradually piecing together into a coherent whole.

"After I entered the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm, I encountered a dense fog, but luckily, due to the uniqueness of my mental method, I remained conscious," Zhou Wudao said slowly, hand on forehead, recounting as if putting the memories together bit by bit.

"When I wanted to find Ke Mengzhan and He Zhiqing, I met a person in a black robe. But before I could ask, that person launched an attack on me." Zhou Wudao shook his head, his expression pained.

"I never expected to encounter an enemy from the Eighth Realm in the Secret Realm. Everything went dark instantly, and the next thing I knew, I was awake in the present."

Zhou Wudao's words were brief, yet they cleared up some of the confusion for everyone.

Liang Yi had some guesses about who that person in a black robe was; it was probably the one his master injured from afar.

"Can someone tell me what exactly happened?" Zhou Wudao blinked, truly feeling as if he'd closed and opened his eyes with no sense of how much time had passed.

He had just woken up, and his mind was still muddled.

"This is a long story," Ying Xi slowly began to speak.
