Chapter 1591: Chapter 1591: Untying the Knot
"What? They went to the Holy Soul Illusion Realm with me, how could they have gone to Beiyuan Fog Origin?" Mu Hanyan asked in surprise, looking at Ye Lanfeng.
"Because the Holy Soul Illusion Realm is originally part of Beiyuan Fog Origin. Not only the Holy Soul Illusion Realm, but many cultivation realms on the continent are actually divided independent spaces, and those spaces are located within the North Abyss Misty Plain.
However, the Heaven and Earth Rules of the North Abyss Misty Plain are too chaotic, so we can only enter and exit through teleportation arrays; it’s impossible to pass directly through the North Abyss Misty Plain. But although chaotic, the rules in the North Abyss Misty Plain are the most comprehensive. If by some rare chance, a certain illusion realm might be opened.
This has happened before, when several Holy Court Disciples, while being transmitted out of the illusion realm, mistakenly went to the North Abyss Misty Plain instead of returning to the Holy Court.
The Holy Soul Illusion Realm isn’t dangerous, and Gai Huangji and Bo Xuanji are after you, so Huayue and the others should not be in any danger. I’ve searched throughout the Holy Court and couldn’t find them, thus guessing they might have been transmitted to the North Abyss Misty Plain like those Holy Court Disciples." Ye Lanfeng patiently explained.
"What happened to those Holy Court Disciples afterward?" Mu Hanyan asked anxiously.
"They died." Ye Lanfeng replied concisely.
A shiver ran through Mu Hanyan’s heart; Huayue and the others might follow the same fate.
"You shouldn’t worry too much; it’s said the space of the Holy Soul Illusion Realm doesn’t extend deep into the North Abyss Misty Plain. Huayue and the others have much greater talent and power than those Holy Court Disciples, so they should be safe for now." Seeing Mu Hanyan’s worry, Ye Lanfeng comforted.
Yet, Mu Hanyan couldn’t ignore the word "temporarily," unable to relax. Temporary safety implied that as time went on, their lives would still be at risk.
"I’ll head to the North Abyss Misty Plain right away." Mu Hanyan said.
She’s not reckless; though worried about Fen Qianji’s safety earlier, she knew the North Abyss Misty Plain is fraught with danger. If she rushed in recklessly, she wouldn’t be able to rescue anyone, might endanger her own life, and harm others, so she had to wait until the Heaven and Earth Power was at its weakest to move.
But now, hearing Huayue and others are trapped in the North Abyss Misty Plain, she couldn’t wait any longer. Calculating the time, a few days have passed, so it should be about time.
"The Holy Master has already begun preparing the transmission array; we’ll be able to set off later. I’ve informed Zhuang Ping’an and the others," Ye Lanfeng said.
"They’re going now too?" Mu Hanyan asked with some concern.
"It’s about time. Although the Heaven and Earth Power of the North Abyss Misty Plain hasn’t reached its lowest yet, your strength should be enough to handle it. And the teleportation array can only be opened once every hundred years; if it only sends you, they can’t go and will have to rely on their own strength to open the seal barrier of the North Abyss Misty Plain. As far as I know, very few cultivators below Sword Saint can achieve this." Ye Lanfeng explained.
"Alright then." Mu Hanyan finally relaxed.
Above the fathomless abyss before Holy Cloud Peak, a shimmering arch appeared out of thin air. Through the ethereal patterns of light, a fog-covered land of mountains and rivers could be faintly seen, like a mirage.
"Upon reaching the North Abyss Misty Plain, you must rely on your own strength to reach the Heavenly Curtain; otherwise, even if I send you there, you won’t withstand the might of the Heavenly Curtain," the Holy Master said to Mu Hanyan and the others.
"Heavenly Curtain?" Mu Hanyan and the others looked at the Holy Master in confusion.
"Once you arrive at the Beiyuan Fog Abyss, you’ll understand. The twelve inheritances left are within the Heavenly Curtain; once you reach it, someone will guide you inside." the Holy Master explained.
With his explanation, Mu Hanyan and the others refrained from asking further.
"Lanfeng, accompany them this time. Still, try not to intervene; if they can’t reach the Heavenly Curtain on their own strength, you’re doing them more harm than good," the Holy Master added.
"Understood," Ye Lanfeng replied with a serious expression.
"Take care." The Holy Master looked over everyone, formed hand gestures, and prepared to send them to the transmission array.
"Wait, Young Master Mu, keep these Elixirs for emergencies." Jin Qisheng suddenly stepped forward and handed a box to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan scanned it with her Divine Sense, discovering that the box was a Storage Space, categorically holding over a thousand Elixirs.
"Thank you," Mu Hanyan replied, putting away the Elixirs.
"I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for your efforts, I would still be stubbornly holding a grudge against Uncle Wuchen," Jin Qisheng said, looked at Jian Wuchen with eyes full of guilt.
"I should thank you too; it was you who helped resolve my inner conflict." Jian Wuchen said, stepping forward to speak to Mu Hanyan.
Evidently, her bet with Jin Qisheng wasn’t in vain. He’s finally let go of his obsession and no longer harbors hostility toward Jian Wuchen. Where he previously reluctantly called Jian Wuchen "Uncle," now he respectfully addresses him as "Ancestor Uncle." Jian Wuchen’s greatest inner conflict had thus been resolved.
"Uncle Wuchen, Elder Jin, take care." Mu Hanyan waved her hand.
The weight lightened on her body, and everyone entered the teleportation array, with streams of phantom light swirling around them, revealing a mysterious world ahead.
In front lay endless mountains and valleys covered in mist, which shrouded the entire expanse, appearing not very dense, yet it clung without dispersing, with sunlight unable to penetrate. Through the mist, distant and nearby scenery seemed like a vast ink painting, evoking a sense of profound mystery.
But astonishingly, through the clinging mist, one could see tornadoes sometimes sweeping across the land in the distance. These storms appeared abruptly, seemingly without reason, spinning across the land like whirlwinds, only to disappear instantly, as if they had never existed.
Despite their sudden appearances and vanishings, Mu Hanyan faintly felt the terrifying power within them, imagining that being caught by these tornadoes meant certain doom.
Even more astonishing was in the endless distance, a giant curtain of light descended from the sky, spanning the entirety of the heavens, seemingly marking the world’s end.
Although the mist condensed, making everything dreamlike, Mu Hanyan and the others with their eyesight could barely discern the tornadoes as hazy apparitions, yet the light of that curtain penetrated the fog, appearing clearly before them.
Clearly, this was the Heavenly Curtain, the seal barrier dividing Holy Court Continent from the Divine Continent!
No wonder the Holy Master said they would understand upon reaching Beiyuan Fog Abyss; this Heavenly Curtain was too conspicuous, impossible to ignore.
