Wuxia Dream Mercurial_

Just like that, Shi Yan stood not far from the Sun Refined Spirit. He could feel the massive Sun Refined Flames of the Sun Refined Spirit continually pouring into his heart.

There was the Star Martial Spirit of the Star God from The Three Gods Sect inside his heart.

At first, the Star Martial Spirit could only absorb the star power, not the sunlight. However, when facing the Sun Refined Spirit this time, as soon as the sun power went into his body, the Star Martial Spirit had developed its effects, also absorbing the sun power.

What was the reason?

Shi Yan knew it was not as simple as the Ice Cold Flame had explained. It was not because that the sun was also a star itself so it could just absorb the sun power that way.

If this were true, the Three Gods Sect would not separate the Sun Martial Spirit and the Star Martial Spirit. The Sun Martial Spirit and the Star Martial Spirit should have its differences, could not be identical. If it so, how could the Star Martial Spirit absorb the sun power?

Shi Yan knitted his eyebrows; many thoughts flared up in his mind. He seemed to understand something.

Peculiar forces started spreading out from his meridians.

When lightning zoomed over him, Shi Yan suddenly understood the situation.

During this time, his heart was absorbing a lot of the mysterious energy. It could stimulate the transformations of the Immortal Martial Spirit and the Petrification Martial Spirit. Should it also make a useful change for the Star Martial Spirit, helping it reach this miraculous level? It should be so. Shi Yan nodded his head affirmatively.

“Swoosh!”

The Earth Flame was absorbing the scorching power of the Sun Refined Flames inside the Sun Refined Spirit. A bunch of the Sun Refined Flames like fire serpents disappeared into the burning fire halo of the Earth Flame, becoming a part of the Earth Flame’s power, causing a marvelous transformation of the Earth Flame’s burning power.

From ten meters away, Shi Yan was still motionless. The Star Martial Spirit in his body, on the contrary, was still absorbing the sun power of the Sun Refined Spirit, contesting the power from the Sun Refined Spirit with the Earth Flame.

Being consumed by the two powers, the dazzling hot sunlight started relenting gradually. Dazzling lights of the blazing red outer meteorite were disappearing little by little. The entire oppressively hot desert with the decreasing power in the Sun Refined Spirits became cooler.

“Do you feel that it is getting cooler?”

“Yeah, the temperature in the desert seems to be decreasing.”

“Uh, it’s getting very comfortable now. It looks like something is happening here. I don’t know if this can help us find the way out?”

“Who knows. I don’t want to stay in this devilish place any longer. Gosh, where is the end of the road if we keep on walking like this?”

“Don’t talk rubbish. We came to the Chasm Battlefield to kill the Yang family. We have not seen anyone of the Yang family yet. Even if we find a way out, don’t you feel ashamed if returning without completing your mission?”

The warriors from different forces in the Endless Sea were gathering into groups of three or five, discussing something.

Cao Zhi Lan sat alone with her knitted eyebrows. Her enchanting eyes beamed out a ray of light. After silently releasing the Spirit God Martial Spirit, Cao Zhi Lan started to observe everywhere and everything, including the tiny transformations of the air in the desert, to understand the weird change of this desert.

After a while, Cao Zhi Lan suddenly stood up and said, “We can go over there to see. I’ve recognized that neither the vigorous burning fires nor the attacking souls that could destroy our spirits exist there anymore. Now is a suitable time to go. There should not be any danger”.

“I’ll go!” Pan Zhe quickly stood up.

One hour later.

The four people of Cao Zhi Lan, Qu Yan Qing, Gu Ling Long, and Pan Zhe returned and stopped at the distance of more than ten meters away from the Sun Refined Spirit. They watched the Sun Refined Spirit with strange faces.

“Where is Shi Yan?” Gu Ling Long angrily asked. “That stupid guy disappeared again. How can we find him?”

Cao Zhi Lan still kept silent, looking at the Sun Refined Spirit with a strange face. She felt extremely confused.

Is this still the Sun Refined Spirit? It is just an ordinary meteorite from outer space. The Sun Refined Spirit from the center of the Sun has the purified burning powers of the Sun, how come it has become like this?! Who could absorb all the sun powers inside the Sun Refined Spirits in such a short time? Is it Shi Yan?

A big question mark appeared in Cao Zhi Lan’s head. She was staring at the Sun Refined Spirits which had become a common meteorite. She did not say anything for a while.

For the first time, she was concerned about Shi Yan. There were so many secrets about Shi Yan that she could not capture. Her Spirit God Martial Spirit could easily see through people’s minds, sensing all kinds of wonderful martial spirits or the opponents’ potential tricks.

Presently, she failed in discovering Shi Yan’s secrets, and it made her anxious and worried. She was not used to letting anyone slip out of her sense control. She greatly hated this feeling of incompetence.

Pan Zhe and Qu Yan Qing also knew a little about the Sun Refined Spirit’s legend. They were bewildered while looking at the Sun Refined Spirit which had turned into an ordinary stone. They didn’t know what to say momentarily.

A long time after that.

“I think Shi Yan has left. Hmm, what we have to do now is identifying his direction.” Cao Zhi Lan took a deep breath and released her Spirit God Martial Spirit to sense around. After a while, she suddenly pointed in one direction. “There seem to be some movements over there.” After a short pause, Cao Zhi Lan slightly exclaimed with a strange face, “Oh!”

“How is it?” Pan Zhe asked.

“Do you realize that the desert now is not the same as when we have just arrived? You guys can release your spiritual powers now. Isn’t it prevented anymore? My Spirit God Martial Spirit can finally cover its usual range. Hmm, the place over there should exist some Ancient Formation and defensive formation. I think we can now get out of this place.” Cao Zhi Lan calmly said.

“Is it for real?”, Gu Ling Long shouted excitedly. “The desert was getting cooler and cooler. The peculiar opposing forces in the desert had seemingly disappeared.”

“That’s true. All the changes were because of this meteorite”. Qu Yan Qing looked at the Sun Refined Spirit which had become an ordinary meteorite. “Because of this Sun Refined Spirit’s transformation, everything in the desert has changed.”

“I’ve known it already.” Cao Zhi Lan’s appealing body was in shock; her eyes brightened. She said in fear, “The entire desert is a devilish formation! The Sun Refined Spirit is both the power generator and the eye of the formation. When the power of the eye of the formation disappears, the mighty formation is immediately disabled and shows its true color.”

“My god, there is such a significant formation like that?” Gu Ling Long shouted, covering her mouth.

“Yes!” Cao Zhi Lan nodded. She contemplated for a while before continuing, “It’s not necessary to stay here anymore. I can feel that that direction is where the Transfer Formation has left. Hmm, we can take that direction. I think Shi Yan also followed that way.”

A moment later.

Cao Zhi Lan and the others discovered an Ancient Formation in the desert indeed. This Ancient Formation was very similar to the one which they had used to enter the desert. Without much hesitation, they all stepped in that formation without any hesitation. As soon as the pink light flared up, they instantly disappeared from this desert without a trace.

… … … … … …

The forest was boundless, the sky and earth aura were incredibly dense. Inside the woods, the fragrance of flowers and fresh air engulfed the entire forest, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.

On an ancient tree that pierced through the sky, Shi Yan was hiding inside the thick, dense layers of leaves one hundred meters up from the ground, looking around.

After having followed the Transfer Formation to come here, in the beginning, Shi Yan had thought he already returned to the Endless Sea, arriving at an island with full of sultry spiritual aura. However, after raising his head looking up to the sky, he knew that he was wrong, he was still in the Chasm Battlefield.

The blue sky was clear, masses of white clouds were hovering around. However, there were none of the three gods of the Sun, the Moon, and the Star. It was impossible to discover whether any star powers were pouring into the Star Martial Spirit or not.

The world without the three Gods of the Sun, the Moon, and the Star was obviously not the Endless Sea. This place was still inside of the Chasm Battlefield; only the environment had changed.

Although this place was in the Chasm Battlefield, the sky and earth auras were extremely dense. It seemed to be different from the description of Yang Mu’s warriors.

According to Yang Mu’s group, the sky and earth auras in the Chasm Battlefield should be very diluted. It wasn’t a suitable place for warriors to cultivate. This place had been the ancient battlefield, and only ancient mummies or explorers lived here. No warrior could be found in this area.

From the distance of one hundred meters from the ground, Shi Yan looked around and discovered there were many vital lives inside the forest.

From afar, there seemed to be an imposing Giant Ancient City. The entire Ancient City was made of huge stones; the colored flag was flaunting on top of the wall of the Ancient City. He could vaguely see some people inside there.

The location of the Giant Stone Ancient City was more than ten miles away from Shi Yan. The Ancient City was protected by a mysterious power which prevented Shi Yan from using his soul consciousness to peep at it.

Looking further, he could see nothing else but the endless forest. His ears could even hear the terrifying roars of some animals.

This place was not much different from any other places in the outside world. There were spiritual auras, beasts, and also warriors, but there were no three Gods of the Sun, the Moon, and the Star.

After observing at the distance of one hundred meters high from the ground, Shi Yan contemplated for a while before deciding to go to the Giant Stone Ancient City to see if warriors were living there or not.

“Thump.”

Shi Yan plunged down like a big bird and then steadily landing on the ground.

In a moment, a flow of miasmatic power like billions of rope twisted around his body. As soon as he descended, he realized that he was captured and confined without being able to move.

“Damn Pagan!”

A clear but cold whisper came to his ears from behind.

Shi Yan wanted to turn his head around to look at the source of the whisper but realized that he could not do it. He suddenly smelled a fragrance of orchids which sneaked into his mind, making him dizzy and fall unconsciously.
