Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 351: The eighth realm

On the ruins of the Guanghan Palace, Su Yun and Wu Tong locked eyes, each with hostility in their gaze.

Neither of them had successfully opened the Guanghan realm. The time was too short, and the Gui tree was too vast, causing both of them to fail in their visualizations.

Furthermore, even if they succeeded in visualizing, they still needed to try to condense the Moon Dew. Without the successful refinement of the Moon Dew, it would not be considered a success.

Even if the Moon Dew was refined, if the condensed Moon Dew was too little or too slow, it would still not be considered a success.

Opening a realm was not as simple as it seemed; it required multiple attempts and trial and error.

Su Yun and Wu Tong claimed to have successfully opened the realm, but in reality, they were suppressing each other's confidence, hoping the other would give up so they could have enough time to complete this feat.

Su Yun suddenly smiled and reached out his hand to the girl on the Immortal Scroll, sincerely saying, "Wu Tong, welcome back."

Wu Tong ignored his hand and walked past him, saying, "The reason I came back to life is that we haven't determined the winner yet. On the other hand, it took the First Holy Emperor a thousand years to arrive at the Guanghan Cave, which is too slow. I only needed a moment to arrive from the moon to the Guanghan Cave. I have no need to follow in the footsteps of the First Holy Emperor and search for my people."

Ying Ying rode on the Lingxi and ran into her spiritual realm, kindly reminding Wu Tong, "Wu Tong, you don't need to explain so much to him. If you explain so much, you will lose."

Su Yun withdrew his hand and asked in confusion, "Aren't you taking the Immortal Scroll? After all, it belongs to your people."

Wu Tong shook her head, "Keeping a treasure will bring trouble. If I have the Immortal Scroll, Yu Jin will not let me go."

Su Yun turned around, and the Immortal Scroll on the altar behind him floated in the air, turned over once, swept away the dust, and slowly entered his spiritual realm.

"Even if it's left here, Yu Jin will still create a heavenly ship and come here."

Su Yun bowed to the silent stone statues and stood up straight, saying, "The Immortal Scroll is the Immortal Path. This may be the last Immortal Path in our world. We cannot give it to Yu Jin. I am proficient in the ninety-six divine runes. Perhaps I can use this Immortal Scroll to open the Guanghan Cave again."

Wu Tong did not speak and walked towards the mirror space.

Ying Ying lay on the back of the Lingxi, hands as pillows, leisurely saying, "What I don't understand is that you should have entered the starry sky to continue searching for your people. After all, you once traveled a long distance and crossed the starry sky to come to this world in search of your people."

She turned over and looked at the spirited Wu Tong in the Kylin Pearl, her eyes flickering. "What made you stay?"

She showed excitement, "Is it because of Su Shizi? Don't try to fool me with your explanation. I am a master in spiritual matters, and no one can fool me. Not even you."

Wu Tong's spiritual state of mind was indifferent, "Why do I need to explain to you why I stayed? If I explain to you, wouldn't that mean I lost?"

Ying Ying widened her eyes, wanting to argue but not knowing how to refute her. Wu Tong's words silenced her.

The Lingxi shook its tail and ran away.

Wu Tong returned to the mirror in the moon, only to see the North Sea hanging upside down, with pleasant air. A black phoenix was catching fish on the sea, and Jiao Shu'Ao was still standing there, motionless, having gained some weight.

Wu Tong looked again and confirmed that Jiao Shu'Ao had indeed gained weight.

"Smack!"

A big fish was thrown by the phoenix from the sea and landed at Jiao Shu'Ao's feet. Jiao Shu'Ao's upper body turned into a fat black dragon, opening its mouth to swallow the big fish.

Jiao Shu'Ao noticed Wu Tong's arrival, calmly swallowed the fish, turned back into human form, and returned to her side, standing proudly with an indifferent expression.

Wu Tong frowned slightly.

She and Su Yun had explored the Guanghan Cave together for three or four days, and Jiao Shu'Ao had gained a lot of weight during that time.

Jiao Shu'Ao noticed her furrowed brows and quickly took a deep breath, shrinking her belly.

Su Yun checked the injuries of Glutton, Kylin, and other divine beings. Their injuries were no longer serious, but it would still take some time for them to recover.

He calmed down and carefully pondered the Gui tree on the Guanghan Mountain, trying to open the Guanghan realm. However, the more anxious he became, the more difficult it was to achieve.

In the spiritual realm, the seventy-two caves rotated, and a Gui tree stood tall in the Guanghan Cave, with Su Yun's Kylin Pearl hanging on the tree.

His Guanghan Cave seemed to be complete, but there was no Moon Dew on the Gui tree.

"I have spent too little time comprehending the Gui tree, and I am still missing something."

Su Yun carefully recalled the charm of the Gui tree and continued to visualize, perfecting the details of the Guanghan Gui tree, trying to transform the surging aura in the Guanghan Cave into Moon Dew.

After who knows how many days, Su Yun went through numerous trial and error attempts and finally saw the first drop of Moon Dew hanging from the branches of the Gui tree.

Su Yun's spirit was uplifted. He let his Kylin Pearl absorb that drop of Moon Dew and compared it with the half-pool of Moon Dew he had obtained.

"It's still not enough. The Moon Dew is too faint, and it doesn't have much effect on the spiritual state. When cultivating to the Beginning Movement realm, ordinary worldly aura is no longer enough to strengthen the spiritual state. That's why we have to cultivate in the Deep Abyss and combine true essence with the spiritual state using the power of the Nine Abyss."

Su Yun contemplated deeply and said softly, "If the Moon Dew is too faint, the spiritual state will absorb less, and the effect will be far inferior to the Kylin Pearl."

He continued to try to improve it, but the Moon Dew condensed by the Guanghan Gui tree was still too faint.

Su Yun stood up and looked around, only to find that Wu Tong was not in the mirror.

He came to the desolate moon outside the mirror and saw Jiao Shu'Ao transforming into a black dragon, soaring and practicing various dragon techniques on the moon, working hard.

Wu Tong, on the other hand, floated in the air, carefully comprehending. Apparently, she had not successfully opened the Guanghan realm either.

"Wu Tong, why don't we share our insights on the Guanghan realm and learn from each other?"

Su Yun suggested, "Our time spent comprehending is too short to fully understand everything about the Gui tree. Only by exchanging insights can we hope to open the Guanghan realm."

Wu Tong's progress was also slow. Hearing this, she said, "After we exchange insights, if we both come up with a method to open the Guanghan realm, then who will be considered the one who opened it?"

Su Yun smiled, "Then let's consider it as a joint effort!"Wu Tong looked at him deeply and said, "Do you have the magnanimity to share this honor with me? Aren't you afraid that I will corrupt the Dao hearts of all the spiritual practitioners in the world?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "I won't take credit for your achievements."

The two sat down and exchanged their insights. Su Yun excelled in careful observation, and his construction of the osmanthus tree was the most complete. Wu Tong, due to her profound cultivation and innate advantage in spiritual nature, had the most thorough understanding of the charm of the osmanthus tree.

After their exchange, both gained new insights and continued their research.

Not long after, Su Yun tried to activate the improved Hong Furnace Transformation. The Broad Cold Cave Heaven, like a bright moon, hung high in the sky of his spiritual realm, making the other Cave Heavens pale in comparison.

In the moon, there was an osmanthus tree, with dew condensing and falling into the Deep Abyss Pearl.

The speed of the dew condensation was not fast, but in terms of quality, it was not much different from the real moonlight dew.

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wu Tong, I lost. You are the senior sister. The Broad Cold Realm I created is not complete, I'm afraid it can only serve as a subsidiary realm, attached to the Spirit Cultivation, Beginning Movement, Deep Abyss, and Heavenly Phenomenon realms."

He looked strange and said, "When a spiritual practitioner cultivates to the Spirit Cultivation realm, he can also open up the Broad Cold Realm. When he cultivates to the Beginning Movement realm, the Broad Cold Realm is still not perfect. When he cultivates to the Heavenly Phenomenon, the Broad Cold Realm is probably still not perfect."

Wu Tong said, "Me too."

Su Yun was stunned.

Wu Tong opened her spiritual realm. Su Yun looked up and saw a bright moon in the sky, with an osmanthus tree hanging dew. The concentration of the moonlight dew was not high, and the speed was not fast.

Their progress was similar, but they had also reached the limit of what they could perfect!

They had spent too little time on Broad Cold Mountain to elevate the Broad Cold Realm to the level of perfection!

Therefore, although they created a wonderful realm, the effect of this realm did not bring about earth-shattering changes. Because even if a spiritual practitioner spent all his lifespan, it would only be a hundred years. Even if he learned to prolong his life, it would only be two or three hundred years. In these two or three hundred years, a spiritual practitioner might not be able to cultivate the Broad Cold Realm to perfection!

However, the benefits of the Broad Cold Realm are still obvious, that is, it allows the spiritual nature of the spiritual practitioner to break through the previous limit and reach another level!

It can be imagined that once the Broad Cold Realm is spread out, it will cause a great shock to all the spiritual practitioners in the world!

The achievements of Su Yun and Wu Tong can be said to have added half a realm for all the spiritual practitioners in the world!

Of course, Su Yun and Wu Tong do not need to spend their entire lives condensing moonlight dew, because they each collected half a pool of pure moonlight dew.

They just need to continuously refine and absorb the moonlight dew, and in a few months, they can cultivate this realm to perfection!

The little book monster Ying Ying was soaking in half a pool of moonlight dew, leisurely recording the details of the Broad Cold Realm. The moonlight dew was not water, so she didn't need to worry about getting wet.

On the other side of the moon pool, a snow-white spiritual rhinoceros was lying on the edge of the pool with its eyes squinted.

"From now on, you two will be regarded as saints and ancestors."

Ying Ying was seriously recording the Broad Cold Osmanthus Tree and said, "The Record of Understanding Things can only record some details of this realm. Other details need you to personally demonstrate the construction and charm of the osmanthus tree. Those who follow your cultivation will get the true teachings. Those who comprehend and cultivate from the Record of Understanding Things will be second to that."

The little book monster smiled happily and leisurely said, "As the recorder of the Record of Understanding Things, I will also be remembered in history! Thousands of years, millions of years, if the faith does not fall, maybe! I can also become a god, refine the indestructible golden body, and become the Ying Ying deity!"

"Moo——" The spiritual rhinoceros called out excitedly.

"You don't have a share!"

Time flew by, and more than a month passed unknowingly. Calculating the time, it was already the twelfth lunar month on the ground.

The injuries of the female ugly, Kylin and other gods and demons were not healed yet, but they were not as serious as before. Su Yun invited them into his spiritual realm and sent them into the wooden door he had collected from Broad Cold Mountain, saying, "You elder brothers and sisters, please stay here for now."

The female ugly, Kylin and other gods and demons were quite satisfied and said, "The jailer no longer locks us in Qingyu Town, but starts to lock us in a real prison. This time he even built a house!"

Su Yun had a dark face.

The Three-legged Golden Crow mobilized its magical power and managed to fly with difficulty, carrying Su Yun, Wu Tong and others away from the moon and towards the planet where they lived.

The Golden Crow could not fly at full speed yet, but its speed was not slow. After half an hour, Su Yun suddenly saw many small sky ships floating between the earth and the moon.

"This is... the Same Heaven Rope Way! Brother Golden Crow, stop!" Su Yun shouted.

The Three-legged Golden Crow slowed down and floated with those small sky ships. Su Yun jumped onto a small sky ship and saw that these sky ships were the ones used to explore the Glowing Confusion Continent last time.

Some scholars were floating in the cabin.

Su Yun was sad and said to Wu Tong who followed him, "I promised the master of Yue Liuxi Pavilion to rescue these scholars as much as possible, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. Now that I'm here, let's take their bodies and send them home."

Wu Tong was puzzled, "They are already dead, I'm afraid even their spirits have been annihilated. What's the use of sending them back to Da Qin?"

Su Yun gathered the bodies of the Da Qin scholars on a sky ship, put the sky ship into his spiritual realm, and said, "They are warriors, people admire them, their families will miss them, they should be buried."

Wu Tong was still puzzled.

"Fu Yun Mountain? He also died here..." Su Yun saw the face of a corpse and was lost in thought.

At this time, a ragged sailboat drove by. Su Yun had a thought, "Mr. Shuijing's boat! He hasn't repaired this boat yet! Come to think of it, I can repair this boat!"
