Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 447: Crisis in the Immortal Trench

This cultivator’s words had barely faded when Guang Quan, Meng Tianyu, and Qian Yue landed at the entrance of the Half-Immortal Domain. It was clear to everyone that their expressions were less than pleasant.

“What are you all gathered here for?” Though he knew the reason, Guang Quan still asked the question.

A sharp-faced cultivator quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully. “Reporting to the Domain Lord, Alliance Leader Jiao believes the Half-Immortal Domain is about to collapse and become part of the Immortal Chasm. He is gathering fellow cultivators to discuss how to leave the Half-Immortal Domain.”

Hearing this, Guang Quan cast a cold glance at Jiao Ye.

Jiao Ye remained suspended in the air, his expression calm, seemingly unconcerned by Meng Tianyu's return. However, with Guang Quan present, he refrained from continuing his speech.

Qu Yang stood up and cupped his fist towards Jiao Ye. “Fellow Daoist Jiao, please continue.”

Jiao Ye nodded, but before he could speak, Meng Tianyu interjected coldly, "Since when have newcomers to the Half-Immortal Domain become so arrogant?”

Qu Yang’s gaze landed on Meng Tianyu, and he asked calmly, “Who are you?”

“I am Meng Tianyu, Alliance Leader of the Seeking Immortal Alliance.” Meng Tianyu said dismissively. Even without the Heavenly Wood Vine, he didn't fear a newcomer. He refused to believe that every newcomer was as freakish as Mo Wuji.

“So you’re Meng Tianyu. Did you kill Fang Qi?” Qu Yang finished his sentence and immediately stepped forward, the blade behind him humming. “Meng Tianyu, today I, Qu Yang, challenge you. If you have the guts, come over here.”

Though Fang Qi hadn’t been killed by Meng Tianyu, how could he endure being challenged by a newcomer? He was about to step out without hesitation.

Guang Quan stopped Meng Tianyu, then cupped his fists towards the crowd. “Fellow Daoists, this is a critical time. I hope we can all unite and face this together.”

He then addressed Jiao Ye. “Alliance Leader Jiao’s words seemed unfinished. Don’t mind me. Please continue, Alliance Leader Jiao. Though I am the Domain Lord of the Half-Immortal Domain, I am on the same side as everyone else.”

Seeing Guang Quan stop Meng Tianyu, Qu Yang didn’t provoke him further and, like the others, watched Jiao Ye.

Jiao Ye cupped his fists briefly to Guang Quan and continued. “The fellow Daoist who underwent the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation in the Half-Immortal Domain earlier was called Kou Yuan. After he transcended, people from the Immortal Domain came. On the surface, they wanted to take Fellow Daoist Kou Yuan to the Immortal Domain, but in reality, they had ill intentions. Though I don’t know why they want to take away the cultivators who transcend here, it is definitely not a good thing. Fellow Daoist Kou Yuan saw through their scheme, and was chased by them, disappearing without a trace in the end...”

The crowd immediately erupted. Many had suspected something, and Jiao Ye’s words felt like a massive bomb.

For cultivators in the Half-Immortal Domain, the only way to enter the Immortal Domain was through diligent cultivation, inviting the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation.

The chances of success were slim, but it was still a hope. Hearing Jiao Ye’s words, no one could remain calm.

“Domain Lord Guang, is this true?” Someone immediately stood up to question Guang Quan, as he had been the one to receive the Immortal Domain people.

Guang Quan said dejectedly, “What Fellow Daoist Jiao said is true. I only learned about it recently as well. I came back to discuss this with everyone.”

Only Qian Yue and Meng Tianyu knew that they had been aware of this for a long time. The reason they remained here, serving the Immortal Domain, was to receive the promise of entering the Immortal Domain. But now that the Half-Immortal Domain was collapsing, forming the Immortal Chasm, the Immortal Domain cultivators had suddenly left without them, and with extreme haste. This made them realize they had been fooled.

In fact, Guang Quan and the others were overthinking things. The Immortal Domain hadn't considered abandoning them. To be honest, taking a few Half-Immortal Domain cultivators to the Immortal Domain wouldn't have much impact. But the collapse was too terrible, and the Heavenly Immortal experts from the Immortal Domain feared that the collapse would continue and affect the teleportation array. If the teleportation array was affected, they would never be able to return to the Immortal Domain.

Because of this concern, the Heavenly Immortal cultivators who came here couldn't care about Guang Quan’s thoughts. They left through the teleportation array with haste. Even when Guang Quan and the others asked when they could leave the Half-Immortal Domain, they were simply given perfunctory answers.

Many could see that Guang Quan was lying, but no one paid attention to him. Everyone was anxious about how to leave the Half-Immortal Domain.

“Fellow Daoists, I have an idea.” Jiao Ye’s words silenced the crowd once more.

When everyone was quiet, Jiao Ye continued, “Domain Lord Guang should know the location of the Immortal Domain’s teleportation array. I suggest we find the location of the teleportation array now and leave through the Immortal Domain’s teleportation array.”

“It’s useless. The teleportation array probably uses high-grade Immortal Crystals, which we don’t have. Also, the teleportation array needs to be opened from the other side before we can teleport here,” Qian Yue sighed.

“Boom boom boom!” An even louder collapse sounded, and everyone fell silent, staring at the direction of the collapse.

A cultivator finally couldn't bear it any longer and summoned his flying ship, saying, “Even if I die, I'm going to try my luck in the Immortal Chasm.”

With someone taking the lead, several others summoned their flying treasures and charged towards the Immortal Chasm.



The Immortal Crystals taken out by Mo Wuji were rapidly depleting. Mo Wuji continuously reversed his meridian cycle, trying to stabilize his body and prevent himself from falling into the depths of the Immortal Chasm.

But the suction force of the Immortal Chasm continued to increase. Mo Wuji knew very well that the deeper he went, the smaller his chances of escape became. In the end, just like in the Starry Sky Valley, he would be completely trapped. This was assuming there were no dangers below the Immortal Chasm. If there were dangers, he wouldn’t even have the hope of being trapped.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji took out a bottle of Primordial Qi restoring pills and swallowed them. All 107 meridians simultaneously reversed their cycle, frantically absorbing the surrounding Immortal Spiritual energy.

The Spiritual energy was sucked away by Mo Wuji like a vortex, and the Primordial Qi pills were rapidly converted into Primordial Energy. Feeling his Primordial Energy increase, Mo Wuji actually rose a few feet.

Mo Wuji was overjoyed. He knew that in the Immortal Chasm, without a warship, every inch was extremely difficult to gain. Now that he could rise a few feet, it meant that his method of consumption was correct. At the same time, he also noticed that his reversed meridian cycle cultivation had a counteracting effect on the pulling force from below the Immortal Chasm.

Hundreds of Immortal Crystals were consumed by Mo Wuji in a short time. Mo Wuji grabbed another few hundred Immortal Crystals. Initially, Mo Wuji still needed to put the Immortal Crystals in the cloth bag around his waist. Later on, Mo Wuji simply threw the Immortal Crystals around him. His powerful ability to absorb Immortal Spiritual energy allowed these Immortal Crystals to float around him, automatically having their Immortal Spiritual energy extracted. This Immortal Spiritual energy was then swept away by him.

Under such crazy consumption of Immortal Crystals, Mo Wuji, who was like duckweed in the Immortal Chasm, finally stabilized his body. He gradually adapted to the suction force below the Immortal Chasm. Or rather, he had a means to counteract the suction force.

The sound of the colorless leeches being burned to ashes by the flame shield continued to come from around him. Mo Wuji became even more calm.

It was difficult for others to cross the Immortal Chasm, but maybe he could really do it. Firstly, he wasn’t afraid of the colorless leeches. Secondly, he possessed the Spirit Eye. Coupled with the fact that he had now adapted to the suction force of the Immortal Chasm, as long as he could maintain it and not be surrounded by a large number of Immortal Chasm species, he had a chance to survive.

The prerequisite was that he had enough Immortal Crystals because Mo Wuji realized that he was consuming Immortal Crystals too quickly.

Fortunately, in the following period of time, Mo Wuji did not encounter an attack from a powerful monster. Under the effect of so many Immortal Crystals, even though more Immortal Crystals were consumed by Mo Wuji to deal with the suction force of the Immortal Chasm, Mo Wuji still broke through the ninth layer of the Earthly Immortal Realm and advanced to the tenth layer of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

At the moment of breaking through the tenth layer of the Earthly Immortal Realm, Mo Wuji's Primordial Energy soared, and he once again rose nearly ten feet.

Even Mo Wuji himself was filled with emotion. As expected, there were gains to be made in adversity. If he hadn’t fallen into the Immortal Chasm, how could he have had such gains? Not only had his strength skyrocketed, but his Primordial Energy had also become more condensed.

In just a few days, he had already obtained such gains. Presumably, as time passed, his gains would be even greater.

Just as Mo Wuji was feeling a sense of accomplishment, a mountain-like black shadow howled and pressed down on him.

If it were meteorites or some boulders, Mo Wuji could use his Wind Escape Technique to drift away during the gaps. Faced with this crushing black shadow, Mo Wuji immediately knew that this was not a meteorite. The powerful aura suppression made it extremely difficult for Mo Wuji to even move.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji felt as if his internal organs were being blasted out of his chest, and his entire body was sent flying like a piece of paper.

"I'm dead." This was Mo Wuji's only thought.

This was definitely not something he could contend with. His tenth layer Earthly Immortal Realm was not even an ant in front of this behemoth.

Despite knowing that he was doomed, Mo Wuji swallowed several healing pills, and his entire body used the Wind Escape Technique to drift away. At the same time, he prepared to fall into the Immortal Chasm at any moment. Falling into the Immortal Chasm was better than being swallowed by this behemoth.

"Boom!" Another terrifying impact came, and a violent hurricane swept in, sending Mo Wuji flying again.

Mo Wuji's Spiritual Will had clearly seen that the behemoth that had hit him earlier was a gray giant dragon. At this moment, this gray giant dragon was fighting with another giant dragon, and the Primordial Energy from the collision of these two dragons was not something he could resist.

These two dragons looked like two huge mountains, and any creatures around them would be blasted into debris when the two mountains fought together.

Mo Wuji was covered in cold sweat and secretly rejoicing. Perhaps in the eyes of these two dragons, he was no different from the surrounding ant-like creatures.

Although Mo Wuji knew that the corpse of either of these two dragons was priceless, Mo Wuji dared not stop here to watch the battle. He used his Wind Escape Technique to the extreme and quickly fled. Fortunately, there were two dragons. If there was only one, he might have been swallowed by the dragon long ago.

The Immortal Chasm was indeed not a place for ordinary cultivators to enter. He still needed to speed up. Otherwise, when his Immortal Crystals ran out, even if he didn't encounter this kind of giant dragon, he would have no way to survive.
