Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 365: The Great Elder Returns

“Like me, its ancestors also gave birth to a level 10 being.”

After the gray giant ape disappeared, the black tortoise delivered another message: "As long as a spiritual beast tribe has produced a level 10 supreme being, even if this supreme being dies, the bloodline of the entire tribe will be sublimated."

“There will be some descendants of blood who can follow the marks left by their ancestors, follow their ancestors’ path to success, and go through hardships to advance to level ten again.”

"It and I are both equally lucky."

Black Turtle said in a serious tone, "And he was one step faster than me."

Pang Jian was stunned.

The gray ape in his memory was very different from the previous gray giant ape.

"It is very powerful. It can sense the extremely cold ice veins buried beneath the frozen land." Black Turtle said again.

Pang Jian's mind moved, and he couldn't help but think of the scene at Wulan Lake, where the water froze into solid ice in an instant as the strange fog spread.

Bagua City appeared just beneath the icy surface of the lake.

"You mean, its bloodline is similar to that of the Ice Clan?" Pang Jian asked.

"Yes."

The black tortoise responded immediately: "My bloodline is close to the earth. The thunder dragon on the Holy Spirit Continent is naturally suitable for swallowing thunder and lightning. The legendary Yuan Snake seems to be naturally close to water, and its gray ape ancestor must have comprehended the secret of ice and cold, and thus promoted to the tenth level of strength."

"Where is Tianfeng?" Pang Jian asked again.

"In the memory of my bloodline, the Phoenix... is also called the Bright Phoenix."

"bright!"

Pang Jian was shocked.

"Our history in Purgatory is longer than your human race and the alien races in the fifth realm. My ancestors, the memories imprinted in my blood, tell me that we were the masters of Purgatory in the past."

"The alien races and the human race are all ethnic groups that emerged after us."

The black tortoise said proudly.

Hearing this, Pang Jian was shocked again.

"I feel that something must have happened in the Holy Spirit Continent, which attracted it to go there." The black tortoise was a little anxious, "I must upgrade my bloodline to level eight as soon as possible. Only then will I dare to go over and take a look."

Afterwards, the black turtle no longer responded to Pang Jian's doubts.

Half an hour later.

Under the white clouds, Pang Jian released his golden soul to withstand the strong wind.

The knife-sharp gale can tear apart the Blood Moon's Wuding Ferry and the Tianling Pagoda of the Yinling Temple.

His soul floated in the strong wind, and he felt as if it was being cut by a sharp blade.

Soon, his soul became like a golden statue covered with cracks.

He sank his spirit and soul into his sea of consciousness, and it transformed into a huge golden pot in his sea of consciousness.

Spiritual power, qi and blood power, and life force were mobilized and used to temper the golden pot with secret techniques.

The golden pot seemed to be baked by flames condensed from spiritual power, qi and blood, and life force, as if it had been recast. Not only did the cracks disappear, but it also became even more brilliant.

Afterwards, the restored soul flew away from the body again and continued to sink into the depths of the strong wind below.

This goes on over and over again.

His golden soul was first torn and injured by the strong wind, and then it was tempered again with the secret technique recorded in the "Hutian Yangqi Jue", becoming stronger and stronger.

Later, Pang Jian had a strange feeling that his soul was gradually turning from illusion into reality.

"In the realm of nirvana, the soul is a physical object, just like the flesh and blood body."

As he said this, he had already appeared in the cave of Li Tian Peak in the form of a black tortoise shell.

Taking out the sword order, his consciousness fell into the sword light symbol of communication, and he received the message from Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan, and learned that the two of them and the small group had entered the third realm.

After entering the third realm, there was no more news from Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan.

In another sword light symbol, information about the general situation of the world poured in like raindrops.

In the third realm, filthy alien forces began to spread!

When he was using the strong wind to temper his soul, the war between the human race and the alien races from the fifth realm officially began!

The human race won a great victory in the first wave of confrontation with alien races!

Qiantian Continent, Xuanyou Continent, and the fragmented lands of the third realm.

The armies of the three great divine kingdoms, with their practitioners, and the large and small teams formed by the major forces, relying on their excellent equipment and ships, encircle and suppress the alien races and ferocious beasts that dare to show up.

The first batch of alien races, infected by foul alien forces, rushed to the third realm and were hit head-on by all sides of the human race.

The killing array built on the broken ground, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder buried in the dangerous place, the Earth Crack Thunder, the Meteorite Fire Stone, the Sky Poison Miasma...

The numerous terrifying weapons from the first realm's divine kingdom and sects exploded with such power that the alien warriors' blood flowed like a river, and the corpses of the aliens and ferocious beasts piled up like a mountain.

The human race is in high spirits!

Many warships of the Kingdom of God boldly crossed the thick leaden clouds and sank towards the broken land of the fourth realm.

It was under such circumstances that Qi Qingsong, Zhuang Yuyan and others, with the idea of getting a piece of the pie, joined other members of that small group and entered the third realm to look for Hu Yuanfei.

"The alien race is definitely not that weak. Something is wrong."

Pang Jian frowned and looked at the list of honors.

There was still no one familiar to him on the Dongxuan Realm list.

On the list of the Concentrated Mind Realm, Wu Yuan has entered the top ten, ranking ninth, and his contribution value has reached two thousand five.

Zhou Qingchen actually surpassed Dong Tianze and ranked 17th.

Dong Tianze was ranked twenty-fifth, while Zhao Yuanqi was ranked outside the top fifty.

In the Soul Wandering Realm ranking, Li Yuqing is now third, and his contribution value remains unchanged.

His second senior sister, Hu Yuanfei, dropped one place from fifth to sixth.

"Number one in Soul Wandering Realm, Jiuli Sect, Zhou Yi."

"The second in Soul Wandering Realm, Taiyi Divine Kingdom, Fanchen."

"The fourth in the Soul Wandering Realm, Yuan Qing Divine Kingdom, Liu Youyu."

Pang Jian said silently.

As he was also at the Soul Wandering Realm, he secretly memorized these unfamiliar names in his heart.

Li Yuqing, who has such terrifying combat power, has had his contribution value remain unchanged recently. He has been surpassed by Zhou Yi and Fan Chen, which makes Pang Jian feel a little strange.

Having witnessed how powerful Li Yuqing was, he didn't believe that Zhou Yi and Fan Chen would be stronger than Li Yuqing in the Soul Wandering Realm.

"Nothing will happen, will it?"

Pang Jian felt a little worried.

At this moment, a message came from Chen Weihuang: "Jiang Ran is back."

"Grand Elder?"

"Since you are here, come to the top of the mountain."

"good!"

Pushing open the stone door of the cave, Pang Jian arrived at the top of Li Tian Peak.

Chen Weihuang's face was gloomy. He turned his back to Pang Jian and looked towards Tianmen Peak, saying, "He also brought outsiders in."

Pang Jian looked in the direction and immediately saw a ship similar in shape to the Armor-Breaking Ship, with the words "Haotian Divine Kingdom" hanging on it, quietly anchored at Tianmen Peak.

Zhou Wenhao and Su Li, with excited looks, greeted a tall old man with white hair and a youthful face.

The man looked younger than Zhou Wenhao, but his eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes. He was talking to his two disciples with a gentle smile.

Also at Tianmen Peak.

The three elders, Lu Xiaolin, Shi Bingyun and Cai Xin, bowed to him from a distance and prepared to come up and reminisce after he had exchanged greetings with his two disciples.

But he laughed and shouted in a loud voice: "Are you all okay?"

"Good! Everything is fine!"

"I just miss my brother all the time!"

"I'm glad you're back."

The three elders responded quickly.

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Ran laughed.

He then looked at the other hilltops, where Liu Junhong, Xu Wei, Guanghe, and Wang Ce were standing, and asked, "Why, don't you welcome me back?"

"You are the elder of the Sword Tower. We welcome you back anytime." Liu Junhong looked unhappy and said, "But you shouldn't let ships from the outside world enter our Sword Tower!"

"Brother Jiang, one of the rules of our Sword Tower is that we never allow external ships to dock inside the Sword Tower!" Wang Ce also said, "Especially, the several peaks that represent the majesty of our Sword Tower, we do not allow ships from other sects to stay here!"

Xu Wei and Guanghe also glared at each other.

"At my Tianmen Peak, I can make any ship stop at my will."

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, ignoring the four elders' attempts to stop him, and said, "Brother Jinghong, Brother Tunyun, please come in!"

"Marquis Jinghong! Marquis Tunyun!"

More disciples from the Sword Tower who were paying attention to the movements on the hilltops suddenly screamed in surprise.

In the Haotian Divine Kingdom, Marquis Jinghong and Marquis Tunyun, two of the three great divine marquises, are marquises as famous as Marquis Pojia Li Wei, and they are both extremely powerful figures in the Haotian Divine Kingdom.

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome."

A tall and straight man in a purple and gold dragon robe stepped out of the warship first.

He stood beside Jiang Ran, looked at Elder Wang Ce with a stern expression, and said, "I am Zhu Jinghong!"

Without much introduction, he just said his name.

Another man, wearing golden armor, also landed from the ship and said to Wang Ce with a smile, "Huang Tunyun!"

He was a little short in stature, but the golden armor on his body exuded a strong smell of blood. He had a pair of light golden eyes, and when he looked at people, he was like a ferocious beast aiming at its prey.

"Is this the Sword Tower?"

"See? That building floating in the air is the most famous sword building in Purgatory!"

"Legend has it that the Sword Tower was once the most powerful sect in Purgatory. In its heyday, it overwhelmed all the divine kingdoms in our East."

"Well, during the Sword Tower's strongest period, there were five Sword Gods. Even the God Kings of the Kingdom of Gods in the East during that period could not defeat the Sword Tower."

"It's a pity that such a powerful sword tower has fallen to this day."

"… "

Behind Marquis Jinghong and Marquis Tunyun, a group of inestimable young men showed their heads one after another, lay on the edge of the boat, looked up at the sword tower, and pointed and talked.

Zhu Jinghong and Huang Tunyun turned their heads to look at them, then shook their heads and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Jiang!"

Wang Ce was furious and accused him bluntly: "Our Sword Tower is not a famous historical site for people to visit! Anyone, any sect or faction who enters or leaves the Sword Tower must abide by our rules! And you!"

"With Li Zhaotian not here, all important matters in the Sword Tower should be decided by me." Jiang Ran smiled indifferently.

He ignored Wang Ce's scolding and said after a moment's silence, "Elders, go to the main hall to discuss matters immediately! Since Li Zhaotian is not here, I will preside over it!"

After saying this, he took out a broken sword tip and raised it gently.

A bright sword light suddenly shone out from the tip of the sword.

When Wang Ce and others saw the tip of the sword, their expressions changed slightly.

Shi Bingyun and others who obeyed his orders brightened their eyes.
