WALKING BY THE ABYSS ON THIN ICE - Chapter 379: The power of the fairy seal

Chapter 379: The power of the fairy seal

Unknowingly, Su Yun walked on the water dragon for more than ten days, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day. Ying Ying also finished telling the story of the exploration of the Imperial Court by the old god king in the jade slip.

The Imperial Court is a very large and dangerous place. It was sealed by the old god king with his own power, but in those years, there were bursts of immortal light, colorful and beautiful, like a fairyland.

What’s even more peculiar is that there are floating spirit realms there.

The old god king once accidentally entered a few spirit realms, where there were sun, moon, and stars, as well as exotic kingdoms, like complete small worlds. Over those worlds, there were huge treasures floating in the sky, emitting a powerful and intimidating aura, which made him feel fearful!

The people there didn’t even know that they were living in a spirit realm, thinking that the sky was round and the earth was square, and that the world’s edge was a deep abyss where the sea fell.

When they saw the old god king arrive, the people there were very surprised and asked where he came from. The old god king told them that there was a world beyond their world, and the people were all shocked.

“The old god king advised them to leave with him, after all, the spirit realm is not the real world, but just a place where the spirits of ancient powers reside, and it could collapse at any time. However, the people there refused.”

Ying Ying paused here and asked, “Su Scholar, do you know why the people there refused him?”

Su Yun shook his head.

Ying Ying said, “The people there said, ‘Our world is not the real world and could be destroyed at any time. How do you know that your world is the real world? How do you know that your world won’t be destroyed at any time?'”

Su Yun’s scalp tingled, feeling a chilling sensation that struck his heart.

Ying Ying continued, “The old god king wanted to refute them, but suddenly thought of the calamity that could destroy the world, burying the world in drifting disaster dust, which was no different from what the people living in the spirit realm said. He was horrified and even doubted the reality of his own world.”

Su Yun’s eyes twitched, and his voice hoarse, “And our world also has similar treasures, like the immortal sword, the immortal sword hanging on the Beimian Great Wall. Are these treasures floating in the spirit realms similar to those? Ying Ying, do the people in these spirit realms have to undergo Tribulation Crossing when they leave this spirit realm?”

Ying Ying shook her head, “It’s not mentioned in the jade slip. But the jade slip mentioned some other things.”

Su Yun’s expression changed unpredictably. If the people in the spirit realms needed to undergo Tribulation Crossing to leave the spirit realm, then he really had to doubt the reality of their current world!

The old god king couldn’t have failed to think of this, but it wasn’t mentioned in the jade slip, which was quite strange and made Su Yun feel uneasy.

Ying Ying continued.

In these spirit realms, there were treasures left behind by ancient powers, and the old god king was very envious, but these treasures were used to support the immortality of these spirit realms, so he didn’t take them.

However, he also found other interesting things. From the unknown of the spirit realms left by the ancient powers, he could see the realm of the ancient powers. He saw the structure of these spirit realms, which was very different from the realm division at that time.

Su Yun was inexplicably excited and exclaimed, “This is a huge treasure trove! If the talents of my Tongtian Pavilion enter those spirit realms, they will definitely be able to open up realms higher than the original realm!”

Ying Ying poured cold water on his excitement and said, “But obviously, the old god king is not a talent of the Tongtian Pavilion. Although he thought of this, he did not study it in depth. He left these spirit realms and continued to move forward, entering the depths of the Imperial Court. He saw the surging immortal light in the Imperial Court, which was charming but full of danger.”

Su Yun was impatient and wished to pull the old god king out of his grave and ask him where the Imperial Court was.

“These immortal lights are like crystals transformed from colored glaze, constantly rotating and changing, turning into different forms of crystals.”

Ying Ying said, “For one of these immortal lights, the old god king almost lost his life. But he finally got hold of this immortal light. He tried to refine it, but the immortal light remained motionless. He couldn’t find the use of the immortal light, so he had to treasure it in his own spirit realm.”

The old god king encountered many dangers on the way, but he had seen a lot of the world, and this kind of thing had happened many times, so this time he turned danger into safety.

Finally, he came to the deepest part of the Imperial Court, where he saw the most magnificent and majestic palace in the world.

In this palace, he met the owner of the Tiandong Cave, an immortal.

Su Yun was excited to hear this.

“Dead.”

Ying Ying continued, “A deceased immortal.”

Su Yun was disappointed, but then his spirits rose again and he laughed, “A dead immortal is still an immortal. By the way, how did this immortal die?”

Ying Ying said, “That’s not known. The old god king boldly came to the deceased immortal, but saw that the immortal had no eyes, his chest was open, and his heart had been taken out, which was extremely tragic. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw the immortal suddenly sit up.”

Su Yun laughed heartily, “Ying Ying, you must be trying to scare me, aren’t you?”Ying Ying shook her head. “That’s how it’s written on the jade slip. The immortal sat up straight, reached out, and took the old god king’s heart, then stuffed it into his own abdomen. The old god king struggled to escape and burst out of the imperial court. He knew he had no heart and had no chance of survival, but he was also worried that future generations would find the imperial court and release the immortal’s corpse, so he used the immortal arts he had learned to seal it. After that, he sewed up his belly and calmly arranged his own affairs.”

Ying Ying put the jade slip in a jade box and said, “That’s the old god king’s adventure. It’s a very exciting story!”

The little book monster was very satisfied and energetic, indicating that it had eaten its fill.

Su Yun was astonished and asked, “Is that the end?”

Ying Ying nodded and said, “The story is over, but the old god king recorded many runes in the jade slip. These runes are the immortal words he copied from the four major forbidden areas of the Illusion Heaven, the Back Court, the Suspended Coffin, and the Imperial Court.”

The little book monster made a great effort to activate its divine power, and a third eye suddenly appeared on its forehead. This eye opened, and a screen of light flew out, reflecting many strange characters.

“Some of the characters are the same as those on the immortal scroll!” Su Yun exclaimed.

The Tower of Heaven was in the process of deciphering the characters on the immortal scroll, but the characters recorded by the old god king were even more complex, and strangely, the forms of the characters were constantly changing.

Some of the characters were exactly the same as the form of the immortal scroll!

Su Yun took out the immortal scroll from the moon and compared the characters forming the immortal scroll with those recorded by the old god king. A look of surprise appeared on his face.

He scratched his head and muttered, “Ying Ying, it seems that there are some different forms of the immortal scroll here. I thought all immortal scrolls were the same…”

Ying Ying also noticed that the old god king had recorded three different forms of the immortal scroll, but each one was more complex than the immortal scroll in Su Yun’s hands, and it seemed that they also had different functions.

A piece of land appeared in front of them. Su Yun saw this and walked onto the land to take a rest, saying, “The immortal scrolls my mothers encountered before were a total of three. This one from the Moon Palace, one under the Northern Crown Great Wall, and Luo Wanyi’s. The other two have been destroyed, leaving only mine. These three immortal scrolls are all the same.”

Ying Ying flew to an old tree with many bright red wild fruits hanging on it and said, “Although the immortal scrolls are the same, different activation methods can produce different effects.”

Su Yun nodded in agreement.

Activating the immortal scroll with the Seven-Faced Heavenly Gate can summon the Chaotic Sea and a large cauldron, while activating it with the Eight-Faced Heavenly Gate can summon the Northern Crown Great Wall and the Suspended Coffin.

Activating it with the Ninety-Six Divine Demons can summon the world they are in to another paradise!

Also, summoning with the Four Immortal Palace Altar may summon an immortal sword, and it may even be used to kill!

The immortal scroll may have other uses, but Su Yun has not explored them yet.

And now, he has found three other types of immortal scrolls in the notes left by the old god king!

What other functions do these three types of immortal scrolls have?

Su Yun closed his eyes and visualized the form of the first immortal scroll, spreading his fingers to construct the characters on the immortal scroll with his true essence.

As he visualized, the immortal scroll gradually became real.

Ying Ying opened her mouth and bit into a red wild fruit. The fruit suddenly let out a miserable scream, extremely piercing.

Ying Ying was startled and saw the fruit suddenly turn around, revealing a square face with furrowed eyebrows. “Why did you bite my butt?” it asked.

Ying Ying was startled again and quickly threw the fruit away, only to see the fruit spread its thin wings and shout, “She bit my butt!”

All the red fruits on the tree turned around and faced her, showing their sharp teeth like barbs.

Ying Ying was horrified and said loudly, “Su Scholar, I think what we’re encountering may be even more bizarre than the old god king. We’d better leave!”

The fruits on the tree suddenly fell off and flew into the air, shouting, “Humans have come! It’s been a long time since humans came!”

They pulled out “spears” that were two fingers long from somewhere and threw them at Ying Ying. She hurriedly flew away to avoid them, and a group of square-faced little monsters chased after her aggressively.

Ying Ying activated her divine power, but the little monsters were not afraid at all. The spears, whatever they were, could pierce through divine power.

Ying Ying was horrified and dared not lead them to Su Yun, so she fought desperately with these square-faced little monsters. However, more and more little monsters surged onto the island, and these little monsters disguised as fruits were hanging all over the island, moving towards her when the wind blew.

Ying Ying fought and retreated, thinking to herself, “If you force me, I will summon the spirit of the saint to destroy you!”

Millions of little monsters had already surrounded Ying Ying and were about to make a meal of her, when suddenly an inexplicable tremor spread out. n(.o-.v((e–l)-b–1)(n

The little monsters screamed and scattered, flying to the trees and hanging on them, hugging their bodies with their red wings, pretending to be fruits.

Ying Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but the terrifying and oppressive tremor became stronger and stronger, and the sky gradually darkened.

Between the sky and the sea, the terrifying world energy whistled and converged, forming a hurricane and thunder, gathering towards the island where Ying Ying was sitting!

“Crack!”

A thunderbolt struck the sea, and the sea exploded with a rumble, and the lightning shone everywhere!Ying Ying hurried to the seaside, only to see Su Yun extending his palm on the sandy beach, with immortal scripts forming the shape of an immortal talisman, circulating endlessly in his palm.

As the immortal talisman circulated, the storm and thunder intensified.

Ying Ying was almost blown off her feet by the fierce wind, quickly landing and struggling to walk towards Su Yun.

She inadvertently looked up and saw the surging qi of heaven and earth forming a gigantic palm imprint in the sky, with the shape of an immortal talisman’s runes spanning about a hundred miles in the center of the palm!

“It’s Scholar Su!”

Ying Ying was shocked and shouted loudly, “Scholar Su, stop! Stop!”

Su Yun turned a deaf ear, the palm imprint in the sky growing more substantial, the thunder more concentrated, and the qi of heaven and earth increasingly terrifying. Eventually, the thunderous sounds converged, faintly forming a strange, deep, and resonant chanting.

Su Yun also chanted along, as if in the language of another world!

Ying Ying braced against the fierce wind and walked towards him, shouting, “Wake up! Wake up!”

The island beneath their feet also trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse.

Suddenly, Su Yun’s eyes snapped open, and the terrifying phenomena in the sky instantly dissipated, the wild wind ceased, and the clouds scattered.

Ying Ying breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Scholar Su, what were you doing just now? That was terrifying!”

Su Yun was also shaken, fear evident in his eyes, and said, “I was just learning this first immortal talisman. As I was perfecting it, I suddenly felt terrified, as if I saw an immortal sword. I felt the immortal sword targeting me, and out of fear, the immortal talisman dispersed.”

Ying Ying said angrily, “You inadvertently mobilized the power of heaven and earth, exceeding the limits this world can bear, triggering the immortal sword! If it hadn’t dispersed, the immortal sword would have cut you down!”

Su Yun chuckled and said, “Is it really that scary?”

“Don’t believe me? Ask them!” Ying Ying casually pointed to the bright red “fruits” on the tree, and the “fruits” nodded in agreement.

“We were scared to death!”

The “fruits” lamented, “We didn’t even have the chance to devour the little girl!”
