A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1132 - 1118: Hidden Power
In the next three days.
Baiyu went through many ancient books and asked other attendants how they had reached the Moon Gazing Realm before.
But this question also had no answer.
The path of cultivation varies from person to person.
However, it’s never wrong to enhance the Power of Destruction within the body.
On the morning of the third day.
Baiyu arrived early at the Holy Rock Cathedral.
Soon he met the team going to open the Spirit Realm passage this time.
Besides him.
There were also Loloya, Machima, Isabelle, and Ali.
Qian Xin and Lilith needed to stay behind in the city to prevent any unnecessary accidents.
Their abilities.
Were more suitable for staying in the city rather than going out to explore.
"Let’s go."
Seeing everyone gathered, Machima directly unfurled a scroll exuding spirituality, then the scroll shattered into countless light particles, holding the five people and making them instantly disappear from the Holy Rock Cathedral.
When the five reopened their eyes, they were already at the bottom of the sea.
The surroundings were extremely dark.
Standing on the seabed, Baiyu’s Blood Qi automatically surged out, forming a protective shield around him that automatically expelled the water.
Although underwater his movements weren’t hindered, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"The Spirit Realm entrance is just ahead. We detected it with instruments, but Qian Xin foretold there are considerable dangers below, so we must be careful."
Loloya warned Baiyu cautiously.
Then.
The team began to advance in the pitch-black seabed, silent, with no one speaking.
Reaching a certain point.
Loloya stopped, her body radiating golden light, like a small sun illuminating the murky seabed with unparalleled clarity.
With the light emitted by Loloya.
Baiyu clearly saw the surrounding situation.
Aside from the silt-laden seabed, clusters of green aquatic plants surrounded them. At this depth, even marine life was scarce.
No wonder this place had never been discovered.
Such a hidden location, without careful exploration, would basically remain undiscovered.
In front of the five.
A pitch-black cave appeared.
It resembled a water well, filled with the deepest darkness, and even the light shining from Loloya’s body could only illuminate a short distance.
Loloya walked ahead alone.
The surroundings were utterly silent.
The entire team felt as if they were walking in a land forgotten by the world, with the encroaching darkness arousing an inevitable sense of fear in Baiyu’s heart.
This fear wasn’t because he was truly scared.
But stemmed from instinct.
From the most primal, instinctual fear of humanity’s Sea of Spirit.
Baiyu took a deep breath.
There was something wrong with the darkness inside this cave!
Not only him, but the others also recognized the unusual situation within the cave.
Just then.
Baiyu’s eyes focused, and he snapped his fingers with his right hand. A flame rose from his hand.
Under the flame’s illumination, the surroundings became somewhat brighter.
"Isabelle is missing."
With Baiyu’s movement affecting them, Machima turned around and said with a serious expression.
The advancing team halted.
Machima and Ali released their spiritualities without reservation, sweeping around, the immense, terrifying power causing the surrounding seawater to boil and churn.
However.
The two found no trace of Isabelle.
As if she never existed, she disappeared without a trace. The power that made an attendant vanish like this left the remaining four standing silently in place.
The ability to make Isabelle disappear.
Also meant that any one of the remaining four could disappear.
"What should we do, continue forward or retreat?"
Ali broke the silence in the darkness.
Loloya emitted gentle golden light: "My intuition tells me that if we leave like this, Isabelle might remain lost forever.
And Qian Xin’s divination clearly stated.
Though there are certain dangers here, it’s not life-threatening, nor can it silently kill us."
Loloya’s meaning was clear.
To rescue Isabelle, they must continue to advance.
At their level, intuition was akin to another form of divination, and would not arise without reason.
The team swiftly regrouped and continued their journey.
Loloya tied everyone’s right hand with golden light ribbons. This way, even if someone disappeared, others would immediately feel it, preventing the information void left by Isabelle’s disappearance.
The four cautiously continued towards the discovered Spirit Realm passage.
After walking for a while.
Baiyu clearly felt the surrounding darkness deepen, and suddenly, something flickered within that darkness.
Thud...
This time, the four distinctly sensed the anomaly.
As if the sound of a heartbeat echoed in their ears, they simultaneously felt their own heartbeats skip a beat, and then, Ali’s figure suddenly paused, and she began to disappear slowly from top to bottom, like being erased by an invisible eraser.
During this process.
Baiyu and Machima attempted to halt it, but no method worked.
It was an irreversible process.
And within this process, Ali tried hard to stir her spirituality, as if leaving some message for the three.
But in the end, she left no trace.
Before their eyes, she vanished.
For a moment.
Loloya and Machima both furrowed their brows, expressions extremely serious.
Baiyu said in a deep voice, "When Ali disappeared, I heard a heartbeat-like sound.
I think her disappearance is related to that sound.
Moreover.
When the sound emerged, the surrounding darkness changed; the anomaly here is periodic, not continuous."
The two had no objections.
Machima said, "Let’s proceed, Isabelle and Ali aren’t in life-threatening danger, only trapped in some strange state. I vaguely grasped something, but can’t confirm it now. If I am the next to vanish, I will share my knowledge with you two."
Loloya nodded and continued forward.
At this point, retreat was impossible, as they couldn’t ensure it wouldn’t harbor the same peril.
The three moved on.
About ten minutes later, thud, the same massive heartbeat sounded again.
The surrounding darkness intensified in an instant.
Machima was startled, bound by an invisible force, then her body vanished like Ali’s, inch by inch.
But during this process.
Machima’s body suddenly split and reappeared elsewhere in the cave.
A clone!
Though her true form kept disappearing, she managed to use her spirituality to convey a message to Baiyu and Loloya:
"This is the power of a Divine Spirit, relating to a secretive Divine Spirit."
