Chapter 1193 – Have you ever heard of the Sandy Abyss?
Xu Chuniang collected her mind, held a cracked and slit Extreme Magic Crystal in each hand, and resumed her cultivation.
Whether it was the Golden Armor King with his unpredictable mind, or the Greedy Wolf and Mercy Star far away in the North, they were all powerful existences that she had to deal with.
She had just broken through to the Heavenly Demon Realm not many years ago, and within a short period of time, her cultivation should not be raised too quickly.
Originally, she was in no hurry to break through, but the appearance of the Golden Armored King gave Xu Chuniang a sense of crisis and forced her to change her plans temporarily.
There were no years in cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.
After twelve long years of seclusion, and after consuming a huge amount of top-grade magic crystals and ten extreme-grade magic crystals, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation, finally broke through to the Heavenly Demon Middle Realm.
Calculating the time, in a few more years, the smoothing period would be upon them, and it would be time to come out of seclusion.
Twelve years ago, the Golden Armored King had explained to her that she should honestly shut down in the city and properly comprehend the Huan Yu Sphere.
She had obediently remained in seclusion for so long, so she thought that the other party would be satisfied.
The corner of Xu Chuniang’s mouth curved up in an arc, which then faded away in an instant.
She pushed open the door of the cultivation room and stepped out from the room where she was in seclusion, looking at the yellow sands in the distance, her mood one of calmness after settling down.
She took out the scales left behind by the Golden Armor King and punched a demonic thought into them.
“My lord, I’ve come out of seclusion.”
After avoiding the Golden Armor King for so many years in the name of seclusion, it was time to face him again.
Three days later, Xu Chuniang received a reply from the Golden Armored King, “Come to the Golden Que Palace.”
The Golden Que Palace was the Golden Armor King’s residence, although not as tall and eye-catching as the Corner Tower, it was also one of the most magnificent and solemn in the sandy city where every inch of land was gold.
Just as Xu Chuniang arrived at the Golden Que Palace, someone came forward attentively and welcomed her in.
“His Excellency has already instructed, you are free to enter and exit the Golden Que Palace.”
Xu Chunniang walked through the long corridor and stepped into the main hall, and before she waited long, the Golden Armor King came walking in style, his gaze looking at her with great meaning.
“You’ve finally come out of the gate.”
Xu Chunniang’s tone was apologetic, “The Huan Yu Orb gifted by Your Excellency was too subtle, and I was so involved in my enlightenment that I forgot about the hour, so please don’t blame Your Excellency.”
Hearing her explanation, the Golden Armored King could not see any joy or anger on his face, and only faintly said, “After being in seclusion for so long, you must have gained quite a lot, and let me see how much you have grown.”
As his words fell, the air rippled slightly, and the surrounding space was distorted into several layers, trapping Xu Chuniang firmly within it.
The Golden Armored King looked indifferently at the multiple spaces that were constantly reorganizing and fusing in front of him, thinking carelessly that after twelve years of seclusion, if she couldn’t even cope with this small scene, it was enough to prove the low level of her enlightenment, and that if she died, she would die.
Xu Chuniang, who was trapped in the multiple spaces, surveyed the constantly changing space fragments around her, her face a bland expression.
The Golden Armored King had struck extremely quickly, not leaving her much time to react before trapping her.
But with these several layers of space in front of her, it wasn’t difficult for her.
It was just that she had to think about when and in what way she should get out of the trap, in order to satisfy the Golden Armored King without causing him to be wary.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the multiple spaces that trapped her, not deliberately trying to dodge the attacks, letting the constantly reorganizing spatial power leave a striking wound on her body.
When she was in seclusion, she had spent two years comprehending the Huan Yu Sphere, and had long since realized the changes in it.
In just a few short breaths, she had already thought of several ways to get out of the trap, and in the end, she chose the simplest and seemingly dumbest one.
Xu Chuniang activated the Chaotic True Qi in her body, transformed the spatial laws, and raised her hand to send it into the innermost layer of space, causing it to gradually regain stability from its chaotic state. After the innermost layer of space was stabilized, she proceeded to stabilize the other layers of space from the inside out.
After three days of this, the five layers of chaotic space that trapped her were completely stabilized and no longer reorganized and fused with the ground.
At this point, Xu Chuniang finally escaped from the siege without incident.
“Taking three days to get out is not too slow of an action, it’s just that this method you used …… lacks variation.”
The Golden Armored King looked calm, his expression could not be seen as satisfied, nor could he claim to be disappointed.
Xu Chuniang lowered her head with a shameful expression, “I only realized a stupid method, letting your lord down.”
“Although the method is dull and stupid, but you were able to successfully get out of the five-tiered chaotic space, taking only three days, which is not bad at all.”
After praising a sentence or two, the Golden Armored King suddenly changed his words, “I wonder if you’ve heard of the existence of the Sandy Abyss?”
“Sandy Abyss?”
Xu Chuniang searched her mind for these two words and shook her head after finding nothing, “Never heard of it.”
The Golden Armored King said in a faint voice, “The existence of the Sand Abyss is like the heart of the Imprisoned Sand Mountain, and this Imprisoned Sand Mountain that stretches for countless thousands of miles, as well as the sand beasts in the mountain, are all due to the Sand Abyss.”
Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a strange color, “This is the first time I’ve heard of this, so this Sand Abyss, I’m sure it’s not a good place, right?”
“Not bad.”
The Golden Armored King nodded approvingly, “The laws in this Sandy Abyss are chaotic, filled with a great deal of temporal and spatial turbulence, and ordinarily, even Demon King level powerhouses are unable to easily set foot in it.
Only after each dust storm, the Sand Abyss can usher in a short period of stability.”
Xu Chuniang pondered, “Your Excellency means that the dust storm turbulence in this Prisoner Sand Mountain is caused by this Sand Abyss?”
The Golden Armored King nodded slightly, “After each dust storm, the Prisoner Sand Mountain will experience a smooth period ranging from ten to twenty years, and often, this is the best time to enter the Sand Abyss.”
“Your Excellency mentioned these, could it be that the Dust Storm Turbulence is coming?”
“You are not stupid.”
The Golden Armored King looked at her approvingly, “In two years at most, the agitation of the Sand Abyss will trigger the Dust Storm Turbulence in the entire Imprisoned Sand Mountain, but there is no way to predict when the Dust Storm Turbulence will descend on Sand City.”
When the dust storm turbulence descended on Sand City, for the ordinary Heavenly Demon Realm cultivators in the city, it would then be another devastating disaster.
“Your Excellency is telling me all of this, but is there something you can use me for?”
“For the trip to the Sand Abyss after the Dust Storm Turbulence, I intend to bring you along.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t hide the surprise on her face, “Didn’t Your Excellency say that only Demon King-level powerhouses are qualified to set foot in the Sand Abyss? With my cultivation, I’m afraid I’m not qualified?”
“What are you afraid of? With me leading you, I won’t let you go without a return, the Sandy Abyss is filled with a large number of high-level laws, a little bit of enlightenment can benefit a person a lot, and even direct breakthroughs are possible.
You’re not going to tell me that you’re not interested in these, right?”
Xu Chuniang’s face showed hesitation, “Naturally, I am interested… I’m more than happy that Your Excellency is willing to take me to the Sandy Abyss, I’m only afraid that my low cultivation will drag Your Excellency back.”
“There’s no need to be presumptuous, you were able to get out of the five-tiered chaotic space within three days, even though the method is a bit stupid, it’s enough to see your talent in this path.
The Sandy Abyss has a special environment and temporal turbulence is everywhere, if you travel with me, you might be able to help me.”
