308: The place where Sanyun Tianzun fell

The Blood Wave Divine Sword was plunged into a mountain in the heart of the Sword Tomb, a mountain that had been blown apart, its spiderweb-like cracks even more extensive than those in the Land of Clefts.

Even more alarming and chilling than the Land of Clefts was the constant eruption of ground fire from the abyss, pouring onto the Blood Wave Divine Sword.

The gigantic, ten-thousand-zhang-tall Blood Wave Divine Sword had one-third of its length submerged in the molten lava.

“In this place, three Celestial Venerable Realm experts fell: Black Cloud, Purple Cloud, and Green Cloud.”

The scenes from the Legacy memory made Long Aotian's expression turn solemn as he looked at the Sword Tomb.

“Three?”

Feng Zixian was slightly surprised, “As expected of the main battlefield. If we add Yao Yun, thundercloud, Feng Yun, Sen Yun, Bing Yun, and Fire Cloud, then a total of nine Celestial Venerable Realm experts died at Senior Ao Zhan's hands on the Sky Ruins Continent!”

Long Aotian was silent for a moment before he spoke, “There are still three more of these strange Cloud Celestial Venerables that could be reverted to their original forms, making a total of twelve.”

“...This, it can't be a coincidence, can it?”

“That's why I attach so much importance to it!”

Clearly, Long Aotian did not believe this was a coincidence.

They perfectly aligned with the twelve basic elemental attributes of the Chaos Dao Body and indeed contained faint traces of Chaos Qi.

These twelve strange clouds were definitely not simple!

“...”

Seeing Feng Zixian fall silent, Long Aotian couldn't help but smile slightly, “What exactly are these twelve strange clouds with Chaos Qi, and what are their effects?

Neither of us knows.

Even in Revered Master's memories, he was completely ignorant of them. However, I believe that one day we will understand them and uncover their secrets!”

“Hmm, then let's collect them first!”

The couple began searching for the three strange clouds in the Sword Tomb.

Green Cloud and Purple Cloud were undoubtedly the easiest to find, as their color characteristics made them readily identifiable.

The most difficult, without a doubt, was Black Cloud.

The Black Wind Sea was filled with black winds, and this terrifying black wind directly affected the Sword Tomb.

If not for the continuously erupting fiery lava pouring onto the Blood Wave Divine Sword, the constant lightning strikes on the Blood Wave Divine Sword, and the echoing Sword Qi tearing through this heaven and earth—making this place like a stormy night with thunder and lightning, flickering between light and dark, allowing one to still see their outstretched hand—otherwise, the entire Sword Tomb would be completely black.

The environment was extremely harsh!

After collecting the original forms of Purple Cloud and Green Cloud Celestial Venerable, faced with the original form of Black Cloud Celestial Venerable, Long Aotian and Feng Zixian temporarily had no better way to find it.

And as long as it existed here, this heaven and earth would remain dark.

“Husband, we have both comprehended the Law of Light among the Supreme Laws. Why don't we release the power of the Law of Light and see? Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains!”

Light against darkness!

Feng Zixian thought of using a contrasting approach.

“Good!”

Long Aotian nodded in agreement without hesitation. Not to mention there were no other better methods, there might indeed be some unexpected gains.

Thus, the couple jointly used the power of the Law of Light, and for a time, a space on the dark Black Wind Sea became as bright as day.

The couple couldn't help but exchange glances, as if they had both thought of something with a tacit understanding.

What was certain was that the original form of Black Cloud Celestial Venerable was hidden somewhere in this dark world.

Their power of the Law of Light was limited; even combined, their power of the Law of Light could only cover a radius of ten thousand li. However, seeing that the power of the Law of Light could illuminate the darkness, they suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a method.

That was the most fool (stupid) method: a carpet search using the power of the Law of Light. The original form of Black Cloud Celestial Venerable was different from other black objects; it should be something that the power of the Law of Light could not penetrate.

As long as they found a black object that could not be penetrated, they would essentially have located the original form of Black Cloud Celestial Venerable.

Furthermore!

They also simultaneously ruled out the possibility of Black Cloud being on Sword Tomb Island, because Sword Tomb Island had the Blood Wave Divine Sword, and the heaven and earth were filled with Sword Qi, meaning Black Cloud would be continuously torn apart if it existed there.

The search area was thus narrowed to the Black Wind Sea!

Their deduction was undoubtedly correct.

Under a rapid carpet search, the original form of Black Cloud Celestial Venerable was quickly discovered by them. Fearing that it might consciously escape and make their efforts futile, Long Aotian quickly collected it into the First Layer Space World.

The next second!

The darkness over the Black Wind Sea suddenly weakened by dozens of times, becoming dimly lit, and then progressively brighter until the darkness dispersed and it became as bright as day, all within a mere quarter of an hour.

“Hoo!”

Feng Zixian couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling her heart relax. She said cheerfully, “The Black Wind Sea has finally returned to its original appearance. I wonder if the Black Wind Sea will still be called the Black Wind Sea in the future, without the presence of darkness?!”

“It probably will, right? After all, everyone has been accustomed to calling it that for millions of years!”

“That's true!”

“After collecting Black Cloud, the next step is to collect the Blood Wave Divine Sword. It's a good thing our physical strength has reached the Mid to Late Stage of the Divine Unblemished Realm, and not the Early Stage, otherwise we truly wouldn't be able to approach the Blood Wave Divine Sword.”

“Indeed, this Blood Wave Divine Sword seems destined to be taken by Husband, just waiting here quietly!”

As they spoke, the two flickered and approached within a million li of the blood wave.

Appearing within a million li from tens of millions of li away, the power of the Sword Qi, as they expected, continuously strengthened. This distance could only be reached by those whose physical strength had reached the Three Divine Unblemished Realm.

Feng Zixian couldn't help but feel a faint worry in her heart, and she said with a wry smile, “Husband, I don't know if my current physical strength at the Six Divine Unblemished Realm can endure until I reach the Blood Wave Divine Sword?!

I originally thought my physical strength reaching the Divine Unblemished Realm in this Lower Realm was already strong enough, but I never expected the Blood Wave Divine Sword to make me lose confidence...”

“...”
