Chapter 2558: Chapter 121: The Grand Red Lanterns Hang High
The so-called divine skills of those Earth Demon messengers are all blessings granted by him, the Divine Master, which are manifestations of external techniques from the World Without Life. Although fundamentally fake and lacking the true power of divine skills, their simple acquisition and significant combat power enhancement greatly accelerated the expansion of the sect, swelling the overall strength of the Church of Lifeless.
One could say that he has developed the Qiankun rope to its limits; it is a secret within secrets, rarely shown to others. Only previously laid out in Wei Country’s Late Mulberry Town, did he use the Qiankun rope to assist in the past life, guiding a residual soul once.
At this moment, upon seeing Ge Fei’s intent to act, he immediately used the Qiankun rope to flee, completely indifferent to the exposure of his divine skill information, like a startled bird.
Of course, it’s not that he truly fears anything.
Although Ge Fei of Yue Country exceeded his expectations, it wasn’t enough to make him fearful.
He dared to scheme against the Bone Respecting God, what does a mere godly cultivator count for?
However, at the critical juncture of crossing the life and death tribulation, he needs to avoid "accidents" as much as possible. After all, this is Yue Country, and Yue Country still has two True Men. Any "accidents" occurring in this country have the potential to overturn his plans.
So he decided not to mind Ge Fei’s recklessness, opting to leave this place in the safest manner possible.
If he waits for Yue Country to activate the National Defense Great Formation, even though he possesses the Qiankun rope, he won’t be able to escape the way from this world. By that time, the barrier of this world would have been replaced by the prison cage of the National Defense Great Formation.
Moreover, if he escapes into the world crevice and Yue Country immediately activates the National Defense Great Formation, he would be pinned within the proximity of Yue Country, waiting to be discovered and captured. This is also why, during the calamity in Wei Country, he only used the Qiankun rope after escaping the borders of Wei Country.
Today is different.
He only killed Bai Pingfu, and under Ge Fei’s watchful eyes at that. He doesn’t want to make a scene, and the other party seems disinclined as well. He has to suspect it has something to do with internal power struggles within Yue Country.
To escape the targeting of the hidden aspect behind Ge Fei, the world crevice is a natural barrier, and the Qiankun rope is the best choice.
If we disregard the influence of the Netherworld gods, the Netherworld itself isn’t actually dangerous for godly cultivators at the god-approaching level. Those who cultivate the divine way find themselves like fish in water. It’s just that the world’s rules differ, requiring time to adapt.
Of course, thanks to the efforts of countless predecessors, the present world is the safest place, where even ordinary people can survive peacefully and thrive for generations.
However, the world crevice between the present world and the Netherworld is extremely dangerous, and godly cultivators endowed with a golden form and jade marrow find it challenging to ensure survival while traversing with their flesh bodies.
It’s not just lacking the supply of heaven and earth vitality, nor is it merely the "Bone Scraping Wind" or some eerie and unpredictable evil beasts that linger in the world crevice.
According to "Facing Cangwu," the tao calls ’substance non-being’, the buddha calls ’grudge thought’, the law calls ’great evil’; all are the dangers of the world crevice.
The "Bone Scraping Wind" that strips bone upon contact is also a form of the so-called "Grudge Thought Trap."
Among the many "Grudge Thought Traps,"
The most perilous could be the omnipresent world shadow, sometimes casually passing through, capable of taking all material, tangible and intangible, with no ripple whatsoever.
Truly capable of lasting long-term in the world crevice are special minor worlds, reliant on the present world with independent rules. These worlds possess mighty world power and unique resources, able to withstand external assaults... also known as "Cave Heaven and Blessed Land."
Meanwhile, some present world or Netherworld land blocks trapped in the world crevice will eventually dissipate over a long time. Once the world rules they carry collapse, their material will likewise dissolve into nothing. Certainly, some accidents, like the Bone Scraping Wind or world shadow, if encountered inadvertently, will expedite this dissolution.
Thus, dragging present world land blocks or Netherworld land blocks into the world crevice is typically an extremely malicious act, inherently damaging the present world or Netherworld, provoking hostile intentions from the world on the opposite side. It is not used unless there is deep-seated enmity.
Zhang Linchuan chooses to flee into the world crevice to efficiently rid himself of the entanglement.
Since Yue Country seems to be prepared, he opts to avoid it at the cost of exposing some more information. The world is vast and there’s no need to cling stubbornly to one crooked tree. He is not a man to sulk in the face of the great path; emotions never sway his decisions.
Yet what surprised him again was...
As he shuttles through the lightless and soundless world crevice, that Ge Fei actually pursued him in!
The barrier of the world was silently penetrated.
Scholar-garbed, fluttering in the whirlwind.
In this exceedingly dangerous world crevice, Zhang Linchuan sees Ge Fei swiftly approaching at a terrifying speed!
Too confident!
Was it due to the secret cultivation by the Twilight Drum Academy or inspired by Gao Zheng’s teachings? Or is Gao Zheng closely following?
Fighting within the world crevice is not Zhang Linchuan’s desire, for it might inadvertently stir something strange. Hence, he only gave Ge Fei a calm glance, instantly accelerating like a lightning bolt flashing past, swimming through the void environment.
No need for pointless battles, don’t escalate needless risks.
But Ge Fei’s voice swiftly caught up—
"You just left like that, how am I to account to my teacher?"
Regarding this person’s strength, Zhang Linchuan reevaluated.
