The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 828: Opening the Passage

Amidst the mix of ridicule, mockery, and anticipation in the crowd’s gazes, Su Jingzhen and his group approached the very center of the cliff.

The dense spiritual energy emanating from this place refreshed Su Jingzhen’s mind.

“Just cultivating here for two months would probably be equivalent to three or four years of effort outside,” Su Jingzhen thought in awe.

Without hesitation, Xuening stepped into the air and closed her eyes. Once again, a radiant five-colored light emerged from her body.

The sacred aura emanating from her grew increasingly intense, even pressuring Su Jingzhen and the others.

Yan Xia, who had the weakest cultivation among them, couldn’t help but step back, finding it difficult to even stand before Xuening at this moment.

Seeing this transformation, Su Jingzhen and the others exchanged surprised glances.

“Xuening… What’s happening to her?” Su Jingzhen frowned, worry evident on his face.

Jian Ling and Qiu Yaoyao also seemed confused.

As a pure human with no trace of dragon bloodline, Xuening had somehow been chosen as the first sequence disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race.

Even back then, Qiu Yaoyao had recognized Xuening’s extraordinary nature, but her exact identity had remained a mystery.

Now, the strange phenomenon surrounding Xuening only deepened the sense of wonder and uneasiness in their hearts.

The other teams observing from a distance were equally shocked, though most of them were filled with anticipation.

The more remarkable Xuening appeared, the higher the chance that she could open the cliff’s hidden mysteries.

“Her glowing aura is growing more intense and frequent… Could she really be that person?”

Meanwhile, on the grandstand of the Observation Square, where the supreme figures of various super divine regions sat, several people frowned.

Even Xu Shouyi wore a solemn expression.

However, the woman in white curved her lips into a faint smile.

“Interesting. That guy… I can’t even begin to describe his fortune. He’s always surrounded by extraordinary people.”

She chuckled softly, her gaze fixed on Xuening, who was bathed in five-colored light within the projected array screen. A glimmer of anticipation shone in her eyes.

While those in the central stand were brimming with anticipation, many of the powers from the Four Waters region – unaware of what the five-colored glow meant – were merely frowning, their expressions laced with mockery.

“If I remember correctly, this cliff was first discovered 78 competitions ago, and no one has ever managed to open it.

Even with the Guiding Divine Flower, which might have led them here, it’s not going to make a difference.

Last time, several cultivators from the Great Perfection Realm joined forces, and they still couldn’t succeed. What makes them think they can do it now?”

“In my opinion, it’s better for them to focus on gathering the scattered Divine Sources. That’s probably the best way to maximize the value of their Guiding Divine Flower. This cliff is a waste of time.”

Although they scoffed on the outside, many of these people were bitter or even scared on the inside.

No one could say for sure how many Divine Sources were hidden in that cliff.

And considering the string of miracles Su Jingzhen’s team had pulled off in just two days, if they actually managed to open it, it would spell disaster for everyone else.

Meanwhile, the radiance around Xuening became even more intense, dazzling to the point of being overwhelming.

The cliff that had been emitting boundless spiritual energy suddenly seemed to be distorted, as if it had been warped by an invisible force.

Simultaneously, a mysterious five-colored radiance emerged on its surface, intertwining with the glow emanating from Xuening.

At that moment, everyone, whether in the observation plaza outside or among the hundreds of people gathered inside, fell silent.

Su Jingzhen could clearly hear the rise and fall of countless heavy breaths as tension gripped the air.

The spiritual aura around the cliff surged, and everyone nearby instinctively released their own energies in response.

Su Jingzhen knew all too well that if the passage truly appeared, or if the Divine Sources hidden within the cliff manifested, Jian Ling’s earlier threats would no longer be enough to deter the crowd.

In such a volatile environment, there was never a shortage of reckless individuals.

After all, cultivation itself was a battle against fate, and the maxim “Fortune favors the bold” was a guiding principle for most cultivators.

With this in mind, Su Jingzhen began channeling the blood energy from all his secret repositories and circulating it through his meridians. The black brick was already in his hand, signaling his readiness for battle.

Jian Ling mirrored his actions, gripping her transparent longsword tightly, its icy sword energy rippling out menacingly.

As they prepared for battle, Xuening’s five-color radiance intensified, and the distortion in the void above the cliff became more pronounced.

Moments later, a vortex-like passage materialized. From within it, an ancient, primal aura emanated, accompanied by waves of energy carrying the unmistakable presence of Divine Sources.

At that moment, the eyes of everyone present became bloodshot.

As expected, ruthless individuals appeared. Two teams broke away from the crowd, ignoring the oppressive aura that Jian Ling exuded.

“This is mine! The Divine Source here is all mine! Anyone who dares to block my path will die!”

The leader of one of the advancing teams roared as he charged forward. His aura revealed him to be in the Celestial Being Realm, and not just the early stage – he had reached the mid stage, a force to be reckoned with.

Jian Ling exchanged a glance with Qiu Yaoyao. A cold gleam flashed in both of their eyes as their killing intent rose to its peak.

Without hesitation, Jian Ling swung her sword, and Qiu Yaoyao lashed out with her whip.

The two of them attacked with their full strength, unleashing an overwhelming power.

Upon sensing their killing intent, the mid-stage Celestial Being Realm cultivator quickly regained his composure. A flash of terror crossed his face, but it was already too late.

Under Jian Ling’s wrathful strike, the power of the Great Perfection Realm was too immense to resist.

In just one exchange, he was reduced to a mist of blood, his remains scattering into the void.

The teams following him also suffered severe injuries from the residual power of the attack.

But Jian Ling and Qiu Yaoyao didn’t linger. Despite their strength, they understood the difficulty of facing hundreds of cultivators at once.

Protecting Su Jingzhen with their Great Perfection Realm powers, they quickly entered the vortex passage.

Surprisingly, the passage didn’t close after they entered.

The remaining cultivators who were stunned moments ago quickly recovered. Their expressions changed from shock to unbridled excitement.

“The passage is still open! It hasn’t disappeared!”

“Hurry, hurry! There must be countless Divine Sources inside. Even if they’re strong, we can at least get a share!”

With eager shouts, the crowd rushed forward, rushing into the vortex one by one. In no time, the area around the cliff was deserted.

At the same time as the cliff passage opened, changes began to ripple through the Divine Source Secret Realm.

In the forest that Su Jingzhen and his team had passed through earlier, giant beasts began emerging from the shadows of the trees.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Deep Pit and the Divine Source Valley, where the five-colored divine light had been faintly glowing, the radiance became more intense.

The five-colored light began to coalesce, forming vague shapes of colossal beasts.

It was as if something deep within the Divine Light, and perhaps within the Secret Realm itself, was beginning to awaken.
