Chapter 827 - 521: Refinement, Departure! (Double-Length)

Chapter 827: Chapter 521: Refinement, Departure! (Double-Length)

The alternation of day and night in the outside world went unnoticed, and it has been exactly ten days since the entrance to the Celestial Ruins Realm opened.

Above the Sea of Spiritual Energy, the soldiers and generals were arranged in formation, scattered to block the entrance in all directions, ensuring no oblivious outsiders force their way in and disturb this place.

Suddenly, several streams of light swept across from afar.

One of the generals, upon seeing the arrivals, immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Situ Xiang."

Situ Shenbo, wearing the Yunjin Robe, hovered in mid-air and waved his hand, saying, "Ten days have passed now, has anything occurred within the Celestial Ruins Realm?"

"Reporting to Situ Xiang, the entrance to the Celestial Ruins Realm is still relatively stable. In the past few days, only a few heavily injured grandmasters have come out; the others are still inside," the general responded.

"Is there any news of my son Situ Ming?" Situ Shenbo immediately asked.

"No, my lord," the general said.

Situ Shenbo nodded and looked toward the distorted space in the high sky far away.

"Shenbo, it’s been a long time," another person approached with a clasped hand and a faint smile.

"Ah, it’s Lord Yi Hui. So, you are also concerned about the young ones from your family." Situ Shenbo said upon seeing the person in front of him, returning the gesture.

"There’s no choice; after all, this time the Celestial Ruins Realm is different from before, the hidden dangers from the Demon Race are still unknown, so there is indeed reason to worry." Yi Hui shook his head and said.

"Exactly. In the past, the duration of the opening of the Celestial Ruins Realm was usually between ten to fifteen days, so I plan to wait here for a few more days," Situ Shenbo said.

"Then I will wait together with Shenbo," Yi Hui stroked his beard.

"Alright," Situ Shenbo agreed.

Both of them were descendants of prestigious families in the Cloud Emperor City, as well as high-ranking officials at court, naturally having a camaraderie.

Thus, another day passed.

Outside the Celestial Ruins Realm, more people continued to arrive, waiting.

They all had status and power, hence the waiting at the entrance wasn’t much obstructed by the guarding soldiers and generals.

"Greetings, Situ Xiang, Lord Yi," a white-haired, cultured man came before acquaintances, saluting.

"So Bai Yu has also come, it’s been a long time since we met. Are you waiting for Bai Qing, that chap?" Yi Hui smiled and said.

"Yes, my father and mother are worried, so they specially sent me here to wait," Bai Yu nodded.

"Haha, we are all the same, it should be soon now," Yi Hui said.

"I just hope nothing goes wrong. The flow of time within the Celestial Ruins Realm is not consistent with the outside world, though only eleven days have passed outside, it’s probably been three months inside the Celestial Ruins Realm," Bai Yu said slowly.

In earlier years, he had also entered the Celestial Ruins Realm, not just once, so he was quite familiar with the conditions within.

If Great Demons were rampant this time in the Celestial Ruins Realm, then those who entered would have been fighting with the Demon Race for as long as three months.

Plus, the inherent dangers of the Celestial Ruins Realm itself, so many variables make it impossible to say.

Who knows what has happened during these three months in the Celestial Ruins Realm.

Suddenly, the entrance to the Celestial Ruins Realm, the distorted space there abruptly became less stable than before, many spatial chaotic streams shooting out from it, stirring up large winds on the sea surface.

Waves and Spiritual Qi were disturbed, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.

Bai Yu, unfamiliar with this phenomenon, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Celestial Ruins Realm is about to close."

An opening duration of eleven days is neither long nor short compared to previous times.

It is unknown how many people have suffered injuries, how many have encountered fortune, gaining significant harvest, and how many ancient relics have emerged into the world.

Simultaneously, within the Celestial Ruins Realm, the ground began to shake.

The originally extremely harsh place became even more savage and dangerous; energy became chaotic, space unstable.

"Time to leave..." Hua Sichen looked around at the changes, calmly said.

He knew full well that this situation meant the entire Celestial Ruins Realm was about to close, and they needed to depart promptly.

"Let’s go."

Elsewhere, in Black Mountain.

Yuan San watched the violent shaking of the mountains and ground, his expression unchanged.

However, Situ Ming next to him abruptly stood up and alerted, "We must leave, the Celestial Ruins Realm is about to close."

"What about Changming..." Song Changping couldn’t help but look towards his younger brother, still meditating.

At this time, Song Changming, interrupted from his cultivation due to the change in the Celestial Ruins Realm, slowly opened his bright eyes.

No need for side reminders, he nodded and said, "Let’s go."

Although the leftover Demon King’s Flesh essence within him had not completely been refined, compared to the previous nearly out-of-control state, he had already refined seventy to eighty percent of the sealed energy, temporarily sealing the remainder was not an issue.

"Alright, quick, let’s go," Situ Ming said immediately, not delaying, directly flying towards the nearest cave entrance of Black Mountain.

Currently, only Song Changming, Yuan San, Song Family’s two brothers, plus Situ Ming remained in Black Mountain.

Others had long left this place after digesting the Immortal Tree fortune, seeking other opportunities in the Celestial Ruins Realm.

Only Song Changming, whose sealed energy was too complex, had to take more time to refine and absorb it.

Yuan San and Song Changping, Song Chang’an, the three undead corpses naturally stayed by Song Changming’s side, to prevent any mishaps.

Situ Ming was the only Human Race Grandmaster among them who didn’t want to leave Song Changming behind, having already found satisfaction with the Immortal Tree fortune he obtained, he stayed to the end.

Before leaving, Song Changming took one last glance at the Red Source Immortal Tree.

The Immortal Tree now stood motionlessly, its roots deeply buried underground, vines wrapping around the towering trunk, branches still lush with green, full of vitality and Natural Qi.
