Chapter 2058: Beneath the Broken Cliff, Tormented Beyond Endurance!

However, as soon as she spoke, Gu Changsheng regretted it!

Although one might say that the world is full of wonders, to want to rob a tomb beneath this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, how skilled must those tomb raiders be?

Gu Changsheng didn’t think everyone would be as lucky as she was, to land so peacefully without incident at the bottom of this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms. On this point, even Gu Changsheng had to admit her luck was indeed quite good!

Still, Gu Changsheng felt a bit disappointed about not finding the Divine Blood mentioned on the stone tablet!

“The key now is, exactly how do I get out?” Gu Changsheng looked up, eyeing the hazy mist above with a troubled face.

She could imagine that her evildoer and Shi Wujue and the others were probably freaking out, but as the saying goes, it’s easy to ascend a mountain but hard to descend. She’s reversed this situation now; it was easy to come down, but hard to go up!

The Crystal Mausoleum had been ravaged by her and was now a pitiful sight, but even though she had walked out from the Crystal Mausoleum, she hadn’t really escaped from the bottom of this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms. Estimating the distance she had fallen, Gu Changsheng thought that even if a Garuda Bird lent her a pair of wings, she might not be able to fly back up!

This is the most worrying thing!

“I’m so hungry…” Hugging her stomach with both hands, Gu Changsheng stood beside the Crystal Mausoleum, looking up at the sky. In reality, she couldn’t even see the hair of the sky, only an endless expanse of mist. “Ta You is really screwing people over. Although he healed my Divine Soul Injury, he trapped me in this godforsaken place, and missing the chance to obtain Divine Blood is one thing, but does this mean I’m going to starve to death?”

Just now, Gu Changsheng had destroyed a circle within the Crystal Mausoleum, and examined it very carefully. Everywhere she had been to at the bottom of this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms showed no signs of life. To make it worse, there’s no water source down here!

A place with no signs of life and no water source—how is she, a living person, supposed to survive?

Drink the northwest wind?

Gu Changsheng thought, although she didn’t mind drinking the northwest wind, her digestive system would need to have the function to digest it!

No way, staying here won’t lead to finding the Divine Blood. Gu Changsheng could only shake her head, clutch the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, and continue to venture deeper into the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms…

Perhaps, she might just find a way out?

After all, doesn’t heaven always leave a door open?

Gu Changsheng won’t die in a place Ta You prepared to save her life, right? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be saving her life; it would be taking it!

At the bottom of the Broken Cliff, having left the Crystal Mausoleum, she was surrounded by desolation. The soil on the ground was dimly lit, and even the ground didn’t show any color. It was deathly silent in all directions. Gu Changsheng carefully staggered along, fearing she’d fall again by accident…

Honestly, heaven had dug so many pits for her that she had to guard against them…

She walked for an undetermined amount of time, so long that Gu Changsheng, having been way too hungry, no longer even felt hunger. Finally, in front of her, the expanse was no longer a desolate mist. A steep cliff appeared right before her…

The moment Gu Changsheng saw the cliff, a spark of hope for life ignited in her eyes!

There was an end!

As long as there is an end to this bottom of the Broken Cliff, there is a chance of survival!

She wasn’t afraid of cliffs and precipices, just the desolate expanse without an end, which meant there was no possibility of leaving!

“A way out! As long as I can climb up from here, I can surely return to the surface!”

Almost in an instant, Gu Changsheng realized this was the place where she could leave the bottom of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms…

However, the joy was fleeting. Gu Changsheng’s beautiful face quickly turned dim, her lips twitched, and she said feebly, “But how do I climb such a steep cliff? Climb it?”

That’s unrealistic…

Not to mention how high this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms is, Gu Changsheng had fallen from it and even taken a nap midway, she knew it well. As for the sheer slope of this cliff without the assurance of safety ropes, even Gu Changsheng dared not climb it easily. Climbing up might not be difficult, but the challenge was to make no mistakes while doing so. Otherwise, falling would mean shattered bones!

Though Gu Changsheng was a carefree woman, she wasn’t carefree to the point of risking her life. So standing at the bottom of this cliff, Gu Changsheng hesitated. Climbing up might lead her back to the surface, but it could also result in a fall, leading to eternal doom…

What should she choose?

“To live or to die, that really is the question!”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh at the cliff. This age-old difficult choice now lay right in front of her. Although Gu Changsheng didn’t suffer from indecision, she admitted it wasn’t an easy choice to make…

However, standing under the steep cliff, sighing at it, Gu Changsheng did not realize that on her small face, threads of gold and red blood were continuously intertwining, from barely visible to obvious, and then so obvious that it almost filled her entire body…

The golden threads of blood seemed to be in a stalemate with the red threads, entangled and tearing, as if vowing to win or lose…

Standing under the steep cliff, sighing at it, Gu Changsheng also did not notice that from some unknown time, she no longer had a shadow…

It seemed that ever since her reflection disappeared from the crystal mausoleum, she had lost her shadow…

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng felt a stabbing pain flash through her mind, so vivid that it seemed to peel her flesh away, this sudden pain made her involuntarily raise her hand, hold her head, and crouch on the ground in agony…

But in that instant of crouching down, Gu Changsheng’s mind, muddled from the stabbing pain, suddenly gained a trace of clarity, unable to stop her hands from lowering from holding her head…

What she saw, was a dazzling golden yellow, blinding golden yellow…

Holy, pure, without a trace of impurity, like strands of silk, wrapping around her hands, constantly spreading up her arms…

“Ah!”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but raise her head and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Pain!

It seemed as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward, as if her whole being was about to tear apart, the pain swept through her body like a tidal wave from her mind…

Bravely enduring the scorching pain, Gu Changsheng once again forced her eyes to open a slit, and this time, she saw nothing but blood red, with her fingertips, palms, and exposed arms covered in the red hue…

This bizarre scene made Gu Changsheng feel as if she was about to explode with pain, as if there was an explosive inside her ready to shatter her, the excruciating agony was like a monstrous beast devouring her entire body, leaving her mind blank, filled with nothing but pain…

What was happening to her?

What on earth was happening?

The holy gold color she had just seen, where did it come from?

Why was her body covered in threads of holy gold?

Could it be, that she was poisoned?

Her chaotic mind had lost its ability to think, Gu Changsheng had no idea what was happening to her or why she had become like this…

She only knew that she was in great pain, so much pain that she was about to die…

In a daze, Gu Changsheng tried several times to open her eyes, only to see her skin with holy gold and red entwined and entangled on her hands, and just before she could no longer bear the endless agony and fell into a coma, the last thing she saw was the spreading holy gold color, dazzling in its brilliance, streaming across her body…

Darkness replaced the bone-eroding pain, falling unconscious, Gu Changsheng was unaware that the moment she lost consciousness, her entire body burst with holy golden radiance, enveloping her, the dazzling light filled the entire base of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, the brilliant light shot up uncontrollably from Gu Changsheng, soaring straight into the sky…

Above the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, Zhou Mu’s heart trembled, turning back unexpectedly, only to see a stream of holy golden brilliance rise to the sky, reaching the blazing sun like fire, then disappearing, for a moment, a heavy expression flashed across the face like that of a Divine Residence…

“What happened?”

Shi Wujue turned around, his long eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking at Zhou Mu who suddenly stopped, and asked.

“Nothing, just a little uneasy.” Zhou Mu shook his head, not knowing why he felt a sudden pang of heartache.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine.” Shi Wujue raised his hand and lightly patted Zhou Mu’s shoulder, then turned and continued onward.

Who she referred to in his words was understood by both Shi Wujue and Zhou Mu.

Gu Changsheng had fallen off the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, leaving them helpless, nothing else in this world could make both of them so worried at the same time, apart from Gu Changsheng!

“Hmm.” Zhou Mu responded softly, retracting his gaze with some doubts, perhaps it was just his illusion, how could there be a holy golden brilliance shooting up from below the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms?

He also wondered whether his Changsheng had encountered any danger below the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms and whether she could safely emerge from there…

And almost the moment the holy golden brilliance shot up from below the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, on a certain island far from this continent, atop a hundred-zhang-tall sacrificial tower, a slender, long-haired figure suddenly looked back from meditation…
