Chapter 663 - 670: A Solution for the Seal

"I believe that to ’reorganize the world’ as you put it, the seal must be undone."

"But once the seal is broken, the monsters here will become a serious problem."

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s expression grew extremely solemn.

"It’s not just the Immortal Realm; even the Lower World will face an immense challenge. It could lead to catastrophic loss of life."

"Therefore, we must consider this matter very carefully."

The seal had existed for an unknown number of years. It had loosened many times, but the Immortals had always managed to repair it.

If the seal were to be broken now, everything would become troublesome.

As Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s words fell, the atmosphere in the cave instantly grew heavy.

Song Wanning’s expression was grave, a hint of conflict flashing in her eyes.

She had experienced firsthand just how formidable the monsters were.

The fate of the Golden Dragon Clan was a living example she dared not forget.

’If I really caused the monsters to be released, my sin would be grave indeed.’

She frowned, asking, unwilling to give up, "Is it possible that we don’t need to break the seal?"

Though she asked, Song Wanning didn’t hold out much hope in her heart.

’Since the Heavenly Dao led me here, it must be related to the seal.’

’It even created this opportunity to meet Mo Yang Immortal Venerable. That’s the biggest clue of all.’

Xuan Yan had been sitting silently in a corner the entire time.

But the light in his eyes had dimmed by half.

’I thought I had finally found hope, but this Immortal Venerable’s meaning is crystal clear. He will never allow the seal to be broken and bring trouble to the Immortal Realm.’

’So, this path ends here.’

"I’m only guessing. It’s not a certainty."

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable was very candid. He stared at the young woman before him; her growth in such a short time was astounding.

’Her very existence is a miracle. Perhaps there’s still a chance for things to turn around.’

"How about this: for now, you take me to see that passage of yours, and we can study the situation and devise a countermeasure."

"Perhaps things will take a turn for the better."

For now, they could only make a decision after assessing the actual situation.

Song Wanning nodded. "Alright, I’ll take you."

After coming to an agreement and taking a short rest, Song Wanning led Mo Yang Immortal Venerable back against the storm, heading in the opposite direction.

She had to return to the passage.

Although Xuan Yan said nothing, he chose to follow them silently.

’Since I’ve agreed to cooperate with Song Wanning, I need to protect her. I can’t let her perish in this spatial storm.’

Soon, they plunged back into the raging astral winds.

Fortunately, Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s power was extraordinary. He shielded the other two completely, and not a single gust of astral wind could touch them.

As Song Wanning gazed at the tall figure before her, her heart filled with fighting spirit.

She once again felt the disparity in their power and experienced the Immortal Venerable’s might firsthand.

In that moment, her desire for strength reached a new peak.

...

With Mo Yang Immortal Venerable clearing the path, they quickly broke through the spatial storm and returned to the passage.

The moment they appeared, the monsters seemed to catch their scent and immediately swarmed them again.

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s eyes sharpened, and in the next second, he slashed out with his sword.

A flash of sword light, and with a single strike, a huge swathe of monsters before them fell dead.

The monsters’ movements faltered. They felt fear.

But soon, even more monsters surged forward wave after wave, rushing toward the group.

Fending off the monsters, Mo Yang Immortal Venerable slowly led Song Wanning deeper into the passage.

Deeper in the passage, the light grew increasingly brilliant.

Song Wanning vaguely saw something flash past, but it was quickly obscured by the monsters.

"Wait here, I’m going to take a look!"

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable said in a low voice to Song Wanning before charging deeper into the passage.

The light quickly swallowed him. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Song Wanning’s heart sank. She could only fight off the lunging monsters while staring toward the light, waiting for Mo Yang Immortal Venerable to emerge.

Xuan Yan watched silently from start to finish, growing even more curious about the relationship between the two.

’They don’t seem to know each other well, yet they trust each other completely. How strange.’

Time ticked by. Mo Yang Immortal Venerable had yet to return, and Song Wanning grew anxious.

’I know Mo Yang Immortal Venerable is immensely powerful, but we have no idea what lies at the end of this passage. Is it dangerous?’

’Could Mo Yang Immortal Venerable be trapped?’

In an instant, various possibilities flashed through Song Wanning’s mind, and she began to inch her way deeper into the passage.

’No matter what, I can’t let Mo Yang Immortal Venerable face this danger alone.’

But just then, Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s figure finally appeared from the depths of the passage. He moved like a bolt of lightning, appearing by Song Wanning’s side in a flash.

He grabbed Song Wanning’s arm. "Go!"

Song Wanning didn’t hesitate, immediately following him back toward the spatial storm.

"THUD—"

Passing through the entrance to the spatial storm, they were once again inside it.

After a rapid transit, they arrived back in the cave.

"Immortal Venerable, are you injured?"

The moment she entered the cave, Song Wanning asked about Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s condition.

A warmth spread through Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s heart, and he shook his head.

"It’s nothing, just a minor injury!"

"I think I’ve found a way."

"Really?"

Song Wanning’s eyes lit up, and she immediately sat down with him.

Just then, Mo Yang Immortal Venerable began to draw a diagram on the ground.

"At the end of the passage is a spatial rift. The monsters must be crawling in through that rift!"

"But I didn’t dare get too close. Even from a distance, I could feel a terrifying power watching me hungrily."

"So, this matter is definitely not that simple."

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable seemed to have guessed something, but since Song Wanning didn’t bring it up, he didn’t press the issue.

He circled another spot on the ground. "This is the intersection point between the passage and the spatial storm. Simply breaking the seal is completely unrealistic."

"But if we were to alter the seal, it might just be feasible."

"It would just require cooperation between the realms above and below to succeed!"

"Immortal Venerable, do you mean cooperation between our Spirit Realm and the seniors in the Immortal Realm?"

Song Wanning’s brow furrowed. "But we have no way to communicate..."

Before she could finish, Mo Yang Immortal Venerable took out a stick of incense and handed it to Song Wanning.

"Light this incense, and you will be able to see me."

This was the Boundary Communication Incense he had acquired long ago but never had a use for.

’Who would have thought this is where it would be useful.’

Song Wanning took the Boundary Communication Incense, immediately guessing it might be the same thing Mu Zixu used.

"Immortal Venerable, just tell me what I should do and what I can do."

She sat up straight, her expression serious.

She didn’t understand these things, but Mo Yang Immortal Venerable did.

She trusted him!

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s brow relaxed slightly, very satisfied with Song Wanning’s cooperation.

"We need to shift the seal from here and graft it onto the far end of the passage."
