Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 107: Dormancy

The attack from Deep Earth had an effect. With the sound of glass shattering, the forest in front suddenly disappeared, revealing a dark and deep crevice.

"Hurry, let's go!" Deep Earth Spirit General called out and immediately rushed into the crevice.

Meng Zhang didn't dare to slack off and followed closely, rushing in as well.

Meng Zhang felt the world spinning around him, and the space in front of his eyes kept changing. When everything stabilized, they found themselves back in their original location before entering the Formation.

"Don't stop, keep going!" Deep Earth Spirit General urged anxiously, not even sparing a glance at the surroundings.

The two of them hurriedly fled, and after leaving the area, they immediately used Earth Escape Art to escape upwards.

During their escape, Meng Zhang's true qi was insufficient, and he had to use several Earth Escape talismans in succession to barely keep up with Deep Earth Spirit General.

After reaching the surface, Deep Earth Spirit General jumped onto the Wind Chasing Horse.

"Quickly leave this place, the faster, the better."

Li Xuan, who was guarding the Wind Chasing Horse, saw the two of them in a desperate escape and didn't waste time saying anything. He immediately followed them in their escape.

Under the urging of the three, the Wind Chasing Horse ran at full speed and quickly escaped from the area.

After escaping quite a distance, Deep Earth Spirit General finally relaxed a bit.

At this moment, Meng Zhang had the chance to ask, "Deep Earth, what exactly happened?"

"And, now that we've escaped, will Han Tu and the others break the Formation and achieve their goal?"

"I've observed Han Tu, and though he doesn't show it, he must have a plan. He should have a deep understanding of the Formation."

Deep Earth Spirit General sneered disdainfully, "That guy, even if he knows the Formation well, it won't matter."

"We forcefully broke the entrance to the Formation, which will undoubtedly trigger subsequent changes."

"With their mere Refining Qi stage strength, they won't survive within the Formation."

Meng Zhang couldn't help but doubt Deep Earth's judgment after his recent mistake, "Are you sure? We made it out, after all."

"Enough, the forces involved in this matter are too high-level for you to know at the moment."

Seeing that Deep Earth Spirit General didn't seem willing to reveal more, Meng Zhang refrained from asking further.

The three of them hurried all the way back to Taiyi Sect at their fastest speed.

Once back at Taiyi Sect, Deep Earth Spirit General rushed to the underground chamber below Sect Master's quiet room.

Deep Earth Spirit General didn't delay for long before falling into another slumber near the spirit vein's eye.

Before falling asleep, Deep Earth Spirit General gave some instructions to Meng Zhang. He had used a secret technique to forcefully boost his strength in order to open the entrance to the Formation. Now he had to rest and recover from the strain, which would take at least a year and a half.

Regarding the area they had just escaped from, Deep Earth Spirit General repeatedly warned Meng Zhang.

They must never enter that place again, and they should never even mention it.

According to Deep Earth Spirit General's judgment, the layout of that area was very intricate and part of a massive system.

Such methods likely exceeded the power of a Gold Core Daoist Master.

The fact that it surpassed the level of a Gold Core Daoist Master stunned Meng Zhang. The dominant power in this region, the Flying Swan Sect, had their most powerful force limited to Gold Core Daoist Master level.

Events surpassing the Gold Core Daoist Master level left Meng Zhang utterly terrified.

Looking at the sleeping Deep Earth Spirit General, Meng Zhang couldn't help but curse, "You just go ahead and sleep, leaving behind such a mess. You should have explained things more clearly. What exactly is going on here?"

Meng Zhang hated Deep Earth's evasive, half-hearted way of speaking, pretending that Meng Zhang wasn't qualified to know, all for his own good.

This Guardian Spirit General had just awakened, and Meng Zhang had thought he would be useful, but now, this mess happened, which was truly infuriating.

With Deep Earth Spirit General asleep, Taiyi Sect lost another important card.

"You can sleep as much as you want. Stay here, nourish yourself in the spirit vein's eye, and recover slowly." Meng Zhang sighed helplessly.

However, there were still many troublesome matters ahead.

Fortunately, the spirit vein on the Sweetwater Oasis side had stabilized, and there was no need for Deep Earth Spirit General to continue its adjustments.

Meng Zhang took out the insect-controlling jar from Deep Earth Spirit General's storage bag and checked its contents. There were already seven sandworms inside, which should be enough, though it would be better to collect a few more.

After arranging everything for Deep Earth Spirit General, when Meng Zhang returned to Sect Master's quiet room, he felt a violent shaking from the ground.

The tremors calmed down for a moment but resumed even more violently after a while. Even various buildings in Taiyi Sect began to shake.

Was it an earthquake?

Meng Zhang rushed outside. The strong earthquakes caused panic throughout Taiyi Sect. Houses shook, and disciples started to panic. The more timid ones were running around in confusion.

Meng Zhang couldn't care about all that and quickly placed his hands on the ground, forming a hand seal to sense the direction of the earthquake.

Faintly, Meng Zhang sensed that the direction of the earthquake was where they had just escaped from.

The earthquake came on strongly but ended quickly, and soon, everything settled down.

After the earthquake subsided, they carefully checked and found that no one was injured in the sect, and there were no substantial losses or damages. Only two old and dilapidated rooms had some cracks on their walls.

Since they were far from the epicenter, the earthquake didn't cause significant damage.

Having remembered Deep Earth Spirit General's instructions, Meng Zhang restrained his curiosity and firmly decided not to go to the area where the earthquake happened.

This earthquake attracted the attention of many cultivation forces in the vicinity. They sent people to investigate, and curious loose cultivators also rushed to the area to see if there was anything valuable to pick up.

Meng Zhang and Li Xuan stayed obediently inside Taiyi Sect, not leaving a single step.

After several days, Meng Zhang and Li Xuan went to Singing Sand City together to inquire about the earthquake-related news.

As expected, the earthquake occurred in the same area where Meng Zhang and Deep Earth Spirit General had been.

After the earthquake, a large portion of the area collapsed, revealing a deep and bottomless pit.

The earthquake didn't last long, and its scope wasn't extensive. So the surrounding cultivation forces were mostly just frightened, without any substantial losses or casualties.

Even the loose cultivators who were searching in that area at the time suffered few casualties. Only a few unlucky ones were buried by sand dunes or injured by falling rocks.

On a flat desert plain, even during an earthquake, it was challenging to cause significant harm to people.

However, the appearance of the enormous pit attracted many cultivators who went there to explore. Some even claimed to have seen the appearance of a cultivator's cave-dwelling.
