Chapter 1996: Chapter 2001: The Divine Mechanist’s Terrified Escape

"Fellow Daoists, since we have formed an alliance and suffered such humiliation, we must unite our strength and strike back."

After confirming Dongliu County and the Imperial Sky Gate, Sha Tongtian spoke.

Slaughtering the enemy also means being prepared for slaughter.

Therefore, Sha Tongtian wanted to minimize the risk.

If everyone puts in effort together, when the enemy arrives, we will unite, and no one will escape.

This proposal left the people present in a difficult position.

"Daoist Fellow Sha, let us return and discuss this with our clan leader."

Ma Gao said.

"Daoist Fellow Ma, are you joking with me? With your Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, do you not have the final say in the Ma Family?"

"Daoist Fellow Sha, you may not be aware, but my father is still alive, so I cannot make such a decision."

"Forget it."

Sha Tongtian waved his hand, releasing his pressure.

"Everyone go back and think about it, we will gather at the Sha Family in three days, whoever doesn’t come..."

Sha Tongtian didn’t finish his sentence.

In his anger, he was capable of anything.

If anyone wants to stand out, let them.

The powerful cultivators within the tower left one by one.

Finally, only the Divine Mechanist remained.

After confirming that everyone had left.

She once again used the Secret Technique to search for matters from Xia Liu’s past.

Wrapping the blood-stained cloth around her magic wand, the Divine Mechanist solidified a Seal Technique.

"Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow, lend me the laws of Heaven and Earth, assist me in communicating with all spirits and opening the Heavenly Eye!"

The curse was cast, and the wand stirred up a storm, a black pillar of light once again shot from the top of the tower into the Nine Heavens!

As the Divine Mechanist closed her eyes.

She saw a phantom, layers of light and shadow swirling swiftly.

She saw Dongliu County’s Imperial Sky Gate, she saw the Fan Family.

An expansive sea, a mist of death, Demon Beasts...

North Cool County, breaking through the Trapping Formation set by the Spirit Transformation Cultivator, seeing the remnant soul Bai Jue.

"Heaven and Earth borrow Wanfa, open once more!"

Seeing Bai Jue’s remnant soul, the Divine Mechanist became more excited, she had a feeling, Xia Liu had an even greater secret!

Without hesitation, borrowing the power of Mysterious Arcane of Heaven and Earth, she explored Xia Liu’s origins clearly!

Next, the Divine Mechanist saw past events that made her scalp tingle.

Among them, Xia Liu’s entire body, muscles, and bones shattered!

Falling like a meteor from the Void into North Cool County.

She even doubted, injured to such an extent.

Could he still survive?

Suddenly, the Divine Mechanist saw a vast starry sky.

Xia Liu’s body floated within it, scarcely noticeable.

He was so insignificant!

Just as the Divine Mechanist sought to delve further into Xia Liu’s past.

She suddenly glimpsed a massive form.

Continuing upward, reaching higher.

Buzz!

Suddenly, those enormous celestial eyes opened.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Inside the tower, the Divine Mechanist screamed in anguish.

At the moment those giant eyes opened, the Divine Mechanist felt a pressure akin to heavenly majesty.

Instantly forcing her back, leaving her unqualified to probe further.

Even more so, she felt her Energy Body, at least half damaged!

At this moment, she could no longer circulate energy.

Her foundations were equally bleak, without centuries of nourishment, she feared falling to the Golden Core Stage!

Too terrifying!

Just a glance left her gravely injured to this extent!

Probing another’s past is a mysterious affair.

Yet the Divine Mechanist had never encountered such severe injury.

Xia Liu is no ordinary Cultivator!

In the final moment, the Divine Mechanist saw Xia Liu burst forth from that gigantic bloody maw.

He must have an inseparable bond with the Giant Beast!

Merely casting magic to peer into history, the Giant Beast’s gaze alone could gravely wound her current self.

This Giant Beast’s cultivation, surely it has reached Immortal Saint level!

"I must inform Sha Tongtian of this! Xia Liu cannot be provoked!"

The Divine Mechanist panicked.

She was completely flustered.

With Xia Liu’s past, he is no ordinary cultivator, one from beyond the heavens, perhaps a Divinity Transformation of a Great Power.

If the Imperial Sky Gate is destroyed, if immense changes occur in Dongliu County.

Xia Liu will surely seek vengeance against Baichuan Realm.

At that time, Sha Tongtian and others will not only die.

He will find the source, he will find me!

Plop!

Before taking two steps, the Divine Mechanist fell to the ground.

Her foundation, Nascent Soul Stage Energy Body, all badly injured, unable to increase strength.

In such a state, how could she possibly crawl up?

How could she possibly reach the Sha Family thousands of miles away...

"It’s over, Baichuan Realm is over..."

Chanting in despair, the Divine Mechanist struggled to sit cross-legged.

Little by little, she channeled energy to heal her wounds.

As long as she recovers somewhat, as long as she can increase strength, she can still stop this calamity.

Alas, it wasn’t until half a month later that the Divine Mechanist could circulate energy.

She could no longer worry about the damage to her foundations and set out immediately for the Sha Family.

However, she arrived too late.

Sha Tongtian, Ma Gao, He Guicai, and others.

They had already set out ten days earlier, heading towards Dongliu County.

"It’s over, everything is over."

"Senior, what’s over?"

The Elder of the Sha Family saw the somber tone of the Divine Mechanist and couldn’t help but ask.

"Dongliu County is done for."

"haha! With several ancestors leading, gathering countless experts from Baichuan Realm, how could little Dongliu County possibly remain unharmed?"

The Elder of the Sha Family spoke proudly.

"Heh... as long as you’re happy."

The Divine Mechanist didn’t want to explain anything.

She immediately moved to return to the tower.

"No wonder I foresaw myself facing a major calamity; it seems it’s him bringing this disaster upon me."

Thinking of a divination from three years prior, the Divine Mechanist had always been cautious.

A while ago seeing Li Yun, she thought it was her major calamity arriving.

In the course of battle, there were indeed many life-threatening dangers, but Sha Tongtian helped.

Thus, the Divine Mechanist was able to navigate through the calamity smoothly.

Now it seems the calamity has not faded but only just begun!

She must prepare herself.

Now that her Energy Body is somewhat restored, but with her foundation severely damaged.

She must leave!

To a place where Xia Liu cannot find her!

...

Deep within a mountain range in Youdu.

A peculiar boundary enveloped the entire mountain range.

At the midsection of the peak, reputed as Spirit Mountain, a barrier could be seen flickering brighter and brighter.

Outside the barrier, a beautiful young woman clenched her hands tightly, occasionally tiptoeing to peer into the cave.

Wishing to see if anything unexpected was happening within.

Rumble!

Just as Qingqing worried about Granny and Xia Liu.

A thunderous roar, the barrier shattered, a stream of light burst forth from the peak, reaching the Nine Heavens.

Rumble!!!

Black clouds gathered rapidly, thunder roared within.

An even more terrifying sight appeared.

Qingqing felt that within a radius of a hundred miles, even hundreds of miles, the Spiritual Energy was converging towards Spirit Mountain.

That Spiritual Energy gathered into mist, ultimately resembling a flowing river.

The Spiritual Energy, like water, surged and flowed toward Spirit Mountain incessantly!

No!!

This river-like Spiritual Energy was not flowing towards Spirit Mountain.

But towards the person high above Spirit Mountain!

Xia Liu!

"Granny! Look, he seems to be doing something!"

Seeing Li Yun emerge, Qingqing rushed up hurriedly, unable to care for Granny, even more worried for Xia Liu.

"He is a rare genius, now absorbing the yet-to-be-refined Spiritual Power, and further borrowing nature’s spiritual energy in this radius, he intends to form his Core..."
