Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice-Chapter 313: Caught in the celestial ropes net
Chapter 313: Caught in the celestial rope's net
Su Yun looked at it for a moment and felt puzzled.
The Zhongshan that appeared in the darkness was a mountain formed by the stars of the galaxy, like an upside-down bell, seemingly close at hand.
The Candling Dragon coiled around the Zhongshan, its length unknown. Its dragon head rested on the bell nose, and its dragon claws held onto the bell body, seemingly within reach. As long as he reached out his hand, he could touch the long beard of the Candling Dragon.
However, it was impossible to touch it at all!
The Zhongshan and the Candling Dragon were extremely far away from him, so far that the distance couldn't even be estimated.
He was more like a speck of dust in front of the Candling Dragon and the Zhongshan. Even the world he was in was like a speck of dust to them!
The more carefully he looked, the more shocked he became. The beard of the Candling Dragon was also composed of star belts, forming a belt of stars, which made up the dragon's beard.
Su Yun also saw that nebulae formed his dragon scales. Through the nebulae, he could see his internal organs, such as his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, all composed of clusters of stars.
The structure of the Candling Dragon's body seemed to be based on stars as the basic unit, with star systems as organs, collectively constructing the magnificent figure of the Candling Dragon!
In the mouth of the Candling Dragon was a galaxy-like core, extremely bright. And the Candling Dragon's eyes seemed to be half-open and half-closed, whether it had just fallen asleep or was about to wake up, no one knew.
"The Candling Dragon and the Zhongshan are both fake. They are a kind of celestial phenomenon."
After observing for a long time, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "It's impossible to have such a huge creature, even if it's a god or an immortal. The Candling Dragon and the Zhongshan just happen to look like the Candling Dragon and the Zhongshan. However..."
He suddenly froze, "Why can I see the Candling Dragon and the Zhongshan while standing under the Nine Abyss of the Deep Abyss? I have also observed the celestial phenomena at night, but there was no such celestial phenomenon in Yuanshuo or Daqin's sky!"
Not only had he never seen such a celestial phenomenon, he hadn't even heard of it!
"Which means that the observation point I am in right now is not in our world, but in another world!"
Su Yun was greatly puzzled, "Then where is the observation point of the Deep Abyss?"
The Deep Abyss was determined by the first generation Holy Emperor Xuanyuan. If one didn't know about the Deep Abyss or hadn't been there, how could they open up this realm?
"The Deep Abyss is also called the Heavenly Abyss."
Jing Zhao still rambled on, his words unrelated and incoherent. Su Yun asked him where the observation point of the Deep Abyss was and how the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan had observed it, but Jing Zhao stumbled through reciting his knowledge of the old scriptures, making it difficult to understand.
"Douge Heavenly Abyss, Lingxing Haiyue, Linran Mingde Zunchong. To cultivate virtue, use merit as the true element, penetrating the Heavenly Abyss!"
"Zaihuai Gusha, Shangxiang Yaochi. Zhuolong is the decoration, the Heavenly Abyss is here! The Heavenly Abyss is right where Zhuolong is!"
"The world is obsessed with the Great Dao, seeking immortality through inferior methods. Swallow saliva and accept qi to become immortal... Yin and Yang are separated by the Heavenly Abyss, always blindly cultivating and blindly refining, the Dao must be natural!"
"The Heavenly Abyss wants to divide and understand, internal and external must be united. When internal and external are united, the principles of heaven are preserved and human desires are extinguished, allowing one to penetrate the Heavenly Abyss."
"Delve deep into the mysteries, cultivate the vastness to fill the Heavenly Abyss. You must cultivate the vast qi to fill the Heavenly Abyss in order to see the Candling Dragon!"
...
Jing Zhao kept rambling, but Su Yun could understand that Jing Zhao was talking about the explanations of the various schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and other schools regarding the Deep Abyss, which is also known as the Heavenly Abyss. However, he only talked about cultivation methods and didn't mention where the Heavenly Abyss was.
"The Heavenly Abyss has ten stars, namely Tianchi, Tianquan, Tianhai..." Jing Zhao continued to recite.
Su Yun's heart trembled, and he quickly opened his own spiritual realm, visualizing the celestial map he had determined. This celestial map took the Seventh Spiritual Realm as the center of the universe and redefined the positions of the celestial bodies!
"Old Sect Master, which one is the Heavenly Abyss's ten stars?" The two of them were in Su Yun's spiritual realm, surrounded by floating stars. Su Yun hurriedly asked.
Jing Zhao stared at these stars blankly, suddenly showing a look of fear, howling and crying uncontrollably. No matter how Su Yun tried to comfort him, he couldn't stop.
Su Yun was helpless and didn't know how to persuade him. He thought, "Sect Master Jing Zhao has fallen into madness. I wonder if Doctor Dong and Junior Sister Xiao Yao have found an expert who can treat mental demons..."
"Master, the Heavenly Abyss is here."
Just then, a voice came. Su Yun followed the sound and saw two to three hundred men and women in strange clothes entering the envoy's mansion, walking among the dazzling stars. One of them was the familiar Yan Qingzhou.
Yan Qingzhou was proficient in the language of the previous world and could understand the language of the Ashen Dust Monsters. He was a talent in the Tongtian Pavilion specializing in researching this area.
However, he wasn't as knowledgeable about celestial phenomena.
The one speaking was a woman who pointed at a star cluster and said, "Master, if you take the Seventh Spiritual Realm as the center of the universe, then these ten stars are the Heavenly Abyss's ten stars. Near the Heavenly Abyss is the Bie Star, located between the Nine Kan."
Su Yun asked, "Who are you, Senior Sister?"
"I dare not." The woman slightly bowed and said, "I am Yuan Shuo Yichao Hua, the celestial phenomenon official of the Tongtian Pavilion."
Su Yun asked eagerly, "Senior Sister Yi, how should we go to the Heavenly Abyss?"
Yi Chao Hua was stunned, as if she hadn't heard clearly, and tentatively said, "Master, I don't quite understand?"
Su Yun said, "The Deep Abyss has nine levels, and you can observe the Candling Dragon and the Zhongshan from there. The perspective is not in our world, but should be standing on the real Heavenly Abyss. Holy Emperor Xuanyuan opened up this realm, so he should have been to the Heavenly Abyss, which is the Deep Abyss. Since he can go, then naturally we can go too..."He said as he spoke, he saw Yi Chaohua's expression becoming more and more strange, and asked in confusion, "Senior Sister Yi, did I say something wrong?"
Yi Chaohua hesitated to speak, and after a moment, she gathered her courage and said, "Master, in recent years, our Tongtian Pavilion has made some discoveries. There is indeed a path that may lead to the starry abyss in the universe. We have also discovered some ruins, but..."
Yan Qingzhou coughed and said, "Master, in recent years, the research of Tongtian Pavilion has focused on the broken star in the sky. We have made some discoveries there, but the discoveries on that abandoned star are quite astonishing."
Su Yun's heart moved slightly as he walked out of the envoy's mansion and looked outside. It was already late at night, and there were still huge fragments of stars in the sky reflecting the bright sunlight.
"Which abandoned star are you talking about?" Su Yun asked.
Yan Qingzhou and the others nodded and said, "But in recent years, the conflict between the Tongtian Pavilion in the mainland and the overseas Tongtian Pavilion has intensified, and the research on those ruins has come to a halt. If a new pavilion master can be established this time to unify the Tongtian Pavilion, we can restart the research in this area."
Su Yun's eyes flickered as he looked up at the floating star fragments in the sky and said, "How did this star break?"
"It was shattered by the Tian Shi Yuan."
Yi Chaohua said, "Based on the trajectory of the remaining fragments and the angle at which the Tian Shi Yuan was inserted into the star, we can calculate that the Tian Shi Yuan flew from which star region in the universe and shattered this star..."
As she spoke, her voice became more and more complicated, and finally, her voice became smaller and smaller, almost like a mosquito.
They were all strange people, possessing knowledge that ordinary people could not understand. Therefore, when they talked about this knowledge, they often appeared less confident.
Su Yun looked around and looked at these strange people. He was inexplicably moved and suddenly smiled, "Rest assured, everyone, I will definitely not let you down and live up to the expectations of all the previous pavilion masters!"
Yan Qingzhou and Yi Chaohua and the other two hundred people faced him alone, but they seemed a bit cramped. Some people kept wiping their hands, while Yi Chaohua looked around and dared not make eye contact with him. Even when Yan Qingzhou spoke to him, his gaze was evasive. Obviously, being with so many people made them all feel a little uncomfortable.
It was Su Yun's acquaintance, Bu Qiurong, who was quite versatile and could handle things well in front of others and behind their backs.
"Master, what should we do about Jing, Jing, Jingzhao, the cave master?"
A member of the Tongtian Pavilion stood beside Jingzhao, stuttering and whispering, "Should we...?"
He secretly wiped his neck and said, "A-after all, we... have a bad relationship with the Huo Huo Yun Cave. Killing one of their cave masters wouldn't be a big deal..."
The eyes of the other members of the Tongtian Pavilion lit up, nodding one after another. Someone secretly raised their thumbs and praised, "Stutter is good at socializing and has spoken our minds!"
One person excitedly said, "That's right! The Huo Yun Cave often insults us, saying that we are a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Let's kill their cave master!"
The others also became excited and rubbed their hands.
The stutterer said, "A-as long as we kill him as a cave master, we can let him have a better one!"
Everyone nodded, looking at Jingzhao with a fierce look.
Jingzhao was still squatting on the ground, foolishly crying, tears streaming down his face. Suddenly, he sneered, "It's all fake..."
Su Yun was quite a headache. He had already noticed the deep grudges between the Huo Yun Cave and the Tongtian Pavilion when he first met Jingzhao. However, in terms of temperament, the former cave master Jingzhao had a much higher temperament than the members of the Tongtian Pavilion. At least when facing Su Yun, Jingzhao could still treat him with respect, while the members of the Tongtian Pavilion would directly attack Jingzhao.
"He is no longer the cave master of the Huo Yun Cave."
Su Yun shook his head and said, "The current cave master is his disciple, Cave Master Yu Qingluo. We have a good relationship."
"A-a woman?" the stutterer asked.
Su Yun nodded.
The stutterer raised his thumb and smiled, "Heh, the pavilion master has..."
Su Yun raised his hand to stop him and shook his head, "It's not what you think."
The stutterer showed a satisfied smile, nodded to the others, raised his two thumbs and knocked them together, and said, "Our Tongtian Pavilion's pig can dig, dig, dig..."
The other experts of the Tongtian Pavilion saw this and also showed knowing smiles.
Su Yun turned his face away and thought, "This stutterer is indeed the most skilled at socializing among them! Let them think whatever they want!"
"First, tie him up."
Su Yun ordered, "As long as Cave Master Jingzhao doesn't cause trouble, just let him be. When Doctor Dong finds a doctor who can cure him, treat him and set him free."
The stutterer was about to step forward, but suddenly Jingzhao stopped babbling. Everyone present felt a tightness in their hearts, and they heard Jingzhao softly chanting.
Su Yun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted, "Not good! Run!"
In the envoy's mansion, the chanting of the Confucian Saint Cen Fuzi resounded, and in the next moment, the immortal silk turned into a long dragon, shuttling rapidly among the people!
The experts of the Tongtian Pavilion were caught off guard and were all tightly bound!
Su Yun had already soared into the air, turning into a heavenly roc and flying away. Just as he flew a hundred feet away, a rope suddenly bound his feet tightly.
"Plump!"
The young man fell on Lanling Street, and Jingzhao, the old cave master, grabbed the immortal silk and slowly retracted it, dragging him back.
Su Yun was pulled back to the envoy's mansion, only to see Xing Jiangmu stopping the sheep carriage next to the envoy's mansion, trembling with white hair.Su Yun gave him a look, and Xing Jiangmu, trembling, turned to slip away. However, the next moment, he was tripped up by a rope that wrapped around his feet!
The startled goat bolted, but with a loud thud, it fell to the ground. Its four hooves were tied together, and it was left hanging in mid-air! 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Damn celestial rope!"
Su Yun gritted his teeth in anger. He was pulled back into the embassy, where he saw that all two hundred and fifteen members of the Tongtian Pavilion, including himself as the Pavilion Master, were caught in the celestial rope's net. Not a single one escaped!
Everyone was left hanging in the embassy, unable to move.
Jing Zhao, after all, was a being of the Yuan Dao realm. He had activated the celestial rope, a great spiritual weapon that had once hanged Master Cen to death, and launched a sudden ambush. It resulted in a total wipeout of everyone present!
"Bastard!"
Jing Zhao seemed to have sobered up a bit, and he said viciously, "Burn down the Fire Cloud Cave!"
