Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Su Yun frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.

The three "Immortal Scriptures" recorded by the old God King can actually mobilize the elemental energy of heaven and earth, surpassing the limits of this world, and attracting the attention of the Immortal Sword.

The profound meaning hidden in this matter shocked him.

First of all, the three "Immortal Scriptures" recorded by the old God King are by no means Immortal Scriptures!

The true Immortal Scriptures are actually the Immortal Path!

The true purpose of the Immortal Scriptures is to open up a path to different worlds, such as the Guanghan Palace on the moon. The Immortal Scriptures are used to open the path to the Cassia Tree on the Guanghan Mountain.

On the continent of Yinghuo, the Fire God uses the Immortal Scriptures to open the North Crown Great Wall, to meet the Martial Immortal, or to open the passage of the North Crown Great Wall, allowing the Immortal Sword to descend.

And Yu Jin used the Immortal Scriptures to summon the Chaos Sea and the mysterious and unpredictable Great Cauldron, actually opening the passage between their world and the world where the Chaos Sea Great Cauldron is located, allowing the power of the Immortal Cauldron to descend.

Yu Jin sacrificed the ninety-six gods and demons, and ascended to the world, actually opening the passage between their world and the world of the outer heavenly paradise, bringing their world to the side of the outer heavenly paradise.

So, the Immortal Scriptures are the Immortal Path!

The Immortal Scriptures obtained by the old God King from the four major forbidden areas of the Heavenly Market, obviously do not have the function of opening a path, but rather resemble a means of mobilizing the elemental energy of heaven and earth!

When Su Yun just tried the first Immortal Scripture, the elemental energy of heaven and earth that he mobilized actually attracted the attention of the Immortal Sword, indicating how terrifying its power was!

The first Immortal Scripture is like a kind of Immortal Dao technique!

However, the second layer of profound meaning hidden in this matter made Su Yun somewhat horrified. That is...

The Immortal Sword does not seem to be the heavenly tribulation that the strong in the original Dao realm will face after reaching the ultimate level of cultivation!

The Immortal Sword seems more like a monitoring tool!

No matter what realm the spiritual master is in, as long as their power reaches a certain predetermined limit, it will trigger the Immortal Sword to descend and kill the opponent!

Su Yun has not yet reached the realm of the Heavenly Phenomenon, so it is impossible for him to face the heavenly tribulation. However, the power of the elemental energy of heaven and earth that he mobilized when activating the first Immortal Scripture was too powerful, reaching the predetermined limit.

At that moment, Su Yun felt that the Immortal Sword of the Martial Immortal on the North Crown Great Wall was illuminating him!

This is extremely terrifying.

Su Yun muttered to himself, "In other words, the Immortal Sword is not a true heavenly tribulation, but rather a means to eliminate all spiritual masters who have the potential to become immortals, keeping all living beings under the level of immortals in the worlds under the North Crown Great Wall!"

Ying Ying's expression also became serious as she said, "The Immortal Sword, the heavenly tribulation, is like a sieve, sifting out the powerful individuals who have the potential to become immortals and killing them!"

Su Yun continued, "So, it means that all the civilizations under the North Crown Great Wall have a limit to their level of development. Anyone who reaches this limit will either be killed or will actively hide their strength, so that their displayed strength does not exceed this limit. If it does, they will be eliminated!"

They looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

It was only then that they noticed that the countless "Fruit" monsters had also gathered around at some point, watching them together with wide eyes, showing a look of fear.

"We know this secret, we're going to die!" suddenly, one of the "Fruit" monsters shouted loudly.

The other "Fruit" monsters wailed and fled in all directions, crying out, "We're going to die! We're going to be silenced!"

Su Yun and Ying Ying could only smile wryly. They saw the island suddenly become chaotic, with countless bright red "Fruit" monsters flying around in a panic, crying out in fear.

Ying Ying said loudly, "This is just a possibility that we speculated, it may not be true!"

At that moment, the island suddenly shook violently, the trees on the island swaying as if the sky and earth were about to collapse!

Those trees were not actually trees, but rather gourd monsters, all of them shouting loudly, "We also know this secret, we're also going to be silenced!"

The shaking of the island became even more intense, and Ying Ying also became frightened, flying around in all directions and shouting, "The heavenly tribulation is erupting! We're also going to die!"

Su Yun hurriedly grabbed the dazed little book monster and said impatiently, "It's not the heavenly tribulation erupting, it's that this island is a living creature!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud rumble, and the "island" actually leaped out of the water, emitting a loud and resounding hum, revealing itself to be a giant Kun!

The back of the giant Kun exposed on the water's surface was more than ten miles long. Because it had been sleeping on the water's surface, it had become an island over the years. Countless monsters made their homes on the back of the Kun.

At this moment, the giant Kun's four huge fins vibrated up and down, flying up from the water and emitting a loud and melodious call, deafening: "I have learned the secret of becoming an immortal, I'm going to die, I'm going to be silenced!"

Su Yun quickly steadied himself, only to see that there were hundreds of large and small "islands" around the "island", and these islands were actually giant Kuns that had been sleeping together, all flying up into the air. Some of the islands on the back of the Kun were even hundreds of miles long!

However, Su Yun had not seen these "islands" just now!

Obviously, when Su Yun activated the Immortal Scripture technique and borrowed the power of heaven and earth, the movement was too great, awakening all the Kuns sleeping on the sea for thousands of miles.

These great Kuns, like the "Fruit" monsters, were curious and quietly approached, eavesdropping on Su Yun and Ying Ying's conversation!

The great Kuns vibrated their four fins in the air, their fins were extremely wide, and they were flying in the air. These divine beasts were in a state of panic, huddling together and wailing, thinking that they were going to be silenced.

And on the backs of these great Kuns, there were tens of thousands of large and small monsters, and even sea monsters. At this moment, they were also in a panic, jumping and shouting in confusion.

Su Yun's face darkened. He had thought that they were resting on a normal island, exchanging ideas, but he didn't expect that there would be so many curious eavesdroppers here.

"However, there are actually so many great Kuns in the North Sea!"Su Yun's heart stirred as he recalled his first voyage across the vast ocean, where he encountered the lonely Kun mother. He thought to himself, "That Kun lady mistook me for a young Kun, waiting for me to mature so we could propagate our species. Now I can tell her that there are more of her kin living in the North Sea!"

His mood brightened considerably as he continued on with Ying Ying, the recent revelation of the Immortal Sword Heavenly Tribulation being a grand filtering conspiracy had truly left him in despair.

"Ever since I first encountered the Immortal Sword, it has haunted my nightmares. I've met so many experts, and none could unravel the sword's secrets. But I believe that someday, I will meet someone who can break through the Immortal Sword's attack, bringing hope to everyone!"

Su Yun was very optimistic, saying to Ying Ying, "Just like how I thought the Kun race was extinct, with only that Kun girl in the Eastern Sea's Sea God Palace remaining, only to find so many Kuns in the North Sea. Our world is too small; in other worlds, there must be someone who can break the Immortal Sword and achieve immortality!"

Ying Ying nodded vigorously.

The great Kuns in the sky clamored and cried for a long time, but when no heavenly tribulation descended, they finally stopped their weeping.

They plunged into the water one after another, some to hunt for food, others to continue sleeping.

Su Yun stopped the oldest Kun and asked, "Senior, how much further must we travel along the North Sea to reach another world?"

"Don't call me senior, I'm still a youth, growing my body."

The great Kun swam alongside him, hundreds of miles long, and said in a deep voice, "The other world is sealed off, with barriers you cannot cross!"

"Sealed off?" Su Yun was surprised.

"There are human demons guarding it, claiming to sever the connection between the two worlds by divine decree, to cut off divine powers. That place is a forbidden zone; those who go there are eaten by the human demons." The great Kun shook its head and swam away.

"Human demons? Cut off divine powers?"

Su Yun was taken aback, and Ying Ying curiously said, "Are there so many human demons in this world? The remnants of human demons, Human Demon Wu Tong, we, along with the Eastern Master, suppressed a human demon in the North Sea. And there's another ahead who cuts off divine powers..."

Su Yun speculated, "Ying Ying, do you think the human demon guarding the boundary between the two worlds could be the same one the Eastern Master and others suppressed?"

Ying Ying laughed, "How could that be? That human demon caused chaos in ancient times, devouring people everywhere, until it was suppressed by the Eastern Master and others. It only had a chance to escape when the seal was loosened by Lingxi. If the guardian of the North Sea forbidden zone were him, wouldn't that mean the two worlds have been connected for a long time? Why haven't we seen people from the other world?"

Su Yun couldn't figure it out either.

They continued on their way, with Su Yun's true essence growing more vigorous and his spirit increasingly powerful, feeling that the day he would break through and transform his Li Pearl into a Heavenly Phenomenon spirit was drawing near.

These days, he continued to ponder how to use the Immortal Talisman Seal Technique. The technique involved mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, which was terrifyingly powerful but took too long to prepare. As a divine power, it had too many drawbacks; the time it took to prepare could leave one vulnerable to being killed hundreds of times over.

].

Therefore, Su Yun had to simplify the Immortal Talisman Seal Technique, making it as easy to use as moving his own limbs, at will.

However, this meant he could only mobilize a minimal amount of the energy of heaven and earth, limiting its power.

Moreover, he needed to continuously visualize and familiarize himself with the technique, practicing it over and over, imprinting it in his spirit before he could use it as a divine power.

Unknowingly, more than ten days passed, and Su Yun finally arrived at the formidable pass mentioned by the great Kun.

The so-called formidable pass was more aptly described as a city of black iron!

The surface of this black iron city was etched with countless demonic divine power runes, flickering uncertainly in the ocean, emitting a fearsome demonic aura!

On the boundless North Sea, countless corpses of large fish and sea beasts floated, decaying and rotting, with the surging waves pushing their bodies viciously against the city wall that severed the two worlds!

This black iron city stood between the North Sea, its long walls separating the two realms!

The so-called severing of divine powers meant cutting off the connection between gods and demons!

This black iron city prevented gods and demons from traveling between the two worlds!

Yet Su Yun noticed that, for some reason, one of the city gates was open!

"Could it be that the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan came here and opened the gate? Or is it that the human demon guarding this place was indeed the one suppressed by the ghost gods of our Celestial Market?"

Su Yun exchanged a glance with Ying Ying on his shoulder and quietly moved forward, entering the demonic city through the partially opened gate.

"If only Lingxi were here, we could ride it to the human demon and ask about the truth of this black iron city... I shouldn't have let it stay in Wu Tong's spirit realm."

Ying Ying murmured in complaint, "Su Scholar, it's all because you're not pure enough, Lingxi didn't want to stay in your spirit realm!"

Su Yun, puzzled, said, "I'm not pure, so Lingxi doesn't want to stay in my spirit realm, but Lingxi also doesn't want to stay in your spirit realm."

"Hmph!"

Ying Ying looked away, "I'm almost two hundred years old, it's normal for me to be impure, but you're only fifteen and already so impure!"

Su Yun defended himself, "But Ying Ying, you taught me—"

Ying Ying suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, right. Then it's fine."
