Chapter 1605: Chapter 1605: Everyone Was Stunned
Although still somewhat puzzled, having been with Mu Hanyan for so long, they also knew Mu Hanyan’s character, who would never speak recklessly, let alone joke with lives, so they didn’t say much more, lining up behind Mu Hanyan.
Of course, trust is one thing, but facing the thick mist, everyone couldn’t help but feel uneasy and instinctively stayed on high alert.
Seeing their tense expressions, Mu Hanyan didn’t say much either, striding forward.
"Young Master Mu, be careful!" a young man suddenly shouted in a trembling voice.
A chasm dozens of feet wide lay across the earth, just a step away from Mu Hanyan. Due to the mist, the abyss appeared very suddenly, and it wasn’t noticed until Mu Hanyan was close, but Mu Hanyan remained unaware, continuing to stride forward.
Worse still, perhaps moving too quickly, Mu Hanyan seemed oblivious, showing no sign of stopping as she stepped toward the abyssal rift.
"This is bad!" Everyone’s hearts sank simultaneously.
Logically, with their cultivation, even without using the Wind Control Skill freely, they could still float briefly. If this were outside the North Abyss Misty Plain, even falling from a cliff might not be a problem, but this was the North Abyss Misty Plain. Listening to how serious Ye Lanfeng had been, they could guess that within the Earth Split Abyss there were likely raging currents, blade-like winds, and chaos in the Power of Laws, rendering their rudimentary Wind Control Skill almost useless.
If Mu Hanyan fell like this, it would be a miracle if she didn’t die.
In a hurry, they couldn’t think too much, Zhuang Ping’an and Sang Qinghe simultaneously moved underfoot, ready to rescue, but then they stopped immediately.
"What’s wrong, why are you all stunned? Hurry up, I’m in a rush," Mu Hanyan urged.
Looking at Mu Hanyan standing steadily above the bottomless abyss, everyone was stunned.
"Come on, what you’re seeing is just an illusion, the Earth Split Abyss is still dozens of feet away," Mu Hanyan said.
In fact, she wasn’t quite sure where the Earth Split Abyss was; she couldn’t see it within her field of vision.
Only then did Zhuang Ping’an and the others wake up from a dream. Seeing Mu Hanyan’s composed demeanor, they realized the Earth Split Abyss was just an illusion. But they couldn’t figure out how she discovered it, puzzling everyone.
Soon, everyone followed along. Even knowing the Earth Split Abyss was merely an illusion, they couldn’t help but sweat bullets when stepping over it, as the scene was so realistic until they stepped across to see the solid ground beneath their feet.
Crossing the nonexistent Earth Split Abyss, Mu Hanyan led the group towards the Heavenly Curtain.
Suddenly, Mu Hanyan furrowed her brows and veered diagonally forward.
"Young Master Mu, where are we going?" Seeing Mu Hanyan walking in circles, Zhuang Ping’an and others were puzzled.
As soon as the words were spoken, they saw a sudden surge of energy in the direction they initially advanced, then it converged into a whirlwind over a person’s height. Such a small whirlwind posed no threat to them, but as it spun, it stirred the chaotic Heaven and Earth Power around, and within a few breaths, the whirlwind reached several feet high, and within more than a dozen breaths, it grew dozens of feet high, sweeping from their initial advance direction.
Where it passed, no vegetation remained, it was as if the ground had been plowed clean, even pieces of solid rock several feet high turned to dust.
Zhuang Ping’an and others secretly wiped off cold sweat, this Desolate Storm appeared so suddenly, transforming rapidly, and most importantly, it nearly brushed past them.
If Mu Hanyan hadn’t noticed in advance, they would have definitely been engulfed in this storm. Even though the storm wasn’t exceptionally strong, defending against it with their power would be extremely dangerous, with certain casualties.
Zhuang Ping’an and others were still fearful, looking at Mu Hanyan both with admiration and confusion.
According to Ye Lanfeng, even he couldn’t prevent the Desolate Storm, only able to resist after it appeared. How did Mu Hanyan discover it?
Mu Hanyan was also somewhat surprised. With the enhancement of Divine Sense, not only could she see the scenes behind the mist, but she could also sense the subtle flow of the chaotic Heaven and Earth Power. Earlier, she felt the Heaven and Earth Power ahead suddenly converging to a point, which triggered her alertness and made her change direction immediately.
However, she wasn’t certain there would be a Desolate Storm until it appeared beside her, confirming her intuition was right.
It turned out that with the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique and the Phoenix Heart Stone, the effect was so miraculous!
"What is this? Once you restore your Divine Martial Body, with a thought, you can observe a thousand miles." Just as Mu Hanyan was silently marveling, the voice of Star Illusion Thousand Machine rang out again.
Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked. To observe a thousand miles with a thought, what level of cultivation is that? No wonder another plane’s powerful cultivators are revered as gods, only a god could have such abilities.
Mu Hanyan suddenly felt ashamed for being intimidated by the Third Realm of Sword Saint before. Compared to the legendary gods, what is the Third Realm of Sword Saint? That godlike realm is her true goal, and the Third Realm of Sword Saint is merely a bump on her cultivation path, not even a threshold.
Thinking this way, Mu Hanyan felt enlightened, her once disheartened spirit due to the Destruction Sword Dao became firm again.
Continuing towards the Heavenly Curtain, Mu Hanyan led the way in avoiding several more Earth Split Abysses and a more imposing Desolate Storm. As for the Exotic Beasts, supposedly far more ferocious than their counterparts in the Longyan Mountain, Zhuang Ping’an and others hadn’t seen a single one.
They knew Ye Lanfeng was certainly not exaggerating; the reason they hadn’t encountered any Exotic Beasts was thanks to Mu Hanyan.
As they moved forward, everyone’s mood relaxed more and more. Despite the increasing intensity of the chaotic Heaven and Earth Power, without dealing with those three major crises, they coped well.
"Young Master Mu, how exactly do you do it?" after once more avoiding a Desolate Storm safely, Zhuang Ping’an couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s simple, really. Hanyan was once praised by Shen Moce and several Star Divination Masters as Anyun’s number one Divine Fortune Teller. The Earth Split Abyss and Desolate Storm are just a matter of divination." Ye Yanran replied matter-of-factly.
"Unexpectedly, Young Master Mu not only possesses profound cultivation and is adept in array and alchemy dao but also has such achievements in the Star Divination Technique." Zhuang Ping’an and others were truly convinced, venerating Mu Hanyan’s talent to the utmost.
