Huangfu Tingfeng glanced at Tan Yun thoughtfully before speaking in a calm voice.
“Everyone, there’s no need to overthink this.” He paused briefly, then continued, “To be honest, I was the one who asked Brother Tan not to kill Ke Xinyi.”
The moment those words were spoken, everyone froze for a second before nodding in understanding.
“So that’s how it was…”
But in truth, only Tan Yun, Ke Xinyi, Mu Mengji, and Xue Ziyan knew the real reason.
Huangfu Tingfeng was deliberately helping Tan Yun come up with an explanation to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
And honestly, that was exactly the case.
Although Huangfu Tingfeng still didn’t fully understand why Tan Yun and Ke Xinyi had suddenly reconciled, he knew one thing clearly—
without a reasonable explanation, people would inevitably start making wild guesses.
…
Over the next 1 month—
out of the 129 disciples who entered secluded cultivation to break through,
128 successfully advanced into the **1st level of the Soul Refining Realm**, one after another.
The only exception was Zhongwu Shiyao.
Previously, she had only been at the **9th level of the Fetal Soul Realm**, but now she had successfully reached the **Great Perfection of the Fetal Soul Realm** and had already begun faintly sensing the threshold of the Soul Refining Realm.
The moment Zhongwu Shiyao opened her eyes, her graceful figure flashed forward and appeared directly in front of Tan Yun with a sweet smile.
“I broke through! I’ve finally reached Great Perfection!”
Tan Yun smiled faintly before wrapping an arm around her slim waist and lifting her into the air with a gentle spin.
“My little girl really is amazing.”
“Hehe, of course I am!” Zhongwu Shiyao giggled, her cheeks turning rosy as her beautiful face lit up brightly. Then she asked softly,
“So… did you miss me?”
“Every single breath,” Tan Yun whispered before lightly kissing her forehead.
“Hmph, always saying sweet things.” Zhongwu Shiyao puffed her cheeks playfully before slipping free from his embrace and happily running off to chat with Mu Mengji.
…
Not long afterward—
Tan Yun gathered everyone together.
There were now a total of **278 people** remaining.
Among them:
* **255 disciples** from the Alchemy Lineage
* **4 disciples** from the Elder Lineage, including Huangfu Tingfeng
* **5 disciples** from the Formation Lineage, including Gongsun Ruoxi and Zhongwu Shiyao
* Only Lu Ren remained from the Wind and Thunder Lineage
* Only Ke Xinyi remained from the Sacred Soul Lineage
* Shangguan Bingbing, Jun Buping, Xiao Qingxuan, and Baili Longtian represented the Ancient Soul Lineage
* And Xue Ziyan from the Five Souls Lineage
In other words—
out of nearly **1,000 disciples** from the Huangfu Sacred Sect who had entered the trial,
only this small group remained alive.
And that didn’t even include the missing disciples of the Five Souls Lineage, whose fate was still unknown.
Although the losses were devastating, compared to the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace—which had only **1 survivor out of 3,000 disciples** left alive, Nangong Yuqin—
and the Eternal Immortal Sect—which had only **1 survivor out of 2,000 disciples**, Ru Yanchen—
the Huangfu Sacred Sect had achieved an unprecedented victory in this trial.
…
At that moment, Tan Yun swept his gaze across the crowd and spoke seriously.
“Everyone, our next destination will be the God Burial Abyss. We’re going there to search for treasures.”
“Other than Brother Huangfu and the others, the Alchemy disciples already know about the Wind Thunder Dragon.”
“So today, I’ll explain everything again.”
The moment they heard the words “Wind Thunder Dragon,” Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, Xiao Qingxuan, and Baili Longtian all looked at Tan Yun in confusion.
“Wind Thunder Dragon?” they asked, unable to understand what he meant.
Tan Yun took a slow breath before speaking gravely.
“4 months ago, while Gongsun Ruoxi was passing through the God Burial Abyss, she was attacked by a Level 3 Tribulation-Stage Wind Thunder Dragon.”
“And that dragon… came directly out of the God Burial Abyss itself.”
The words **“Level 3 Tribulation-Stage”** struck Huangfu Tingfeng and the others like a bolt of lightning.
Their minds buzzed violently.
Everyone’s expressions changed instantly, filled with overwhelming shock and disbelief!
Everyone knew very well that a **Level 3 Tribulation Beast** possessed strength almost equal to a cultivator at the **Great Perfection of the Soul Refining Realm**!
At that moment, Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, and the others who had once hidden within the black mist of the God Burial Abyss alongside Tan Yun all felt a chill run down their spines.
Fear slowly crept into their hearts.
If they had known from the beginning that a **Level 3 Tribulation Beast** was lurking inside the God Burial Abyss…
many of them probably would never have dared to hide within the black mist and ambush their enemies there.
Tan Yun glanced at everyone’s changing expressions before speaking calmly.
“Risk and reward always come together.”
“The appearance of the Wind Thunder Dragon from the God Burial Abyss is already enough proof that this place is filled with deadly danger.”
“If you follow me inside, I’ll do my best to protect everyone. But even with ‘Big Guy’ here…”
“I still can’t guarantee all of your safety.”
“So think carefully before deciding whether or not to enter.”
Silence fell briefly after his words.
But not long afterward, everyone nodded decisively.
They were going!
In everyone’s eyes, the God Burial Abyss was a land filled with treasures left behind by fallen gods.
A temptation like that…
was impossible to resist.
Furthermore, no disciple had ever managed to reach the true depths of the abyss before.
That meant priceless treasures, rare materials, and heavenly spiritual herbs were almost certainly still hidden inside!
Even if they failed to obtain a divine weapon, gaining a rare treasure alone would already make the trip worthwhile.
And so—
despite knowing it was practically a land of death…
they still chose to enter.
“Since you’ve all made your decision, then we’ll depart for the God Burial Abyss immediately.”
Tan Yun said with a faint smile before generously adding,
“I obtained quite a lot of spoils from battle. You can all choose treasures that suit your own attributes.”
The instant he finished speaking, Si Yuexuan immediately understood his meaning.
With a light wave of her Qiankun Ring—
Whoosh!
More than **4,000 magical treasures** floated into the air, radiating dazzling light that left everyone stunned.
Si Yuexuan smiled faintly.
“Among these treasures, even the lowest rank is a High-Grade Magical Treasure. Most are Top-Grade Magical Treasures.”
“Feel free to choose whatever you want.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up instantly.
After all, aside from the few top-ranked geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Rankings after the Nine Lineages Competition, most ordinary disciples only possessed mid-grade treasures provided by the sect.
But now…
they had the chance to freely choose from thousands of high-grade and top-grade treasures!
And then Tan Yun’s next sentence excited them even more.
“Whatever you choose, I’ll personally give it to you.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Tan!”
Voices filled with excitement erupted immediately as everyone hurried to pick their treasures.
---
Not long afterward—
Tan Yun personally piloted Huangfu Tingfeng’s top-grade spirit ship, leading everyone out of the forest and toward the God Burial Abyss located **300,000 li** away.
8 hours later, at dawn the next day—
the spirit ship slowly drifted into the God Burial Abyss while staying extremely close to the ground.
The purpose was simple:
to allow everyone to observe their surroundings more carefully and search for rare herbs or hidden treasures along the way.
“Big Guy, stay alert.”
Tan Yun ordered in a low voice.
“ROAR!”
The Golden Heavenly Dragon leapt out from his arms and landed on his shoulder, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
Inside the dense black mist, ordinary cultivators could only see around **1,000 zhang** ahead.
But for the Golden Dragon—
its vision could penetrate through the darkness for **hundreds of li**.
The spirit ship advanced another **1,000 li** deeper into the abyss.
The black mist suddenly began swirling violently like stormy ocean waves—
and in the next instant, a sharp screech pierced through the air from ahead!
According to the jade map of the Eternal Heavenly Realm Trial, the **true entrance of the abyss** was only **300 li** away.
The entrance itself stretched thousands of zhang wide, towering endlessly into the sky.
The moment anyone stepped inside—
they would immediately be eroded by destructive energy.
Tan Yun turned back toward the crowd, his expression becoming incomparably serious.
“Prepare yourselves…”
“We’re about to enter.”
