Creation of the Universe

Shen Jingjuan was overjoyed and thought she had killed Shen Zhan.

However, when she got closer, she was shocked to find that the body that was cut in half was actually just an afterimage made of condensed ice.

At this time, the real Shen Zhan was nowhere to be found, and the young man in black clothes who was with him also disappeared out of thin air.

"What exactly is going on?"

Shen Jingjuan stood there in shock. She was the only one left in the empty cave, and she didn't know when the huge earth dragon turtle would suddenly wake up.

All of a sudden, she felt an endless chill coming towards her from all directions.

When the restriction on Shen Zhan and Han Fei was broken, their feet suddenly felt empty and both of them fell from a high place into a dark and unknown cave.

Shen Zhan, who recovered first, immediately released a group of blue-flame blood-winged insects, using the blue flames on their tails to instantly illuminate the entire cave.

He found that this was a not very spacious corridor with many forks in the road. They were in the center. Every fork in the road led to the unknown. It seemed that they could only guess what to choose.

Shen Zhan stood up and brushed off the dust on his clothes. Then he saw Han Fei struggling to get up, but he was very weak.

Just now, when he used the Ghostly Induction to forcibly suppress the Earth Dragon Turtle, he consumed almost all of his spiritual power. Fortunately, when he was about to collapse, the restriction was successfully broken.

"how do you feel?"

Shen Zhan came in front of Han Fei. The latter's face was very pale and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

Han Fei gave a bitter laugh and told Shen Zhan, "At that last moment, I almost exhausted all my spiritual power. The demons and ghosts instantly backfired. I have no cultivation left now. You can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

After saying this, he put on an attitude as if he was ready to be killed.

Shen Zhan was surprised and said, "What are you thinking? Why would I have to kill you? We have fallen into a completely unfamiliar place. The most important thing is to find an exit and leave."

Han Fei suddenly seemed to have lost the will to live. He bit his lips and teeth and said dejectedly, "It doesn't matter. Losing my cultivation is no different from death to me. Even if you don't kill me, I will stay here."

"Don't you still have a great vengeance to avenge? Are you really willing to die here?"

"Without cultivation, how can I seek revenge? I have been desperately seeking to become stronger, but in the end, it's all in vain. Perhaps this is the destined ending."

Han Fei's words were full of despair. He seemed to be really ready to wait for death to come, and he no longer had any desire to escape.

Shen Zhan was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Well, there's no friendship between you and me. Since you think you should die here, then so be it. I still have a lot of important things to do, and my sister is still waiting for me to return."

As he spoke, Shen Zhan walked towards the dark entrances.

At this time, Han Fei's voice came from behind, "You said you have something very important to do, what is it?"

"Of course I will avenge my grudges and avenge my grievances. You are not the only one in this world who carries hatred. It's just that I am more rational than you and know how to act more wisely."

"What about you? How powerful is the one you want to avenge, that you would resort to all sorts of unorthodox methods to enhance your own strength?"

Han Fei didn't expect Shen Zhan to ask this question. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before answering, "That man was a sect leader. Five years ago, he led people to break into my home, killed my parents, and stole a seventh-grade spiritual weapon passed down from my family. He even took my brother away and made him a prisoner."

When Han Fei talked about the past, he was almost furious. The hatred in his heart made Shen Zhan realize that this man was not a bad person by nature, and the reason he went astray was just to avenge his family.

So he casually threw something in front of Han Fei.

"Losing your cultivation, which is based on such an unorthodox technique as the Demonic Ghost Guidance, might not be a bad thing. I happen to have a copy of the Mysterious Yang Righteous Qi Sutra. Although it's not a particularly remarkable technique, it can help you rebuild your foundation and be reborn."

"It depends on whether you want to take a different route."

Han Fei looked at the ancient and dilapidated martial arts book, and without hesitation for long, he reached out and picked it up.

"I haven't gotten my revenge yet, so I really shouldn't give up so easily. But I have to start all over again. I don't know when I'll be able to kill my enemy!"

Shen Zhan said, "You have a good foundation. Practicing the Xuanyang Zhengqi Jue will make you progress faster than you think. Now, let's not talk too much. The first problem is that we have to find a way back to the ground from here."

After the two reached an agreement, they stood in front of the intricate corridor. After careful counting, there were as many as eleven entrances. No one could predict where each entrance led to.

"This damn place is going to trap us to death. You make your choice."

Han Fei was at a loss as to what to do with the current situation. Now it seemed that he could only rely on his luck.

But Shen Zhan said, "Making a blind choice may bring very bad results. I think I should look around here. Maybe I can find something."

"I didn't see anything except the solid rock and the dirt beneath my feet."

Han Fei simply sat down where he was. He needed to recover as much strength as possible, otherwise even if he found a way out, it would be difficult for him to hold on until the moment he walked out of here.

Shen Zhan didn't say anything. He was carefully checking every corner around him. The reason why he said he wanted to look for clues was not just a fantasy.

On the contrary, he did feel some fluctuations of spiritual energy, so he wanted to try to find it, maybe he would make an unexpected discovery.

After searching for a while, Han Fei said to him, "Give up. There's nothing here. It's better to just choose an entrance and walk around."

"found it!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Shen Zhan made a discovery.

Han Fei walked over curiously and saw that right under Shen Zhan's feet, there seemed to be a vine emerging from the soil.

Shen Zhan continued to move the soil with his toes, and the vines meandered and extended into one of the entrances, which immediately gave Shen Zhan a great boost of confidence.

"Follow this vine and we can get out."

Han Fei asked in surprise: "Are you so sure?"

Shen Zhan replied, "When I entered here before, there was a huge fallen tree at the entrance of the cave. Although it looked dead, I could sense the remaining spiritual energy within the trunk, just like the spiritual energy on this vine right now."
