My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

Upon hearing this, Cui Ying did not immediately answer Lei Yi. Instead, with a somewhat uncertain expression, she slowly landed from mid-air, and the feeling of unease in her heart gradually subsided.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she walked a few more feet forward, glancing intently at the fissure canyon not far away and the area below.

The canyon, formed by the fissure in the earth, was about twenty or thirty feet wide, but the abyss that descended forty or fifty feet was blocked by a layer of grayish-white mist. The mist was so thick that it made it impossible to see what was inside the canyon.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, what exactly have you discovered?"

Lei Yi, who was standing nearby, frowned upon seeing this, but after a careful examination, he found nothing.

"and many more!"

Cui Ying still did not answer Lei Yi's question directly. Instead, she glanced at the ground nearby and then picked up a stone the size of an egg with one hand.

She lightly weighed it in one hand, felt its weight, took a deep breath, and suddenly swung her arm, throwing the object hard across the canyon.

"whoosh"

The rock shot out like a meteor towards the opposite side, but after flying only three or four zhang, it suddenly stopped and fell rapidly down into the canyon.

Its speed was several times faster than when it came.

Upon witnessing this, Lei Yi's expression changed several times. Before Cui Ying could make another move, he also grabbed a rock the size of a human head with one hand.

After taking a deep breath, his arm suddenly thickened, and with a swift turn of his body, he raised his arm, sending the stone flying towards the mountains on the other side of the canyon as if it had been launched by a catapult.

But to his surprise, the rock only flew seven or eight zhang before suddenly stopping and plummeting rapidly into the depths of the canyon, as if some inexplicable force was pulling it.

"It's a gravitational field."

Cui Ying withdrew her gaze and finally made a thoughtful judgment.

"It's actually the legendary natural gravity field!"

Lei Yi stared at the stone that had long since disappeared and gasped in shock.

After all, if Cui Ying hadn't been the first to notice something was wrong, and he had rashly flown into the canyon, he probably would have been dragged into the abyss by that invisible gravity, just like those two stones.

Although he didn't know what lay beneath the thick fog, he could tell with his toes that it was definitely not a pleasant place.

Moreover, as far as he knew, although such naturally formed forbidden areas were extremely rare, once formed, the dangers they contained far exceeded those of ordinary forbidden areas.

With their current cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is absolutely impossible for them to withstand such a strange and inexplicable gravitational magnetic field and fly safely through the sky.

Thinking of this, Lei Yi and Cui Ying exchanged a glance and finally guessed why the Xiao family had invited cultivators from all four regions to enter the secret realm.

The existence of such a formidable barrier has deterred countless Qi Refining cultivators from venturing forth.

But it's impossible to ask them to give up exploring those treasure mountains not far away.

Both of them could see the eagerness in each other's eyes, but neither of them had a way to satisfy both in the short term.

After glancing at the other side of the canyon a few more times, Cui Ying's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she seemed to be calculating something with a thoughtful expression.

A moment later, a glint flashed in her eyes, and the Yao Guang Sword suddenly flew out from her waist with a clear whistle. She poured her pure magical power into the sword, and then held it horizontally in front of her. Immediately, an astonishing sword aura shot up from her body.

With a long howl, Cui Ying unleashed a burst of sword energy that swirled in the air before returning to the Yao Guang sword in her hand. After a flash of silver light, the energy vanished without a trace.

Then, Cui Ying suddenly swung the Yao Guang sword again, and after stomping heavily on the ground with one foot, it transformed into a chilling light over ten feet long, which shot out towards the opposite side.

The speed was as fast as lightning.

"Body and sword become one!"

Lei Yi, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.

With his knowledge, it wasn't hard for him to see that Cui Ying was using the Body and Sword Integration Technique, which only sword cultivators could master after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, as far as he knew, many sword cultivators with slightly less talent were unable to use this divine ability even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that swordsmanship is difficult to master.

Furthermore, this technique combines all the body's magical power with the magic sword, and is usually used by sword cultivators to kill powerful enemies.

Using it to leap across the canyon at this moment is really a waste of its potential.

Just as Lei Yi was pondering this, the canyon once again displayed an astonishing downward pulling force.

But Cui Ying was no ordinary person. After a few flashes of her sword light, the void hissed and tore open, breaking through the gravity and leaping directly to the other side of the canyon.

Just as Lei Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the cold light vanished, and Cui Ying's figure reappeared.

However, Cui Ying's beautiful and spirited face was slightly pale at this moment, obviously the flight had also consumed a lot of her magic power.

But after glancing back at the now-calm canyon, she sheathed the Yao Guang sword, placed the Ta Xue on the ground, and then smiled slightly as she waited for Lei Yi's next move.

"Ha ha!"

Upon seeing this, Lei Yi laughed heartily and then leaped into the air. No one knew what secret technique he used, but under Cui Ying's astonished gaze, he was actually walking slowly forward on the void.

Moreover, with each step he took, his body shone with a bright red light, and a flaming lotus flower bloomed beneath his feet, steadily supporting his body and preventing him from falling.

The fiery lotus flowers, transformed from blazing flames, bloomed and then vanished in an instant above the canyon, and Lei Yi arrived at Cui Ying's side without stopping at all.

He looked up again, revealing a handsome face full of arrogance:

"I've kept Fellow Daoist Cui waiting!"

He grinned at Cui Ying and then strode ahead.

After a short while, the two arrived at the edge of the snowstorm. Lei Yi stared intently at the mountain peaks half-hidden behind the snowstorm, and then, enveloped in a layer of red light, he flashed into the snow-white world in front of him.

"This time, let me, Lei, go and scout ahead first!"

Cui Ying smiled faintly, looked at the vast white world in the distance, and then stepped into it with Ta Xue.

But after taking a few steps, a gust of wind and snow hit her in the face, and Cui Ying immediately felt a chill, as if her whole body was about to be frozen.

Her expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, she took out the Youhuang Banner and activated it with one hand. It released billowing black energy, completely enveloping herself and Ta Xue beside her. At the same time, the magic power in her dantian surged to all parts of her body, dispelling all the cold energy that had entered her body and continuing to circulate throughout her body, keeping her body warm.

In this way, Cui Ying's speed increased considerably, and she gradually caught up with Lei Yi ahead of her.
