Having eliminated the enormous threat of the poisonous pool, Lu Lingxi Yao breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she knew that the deeper she went, the more dangerous and unpredictable the dangers would become.

"Let's keep going," Lu Lingxi said in a deep voice, her gaze sweeping over her exhausted companions, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

The four embarked on their journey once again, but this time they were more cautious, taking each step with utmost care.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment underwent tremendous changes, with the terrain gradually becoming more complex and treacherous.

The first thing they saw was a bottomless chasm that stretched across their path. The chasm was so wide that they couldn't see the other side at all. Below, it was pitch black and bottomless. Gusts of cold wind howled up from the chasm, making a sound like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, which made them feel terrified.

"This is... the abyss?" Huan Yue's voice trembled slightly as he gripped Lu Lingxi Yao's clothes tightly, clearly terrified by the sight.

"Be careful, don't fall in," Lu Lingxi Yao warned, feeling a chill run down her spine as well. The sinister aura emanating from this abyss was far more intense than anywhere else she had encountered before.

"Master, I can sense that there are very powerful undead souls in the depths of this abyss." The phantom's voice was deep. Its true form was the Soul-Devouring Vine, which was most sensitive to the aura of undead souls.

"Yes." Lu Lingxi nodded. She also sensed that this abyss was definitely not simple.

They proceeded cautiously along the edge of the abyss, not daring to be careless in the slightest. Every now and then, a few ghosts would fly out of the abyss and pounce on them, but they were all easily dealt with.

They bypassed the abyss and came to a cliff. The cliff was steep and smooth, almost vertical at ninety degrees, towering into the clouds with no top in sight. No grass grew on the cliff, only bare black rocks, exuding a cold aura.

"How... how do we get across?" Huan Yue looked up at the cliff, her face full of helplessness.

"I come."

As Zhuque spoke, she transformed into a fire phoenix and flew towards the cliff. However, just as she flew halfway up, several black beams of light suddenly shot out from the cliff and attacked her.

Zhuque reacted extremely quickly, dodging swiftly, but was still grazed by a black light, leaving a charred mark on her wing.

"hateful!"

With a roar, Zhuque opened her mouth and spat out a stream of phoenix fire, which burned towards the cliff. However, the flames did not react at all when they hit the cliff.

“There are restrictions on this cliff that can withstand spiritual attacks,” Lu Lingxi said in a deep voice, having already seen through the clues.

"Then what should we do? We can't just fly there, can we?" Huan Yue asked.

"I'll try."

Lu Lingxi said, she walked to the cliff, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the cold rock. She closed her eyes and began to sense the restrictions on the cliff. After a moment, she opened her eyes and a look of enlightenment flashed in them.

“Although this restriction is powerful, it is not insurmountable,” Lu Lingxi said. “I can use earth-elemental spiritual power to build a temporary passage on the cliff.”

As she spoke, she began to activate the earth-elemental spiritual power within her body. She formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and streams of earth-yellow spiritual power surged from her body and flowed into the cliff face.

"Rumble..."

The cliff began to tremble, and huge rocks broke off from the cliff, then reassembled in the air to form a winding staircase leading upwards.

"Everyone be careful, these steps are unstable and could collapse at any time," Lu Lingxi Yao warned.

“Master, I’ll scout ahead,” Phantom said, manipulating the Soul-Devouring Vine, its tendrils extending forward like tentacles as it explored the path ahead.

“Okay.” Lu Lingxi nodded.

With the help of the phantom, they avoided some unstable areas and climbed upwards smoothly. However, just as they were about to reach the top of the cliff, an accident occurred.

With a loud "boom," the steps beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and the four of them plummeted downwards.

"Not good!" Lu Lingxi's expression changed drastically. She reacted quickly, activating her spatial spiritual power, trying to teleport to a safe place.

However, she discovered that the surrounding space was imprisoned by a powerful force, and she was unable to use spatial teleportation.

"It's a restriction on the cliff!" Lu Lingxi Yao instantly understood. This restriction could not only resist spiritual attacks, but also imprison space.

As they were about to fall into the abyss, a resolute glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes.

"Phantom Moon, Phantom Shadow, protect yourselves!" she shouted, then concentrated all her spiritual power into the Flying Snow Sword.

"Flying Snow Sword, break!" She swung the Flying Snow Sword, and a dazzling sword light slashed towards the cliff.

"boom!"

The sword light struck the cliff face with a deafening roar. A crack was cleaved in the cliff's protective barrier. Seizing the opportunity, she activated her spatial spiritual power and vanished from the spot with Illusion Moon, Illusion Shadow, and Vermilion Bird.

The next moment, they appeared at the top of the cliff.

"call……"

Lu Lingxi Yao let out a long sigh of relief. She felt weak; that sword strike had almost exhausted all her spiritual power.

"Master, are you alright?" Huan Yue and Huan Ying asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Lu Lingxi shook her head.
