Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 87 – Night exploration and robbery of the ash factory

The Shuofang City at night was exceptionally beautiful, with tall buildings and bright lights. Even on the cloud bridge, there were hanging gray lamps to illuminate pedestrians and carts.

However, Su Yun walked at the bottom of Shuofang City, where it was dark, cold, and the lights were dim.

But as Chi Xiaoyao said, the bottom of Shuofang City was the busiest at this time. The people at the bottom were exhausted from the day but emitted amazing vitality at this time. There were all kinds of vendors on both sides of the street, but no one dared to come out to the street, only hiding under the eaves.

--Because no one knew what would fall from the cloud bridge.

The upper level of Shuofang City was not safe either. Sometimes people would fall, and sometimes even beasts would fall.

Su Yun walked quickly in the market, urging the Honglu Shanchan Breathing Technique while trying to incorporate the Ying Long Sensing Breathing Technique into this skill.

The market was very noisy, with people coming and going, but Su Yun walked through the crowd as if he was in a deserted place, without touching anyone.

Su Yun used to focus on the creation of the Honglu Shanchan Breathing Technique, refining the Yin and Yang of the world's qi into his own blood.

But now that he has obtained the Twelve Heavenly Gates' skills, he has gained a deeper understanding of the Honglu Shanchan Breathing Technique.

Everything changes without rest.

Flowing and migrating, sometimes pushing back.

Form and qi change continuously, transforming and shifting.

Endless and boundless, how can one describe it!

This is the discussion of transformation in the Honglu Shanchan Breathing Technique. It means that everything is constantly changing, running and turning repeatedly without a fixed pattern. The transformation between form and qi involves interchanging, continuing, changing, migrating, shedding, and transforming, which is profound and endless.

Su Yun did not understand this deeply before, but now that he has obtained the Twelve Heavenly Gates' skills, he suddenly realized it!

He used himself as the Honglu, as if there was a Honglu in his chest that could contain the Yin and Yang of the qi and refine them into his own blood. His blood transformed into the form of an Ying Long above the Honglu, interweaving into a vivid image!

The transformation between form and qi is divided into six types: transformation, continuation, change, migration, shedding, and transformation. As his visualization became more refined, the Ying Long he imagined became more vivid.

At this moment, he sensed that he had established a strange connection with a great creature in the void.

Ying Long!

"Are there really such divine beings as Ying Long in this world? Or, like the dragon in the clouds during the village's tribulation, are they all made of the world's qi?"

Su Yun was shocked inexplicably. His spiritual sense seemed to be able to see the Ying Long. The Ying Long in the void was magnificent, majestic, and even larger than the sun. It flapped its wings and cruised in the boundless void, revealing its ancientness.

He could even sense the dragon chant of the Ying Long and the fluctuations of that ancient and grand thought!

As his skill operated, his connection with the Ying Long became clearer and clearer.

A strong Ying Long's qi surged from the void, strengthening his physique, enhancing his blood, and making his body stronger and more refined.

As he constructed the Ying Long form more clearly, his sense of the Ying Long in the void became clearer, and the surging Ying Long's qi became stronger!

His cultivation speed also increased!

Although Su Yun has already reached the sixth level of the foundation building, he has been diligently practicing the Honglu Shanchan Breathing Technique every day. However, his progress has reached a bottleneck in the foundation building realm. Even if he practices diligently, his cultivation has not improved much.However, after integrating the Dragon Sensing Chapter into the Honglu Transformation, Su Yun's cultivation unexpectedly improved greatly once again!

"The dragon I sensed is not a real dragon."

Su Yun's sensing of the dragon in the void became clearer and clearer, to the point where he could even observe every detail of the dragon. Therefore, he concluded that this dragon was just a conglomeration of the qi of heaven and earth, not a real dragon!

Because the form and spirit of this dragon were exactly the same as the relief dragon on the Chao Tian Que that he had envisioned!

He knew that the dragon he had envisioned must have some deviation from a real dragon, so Su Yun concluded that the dragon he sensed was just a kind of qi that existed in the world!

When the entire village turned into a dragon and crossed the tribulation, Su Yun and Hua Hu and others rushed into the thunderclouds to escape the pursuit of the scholar Tong Xuan. They saw a dragon in the thunderclouds.

Hua Hu and others thought it was a real dragon, but Su Yun "saw" that the dragon in the clouds was a kind of dragon-shaped qi that had condensed.

"The dragon formed by the qi of heaven and earth, and the dragon formed by the qi of heaven and earth. When the entire village turned into a dragon, a dragon formed by the qi of heaven and earth appeared. When I practiced the Dragon Sensing Chapter, a dragon formed by the qi of heaven and earth also appeared. There seems to be some connection here..."

Su Yun pondered, what exactly was this connection?

He was puzzled.

Gradually, Su Yun "saw" an imprint of a dragon on the wall of his Honglu furnace in his body, and he was secretly surprised: "Could this be the technique imprint that Di Ping talked about?"

Di Ping said that the twelve techniques of the Twelve Chao Tian Que would be transformed into twelve imprints, which would be imprinted on the Honglu furnace. When the techniques were activated, the twelve techniques would merge into one!

After pondering for a moment, Su Yun switched to the second Sensing Chapter, the Bright Sensing Chapter.

He envisioned the Bright Divine Beast above the Honglu furnace in his body, and filled it with his own blood and qi to perfect it. Soon, he also molded the Bright Divine Beast.

The moment the Bright Divine Beast was molded, Su Yun immediately sensed that he had established a connection with an ancient and powerful existence in the universe!

The Bright Divine Beast had vast and profound thoughts, as if it could perceive everything!

When Su Yun practiced the Bright Sensing Chapter to the point where it was imprinted on the wall of the Honglu furnace, he could also "see" the Bright Divine Beast clearly!

This Bright Divine Beast was exactly the same as the one he had envisioned, obviously also a kind of qi of heaven and earth!

Su Yun began to try the Gluttony Sensing Chapter, and it was the same. The Gluttony he sensed was not a real divine beast, but a conglomeration of the qi of heaven and earth!

He also tried the Qiong Qi Sensing Chapter, and it was the same.

Su Yun frowned, and at this moment, he realized that he had unknowingly come to the outside of the Jie Hui Factory. There were also four sacred patterns on the four walls of his Honglu furnace in his body.

When he activated the Honglu Transformation again, he immediately established a connection with the four great sacred qi!

Su Yun's heart trembled. How strong was the Great Unification technique? Could it be comparable to humans and demons at the same level?

Outside the Jie Hui Factory, the miners were still working hard, mining the Jie Hui and sending it to the Liuli Factory and other places for smelting. Although it was night, there were lights everywhere, and the Jie Hui lamps hung high for illumination.

After the Jie Hui monsters had a rampage and killed many people, the government came to investigate and sealed off the mine where the incident occurred. So the Jie Hui Factory opened a new mine.

Su Yun looked around from afar, and his heart moved. He saw many scholars with unified clothing wandering in the Jie Hui Factory."Could it be that after the chaos caused by the Grey Robber last time, the Tong family suffered great losses and sent scholars to guard here?" he thought to himself.

However, he did not know that the Grey Robber incident was only one reason. The other reason was that Master Tu Ming and other teachers from the Wen Chang Academy extorted the manager of the Grey Robber Factory. The Tong family was furious and told Tong Qingyun about it.

So Tong Qingyun sent many scholar soldiers to guard here to prevent any further trouble.

At this moment, several scholar soldiers were patrolling in the factory. When they passed by the sealed mine, they suddenly heard a terrifying and eerie roar coming from inside. The soldiers couldn't help but shiver and quickly moved away from the mine.

As soon as they left, a long rope descended from the sky. Su Yun slid down the rope and entered the mine.

Su Yun did not hear the roar and thought to himself, "If a monk rings the bell every day, I can explore the mine, continue practicing the Chao Tian Que technique, and return before dawn. If Master Tu Ming asks, I'll say that the enemy is cunning and we haven't found anything yet."

As he was thinking about this, a sinister roar suddenly came from ahead. Su Yun couldn't help but shiver and cautiously approached. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled.

He saw a mine cart parked at the corner of the mine, with a cow tied to the front of the cart. The cow was starving and making noise.

However, the sound was amplified and distorted by the mine, making it sound extremely eerie and strange.

Su Yun untied the rope and patted the cow's butt, leading it towards the entrance of the mine. There was a Grey Robber lamp hanging on the handle of the mine cart, but it had already been extinguished.

Su Yun's heart moved and he took the lamp down. He took a piece of Grey Robber from the mine cart, lit it, and put it into the lamp. The dark mine gradually became brighter.

Su Yun took off his outer clothes and covered the lamp, leaving only a gap. The light shone through the gap, illuminating the road ahead, but not exposing Su Yun.

He continued to move forward with the lamp, practicing the Xuan Wu Sensing Chapter. He thought to himself, "If nothing happens tonight, I should be able to finish all twelve chapters. Then I'll know how powerful the Great Unification Technique is."

Another roar came from ahead, but Su Yun didn't pay attention. "It's probably another cow..."

He visualized the Xuan Wu, perfected the blood and qi Xuan Wu above his body's cauldron, and tried to establish a connection with the Xuan Wu elemental energy between heaven and earth. Just then, Su Yun heard the sound of something heavy falling.

"Someone!"

He immediately became alert, cut off his connection with the Xuan Wu elemental energy, and covered the lamp with his clothes. He cautiously moved forward.

After a while, he found a dead cow. The cow was probably trapped here during the Grey Robber incident, but it was killed by something else!

"It's not the Grey Robber. The Grey Robber would eat the cow and not leave a corpse."

Su Yun frowned and carefully shone the lamp on the cow's forehead. There was a small hole on its forehead, which had taken its life!

"There is someone else in the mine!"

Su Yun no longer distracted himself and suddenly activated the Dragon's Roar. His feet were like dragon claws, walking along the mine's walls to the top, and then walking inside along the ceiling of the mine.

"If that person killed a cow, he must be extremely cautious and ready to kill anyone at any time. If he attacks me, he will probably think I am still below and give me a chance to kill him!"To his surprise, Su Yun had made it this far without any trouble. His expression grew serious as he became more worried.

"Judging from the path I've taken, I should have arrived at the first building cluster in Shuofang, which happens to be the city edge in the underground map given to me by Mr. Shuijing."

He walked forward and suddenly came across a cliff. A long wooden bridge was built haphazardly between the cliff and the stone pillars, leading down to the bottom of the cliff.

Above the cliff, huge copper pillars stood straight, one after another in clusters!

These copper pillars plunged into the dark earth below the cliff!

On the dark earth below, faint lights flickered from the robbery grey lamps hanging around the underground city. The sound of miners using their iron picks to mine was crisp, and the oxen pulling the carts rattled along the tracks, while the miners behind them pushed the carts up the slopes with all their might.

Looking down, Su Yun saw the rough outline of the city buried deep in the robbery grey.

The copper pillars that came down from above were actually huge spiritual weapons, the fixed building god needles of the buildings that pierced the sky!

For every building cluster in Shuofang, there were as many copper pillars, which corresponded to each building cluster!

"The positions where those copper pillars fell are exactly where the robbery grey city is. It seems like the copper pillars are suppressing something in the city..."

Suddenly, Su Yun realized something. "The purpose of Shuofang City, which was built by the Lou Ban Tan You, was not just for people to live in, but also to use its power to suppress something in the robbery grey city!"

Just as he thought of this, the small wooden box in his pocket suddenly moved.
