For example, each traversal can't exceed a hundred thousand li, otherwise my Spiritual Power won't last.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secondly, you have to lock onto the destination's coordinates in advance. A slight deviation and you might get lost in chaotic spatial currents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most importantly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, a spatial storm suddenly appeared in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Yan's expression tightened; his hands quickly formed Seals, and his Protective Spiritual Light flared sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm howled past, scraping the edge of the Spiritual Light. Zhou Qing could even hear the \"kaka\" sound of the light being torn at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most importantly, you have to constantly guard against chaotic currents and spatial storms.\" Sikong Yan finally finished his sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even in the Spirit Severing Realm, if you get dragged into the heart of a spatial storm, you'll be ripped to pieces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was secretly shocked. So even a powerful Spirit Severing Realm expert couldn't casually traverse space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up ahead is the outer city.\" Sikong Yan pointed at a light speck in the distance. \"There'll be a violent impact when we pass through the spatial barrier. Make sure to steady your Heart and Spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhou Qing could respond, he grabbed Zhou Qing's arm and shot toward the light spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the world spun; an intense sense of weightlessness surged over him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, the two of them were already standing in a mountain range somewhere in the outer city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's keep moving!\" Sikong Yan patted his sleeves and adjusted the mask on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing helplessly took out the Flying Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Spiritual Power poured in, the Flying Ship expanded against the wind, turning in a blink into a spiritual vessel over ten zhang long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! You've got something this nice?\" Sikong Yan's eyes lit up. Without waiting for an invitation, he leaped onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if he owned the place, he shouted down, \"Captain, what are you waiting for? Hoist the sails and set off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Zhou Qing's mouth twitched as he rose into the air and landed aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a twist of his fingers to activate it, the Flying Ship turned into a streak of flowing light, tearing through the sky toward Yaoguang Mansion...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time, beneath a mountain range tens of thousands of li away, there was a temporarily opened hidden Cave Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Spiritual Qi was dense and swirling. The Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling sat cross-legged, each holding a Top-Grade Spirit Stones in hand, Refinement and absorption of Spiritual Power circulating around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, the old hen was curled up in a corner, snoring away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its gray-brown feathers rose and fell gently with each breath. Now and then it let out a few muffled clucks, as if it were having some delicious dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, an eerie ripple suddenly spread across the ceiling of the Cave Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the stone wall began to undulate like water, and gradually a horrifying scene emerged—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Blood River whose destination no one knew, its waters thick as paste, glinting with a dark red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless pitch-black Dead Crows floated on the surface. Their feathers were soaked through with blood; they rose and fell with the waves, and ghostly green will-o'-the-wisps flickered in the hollow sockets of their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Blood River's bank, one could clearly make out a colossal tree standing silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its trunk was black as ink, and its withered, twisted branches stretched out into the darkness like countless struggling arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath it were laid out six coffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most chilling thing was that hanging at the center of the trunk was a huge black heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its surface was covered in eerie patterns, and it was beating with a slow yet powerful rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump... thump... thump...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each beat was accompanied by the clatter of the iron chains that bound it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sleeping old hen suddenly shuddered all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heart in its chest started pounding uncontrollably faster, gradually syncing perfectly with the rhythm of that black heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu... gugugu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old hen opened its eyes in a daze. The once-murky chicken eyes now glowed with an uncanny blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It staggered to its feet, its feathers stirring without any wind, staring fixedly at the vision on the cave ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dead Crows in the Blood River suddenly turned their heads in unison, thousands of ghostly green eyes fixing on the old hen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black heart's beating abruptly quickened, and the iron chains screeched with grating friction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump! Thump! Thump!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old hen, as if summoned by something, couldn't help but spread its wings and flew straight toward the illusory Blood River on the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even stranger, its body passed through the surface like water, merging into the illusion without the slightest obstruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood River splashed up a dark red wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old hen floundered in the viscous blood, its feathers quickly soaked through, but it seemed utterly unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, it looked unusually excited, letting out cheerful clucks from its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a layer of ghostly blue flames ignited on its body, evaporating the surrounding blood into scarlet mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the very Amulet it had formed back at the Taichu Dojo, after absorbing that blue flame from the earth-vein rift for half a year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it leisurely paddled along, occasionally spitting out a mouthful of blue flame to roll a Dead Crow into its beak, crunching it down with crisp crackles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike last time, wisps of black gas began to seep from the surface of the black heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These currents slithered downward like living things, passing through the Blood River and drilling into the old hen's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each wisp it absorbed, the old hen's feathers grew glossier, and the blue light in its eyes burned ever brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it seemed completely unaware, continuing to swim downstream along the Blood River toward its depths...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling, they remained immersed in deep meditation, completely oblivious to the changes outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiqing Sect, Little Spirit Peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mists coiled among the mountains, and spiritual birds cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce blade light tore across the sky, startling the birds in the forest into flight.\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-06-09T06:34:23.202Z",1,"novelbin.me","03687a48eaa00f1f8d7c6f0eb5d08699ebf4f0d0054a29d3ba4c5e490e4c3394","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-1139","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-1137",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
