In the main palace of the Nirvana Academy, a woman was nailed to the wall of a magnificent hall. Her head drooped, and her disheveled, yellowed hair completely obscured her face, making it impossible to discern her features.

Her hands and feet were all nailed to a massive stone wall. However, the area around the stone wall was surrounded by divine spiritual energy, making it seem like an excellent place for cultivation.

In front of the nailed woman, a middle-aged woman in green robes was touching the top of her head with a snow-white finger. Complex and profound rules and auras surrounded the middle-aged woman, these rules intertwining and intersecting as if activating something.

In the middle of the hall, there was a clump of green nether flames. Two cultivators were also confined above the flames. One was male and the other female, and both were being scorched by the flames.

Any cultivator could tell at a glance that this kind of nether flame was used to burn the primordial spirit and soul. From the constant trembling of the two cultivators, it was evident how much torment they were enduring.

Above the head of the disheveled woman with her brow being touched, a door would occasionally appear faintly, but the door's appearance was extremely brief, quickly disappearing again.

"Ah!" A shrill scream escaped from the lips of the disheveled woman, and a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the green-robed woman.

The next moment, the faint door above the head of the nailed woman became slightly clearer.

"Huh, something's not right?" The green-robed woman, who should have continued to use rules to impact the woman, suddenly stopped and looked at the outside of the hall with a puzzled frown.

The Ao Clan had issued a purple command for the first time in its history. One of the Ao Clan's only two Quasi-Saints had already gone to the Ao Clan's Divine Horn. Logically, everything should have been resolved. Why hadn't Ao Binhe returned yet?

This green-robed woman was called Ao Wushang, and she was one of the Ao Clan's only two Quasi-Saints.

The woman nailed to the stone wall was Chi Bing, because the Qiankun Cauldron had been sent into her world. Without Chi Bing's consent, even a Quasi-Saint could not take the Qiankun Cauldron from Chi Bing's world.

The two people being scorched by the flames were Tian Nini and Chi Chuan.

The reason for scorching these two with flames was that the Ao Clan's two Quasi-Saints wanted to shake Chi Bing's mind, making it easier to open Chi Bing's world.

Chi Bing was currently at the seventh level of God Fusion. If Chi Bing had any degree of autonomy, she might self-detonate her world. If that happened, the Ao Clan would never be able to obtain the Qiankun Cauldron.

Ao Binhe and Ao Wushang, the two Quasi-Saints of the Ao Clan, had joined forces to impact Chi Bing's world. Originally, in another year or two, Chi Bing's world would be completely opened. At that time, even if the Qiankun Cauldron was hidden by Chi Bing in her own world, it would be found.

However, at this critical moment, Ao Chou, the Patriarch of the Ao Clan in the Ao Clan's Divine Horn, issued a purple emergency request for help. Even at this crucial moment, the Ao Clan's two Quasi-Saints had to send one person to the Ao Clan's Divine Horn to provide assistance.

With Ao Binhe's Quasi-Saint strength, he should be able to return to the Ao Clan's Divine Horn, quickly resolve the problem, and then come back. In this place in the God Continent, who could stop a Quasi-Saint expert from the Ao Clan? But the truth was that Ao Binhe had been gone for so long and hadn't returned.

Ao Wushang had no heart to continue cracking Chi Bing's world. She hesitated, wondering if she should go to the Ao Clan's Divine Horn to see what was happening. But if she also went to the Ao Clan's Divine Horn, then her and Ao Binhe's decades of hard work would be wasted.

If she left, it meant that the partially broken world entrance of Chi Bing would disappear again. At that time, if she wanted to open Chi Bing's small world, she would have to start all over again. That was secondary. The main thing was that if she left and Chi Bing found an opportunity to self-detonate, then the Qiankun Cauldron would have no chance with her Ao Clan again.

After hesitating for a moment, Ao Wushang scanned out her divine sense. She wanted to check the situation in the Ao Clan's Divine Horn. Despite checking with her divine sense, Ao Wushang still paid close attention to Chi Bing at all times. If Chi Bing had any unusual movements, she would directly restrain Chi Bing. What she was worried about was not that Chi Bing would escape, but that Chi Bing would self-detonate.

When Ao Wushang's divine sense penetrated out, her face immediately changed.

Not only was the protective array of the Ao Clan's Divine Horn destroyed, but the Ao Clan's main hall was protected by a kind of array pattern that she couldn't even see through, making it impossible for her divine sense to penetrate.

At this moment, Ao Wushang no longer had the heart to continue breaking open Chi Bing's world. With a flash, she rushed out of the hall.

Compared to Chi Bing's Qiankun Cauldron, the Ao Clan's Divine Horn was the biggest secret.

...

As soon as Ao Wushang left, Chi Bing regained consciousness. She struggled to raise her head and looked at her younger brother, Chi Chuan, and Tian Nini, who were being scorched by the nether flames. Chi Bing angrily wanted to struggle down, but every time she struggled, it would increase her pain several times.

A feeling of helplessness and sadness welled up in her heart. Chi Bing barely gathered her mind's divine sense and wanted to self-detonate her sea of consciousness and world.

Perhaps it was the bond between siblings, Chi Bing's sadness and struggle were felt by Chi Chuan, who was being scorched by the nether flames. Immediately, he felt the aura of destruction on his sister Chi Bing and exclaimed in shock, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Two lines of tears mixed with blood flowed down. Chi Bing looked at Chi Chuan and said with trembling lips, "I'm sorry, I harmed you. I'm going to leave first. You follow me soon after."

"Will they let you go?" Chi Chuan then discovered that the two Ao Clan Quasi-Saints in the hall had disappeared. "Sister, have you already given the thing to them?"

Chi Bing smiled sadly, "If the thing was given to them, we would have been killed long ago. How could we have waited until now?"

"The Ao Clan didn't get the thing, so why would they let you self-detonate your world?" Chi Chuan asked in confusion.

Chi Bing was stunned. She had been disturbed by the Ao Clan Quasi-Saints' rules and hadn't completely woken up and calmed down until now. Now that her younger brother Chi Chuan said it, she felt something was wrong.

With the intelligence of those two Ao Clan Quasi-Saints, how could they not know that leaving her alone here was to let her self-detonate? Once she self-detonated, the Qiankun Cauldron was likely to fall into an alien space and would never be obtained by the Ao Clan again. At least they should have knocked her unconscious, right?

Why haven't her younger brother Chi Chuan and Tian Nini been killed until now? Isn't it to influence her will so that the other party can more easily open her world?

Enduring the torment of having her primordial spirit and soul scorched, Chi Chuan said, "Something must have happened to the Ao Clan. Sister, don't self-detonate. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must wait. Maybe my master is back..."

Before he could finish speaking, the nether flame wrapped around his primordial spirit again, and Chi Chuan's voice stopped abruptly. He fell into endless pain of being scorched again, unable to say a word.

...

"Boom!" A powerful divine essence bombarded the shielding divine sense protection array that Mo Wuji had set up. Mo Wuji sneered and said, "It seems like there's no need to wait any longer."

After saying this, Mo Wuji grabbed down without hesitation.

"Crack!" Ao Binhe felt his sea of consciousness burst into a series of shattering sounds. Then, his spiritual channels felt as if they were being burned by countless fire lines, giving him a terrifying feeling of despair from the depths of his soul.

Ao Binhe was truly desperate. He knew too well what was happening. His sea of consciousness was shattered by Mo Wuji, his primordial spirit began to collapse, and his spiritual channels were all burned away by the other party. Anyway, he couldn't escape, so let him die. What he feared even more was that Ao Wushang was coming. Because Ao Wushang was coming, the other party would be so unscrupulous in destroying him.

Sure enough, as soon as Ao Binhe thought of this, a middle-aged woman in green robes rushed in.

Mo Wuji didn't give the green-robed woman any chance to attack and punched down, the Rending Domain Fist.

Ao Wushang guessed that the person who could stop Ao Binhe should also be a Quasi-Saint, but she never expected that this Quasi-Saint would be so terrifying. Just a punch shattered her domain inch by inch, exposing her completely to the other party's rules.

So strong! In a panic, Ao Wushang grabbed a black flag. As the black flag moved, rolling rules once again formed order, trying to tear apart the domain space established by Mo Wuji's Rending Domain Fist.

Mo Wuji had no intention of giving the other party any chance. Just as the Rending Domain Fist was blocked by the black flag's rules, a space imprisonment completely locked onto Ao Wushang.

Time rules? Ao Wushang wanted to scream in horror, but the time in her space stagnated at that moment. The next moment, a hand directly pinched her neck, imprisoning her in the void.

She, a Quasi-Saint expert, didn't even manage to fully unleash her divine powers in the other party's hands. A sense of regret welled up in the depths of Ao Wushang's heart. She shouldn't have come back. No matter how good the things in the Ao Clan's Divine Horn were, without her life, nothing mattered.

"Tell me, where is Chi Bing?" Mo Wuji's voice was filled with intense killing intent.

"You promise to let us both go, and I'll tell you where Chi Bing is..."

Before Ao Wushang could finish speaking, Mo Wuji's finger touched her brow. A terrifying aura of rules and Dao rhythm surged into her sea of consciousness from her brow, and Ao Wushang immediately knew what Mo Wuji wanted to do, and she was scared out of her wits.

He was going to search her soul! This person was so vicious.
