Chapter 2142
Outside the Abyss of the Restricted Zones, the higher officials of the academy looked into the distance.
In the canyon at the end of the plains, they could see the black Qi surrounding it.
"I'm afraid very few would be able to make it out live this time." A high-level official sighed.
"This is the what the Sacred Lands have all decided on. As disciples of the Sacred Lands, they should all put in some effort in return for the resources and benefits they have received from the Sacred Lands. Besides, it's also an opportunity for them, if they are not even daring enough to take risks, how could they become champions?"
"That's true. The cultivators of our generation have been fighting the Heavens for the whole of their lives."
"The Original Qi, the Qi of the Metaphysics bloodline! Anyone who can possess and master it shall have a dominant position in the future!" The higher officials of the academy looked towards the mountain valley that was shrouded in black Qi, their eyes burning with passion.
Within the Restricted Zones, a group of people entered the opening in the wall of the mountain. The space within the crack was extremely large. Everyone rushed into it while gasping for breath. At that moment, there were only about seventy people left from the original hundred. All parties of the Sacred Lands suffered heavy casualties.
The Sacred Sons and Maidens looked terrible, especially Govind. Due to being unfit and hungry, only three out of the ten disciples of the Sacred Land of Nine Palaces Land remained.
"Senior Brother from the Taoist Jade Virtual, thank you." Bethany said as she cupped her fist.
The other disciples of all the other Sacred Lands expressed their gratitude. If it had not been for the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual, they would not have been able to find any hope of survival.
After taking a short break, the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual pulled out his compass. He looked at it for a while before letting out a sigh of relief.
"It's temporarily safe here. Let's take a break."
Upon hearing those words from the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual, everyone was finally relieved. They all began resting and slowly restored their strength.
Henry looked around the space in the mountain, it was damp and smelled musty. There was no obvious source of water, yet it smelled that way. Simply with that information, Henry could confirm that a dense forest lay at the other end of the mountain.
Henry looked at the surrounding stone walls again. The surface of the walls were uniform, and they all appeared smooth and shiny, but the gaping hole seemed irregular.
"They're not man-made, but if they're all naturally formed, how could they all be so smooth?"
Henry thought for a while and came up with an answer.
Gravity!
The force of gravity would appear in the interior of the mountain, and the internal gap was caused by gravity, so the pressure on the surface was the same, resulting in the texture of it to be exactly the same.
Due to the different angles of the mountain, the gap was completely irregular!
Henry took a deep breath. Since gravity existed there, it would not be much safer in any way.
While everyone was resting, Henry had already begun investigating around for an exit.
The inside of the mountain was completely silent. The incident earlier had caused many of their comrades to be sacrificed, everyone was in low spirits, none of them had the desire to say anything.
Only Henry's footsteps could be heard throughout the inside of the mountain.
"What are you doing!? Be quiet!" Govind roared. He was already extremely agitated.
Henry glanced at Govind, but ignored him and continued with his search.
The interior of the mountain was dark, and the visibility within it was very low. Even Henry could only fumble around. The space inside was extremely large, he groped little by little to find a way out.
The space within the mountain was formed by gravity, and it was very irregular. There were many dead ends to it.
Henry would leave a mark on every wall he arrived at.
Time passed by slowly.

Henry silently counted the seconds in his heart.
By relying on his superb sense of direction, Henry was sure that he was about to go through the entire mountain.
Now that everyone was in the Restricted Zones,
Henry did not intend to continue clinging on to them, he decided to just move on his own, he still could not afford to have a falling out with them and reveal true his identity.
After all, those Sacred Sons and
Maidens were the favoured children of the sacred lands. Their
l
capabilities, was not as simple as had seemed. Each of them harboured evil intentions. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not display their true strength. Even though Govind did look murderous, he never actually desired to go all out.
Most importantly, Henry knew that there were people from the Sacred Lands sent to the ancient land. Henry did not know which Sacred Lands did that, but there might have been the involvement of the Severity Tribe, he could not afford to take such a risk.
He could go missing, but he could not afford to fall out with them.
Henry continued to explore the way forward.
At that moment, the whole mountain suddenly shook violently.
Henry looked up and saw cracks appear on the stone wall at the top. The cracks instantly spread out everywhere!
"The force of gravity is coming!"
Henry took a deep breath and sped up his search
for the exit.
In the huge space of the mountain, the people of the Sacred Lands were still resting. Some of them were even unable to bear the fatigue and fell asleep, but at that moment, something strange happened. A violent shaking caused everyone to panic.
"It's caving in here!"
"What a strong gravity!"
"Run!"
Exclamations rang out one after another.
Everyone started running instantly. However, the interior of the mountain was dark and the visibility was too low. They could not find the right path. "This is a dead..." a disciple shouted. Before he could finish his sentence, he was smashed by a huge stone.
Someone wanted to crush the stone with Qi, only to realise that the stone was extremely hard, and the Qi could only leave a shallow mark on it. "Don't use Qi!"
The usage of Qi caused the area to tremble even more violently.
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual held the compass in his hand. He did not even look at the road ahead, he trusted the compass in his hand the most. It was a treasure in the Sacred Land of the Taoist Jade Virtual, which was specifically handed to him in order to protect himself.
"Follow me!"
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual held the compass and shuttled back and forth in the darkness. The many wrong paths that Henry had
taken were all avoided by him.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Huge boulders fell from above their heads. Everyone dodged them. They were all cultivators, and their speed was extremely fast.
At one corner, Leilani suddenly saw a faint trace on the wall.
"Hurry!"
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual roared.
At that moment Henry had found an exit and could hear the sound of running water. It was just as he had expected, on the other side of the mountain
was a vast jungle.
As soon as Henry arrived at the exit, he heard sounds of footsteps behind him.
Henry looked behind him and saw the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual rushing towards him with a compass in his hand.
"Tch tch, this compass is really good." Henry stared at it and roared, "Help! Help me! The mountain is about to collapse!"
Henry said as he ran out of the mountain.
"Heh, this person really is lucky." Govind had a look of disgust on his face when he saw that Henry was still alive.
