Chapter 2545: Sealing Spatial Dimensions

The spatial dimensions were vast, and sometimes, at certain locations, the forces of these interfaces would undergo anomalies. This could cause the space to become thin, leading to the appearance of spatial vortexes or fissures.

Due to the laws of nature, such situations were usually temporary; neither the spatial vortex nor the fissure was a true gateway between realms. Over time, they would naturally close up. For instance, not long ago, when Senior True Virtue encountered one, it was just such a situation.

However, there were exceptions. Sometimes, due to some inexplicable factors, the gap connecting two interfaces wouldn't close even if it remained open.

It is said that in a certain human realm during ancient times, this happened. For unknown reasons, on a particular day, a spatial fissure appeared, connecting with the Demon Realm.

Although the fissure was small and could only accommodate one or two ancient demons at a time, initially, this wasn't considered significant.

Even if higher-ranked ancient demons came through, they would eventually exhaust their demonic energy when facing an endless stream of human cultivators. Although there would be heavy casualties, humans could still ultimately exterminate these ancient demons with sheer numbers.

However, soon enough, the human cultivators discovered a problem: this fissure didn't close up despite its small size. This was troublesome because the number of ancient demons crossing over continuously increased, and their ranks far exceeded those of the human realm's cultivators. Despite significant sacrifices from both cultivators and beasts, they couldn't defeat these ancient demons, and it seemed that the human realm would soon be corrupted by them.

Several powerful entities from the spirit realm had to use secret techniques to contact higher-dimensional realm cultivators through some hidden means. This wasn't easy; however, after countless efforts and precious treasures, their wish was finally granted. The great beings from the spirit realm used secret techniques to tear open a spatial rift and descended into the lower realms. They then unleashed astonishing techniques that efficiently exterminated those ancient demons.

However, this didn’t mean the matter was over. That spatial fissure still existed, meaning ancient demons could still enter the human realm at any time. The powerful beings from the spirit realm couldn't stay in the human realm for long; it held no attraction to them, and they wouldn’t linger too much before returning to their own realm.

But once they left, things would revert to their original state.

What should be done?

The only solution was to seal that peculiar spatial fissure. While this seemed easy on paper, implementing it was fraught with difficulties. It involved the most mysterious spatial techniques. Fortunately, one of the ancient immortals present was a peak-stage cultivator who had survived a tribulation.

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but look around as he pondered these thoughts. There was actually a spirit-sealing pillar here?

Unfortunately, he was currently pretending to be an ordinary person and couldn't release his divine sense to investigate further.

Lin Xuan felt regretful. After all, there were priorities; obtaining the Ethereal Nine Immortals Pill was the top priority now. The spirit-sealing pillar, though miraculous, could not compare in importance to this item.

Lin Xuan wouldn’t lose sight of the bigger picture for a small matter.

"Senior Brother, where is the spirit-sealing pillar?" the robed cultivator asked anxiously.

"Haha, don't worry; you'll know soon enough," said Senior True Virtue with a smile. Then he raised his hand and waved it gently, causing a flash of light to appear as a spirit beast bag flew out from his sleeve.

"What's that for?"

Lin Xuan felt a bit surprised but maintained an expression of confusion as he watched intently.

"Quickly!"

Senior True Virtue’s movements were incredibly swift. Another spell was shot out from the end of hisduster (whip), and the mouth of the bag opened, releasing a fierce demon wind.

Roar!

A deafening roar echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. The Su siblings were startled as they saw a huge dragon emerge from the small spirit beast bag. It was indeed a dragon with azure scales that shimmered with brilliance. Its length exceeded thirty feet, and its eyes were much larger than ordinary copper bells.

This was a water-type dragon.

Why did Senior True Virtue release it?

Even Lin Xuan, along with his two fellow students, looked puzzled. However, the mystery didn't last long as the answer soon became clear.

Roar!

The dragon opened its blood-red maw, and the calm lake surface instantly churned into waves. It then proceeded to suck in water like a whale, swallowing all the lake's contents into its body within a short time—less than half a cup of tea.

The lake bed was exposed as an elder took out an jade box from his pocket, flicking his fingers. "Snap!" The lid opened, and a shimmering talisman appeared from inside.

"Quickly!"

Senior True Virtue activated the talisman, waving his hands repeatedly to cast several spells. The talisman flashed, transforming into a landscape painting.
