Qin Dingling and Jun Shenguang rushed onward at full speed.
Ever since Qin Dingling had unleashed her Fortune Path killer move, their subsequent journey had been remarkably smooth, with almost no setbacks along the way.
Jun Shenguang praised her for this numerous times.
Qin Dingling explained, "This power far exceeds my normal capabilities. I've also figured out a bit of why the heavens and earth responded."
"Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable placed the Fortune Guarding Heavenly Palace in the Northern Plains' Primordial Night, where it remained for over three hundred thousand years."
"For those three hundred thousand years, the Fortune Guarding Heavenly Palace had been continuously operating, slowly laying down Fortune Path Dao Marks that spread across nearly the entire Primordial Night."
"It was precisely this terrifying accumulation that caused the Central Continent's previous offensive against the Northern Plains — the campaign to seize the Blessing Heaven Gu — to suffer devastating losses midway through the march."
"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had long foreseen that the Two Heavens would merge together, so he moved the Fortune Guarding Heavenly Palace away, once using it in the struggle for the Frenzied Demon Cave."
"But over three hundred thousand years of Fortune Path deployment had already etched Fortune Path Dao Marks throughout the Primordial Night above the Northern Plains. Moreover, the scale of these Fortune Path Dao Marks was unimaginably vast."
"After the Two Heavens merged, both the Primordial Night and Primordial Day shattered into countless fragments, large and small, alternating black and white. The Fortune Path Dao Marks had consequently spread outward along with them."
Jun Shenguang pressed further, "Then why did your Fortune Path killer move receive the amplification of these Fortune Path Dao Marks, Lady Qin Dingling? Could it be that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable intervened to help?"
Qin Dingling's expression darkened slightly. "If that were the case, there would likely be some scheme of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's behind it. But this possibility is not high, because I already sent word back to consult with Lady Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. She clearly informed me that these Fortune Path Dao Marks had long since reverted to natural Dao Marks — they no longer belonged to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable."
Jun Shenguang grew even more puzzled. "Then why exactly did it receive a response?"
Qin Dingling shook her head. "Let's not dig too deep into this for now. Our current priority is still to turn Flashlight Grotto-Heaven!"
At this, Jun Shenguang was even more confident than before. "Lady Qin Dingling, your Fortune Path killer move truly has peerless power. In my opinion, our attempt to turn them this time will succeed."
A short while later.
The two Heavenly Court immortals finally arrived near Flashlight Grotto-Heaven.
They were shocked to see Spectral Soul Demon Venerable rampaging outside Flashlight Grotto-Heaven.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had not entered Flashlight Grotto-Heaven. Instead, he had shattered its gateway and extended countless arms inward, going on a frenzied rampage through the grotto-heaven, slaughtering billions of living beings. He killed anyone who stood in his way — mortals and immortals alike — truly incomparably brutal.
Qin Dingling's expression went blank.
She could never have predicted that something like this would happen.
The Primordial Two Heavens were simply too vast.
The probability of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable specifically targeting Flashlight Grotto-Heaven was incredibly minuscule.
Jun Shenguang couldn't help but open his mouth, staring wide-eyed at Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, then slowly turned his head to look at Qin Dingling, his expression somewhat strange and complicated.
It was as if Jun Shenguang were saying: "My lady, could this perhaps be the result of your Fortune Path killer move?"
Qin Dingling coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed. "Spectral Soul Demon Venerable is a Venerable. Even if my Fortune Path methods received the amplification of heaven and earth's response and the Fortune Path Dao Marks, they shouldn't have had this great an influence."
Jun Shenguang was also at a loss. "Then what should we do?"
The two of them had originally come to turn Huawen Grotto-Heaven, but Hua Yu Old Immortal had fully demonstrated the hallmark abilities of a strong Information Path expert.
He had subtly and without leaving any evidence informed the two Heavenly Court immortals that if the Heavenly Court side could persuade Flashlight Grotto-Heaven to surrender, then Hua Yu Old Immortal would follow suit.
But now, Qin Dingling and Jun Shenguang had worked painstakingly, traveling a great distance to reach Flashlight Grotto-Heaven.
Only to find that Flashlight Grotto-Heaven was about to be destroyed by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!
"Go! Hurry, Grotto Master!"
"Let us draw Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's attention!"
"Flashlight Grotto-Heaven is destined for destruction, but our clansmen are still within your Immortal Orifice. Please, think of the greater good."
Just at that moment, six Gu Immortals suddenly broke out from Flashlight Grotto-Heaven.
The Eighth Transformation Light Path Gu Immortal Liang Jingjing was already gravely wounded. Under the desperate cover of the other Gu Immortals, she fled in tears.
However, despite being out of his mind, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was still a Venerable.
His bloodlust was absolute. Seeing these Gu Immortals about to slip away right under his nose, he immediately followed his instincts and slaughtered toward them.
The group of Flashlight Grotto-Heaven's Gu Immortals was instantly in mortal peril.
"A chance!" Jun Shenguang blurted out.
"So that's it." Qin Dingling suddenly realized. "My Fortune Path killer move was meant to manifest right here."
Great opportunities often hide within great danger.
"Allow us to lend you a hand!" Qin Dingling called out, making the first move.
Jun Shenguang followed close behind.
The Gu Immortals of Flashlight Grotto-Heaven were initially terrified — after all, given their current affiliations, they were enemies. But when they realized the two Heavenly Court immortals were genuinely helping them, what surged through the Gu Immortals' hearts was double the surprise and gratitude.
In the end, with the life-risking assistance of Qin Dingling and Jun Shenguang, the Gu Immortals of Flashlight Grotto-Heaven successfully broke through the encirclement.
