"...I heard the sound of chanting. No, maybe it was praying," continued Tong Ruobing, her brows still furrowed. "I fought with someone or a group of people. They were powerful but still not a match for me."
She paused as she tried to scan her fuzzy memory, relying more on her feelings and intuition to piece together what had happened. " After defeating them, I believed I tried to capture them but didn't know whether I succeeded. Afterward, I think I saw a formation - a very powerful one. When I was trying to investigate, I met someone or something.
"The sensation of meeting was unpleasant. I don't know how to describe it."
"Like you were losing your mind- even going insane?"
"Exactly," nodded Tong Ruobing. "It was like I was staring at something I should not have - like I was staring at a Taboo." She looked him directly in the eyes, "Do you know what's going on?"
"Some inkling," nodded Wang Wei but did not say anymore. "What else?"
"That thing attacked me," continued Tong Ruobing after realizing she would not get any more information. "I was powerless to resist and had to run away. But despite my best effort, I ended up in this shape."
Tong Ruobing sighed; her [Existence] was injured, and her situation was even worse than Wang Wei as her powers had fallen below the Emperor Realm. Her current strength was barely enough to fight a Dao Ancestor.
"The fact you survived in such a terrible shape indicates the threat of the Abyss Gap is Empyrean Tier," analyzed Wang Wei, who finally had proof there were other threats to him in the lower dimension besides Old Man Nether.
"It has not reached the Paragon Tier; otherwise, you wouldn't have a chance to leave. Plus, True Heavenly Dao will not tolerate any Paragons from existing in the Lower Dimension."
With this news, he was satisfied with Tong Ruobing's efforts. He has yet to decide whether he will only place a seal or utterly deal with the problem. But once he makes a decision, he will be more prepared to deal with the problem of the Abyss Gap.
"So, are we good?" asked Tong Ruobing.
"Yes," nodded Wang Wei before raising his hand to summon a black and white seed. "This is a unique Yin-Yang Seed: use it as a medium for dual cultivation with Mu Lei, and it will accelerate the rate at which your injury is healed."
"Such a thing exists?" Tong Ruobing knew [Existence Injuries] could not be cured easily. They usually require things like merit, World Source, or a massive amount of Qi Luck to heal, and even then, the process is extremely slow.
"I don't need to lie to you." This seed was the result of studying Madmen Chu's inheritance; it's also why his injuries are healing so rapidly.
"Thank you," nodded Tong Ruobing as she carefully placed the seed away. Without hesitation, she activated a talisman that made her disappear with a swoosh.
"You should know -"
"It's fine," said Wang Wei, looking in the distance. He finished his clay sculpture before preserving it. Then, he returned to his retreat.
Beast Star World:
Tong Ruobing's pale and weak body appeared in a cultivation room, immediately grunting in pain. The teleportation process that was only slightly bumpy aggravated the situation of her body, albeit only the superfluous injuries; that's how weak she was.
She had never felt this way before since she started cultivating. Even when she was severely wounded, the situation was different. Her current state was like she was suffering from a chronic illness and had been battling it for decades.
Swish!
Mu Lei appeared in the room.
"Are you alright?" He held her because he had a feeling she was on the verge of passing out. Since he knew her, Mu Lei had never seen her so weak and feeble. He led her to the cultivation cushion to rest.
"I'm fine."
"You should have listened to me." As Dao Companions, isn't it normal to share woes and tribulations? Mu Lei felt the situation would not have been so terrible if he had gone instead. After all, he is a body refiner and more capable of surviving dangerous situations. At the very least, they should have gone together.
"No, I'm glad I was stubborn. If you went, you might not return." Her husband might have had more vitality, but he did not have all the versatile means. So, if he went, even with Wang Wei's power, he might not have returned.
Tong Ruobing did not remember exactly how she escaped that attack, but she knew her Dao was instrumental in the process. Mu Lei sighed, "Was it worth it?"
"It was."
"How was it worth it?" he barked, raising his voice slightly. "You're in such a terrible state." He knew even if she killed herself and revived, which is sometimes a better choice, it would not help the state of her injuries.
"It was for many reasons," explained Tong Ruobing. "Firstly, I was able to experience a higher level of my Dao." The talisman did just give her all of Wang Wei's ability and Dao. Instead, it boosted her Dao and other aspects to reach the strength of 69.99% Grand Dao Source.
