Chapter 1439: Chapter 431: Xie Jiuyan Is Right

Zhan Li paused for a moment, then nodded.

East Sea looked at the sky’s sea of sand and glanced at the "sky" beneath his feet, then suddenly reached into his sleeve and pulled out two umbrellas.

After handing one to Zhan Li, East Sea opened the umbrella he held: "I’ve walked this place before; we have at most one hour to get out."

"One hour?"

Seeing East Sea had already opened his umbrella and headed in a direction, Zhan Li quickly mimicked East Sea’s actions and opened an umbrella, chasing after him while continuing to ask, "Why one hour? How do you determine this time? What will happen if we don’t make it out in an hour?"

East Sea continued walking quickly and responded, "I can’t answer your first question... It’s said to be the result of the collision of different rules, the reason I don’t know, but one hour is based on my experience of walking it twice—when we enter the sand sea, this space reacts, and change starts calculating from the moment we step in; in an hour, change will appear."

He paused, then continued, "As for what change happens after an hour..."

He raised a finger upwards, "It will... rain."

Rain...

Zhan Li looked up.

The sky’s position was an endless desert sea!

Her face suddenly changed, realizing it in her heart!

Rain...

In this place, the sky is an endless desert!

So when it rains, it’s not water falling, but... sand!

"Got it?" East Sea chuckled dryly, "Actually, it’s not an hour, it starts to drizzle soon.

At first, the ’rain’ is light, like a drizzle, then gradually grows heavier, pattering.

In an hour, it turns into torrential rain, stormy rainfall...

At that time, the sand above will pour down like a deluge from the sky!

People walking below, if they can’t timely get out of the place, they will be buried alive by billions of tons of sand!"

Zhan Li’s face turned pale, she swallowed her saliva: "You... have personally experienced that scene?"

"Yes, the first time I walked through this place I had no experience. At that time, there was another guy walking with me.

That guy’s cultivation was similar to mine, also in the Celestial Human Realm, but he was... somewhat arrogant, being a young cultivation genius.

When the sand started falling, I felt something was wrong and warned him. He didn’t listen... genius, always a bit prideful.

Finally, I got out, but that guy, that young genius of the Celestial Human Realm, I watched him fall behind, swallowed by sand pouring down like a mountain, and I never saw him again."

After East Sea said these words, Zhan Li suddenly heard an extremely subtle sound.

She paused for a moment, then immediately realized.

This was the sound of a sand grain falling, hitting the umbrella’s surface!

The sand was already starting to fall! ℯ

Zhan Li’s heart tensed, she hastened her pace, simultaneously looking at East Sea, "Can’t we use spells to speed up our pace?"

"No," East Sea shook his head, "In this place, it’s best not to use spells, because it seems the Heavens and Earth can sense it. If spells are used, the heavens and earth will perceive us as two ’outsiders,’ and the sand falling speed will accelerate.

The stronger the spell, the faster the sand falls.

Trust me, this is all from my firsthand experience."

The two continued to tread through this void, advancing at the fastest speed without using mana...

When Chu Keqing awoke from the bed, she lazily stretched, her alluring body like a blossoming begonia flower, her fair and delicate skin faintly visible under the thin blanket.

Unfortunately, as soon as she reached out to touch, there was no one beside her. The half of the bed belonging to Chen Yan was long empty.

Judging by the warmth of the sheets, Chen Yan must have gotten up a while ago.

Chu Keqing was not anxious; she gathered herself before slowly rising from the bed. She wasn’t in a hurry to get dressed, instead wrapping her body in the blanket. Holding the blanket in one hand and grabbing her hair with the other, she stepped down barefoot into slippers and slowly walked out of the RV.

Having lived in the mountains for several months, in this deserted place, the two seemed to have adapted to this most natural and simple lifestyle.

Sometimes, when getting out of bed, Chu Keqing wouldn’t bother dressing, just casually throwing on a T-shirt. She wouldn’t bother meticulously arranging her hair, binding it casually with a hair tie.

In the mountains, there’s no one else, and Chen Yan has restored some of the original functions of the Hidden Mountain Array that Xie Jiuyan left behind.

People outside the mountain, unless they’re cultivators well-versed in arrays, can’t get in.

Even if cultivators try breaking the array to come inside, they’ll alert the owner.

During recent days, there are times when they would bathe naked in streams or meditate and practice in mountain cave hollows, absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

It’s almost like living like savages.

The only thing that left Chu Keqing a bit helpless is... they’ve run out of some small kinds of umbrella.

After washing up, Chu Keqing looked through the window at the outside sky; the gloomy sky had some raindrops falling.

Chu Keqing pondered for a moment and decided to change into loose jogging clothes, using a belt to gently tighten her slender waist, and walked off the RV.
