Aspiring to the Immortal Path
chapter-527

The ones appearing before Tang Jie's eyes were none other than Shi Jingzhai and Tutu.

When Tang Jie had been teleported away back then, while Yiyi had come with him, Shi Jingzhai and Tutu hadn't been able to come along. He hadn't expected to run into them here.

At this time, Tutu the rabbit fiend was crouched on Shi Jingzhai's shoulder, squealing as it covered its eyes with its ears and trembled in fear. Meanwhile, Shi Jingzhai was shouting and grunting as he battled with the daemons.

With his addled mind, he didn't know the way to kill daemons and only knew brute strength. Fortunately, most of the daemons had been killed by Godhead Palace, so he was still able to hold on.

But in the maze, he didn't know to take the initiative and run. If Tang Jie hadn't come, he probably would have exhausted himself to death.

When Tang Jie saw that it was those two, he immediately rushed in. Without using Primordial Yang power, only his punches, he cleaned up all the daemons.

Shi Jingzhai excitedly rushed over. Tang Jie was about to hug him, but Shi Jingzhai surprisingly ran past him and went up to Yiyi, where he covered his head and started to cry. This imbecile didn't know how to talk, so he just cried in front of Yiyi. As for Tutu, it jumped down from Shi Jingzhai's shoulder and into Tang Jie's arms, shouting, "Young Master, we finally meet again! Wooo… eh? You seem a little different."

Tang Jie lifted up its ears. "Save the chatter and tell me how you got here first."

Tutu stammered out their story.

Shi Jingzhai and Tutu had been left all alone in the Basking Moon Sect. Without their master, they had lost their backing, but Qi Shaoming and Tang Jie's other comrades hadn't mistreated them.

But the Beast Refining Gate's attack on the mountain had caused the two sects to enter open hostilities, and the Transverse Range had been turned into a battlefield. Cai Junyang, Peng Yaolong, Qi Shaoming, and Wei Tianchong were all fighting with the Beast Refining Gate there.

Without the help of Tang Jie's good friends, Tutu was in trouble.

While most of the cultivators of the Basking Moon Sect had a sense of camaraderie, there were still a few scoundrels, just like that Yu Yan from before. And this time, a chamberlain came out with the intent of taking Tutu.

This person seemed to have been interested in Tutu's identity as a Heaven-Lost Rabbit. Perhaps thinking that Tang Jie wouldn't be coming back alive, he acted without any sort of restraint.

With no other options, Tutu could only flee the Zephyr Mountains with Shi Jingzhai.

They had nowhere to go, so they just ran around blindly. One having strength and no brains, and the other having brains and no strength, they made for a perfect pair. Thus, in half a year of traveling, they basically weren't in much danger.

One day, as Tutu and Shi Jingzhai were wandering around, they ended up in the Mount Eternal region.

The Stone Gate Sect had been located in Mount Eternal, and so Shi Jingzhai inexplicably managed to recover some of his memories upon seeing the familiar scenery.

Thus, he led Tutu toward the mine, venturing all the way until they reached the very bottom of the mines.

The poisonous moths had already been killed, and the water purified. All the dangers had been cleaned up, and there were certainly no hidden treasures, just an empty space.

But the several years Shi Jingzhai had spent digging here had left an indelible impression on him.

Thus, he once more swam through the underwater river into the cavern.

Since the water wasn't poisoned, Shi Jingzhai didn't need to strip his clothes.

Through that small passage, he and Tutu arrived at that now-cleaned-out cavern.

He followed the path he had dug out until he came before a black fissure.

"'A black fissure'?" Tang Jie narrowed his eyes.

He naturally knew what that was.

A spatial fissure.

He had seen that fissure before when exploring that underground cavern, and he knew that the cavern's abundance of rare resources was closely linked to the fissure. Even the bean soldiers, as a treasure that Shi Jingzhai had secretly hoarded for himself, were probably from the spatial fissure.

But after that, Tang Jie stopped paying attention to the fissure.

He hadn't expected the fissure to suddenly become active again.

Looking at Tutu, Tang Jie suddenly remembered something.

A Heaven-Lost Rabbit!

He suddenly understood.

He said, "You went into that spatial fissure?"

Tutu shrank back. "I didn't expect that guy to be this crazy."

Even with the ability of spatial orientation, surviving and drifting in the void was no easy task. Tutu had never imagined that there would be a spatial fissure there, let alone that Shi Jingzhai would go crazy upon encountering it. This madman shouted when he saw the fissure and jumped right in.

This scared Tutu out of its wits.

It was well aware that it and Shi Jingzhai were not strong enough to live for long in the infinite void, so it immediately activated its ability and sought a way out.
