It was now 6:15 PM.
Jiang Wen glanced at the time on his phone, confirming how long they had been inside this Giant Maw.
Although there was no internet here, his phone was still accurate as a timer.
Twelve hours had passed, and they were still walking within the depths of the maw. Jiang Wen couldn't even begin to imagine how vast these endless passages were.
Although the magical power within him remained complete, the gale-force winds and erosive power emanating from his breath had no effect on them. However, as far as the Flesh Earth was concerned, this place was far too enormous.
If he were on the surface of the Flesh Earth, even flying around its entire perimeter, Jiang Wen didn't think it would take him twelve hours.
With his current cultivation level, traveling a hundred miles was a matter of a few breaths, and breaking the sound barrier with his physical body was commonplace.
Although moving forward beneath this Giant Maw was relatively slow, it wouldn't be slow to that extent. Yet, even now, he and Du Haitang were still flying through the deep passages of this maw. All around them were brilliant Xuanhuang Stones, guiding their way like starlight.
"Is that thing really here?" Jiang Wen asked with doubt in his heart.
Du Haitang shook her head, only looking ahead: "I don't know either, but the most likely place would be within this Giant Maw. Because this is where the power of the earth vein is drawn, and it is also the best place to nourish that Primordial Flesh. Moreover, this is also the most dangerous forbidden area, even Venerables cannot stay here for long."
As Du Haitang spoke, she secretly glanced at Jiang Wen. She clicked her tongue, and she felt even more admiration for her benefactor's strength. She had never heard of anyone being able to stay in this Giant Maw for six hours.
Even her direct superior, Venerable Yin Yang, could only stay here for a hundred breaths. Once he exceeded a hundred breaths, his whole body would be eroded by the power of the earth vein, gradually growing various crystals similar to Xuanhuang Stones.
This was also the most terrifying aspect of the Giant Maw. It not only absorbed a massive amount of earth vein power, but also made this earth vein power extremely refined and more corrosive. The Xuanhuang Stones formed everywhere were the best evidence of this. Once cultivators stayed here for too long, they would also be assimilated into Xuanhuang Stone-like crystals.
But at that time, not only would the magical power in their Qi Sea turn into crystals, but even their flesh and blood would crystallize. It was precisely because of this that the God-Worshipping Society, which possessed the Flesh Earth, regarded Xuanhuang Stones as rare treasures.
But the benefactor beside her was different. Not only could he resist the erosion of these earth vein powers, but he could also stay in this Giant Maw for so long. It was hard to imagine how deep his magical power was, and how strong his strength was.
Du Haitang's admiration for Jiang Wen in her heart was endless, while Jiang Wen frowned, probing forward. Although his divine sense was severely restricted here, he could still investigate everything.
"There's something blocking the way ahead," Jiang Wen mumbled to Du Haitang, then sped up.
The Four Symbols Sword Formation rotated rapidly, transforming into the Four Divine Beasts guarding all sides.
When they rounded a huge bend, a magnificent Xuanhuang Stone giant rock blocked their path. It was an incredibly huge rock, like a towering mountain blocking their way.
The Xuanhuang Stones above protruded, forming sharp peaks. This giant Xuanhuang Stone blocked the road ahead, and also cut off all the earth vein power at this place.
Jiang Wen looked at this giant Xuanhuang Stone, and suddenly this thing looked very much like something he recognized.
Kidney stone? Jiang Wen thought, staring at the giant Xuanhuang Stone. This Xuanhuang Stone was like a kidney stone in the intestines, blocking everything outside. Perhaps with its growth, this Xuanhuang Stone would eventually block the entire passage of the Giant Maw, and the more earth vein power it absorbed, the faster it would grow.
"What should we do now?" Du Haitang looked at the giant Xuanhuang Stone with concern. This thing was too huge, even if she used all her strength, she might not be able to break off a corner.
"We can only move it away." Jiang Wen stared at the Xuanhuang Stone, he could feel something throbbing behind this Xuanhuang Stone. That might be the Primordial Flesh they were looking for, the mysterious thing that the God-Worshipping Society brought back from beyond the realm.
"But how can we move it away? You must know that Xuanhuang Stone is very hard, even if it's a magical artifact…" Before Du Haitang could finish her words, she saw Jiang Wen reach out his right hand towards the giant Xuanhuang Stone.
His hair danced with the violent gale-force winds, and his eyes were full of the light of stars. The next moment, a dark orb appeared in his hand, revolving around Jiang Wen's palm.
He urged the orb forward, and an incredibly huge dark cavity appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is…" Du Haitang exclaimed in a lost voice. The next second, the dark cavity swallowed the entire Xuanhuang Stone.
The entire passage was instantly clear, as if someone who had been constipated for many years had cleared their intestines. The already fierce gale-force winds were dozens of times more violent, and even the speed of absorbing the earth vein power was accelerating.
The gushing reddish-yellow earth vein power surged like a flood, and the passages of the Giant Maw twitched and vibrated violently. Even the Xuanhuang Stone crystals were constantly shattering, then being absorbed and spewed out.
"Hold steady." Jiang Wen said calmly, his magical power flowing out. He controlled the Four Symbols Sword Formation, standing steadily in the midst of this fiercest gale-force wind and earth vein power. Resisting the fierce gale-force winds, he headed towards the extremely glorious place not far away.
At this moment, the entire Flesh Earth was trembling. The Abyssal Giant Maw seemed to have been cleared by something, making a violent whistling sound, and countless Xuanhuang Stone fragments spewed out from the Giant Maw, scattered all over the Flesh Earth.
The fierce gale-force winds slammed into the rock layer above, shattering countless stones. Even Hongluan and others in the upper layer felt the tremor. The white-clothed youth beside her raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of doubt appeared in his deep eyes.
"It shouldn't be yet, I and Daoist friend Jiang have agreed that when that matter is completed, a flying sword will penetrate the rock layer." Hongluan stabilized her body, looking around and replying to her master. The white-clothed youth nodded, then sat on the ground again to rest with his eyes closed.
And the disciples of the God-Worshipping Society located on the Flesh Earth were even more confused by the movement of the Flesh Earth. They stood on the Flesh Earth, looking at the huge Xuanhuang Stones falling from the sky. Many people were even smashed into meat paste by the falling Xuanhuang Stones because they didn't have time to avoid them.
The Giant Maw was like a volcano, spewing out its infinite power.
Hui Zhu and Yin Yang looked at the trembling Flesh Earth, both of them showing doubtful expressions in their eyes. What happened that caused the Flesh Earth to move so much? Could something have happened at the Xuan Mouth?
The two immediately rushed to the Giant Maw, but looking at the gale-force winds that were dozens of times fiercer than before, neither of them dared to stick their heads out to observe.
"I'm afraid the flesh and blood of that deity has grown again." Hui Zhu pondered for a long time, then murmured. "In such a desperate situation, even a saint would not dare to go in rashly, right?"
"We still need to be careful, I have already sensed the aura of Taoist Palace cultivators coming from the Blood Sea." Yin Yang nodded, a solemn look appearing on the sheep's face. "Now we only need to watch over the incarnation of the God of Creation. When the God of Creation is fully formed, this place can also be abandoned."
"To be on the safe side, we should quickly call Heavenly Dog back."
"Okay."
After the two finished speaking, they left the Giant Maw, and deep in the Giant Maw where they didn't know, Jiang Wen looked in astonishment at the thing surrounded by endless earth vein power.
"It's actually you!" he said in disbelief.
