This was the fundamental reason for the disruption of the Spiritual Link!
"I sense... a powerful spiritual power is about to burst out of the inner mausoleum..."
The feeble Tomb Guardian had almost been frozen into an ice sculpture.
She no longer spoke, but transmitted her will through spiritual power instead.
"Beneath the Giant Statue Ruins, there lies a spark, an unclaimed spark." Chu Ling looked at the Tomb Guardian and slowly said, "That powerful spiritual power is the power of the spark."
"...Giant Statue Ruins...a spark?"
Master Qianye’s mind was clearly confused.
Her body frozen in ice, her thinking had also slowed considerably, and it took her a few seconds to realize the true meaning of these words.
Bits of ice fell from her mask.
Master Qianye actually chuckled softly and murmured, "So that’s it..."
Over the years, her Divination Skill had always failed to predict anything about the Giant Statue Ruins, initially thinking it was because Gu Changzhi was slumbering there... but then, as the Four Seasons Wilderness enveloped the miraculous realm born in the mountains and hills, she attempted to locate Gu Changzhi’s "dwelling place" within this mausoleum area, yet she could never find the answer.
From the beginning, she had been looking in the wrong direction.
The so-called unclaimed spark... must be the Netherworld King’s Spark!
"The Wine God has shared the power of the Great Cold Disaster Realm... thus the Netherworld King’s Spark has revived..." said the Tomb Guardian weakly. "There are many more people inside the mausoleum; we must get them out."
Once the spark fully revives, the entire mausoleum will be covered by a terrifying Transcendent power.
Then, a tsunami of spiritual power at its peak will strike.
These Transcendents, not strong enough, will all perish!
"I am trying to establish contact with Bai Xiu and the others..."
She ignited the Array Patterns in the mausoleum once again, sending her spirit deep into the Snow Forest.
Chu Ling felt anxious.
Just now, due to the impact of the Flame Power, she had missed the perfect opportunity to kill Gu Lushen.
Not having killed this man posed a great danger!
This madman, who caused the split in the Gu family... had masterminded the grand scheme of the mausoleum, trying to seize the Netherworld King’s Spark with his own efforts. What would Changye become if he succeeded?
The consequences were unimaginable.
What Chu Ling worried about most was not Gu Lushen seizing the spark, but that Gu Lushen, after breaking free from the Array Pattern’s confinement, would stop at nothing to kill Gu Shen!
After the Spiritual Link was severed, she had completely lost sight of the Snow Forest and could only use Divination Skill and calculations to search again.
Her heart was filled with anxiety.
Hoping to see Gu Shen.
If he was alive, he must leave the unstable area of the inner mausoleum quickly.
If the spark revives, the inner mausoleum could collapse any moment.
If a Transcendent’s spirit cannot withstand this tsunami... then they will lay buried beneath the ground, alongside these tombstones.
Chu Ling frantically searched.
Soon, she saw in the Snow Forest of the inner mausoleum several figures supporting each other... those were the severely injured elder Gu Qilin, Gong Qing, Mu Yi, and Luo Yu and Li Qingsui who had passed out!
Chu Ling felt as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
At the end of the group, were Bai Xiaochi and Bai Xiu, these strong individuals injured by Gu Lushen, now found and rescued!
They were all still alive...
Chu Ling breathed a great sigh of relief, then tensed up again.
The golden line of Divination Skill swept up to Bai Xiaochi’s face.
Chu Ling transmitted her spirit, vaguely feeling an ominous premonition, and asked in a trembling voice, "Family Master Bai... why don’t I see Gu Shen?"
Bai Xiaochi cast a complex look backward.
That look said more than a thousand words could.
Chu Ling fell silent.
She knew that Gu Shen had gone to the location of the Netherworld King’s Spark.
She took a deep breath.
Chu Ling quickly regained her composure and calmly said, "Family Master Bai... saving lives is urgent. Here is a map of the Qing Tomb Outer Mausoleum; it still has eight hundred ninety-seven dispersed Transcendents. Based on my estimate, the next outbreak of the Spirit Tsunami will happen in about twenty-three minutes."
The awakening of the Netherworld King’s Spark was speeding up.
The intervals between the ripples of spiritual tremors were getting shorter as well.
There wasn’t much time left for everyone in the mausoleum to act.
Bai Xiaochi instantly understood.
"The Disaster Realm of this mausoleum... mixed with the divine intent of the God of Wine, hence generating the rule of random entry into the mausoleum," he analyzed while frowning. "The Source Tower does not want the Transcendents in the mausoleum to gather, hence they are very sparsely distributed; searching for each Transcendent individually is very difficult... we likely need more manpower."
This was a big problem.
To spread the message of evacuation from the mausoleum, it was necessary to notify the Transcendents.
However, under the deliberate arrangements of the God of Wine’s intent, the Transcendents were spread out far apart... where could one find a large number of Transcendents willing to undertake the task of evacuation?
Just as Bai Xiaochi fell into thought.
He suddenly heard the dense tremors of the air from afar.
A clear female voice called out from the other end of the Snowfield.
Bai Xiaochi was slightly startled.
Bai Lu waved her hand from afar, and behind her, a nearly hundred-strong force of Bai Family Transcendents... appeared at the edge of the Snow Forest exit.
These people, because of "Bai Zesheng", had not been interfered by the intent of the God of Wine, were able to enter the mausoleum smoothly, and gathered together.
