Chapter 1172: The Origin of Everything Lies in Kunlun

The convoy sped toward home, and Gu Jin spent the whole way deep in thought.

After they got home, when she took An Mingji back to the room, she called for Allen, whose body was weak and needed rest.

Some things had to be clarified as soon as possible.

The Guardian of the Kunlun Mountain Range, the eerie quiet within Death Valley—everything was just too strange.

Gu Jin shifted An Mingji onto the bed and sat beside him, channeling Spiritual Energy into him.

Allen stood inside the room, his face full of worry, guilt, and self-reproach, wishing he could take all of this on in his master’s stead.

Gu Jin lifted her gaze, eyes dark and deep. "Allen, tell me in detail about your trip to Death Valley, especially the Mountain Guardian of the Kunlun Mountain Range, and the situation inside Death Valley."

Allen recounted everything once more, this time even more detailed than he had in the car.

Gu Jin gazed tenderly at the man lying on the bed. A faintly golden Elixir suddenly appeared in her hand.

Even knowing the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill might be useless, she still wanted to try.

Aside from the Spiritual Energy she kept sending into him to maintain his vital signs, An Mingji’s body couldn’t absorb anything at all.

Gu Jin wasn’t willing to just give up.

With her fingertips, she gently pried open An Mingji’s mouth, delivered the Elixir inside, then slowly closed his jaw.

An Mingji simply couldn’t swallow.

Gu Jin’s brows creased slightly as she gently lifted his chin.

Because her movements were too gentle, the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill simply couldn’t be swallowed by An Mingji.

She repeated the action, this time applying a bit of force, and only then did the Elixir slide down his throat.

The Spiritual Energy Gu Jin was channeling locked onto the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill, trying to make it exert its full effect within An Mingji’s body.

The outcome was far from ideal.

The medicinal power did spread out, but unfortunately, it did nothing for An Mingji.

His body was extremely bizarre, unable to absorb anything.

The Spiritual Energy Gu Jin sent into An Mingji washed through his Four Meridians and Eight Meridians, and even his Dantian, yet it was all consumed in vain.

If it were anyone else’s Cultivation, they would have collapsed long ago.

Even with Gu Jin’s Cultivation, she couldn’t withstand such reckless expenditure forever.

Fortunately, she had the weapon of spatial ability; otherwise An Mingji...

At the thought of that outcome, Gu Jin’s expression changed abruptly. Her gaze trembled slightly, lips pressed tight, her eyes turning grim and terrifying.

The oppressive aura surging from her spread rapidly through the room.

Because of the fierce, all-around pressure, the words at Allen’s lips couldn’t go on.

But what he had said was enough.

Gu Jin was now very certain that the source of everything lay in Kunlun.

The Guardian of the Kunlun Mountain Range, the eerily quiet Death Valley—they were all the culprits that had harmed her little An.

There had to be something strange there.

Allen said they entered Death Valley with ease. The people guarding the Kunlun Mountain Range only realized it later, yet they didn’t go in to stop them; they simply let them go in.

Gu Jin remembered that when she and little An went to Death Valley last year, there had been countless ferocious beasts inside, killing intent everywhere, and a magnetic field so bizarre it made one deeply uncomfortable.

But this time, when An Mingji, Allen, and the others went back in, they didn’t encounter a single living thing.

Gu Jin felt she needed to personally make a trip to Kunlun Death Valley to get to the bottom of all this.

But the precondition for that was An Mingji waking up safely.

Gu Jin waved Allen off. "I understand the situation. Go down and rest."

"Yes—"

Allen clutched his chest, which still ached in waves from the oppression just now, and walked painfully toward the door.

At the very instant he stepped out and gently closed the door, Gu Jin gathered An Mingji in her arms and flashed into the spatial realm.
