Chapter 398: Depths of 300,000 Feet
Su Changyu still had something he hadn’t said.
Exploring opportunities wasn’t without risks.
If they all went together, and ultimately ended up wiped out.
Wouldn’t the legacy of the [Rebirth Immortal] be cut off forever?
This was the point that weighed most heavily on Xiao Heng’s mind.
But Su Changyu could see that, at this moment, everyone present besides Xiao Heng didn’t place much importance on the [Rebirth Immortal].
At least, compared to their own cultivation, the so-called [Rebirth Immortal] legacy was simply not worth mentioning.
Xiao Heng might not be unaware of this point in his heart.
However, he had his own principles and did not force others.
So it was not easy for him to say it directly.
Although Su Changyu’s eyes had remained closed, he was aware of the thoughts of everyone in the field.
So he took the initiative to break the ice, “How about this, Xiao Heng, Little Sister, and Zhang Haobo, you three go together to the Cangwu Abyss.”
“As for me, I’ll stay here.”
Before Su Xiaomei could object, he continued to explain, “The cultivation method I practice is special. The so-called opportunities are actually of little use to me.”
“So you don’t have to worry about it.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng gave Su Changyu a grateful look.
Su Xiaomei, however, turned her head away in a fit of pique, refusing to look at Su Changyu.
However, Little Sister still trusted Su Changyu’s words.
Now that he had made the decision, the matter was practically settled.
“Then there’s just one more Little Medicine King Cauldron. Could it be that, as the senior said, we should sell it?” Zhang Haobo asked, frowning.
“No,” Su Changyu shook his head in denial.
“Carrying the Little Medicine King Cauldron is already a crime. If we expose our knowledge of this true Medicine King Cauldron for the sake of a little profit, it would be unwise.”
“It’s better to keep it, and when the time is right, throw it out as bait to distract the enemy.”
Xiao Heng also agreed with Su Changyu’s words.
“Although it’s a bit of a pity, this is also the most stable approach.”
“Whatever! You guys decide anyway!” Su Xiaomei snorted, no longer objecting.
She grabbed Han Wuyou and went outside to play.
“The journey to the Cangwu Abyss is long. We are not Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivators, so we cannot use the teleportation array.”
“If we fly with our physical bodies, it would take too long, and we might have unforeseen accidents along the way.”
“We need to come up with a good plan…”
Xiao Heng stroked his chin, frowning as he spoke.
“That…” Zhang Haobo hesitated.
“What?” Xiao Heng looked at Zhang Haobo with some surprise.
“The teleportation array, maybe we can use it too.” Zhang Haobo explained.
“You know, during our exploration in Jiushan Province, we met Senior Shuofeng.”
“On our trip to Chaoyuan Sect, we even fought our way out of a mountain of corpses and blood together.”
“We can be considered close friends.”
“When we parted ways, Senior Shuofeng invited us to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, although we declined.”
“But he still expressed understanding and left a jade token for Little Sister.”
“With that jade token, we should have no problem using the teleportation array.”
Xiao Heng nodded upon hearing this, “That would be best.”
He thought that Zhang Haobo’s previous hesitation was because Shuofeng was a Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivator.
Xiao Heng said solemnly, “I am not someone who is inflexible. Our enemy is the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, not every individual within the alliance.”
“If we can befriend Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivators and undermine them from within, it would be a win-win situation.”
“Why would I object?”
“I’ll go find Little Sister and talk to her about this.”
With that, Xiao Heng left to find Su Xiaomei.
Zhang Haobo watched Xiao Heng’s back and shook his head helplessly.
“What, is there something going on between Little Sister and that Shuofeng?” It was Su Changyu who noticed Zhang Haobo’s meaning and asked with interest.
“Who knows, anyway, I see them getting along like a house on fire. That Shuofeng, although he has now returned to Nascent Soul cultivation, doesn’t mind Little Sister’s cultivation.”
“Sigh, this kid Xiao Heng, he has no sense of crisis at all.”
Su Changyu chuckled, “You worry too much. In my opinion, Little Sister’s heart may not be on matters of love.”
Zhang Haobo was also speechless, shaking his head.
…
Years had passed, and the little kids from back then seemed to have all grown up.
Yet, there were still some things that remained unchanged.
Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia, and he suddenly thought of his children from his previous lives.
“I’m getting old,” he murmured to himself.
Then, quickly, Li Fan suppressed this emotion.
…
As for Xiao Heng, it took a lot of effort to coax Su Xiaomei into a cheerful mood and agree to hand over Shuofeng’s jade token.
After a few days of preparation, Xiao Heng, Su Xiaomei, and Zhang Haobo set off on their journey to the Cangwu Province.
Han Wuyou’s big eyes were filled with envy.
He waved goodbye to them.
Su Changyu’s eyelids twitched violently, as if he wanted to open his eyes.
But his expression remained calm and serene.
Until the very end, he did not open his heavy eyes.
Shuofeng’s jade token really worked.
Even though they were not Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivators, Xiao Heng and the others were able to enter the Shilin Immortal City without any obstacles.
Xiao Heng tightly held back Su Xiaomei, who was very curious and wanted to go sightseeing.
With some trepidation in his heart, he activated the teleportation array.
They teleported to the border of Shilin Province, crossed the white mist barrier, and arrived in Yuandao Province.
Then, they continuously used the teleportation array to head towards the Cangwu Abyss, in the southwestern corner of the Xuanhuang World.
Thus, after more than half a month.
When Li Fan began to inspect the Tianxuan Soul Locking Formation in Lanlin Province, Xiao Heng and his group finally reached their destination.
“It seems that Lanlin Province is indeed not far from the Cangwu Abyss. Even without using the sensing formation, my Formless Killing Intent can sense the scene.”
With the help of their eyes, Li Fan was finally able to see the Cangwu Abyss, which had been famous for so long, with his own eyes.
Unlike the Congyun Abyss, which had completely turned into nothingness.
This Cangwu Abyss was more like a wasteland of the Great Xuan.
Below towering cliffs was an endless valley.
Above the valley, crimson clouds swirled, their ends nowhere to be seen.
Many birds and beasts soared through the clouds.
And on the cliff walls, at intervals downward, there were many buildings built against the mountain, extending deep into the mountain.
“The Cangwu Abyss was formed many years ago when the mountains and rivers of the Cangwu Province all disappeared, creating this unique landform.”
“Therefore, the abyss has its own boundary, shaped like a footprint.”
“It has been explored down to about 300,000 feet, but the bottom is still far from sight.”
“The Cangwu Abyss is not empty, but has its own appearance.”
“The first layer, from the ground to 30,000 feet underground. Many strange beasts inhabit the Cangwu clouds and the cliffs of the abyss.”
“These beasts can swallow gold and spit lightning, and they are very powerful. They are fearless of death and travel in packs. You must be careful to avoid them.”
“The second layer, from 30,000 feet to 80,000 feet underground.”
…
Su Xiaomei read aloud from the jade slip that was given for free outside the Cangwu Abyss, her eyes wide with wonder.
“So big, so deep.”
“Then even if the Medicine King Cauldron is really in this Cangwu Abyss, we won’t be able to find it, right?”
She sent a voice transmission.
But Xiao Heng’s heart stirred.
He used the Little Medicine King Cauldron in his storage ring to sense.
Sure enough, in a certain location at the very bottom of the abyss, something was echoing with the Little Medicine King Cauldron.
