Chapter 398: Three Hundred Thousand Zhang Deep

Su Changyu still had something left unsaid.

Seeking opportunities was not without its risks.

If they all went together and ended up being wiped out…

…the Legacy of [Resurrection Immortal] would be severed forever.

This was the point Xiao Heng was most concerned about.

However, Su Changyu could also see that, aside from Xiao Heng, the others present didn't place much importance on [Resurrection Immortal] at the moment.

At the very least, compared to their own cultivation, the so-called [Resurrection Immortal] Legacy was truly not worth mentioning.

Xiao Heng might not have been unaware of this either.

But he had his own principles and didn't force them upon others.

So, it was hard for him to say it directly.

Although Su Changyu's eyes remained closed, he had insight into everyone's thoughts.

Thus, he took the initiative to resolve the situation: "How about this: Xiao Heng, Xiaomei, and Zhang Haobo, you three head to Cangwu Abyss together."

"As for me, I'll stay here."

Before Su Xiaomei could object, he continued, "The Cultivation Technique I practice is unique. These so-called opportunities aren't actually of much use to me."

"So, don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng cast a grateful look toward Su Changyu.

Su Xiaomei, however, turned her head away in a huff, refusing to look at Su Changyu.

Yet, Xiaomei still had a lot of faith in Su Changyu's words.

Now that he had made the call, the matter was practically settled.

"Then wouldn't we have an extra little medicine king cauldron? Are we really going to sell it like Senior said?" Zhang Haobo asked with a frown.

"No," Su Changyu shook his head in denial.

"Possessing the little medicine king cauldron is already like harboring a treasure that invites trouble. It would be unwise to expose our knowledge of the Medicine King True Cauldron for some small profit."

"Better to keep it and throw it out at a critical moment as a decoy to distract the enemy."

Xiao Heng also agreed with Su Changyu.

"Although it's a bit of a pity, this is indeed the safest approach."

"Whatever! You guys decide anyway!" Su Xiaomei huffed and stopped objecting.

She grabbed Han Wuyou and went outside to play.

"The journey to Cangwu Abyss is long. We aren't Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Cultivators, so we can't use the teleportation arrays."

"Flying physically would take too long, and there's no telling what accidents might happen along the way."

"We still need to think of a good way…"

Xiao Heng rubbed his chin and said with a frown.

"Um…" Zhang Haobo hesitated.

"What is it?" Xiao Heng looked at Zhang Haobo in surprise.

"Perhaps we can use the teleportation arrays too," Zhang Haobo explained.

"As you know, during our previous expedition in Nine Mountains Province, we met Senior Shuo Feng."

"During the trip to the Chao Yuan Sect, we even fought our way out of a sea of blood and corpses together."

"One could say we have quite a deep bond."

"Upon parting, Senior Shuo Feng invited us to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, though we politely declined."

"But he was understanding and left a jade token for Xiaomei."

"With that jade token, using the teleportation arrays shouldn't be much of a problem."

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "That would be for the best."

He had thought Zhang Haobo's earlier hesitation was because Shuo Feng was a Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Cultivator.

Xiao Heng said solemnly, "I'm not someone who is inflexible. Our enemy is the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, not every single person within it."

"If we can befriend their Cultivators and disintegrate them from within, it would be purely beneficial."

"Why would I object?"

"I'll go talk to Xiaomei right now."

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 between Xiaomei and Shuo Feng?" Su Changyu, having sensed Zhang Haobo's meaning, asked with interest.

"Who knows? Anyway, they seemed to be hitting it off. Although Shuo Feng has regained his Soul Transformation cultivation, he doesn't seem to mind Xiaomei's level."

"Sigh, that kid Xiao Heng has no sense of crisis at all."

Su Changyu chuckled, "You worry too much. In my view, Xiaomei might not have romance on her mind at all."

Zhang Haobo also shook his head, speechless.

…

After many years, the little children from back then seemed to have all grown up.

Yet, some things faintly remained unchanged.

Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sudden wave of emotion, momentarily recalling his children from his earliest lifetimes.

"I really am getting old," he thought to himself.

Soon after, Li Fan suppressed this wisp of emotion.

…

Anyway, it took Xiao Heng a great deal of effort to get Su Xiaomei smiling again and agreeing to hand over Shuo Feng's jade token.

After a few days of preparation, Xiao Heng, Su Xiaomei, and Zhang Haobo set out on the long journey to Cangwu Province.

Han Wuyou's large eyes were filled with envy.

He waved his hand to say goodbye to them.

Su Changyu's eyelids twitched violently, as if he wanted to open his eyes.

But his expression remained incredibly calm throughout.

Until the very end, he did not open his double-pupiled eyes.

Shuo Feng's jade token was indeed useful.

Even though they weren't Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Cultivators, Xiao Heng and the others were able to enter Shi Lin Immortal City without hindrance.

Xiao Heng firmly held back the curious Su Xiaomei, who wanted to wander around everywhere.

With some trepidation, he activated the teleportation array.

Teleporting to the border of Shi Lin Province and crossing the White Mist Barrier, the group arrived in Yuandao Province.

They then continued to use teleportation arrays, heading toward Cangwu Abyss in the southwestern corner of the Xuanhuang World.

Thus, more than half a month later…

Just as Li Fan began inspecting the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array in Lanlin Prefecture, Xiao Heng's group finally reached their destination.

"It seems Lanlin Prefecture is indeed not far from Cangwu Abyss. Even without the help of a sensing array, my Formless Killing Intent can sense the visuals."

Through the eyes of the others, Li Fan was finally able to see the long-famed Cangwu Abyss with his own eyes.

Unlike the Congyun Abyss, which had completely turned into nothingness…

…this Cangwu Abyss was more like the Void Abyss of Great Xuan.

Below the towering cliffs lay an endless deep valley.

Above the valley, crimson mist swirled, with no end in sight.

Many birds and exotic beasts soared within the mist.

On the cliff faces, at intervals descending into the depths, there were many buildings built against the mountains and extending deep into the rock.

"Cangwu Abyss is a unique landform created many years ago when the mountains and waters of the entire Cangwu Province vanished."

"Thus, the abyss has its boundaries and is shaped like a footprint."

"It has currently been explored to a depth of about three hundred thousand zhang, yet it is still far from the bottom."

"Cangwu Abyss is not empty; it has various distinct features."

"The first layer, from the surface to thirty thousand zhang underground. Many exotic beasts dwell within the Cangwu mist and the abyss boundaries' cliff faces."

"These beasts consume metal and spit lightning, possessing extraordinary strength. They are fearless and travel in packs; one must be cautious."

"The second layer, from thirty thousand zhang to eighty thousand zhang underground."

"…"

Su Xiaomei read the explanatory Jade Slip given for free by Cultivators outside Cangwu Abyss word by word, her eyes wide.

"It's so big, so deep."

"Even if that Medicine King True Cauldron is really inside this Cangwu Abyss, we wouldn't be able to find it, right?"

She sent a sound transmission.

Xiao Heng's heart stirred.

He manipulated the little medicine king cauldron in his storage ring to sense.

Sure enough, at a certain location deep within the abyss, something was resonating with the little medicine king cauldron.
