The hidden truth cauldron in the maze city

"This City of Giant Eyes is said to have been built by a Senior who explored the abyss. He slew a monster that emerged from the bottom, took its eyeballs, embedded them into the cliffside, and hollowed it out to build the city."

"The giant eyes can peer into the extreme depths below, effectively monitoring any abnormal movements in the Cangwu Abyss."

The three of them slowly descended past the City of Giant Eyes, their hearts filled with an unspeakable shock.

"Just a single eyeball is of such a scale."

"It's truly hard to imagine just how massive the monster that emerged from the depths of the Cangwu Abyss was."

The moment their bodies crossed the eighty-thousand-foot boundary.

Xiao Heng felt his strength being weakened by several degrees once again.

"Even the Late Stage of Qi Refining can no longer stand its ground here."

"Only with Foundation Establishment strength can one barely continue the descent."

The pressure brought by the abyss began to manifest.

"The third layer isn't as vast as the Forest of Spirit Whispers; it's only between eighty thousand and one hundred thousand feet deep."

"But the level of danger is several times higher."

Continuing their descent, Xiao Heng and the others heard a faint booming sound coming from far below.

Xiao Heng looked into the distance. Within the vast White Mist, there seemed to be two giant figures standing in the void, wielding sharp blades and battling each other.

"The third layer, the Puppet Gorge."

"There are two massive stone-cast Puppets from ancient times fighting in this region."

"The two Puppets are in a strange state between reality and illusion. If you fly close to inspect them, they are like phantoms that cannot be touched."

"However, their influence on the surrounding area is very real."

"The Puppets are nearly twenty thousand feet tall, and their strength is said to be close to the Dao Integration stage."

"Even from a great distance, one might be injured by the aftershocks of their battle."

Bang! Bang!

In the blurred White Mist, the figures of the two stone Puppets flickered in and out of view.

The three of them stared at this fantastical sight in a daze.

After a long while, Xiao Heng finally spoke up, "Alright, let's continue downward."

"Caution above all else."

During the descent, they had to constantly watch the movements of the two giant stone Puppets to avoid potential energy impacts.

Furthermore, the strength of the exotic creatures appearing in the clouds and mist grew increasingly formidable.

Thus, the trio's progress became slower and slower.

It took them a full two days to reach the lower boundary of the Puppet Gorge.

"The fourth layer is just ahead."

"The good news is, it seems the Medicine King True Cauldron is not far below."

Xiao Heng manipulated the little medicine king cauldron again, sensed for a moment, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"That being said, we cannot let our guard down."

Zhang Haobo frowned slightly and said via voice transmission.

"Alright, hurry up. I'm getting a bit impatient to see that treasure." Su Xiaomei curled her lip and was the first to enter the fourth layer.

Between the third and fourth layers, there were no footholds for Cultivators.

Only a bright red line carved into the cliffside marked the boundary.

"The fourth layer, the Lost City."

"Between one hundred thousand and one hundred and thirty thousand feet underground."

Sensing his own condition, Xiao Heng frowned slightly.

Having his cultivation suppressed by an amount equivalent to an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator out of thin air was already starting to have a noticeable impact on him.

He changed his flight direction, no longer descending vertically.

Instead, he flew diagonally toward the center of the Lost City.

Countless architectural ruins floated haphazardly in the air.

It was as if an apocalyptic disaster had struck; fragments of broken ruins were everywhere.

There were no remains, no left-behind items.

Only the corpses of buildings lay quietly in this space, telling the tale of what they had once endured.

The surroundings were terrifyingly silent.

The repetitive scenery of ruins brought a slight sense of oppression.

Xiao Heng and the others had to bolster their spirits.

Because in the Lost City, not only were there unknown creatures made entirely of stone that could jump out and attack at any time.

There were also Cultivators with ill intentions hiding in the shadows, waiting to launch sneak attacks.

The presence of the Immortal Suppressing Force, along with the cluttered ruins, provided them with the perfect hiding places.

If one waited until the stone beasts besieged the target and both sides were injured before acting, the chances of success would increase significantly.

Furthermore, beneath the abyss, the phenomena that occur when a Cultivator falls are difficult to manifest.

After succeeding, fleeing far away was enough to ensure no one would ever know.

The number of Cultivators who had mysteriously vanished in this Lost City was certainly not small.

As Xiao Heng and the others went deep into the ruins toward the location of the Medicine King True Cauldron.

As expected, they were attacked by two waves of Cultivators.

However, the opponents were merely petty scoundrels after all.

Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo had previously managed to retreat safely from the siege of thousands of Faceless Blood-Face Cultivators in the Chaoyuan Sect Ruins.

How could they possibly care about these people?

Without much effort, they easily dispatched those people.

After wiping out two groups and demonstrating their strength, things finally quieted down a lot.

"It seems we have tails following us."

Zhang Haobo warned.

"I'll go slaughter them." Su Xiaomei raised her eyebrows, a red light flashing in her eyes as she prepared to turn back and strike.

"Don't! We came for the Medicine King Cauldron, not to kill people." Xiao Heng hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"Attracting attention would be counterproductive."

"We'll just lose them."

With that, the three of them suddenly accelerated.

They twisted and turned through the ruins.

After spending half a day, they finally shook off all the people tailing them.

"Go!"

Zhang Haobo formed a hand seal to conceal everyone's presence.

Then, they headed straight for the Medicine King True Cauldron.

After flying like this for half a day, they finally reached the sensed location.

"Hmm?!"

Xiao Heng looked around in confusion; he didn't see any sign of the Medicine King True Cauldron.

"It should be right here."

"Let's split up and search around."

Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo nodded and then dispersed.

A short while later.

"Nothing?"

Xiao Heng frowned deeply.

"That shouldn't be right."

Xiao Heng, unwilling to give up, searched once more.

He still found nothing.

Su Xiaomei took the little medicine king cauldron out of her storage ring, held it in her hand, and sensed again.

The result hadn't changed at all.

"What now?"

After their failed attempts, the three gathered again to discuss.

"It's a bit strange."

"I clearly feel that the Medicine King True Cauldron is right here, yet there's no trace of it."

Xiao Heng looked around, his face full of bewilderment.

"Perhaps it's hidden."

Zhang Haobo narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke.

With that, he activated his spiritual power and sent a spiritual blade toward the sensed location of the Medicine King Cauldron.

As if striking something, the air distorted for a moment.

The spiritual blade vanished silently.

Then, the fluctuating scene returned to normal.

"Wow! It really is like that!"

Su Xiaomei clapped her hands in excitement.

She flew toward that point of abnormality.

However, as if it had just been an illusion, she passed through without any obstruction.

Refusing to believe it, Su Xiaomei tried several times, but the result was the same.

"This is so frustrating! What on earth is going on!"

Xiao Heng was much more composed, carefully touching that non-existent barrier with his hand.

"The little medicine king cauldron is the key to entering the Medicine King True Cauldron."

Xiao Heng was lost in thought.

"This little medicine king cauldron can hold people, right?"

He suddenly asked.
