Chapter 352: Magic Sound from the Bottom of the Abyss
Chapter 350 – Magic Sound from the Bottom of the Abyss
“Shouting Abyss? What is that place?” Hearing the name revealed an ominous aura, Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.
Ji Hongdao glanced back at Li Fan and smiled, “It’s useless to tell you now, wait until afterward, you will know.”
“It’s a bit dangerous, but you guys don’t have to worry excessively.”
“With us old guys around, nothing big can happen.”
Ji Hongdao was clearly confident in himself and said in disbelief.
Since Ji Hongdao had said so, naturally Li Fan could not continue to pursue the matter and retreated to the side with Xue Mou.
Not long after, Shangguan Shi, the skinny man that he had met once in the Huan Yu Bei Yuan, also came to the ship with five other people.
These five people were not members of the previous training set and wore the Wan Xian League’s standard robes, with mature faces and capable demeanor.
It seemed like it was not the first time they had come to this flying boat, and they were very familiar with its structure.
After saluting Ji Hongdao, they walked straight into the cabin.
When they brushed shoulders with Li Fan Xue Mou, they also nodded slightly in greeting.
Xue Mou did not react to the other party’s identity for a moment and stayed in place.
Li Fan, on the other hand, was likewise extremely familiar and greeted the other party.
When the other party’s figure disappeared from sight, Li Fan’s ears heard Xue Mou’s earnest, inviting transmission.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan, you seem to know them? I wonder about these people, what are their identities?”
Li Fan hastily shook his head, “I don’t know them. But we are all members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and are as close as family members. It’s just normal to meet and say hello, right?”
Xue Mou was dumbfounded, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to retort.
Fortunately, it was still Fatty Huangfu Song who relieved him.
“Let’s go, don’t just stand there. The people have almost arrived, so I guess it’s almost time to leave.” Huangfu Song glanced at Li Fan, grunted and ordered.
Li Fan looked like he was looking up to his senior and followed behind Huangfu Song.
Passing through the cabin corridor, Li Fan realized that quite a few people had already gathered on this flying boat before.
It seemed that it wasn’t just the formation masters from the Formation Cursing Hall.
The solemn and bloody aura that was faintly coming from the cultivators in certain rooms let Li Fan know that it was estimated that this trip might not be as easy as Ji Hongdao had said.
The two of them followed Huangfu Song and came to an unoccupied cabin to sit down.
Li Fan, with a smile on his face, asked Huangfu Song for advice, “Senior Huangfu, can you reveal what our mission objective is this time?”
Huangfu Song looked at Li Fan with a smile on his face, “You kid, you also know that you are afraid?”
Li Fan graciously admitted, “The guts of my junior, of course, cannot be compared to you, senior. After all, senior even Tantai Tao and the others ……”
“Stop! Stop!” Huangfu Song’s face changed slightly, “You brat, why don’t you leave Tantai Tao in three sentences.”
His eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a dangerous light as he scrutinized Li Fan in detail.
After a moment, Huangfu Song then put away the killing intent in his heart, and a smile resurfaced on his face.
“Hmph, there is no harm in telling you guys. Dean Ji, if he doesn’t tell you, it’s just that it’s a long story and troublesome to explain.”
Huangfu Song knocked on the table in front of him with a big grin and took a sip of the Spirit Tea that had suddenly surfaced and was still steaming hot before he said with a somewhat solemn expression, “On our trip, we’re going to head to the depths of the White Mist.”
“The White Mist Depths?” Li Fan and Xue Mou glanced at each other, their hearts slightly startled.
However, they did not show it and followed Huangfu Song’s example, tapping the tabletop and drinking the hot spirit tea in one go. Patiently, they listened to Huangfu Song’s narration.
“As you all know, there is the [White Mist Barrier] that runs across heaven and earth, dividing each state. If you travel through the white mist, you will have to lose your longevity. Even through a teleportation array, you can’t avoid it.”
“That’s why even we cultivators are unwilling to move around frequently unless it’s necessary.”
Li Fan nodded slightly in agreement.
“It is because of this reason that causes our knowledge of the White Mist to be extremely limited.”
“Most people believe that the White Mist Barrier merely appeared on the original earth and existed as a dividing line.”
“But in reality ……”
Huangfu Song smiled heatedly, “The White Mist is far more expansive than we can imagine.”
“So if you’re fine, don’t try to physically cross it on a whim. Otherwise, we can’t say that we’ll be lost in the vast white fog, and it’ll be hard for Heavenly Father to save us.”
This was the first time Xue Maku had heard of such a thing, and he couldn’t help but look a little nervous and grave.
Li Fan thought for a moment, not being bluffed by Huangfu Song, and spoke out, “Every year, there are not many cultivators who physically cross the white mist barrier, but there are definitely quite a few.”
“I think that what senior said, the vast area that exists in the White Mist Barrier, is only a very small number.”
“Otherwise, if it were truly as treacherous as what senior described, it would have been noticed long ago.”
Huangfu Song’s words stopped at once, somewhat embarrassed by Li Fan’s revelation.
However, he immediately retorted with a sneer, “I don’t know how many cultivators who never returned from their journey in the White Mist were holding the same idea as you.”
“If you are not afraid of death, by all means you can boldly try.”
“It clearly seems to be just a stone’s throw away, but it’s like a heavenly moat that can’t be traversed in any way. We call these locations in the White Mist Barrier, the [Misty Domain].”
“I can’t reveal the number of maze domains that have been explored so far. But it is definitely far beyond what you can imagine, kid.”
Huangfu Song saw Li Fan nodding his head in agreement, no longer talking tough, and his heart burst with relief.
Only then did the party continue, “The destination of our trip, [Shouting Abyss], is a maze domain that was discovered a long time ago.”
“As the name suggests, it is an area that extends infinitely downward in space, unfathomably deep and without end.”
“Every so often, there are inexplicable sounds of astonishment, desperate hisses, trance-like murmurs. And so on different sounds emanate from the bottom of the abyss.”
“Ordinary cultivators and those with a weak mind, once they are tempted by the sounds, they will lightly go off the deep end and regress in their cultivation.”
“In the worst case, they will lose their sanity and become inhuman monsters who only know how to kill.”
Huangfu Song seemed to recall something, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
“Because this lost domain is too bizarre, once it was discovered, it was focused on by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”
“So the alliance was also able to discover that the sounds coming from the Shouting Abyss were getting louder and louder.”
When Xue Maku heard this, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Getting louder and louder?”
Huangfu Song nodded, “Affected by this, the Eternal Immortal Bastion that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has set up outside of the Rebuking Abyss has been forced to constantly migrate upwards over the years.”
“But in order to stifle the influence of the demonic sound within the confines of the Rebuking Abyss, that Eternal Immortal Barrier can no longer be retreated.”
“That’s why starting a hundred years ago, the alliance began to try to use some special means to fight against the demonic sounds coming from the bottom of the abyss.”
“Special means? Could it be …… “Li Fan steeply will remember something and his heart stirred.
