Chapter 401: Cangwu Town Immortal Power
Chapter 399 – Cangwu Zhen Immortal Power
“Elder Skull was indeed correct in his words, these broken cauldrons are indeed the keys to enter the Pill King’s True Cauldron!”
When Xiao Heng told Little Sister Su about this discovery, she couldn’t help but smile with joy.
“This is great, as long as we follow the guide, I think we should find it soon.”
The three of them exchanged glances before sticking to the cliff wall of the Profound Realm and flew towards the bottom of the Cangwu Profound in a low-profile manner.
Upon descending to two hundred feet from the ground, the scenery within the abyss began to become very different from the surface.
Due to the presence of the year-round clouds above, the further down they went, the dimmer the surroundings became.
The cliff walls were no longer bare rocks, but many strange plants were growing from roots.
There were fine willows that glowed, and predatory pines disguised as rocks.
There is even a long black tree that hibernates like a python and rises up to hurt people when prey approaches.
And what existed with these plants were the beasts mentioned in the jade slip that needed to be watched out for.
Most of these beasts have a dark appearance, which is hard to detect with the naked eye under the dark and lightless abyss.
The appearance is even more strange, and the surface of the living beings are very different.
They did not appear to be naturally derived, but rather like a forced combination of fragments of various creatures.
A long worm that splits in the center and opens its mouth to feed.
Monstrous apes with their heads shrunk into their stomachs.
A strange bird with countless wriggling worms for wings.
……
All sorts of strange shapes and forms, making one chilly to look at.
And in this abyss, there seems to be some kind of mysterious power.
It inhibits the sensing range of the cultivator’s divine sense.
This power, as the depth continued to increase, became more and more significant.
Inadvertently during the cultivator’s descent, these strange creatures, either from the Abyssal Boundary cliffs, or from the void in the center of the abyss.
Suddenly emerging, they attacked the cultivators in groups.
As if they had a blood feud with the alien cultivators, the attacks of these foreign creatures would not end until they were completely dead.
Fortunately, although these beings under the abyss were numerous, they were only equivalent to the killing power of the late stage of Qi Refining.
For Su Xiaomei’s group, whose minimum strength was Jindan, they were not much of a threat.
With no danger along the way, spending half a day, they finally approached a giant boundary monument that was stuck across the cliff wall.
On it, the word “30,000” was written in eye-catching red glowing font.
It could be seen from a long distance away.
On top of this boundary marker, the continuous cliff wall was almost hollowed out inwards.
A brilliantly lit Hanging City on the Abyss was constructed.
“This is the first landing point for exploring the Cangwu Abyss.”
“Lin Cang City.”
“Further down, the abyss becomes more and more dangerous. That’s why it’s still necessary to provide a place for rest and supplies here.”
Xiao Heng looked at the endless stream of cultivators coming and going and secretly raised his guard in his heart.
Most of the cultivators who could come to the Cangwu Abyss to explore were not easy to deal with.
Their purpose of coming here was not only to collect those specialties of Cangwu Abyss that were worth a lot of money.
A large portion of them came here for the fire meteor that fell from the sky back then.
In recent years, there had been conflicting opinions about the true identity of the Fire Meteor.
It was the Pill King’s True Cauldron that had broken through the boundaries during the ancient times, and it wasn’t just one of the more widely circulated speculations.
Regardless, it was able to cause all cultivators who witnessed it to feel palpitations.
This fire meteor must be extraordinary.
As the saying goes, people die for money.
So it’s not hard to understand why there have been outside cultivators tirelessly pursuing it.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Heng and the others did not enter Lin Cang City.
They flew straight past the boundary monument and arrived at the second level, which was 30,000 feet below the surface. The moment they crossed the boundary monument, it was as if they had passed through an invisible shield.
A strange feeling surged through Xiao Heng’s heart.
“The strength has become a few points weaker, it’s really just like the rumors.”
His heart could not help but feel a bit more heavy, Xiao Heng transmitted a question to the Su Xiaomei duo.
“Have you guys detected well, the existence of the [Immortal Suppressing Power]?”
“Well, there is indeed a trace of it. But as of now, the impact is not too great.”
A moment later, Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo both responded in this manner.
“It seems that it is my strength that is weak after all.” Xiao Heng was somewhat helpless in his heart when he saw this.
He could only hope that the location where the Medicine King’s True Cauldron was located was within the range of the highest depth he could dive to.
[Zhen Xian Li], was the collective name that cultivators used for the inexplicable force that enveloped this Cangwu Abyss.
It was specifically manifested in the fact that as one continued to dive deeper and deeper into the Cangwu Abyss, the cultivator’s strength would be cut down accordingly.
The first layer within 30,000 feet is not yet obvious.
It would just interfere with the coverage of divine sense.
And after entering the second layer, the effect was immediately obvious.
Mid Qi Refining cultivation and below, once they entered it, they would become no different from mortals.
The spiritual energy in the body could not be mobilized and the ability to fly was lost.
There was only one way to end up: falling towards the bottom of the endless abyss, and being used as rations by the strange creatures on the way without any resistance.
This meant that at the very least, a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage would be able to survive on the second level of the Cangwu Abyss.
But in reality, as the depth continued to increase, the living beings in the abyss, too, were becoming stronger and stronger.
While the strength of the cultivators was constantly suppressed.
This also led to the fact that the further down they went, the more difficult it was to explore.
The three of them, Xiao Heng, became more and more cautious as they delved deeper into the second layer, the [Forest of Spirit Whispering].
The trees that were deeply rooted in the cliff walls of the Abyssal Realm recklessly extended their branches towards the center of the void Cangwu Abyss in a manner that defied common sense.
Forming a primordial forest that stretched on without being able to see the end and occupied a space of 50,000 feet above and below.
In addition to the dangerous and strange creatures that were becoming more and more diverse and powerful.
The murmurs and whispers that came from the forest from time to time were even more deadly.
This kind of sound would cause cultivators to create all kinds of hallucinations and lose their own minds.
Those who were not firm in their wills would fly towards the center of the Forest of Spirit Whispers as if they had lost their souls.
In the end, they would never be able to return.
Xiao Heng’s three men were all called handsome and their minds were similarly not bad.
Coupled with the fact that their strength was also truly strong, it took them almost a day to successfully traverse the second layer.
It went down to a depth of 80,000 feet.
At this point, the dense forest steeply thinned out.
There also seemed to be another source of light below, and the line of sight was steeply clearer.
What marked the boundary of the layer was no longer the horizontal stone monument like before.
Instead, it was a huge eyeball growing on the cliff wall.
The pupil in the center of the eyeball was replaced by the words “80,000” in blood.
The eyeball seemed to be alive, constantly turning and peering.
At this moment, it sensed that someone had arrived from above and instantly cast its gaze on Xiao Heng and his group.
An enormous pressure came from it, causing Xiao Heng’s body to tense up in an instant.
Luckily, the giant eyes only glanced at them before moving their eyes away and not looking any further.
“Whew……”
Xiao Heng let out a sigh of relief.
“The second landing point of the Cangwu Abyss, [City of Giant Eyes].”
