Beside the young boy, the dragon girl leaned in with a playful smirk on her lips and whispered teasingly into his ear, “Xiao Yunhao, so that legendary Ice Fairy is actually your childhood sweethear...
In the central-western part of the continent, a massive abyss stretches across the land, as if the earth had been cleaved open by a giant axe, forming a winding, endless black python that divides the entire continent in two.
The abyss varies in width. In some places, the cliffs on either side are thousands of miles apart, as if two different worlds have been forcibly torn apart. Even in some narrow places, it is hundreds of miles long, and the other side is completely invisible.
The edges of both banks are a desolate scene, with scorched earth and broken stones stretching to the horizon, as if eroded by an aura that extinguishes all life, leaving them riddled with holes.
If you get closer, you can see the dark gray mist rising and churning in the abyss like ghosts, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, but no matter how thick or thin it is, it gives people a creepy feeling.
Even above this abyss, not a single bird can be seen; it seems that all life is afraid to approach this land of death.
This gray-black mist is the illusory demonic energy that makes even ghosts and gods tremble with fear, and it is also one of the main reasons why righteous cultivators cannot cross the Dark Abyss!
There are several hundred miles between the border of the Hurricane Dynasty on the west side of Yunzhou and the Dark Abyss. After getting off the carriage in the capital of the dynasty, Shen Yunhao and the others could only travel to the Dark Abyss by flying swords.
However, while on the flying sword, Shen Yunhao asked Mu Shuangshuang about the exact location of Mo Yan, but the answer he received was that he didn't know...
"What? You don't know where the wisteria is?"
Shen Yunhao pulled a small scorpion from his sleeve, held it by its tail in mid-air, and said angrily, "Why are you leading the way if you don't know the location?"
The little scorpion's eight short legs flapped and thrashed wildly in the air. "Oh no! I'm falling! I'm going to die from this fall!"
At this moment, Ning Yuyao was flying on her sword, while Shen Yunhao stood behind her with one hand across his chest and the other hand holding the little scorpion's tail.
All of them were located thousands of meters above the ground.
To be honest, if the little scorpion had been thrown down at that moment, it might have actually died from the fall.
"Answer me! Look into my eyes! Tell me!"
Mu Shuangshuang: "???"
What the hell are you talking about?
Shen Yunhao put the little scorpion back into his sleeve, looked at the huge abyss that vaguely appeared in the distance, which seemed to be the end of the continent, and said irritably, "This dark abyss spans the entire Tianji Continent, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles from north to south. In such a big place, where are we supposed to find our brat?"
"Don't rush!"
The little scorpion clung to Shen Yunhao's arm, peeking half its head out from its sleeve. "We just need to get to the edge of the Dark Abyss, and then I'll naturally find a way to contact her!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao stroked his chin.
The Dark Abyss is filled with demonic energy, which corrodes spiritual energy and almost completely blocks most means of communication.
If there is any way to contact Mo Yan, it can only be through the communication methods formed by the material medium inside the Dark Abyss.
Therefore, reaching the edge of the Dark Abyss is indeed a necessary condition.
While Shen Yunhao was stroking his chin, the little scorpion jumped out of his sleeve and landed on Shen Minghao's shoulder, its little tail rubbing against Shen Yunhao's neck.
"Honey! Touch my tail..."
"What are you doing! We're in the sky, stop fooling around..."
"That's not fair at all! Aren't you just fooling around with Ning-mei too..."
As she spoke, she pointed with her tail at Shen Yunhao's left hand, which was clasped in front of Ning Yuyao's chest.
"What do you know? With so many people in tow, I need to find a bigger spot to hold onto so I don't fall!"
Shen Yunhao spoke with righteous indignation, his face remaining calm and composed.
Everyone: "..."
Ning Yuyao blushed slightly, but remembering that there were no outsiders around, she pursed her lips and continued to fly on her sword, pretending not to have heard.
Mu Shuangshuang angrily stung Chen Yunhao, "Want it to be even bigger? Is it because I can't handle you anymore?"
“Um…” Shen Yunhao pondered for a moment, “You can still hold on, but Qing Teng might not be able to…”
Mo Yan: "(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"
The little scorpion was finally satisfied. After a pause, it flapped its little legs and jumped onto Ning Yuyao's shoulder, then slid down and landed right where Shen Yunhao was holding.
After stomping twice, Mu Shuangshuang proudly raised her tail.
"Tch! It's not that much... Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Honey, help me! I'm going to die!"
Ning Yuyao, expressionless, pinched the scorpion's tail, pulled it into the air and swung it around twice, pretending to throw it, which frightened Mu Shuangshuang so much that she begged for mercy on the spot.
Shen Yunhao smiled helplessly, his gaze darkening slightly as he looked at the Dark Abyss slowly unfolding in his field of vision not far away.
"The other side... should be Lizhou, right..."
At this moment, Shen Yunhao suddenly remembered that he was still carrying a fox tail in his chest.
For some reason, Bai Xiaoruo didn't say a word the whole way, as if she were asleep.
Not long after, Ning Yuyao descended her flying sword.
The Dark Abyss and its surrounding area possess a peculiar field that renders flight ineffective. Moreover, this field intensifies the closer one gets to the Dark Abyss, which is the main reason why no one dares to cross it from the air.
Because it's very likely that it will be unable to fly halfway and will fall into the abyss.
During the walking phase, Mu Shuangshuang took out several paper talismans. "These are Abyss Spirit Talismans. The protective shield they generate can resist the erosion of the Illusionary Demon Qi to a certain extent. You should wear them!"
Generally speaking, apart from those old monsters with extremely high cultivation levels who can withstand it with their own abundant spiritual energy, others need to prepare such abyss spirit talismans to protect their lives if they want to approach the Dark Abyss.
Moreover, it must be worn in advance, because there is a small amount of demonic energy emanating from the abyss on the wasteland on both sides of the Dark Abyss, and it will be very troublesome if you get even a little bit of it.
As a holy maiden of the Demonic Sect who frequently crosses the Dark Abyss, Mu Shuangshuang naturally carries a lot of this kind of skincare products, lest she be unable to return home when the time comes...
"Speaking of which... Shuangshuang, how did the people of your Ten Thousand Poisons Sect manage to cross the Dark Abyss?"
It wasn't until the Dark Abyss was right in front of him that Shen Yunhao remembered the question that had always been a source of curiosity.
The Dark Abyss must have a way to bypass it. Not only the Demon Sect, but even the Misty Pavilion can set up a branch of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the opposite territory and frequently trade with the righteous path. This shows that many powerful forces have some special means to bypass the Dark Abyss.
As the Demonic Sect that crosses the Dark Abyss most frequently, their methods are undoubtedly the most sophisticated.
"We swam from the Dead Sea, so we just need to avoid those monsters as much as possible..."
"???"
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback. "You mean the Dead Sea at the very bottom of the Dark Abyss?"
Because the Abyss is so wide, the term "river" is no longer sufficient to describe the vast body of water beneath it.
In addition, the interior is filled with illusory demonic energy and terrifying monsters, so people named the dead zone at the bottom of the abyss... the Dead Sea!
Its infamy is many times more terrifying than the Ming River beneath the heavens!
