They walked and talked along the way, and soon they had crossed a whole wasteland, and the vast abyss was right in front of them.
"The demonic energy here is already quite dense..."
Mu Shuangshuang, a frequent visitor to the Dark Abyss, looked at the hazy gray mist in the distance and warned, "Be careful! The demons from the Dark Abyss occasionally appear around here. Although they aren't particularly powerful, engaging them in battle can easily attract other demons, and once there are too many, it will be difficult to deal with them!"
Shen Yunhao had heard of these demonic creatures. Apart from special beings like the Stinky Sister, countless mindless demonic beasts formed from illusory demonic energy were also born in the Dark Abyss, which would indiscriminately attack any living thing they saw.
These demons vary in cultivation level. Those on the outer surface may only have the combat power of the Copper Skin Iron Bone Realm, but the deeper they go, the stronger they become.
Rumor has it that some people have even seen super monsters at the Void Realm or even the Great Void Realm deep within the Dark Abyss!
Thinking about it this way, the Demonic Sect must have paid a heavy price to find a safe passage through the Dead Sea, the deepest part of the Dark Abyss...
Along the way, Shen Yunhao did not see any other living beings, which only highlighted that this was a true place of death.
Finally, a few minutes later, Shen Yunhao saw the inside of the abyss for the first time.
The dense demonic energy stained the entire sky a hazy gray, and the abyssal spirit amulets on the group emitted a soft light.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking into the depths of the abyss, the endless darkness seemed to devour one's soul. The abyss was bottomless, as if connected to the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Some blurry figures could be vaguely seen moving through the gray fog. Their bodies were twisted, some like giant worms, making a nauseating hissing sound, while others were humanoid, with limbs of different lengths, moving crookedly, and their empty eye sockets emitting a cold red light.
These monsters wandered aimlessly at the bottom of the abyss, seemingly searching for something, or perhaps simply driven by instinct.
"What are the senses of these monsters?"
"We're a bit weaker than ordinary cultivators, and we don't have a sense of smell, only sight and hearing... Even those high-level demons aren't particularly strong in terms of perception. This is what we rely on to navigate this Dark Abyss Dead Sea, but there's no room for error. Once we disturb a demon, the commotion will quickly attract countless of its kind. Whether we survive or not will then depend entirely on fate..."
"Forget about that now. How do you tell me how to send a message to your little sister?"
This time, Mu Shuangshuang didn't hesitate. She quickly took out an object that resembled an incense burner, placed it on the ground, opened the lid, lit the burner, and a faint purple aura drifted out.
"What's this?"
"What's burning inside is poisonous vine powder taken from your brat's body. This powder will soon spread along with the demonic energy and be sensed by the wisteria..."
"ah?"
Shen Yunhao glanced at the palm-sized furnace, then at the boundless dark abyss beside him, and patted his forehead. "How about we go back to Lin Yuan City and wait..."
Why?
"What if the wisteria's main body is in Leizhou? How long would it take for this powder to slowly drift over there?"
"puff--"
The little scorpion covered its mouth and laughed out loud, "You think this thing can just drift slowly in this abyss? Do you even know what air currents are?"
"Airflow?" Hearing such a technical term, Shen Yunhao was somewhat surprised. "Isn't it just air movement? Of course I know that."
"If it's placed here, it won't be air anymore, but Phantom Demon Qi! Just like ocean currents, the Phantom Demon Qi in this abyss also has streams of air flowing in specific directions, and the speed of the flow is actually much faster than you imagine."
"Furthermore, it doesn't necessarily have to drift to the wisteria itself. As long as other demonic vines grow in this dark abyss and come into contact with the poisonous vine powder, the wisteria will be able to sense it!"
"There's such a thing..." Shen Yunhao hesitated for a long time, then asked, "How long does it usually take you to contact Zi Teng?"
"We don't contact each other often; sometimes it takes half a day, sometimes two days."
Hearing this, Shen Yunhao nodded.
At this moment, Shen Yunhao noticed that Ning Yuyao was standing on the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at the dark abyss below.
"What's wrong, Yao'er?"
Ning Yuyao shook her head, turned around and suddenly leaned on Shen Yunhao's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yunhao, Yao'er can't help much whenever something happens."
"How can you say that?" Shen Yunhao didn't know why Ning Yuyao suddenly said that, but he still comforted her, "If it weren't for Yao'er, I might still be a useless young master of the Shen family in Linyuan City!"
The young girl smiled, a determined glint in her clear eyes. "Even without Yao'er, Brother Yunhao can still amount to something!"
"Of course! This lecherous brat is a master at picking up girls. Even if he sits still, he won't have to worry about who will take care of him in his old age..."
Mu Shuangshuang pulled out a recliner from somewhere, lay down on it, crossed her two long legs, and her black dress barely covered her thighs. She looked at Shen Yunhao with a playful smile.
"You talk too much!"
Ning Yuyao didn't dwell on this incident. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and said, "Brother Yunhao, I've failed to break through after several attempts at seclusion. I probably won't be able to accompany you to the North Sea this time..."
Shen Yunhao then realized that the girl was blaming herself for this.
On the way to the Dark Abyss by flying boat, Shen Yunhao had already studied the scroll that Lingyue Zhenren had given him, and the trip to the North Sea that Ning Yuyao mentioned was the key to breaking the Netherfire Curse.
As mentioned above, besides collecting some auxiliary materials, the most important thing is to bring Mo Yan to the North Sea's Polar Valley in order to break the Netherfire Curse at its root.
Shen Yunhao had specifically asked Zhuli whether the so-called Valley of the Polar Star was an island in the northern part of the North Sea, far from the mainland.
Based on this, Shen Yunhao speculated that if the Tianji Continent was located on a certain planet, then the Polar Star Valley might be a place similar to the North Pole.
Their purpose in coming to the Dark Abyss was twofold: first, to stop Zi Teng from using the Crimson Heart Begonia, and second, to take her with them to the North Sea to lift the Netherfire Curse.
If I happen to pass by the Dragon Clan, I'll also stop by to see what trouble Sister Li'er is facing.
It's unclear how long this trip will take. Ning Yuyao has heavy cultivation tasks and naturally can't follow, which is why she feels guilty.
"Don't worry, Yao'er, you are my stronghold. As long as you are here, no matter how disadvantaged we are, we will eventually have a chance to fight back."
