"Big Brother Ning, what should we do now?" Qianqian came over and asked.
"There are still six months before the third round of the Five Realms Pill Competition. We'll wait here for a day and head to the underground abyss a day later." Ning Cheng made up his mind after a little thought.
Nianyan didn't know when Ao Beijiang would return. Ao Beijiang might come back after a few years, or he might come back tomorrow. He had to do everything he could before Ao Beijiang came back.
"Okay." Qianqian didn't ask why Ning Cheng wanted to wait here for a day. She believed that Ning Cheng had his own reasons.
Ning Cheng did have his own reasons. Nianyan was the most talented woman he had ever seen since he started cultivating. It seemed that there was nothing she didn't know. Ning Cheng naturally didn't want to miss the handwritten notes left by such a powerhouse in the bamboo house.
Returning to the bamboo house, Ning Cheng saw that there were a few things on the bamboo platform that he had left behind. When Ning Cheng came closer, he saw that there were two books and a Talisman, along with a jade strip.
Ning Cheng immediately picked up the jade strip and swept his spiritual consciousness inside. A clear locational map appeared in his spiritual consciousness. Under this locational map, there was also a message from Nianyan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng, this jade strip's locational map points to this place. I've arranged an extremely concealing array formation in this bamboo forest. Without this jade strip, ordinary people shouldn't be able to find this place. However, Ao Beijiang is not an ordinary person, so I also left a talisman. If Ao Beijiang can find this place, this talisman can help you leave the Great Change Realm.
In the universe, you're not the only one with a Good Fortune Treasure. It's not impossible for someone with a Good Fortune Treasure to fall in the end. I've left two books here. One is my experience in Alchemy and Array Dao, and the other is my cultivation experience. I hope it can help you, Nianyan. "
Ning Cheng picked up the book and opened it. Many ideas that he had never thought of appeared in the book, letting Ning Cheng know that the value of these two books definitely surpassed many top-grade treasures.
… …
Scorched Tree Temple. Although it was called a temple, Ning Cheng actually saw an ancient tree.
Ning Cheng put away the Time Wheel and stood in front of this ancient tree with Qianqian. Apart from the Mysterious Ferry Ancient Clan's growth rings, he couldn't find anything comparable to this tree.
This tree stretched for tens of thousands of miles and had countless caves on its surface. Even Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness could not sweep deeper into these tree holes.
The annual ring was a transparent tree, and one's divine sense couldn't penetrate it. This tree was withered. To be exact, this tree was already dead. Regardless of whether it was the branches or the trunk, they were all emitting a deathly aura and grey aura. There was not the slightest hint of green and vitality.
"I heard that the location of this scorched tree was originally a temple, and the scorched tree was just a tree behind the temple. Later, the scorched tree grew bigger and bigger and finally swallowed up the temple. However, the Scorched Tree did not continue to grow because its roots were contaminated by the monsters in the Underground Abyss and eventually withered. There are countless tree holes around this scorched tree, and we can enter all of them. "Qianqian looked at the huge ancient tree in front of her and sighed.
Ning Cheng replied, "Are these tree holes the entrance to the underground abyss?"
Qianqian nodded, "Yes, in the beginning, we all entered the trial from here."
After a pause, Qianqian hesitated before speaking, "That Yuanji said that when the monsters in the underground abyss erupted, the Grand Change Realm's powerhouses sealed off the deeper parts of the underground abyss. I don't see anyone nearby, and I don't know if we will be stopped if we go in. "
Although Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness couldn't penetrate deeper, he could clearly see that these tree holes were indeed intertwined with each other. Each tree hole looked like a twisted staircase that extended deep into the ground. Further down, Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness couldn't penetrate any deeper.
"Come on, let's go in first. There are no restrictions on the outside, so we should be able to go in. " After Ning Cheng confirmed that there wasn't too much danger, he greeted Qianqian and took the initiative to walk towards the giant tree. He had also heard Yuanji's words. Regardless of whether there were restrictions or not, Ning Cheng intended to go in and have a look.
As Ning Cheng said, he and Qianqian did not encounter any obstacles and easily entered one of the tree holes.
A gloomy aura came over, which made Ning Cheng a little uncomfortable. He had been to the Underworld and felt the Yin Qi aura of the Underworld. However, the Yin Qi in the Underworld was completely different from the gloomy Yin Qi here.
The stairs in the tree hole seemed endless, and from these irregular stairs, Ning Cheng could see that these stairs were slowly formed by people who came later. Around these stairs were intertwined thick tree roots, which looked like the internal blood vessels of the human body.
"Originally, as soon as we entered this place, there were already demonic creatures. Now that we've been walking for so long, no demonic creatures have come out. I don't know if it's because a powerhouse sealed the place below." Qianqian spoke to Ning Cheng with a sound transmission.
"En." Ning Cheng responded casually. His voice wasn't loud, but under this tree hole, it felt as if it had been amplified a hundred times, and the echoes were few and far between.
Qianqian quickly spoke up, "This is still under the tree roots. Once there is no echo, it means that we have already entered the range of the underground abyss. We can only walk slowly in this place. If we walk too fast, we might end up torn apart by tiny spacial cracks. "
"There are spacial cracks under these tree roots?" Ning Cheng asked in amazement. A tree with a spacial crack under it, what kind of tree was it?
Qianqian gave an 'en' sound, "Yes, although the magic crystals of the underground demonic creatures are precious, those spacial cracks are also very powerful. If one is not careful, one can fall under it and become nutrients for the scorched tree. Many people who came here never went out again. It was also a stroke of luck that I survived that time. "
Hearing about becoming nutrients for the tree, Ning Cheng's heart moved slightly. However, he didn't feel any vitality from this tree. If he felt the vitality of this tree, he would have suspected that those spacial cracks were generated by this tree.
After a few hours, a cobweb-like ripple appeared in front of Ning Cheng and Qianqian. Ning Cheng then stopped.
"Through this spacial ripple, we will enter the range of the underground abyss. This spacial ripple is similar to a teleportation array. It doesn't cause any harm, and when you come back, it won't move. It looks like Yuanji lied to us. This place isn't sealed. "Qianqian pointed to the cobweb-like spacial ripple in front of them.
She didn't say a word. Since it wasn't sealed, why didn't they see anyone until now?
Ning Cheng nodded, "I understand. It turns out that the underground abyss is another world, not the Grand Change Realm at all. It's just adjacent to the Grand Change Realm. This cobweb should be a boundary barrier. "
To be honest, this was the first time Ning Cheng had seen such a thin boundary barrier. Generally, if he wanted to go from one world to another, he would find himself separated by an endless void. If he was not careful, he would get lost in the void.
Hearing Ning Cheng's words, Qianqian spoke up, "Many people think that the underground abyss isn't the Grand Change Realm. I also think so. It's just that I always feel that the two worlds are separated by something a bit strange."
Ning Cheng showed a slight smile, "It's normal. Let's go in and talk."
Ning Cheng passed through this spacial ripple, and it felt like a breeze blowing through him. He didn't feel any spacial teleportation or collapse.
No wonder Qianqian felt that this place didn't feel like two worlds. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept back, but no matter how much his spiritual consciousness penetrated, it couldn't pass through the spacial ripple.
"This is already within the scope of the underground abyss. When I came here before, there were people everywhere. I didn't expect that we wouldn't meet a single person until now. "Qianqian said with a sigh.
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept out, but there wasn't any light around. Everything under his feet was black, and it felt like a boulder. Occasionally, some of the bones emitted a fluorescent light, making people feel the darkness here. The gloomy aura grew even stronger. Just as Qianqian said, within the range of his spiritual consciousness, he didn't see a single living person, nor a single demonic creature.
"Can you remember the way?" Ning Cheng asked Qianqian beside him.
Qianqian gave an 'en' sound, "I remember. I've been to this underground abyss many times. Big Brother Ning, follow me."
After Qianqian finished, she identified a direction and quickly moved forward. After entering this place, Qianqian seemed to become even more excited and started moving faster and faster.
Ning Cheng's cultivation was much higher than Qianqian's. Therefore, no matter how fast Qianqian moved, it wouldn't affect him.
After Qianqian walked for more than half an hour, Ning Cheng's Void Cold Light Spear suddenly appeared in his hand. At the same time, he raised his hand and fired a shot at Qianqian's side.
A shrill scream rang out, and a white crystal with a hint of grey fell to the ground.
"Demonic creature?" Qianqian stopped and spoke up in shame, "Big Brother Ning, my cultivation has greatly decreased, and I was anxious about Big Sister Xi 'er. I didn't even notice the demonic creature's sneak attack ….."
Ning Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Qianqian's words. He reached out and grabbed the white crystal with a hint of grey from the ground and asked, "Qianqian, is this a demonic crystal?"
Qianqian nodded, "Well, this is a demonic crystal. This demonic crystal contains all kinds of clear aura of the laws of heaven and earth. It's most suitable for cultivators to comprehend the Dao Charm."
Ning Cheng frowned slightly, "But this demonic crystal isn't pure. I can feel a lot of messy aura in it. It's not suitable for cultivation."
Qianqian shook her head, "I don't know what's going on. The demonic crystals that appeared in the past were very pure. These demonic crystals are crystal clear, and apart from the aura of the laws of heaven and earth, they don't have any impurities. "
"Is the body of a demonic creature made up of all kinds of Dao Charm? Apart from the demonic crystal, does it have any substance? " Ning Cheng asked again. He had seen a dark shadow sneak attack Qianqian just now. After he killed the dark shadow, only this demonic crystal remained.
Qianqian spoke up with certainty, "No, demonic creatures are definitely not made up of Dao Charm. Although their demonic crystals contain the Dao Charm Laws of heaven and earth, I don't know what they are made up of. As for what they are made of, I don't know either. I only know that some very powerful monsters have physical bodies. "
As soon as Qianqian spoke up to here, she felt a burst of fluctuations in front of her. The space around her and Ning Cheng also began to distort.
"Big Brother Ning, the reason why I could see Big Sister Xi 'er last time was because of the spatial fluctuations of this underground abyss that swept me away." Not only did Qianqian not panic, but she also sped up her speech.
