In reality.
The corpse of the Shadow Demon Snake was indeed valuable …
But with only one item, there was no need to report it to the higher-ups. Xu Ting's real purpose was to contact his friend!
"Bad news? What's bad?"
Situ Jin sounded confused. "Could it be that there's a riot in the Fallen Demon Abyss?"
The Fallen Demon Abyss was in an active period. Every once in a while, there would be a riot.
When a riot occurred, countless terrifying beings would come out from the depths of the Fallen Demon Abyss. If they were not suppressed and destroyed, there would be an unimaginable disaster.
But at the same time …
Every time there was a riot, there would be ancient treasures or even secret manuals that would spew out from the Fallen Demon Abyss, creating an immortal legend!
Therefore, every rebellion is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity!
Xu Ting and Situ Jin were both old and had reached the end of their path of cultivation.
For the rest of their lives, the only thought the two of them had was to reach a higher realm.
Whether it was joining the Medicine God Palace or guarding the Fallen Demon Abyss, it was all for this goal!
"Of course it's not a riot."
Xu Ting shook his head anxiously, his expression serious. "Do you know what that Elder Chen brought out when he said he wanted to exchange treasures for contribution points?"
Yawning lazily, Situ Jin said in a bored tone, "That's right.
"That kid just came from the Mother Planet. What could he bring out?"
"He brought out the corpse of a Shadow Demon Snake!"
Xu Ting enunciated each word with all his might.
Situ Jin paused, then shook his head in amusement. "It's just a Shadow Demon Snake. At most, it's worth a hundred thousand contribution points. It's not enough to surprise you … wait, what did you say?!"
Halfway through his sentence, Situ Jin's smile suddenly turned into horror.
He finally realized that Xu Ting was talking about … a Shadow Demon Snake!
"On the way here, we encountered a Shadow Demon Snake. Thanks to Elder Chen's help, we were able to survive."
Qiu Hanmeng's words from not long ago rang in his ears.
At that time, they had thought that Chen Xiao was suffering because he wanted to save face.
After all, he had become an elder of the Glory Sect at such a young age. He was bound to have some pride. Yet, he needed someone to protect him even when he was crossing the gray fog. How could he let that go?
"I thought … he … he was …"
The corner of Situ Jin's mouth twitched, and his mind went blank.
Now, reality had given them … a resounding slap in the face!
"The battle we sensed earlier might have been Elder Chen hunting the Shadow Demonic Snake!"
Xu Ting muttered absentmindedly. Both of them fell into silence at the same time.
This conjecture was a little too shocking. Under normal circumstances, even if one was half a step into the Yuan Dan Pill realm, there was only a sliver of a possibility.
"Old Xu, this is a serious matter. It's best to report it immediately!"
Suddenly, Situ Jin thought of something and said solemnly.
The mission given by the Medicine God Palace was to monitor Chen Xiao's movements and bury him in the Fallen Devil Abyss if possible.
"Situ, wait a moment."
However, at that moment, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on Xu Ting's face.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "In your opinion, if we report this, how many rewards will we receive?"
"The right to guard the Fallen Devil Abyss will be extended for another month?" Situ Jin asked hesitantly.
"What if we kill this lad?"
"At most, it will be extended for another half a year. Perhaps we will be rewarded with some resources, but it is impossible to stay here any longer."
"Then, in less than a year, what are our chances of achieving a breakthrough here?"
At Xu Ting's words, Situ Jin finally understood.
The two of them had joined the Medicine God Palace relatively late, and their cultivation potential had basically been exhausted.
Unless they made a great contribution, they would have reached the end of their lives. It was almost impossible for them to achieve a breakthrough and extend their lives.
The opportunities in the Fallen Devil Abyss were indeed tempting.
However, not all fortuitous encounters could extend one's lifespan, and not all fortuitous encounters could be snatched by them!
"Old Xu, you can't be thinking of …"
At that moment.
Situ Jin looked at Xu Ting with an indescribable shock in his eyes.
"Instead of being stuck in a deadlock, I might as well give it my all!"
Xu Ting took a deep breath. "And this Elder Chen's appearance might be the best opportunity!"
…
On the other side.
After confirming that Chen Xiao was fine, Qiu Hanmeng left in a hurry.
The sudden appearance of a demonic creature like the Shadow Demon Snake at the outskirts of the Fallen Devil Abyss made her smell something unusual.
Therefore, after confirming that Chen Xiao was fine, Qiu Hanmeng left immediately to report this matter to the Sect Leader.
"The Demon Race …"
Inside the house, Chen Xiao sat cross-legged with a solemn expression.
The Heaven Suppressing Palace's Hall Spirit also appeared not far away.
"It seems that the name Fallen Devil Abyss has a deeper meaning."
The Temple Spirit crossed his arms in front of his chest and sighed meaningfully.
Chen Xiao nodded in agreement. "In fact, the spatial structure of the Fallen Devil Abyss reminds me of a place …"
In his mind, the memories of his past life surged, and images appeared one after another.
"There are nine heavens and ten earths. Outside the nine heavens and ten earths, there is a mysterious place called …"
"The Ultimate Ruins!"
The Sky Suppressing Palace's Hall Spirit shuddered when he heard the words' Ultimate Ruins'.
His eyes were filled with deep shock.
"Kid Chen, don't tell me you're talking about … the ancient ruins, known as the end of the worlds … the Ultimate Ruins battlefield?"
"It seems that the ancient Earth had also come into contact with the Ultimate Ruins."
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, not surprised.
After all, the Ultimate Ruins was known as the end of the worlds. Almost every expert's final destination was to fight in the Ultimate Ruins!
The ancient Earth was prosperous, so they naturally had the right to come into contact with it.
"The Ultimate Ruins are endless and mysterious. Even Supremes would find it difficult to reach the end." Chen Xiao said in a deep voice. "Moreover, the entrance to the Ultimate Ruins can be found almost anywhere in the universe."
Of course, not all entrances were known to the public.
Not all entrances could allow one to safely step into the Sinkhole's battlefield.
"If the Fallen Devil Abyss is also an entrance to the Ultimate Ruins, then I have a chance to reach the Shenwu Continent through the Ultimate Ruins battlefield!"
Chen Xiao's expression was filled with anticipation.
…
"Two pieces of trash!"
At the same time, in the Medicine God Palace of the Cloud Sea Sacred Sect.
An angry rebuke sounded in their ears, making Yue Baoyun and Xie Yifan blush. They wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Patriarch, please forgive us!" The two hurriedly begged for mercy.
After a while, the voice from before sounded again.
"Fine, I'll give you a talisman first. As long as you don't use your full strength, it will be able to conceal your auras."
Daoist Hei Yu's voice seemed to be emotionless.
"That should be enough for the ceremony."
