Chapter 1207: Return to the Abyss
Liu Ming’s Divine Thought swept and found that most of the tunnels in front had collapsed. Even the remaining tunnels were covered with dust and silt.
“This used to be a deep-sea mine. I have something to confirm here.” After Liu Ming said something, he took out a moonstone and immediately illuminated the entire cave.
Qian Rupin nodded. Although she was a little curious as to why Liu Ming knew about this place, she didn’t ask any further questions.
Although the underground mines have changed a lot compared to a hundred years ago, with Liu Ming’s huge Divine Thought today, he could still shuttle in the tunnels with familiarity. Qian Rupin was close behind him.
Suddenly, Liu Ming stopped in a tunnel, looked around and showed a strange face.
“What’s wrong?” Qian Rupin also stopped and asked.
Liu Ming didn’t speak. He just waved his hand and released a black air, which turned into a big hand and dug into the stone wall of the tunnel in front.
Shuash, a large piece of stone was dug out from the stone wall. A fist-sized blue crystal stone was exposed out of it.
“What a beautiful stone. Eh, it seems to be a water mystic stone.” Qian Rupin picked up the blue crystal stone and said in surprise.
Liu Ming nodded with a strange look on his face.
According to his Divine Thought, there were still a lot of crystals that could be mined in the depths of the mine, but judging from the situation in the cave, it had been abandoned for no less than a hundred years. He didn’t know why Siren King sealed up the mineral vein.
He shook his head to put the thought behind him.
“Let’s go.” Liu Ming took Qian Rupin and continued to fly deep into the mine.
Half an hour later, they came to a mine that led directly to the depths of the ground, perhaps because it was deep beneath the ground, there was a faint yin qi lingering here.
“I didn’t expect that the enchantment is still here.” Liu Ming glanced around, fixed his gaze on a stone wall and murmured.
Qian Rupin heard Liu Ming’s words and looked toward the stone wall, but unfortunately with her eyesight, she couldn’t see anything.
Liu Ming pondered for a moment, then he shook his head and waved his hand. A purple sword light shot out and slashed at the stone wall.
There was a layer of white light on the stone wall, but it was easily shattered into pieces by the Bitter Wheel Sword. A big hole was cut out in an instant.
A gray mist filled the entrance of the cave, revealing a dark tunnel with no end in sight.
The mist gradually floated out of it, and the yin qi in the tunnel became more intense. Qian Rupin felt a tingling pain on his skin. She snorted softly and took a small step back.
“The end of this place is an abyss. I’m going to investigate some things in it. Put this on, then you won’t be hurt by the evil qi here.” As Liu Ming said, he took out the Morph Cloak and gave it to Qian Rupin.
Putting on the cloak, Qian Rupin really couldn’t feel the slightest yin qi. She couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief.
In the following time, the two flew along the tunnel towards the depths. After 15 minutes, they came to an abnormally cold underground lake.
Near the lake, the pale golden seal enchantment set by Siren King still existed. It seemed to be stronger. It could be that Siren King had strengthened it later.
“Ruping, step back a little bit.” Liu Ming waved one hand, and the Bitter Wheel Sword turned into a long rainbow and shot out, hovering in front of him.
Qian Rupin obediently stood behind Liu Ming.
Liu Ming struck out sword symbols with both hands, and the Bitter Wheel Sword in front of him burst into purple light, turning into a giant lightning sword with a size of 90 meters.
Following Liu Ming’s sword symbol, the giant purple sword hit the s.p.a.ce above the lake with an unstoppable momentum.
With a loud noise, the s.p.a.ce suddenly distorted and blurred. A silver-gray light curtain emerged.
Schla!
The giant purple sword swiped lightly from top to bottom, and the few enchantments on the silver light curtain were slashed apart, revealing a black s.p.a.ce fissure.
“Go!”
Liu Ming put away the Bitter Wheel Sword with 1 hand, grabbed Qian Rupin with the other hand, and flew into the s.p.a.ce fissure.
They came to a gray and desolate world.
“Is this the abyss that Brother Ming you just mentioned?” Qian Rupin looked around curiously. Anyway, with Liu Ming by her side, there was no need to worry about danger.
“This is not a safe place. If I’m not mistaken, the s.p.a.ce here should be close to the deepest underworld. Also, don’t take off your cloak here, the gray evil qi here has a lot of erosion on the low rank cultivator.” Liu Ming reminded.
Qian Rupin was taken aback and nodded hastily.
“Brother Ming, what are we doing here?” Qian Rupin asked after thinking for a while.
“You’ll find out after a while.” As Liu Ming said, he led Qian Rupin in one direction.
The abyss had not changed much in recent years. Soon, they encountered a group of evil beasts, but with Liu Ming’s current cultivation level, he could easily wipe them off.
An hour later, they came to a collapsed black mountain. Before the mountain, there was a crumbling stone forest, which was the place where the head of the giant demon was sealed.
Coming here again, Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, and he sighed with reminiscence.
Then he looked toward the s.p.a.ce above the stone forest. There was only a gray sky above, and there was no abnormality in the s.p.a.ce.
The s.p.a.ce nodes that used to be here had completely disappeared.
Although he had already guessed this would be the case, Liu Ming still couldn’t help showing a hint of disappointment on his face.
He came all the way here not to enjoy the scenery, but to find a way to return to the Middle Sky Continent. It seemed that the original method was no longer feasible.
Seeing Liu Ming’s disappointed expression, Qian Rupin obediently didn’t say anything.
Liu Ming sighed, landed to the ground, glanced at Qian Rupin and told the event of how he was teleported to the Middle Sky Continent from here.
It was the first time Qian Rupin heard of this kind of adventure. While being astonished, there was a hint of worry on her face.
“Does Brother Ming want to go back to Middle Sky Continent?” Qian Rupin asked.
“en, Sea Region’s training resources are too scarce. I will hit the bottleneck of Celestial State soon, so I have to find a way to get back.” Liu Ming said without any concealment.
As for the h.e.l.lish-Insect invasion, Liu Ming was actually not too worried. As the origin of the human race, the Middle Sky Continent had unfathomable strength. It wouldn’t be destroyed by the h.e.l.lish-Insects easily when Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect itself couldn’t cross the plane.
“If that’s the case, I’ll go there with you!” Qian Rupin said firmly after being silent for a moment.
Liu Ming’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.
Qian Rupin had such attainments in array, it was indeed a pity to stay in the Sea Region.
“Brother Ming, we made a bet before that if I can break the Sea Emperor Palace’s Nine True Nirvana Dragon Array, you have to promise me one condition. If you promise to take me to the Middle Sky Continent, I will take it as you fulfill the agreement.” Seeing the expression on Liu Ming’s face, Qian Rupin pouted and said while pulling Liu Ming’s clothes.
“Okay, it seems that I have to agree.” Liu Ming saw Qian Rupin’s cute appearance and wanted to rub her head like before, but when he stretched out his hand, he realized that she was already a pretty girl who was slightly shorter than him. He retracted his arms without letting her notice.
“That’s great, I knew Brother Ming treats me the best.” Qian Rupin was overjoyed. She grabbed Liu Ming’s wrist that was about to retract and said.
Liu Ming forced a cough, withdrew his hand and let Qian Rupin stand behind him. He took out the white jade bottle containing Zong Yan’s soul.
Now that the s.p.a.ce node here had disappeared, if he wanted to go back to the Middle Sky Continent, he could only ask the Iron Beastkin who came from there.
He took off the talisman on the bottle, launched a symbol and Iron Beastkin Zong Yan’s soul in a black air came out.
Zong Yan’s soul first nodded at Liu Ming to flatter him, then he glanced around with a surprised look.
“You also know this place?” Although Zong Yan’s expression only changed for a moment, Liu Ming still noticed it and asked calmly.
“Yes, that dragon brought me here once before.” Zong Yan was shocked and said hastily.
“These things don’t matter. I have something to ask you. As the Celestial State beastkin in the Middle Sky Continent’s southern wilderness, why did you end up like this now?” Liu Ming asked with twinkling eyes.
“It’s a long story. After Sir took the Sky Beastkin’s blood essence from the southern wilderness, the people of the Sky Beastkin Valley suddenly came to the southern wilderness. After a fight, my body was destroyed and only my soul escaped. That dragon even took a few of my treasures. This is why I’m in this current state.” Zong Yan said with some desolation.
“Then why did you come to the Sea Region again?” Liu Ming asked blankly.
“I discovered an ancient teleportation array in the depths of the southern wilderness a long time ago. I didn’t pay attention to it at the time. Later, under the threat of the dragon, I tried it. I didn’t expect this teleportation array to reach this area.” Zong Yan hastily replied after hearing Liu Ming’s unkind tone.
“Teleportation array! Where is it?” Liu Ming was overjoyed. He hurriedly asked.
“Well, I can tell sir about it, but sir have to make a heart demon oath to spare my life after that. What do you think?” Zong Yan hesitated for a moment, then he said as if negotiating.
“Oh, are you still qualified to negotiate with me now? If I use soul searching, I can also know these things. Do you want to try…” Liu Ming sneered and did not continue.
