After receiving information about Luo Li's current location from Mandala with Lu Bai's assistance, the Red Flame Old Immortal hurried off to find her.
There was no helping it. There was not much time left before the Sacred Ancient Abyss opened. If he missed this opportunity, then he would have to wait many more years for the next one.
As for Lu Bai himself, he instructed Mandala to return to the Skylaw Continent and properly comprehend the gains from this continental baptism. He then directly headed toward the Sacred Abyss Continent located in the extreme western region together with Chu Xiong and She Ming.
The Sacred Abyss Continent was located in the extreme western region of the Great Thousand World. In a certain sense, it was not truly a continent, but rather a unique space evolved from a Lower Plane that could connect to the Great Thousand World.
During the ancient era, this Sacred Abyss Continent had been one of the battlefields where the Great Thousand World fought the Feind Evil Races in a decisive war.
The distance between the Western Heaven Continent and the Sacred Abyss Continent could not be considered far, yet it still took Lu Bai's group nearly a month to arrive. As for Mu Chen and the others who might arrive later, although they had a Heaven Sovereign such as the Red Flame Old Immortal accompanying them, it would probably still take no less than two months to reach this place.
"So this is the Sacred Abyss Continent?"
Upon a barren mountain peak, Chu Xiong and She Ming gazed into the distance.
Within the range of their vision, the sky was dim, and the entire world seemed trapped within an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Between heaven and earth, even the spiritual energy had become somewhat sluggish, nowhere near as active as within the Great Thousand World. In such a place, absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth was clearly several times more difficult than within the Great Thousand World.
"This is far more terrifying than Abyss Continent!" Even Demon Slayers like She Ming who had spent years on Abyss Continent could not help but feel inwardly shocked upon sensing the state of the Sacred Abyss Continent.
Especially within the distant heavens and earth, crimson lightning constantly flashed wildly from time to time, crackling as it ravaged the land.
The violent fluctuations contained within those crimson lightning bolts caused even Earth Sovereigns like them to feel their hearts tremble.
Lu Bai likewise frowned while observing this ever changing world.
In his eyes, this continent seemed to be in an extremely violent state, with danger filling every corner.
"Be careful from now on. This is merely the outer region of the Sacred Abyss Continent."
"As for the Sacred Ancient Abyss, it lies at the very center of the continent! The space there has already shattered and is enveloped by temporal storms. We must wait until the temporal storms weaken before requesting someone to send us inside."
Hearing Lu Bai's reminder, Chu Xiong and the others both nodded.
At this moment, the two felt extremely fortunate to have come together with Lu Bai. Otherwise, relying solely on their own strength, they absolutely would not dare survive within such a dangerous place.
To continue their journey, Lu Bai directly summoned his Innate Five Spirits Plate. Five colored swept up the two men, instantly transforming into a streak of light that passed through the regions filled with crimson lightning and headed toward Sacred Abyss City, the largest city within the depths of the Sacred Abyss Continent.
Two hours later, at the end of the trio's vision, the outline of an enormous city gradually appeared.
Within the dim world, that city resembled an ancient ferocious beast crouching upon the earth, emitting an indescribable oppressive aura.
As they drew closer, Lu Bai also saw that an enormous light barrier beyond description enveloped the city. That light barrier emitted an extremely terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation.
"Another Grandmaster level spiritual Array!"
It had to be said that existences such as the Great Thousand Palace were truly terrifying. Every one of the dozens of Great Thousand Tower branches possessed at least one Grandmaster spiritual Array guarding it. Maintaining these Arrays for tens of thousands of years meant that the consumed materials alone formed an astronomical figure.
Strictly speaking, the current Lu Bai could also be considered a Spiritual Array Ancestor. Added with his highest level Heart Eye capable of seeing through all Arrays, he could perceive many things invisible to ordinary people.
However, the Arrays guarding these Great Thousand Tower branches were mainly used for identifying members of the Feind Races, making them of little use to Lu Bai, so he had no intention of studying them.
Still, Lu Bai was very interested in the person who had arranged these Arrays. He wondered whether he would have the opportunity to meet such a person in the future.
Passing through the Array and entering Sacred Abyss City, Chu Xiong and She Ming immediately felt much more at ease.
After all, they had served as Demon Slayers for many years and were very familiar with everything related to the Great Thousand Tower. Therefore, after entering the city, the three directly headed toward the Great Thousand Tower of the Sacred Abyss Continent with practiced ease.
Although the location differed, the Great Thousand Tower of the Sacred Abyss Continent was arranged similarly to the one on Abyss Continent.
After entering the Great Thousand Tower, Lu Bai's group headed directly toward the counter.
At the counter lay a gray robed old man lazily sprawled out. His sleepy appearance made it seem as though he could never remain fully awake no matter the time.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bai smiled inwardly, knowing this should be the Great Thousand Tower manager Wan Feng mentioned by Senior Su Mei. Their entry into the Sacred Ancient Abyss would still require this senior's assistance.
Naturally, Lu Bai did not immediately take out the token Su Mei had given him. Instead, together with Chu Xiong and the others, he first produced his Demon Slayer token.
The three placed their tokens upon the counter and had just prepared to greet him with cupped fists when the old man, who originally appeared sleepy eyed, suddenly revealed a look of surprise. With a wave of his hand, Lu Bai's Demon Slayer token appeared within his hand.
"Oh? High Level Demon Slayer?"
Although the old man's voice was not loud, the bustling Great Thousand Tower instantly fell silent.
After all, High Level Demon Slayers were not common figures. Even within Sacred Abyss City, they were rare existences. Moreover, anyone capable of becoming a High Level Demon Slayer possessed extremely high status within the Great Thousand Palace.
All those gazes turned toward Lu Bai's group of three, only to discover they were unfamiliar strangers no one recognized. This immediately caused many people's hearts to stir as they thought of the soon to open Sacred Ancient Abyss.
"Hehe, I never expected this Sacred Ancient Abyss opening to attract quite a few impressive little fellows." The old man chuckled before tossing the Demon Slayer token back to Lu Bai.
The reason he said this was because there were already three High Level Demon Slayers present upon the Sacred Abyss Continent, and Lu Bai was the fourth! Such a situation was extremely rare even during previous explorations of the Sacred Ancient Abyss.
"Judging by the looks of you three, you should also be here for the Sacred Ancient Abyss, right? Have you found someone to send you inside yet? If not, seeing that your brat's Demon Slayer points are still quite plentiful, this old man could personally send you in..."
Hearing this, Lu Bai became curious and could not help asking, "Then how many Demon Slayer points would Senior require?"
"One thousand!"
How should it be put? This number was neither especially high nor especially low.
It was high because within the Great Thousand Tower treasury, even a High Rank Saint Artifact only cost eight or nine hundred points. One thousand Demon Slayer points was roughly enough to exchange for a Great Perfection Divine Ability.
But it was also not much because for a Heaven Sovereign expert, whether High Rank Saint Artifacts or Great Perfection Divine Abilities, their value was not particularly high.
After all, once one reached the threshold of Peerless Saint Artifacts, the gap between them became enormous.
For example, the Heavenly Wood Divine Essence Lu Bai had previously exchanged for, which was merely equivalent to a quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact, had already cost 2500 Demon Slayer points!
Being able to invite a Heaven Sovereign expert to make a move once for one thousand Demon Slayer points was honestly already very affordable. Most likely, this Manager Wan Feng only said this because he found Lu Bai pleasing to the eye.
"Well then, little fellow, do you want to consider it?" the old man asked with a cheerful smile.
Seeing this, Lu Bai also smiled and flipped his hand, taking out the token Senior Su Mei had given him.
"Hehe, before coming here, I received Senior Su Mei's token from the Abyss Continent branch of the Great Thousand Tower. She told me to pay a visit to Manager Wan Feng. Might Senior be willing to introduce me?"
Looking at the familiar token in Lu Bai's hand, the old man's smile stiffened. He then waved his hand and drew the token into his palm.
After confirming that the token truly belonged to Su Mei, the old man could not help rolling his eyes at Lu Bai irritably.
"You little brat, are you deliberately making a fool out of this old man?"
Naturally, Lu Bai immediately waved his hands in denial. "I would not dare, I would not dare. Why would Senior say such a thing?"
Seeing Lu Bai's frightened appearance, the old man curled his lips. Although his instincts told him this brat had definitely done it on purpose, he had no evidence.
"Enough already. Stop putting on that act in front of this old man."
"This old man is the Wan Feng you were looking for. I will personally send you into the Sacred Ancient Abyss later. Come find me again when the time arrives. Now hurry up and scram. This old man does not want to see a sly little ghost like you."
Lu Bai chuckled, then respectfully saluted Wan Feng before heading off to find a place to stay within the city.
Their group had arrived relatively early, and there were still several days before the Sacred Ancient Abyss opened. During the coming days, more and more people would certainly arrive at Sacred Abyss City!
Night gradually descended like a curtain over the enormous Sacred Abyss City.
However, as the liveliest city on the Sacred Abyss Continent, the city remained brilliantly illuminated even deep into the night.
The gigantic spiritual Array above the city turned this place into one of the few safe locations upon this incomparably dangerous continent. Only after entering this city could the many adventurers finally relax their tightly wound nerves.
Within a quiet courtyard in the city, Lu Bai sat silently in meditation with his eyes closed, continuing to perfect his new Array.
This Grand Grandmaster spiritual Array entirely created by himself had been named by Lu Bai the Heavenly River Purification World Array!
Within the Array, not only was there a starry river formed from the power of the Five Elements Origin, there were also nine Purification World Stellar Stars suspended above the river.
Anyone entering this Array below the Heaven Sovereign realm would lose all cultivation within a single breath. Their physical body would also be sealed by the power of the Five Elements Seal. It could be said that they would instantly fall from the peak into the mortal world.
As for Heaven Sovereign experts, if they could not break the Array, then within merely three to five days, ninety percent of their combat power would be stripped away. Even their incomparably powerful Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Bodies would not escape this fate.
Of course, this Array could presently only deal with experts who had just stepped into the Spirit Grade Heaven Sovereign realm. If Lu Bai's cultivation improved further in the future, then the Array's power might also increase.
The following days indeed unfolded just as Lu Bai had predicted. Sacred Abyss City became increasingly lively, and teams from distant super forces gradually began arriving one after another.
The Sacred Ancient Abyss was one of the decisive battlefields between the Great Thousand World and the Feind Races during ancient times. Too many peak experts had fallen there, so the value contained within naturally tempted even the various super forces.
Had it not been for their fear of the temporal storms within the Sacred Ancient Abyss, even the Heaven Sovereigns of those super forces would probably have been unable to resist personally making a move.
After all, even Heaven Sovereigns would become greedy when faced with the temptation of Peerless Divine Abilities.
Although Heaven Sovereigns could not personally enter, the various super forces still dispatched extremely powerful teams. Clearly, they hoped to try their luck at obtaining inheritances and opportunities within the Sacred Ancient Abyss.
"Brother Lu, today several more super force teams arrived. I even saw a few familiar faces in the Great Thousand Tower..."
After returning from the Great Thousand Tower, Chu Xiong and She Ming smiled as they spoke to Lu Bai.
"Oh? Which forces arrived this time?"
There was no need to ask about the familiar faces. They were definitely Mu Chen, Luo Li, and the others who had arrived at the Great Thousand Tower under the Red Flame Old Immortal's guidance.
Hearing this, Chu Xiong grinned. "The forces that arrived today are quite extraordinary. They even gave us a wonderful show to watch."
Beside him, She Ming could not help rolling his eyes at the man. "Why are you acting mysterious? This morning, Chu Xiong and I saw the Red Flame Old Immortal. Beside him were two women and one man..."
"One of the man and women looked extremely young. The woman in particular possessed peerless beauty. She is the most beautiful woman I have seen in my entire life! So I guessed she should be the Luo Li who obtained the Luo God inheritance."
Chu Xiong immediately nodded from the side, clearly also astonished by Luo Li's appearance.
"As for the other man, he was a robust giant. He looked no weaker than me, Old Xiong, and his strength had already reached the Half Step Great Perfection realm. Even I have no confidence when facing him."
Lu Bai raised his brows slightly. The man Chu Xiong mentioned should be the fellow named Long Xiang.
However, from the two men's words, it seemed Ling Xi had not come together with them.
"Besides them, the Wen Clan of the Northern Region also arrived. Even the Buddha Ancient Clan of the Five Ancient Clans has come!" When speaking of the latter, Chu Xiong's tone unconsciously carried some amazement, clearly shocked by the Buddha Ancient Clan's lineup this time.
"Hehe, speaking of the Buddha Ancient Clan, Brother Lu, you would never imagine it. That young man named Mu Chen who was together with Luo Li actually has ties with the Buddha Ancient Clan..."
Changing the subject, Chu Xiong immediately revealed a gossip filled grin as he recounted the astonishing information he had just heard.
Unfortunately, before he could finish, Lu Bai directly interrupted him. "I already know about this. Mu Chen's mother is an expert of the Buddha Ancient Clan. However, because his father came from an ordinary background, Mu Chen has now been labeled by the Buddha Ancient Clan as a 'sinful son.'"
Chu Xiong froze for a moment before immediately revealing an expression as though he had swallowed something unpleasant.
Damn it, having such juicy gossip interrupted midway really felt terrible.
