Su Changyu had something else to say.
Exploring opportunities is not without risks. If they all went together and were completely wiped out, wouldn't the inheritance of the Revival Immortals be severed? This was Xiao Heng's greatest concern.
However, Su Changyu also realized that, at present, apart from Xiao Heng, no one else present regarded the Revival Immortals' legacy with much importance. At the very least, compared to their own cultivation, the so-called Revival Immortals' inheritance was barely worth mentioning. Xiao Heng was probably well aware of this fact himself.
Yet, he held his own principles and didn't force them upon others, so he found it difficult to state his concerns directly. Although Su Changyu's eyes remained closed, he could perceive the thoughts of everyone present.
He then volunteered a solution: "How about this: Xiao Heng, Little Sister, and Zhang Haobo, you three go together to Cangwu Abyss. As for me, I'll stay here." Before Su Xiaomei could object, he continued to explain, "The cultivation method I practice is unique. The so-called opportunities aren't of much use to me, so you don't need to worry about me."
Hearing this, Xiao Heng cast a grateful glance at Su Changyu. Su Xiaomei, however, pouted and turned her head away, refusing to look at Su Changyu. Nevertheless, Little Sister trusted Su Changyu's words implicitly. With his decision, the matter was practically settled.
"Then won't we have an extra Minor Medicine King Cauldron? Are we really going to sell it, as the senior suggested?" Zhang Haobo asked with a frown.
"No," Su Changyu denied, shaking his head. "Possessing the Minor Medicine King Cauldron already makes one a target for ill intentions. It would be unwise to expose our knowledge of the True Medicine King Cauldron for a small profit. It's better to keep it and, at a crucial moment, throw it out as bait to distract our enemies."
Xiao Heng also agreed with Su Changyu's suggestion. "It's a bit of a pity, but it's the safest approach."
"Whatever! You guys decide!" Su Xiaomei snorted, no longer objecting. She then grabbed Han Wuyou and went outside to play.
"The journey to Cangwu Abyss is long. We aren't cultivators of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, so we can't use their teleportation arrays," Xiao Heng said, stroking his chin with a frown. "Flying there directly would be too time-consuming, and who knows what accidents might happen along the way. We need to find a good method…"
"Um…" Zhang Haobo hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.
"What is it?" Xiao Heng looked at Zhang Haobo with some surprise.
"Perhaps we can also use the teleportation arrays," Zhang Haobo explained. "As you know, during our previous adventure in Jiushan State, we became acquainted with Senior Shuofeng. And during our trip to Chaoyuan Sect, we fought our way out of a sea of corpses together. Our relationship is quite close. Before we parted ways, Senior Shuofeng invited us to join the Myriad Immortals Alliance, though we politely declined. However, he understood and left a jade token with Little Sister. With that jade token, using the teleportation arrays shouldn't be a problem for us."
Hearing this, Xiao Heng nodded and said, "That would be perfect." He had thought Zhang Haobo's earlier hesitation was because Shuofeng was a Myriad Immortals Alliance cultivator. Xiao Heng then said earnestly, "I'm not inflexible. Our enemy is the Myriad Immortals Alliance, not every individual within it. If we can befriend Myriad Immortals Alliance cultivators and dismantle them from within, it would be entirely beneficial. Why would I object? I'll go talk to Little Sister about it right away." With that, Xiao Heng left to find Su Xiaomei.
Zhang Haobo watched Xiao Heng's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, is there something going on between Little Sister and Shuofeng?" Su Changyu, noticing Zhang Haobo's implication, asked with interest.
"Who knows? But they certainly seem to be hitting it off. Even though Shuofeng has now returned to the Spirit Transformation stage, he doesn't seem to mind Little Sister's cultivation level."
"Sigh, that kid Xiao Heng has no sense of danger at all."
Su Changyu chuckled softly, "You worry too much. In my opinion, matters of romance might not even be on Little Sister's mind."
Zhang Haobo could only shake his head, speechless. Years had passed, and the little children from back then seemed to have grown up. Yet, subtly, some things hadn't changed. Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of emotion, vaguely recalling his children from his first few lives. "I really am getting old," he muttered to himself.
Soon after, Li Fan suppressed this fleeting emotion.
Meanwhile, Xiao Heng had to put in a great deal of effort to coax Su Xiaomei until she was happy and agreed to hand over Shuofeng's jade token. After a few days of preparation, Xiao Heng, Su Xiaomei, and Zhang Haobo embarked on their distant journey to Cangwu State. Han Wuyou's large eyes were filled with envy. She waved her hand, bidding them farewell. Su Changyu's eyelids twitched violently, as if he wanted to open his eyes. But his expression remained perfectly calm. In the end, he did not open his extraordinary twin pupils.
Shuofeng's jade token proved indeed effective. Even though they weren't Myriad Immortals Alliance cultivators, Xiao Heng and his companions were able to enter Shilin Immortal City without any hindrance. Xiao Heng held tightly onto Su Xiaomei, who was extremely curious and wanted to explore everywhere.
With some trepidation, he activated the teleportation array. Teleporting to the border of Shilin State, they crossed the white mist barrier and arrived in Yuandao State. After that, they continuously used teleportation arrays to rush towards the Cangwu Abyss in the southwestern corner of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Thus, half a month later, just as Li Fan began inspecting the Sky Profound Spirit-Locking Array in Lanlin State, Xiao Heng and his group finally reached their destination.
"It seems Lanlin State is indeed not far from Cangwu Abyss. Even without relying on sensing formations, my Formless Killing Intent can perceive the scene." Through the eyes of the group, Li Fan was finally able to witness the long-renowned Cangwu Abyss firsthand.
Unlike the Congyun Abyss, which had completely vanished into nothingness, this Cangwu Abyss resembled the Void Abyss of Great Xuan. Below towering cliffs lay an endless deep valley. Above the deep valley, crimson mist swirled, obscuring the view to its end. Many flying birds and exotic beasts soared within the mist. Along the cliff walls, at various descending intervals, there were numerous buildings constructed into the mountain, extending deep inside.
"Cangwu Abyss is a unique geographical feature formed many years ago when the mountains and rivers of Cangwu State entirely disappeared. Therefore, the abyss has its boundaries, shaped like a foot. It has been explored downwards for approximately 300,000 zhang, yet the bottom is still far from being reached. Cangwu Abyss is not empty. Instead, each layer has its own distinct appearance. The first layer extends from the surface to 30,000 zhang underground. Numerous exotic beasts inhabit the Cangwu mist and the abyss's cliff walls. These types of exotic beasts devour metal and spit lightning, possessing formidable strength. They are fearless and move in groups, so caution is advised. The second layer is from 30,000 zhang to 80,000 zhang underground."
Su Xiaomei read the descriptive jade slip, freely given by a cultivator outside Cangwu Abyss, word by word, her eyes wide. "It's so vast, so deep. Even if that True Medicine King Cauldron is really inside Cangwu Abyss, we won't be able to find it, will we?" she transmitted telepathically.
Xiao Heng, however, felt a stir in his heart. He manipulated the Minor Medicine King Cauldron in his storage ring to sense for something. Sure enough, at a certain location deep within the abyss, something was echoing the Minor Medicine King Cauldron.
