Chapter 847: Chapter 737 Missions and Spies_3

Fairy Shi smiled brightly, "Could it be... related to Master Dongqiuzi? Master Dongqiuzi, along with Friends Guang and Zhou, went out and returned gravely injured. Even their Nascent Souls failed to escape, a feat not even the Sky Demon Association can easily achieve. Could it be they encountered an opponent of Integration level?"

"This..."

Chi Songzi was at a loss for words, but fortunately, at that moment, he saw a golden Escape Light twinkling at the city gate before revealing the form of the Wang Family Ancestor.

He approached with the lotus blossoming beneath his every step, holding prayer beads and with bells hanging from his waist, carrying a zen-like presence.

Chi Songzi greeted him, overjoyed, "Friend Wang, you have finally arrived..."

Subtly, he glossed over the question Fairy Shi had just posed.

"Friends Chi and Shi..."

Fang Xi clasped his hands in greeting, "This old man has made some additional preparations for this trip, which is why I am late. Please forgive me!"

"Not at all, not at all..."

Fairy Shi, on the other hand, was behaving quite gently, for it was impolite to offend a fellow Returning to Emptiness cultivator without good reason.

And Chi Songzi felt helpless in his heart.

The way Fairy Shi was acting now was quite different from before.

"Alright, since everyone has arrived, let’s set off," Fang Xi said, disregarding these minor matters.

"It’s about time we can reveal the route that Friend Tong took, isn’t it?" Fairy Shi said, "Your Moon Invitation Immortal City has been secretive about it, and I don’t know why..."

"Please don’t take offense, Fairy..."

Chi Songzi transformed into a red rainbow and flew ahead with astonishing speed, leading the way while conversing through voice transmission, "The truth is that this trade route was secretly opened by our city. It is a matter of great secrecy... But in such perilous times, since both friends are willing to lend assistance, we naturally have nothing to hide."

"This trade route is actually located within the Abyss, necessitating passage through the ’Eye’ of the Mysterious Dark Sea..."

"What?" As soon as these words were spoken, both Fang Xi and Fairy Shi were incredibly surprised, "The ’Eye’ of the Mysterious Dark Sea?"

Fang Xi couldn’t help but recall the geography of the Star Domain.

In ancient times, a star had fallen in this region, creating a massive Abyss on the surface.

It was extremely dangerous, and not even cultivators of Integration level would dare to venture deeply into it.

And a great rift within this massive Abyss formed the Mysterious Dark Sea!

"Could it be that the Moon Invitation Immortal City has explored the Abyss?" Fang Xi and Fairy Shi exchanged glances and asked the same question.

"Of course not!"

Chi Songzi shook his head repeatedly, "Our city once fortuitously obtained an ancient map left by predecessors, which revealed a portion of the Abyss Ground’s geography... It was through generations of exploration that we found a relatively safe pathway at the periphery of the Abyss Ground..."

"Even so, that is quite astonishing," Fang Xi could not help but feel impressed. It was well-deserving of a Returning to Emptiness power to possess such unknown trump cards.

For a business association, a safe trade route is naturally a treasure beyond price!

"Within the Star Domain, there are occasionally Transcendent God level dangers in the wilderness. Even if a Transcendent God cultivator leads the expedition, there is still certain risk... unless a Returning to Emptiness cultivator personally leads, and even then, it cannot guarantee complete safety," Fang Xi speculated, "If the Abyss Ground route is far less dangerous than this, it would indeed be a golden opportunity..."

"Not at all, not at all. Whilst the trade route through the Abyss Ground is relatively safe, there is still the occasional danger of Returning to Emptiness level creatures lurking about... Our city had to employ this route out of Helplessness after Fairy Chen’s caravan was ambushed," Chi Songzi shared as they conversed.

Meanwhile, the three Returning to Emptiness master cultivators were already harnessing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy and heading towards the Mysterious Dark Abyss.

Gazing at the sea’s surface, black as ink, Fang Xi felt a wave of emotion.

But now, the manifold dangers of the Mysterious Dark Abyss seemed like a gentle breeze to the Returning to Emptiness cultivators.

The three rapidly penetrated thousands of miles and arrived at the location of the ’Eye’ of the Mysterious Dark Sea.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Before their eyes lay an enormously vast whirlpool.

Endless Mysterious Dark Heavy Water flowed through the ’Eye,’ churning myriad streams into the Mysterious Dark Sea.

Such a natural wonder was extremely rare to see in the Lower Realm.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The three streaks of light entered the ’Eye,’ one after the other, as tens of thousands of acres of sea water surged towards them with immense pressure.

In terms of terror, even a Transcendent God cultivator would struggle to survive.

But currently, each one of them displayed their Divine Skills.

Chi Songzi had an artifact resembling a Red Pine Tree in his hand, which extended red threads to guard him within.

Fairy Shi laughed lightly as a Jade Mirror appeared in her hand, ensconcing her in swirling petal-like layers.

Fang Xi unfurled his sleeve and a Poison Dragon Shadow roared, swallowing the Mysterious Dark Heavy Water voraciously.

"There are many undercurrents within this ’Eye,’ and one could easily be swept into a false path. A tiny misstep could lead to a huge error. Please follow closely behind me!" Chi Songzi sent a message and led the way forward.

Fang Xi and Fairy Shi promptly followed.

In the dim Mysterious Dark Sea, large shadows akin to colossal beasts occasionally swept by.

But Chi Songzi avoided provoking them, and these beasts did not bother the three travelers.

After all, compared to their size, the three cultivators were like tiny specks of dust beside a whale.

Finally...

After diving deep below the earth for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, Fang Xi and the others leaped out of the water and laid eyes upon a valley-like fissure.

"Is this the Abyss Ground?"

Fang Xi looked up at the Cliff Wall and saw that it was covered in a layer of exotic Moss, which resembled spiders that could move around, and their backs emitted a soft blue glow.

As far as the eye could see, the entire Abyss seemed like a sea of Blue Tears, illusory and dreamlike.
