Chapter 2218 Descending Into the Abyss

The seal released a buzz for a moment before the light gradually dimmed.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan frowned.
Based on his theory, he should have been able to communicate with Du Qingyuan and the others through the altar via this ritual, but for some reason, he was unable to reach them. It felt like there was something hindering him, preventing him from delivering his message.
If that was the case, how did Luo Ruoxin communicate with them?
“Would it easier if we head to that distorted space from before?” Little Chick, who had been silent all this while, suddenly proposed.
It had been with Zhang Xuan through the Azure, so it was able to tell what Zhang Xuan was planning to do.
“The distorted space…” Zhang Xuan repeated before nodding excitedly in agreement.
Indeed!
If his previous conjecture was correct, the abyss beneath Spirit Origin Royal City should be linked to the Azure. Even if there was still a dimension barrier there, it should be much thinner compared to elsewhere.
Perhaps this was how Luo Ruoxin was able to successfully descend to the Azure and enter the Master Teacher Continent.
“Let’s head there to take a look,” Zhang Xuan said.
Little Chick nodded as it spat out the stone phoenix sculpture that it had swallowed earlier.
Without any hesitation, the black phoenix immediately entered the sculpture once more. It was already in a feeble state due to its earlier exertion, and it looked like it would not be able to last too long.
Seeing how even the will of the old Deathless Monarch had acknowledged Zhang Xuan as his master, the Fire Feather Conferred God King and the others did not dare utter a word of objection. They bowed deferentially to send Zhang Xuan off.
Descending from Spirit Origin Royal City, Zhang Xuan was just about to enter the abyss when he was suddenly joined by Luo Qiqi.
“Bring me with you,” she said with a determined gaze.
Understanding Luo Qiqi’s intentions, Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
If they descended to the Azure, Luo Qiqi would be able to return to the Master Teacher Continent and meet Luo Xuanqing and her other family members. This was one of her greatest regrets all this while, so it would be good if she could resolve it.
The two humans and a chick quickly descended the passageway of the abyss, and about an hour later, they were finally standing before the spatial vortex.
“I’ll be heading down first!”
With the previous experience, Little Chick unhesitatingly dived into it.
“I’ll give it a try, too!” Luo Qiqi added with a chuckle.
Before her body even fell into the spatial vortex, the space around her had begun warping to mimic the movements of the spatial vortex. As a result, she was able to maneuver freely within the spatial vortex without sustaining any injuries.
As the spirit of the Dimension Silencer, she was extremely sensitive to the manipulation of spatial laws. Furthermore, her cultivation had already reached God King realm pinnacle. With that, it was not too difficult for her to pull off this feat.
“I guess I’m the only one left,” Zhang Xuan muttered as he took a deep breath.
Unlike the last time he was there with Feng Jiuge, his soul cultivation had already reached God King realm pinnacle, and he had the Spirit God’s Seal of Supreme Monarch in his possession.
It should not be too dangerous for him to enter the spatial vortex.
Thus, he channeled his soul energy to form a massive barrier around him before leaping into the spatial vortex while clutching the Seal of Supreme Monarch tightly.
Weng!
As soon as his body touched the spatial vortex, he began to twist as if he was a noodle.
Despite having straightened his body, he could still see his feet warping like a reflection in a distortion mirror. He was unable to control his body.
Luo Qiqi swam over to his side and said, “The space within a spatial vortex is actually not too different from normal space. Don’t believe what you are seeing through your own eyes.”
“Don’t believe what I’m seeing through my own eyes?”
“Our eyes and senses perceive what we see and sense in normal space to be right because it is what we are accustomed to. So, in an area of distorted space, we must view the world from a distorted perspective in order for it to make sense to us…” Luo Qiqi explained the unique properties within the spatial vortex to him.
As the spirit of the Dimension Silencer, she was able to grasp the secrets of the spatial vortex shortly after entering it.
After hearing Luo Qiqi’s words, Zhang Xuan quickly adjusted his point of view, and he could finally perceive the world in the same way that he was used to.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was finally adapting to it, Luo Qiqi gestured forward and said, “The spatial vortex is not the same throughout. The degree of distortion can change very quickly as we move from place to place, such that even Conferred God Kings will have trouble trying to venture too deep.”
Looking in the direction that Luo Qiqi was gesturing toward, Zhang Xuan saw the world ahead of him distorting in countless bizarre ways. There were some areas that were incredibly broad and some areas that were almost as thin as a needle.
It was as if the laws of the world had suddenly collapsed within this area.
To make matters worse, the space was flowing nonstop, such that what he saw a moment ago could become drastically different a few breaths later.
With such vast changes in the spatial laws, even the Conferred God Kings would face grave danger in there.
It was not to say that Conferred God Kings were not strong enough, but the laws that governed this spatial vortex were very different from those of the Firmament. Their conferred powers would not work in this area, so they could only wield the strength of a God King in there. That would mean that they would not be any stronger than Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi.
The two humans and the chick advanced through the spatial vortex for roughly two hours, but in order to adapt to the distorted space, they actually only managed to advance five hundred meters within this period of time!
The spatial vortex ahead of them stretched on and on, and it could possibly be hundreds and thousands of li. If they were only able to cover five hundred meters within two hours, how long would it take for them to get to the end of it?
Most likely, they would still be wandering around there even after Luo Ruoxin and Kong shi had finished their duel!
“This isn’t working!” Zhang Xuan said with a deep frown.
He had been trying to use the Seal of Supreme Monarch all this while, but he still was not able to establish a connection with the Azure. The dimension barrier was still too strong.
“I’ll lead the way. Follow closely behind me and make sure that you don’t lag behind,” Luo Qiqi said.
“Hmm?” Zhang Xuan was surprised.
He was just about to ask what she was going to do when she suddenly morphed into the round form of the Dimension Silencer.
She released an aura that caused the distorted space to freeze, as if someone was forcefully holding it in place.
“Let’s go!” Luo Qiqi exclaimed.
Zhang Xuan and Little Chick quickly followed her and darted ahead.
With the Dimension Silencer stabilizing the space, they were able to progress swiftly ahead. Four hours later, after covering tens of thousands of li, a dark gray screen appeared before them.
Swirls of gray currents rippled on the surface of the screen, and they emanated a pressure that made it difficult for one to breathe.
Hu!
Luo Qiqi reverted to her human form as she gasped desperately for air. Her face was pale from overexerting herself. It was clear that the earlier flight had depleted her energy greatly.
Zhang Xuan quickly passed a pinnacle God Essence Pill to her so that she could replenish her energy. Roughly an hour later, her face finally regained its glow once more.
“Something is really weird about these gray currents of energy,” Luo Qiqi remarked as she examined the sight before her contemplatively.
“It is weird…” Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
The gray currents of energy were what Feng Jiuge had absorbed into his body previously. He had thought that there were just little traces of it around the abyss, but who could have known that they would form a massive wall further in?
Luo Qiqi moved toward the gray wall and reached toward it.
Seeing her action, Zhang Xuan immediately exclaimed with a horrified face, “Don’t do…”
However, before he could finish his words, the young lady had already gotten afflicted with the gray energy.
With its ability to devour energy, Luo Qiqi’s cultivation swiftly fell from God King realm pinnacle all the way to God King realm primary stage within a few breaths, and it was continuing to fall further.
