The Lesser Vehicle Star Ferry docked at the mouth of the Soul-Shocking Sea, while Ying Shi and the others still wore deeply respectful expressions.
"Shall we see you off here, then?" Ying Luan asked with an ingratiating smile.
"We've more or less completed our mission. We'd ask that, when Xia Ye encounters Great Luotian again, you put in a good word for us..."
"By the way, I have a report from the hall about what the Great Primordial Heaven experienced here. Consider it something for your reference."
The Soul-Shocking Sea looked like nothing more than a vast expanse of fiery mist. One couldn't see what lay within, and its temperature was even comparable to a sea of flames. No ordinary living creature would ever take a single step into it.
That wasn't even the most important part. It was said that the deeper one went, the higher the temperature became, and staying there too long could even cause soul-shocking hallucinations.
According to those who had returned, they would suddenly come to their senses while walking, only to find themselves inexplicably standing somewhere else. Yet along the way, they wouldn't have noticed anything amiss.
Under such side effects, there was a chance one might enter the Shattered Constellation!
As I listened to the three of them point things out, I couldn't help feeling uneasy.
I knew the Heavenly Marrow was a bottomless pit. Once I obtained it, I would certainly become the target of all sides, but I had no choice but to take it. Otherwise, if I cut off the road to Great Luotian, I would still end up as a fish on the chopping block.
Relying on Dragon Ancestor to conceal the secrets of heaven was as unrealistic as trying to scoop the moon from a reflection in water.
