The Sha Qi Abyss

Ning Qi turned his head and looked in the direction he was pointing.

However, nothing can be seen.

What's here?

Medicine Spirit, quick to speak, asked curiously.

He had just observed it, whether using his Divine Sense or his own Life Essence.

We couldn't sense anything.

"Master, if we go out this way, I think there's Inheritance there."

"However, I can't be sure if this is the Inheritance of Mount Buzhou!"

The Black Shadow turned around and said seriously.

"Since it can't be confirmed, then it doesn't exist."

Medicine Spirit waved his hand, revealing a disdainful expression.

"However, since it's possible, let's go take a look." "Here, anything is possible; it doesn't matter which direction we go."

Instead of doing that, why don't we go and see where he suggested?

Ning Qi, on the contrary, was quite interested in this place.

"Alright, let's go then!"

As Medicine Spirit spoke, she asked, "Master, do we still need our Flying Vessel?"

"Not for now. I was just tracking him."

That's why it's used now; it's for the purpose of finding Inheritance.

"Flying too fast might cause you to miss some fortuitous opportunity!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "Let's fly slowly and not miss anything."

"Good!"

After agreeing, Medicine Spirit said to the Black Shadow, "Lead the way!"

"Yes!" The Black Shadow respectfully accepted the order and then began to leap forward.

I'm about to lead the way for the two of them.

Ning Qi glanced ahead again and followed.

And so, the group began to walk and observe.

"Master, why aren't Miss Xu and the others coming out?"

Medicine Spirit followed for a while, then suddenly thought of something.

We didn't see many people for the rest of the journey.

They are all staying in my Inner Realm.

"This road isn't safe enough. Let's make plans after we find the Inheritance!"

Ning Qi responded upon hearing this.

"That's true, it saves us a lot of trouble that way."

Medicine Spirit nodded in deep agreement, revealing a look of approval.

Ning Qi didn't say anything, but continued to speed forward.

The Black Shadow flew a distance and stopped on a mountaintop.

All attention was focused on what was ahead.

Looking at the situation here, he wore a solemn expression.

"Why did you stop? What did you discover?"

After Ning Qi arrived, he asked curiously.

"Yes, we've discovered some information."

The Black Shadow figure nodded and pointed ahead. "There's a very strong Sha Qi here."

"Oh? You can sense Sha Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Medicine Spirit also came over.

He too looked curious and went to observe where he was pointed. However, he couldn't sense any Sha Qi he was talking about.

"Master, because of my special constitution, I can sense it."

"It's very difficult for others to sense the Sha Qi here!"

The Black Shadow turned around and explained earnestly.

"Master, what should we do? Should we go check on the situation?"

Medicine Spirit turned her attention to Ning Qi and asked him about his plans.

"Let's go, since there's something going on, let's go check it out."

"What if there really is something there in that place he's talking about?"

As Ning Qi spoke, he had already headed in the direction indicated by the Black Shadow.

Medicine Spirit followed closely behind, and the Black Shadow also went after her.

The group moved quickly and arrived at the ravine the Black Shadow figure had mentioned.

Here, you can see signs of a battle. Some corpses can still be seen on the ground, though a long time has passed.

But it still didn't rot.

"These people must have been very powerful when they were alive!"

"Otherwise, it would have rotted long ago!"

Medicine Spirit looked at the corpse on the ground and even leaned closer to examine it for a while. "Master, the Life Essence within this corpse is still very strong."

"It seems more like his Divine Sense was directly shattered."

"Or rather, it was the removal of his soul that caused these people to be killed!"

"Okay, let's go take a look over here!"

Ning Qi had no interest in the corpses and continued looking ahead.

Medicine Spirit watched for a while, then followed.

Ning Qi continued forward and soon arrived at a cave.

"Whoosh!" From here, one can feel waves emanating from within.

"The Sha Qi is coming from here!"

The Black Shadow followed, warily peering inside. "I have a feeling there's some kind of trap here."

"Since I came here, I've had a constant feeling of unease."

"Master, I feel the same way."

"Should we go in?"

Medicine Spirit followed and asked the same question.

After he arrived, he always felt that something was amiss.

However, he didn't go in, and he didn't know where this feeling came from.

In short, they were very wary.

It's not as simple as not wanting to go in.

"On the contrary, I want to go in and find out." "What is this that makes one so uneasy?"

At that moment, it wasn't just the two of them who felt it.

Even Ning Qi sensed it, though everyone's perception was different.

"Master, why is it that everyone's feelings are different?"

Medicine Spirit frowned slightly and turned her attention back to the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

Something feels off, but where's the nearest place?

"You two, wait near the cave entrance later."

"If anything happens, contact me immediately."

Ning Qi shook his head and said firmly, "I'll go in right now and see what's going on."

"Master, let me go in with you!"

"That way we can look out for each other!" Medicine Spirit said, echoing her insistence.

"No need, just guard the entrance."

"On the contrary, it's safer!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "Conceal your presence, don't let him detect that there are people around!"

"Master, do you think there's someone here?"

Upon hearing his words, Medicine Spirit immediately frowned.

I never expected there would still be anyone here.

"Yeah, it's just a feeling, but we always have to be prepared!"

Ning Qi nodded, then looked ahead again. "Alright, go ahead, hide well."

"If you discover anything, communicate with me telepathically before taking any action!"

"However, in an emergency, you can do whatever you want!"

"Understood, I'll keep a close eye on this place!" Medicine Spirit agreed and stopped trying to persuade her.

"Good!"

Ning Qi agreed and then headed straight ahead.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the cave entrance.

"Call!"

As soon as I stepped inside, I felt a foul, fishy smell.

It made him feel that the Immortal-Demon Power within his body were beginning to stir.

Just like how things always need to break out of the body.

"Order it for me!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and roared.

Only in this way could the restless energy within the body be suppressed.

However, there was still a restless feeling within his Dantian. It was truly strange that this place could evoke such a sensation.

Ning Qi looked at the cave ahead and had no intention of turning back.

Instead, he directly activated the Immortal-Demon Power within his body and continued to walk inside.

After walking for a while, he discovered some Inscriptions on the stone wall.

Unfortunately, he couldn't understand what it meant either.

But he didn't intend to linger there; he just glanced at it briefly.

So we continued walking inside.

Along the way, you can still see plants climbing on the stone wall from time to time.

The fruits of these plants are entirely black.

It also emitted streaks of black light.

As it shimmered, a chilling aura began to surge within the stone walls.

Ning Qi stepped forward and curiously picked one. He probed it with his Divine Sense and discovered that it actually contained a trace of Demonic Qi.

"There's Demonic Qi here?"

Ning Qi let out a soft "hmm," and then began picking fruit.

He then picked all the fruit in one go.

It makes this place look bare.

Finally, they were all placed into their own Sumeru Space.

If you keep going forward, you'll reach a cliff edge near a cave.

Looking at the situation here, Ning Qi couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

Further ahead lies a bottomless abyss.

Those Sha Qi emanated from below.

Even now, Sha Qi still occasionally surges out from below.

Following the path he took, it drifted outwards. What intrigued Ning Qi was that a large portion of it contained Sha Qi.

In the end, it was all absorbed by the plants climbing the stone wall.

"In other words, this plant can absorb these Sha Qi."

"Through this strange plant, it then transforms into Demonic Qi?"

Ning Qi frowned, then quickly realized something.

If that's the case, then things are much easier to discuss.

He suddenly thought of something.

Below, there is clearly Sha Qi.

Resisting would require a great deal of effort.

However, the plants here can refine his Sha Qi.

So, by taking these plants down with me, wouldn't I be able to avoid this unnecessary consumption?

He quickly came up with a solution. The plant itself cannot move.

However, if I pick them up myself, they'll be able to move.

After making up his mind, he quickly returned to the stone wall he had just been standing on.

They then brought over quite a few plants from this area.

They all gathered around him.

They wove together many plants.

It can create a defensive barrier around oneself.

Ning Qi looked at his masterpiece with a satisfied expression.

Then they gathered the plants together again.

This time, no defense was deployed.

Instead, he stored it, along with the fruit, in his own Sumeru Space.

After gathering them all, Ning Qi arrived at the edge of the abyss.

"Call!"

From below, Sha Qi still surged.

He tried taking out a Spirit Stone.

He just threw it out.

"Whoosh!"

The Spirit Stone was immediately devoured upon contact with the Sha Qi here.

Ning Qi glanced at it but didn't rush down.

Instead, they used a single plant for the experiment.

He picked up the plant and threw it down.

"Call!"

After being tainted by the Sha Qi, the plant didn't change much; it simply fell to the ground quickly.

"Good."

Ning Qi made his judgment after just one glance.

This plant, as expected, had no effect.

In other words, you won't get hurt if you use plants as cover.

After making up his mind, he took out the defensive plants he had just woven.

He covered himself with the blanket before jumping down.

"Call!"

After he jumped down, a series of sharp, blade-like Gale suddenly erupted from the area.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that within these Gale, there were also streaks of Sha Qi rushing towards him.

Originally, they were planning to deal with Ning Qi, this uninvited guest.

However, upon reaching them, they were all blocked by the plants. Some of the weaker ones were even swallowed up by the plants.

After Ning Qi fell a certain distance.

He discovered that some more fruit had sprouted on the plant.

These fruits are far more potent than the ones he had outside.

The Demonic Qi inside is even purer.

"That's good, it can even produce fruit."

Ning Qi smiled, a satisfied look on his face. "If that's really the case, then that would be even better."

"We should cultivate more fruit; it might be useful in the future."

"Perhaps it could be given to the Zhao siblings to enhance their strength."

As he thought this, he continued to fall.

As expected, this abyss was indeed as deep as it appeared.

It was truly bottomless. He continued downwards like that, not knowing how much time had passed.

It wasn't until later, when he could hear the sound of water dripping below, that he was able to hear it again.

After another short while, it finally landed on the ground.

"Clatter!"

With his feet touching the ground, Ning Qi finally reached the bottom of the area.

"Call!"

Here, the wind could still be heard howling.

I don't know if it's the sound of the wind or the Sha Qi surging here.

However, Ning Qi felt no fear.

He now possesses the strength of Archaic Golden Immortal.

Even here, he showed no fear whatsoever.

After observing for a while, he discovered that he had gained another batch of fruits. By this time, these fruits had turned red.

However, the black light on it was still there, only stronger now.

It was as if it were a tangible substance, constantly surging and pulsating.

Ning Qi didn't think much of it and simply put them all away.

Its Divine Sense probed outwards, beginning to observe the situation here.

What reassured him was that his Divine Sense was not imprisoned here.

After investigating for a while, he quickly discovered the situation.

It's like a long, narrow canyon.

Within this canyon, streaks of red light flickered.

"This must be the Sha Qi."

"They all came from this direction."

After observing for a while, Ning Qi determined a direction. All the Sha Qi was converging from this direction.

After figuring out the direction, he finally decided to go this way.

Let's examine the source of this Sha Qi; what exactly is it?

It can continuously release Sha Qi here.

He walked forward, observing the situation as he went.

Soon, they discovered that the roads here were littered with withered bones.

Each and every skeleton emitted a powerful aura.

Some were even perfectly preserved.

This shows just how powerful the owner was in life.

Even if one dies here countless years ago, one's body can still be preserved.

Ning Qi walked a while longer and discovered that the corpses here were beginning to contain powerful Spirit Beast.

He even saw the corpses of some Divine Beast. What is it about this place that would draw so many people to risk their lives here?

Moreover, there are Divine Beast.

Ning Qi glanced ahead, a look of hesitation on his face.

If you keep going forward, you'll likely find this situation.

However, it will also bring him a lot of trouble.

The bodies here, in particular, are very likely from people who came here to explore and lost their lives.
