Shi Wuwei stared at the enormous fissure below, which seemed to split the entire earth in two, and his eyes brightened slightly.
"This should be Dusk Ravine Abyss."
Dusk Ravine Abyss was a renowned location within the Return-to-Ruins Cave Secret Realm. Divine Firmament Bamboo, which could withstand tribulation lightning, and Heart-Demon Flowers, which could help cultivators avoid succumbing to tribulations of the heart, had once been discovered in its depths.
"Fellow Daoist Yan'e, shall we venture into the abyss and investigate?"
Though Shi Wuwei phrased it as a question, he was already descending slowly toward the fissure below.

"Yan'e, be careful. These astral winds are truly strange. They surge only within the abyss, without spilling out in the slightest," Shi Wuwei said.
"They are indeed rather unusual," Song Wen said.
He formed a barrier of magical power around himself, keeping the astral winds at bay.

The two continued downward,
