Su Mu sat in the carriage. After leaving the city, he could no longer see many other merchants along the way.
You can still see streaks of light flashing across the horizon.
On Earth, this would be considered a meteor, but in the Haotian Realm, cultivators are riding on this kind of light.
"When will we be able to fly so freely, just like that?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator standing nearby watched this scene with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Someone like him, who has just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, is basically expected to address any cultivator as a senior.
Even if he encountered some fortuitous opportunity, it had nothing to do with him.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate to a high level.
If one doesn't join a sect, it's even more difficult to remain a Rogue Cultivator.
Although there is an Rogue Cultivator League Rogue Cultivator, they won't give you resources like that.
Although Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly, it consumes too much Spiritual Power, so almost no Foundation Establishment cultivator would do so.
If they encounter any danger while flying, they are likely to be defeated due to insufficient Spiritual Power.
"Reaching higher levels isn't that easy."
The other person shook his head and sighed softly upon hearing this.
He knew all too well how difficult cultivation was, especially for minor cultivators like them, it was incredibly challenging.
They believed their aptitude wasn't particularly bad; even with such scarce resources, they had managed to successfully Foundation Establishment.
If they had the resources of core disciples from major sects, reaching the Core Formation Stage would be a piece of cake, right?
Every time I think about this, it's incredibly discouraging.
They believed their own aptitude was not bad, but unfortunately, they lacked the resources to cultivate enough to supply them with resources.
Su Mu listened to the two talking but didn't offer any comment.
Holding the Dao Scripture in his hands, he comprehended the Great Tao.
The azure light on the Dao Lotus behind his body flickered continuously, as if it were about to bloom at any moment.
When Su Mu was comprehending the Dao Scripture and felt a little dizzy and lightheaded, he gently put the Dao Scripture down.
When I looked up, I realized that I had no idea where I was.
The surrounding area is a sheer cliff, making its geographical location seem rather peculiar.
On the left is a cliff, hundreds of meters high, and on the right is another cliff, only this one slopes downwards.
It's like a staircase, only this staircase is a bit too big.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu couldn't help but feel a little strange. He released his Divine Sense to observe, and what he saw immediately made Su Mu raise an eyebrow.
On the right, there was a steep cliff that looked like a series of steps, extending downwards.
This place is like a staircase specifically built for giants to climb.
A single step can be hundreds of meters high; it's just too magnificent.
"I've heard there's a mysterious treasure at the foot of Hundred-Step Cliff, but I wonder if it's true."
The guards around them also began to discuss this place.
"Who knows? Just a little further down, and the bottom of the cliff is filled with Gang Wind. And with each step down, the Gang Wind become even more ferocious. I've never heard of anyone being able to reach the bottom of Hundred-Step Cliff. I've heard it's ten thousand meters deep."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is this place called Hundred-Step Cliff? That's quite a fitting description.
Each step was a precipice, descending layer by layer, and Su Mu had no idea what lay below.
As the Divine Sense explored downwards, it did indeed encounter Gang Wind, Gang Wind so powerful it seemed capable of shattering even Divine Sense itself.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu immediately became curious about what was down there.
What is that down there? His Divine Sense hadn't even extended much downwards before it couldn't withstand it anymore. If it went any further down, wouldn't it be torn to shreds?
Su Mu became a little curious and couldn't help but fly out of the carriage to look down.
Looking down from Su Mu's position, you can't see much further before it's completely dark.
The area below appears to be a dark abyss, and when one focuses their gaze on the black abyss below, a chilling feeling washes over them.
It's as if Su Mu is standing directly on the head of a giant snake, which is flicking its tongue, wondering when it will swallow him.
Su Mu broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He felt as if there was something below him, staring at him with immense pressure.
Within Su Mu's Divine Sense, the Azure Lotus slowly rotated at that moment.
Su Mu's body, which had been somewhat stiff, immediately relaxed at this moment.
Looking down, it still felt like a dark abyss, as if it were unfathomable.
This time, however, Su Mu didn't feel the same way she had been being stared at before.
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and then flew to the carriage beside him.
Although he didn't know what it was, it gave Su Mu a lot of feelings of oppression.
This feeling left Su Mu with lingering fear, and he dared not act recklessly again.
"Senior."
Those nearby saw Su Mu return and quickly stepped forward.
What is it?
Su Mu looked at the guard and raised an eyebrow.
"Senior, are you alright? I've heard that many cultivators have flown towards this Hundred-Step Cliff before, only to fall off inexplicably and their fates remain unknown. This is the first time I've seen a cultivator fly over it and return safely."
The guard looked at Su Mu with a strange expression.
This Hundred-Step Cliff is infamous; countless cultivators have flown over it before, only to perish at the bottom.
Every year, many birds also land at the bottom of this cliff.
It's truly rare for Su Mu to fly up and still be able to return.
Not to mention the guard, the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him were also staring wide-eyed at Su Mu with disbelief in their eyes.
They couldn't understand how this Foundation Establishment cultivator had done it.
I've heard that even Core Formation Cultivator fly up there can't get out. The opponent is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator; how could he possibly escape unscathed?
When they first saw Su Mu approaching, they didn't even have time to shout, and then they all thought he was doomed.
To my utter surprise, the other party actually survived.
Su Mu was taken aback when he heard this; he hadn't expected there to be such a hidden meaning.
Judging from this situation, there really is something special about the area below Hundred-Step Cliff; what he just sensed wasn't something only he could perceive.
It's estimated that all the cultivators who flew up there could sense it.
But what exactly is down there?
Su Mu felt a little curious, but thinking about what had just happened, she immediately gave up the idea of going down.
Su Mu felt that the area below was not one he could explore.
