long chen hastily took out the sensor device. he saw a small arrow pointing to some extremely faint fluctuations. he hastily rushed off in that direction.

after just a few miles, long chen had to stop. a huge abyss had appeared. it was even bigger than the abyss he and leng yueyan had fallen into.

“they couldn’t have...” long chen looked at the sensor device with bewilderment. once he was in front of the abyss, his heart sank. the arrow was pointing down into the abyss. “they actually fell down.”

now this matter was grave. if they had fallen down this abyss, then even ten thousand lives wouldn’t have been enough.

when he and leng yueyan had gone all-out and worked together, they had only managed to escape with their lives because of a coincidence. but li qi and song mingyuan had only been at the xiantian realm when they had left. there was no way they could have survived.

thinking of that, sadness crept across long chen’s face. although he had known the chances of them surviving were remote, he had still been hopeful. now that he was facing this result, he couldn’t accept it.

“no!” long chen suddenly realized something was off. if they really had fallen to the bottom of an abyss, the terrifying spatial blades would have torn them to pieces. even the sensor devices on their bodies should have been destroyed.

“they have to still be down there.” long chen’s heart jumped. looking down at the abyss, he clenched his teeth and asked the eastern wasteland bell, “senior, if i go down, do you have the power to bring me up?”

“that’s no problem, but it would use up one of your favors. think about it carefully. for two people who are likely dead, you are sacrificing a life-saving opportunity. is it worth it?” warned the eastern wasteland bell.

“of course it’s worth it. anything is worth it for my brothers. since i know they’re below, i have to go down. even if what i find is their corpses, it’s worth it!” said long chen.

“sometimes i find you really are incurably stupid. but i like this stupidity of yours,” said the eastern wasteland bell. its voice contained the slightest bit of gratification and admiration.

“so then you’re saying it’s no problem?” asked long chen.

“of course. i am the eastern wasteland bell. even in my broken down state, such a minor matter is nothing,” said the eastern wasteland bell indifferently. but its voice clearly contained its own arrogance.

“alright, then i’m going down.”

“go in peace.”

go in peace? long chen was speechless. those words seemed rather ominous.

“let me say it another way. with me present, you can be at ease as you go!” the eastern wasteland bell also seemed to have sensed that its words were a bit odd and changed them.

“is there any difference?” long chen rolled his eyes. did people from ancient times all talk this way?

“are you going or not?!” raged the eastern wasteland bell.nôv(el)b\\jnn

long chen jumped down into the abyss. this time, he was completely on guard. he did his best to control his own descent speed. he found that it was the same as the last abyss. he could only go down, not up. now that he had jumped down, he had no way back up.

after breaking his earth seal, long chen extended his hands and pressed them against the foreheads of song mingyuan and li qi. he broke away the earth, touching their skin.

“good, good. they hid their souls in their niwan. they hadn’t dissipated yet!” long chen was delighted. the so-called niwan was located in the middle of a person’s head. it was also called the niwan palace and was the spring which gave birth to a cultivator’s spiritual strength.

when the earth seal had covered him, long chen had sensed a special energy from the earth trying to absorb his soul.

as for song mingyuan and li qi, they had been unable to fight against that absorption, so they had sealed their own souls in their niwan palace, which had made them enter a state of quasi death. that was the only way to slow down the absorption of their souls.

however, even if they had sealed their spiritual strength in their niwans, they still weren’t able to completely stop it. the only thing they could do was stall for more time.

their spiritual strength was extremely weak now, and the flames of their souls were almost extinguished. it was no wonder he hadn’t sensed their life auras.

long chen’s powerful spiritual strength gently entered their niwans, nourishing their souls. as he did so, their souls were like dry riverbeds finally receiving nourishment and recovering.

at the same time as they recovered, another kind of energy was absorbing quite a bit of long chen’s spiritual strength. he sensed that it was being sent to the large sphere.

long chen’s mouth curled into a cold smile. he allowed it to continue absorbing his spiritual strength.

song mingyuan and li qi’s souls were extremely weak, and so long chen didn’t give them too much spiritual strength at first.

“boss.”

it was several hours before their souls finally awoke. seeing long chen in front of them, they were startled and delighted, but also ashamed.

“recover your souls fully first,” said long chen. although the two had awoken, their spiritual strength was still weak. they needed more time to recover to their peak.

“boss, we’re sorry,” said li qi. he felt himself to be too useless. he had wanted to get stronger, but the result was that he had just caused trouble for long chen.

“there’s no need for such words between brothers. i have to admire the two of you. can you tell me how you ended up here?” asked long chen as he continued pouring in his spiritual strength. he was curious, had the two of them wanted to get stronger so badly that they had gone insane? had they decided to follow the legends of people jumping off cliffs in search of opportunity?

“it was that bastard yue qianshan. he joined forces with zhao wuji to chase us down. we weren’t able to beat them, so we were forced into this abyss,” raged song mingyuan. he hated those two to the core now, but they hadn’t been able to defeat them.

“alright, don’t be so mad. if you want revenge, you can get it once we get out. once you see those two, just directly crush them.” long chen smiled.

these two really were unlucky. they had fallen here not long after entering the immemorial path. after being sealed here for so long, they didn’t even know what had happened outside.

as for zhao wuji and yue qianshan, they were just rank two celestials. to the current long chen, rank two celestials were weaker than cannon fodder.

an hour later, their souls had fully recovered. but long chen still kept them encased in the earth.

“alright, be careful. i will help you refine this earth spirit bead. it might be a bit painful, but endure it.” after saying that, long chen’s spiritual strength suddenly spurted out wildly, and the two of them immediately felt a burst of pain in their souls.
