Chapter 348 The Demonic Sound Comes from the Bottom of the Abyss
"The Abyss? Where is that place?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask as the name gave off an ominous aura.
Ji Hongdao turned around and glanced at Li Fan, smiling: "It's useless to tell you now. You will know it when you get there."
"Although it's a bit dangerous, you don't have to worry too much."
"With us old guys here, nothing big can happen."
Ji Hongdao obviously had great confidence in himself and said disapprovingly.
Since Ji Hongdao said so, Li Fan naturally couldn't continue to ask questions and stepped aside with Xue Mu.
Soon after, Shangguan Shi, a thin man whom he had met once in the Huanyu Villa, also came to the ship with five other people.
These five people are not members of the previous training camp. They are wearing the standard robes of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, with mature faces and capable manners.
It seems that this is not their first time on this spaceship and they are very familiar with its structure.
After saluting Ji Hongdao, he walked straight to the cabin.
When he passed by Li Fan and Xue Mu, he nodded slightly.
Xue Mu didn't realize the other party's identity for a moment and stayed where he was.
Li Fan greeted the other party with the same familiarity.
When the other party's figure disappeared from sight, Li Fan heard Xue Mu's serious message for advice.
"Fellow Taoist Li Fan, you seem to know them? I wonder who these people are?"
Li Fan quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know you. But we are all members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and we are as close as a family. It's just a greeting when we meet. It's normal."
Xue Mu was speechless and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Fortunately, the fat man Huangfusong came to his rescue.
"Let's go, don't stand there stupidly. Everyone has almost arrived, and we will probably leave soon." Huangfusong glanced at Li Fan, snorted, and ordered.
Li Fan followed Huangfu Song as if he were following the lead of his predecessors.
Walking through the cabin corridor, Li Fan found that many people had already gathered on the spaceship.
It seems that he is not just the formation master of the Ce Formation Hall.
The faint bloody aura coming from the monks in some rooms told Li Fan that this mission might not be as easy as Ji Hongdao said.
The two followed Huangfusong to an empty cabin and sat down.
Li Fan asked Huangfusong for advice with a smile on his face: "Senior Huangfu, can you tell us what the goal of our mission is?"
Huangfusong looked at Li Fan with a half-smile but not a smile: "You kid, are you scared?"
Li Fan admitted generously: "Of course the courage of this junior cannot be compared with that of your senior. After all, even senior Tantai Tao and the others..."
"Stop! Stop!" Huangfusong's face changed slightly, "You kid, how come you never leave Tantai Tao in three words?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a dangerous light, and examined Fan Li Fan carefully.
After a while, Huangfusong put away the murderous intention in his heart, and the smile reappeared on his face.
"Hmph, there's no harm in telling you. Dean Ji won't tell you, it's just a long story and troublesome to explain."
Huangfusong knocked on the table in front of him carelessly, took a sip of the steaming spiritual tea that suddenly appeared, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression: "We are going to the depths of the white mist."
"Deep in the white mist?" Li Fan and Xue Mu looked at each other, slightly startled.
But he didn't show it. He followed Huangfusong's example, tapped the table and drank the hot tea in one gulp.
Listen patiently to Huangfusong's story.
"You also know that there is a [white mist barrier] across the world, dividing each state. Walking through the white mist will consume your lifespan. Even through the teleportation array, you cannot avoid it."
"So even us monks don't want to move around frequently unless necessary."
Li Fan nodded slightly in agreement.
"It is precisely for this reason that our understanding of white fog is extremely limited."
"Most people believe that the white fog barrier only appeared on the original land and existed as a dividing line."
"But actually..."
Huangfusong smiled: "The white fog is far wider than we imagined."
"So if you have nothing to do, don't try to time travel physically on a whim. Otherwise, you may get lost in the vast white mist, and it will be difficult for Tianzun to save you."
This was the first time Xue Mu heard of such a thing, and his expression became a little nervous and solemn.
Li Fan thought for a while, but was not fooled by Huangfusong, and said: "Although there are not many monks who physically pass through the white mist barrier every year, there are definitely a lot."
"Thinking back to what my senior said, there are only a very small number of vast areas in the white mist barrier."
"Otherwise, if it was really as dangerous as the seniors described, people would have noticed it long ago."
Huangfusong stopped talking immediately, feeling a little embarrassed when Li Fan exposed him.
But he immediately retorted with a sneer: "I don't know how many monks who left in the white mist and never came back have the same idea as you."
"If you are not afraid of death, feel free to try boldly."
"It seems like it's just a stone's throw away, but it's like a chasm that cannot be crossed. We call these places in the white mist barrier [mysterious areas]."
"I cannot disclose the number of mysteries that have been discovered so far. But it is definitely far beyond your imagination, kid."
Huangfusong felt relieved when he saw Li Fan nodding in agreement and no longer being harsh.
Just then he continued: "The destination of our trip, [The Great Abyss], is a mysterious area that was discovered a long time ago."
"As the name suggests, it is an area that extends infinitely downward in space. It is unfathomable and has no end."
"Every once in a while, there are inexplicable sounds of surprise, desperate roars, trance-like whispers, and other different sounds coming from the bottom of the abyss."
"Ordinary monks, those whose minds are not firm, once they are tempted by the voice, they may become obsessed and their cultivation will regress."
"In severe cases, the person will lose his mind and become an inhuman monster who only knows how to kill."
Huangfusong seemed to recall something, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Because this confusing area is too weird, once it was discovered, it was closely monitored by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"So the alliance also discovered that the sounds coming from the abyss were getting louder and louder."
When Xue Mu heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's getting louder and louder?"
Huangfusong nodded: "Affected by this, the Eternal Immortal Fortress established by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance outside the Abyss has been forced to move upwards over the years."
"But in order to stifle the influence of the demonic sound within the scope of the abyss, the eternal immortal fortress has no retreat."
"So starting a hundred years ago, the alliance began to try to use some special means to fight against the magic sound coming from the bottom of the abyss."
"Special means? Could it be..." Li Fan suddenly remembered something and his heart moved.
