Chapter 683: Chapter 682: God Burying Abyss

God Burying Abyss, located in the heart of Hengduan Mountain, earns its name as the place where gods are buried, hinting at its perilous nature.

Not just outsiders, even the creatures residing within Hengduan Mountain dare not approach this area.

It is said that once someone enters the domain of the God Burying Abyss, their Divine Soul becomes disoriented, turning them into a madman with muddled senses, never to return to normal.

All creatures are affected alike.

This time, Ye Xuan’s destination was precisely the God Burying Abyss.

About this perilous place, it was not Ye Xuan’s first visit.

As for the rumors about the God Burying Abyss, they are actually true.

But there is a reason for this.

Because the God Burying Abyss itself is a naturally formed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Array, possessing unpredictable powers of spirits and demons.

But once the origins behind it are understood, it is not so frightening anymore.

Of course, that is for Ye Xuan, for other creatures, the God Burying Abyss is still a very terrifying place.

Because understanding the intricacies of the God Burying Abyss is utterly impossible for them.

To put it simply, the God Burying Abyss is indeed just a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Array.

To put it complexly, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Array, naturally created by the heavens and earth, is integrated with the God Burying Abyss itself.

How difficult is it to unravel the mysteries within?

It’s not as simple as it sounds.

Otherwise, the God Burying Abyss wouldn’t be listed as the most dangerous place within Hengduan Mountain.

After defeating the Corpse Carrier of that generation in a burlap robe, Ye Xuan immediately headed to the God Burying Abyss.

Returning to the God Burying Abyss, Ye Xuan felt quite moved.

When he first came to the God Burying Abyss years ago, he profoundly shocked the creatures inside Hengduan Mountain.

Everyone knows the terror of the God Burying Abyss; once entering its domain, one’s Divine Soul becomes disoriented, turning them mad.

However, after Ye Xuan entered the God Burying Abyss, absolutely nothing happened to him.

Ye Xuan knew what caused this.

It was because the Monster Body he possessed sealed his Human Soul within his body, making even the God Burying Abyss unable to affect his Soul.

This was exactly why he could move freely in and out of the God Burying Abyss.

It was on that occasion that he obtained a Divine Object in the God Burying Abyss, which tremendously increased his Soul Power.

He did not consume that Divine Object completely but let it continue growing within the God Burying Abyss, saving it for later use.

During his way, Ye Xuan had visited it to check; the Divine Object had not been taken by anyone and still remained inside the God Burying Abyss.

But that was the last time he visited Hengduan Mountain, which was a long, long time ago.

He did not know if the Divine Object was still there.

Ye Xuan was unsure.

If it was not there, he could only return the same way and go back to Qiankun Palace to continue his closed-door cultivation.

However, the recovery of his strength would definitely not be as fast as using that Divine Object.

That is inevitable.

Arriving outside the God Burying Abyss, Ye Xuan did not immediately enter.

He was now back within his own original body, not the immortal and undying Monster Body as before. If he were to go directly, he would still be influenced by the God Burying Abyss.

Ye Xuan began by circling around the God Burying Abyss and eventually chose an entrance to enter.

The God Burying Abyss is a black Abyss, standing on the edge, one can’t help but feel a sense of dread.

It seemed like the dark gaping mouth of a monster, ready to swallow everything.

Ye Xuan made his descent from a corner, following a vine all the way down.

As he went deeper, the light seemed to be swallowed up, replaced only by endless darkness and chilling silence.

It was as if he had stepped into another world.

But it wasn’t so, it was merely because he entered the interior of the God Burying Abyss.

He descended for at least a hundred thousand feet before reaching the bottom.

Once his feet touched the ground, Ye Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed.

Someone had been here.

Ye Xuan looked ahead, into the darkness.

However, with the power of Emperor Soul and his immense Perception, he was keenly aware of every little movement in his surroundings.

He clearly sensed that someone’s presence had been her recently.

"Corpse Carriers?"

After carefully investigating, Ye Xuan identified the origin of the visitor.

It was indeed the Corpse Carriers from within Hengduan Mountain.

Surprisingly, it was the Corpse Carriers again, which was unexpected.

But it also made sense.

After all, the Corpse Carriers have always been in Hengduan Mountain, planning to reach the God Burying Abyss was not something unforeseen.

As long as they are not here for the Myriad Spirit Milk, then it would be easier to handle.

But if it were also for the Myriad Spirit Milk, Ye Xuan would not yield in the slightest.

That Myriad Spirit Milk—Ye Xuan had to obtain it.

Ye Xuan, stepping with the Eight Diagrams Steps, moved like a phantom hidden in the dark, continuing forward.

Meanwhile, in a deeper part of the God Burying Abyss, there was also a group of people moving forward at a snail’s pace.

This group emanated a strong corpse energy, exactly as Ye Xuan had expected; they were indeed the Corpse Carriers from Hengduan Mountain.

However, compared to Ye Xuan’s speed, theirs was much slower; they moved extremely slowly, each step taken with grave expressions and a hint of nervousness, as if fearing that their next step might trigger the Abyss’s backlash.

This group of Corpse Carriers consisted of five men, including two elderly men and three middle-aged ones, their realms indiscernible.

This was a normal phenomenon among Corpse Carriers.

Unless the Corpse Carriers willingly revealed their strength, it was impossible to gauge it.

After all, the method of their cultivation tremendously differed from normal cultivation.

"How much further?"

The middle-aged man in a hemp robe, who was walking at the rear and had a square face but lacked any robust masculinity and instead looked pale, asked.

This also matched the characteristics of Corpse Carriers.

He was now inquiring aloud.

"A little over five hundred meters," whispered the elderly man in a hemp robe walking in the front.

"Five hundred meters."

Upon hearing this, the group was not overly pleased but instead appeared rather bitter.

Five hundred meters.

If outside, they could reach that distance in an instant.

But here in the God Burying Abyss, they had to take each step with extreme caution.

Five hundred meters might require at least three to five more days.

However, compared to the earlier part of their journey, they could accept this much.

The previous ten thousand meters had driven five out of their original group of ten insane.

Three ran back in sheer madness, while two others died tragically within the Abyss.

This undoubtedly added immense pressure on the remaining five to continue onward.

"I wonder if it’s really true. If we could really obtain that thing, perhaps we’d gain the upper hand against those Paper Macher folks..." the man at the rear muttered.

Within Hengduan Mountain, all beings knew that besides Corpse Carriers, there were also Paper Machers.

Though there was no great enmity between the two, friction was common.

The Corpse Carriers had always been at a disadvantage, which had left them quite frustrated.

Not long ago, an elderly predecessor of the Corpse Carriers, carrying an ancient corpse, received crucial information.

Within the God Burying Abyss, there resided a Divine Object that could greatly enhance one’s strength without any drawbacks.

Upon receiving this information, the leading experts among the Corpse Carriers began to take action.

Having planned for many years, they had finally made their way into the depths of the God Burying Abyss.

"Stay alert, the God Burying Abyss is not like other dangerous places outside. The powers here can disrupt the Divine Soul. Should you fall victim, I need not explain the consequences..." the second elderly man in a hemp robe warned sharply from the front.

The closer they got to their goal, the more vigilant they had to be.

They absolutely could not act recklessly.

Upon hearing this, the three at the back nodded, refocused their minds, and followed the steps of the person in front, moving slowly forward.

"Hm?!"

Just then, the middle-aged man at the rear’s expression subtly changed.

"What’s wrong?" a person from the front asked as he turned around.

"It seems like someone is coming!" said the middle-aged man at the rear, his expression growing more solemn.

"Could it be those Paper Macher fellows?" Their expressions darkened slightly.

"How could they have known?"

"Let’s not act rashly," whispered the elderly man at the very front.

The group froze in place, concealing their breaths, as if they were corpses.

From behind, footsteps approached.

They could now hear the approaching footsteps.

What alarmed them was the very fast pace of the newcomer, almost as if sprinting.

And it seemed there was only one person?

The five Corpse Carriers dared not even breathe, waiting in silence.

Moments later.

A young man in a black robe appeared before them, calmly gazing at them.

The five Corpse Carriers nearly had their scalps explode as they intently watched the young man in the black robe, as if facing a formidable enemy.
