Chapter 422: 398: The True Cauldron Hidden in the Lost City
“This City of the Giant Eye, it is said, was established by a predecessor who explored the abyss. He slew a monster that emerged from the depths, took its eyeball, embedded it into the cliff, and hollowed it out to build the city.”
“The giant eye can peer into the extreme depths below, effectively monitoring any unusual movements in the Deep Abyss of Cangwu.”
The three of them slowly descended beside the City of the Giant Eye, their hearts filled with unspeakable awe.
“Just an eyeball, yet it’s of such grand scale.”
“It’s hard to imagine just how enormous the monster that emerged from the depths of the Cangwu Abyss was.”
The moment their bodies crossed the eighty-thousand-foot boundary.
Xiao Heng again felt his strength diminished somewhat.
“Even in the final stage of energy refining, one can no longer stand here.”
“Only with the strength of the early phase of foundation establishment, can you barely continue to descend.”
The pressure brought about by the abyss started to show.
“The third layer does not span as extensive as Spirit Language Forest, it is just between an eighty-thousand-foot depth and a hundred-thousand-foot depth.”
“But the level of danger is several times higher.”
As they continued to descend, from afar, Xiao Heng and the others began to hear a booming sound faintly coming from below.
Gazing into the distance, Xiao Heng spotted two enormous figures within the vast white mist, standing in the air, armed with sharp weapons, fighting against each other.
“The third layer, Puppet Canyon.”
“There are two vast stone-cast puppets from the ancient times battling in this area.”
“The puppets exist in strange states between real and unreal. If you fly close to investigate, they seem like phantoms, untouchable.”
“But their impact on the surrounding area is very much real.”
“The puppets are nearly twenty-thousand feet tall, and their power is said to be close to the Unity-Path.”
“Even from a distance, one could be injured by the aftermath of their battle.”
Boom! Boom!
In the misty white fog, the images of the two stone puppets flickered in and out of sight.
The three of them gazed at the surreal scene in a daze.
After a long time, Xiao Heng broke the silence: “Alright, let’s continue our descent.”
“Take caution above all else.”
During the descent, one must always pay attention to the movements of the two giant stone puppets, avoiding potential energy shockwaves.
The strength of the various unusual beings that appear in the midst of the cloud and fog is increasingly formidable.
Thus, their journey becomes ever slower.
They took a full two days to reach the lower boundary of Puppet Canyon.
“The fourth layer is just ahead.”
“The good news is, it seems that the real Medicine King Cauldron is not far below.”
Xiao Heng once again manipulated the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron, sensed for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief.
“That being said, we cannot let our guard down.”
Zhang Haobo furrowed his eyebrows and communicated through a voice transmission.
“Alright, let’s get going. I can hardly wait to see that baby.” Su Xiaomei curled her lips and took the lead in entering the fourth layer.
There is no foothold provided for cultivators between the third and fourth layers.
Only a bright red line carved into the cliff marks the boundary.
“The fourth layer, Lost Enigmatic City.”
“Below a hundred thousand feet to thirteen thousand feet.”
Xiao Heng checked his condition and frowned slightly.
Having a substantial amount of strength equivalent to an early phase of foundation establishment cultivator cut out of thin air, he began to perceive a notable impact.
He changed his flight’s direction, no longer descending vertically.
He was instead flying toward the center of the Lost Enigmatic City.
Countless building ruins, haphazardly floating in the air.
It was as if an apocalyptic disaster had descended, with broken remnants of relics everywhere.
No remains, no leftover items.
Only the skeletal remain of the buildings, silently lying in this space, recounting their past encounters.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
The repetitive sight of ruins brought a sense of oppression.
Xiao Heng and the others had no choice but to pull themselves together.
That’s because, in the Lost Enigmatic City, not only would unknown stone creatures suddenly jump out and attack at any moment.V/IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
There may also be cultivators with ill-intentions hiding in the shadows, planning surprise attacks.
The presence of Immortal Subduing Force and the chaotic ruins provided them with the best hiding spots.
If one far outlasted the besieged stone beasts until both sides were wounded, the chance of success would greatly increase.
Underneath the abyss, the signs of a cultivator’s demise were hard to detect.
After getting what they wanted, they could flee far away, achieving it without anyone knowing.
It is not unusual for cultivators to mysteriously disappear in this Lost Enigmatic City.
Xiao Heng and his companions penetrated the ruins, making their way toward the location of the actual Medicine King Cauldron.
As expected, they were attacked twice by other cultivators.
However, these enemies were just mere bit players.
Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo, who managed to escape unscathed from the onslaught of thousands of Faceless Blood Face cultivators in the Ruin of Chaoyuan Sect, would hardly be bothered by these people.
Without much effort, they easily slaughtered these individuals.
After wiping out two groups and showcasing their strength, things finally quieted down a bit.
“It seems like we have a tail behind us.”
Zhang Haobo warned.
“I will go kill them.” Su Xiaomei raised her eyebrows, a flash of red in her eyes, ready to turn around and take action.
“No! We’re here to find the Medicine King Cauldron, not to kill.” Xiao Heng hurriedly dissuaded her.
“It’s not good to attract attention.”
“We should just shake them off.”
Having said that, the three of them suddenly accelerated.
They zigzagged their way around the ruins.
After spending half a day, they finally lost their pursuers.
“Let’s go!”
Zhang Haobo performed a Taoist technique to conceal their auras.
Then they headed straight for the real Medicine King Cauldron.
After flying for half a day, they finally reached the location indicated by their senses.
“Huh?!”
Xiao Heng looked around in confusion, not seeing any sign of the real Medicine King Cauldron.
“But it should be right here.”
“We should split up and search.”
Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo nodded and dispersed.
It didn’t take long.
“Nothing?”
Xiao Heng furrowed his brows.
“That’s not right.”
Not willing to give up, Xiao Heng searched again.
Still, he found nothing.
Su Xiaomei took out the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron from her Storage Ring and held it in her hand, trying to sense the Cauldron again.
Still, there was no change.
“What do we do now?”
After a futile attempt, the three of them gathered together again to discuss.
“This is strange.”
“According to my senses, the real Medicine King Cauldron should be right here, but there’s no trace of it.”
Xiao Heng surveyed the surroundings, his face full of confusion.
“Maybe it’s hidden.”
Zhang Haobo narrowed his eyes, suddenly suggesting.
Having said that, he activated his Spiritual Power, aiming at the location where the Medicine King Cauldron should be, and sent out a Spiritual Blade.
As if hitting something, the air distorted for an instant.
The Spiritual Blade disappeared silently.
Then the distorted landscape returned to normal.
“Wow! So that’s it!”
Su Xiaomei clapped her hands excitedly.
She flew towards the point of abnormality.
But it seemed like an illusion, she went right through without any obstruction.
Not willing to give up, Su Xiaomei tried several times but the result was the same.
“This is so frustrating, what is going on?!”
Xiao Heng, however, was more composed. He carefully touched the nonexistent barrier with his hand.
“The Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron is the key to enter the Medicine King Cauldron.”
Xiao Heng mused.
“This Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron, it can accommodate people, right?”
He suddenly asked.
