Chapter 748: Chapter 116: Exploring the Teleportation Array (Part 3)

By the end of the fifth year, his third Divine Treasure had already approached Minor Achievement.

The physique also successfully broke through to the Late Tier Three Body Refining level.

Now, with just the strength of his physical body, he can withstand the full force of a Fourth Grade Magical Treasure’s attack.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

The commerce in the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, under Tong Yaoyao’s management, became increasingly prosperous.

The Golden Core Ceremony of Ning Sujin that year has long become a thing of the past, with its aftermath completely dissipated.

And Ning Sujin’s Early Golden Core Stage realm also solidified completely over these five years.

The understanding of the Chaos Technique grew deeper, the Nascent Soul-level Divine Soul became more refined, and the ability to divine heavenly secrets strengthened a bit more.

On this day, the sky was clear and bright.

Li Ji’an, accompanied by Ning Sujin, left the Dao Field and headed towards the Floating Immortal City of the Five Blessings Commerce Association.

The news had already been spread beforehand, with Meng Tingyi personally leading several elders of the Meng Family, waiting at the city gate of the Floating Immortal City.

Upon seeing Li Ji’an and Ning Sujin arrive, Meng Tingyi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and greeted them with the utmost respect: “Welcome Chang’an Honored Guest and Yong’an Fairy.”

The several elders of the Meng Family behind him also bowed and saluted, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

Li Ji’an nodded slightly and spoke directly: “President Meng, I have a request today.”

“My Lord, please feel free to instruct us,” Meng Tingyi quickly replied, “Our Five Blessings Commerce Association exists to fully assist My Lord.”

“I want to explore the underground abyss beneath the Floating Immortal City.”

Li Ji’an straightforwardly stated his intention.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tingyi’s smile instantly froze, and he showed some difficulty.

He hesitated for a moment, but then said honestly:

“For years, we’ve suspected that there’s an opportunity leading to the outside world down below, but the abyss within is extremely perilous.”

“Below the abyss, the Spiritual Qi is insanely turbulent and it is unfathomable.”

“Over the years, several later-stage Core Formation Ascendants from our Commerce Association have attempted to delve deeply.”

“But results were all that they were repelled by the turbulent Spiritual Qi, not only unable to penetrate deeper but damaging their foundations, and they have yet to recover.”

“We’ve also tried sending Spirit Pets in, but even Tier Three Spirit Pets can’t stay in the abyss for long before they become panic-stricken and flee due to the Spiritual Qi’s impact.”

Li Ji’an had already anticipated this, so he wasn’t surprised.

He raised his hand and with a flash of light, a red-golden figure leaped out from the Spirit Pet Bag—it was Gugu.

As soon as Gugu appeared, it curiously blinked its large eyes, inspecting the surroundings.

“Let it try,” Li Ji’an said.

Meng Tingyi nodded and then accompanied Li Ji’an to Meng Tingzhen’s Dao Field, where some of the Meng Family’s radicals had conspired to open the underground palace beneath the abyss.

Years ago, it was from here that Meng Tingzhen forcibly transported Li Ji’an down to the underground palace.

That place isn’t too far from the bottom of the abyss.

However, after handling the Meng Tingzhen incident last time, Li Ji’an had not properly explored the depth at the mouth of the underground palace.

Upon arriving here again, the group went straight to the wall opening of the underground palace.

This area is shrouded by a heavy Restriction to prevent the turbulent Spiritual Qi from the abyss from flooding in.

Li Ji’an subsequently waved his hand to open a breach in the Restriction.

A violently extreme Spiritual Qi mixed with a faint odor instantly surged forth.

Gugu curiously ventured forward and neared the opening.

The violent Spiritual Qi then came flooding in like a tide, enveloping it instantly.

It shrieked, curled up its limbs, and turned to hide behind Li Ji’an, daring not to approach again.

“It’s really impossible,” Meng Tingyi sighed, considering that Demon Beasts often originate from places where Spiritual Qi is chaotic and are more adept at accepting it.

“Even Tier Three Spirit Pets can’t withstand it; ordinary cultivators certainly can’t venture deeper.”

Just then, Ning Sujin stepped forward and came to the opening of the Restriction at the abyss entrance.

Without any hesitation, the Chaos Qi from her Dantian slowly surged forth, surrounding her.

A strange phenomenon occurred.

Those originally violent Spiritual Qi, seemingly wanting to devour everything, instantly became docile upon encountering the Chaos Qi around Ning Sujin.

They seemed to find a home, firmly drawn by the Chaos Qi, slowly merging into Ning Sujin’s body.

Ning Sujin’s expression was calm, without any discomfort.

It seemed as if she was absorbing not violent Spiritual Qi, but the purest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

“This…,” Meng Tingyi was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

How many years has it been?

How many Ascendant Tributors have failed to achieve what was effortlessly accomplished by an early-stage Female Cultivator?

This Chaos Qi, what kind of heaven-defying Cultivation Technique is it?

Li Ji’an’s eyes brightened slightly.

The last trace of worry in his heart was completely dispelled.

Ning Sujin’s “Profound Yuan Chaos Scripture” can indeed refine such violent Spiritual Qi and demonic energy.

With her presence, exploring the underground abyss for the potential external opportunities seems much more assured.
