Chapter 816 - 334: Guided by the Giant Turtle, Chu Ning Enters the Abyss

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you don’t need to reply; your Divine Sense is insufficient, and if you communicate through it, others might overhear."

"Wait until I’m finished, if you agree, you only need to open and speak your identity as a Changkong Hall cultivator."

Speaking thus, Shang Song paused slightly and continued:

"The Void Abyss indeed contains some opportunities, but with your current cultivation level, even if you enter, it’s hard to obtain many good things.

Moreover, even if you gain something, many Nascent Soul cultivators will likely be watching you on the way out, causing trouble instead."

"The Void Abyss has appeared, but it will take a little while to truly open. You can ponder for a moment and decide before it formally opens."

After saying this, Shang Song no longer spoke.

But when Chu Ning looked over, this Nascent Soul cultivator from Changkong Hall smiled and nodded.

Chu Ning withdrew his gaze, his expression calm, keeping silent.

At this moment, he continued communicating with the giant turtle in the Spirit Beast Bag.

"Boy, unless you don’t mind living dangerously, don’t agree with that guy."

"I remember five or six thousand years ago, there was a Golden Core cultivator in your situation, who entered the Void Abyss with several Nascent Soul cultivators. As soon as they entered, they were immediately killed."

The giant turtle’s voice was still slow.

But upon hearing this, Chu Ning was greatly surprised, and couldn’t help using Divine Sense to ask inside the Spirit Beast Bag:

"Elder Turtle, can you listen to that Changkong Hall person’s telepathy just now?"

"What’s so strange about it? I can hear him. Right now, that Old Demon Qu you talk about is discussing an alliance with Sect Leader Tantai."

"Also, that Nascent Soul Late Stage Hall Master from Changkong Hall just received a telepathy from that guy who spoke to you, planning to come after me, the old turtle."

"Three hundred years ago when he came in, he had his eyes on me, didn’t expect he’s still not giving up."

"Ah, should’ve left him in that Void Abyss back then."

Hearing this, Chu Ning was complicated inside.

If everything is truly as Elder Turtle said, then there’s a chance for him to gain great opportunities.

This giant turtle has been in the Void Abyss for countless millennia, making it the most familiar entity within.

If he’s the first to enter, and with this old turtle’s guidance, gaining benefits and safely retreating might not be difficult.

Thinking this, Chu Ning transmitted through telepathy again:

"Elder Turtle, is there anything I can do to help you after entering the Void Abyss?"

"What if these Nascent Soul cultivators come to trouble me after we enter?"

"Eh, you little rascal, you’re quite clever." The giant turtle had a hint of surprise in his tone.

"After you enter, you can help me with some small matters, which will also be an opportunity for you."

"As for danger and trouble?"

"Rest assured, with me here, no one can cause trouble for you inside the Void Abyss."

"As for leaving the Void Abyss, just leave the Northern Cold Land, and you’d have nothing to fear from them."

"Leave the Northern Cold?" Chu Ning’s eyes lit up at these words.

He was about to ask the giant turtle if he knew a way to leave the Northern Cold Land for other continents.

"The Void Abyss has opened!"

At this moment, several cries suddenly rang out.

Raising his head to look, Chu Ning indeed saw a huge abyss on the sea surface ahead, with an opening revealed at this moment.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze unconsciously fell on Chu Ning.

Lu Xuedao’s voice resonated once again.

"This little friend, the Void Abyss has opened, you may enter."

Perhaps Shang Song telepathically communicated something to the other party, Lu Xuedao spoke while ambiguously expecting something as he looked at Chu Ning.

At this moment, Chu Ning feigned ignorance regarding this look.

Between the Changkong Hall and this giant turtle, after careful consideration, Chu Ning found the choice of the giant turtle more reliable.

At least during this time, the giant turtle hadn’t done anything unfavorable to him.

While with Changkong Hall, he had little interaction.

Especially with Lu Xuedao, whom he had never encountered.

Placing his life on the hands of few people was far too risky.

Of two evils, choose the lesser.

What’s more, following the giant turtle’s advice might not be harmful.

Chu Ning jumped out from the crowd and then turned around, slightly cupping his hands towards everyone.

"If that’s the case, esteemed seniors, then I’ll go ahead and scout the way.

However, let me make it clear, juniors truly have no great desire for the treasures in this Void Abyss; I only wish to enter and leave safely.

I hope all esteemed seniors will assist in this."

After speaking, Chu Ning cupped his hands once more, then turned and used Divine Wind Escape to fly towards the entrance of the great abyss.

Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of the many cultivators varied.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators from Changkong Hall saw Chu Ning actually responding alone by flying towards the abyss entrance and were slightly shocked.

Lu Xuedao and Shang Song exchanged a glance, their brows slightly furrowing.

However, the tone in their voices did not fluctuate at all.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you have a quarter of an hour after entering the Void Abyss.

After a quarter of an hour, we shall enter."

As Lu Xuedao spoke these words, none of the other Nascent Soul cultivators expressed any other opinions.

In everyone’s mind, having Chu Ning, a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, enter first was clearly more acceptable than the Nascent Soul cultivators entering first.

And when the Hall Master of Changkong Hall called out Chu Ning’s identity, some cultivators immediately inquired about who this Fellow Daoist Chu was.

Upon hearing that he was indeed Chu Ning, who had made a remarkable impression at the entrance of Snow Mist Valley years ago.

The Nascent Soul cultivators felt more at ease.

In those years, after Chu Ning had a moment of fame, it led some sects to investigate his background.

The conclusion was that, although Chu Ning appeared highly mysterious, he was undoubtedly a Loose Cultivator without any background.

Such a Golden Core Independent Cultivator, no matter how adept, once inside the Void Abyss, can accomplish what?

Even if he enters first and has a quarter of an hour, he will naturally be caught up by the Nascent Soul cultivators.

By then, whatever gains there are will be merely handed over.

Meanwhile, Chu Ning, who had already flown to the abyss entrance, felt slightly amazed.

A quarter of an hour.

Although he did not know the original reason for this agreement in Northern Cold Land, it was an established custom, and some special event must have occurred initially.

For Chu Ning, this meant he had a quarter of an hour to be alone in the Void Abyss.

Thinking this, Chu Ning, already at the entrance of the Void Abyss, did not hesitate any longer and flew straight in.

In view was a long abyss, identical to what was seen externally, at least two hundred miles long.

"Elder Turtle, are there any good things in this abyss?"

While releasing Bai Ling from the Spirit Beast Bag to stand on his shoulder, Chu Ning spoke directly.

Bai Ling, upon hearing Chu Ning’s question, had a surprised look in her eyes.

More surprisingly, in the next moment, an ancient voice leisurely replied.

"No! Initially, many human cultivators wasted time here, but later learned, and basically no longer linger here.

If you wish to truly find some good things before they come in, fly as fast as you can."

Upon hearing Elder Turtle’s words, Chu Ning did not hesitate and quickly switched from Divine Wind Escape to Phantom Escape.

With his silhouette continuously flashing, he flew deeply into the abyss.

At this moment, he did not even consider the consumption of Magical Power.

Of course, most importantly, in his Storage Bag, there were still dozens of drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk.

While flying, Chu Ning swiftly took out a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag.

It was the map of the Void Abyss he had obtained from Black Death Demon Situ Yan’s hand.

Back then, Chu Ning had indeed glanced briefly but never closely examined it.

Now, taking it out, he quickly examined it with his Divine Sense while flying.

Although Elder Turtle guided, Chu Ning still wished to have an understanding of his surroundings to feel more at ease.

The speed of Phantom Escape was more than twice as fast as Divine Wind Escape, so two hundred miles took only a moment for Chu Ning.

After crossing the two hundred miles of the abyss, Chu Ning found himself standing at the mid-hillside of a giant mountain.

In front of him were three paths.

Comparing the map in his hand, Chu Ning found the three paths corresponded to the Divine Spring Pool, Void Hall, and Sumeru Mountain.

Although the map was marked with these three place names, it did not indicate what these places were for.

Feeling puzzled, Chu Ning decided not to dwell on it and directly asked:

"Elder Turtle, which place should I head to now?"
