Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 33: The world in the well

Views:

There is a warm breeze under the clear sky.

Sun Bin looked at the countless flashing symbols, like the sun, moon and stars in the dazzling galaxy, escaping along Pang Lin's white lotus-like arm towards her heart.

"The Heavenly Phoenix is infusing His inheritance."

Sun Bin sat up with difficulty, his face still blank, looking at Pang Lin in disbelief.

"Maybe I've been doing it wrong all along."

The dull look on his face turned into a mixture of laughter and tears, and he shook his head slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that when they ascended to the upper realm as Qingjiu, the long-lost remains of the Heavenly Phoenix suddenly changed, and a piece of the bright divine bone stabbed Qingjiu, which was not an accident at all.

It’s because Tian Feng sensed Pang Lin!

Carrying the divine bone that inherits life, shooting the green eagle is just a side job.

Killing Qingjiu is not the real purpose of Tianfeng Divine Bone at all. His real purpose is to make Pang Lin accept the inheritance from him just like now!

"This girl's future is limitless!"

Sun Bin's eyes became extremely fiery and his heart was pounding as he realized that he had really picked up a treasure on this trip to the lower world.

"call!"

Countless images of light and shadow flowed into Pang Lin's body through the white bone and slowly gathered in her heart.

Pang Lin felt like there was a vast treasure trove of knowledge in her heart, waiting for her to discover.

Pang Lin, who thought he could not escape this disaster and was destined to be stabbed by Phoenix Bone, pointed his finger at the floating and motionless Yingying Divine Bone.

The colorful dots of light inside were still disappearing, and she suddenly had a mysterious feeling... that the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bone was a part of her.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the numerous shining marks hidden deep within the divine bones had disappeared into her heart.

Pang Lin did not feel any discomfort. She grabbed the suspended divine bone in her hand and held it upright to examine it.

When she held the divine bone, she saw dozens of tiny spots of light inside, scattered in different areas of the bones, and moving at an extremely imperceptible amplitude.

She placed her palms close to the spots of light, and suddenly felt that each moving spot of light symbolized a living being.

A strange word gushed out from her heart that had become like glass crystal—"Divine Guard."

She looked surprised and scratched her head involuntarily, wondering what "Divine Guard" specifically represented.

Soon, more knowledge about the "Divine Guards" naturally emerged from her heart.

She immediately knew that every moving spot of light was a "divine guard" that belonged to her alone.

Through the divine bones, she can see through the movements of every "Divine Guard", give orders to the "Divine Guards" scattered all over the place, and even decide the life or death of the "Divine Guards" with a single thought!

The "Divine Guards" will become her eyes in the future and her most loyal followers, and will never disobey her orders.

To many "Divine Guards", she is the supreme being and the one that all "Divine Guards" must protect throughout their lives.

"Pang Ya... Miss Pang, what did you see through this divine bone?"

Sun Bin's voice trembled slightly, and he naturally used honorifics to address her, no longer calling her "girl".

"There are vast memories of light and shadow, flowing into my... heart."

Pang Lin pointed blankly at his chest, then pointed at the tiny sparkles of light scattered in different areas among the upright bones, and said, "The faint lights inside seem to be called Divine Guards. They are scattered in various places, and seem to be loyal to me forever."

"Divine Guards! Those are the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Guards!"

Sun Bin shouted in a deep voice.

He no longer had any doubts, and a smile of joy appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Miss Pang, for receiving the favor of the Heavenly Phoenix and being infused with the inheritance of life and secret techniques by Him!"

Moving a little closer, Sun Bin pointed at the bone that was only as long as his arm and was held vertically by Pang Lin, and explained seriously:

"Every point of light you see corresponds to a living Phoenix Guard. They will always be loyal to you because you can decide their life and death!"

"Now they are scattered in various levels, either in the third realm or the fourth realm, but they will all be dispatched by you in the end."

Sun Bin was extremely envious, but he didn't even dare to think of getting involved, for fear of being assassinated by Shen Gu at will.

Pang Lin said blankly, "I suddenly have so many subordinates?"

"Well, that's the truth. Miss Pang, you used to live in..."

Sun Bin pointed to a location on the sacred bone.

There are two spots of light there.

One of them is brighter, while the other one is gradually dimming, as if it is being refined and is about to disappear.

"This should be the Cenji Mountain Range. A powerful Phoenix Guard has formed here, and another one... I don't understand."

Sun Bin said doubtfully.

Pang Lin's horizons were broadened by these words. Through Sun Bin's gestures, she suddenly understood what the world she lived in was like.

She asked curiously, "Senior Sun, why is our world like a well?"

"Yes, like a well."

Sun Bin immediately gave his affirmation.

"There is a strange fog that permeates the well wall forever. We call the well wall the boundary wall."

"We have only explored the fifth layer so far, which is a land of eternal darkness."

"No one knows whether there is a sixth layer below the fifth layer. Because no living person or creature can reappear in the world after falling below the fifth layer."

"As for above us..."

Sun Bin pointed to the sky.

Pang Lin looked up and saw a sun hanging high in the sky, the clear sky under the sun, and the other four continents.

"Those four continents are in the so-called First Realm, which is also the place closest to the sky."

"They are called East Land, South Abyss, West Land and North Ruins, and they are located in the four corners of the First Realm. And the sect you are going to next is called Pure Land, and it is in West Land."

"With the inheritance of the Heavenly Phoenix, you can compete with the most dazzling cultivation geniuses from all the forces in the First Realm."

"I'll benefit from you, too."

Pang Lin, who was favored by the Heavenly Phoenix, looked at the sun on the "wellhead" and the four continents under the sun. He held a divine bone infused with inheritance and said, "I want my brother to come up too."

Sun Bin laughed and said, "Miss Pang, with the favor of the Heavenly Phoenix, you will be able to enter the Profound Cave Realm in less than a hundred years!"

"Pure Land will do everything it can to cultivate you. You will be the brightest rising star in this world!"

"Don't worry, as long as you live well, your brother will be able to benefit from your presence and be taken up by the Pure Land."

He secretly felt fortunate that he had given Pang Jian the "Hutian Yangqi Jue" that he had obtained from a forbidden area, and was fortunate that Pang Jian did not say anything bad to him.

"If my strength can benefit my brother, then I will work hard to practice."

Pang Lin tightly grasped the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bone.

The fourth realm.

Silent mountains.

Pang Jian, who had fainted, had no idea that his beloved sister had received tremendous blessings and had ascended to the dreamland of all practitioners in this world without having to do anything.

At this moment he is still struggling in the underworld.

The pain was like scraping bones, which sometimes woke him up in the dark stone path at the bottom of the mountain, and sometimes made him faint from the pain.

This happens over and over again.

Faintly, he saw burning blood-red phoenixes soaring deep in his bones and beating his bones.

The blood-colored phoenixes were exactly the same as the ones that flew out of the humanoid monster. They seemed to have been completely tamed and refined, without their own spiritual consciousness, and only pure blazing energy remained.

When he was awakened by the pain, he felt that this time the bone tempering utilized the blood-colored phoenix that was refined by the bronze plate.

However, the drop of phoenix marrow condensed from the giant python at the bottom of the pond that was first absorbed by the bronze plate seemed to have not been completely refined yet, and no magical power flowed out from the bronze plate.

However, the strange energy that emerged from smelting the blood-colored phoenix was enough to make him suffer terribly.

He woke up in pain and fainted again countless times before the terrifying power that was raging within his bones finally slowly faded away.

By this time, his food had long been exhausted, but he suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger. He didn't even want to feel the current situation and was determined to find food to fill his stomach.

Holding the dragon-patterned spear, he continued moving forward in the dark stone path.

After a long time, he suddenly saw a ray of light. He rushed to the light and saw a narrow crack in the stone.

He immediately used the dragon-patterned spear to chisel the stone. The powerful divine power that suddenly emerged in his hands allowed him to pierce the stones on both sides of the crack like piercing a block of tofu, cracking them.

When the crack in the rock became wide enough, he successfully left the dark stone path and entered another area of water.

He saw many fish swimming in the water, as well as sparse aquatic plants, and the bottom of the water was full of life.

This is a place completely different from the dead black pool.

“There are fish!”

Without thinking twice, Pang Jian, who was almost overwhelmed by hunger, held up the dragon-patterned spear under the water and began a frantic fishing operation.

Lake surface.

On the grass on the shore, a huge golden chariot was scattered in pieces.

The visitors from the He and Su families surrounded the sedan chair and were checking the condition inside, but they did not find the remains of the Galaxy Alliance monks.

"The people from the Galaxy Alliance in the upper realm didn't even leave a single corpse. Did they eat all their bones?"

He Rong, who had always been cautious, stayed away from the broken chariot from the Galaxy Alliance and let the servants of the clan investigate.

He and Su Yuntian from the Su family stayed by the lake and talked, both of them looked quite solemn.

Su Yuntian, who was not very tall and had a rather handsome appearance, frowned and said, "The Dong family, Zhou family, Ning family, and Shangguan family have all arranged teams to come here. We have been here for a while, but we haven't met anyone from the other families. I wonder if they have discovered anything."

In the ranking of the seven great families, the He family and the Su family are at the bottom. These two families came together from the beginning on this trip.

They searched the Silent Mountains for a while but didn't find much, nor did they encounter any corpses or living people from the upper world.

They did not encounter any danger along the way and the journey was incredibly smooth.

This golden chariot from the Galaxy Alliance was what they had just discovered, but they did not see anyone from the Galaxy Alliance.

Guarding the cracked golden chariot, they thought about waiting for a while to see if anyone else would come.

"ah!"

While the two were talking, a young girl suddenly emerged from the lake and screamed in panic.

"There's something at the bottom of the lake!"

Su Meng, a girl who always loved cleanliness, hurriedly put on her underwear underwater and swam to the surface of the lake anxiously, shouting, "I saw something at the bottom of the lake, and it was killing the fish below!"

"Why don't you come up quickly!"

Su Yuntian, who cherished his daughter extremely much, waved his hands vigorously at the lakeside, urging the girl to get ashore quickly.

Killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he quietly took out his spiritual weapon, ready to kill any stranger he saw.

"Don't be impulsive, Brother Su. The people below may be from the Galaxy Alliance!"

He Rong suddenly remembered this and hurriedly advised: "You better be careful and don't do anything rash!"

"Okay, I got it!"
