Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 319 - 272: Reaching the Other Shore, Returning to the Ancient Abyss! (Double-Length)
They rushed out, and the other shore was within sight!
"It’s really not easy..." Li Jinyu clicked his tongue.
"If it wasn’t for you, Song Changming, I think the chances of coming here in this life would be very slim."
However, the fact was that he had already chosen Song Changming long before, rather than Song Changming inviting him.
It was clear that back then he had already foreseen that the only one in this world who could take him to the Ancient Abyss Country was Song Changming.
Today’s opportunity can be said to be entirely earned by himself.
Su Qingqing and Song Ping’an curiously observed the purple-golden lotus fire floating around.
Song Changming usually did not often reveal his powerful Innate Qi Aura, so even those closest to Song Changming rarely saw the legendary Innate Qi Aura.
Let alone this manifested purple-golden lotus fire.
In the eyes of martial artists with high cultivation, this lotus fire was like a spectacularly beautiful treasure, dazzling and fascinating.
Beside them, the two dogs, Dahuang and White, showed little interest in the lotus fire, instead, they kept staring at the pitch-black depths of the abyss below, occasionally revealing hints of fearful trepidation hidden behind their fierce facade.
Song Changming also noticed this and recalled the gigantic shadow seen previously at the bottom of the abyss.
Perhaps the two dogs also sensed the terrifying existence below that made them afraid.
However, today there was no thunder to illuminate the abyss, so the gigantic shadow was not visible.
The last few kilometers passed in an instant.
The group stepped on solid ground, still feeling a bit dazed.
Just like that, they reached the border of the Ancient Abyss Country.
The entire crossing of the abyss was not long, or perhaps it could be described as brief.
Having passed the most difficult hurdle, the rest was just traveling.
"Let’s go." Song Changming stepped forward, walking and saying, "If we don’t hurry, perhaps later some local friends will give us a send-off."
"Hmm?" Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment.
In the next moment, sounds came from the abyss behind, rustling and growing increasingly intense, making one feel inexplicably apprehensive.
"Hurry up!" Song Ping’an and Su Qingqing turned pale, Song Ping’an conveniently tossed Li Jinyu forward.
Dahuang leaped and caught Li Jinyu in mid-air, and the three people and two dogs sprinted ahead.
Soon, Gluttonous Beasts swarmed in, crawling out of the abyss continuously.
Clearly, the old friends Song Changming spoke of were them.
In fact, for Song Changming, they really were old friends; he encountered a group nearly every time he came to the Abyssal Land.
Previously, Su Qingqing and Song Ping’an together managed to take down an ordinary Gluttonous Beast, but now this group on the other shore consisted of dozens of stronger elite beasts.
Faced with them, they could only choose to run away.
"You really don’t miss a beat..." Song Changming was not flustered, watching the looming beasts draw ever closer, he raised his hand and slashed.
In the past, against this elite-level group of Gluttonous Beasts, the slash with Inner Qi was not powerful enough to destroy them.
Now, he slashed again with Innate Qi Aura.
This time, the Purple Gold Fire swept through, annihilating the Gluttonous Beasts like a destructive torrent.
The Sword Qi dissipated, and before them lay cracked skeletal remains, horrifying to behold.
Some Gluttonous Beasts in the abyss hadn’t emerged yet; they avoided the disaster.
Witnessing the carnage, the heads they had cautiously poked out dared not venture further, silently retreating back.
In the presence of the current Song Changming, they were truly terrified.
A day later, the group sometimes walked, sometimes flew, smoothly exiting the Land of Great Fog and entered the Red Earth Continent.
"Brother Jin Yu, now that we have entered the border of the Ancient Abyss Country, have you had any moments of spiritual insight, glimpsing some unusual destiny?"
Song Changming saw Li Jinyu holding a mysterious turtle shell and a small measuring ruler, seemingly deducing something as they walked, and curiously asked.
A moment later, Li Jinyu shook his head.
"This Ancient Abyss Country, for some reason, is shrouded in cloudy mist, seemingly peculiar..."
In the end, he could only say the destiny was elusive.
"I can’t decipher it right now, let me ponder it." Li Jinyu felt a little embarrassed and smiled slyly.
Song Changming originally wanted the other to help derive some intelligence, but seeing this, he could only temporarily give up.
The group continued forward according to the planned route.
The location where they had previously encountered the Four-Eyed Taoist capturing the dragon was roughly in the northeast direction of the Red Earth Continent.
It was closer to the Thirty Six Grotto Heavens of Nanzhou.
Therefore, this time, Song Changming traveled straight northwest, away from the potential activity area of the Four-Eyed Taoist.
At present, he had stepped into the Innate Realm, and his Body Refining Cultivation had significantly improved, but even so, wanting revenge against the enigmatic Four-Eyed Taoist, he still didn’t have absolute confidence in winning.
For stability, he still needed to continue strengthening his personal combat power, and most importantly, gather intelligence information on the Four-Eyed Taoist, acting only after comprehensive understanding and planning.
When the time came, he aimed for a lethal strike, leaving no chance for the opponent to recover!
"This place is truly barren, is this really the Ancient Abyss Country?" Song Ping’an looked at the dark red soil beneath his feet, puzzled.
Where was the promised rich Spiritual Qi, the place full of cultivation treasures...
"This place is rather special; crossing it means we’ve truly reached the Ancient Abyss Country." Song Changming explained.
As he spoke, he rubbed White’s head.
White understood, crouching down slightly, allowing Song Changming to ride on.
