Chapter 321 The Devil Abyss Was the Abyss
However, Li Xuan did not pay attention to this. Instead, he said directly. “Take your time to deal with these pieces of Spiritual Equipment. I’ll go out and come back every few months. When the time comes, I’ll bring you a batch of Spiritual Equipment and you can help me find the Transcendence Fruit.”
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he took out a set of Spiritual Equipment suitable for the ninth elder and handed it to her. Then, it disappeared into the ripples of water.
“He just left like that?”
The ninth elder watched Li Xuan leave. When she saw Li Xuan disappear into the space in a carefree manner, the admiration in her heart grew even more.
“It’s a pity that he only has the Transcendence Fruit in his eyes.”
The ninth elder sighed. She stared blankly at the space where Li Xuan left for a moment before she put away the Spiritual Equipment that Li Xuan gave her. Then, she turned around and left Green Bamboo Peak.
She did not say anything about Li Xuan’s departure. She only said that Li Xuan had returned to the Summoned Beasts World.
After that, she gave the Spiritual Equipment that Li Xuan had refined to the sect master and the elders. She only said that it was made by the Stone Golem and did not mention Li Xuan’s original body. These pieces of high-level Spiritual Equipment had shocked the higher-ups of the sect so much that they no longer had the intention to take Li Xuan in as a disciple.
There was nothing they could do. The Spiritual Equipment that Li Xuan had refined was even better than those refined by the elders. How could they have the right to take Li Xuan in as a disciple?
In the end, the sect decided to focus all their efforts on nurturing little fatty as a core disciple. As for Lei Wushuang, she was also valued because of his close relationship with Li Xuan.
Regarding all of this, Li Xuan did not pay much attention to it.
He had now become a ten-year-old little beggar and had come to the Devil Abyss City, a city near the Seven Stars Sect.
With his many talents and skills, no one could notice anything abnormal at the moment. Even a Gold Rank could not do it. This was his strength.
The purpose of doing this was naturally to join the Seven Stars Sect, learn array formations, and then think of a way to obtain Transcendence Fruits.
At this moment, he was sitting at the corner of an Ancient Street. His entire body was dirty. He was holding a broken bowl as he silently watched the people coming and going, listening to the discussions coming from all directions.
As the only city at the bottom of the Devil Abyss Mountain, Devil Abyss City had a huge flow of people. There were countless cultivators coming and going. In just a short while, Li Xuan saw several Silver Rank experts.
Of course, Gold Rank experts were still very rare.
It was said that there were less than ten Gold Rank experts in the Seven Stars Mountain. This was because the Seven Stars Sect had guarded the Devil Abyss Mountain all year round and repaired the Seven Stars Array. Their contributions were outstanding. The Heavenly Sword Sect would reward the Seven Stars Sect with a large number of resources. Even the Gold Fruits and the Netherworld Fruits would be given priority to the Seven Stars Sect in order to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen to the array.
Unfortunately, during the process of repairing the array formation, even with the protection of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Seven Stars Sect would still encounter Demonized Demonic Beasts, resulting in heavy casualties among their disciples.
Demonized Demonic Beasts were monsters that had become irrational after being contaminated by the Demonic Aura. Their defense was powerful, their strength was boundless, and they were savage and brutal.
Fortunately, Demonized Demonic Beasts had lost their rationality and had a great impact on the battle. That was why they were able to maintain the current situation.
Li Xuan was very curious about this. He kept using his God’s Perspective to look at the entrance of the Devil Abyss dozens of kilometers away and also saw the Devil Abyss Fortress.
The Devil Abyss Fortress was the first line of defense against the Demon Race. There were 100,000 elite warriors stationed there. The Heavenly Sword Sect also had a large number of experts stationed there. Almost all the sects in the world had sent experts. What surprised Li Xuan was that when he was observing, he did not see any Beast Tamer Sect disciples. It was very strange that he did not see any of them.
“Although the Beast Tamer Sect is very far from here, the Devil Abyss is related to the survival of the human race. They should have sent some experts. At the very least, they should have sent some elders. Why didn’t they see them?”
Li Xuan was puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of the strange array formation at the back of the Beast Tamer Sect’s mountain.
According to what the beautiful ninth elder said, the Beast Tamer Sect did not have an array formation. What about the array formation at the back of the mountain?
Li Xuan felt that something was wrong, especially when he thought of Lei Wushuang, the chosen one, and the little fatty who was also in the Beast Tamer Sect. He felt that this sect was hiding a secret.
“Let’s not worry about this first. We should think of a way to get the Transcendence Fruits and increase our strength. At the same time, we should learn the array formation and teach it to little Qin Yue.” Li Xuan no longer thought about the Beast Tamer Sect. Instead, he quietly observed the experts in the stronghold and glanced at the fully armed warriors.
The strange Devil Abyss that was constantly emitting black gas was also seen by Li Xuan.
The Devil Abyss was not small. It was an underground cave the size of a hundred football fields. Large amounts of black gas rose from the cave’s mouth and spread to the horizon.
Some black creatures that looked like rats ran around the cave’s entrance, gnawing on the array formation at the cave’s entrance. At the same time, they were burned to death by the array formation.
“This feeling, it’s the abyss again! Although the name is different, this aura is definitely the abyss. It actually attacked multiple worlds at the same time. What a terrifying existence.”
Li Xuan thought of the golden giant that had been tortured by the threads back then. That giant had fallen from the abyss.
He remembered that after the giant died, there were countless golden giant corpses at the other end of the spatial crack.
So many golden giant corpses had died, and the ones that killed them were golden threads. These threads were very strange, and they were definitely released by someone who surpassed Gold Rank. “I remember that there was a battle flag on that mountain, and the word ‘heaven’ was written on it. The person who released the golden threads was definitely this person…”
If this person had not killed the golden giant, the blind granny’s world might have already been destroyed. After all, just the Demonic Aura alone almost caused the blind granny’s world to collapse
Li Xuan sighed inwardly. Although he did not know who that expert was, what he had done was definitely a huge favor to the blind granny’s world.
“Forget it, let’s not think about this for now. I’ll focus on increasing my strength first. Only with great strength will I be able to face any threats.”
Li Xuan muttered to himself. He continued to observe from God’s Perspective while listening to the surrounding voices.
A month passed in this kind of observation.
Li Xuan quickly became familiar with the Devil Abyss City. He learned a lot of information and finally waited for the day when the Seven Stars Sect would accept disciples. It was early in the morning. The sun was bright and beautiful, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.
Li Xuan took a good shower and put on a set of plain civilian clothes. He arrived at the foot of Devil Abyss Mountain early in the morning and looked at the Seven Stars Sect that was shrouded in clouds.
As the third most powerful sect, the Seven Stars Sect had more than ten thousand disciples. Every year, more than a thousand people came to the test, hoping to join the Seven Stars Sect.
Unfortunately, the disciples suffered heavy casualties these years. They had to continue to do missions, accompany the army into the Devil Abyss to set up arrays, and suppress the Demon Race and Demonic Beasts.
The continuous deaths caused the number of people who joined the Seven Stars Sect to decrease every year. This year, there were even less than a thousand people, and only a few hundred people came to participate in the test.
This made the Seven Stars Sect’s higher-ups’ faces turn ugly, and they were also a little flustered.
“I didn’t expect that only a few hundred people would come to take the test this year, and there are even beggars among them.”Seven Stars Sect’s Deacon Niu shook his head helplessly.
He saw a few little beggars dressed in tattered clothes, holding broken bowls and waiting not far away. This scene was really disturbing.
“Now that the sect is becoming more and more withered, the number of genius disciples is even more pitiful. It has been many years since a genius disciple appeared…”
“I heard that the Beast Tamer sect has produced a genius stone man who can refine Third Tier High-Grade Spiritual Equipment. His talent is beyond imagination…”
“It would be great if our sect could produce an array formation genius as well,” said Deacon Wang enviously.
“Yeah, it’s a pity that it’s easier said than done to find a genius disciple. The path of array formation isn’t that simple. Not only does it require excellent comprehension, but it also requires perseverance and patience.”
Deacon Niu glanced at the beggars and felt more and more worried. They needed people with clean backgrounds to take in disciples, and every single one of them needed to be investigated. The identities of these little beggars were unknown, and logically speaking, they would not be accepted into the sect. Fortunately, the beggars were young, and if they could pass through the Heart-Seeking Array, they could be accepted into the sect.
However, they could only be part-time disciples and be taught the most basic formations. Unless they were talented, they would not be taught particularly powerful formations.
