Tan Yun leaped onto the back of the golden dragon spirit lion, promptly putting away the Abyssal Illusion Array of All Things Returning to the Abyss's formation base.
While releasing his spiritual sense to encompass the surrounding area, Tan Yun rode the golden dragon spirit lion deeper into the abyss!
The golden dragon spirit lion darted through the dim void like a massive bolt of golden lightning, releasing an aura comparable to that of a third-level tribulation stage demon beast as it flew unimpeded!
However, Tan Yun noticed that the surroundings were eerily quiet, with no living creature in sight!
“What’s going on? Is this place the territory of some powerful demon beast, or is there another reason for this silence?”
Tan Yun muttered to himself, his heartbeat quickening.
Putting aside his doubts, over the next ten days, the golden dragon spirit lion took Tan Yun deeper, covering six million miles into the abyss, yet there were still no signs of life!
At this moment, under the influence of the destructive power, Tan Yun's skin was torn apart, exposing his skeletal structure. He then released his spiritual power to envelop his body, continuing to steer the golden dragon spirit lion deeper into the abyss while attempting to heal his wounds…
A month later, when the golden dragon spirit lion carried a completely unharmed Tan Yun two million one hundred thousand miles into the abyss, the dim surroundings were still devoid of any living beings!
The silence was maddening!
Tan Yun couldn’t help but grow anxious, as the trial area of the eternal land only spanned a radius of ten million miles, and now they had already gone two million one hundred thousand miles deep, clearly leaving the trial area behind!
At this moment, the spiritual power in Tan Yun's spirit pool had dwindled to just ten percent!
At this rate, in at most five days, his spiritual power would be exhausted. However, the reason Tan Yun remained calm was that he had over three hundred thousand supreme Spirit Stones in his Qiankun Ring!
These supreme Spirit Stones were a combination of previous wealth and those acquired from slaughtering disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the disciples of the divine soul celestial palace.
"It’s strange, why is it that the deeper I go, the fewer traces of demon beasts I find?" Tan Yun pondered, realizing he had no choice but to continue driving the golden dragon spirit lion deeper into the endless abyss…
Five days later, as the spiritual power within his spirit pool was nearly depleted, a flash from the Qiankun Ring at Tan Yun's right hand produced a supreme Spirit Stone. He tightly grasped the Spirit Stone in his right hand and began to absorb the spiritual power within it!
It’s well-known that low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade Spirit Stones have chaotic and impure spiritual power, making them unsuitable for cultivators to absorb.
Supreme Spirit Stones, however, are different; they contain vast amounts of pure spiritual power that cultivators can absorb for cultivation.
But due to the staggering value of a supreme Spirit Stone, equivalent to one million low-grade Spirit Stones, even the wealthiest individuals wouldn’t extravagantly use supreme Spirit Stones for cultivation!
Otherwise, no matter how much wealth they had, it would never be enough!
"It’s either a blessing or a curse; if it's a curse, there's no escaping it. No demon beasts, then no problem!" Tan Yun steeled himself, “To hell with it, let’s continue deeper!”
“Roar!”
With the golden dragon spirit lion responding, it continued to soar through the dark abyss at a speed of five hundred thousand miles a day…
Time passed without notice, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.
The golden dragon spirit lion, carrying Tan Yun, had now delved five thousand one hundred thousand miles deep. However, what baffled Tan Yun was that even after traveling another thirty million miles, he still hadn’t encountered any demon beasts!
The abyss remained exceptionally silent, not even a whisper could be heard!
