427: Head to the Fallen God Abyss!

Suddenly, the old man let out a cold snort.

"I'll tell you the truth, it's not that no one in the Sect has dared to take this mission over the years."

"But do you know what their fate was?"

Su Ming stood where he was, facing the old man's scrutinizing gaze without a hint of fear.

"Whatever their fate was, it has nothing to do with me."

Su Ming's voice was extremely calm.

"I only know that I will be able to return alive!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, the old man didn't get angry but laughed instead. His laughter was hoarse and harsh, filled with mockery.

He shook his head, his face full of disapproval toward Su Ming.

"Arrogant!"

The old man restrained his laughter, his eyes growing sharper.

"Those who were as confident as you, and whose cultivation levels were even higher—not a single one who took this mission was below the Immortal Lord Realm."

"Yet their end, without exception, was death in the Gods Fall Abyss!"

However, Su Ming remained expressionless.

Seeing this, a trace of complexity flashed in the old man's eyes.

Was it the ignorance of a newborn calf not fearing the tiger?

Or was he truly fearless?

He had lived for so long and had seen too many conceited young people who eventually turned into a handful of yellow soil.

He said nothing more, simply taking a recording crystal engraved with the Sect's patterns from the shelf behind him and handing it to Su Ming.

"Take it."

The old man's voice was low, carrying a hint of an imperceptible sigh.

"I hope you can return alive!"

He watched as Su Ming took the crystal and added another sentence.

"Right, if you haven't departed within a week after accepting the mission, the Sect will automatically cancel it and deduct three points from you!"

"This is the Sect's punishment for those Disciples who accept missions on impulse but then shrink back at the last moment."

Su Ming was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Three points, while not much, were enough to make many newly initiated Disciples feel a pang of pain.

What's more, he didn't even have a single point right now.

Su Ming gripped the cold crystal in his hand, feeling the faint fluctuations of mana contained within, and nodded faintly.

Su Ming didn't say anything more and turned to leave the Mission Hall.

He was determined to go to the Gods Fall Abyss!

Night fell, and Su Ming returned to his Immortal Cave without rushing to rest.

He kept the recording crystal close to his body and carefully checked his Storage Ring.

After ensuring he had enough Medicinal Pills for recovery, he sat cross-legged on the stone bed, closed his eyes to rest, and adjusted his state to its peak.

Early the next morning.

The morning in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect was shrouded in thin mist, and many Disciples had already risen early to begin their day's Cultivation.

Su Ming did not disturb anyone; he left the gates of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect like a wisp of blue smoke, moving silently and swiftly toward the east.

Three months later.

Su Ming had traveled through dust and wind, crossing tens of thousands of miles of territory.

During this time, he had also encountered attacks from Eerie Creatures.

Of course, all of this was done intentionally by Su Ming.

The reason he exposed his tracks was entirely to earn a few more points.

Along the way, any Eerie Creature that attacked him was slain, and he recorded it all with the recording crystal.

Finally, following the guidance provided by the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, Su Ming arrived at the edge of the Eastern Underworld Sea.

However, when he arrived near the Gods Fall Abyss, he was shocked to discover that this place was actually within the territory of the Eerie Sky City!

It was a massive city floating high in the sky, jet-black in its entirety, wreathed in purple-black mist.

At the same time, it exuded a heart-palpitating pressure.

Unsurprisingly, this was an Eerie Creature at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The Sky City that Su Ming saw was the true form of that Immortal Emperor Eerie Creature.

At this moment, Su Ming's heart sank abruptly.

The intelligence from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect had not mentioned that the Gods Fall Abyss would be in such close proximity to the Eerie Sky City.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty and risk of the mission.

He hid behind a desolate hill, gazing at the eerie city with a solemn expression.

To rush through it would be no different from delivering himself into the tiger's mouth.

The goal of his trip was the Gods Fall Abyss, not a head-on conflict with the Sky City.

And the Gods Fall Abyss was located in an abyss on the northwest side of the Eastern Underworld Sea.

According to information provided by the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, the Gods Fall Abyss had suddenly erupted with abnormal riots ten years ago.

Before that, it had always been calm and peaceful, never having any problems.

Since then, the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect had been trying to find out the true situation inside the Gods Fall Abyss.

This was to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the distribution of the Eerie Clan in the Vast Immortal Domain.

Su Ming understood that the importance of this mission far exceeded what appeared on the surface.

It concerned not just simple points, but a deep exploration of the layout of the Eerie power.

Of course, Su Ming was not doing all this for the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, but for himself and the Sword Pavilion behind him.

Although the Sword Pavilion was currently a bottom-tier Sect, in the future, it would undoubtedly be the strongest Sect force in the Vast Immortal Domain, bar none!

He withdrew his gaze from the Sky City, deciding to temporarily avoid this unnecessary trouble.

"It seems I have to take a detour."

Su Ming muttered to himself.

He carefully skirted along the edge of the Eerie Sky City.

Su Ming pushed his Void Concealment Divine Ability to its limit.

His figure almost merged with the surrounding environment, not leaking a trace of his aura.

After a long period of sneaking, he finally arrived at the northwest side of the Eastern Underworld Sea.

Before him, a huge, bottomless crack, like a torn wound, lay across the dried-up seabed.

The crack was pitch-black and deep, as if leading to another world.

A cold aura constantly surged out from the abyss.

Even from a distance, it made one feel a chill in their heart.

"There shouldn't be an Eerie Immortal Emperor in there, right..."

Su Ming stood at the edge of the Gods Fall Abyss, looking at the pitch-black crack.

This thought unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Currently, he knew of three Eerie Immortal Emperors on the surface.

He did not believe that a fourth Eerie Immortal Emperor could be hidden in this Gods Fall Abyss.

If that were really the case, the Human Race in this Vast Immortal Domain would have likely ceased to exist long ago, and it would be impossible to maintain the fragile balance that exists today.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Sect would not just send someone to investigate.

Thinking of this, Su Ming's mind calmed down a little.

He restrained all his aura and pushed Void Concealment to its limit.

The space around him twisted slightly, and his figure instantly became blurred.

Finally, he completely disappeared from the spot, thoroughly merging into this Void Realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped into the deep crack.

Just as he entered the Gods Fall Abyss, a cold aura far exceeding the outside world rushed towards his face.

Even though Void Concealment isolated most of the external influence, Su Ming could still clearly feel this oppressive force.

Su Ming did not stop, speeding through the darkness.

He did not know how long he had been falling, nor how far he had traveled.

Finally, he felt the spatial fluctuations around him stabilize, and what was before his eyes was no longer endless darkness.

Su Ming's figure quietly appeared, and he discovered that he was already on a dim land.

"This place..."

Su Ming looked around, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Is this a Secret Realm?"
