Li Guangming talks about the misty abyss

The next morning, Zhou Yuan and the others set off!

He hadn't seen the true face of the eldest young lady of the Liu family, as she was wearing a veil that prevented scrutiny.

However, Zhou Yuan naturally met the young master of the Wang family, and his impression of him was quite good.

This person, named Wang Kang, looked to be in his twenties, but his actual age was unknown.

He was handsome and refined, with a faint smile on his face, and spoke very straightforwardly, which left Zhou Yuan with a good impression of him.

Beside the Wang family's young master, there was an old man who looked about sixty years old, whose Mid Nascent Divinity Realm pressure occasionally manifested.

The old man didn't put on any airs, stating his name was Wang Boda, and everyone could call him Old Wang!

On the Liu family's side, the eldest young lady was accompanied by an old woman, a strong practitioner at the early Huashen Realm, who also had the surname Liu!

This team consisted of thirty-nine people in total; besides the two Huashen Realm cultivators, there were fifteen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

There were twenty Golden Core Realm cultivators, and the remaining few were Miss Liu and her maid; Zhou Yuan noticed her maid was only at the Qi Refining Realm!

This force could be said to be very powerful, but the more so, the more uneasy Zhou Yuan felt.

At this moment, he even regretted getting involved in this excitement.

Of course, he wasn't worried about his own safety; he just didn't want to expose too much.

After all, Zhou Yuan was going to stay in Danyang City in the future, and exposing too much would not be good for him!

The journey to Danyang City was several thousand miles, and Wang Kang specifically brought out a small flying boat that could seat a hundred people, which was more than enough to accommodate their dozens of people.

On the first day, the flying boat traveled a thousand miles, then slowly stopped in the void.

In front of everyone now was an area enveloped in mist, stretching for a thousand miles!

The flying boat naturally couldn't travel through such mist, otherwise, a major accident was very likely to occur.

Wang Boda gathered everyone together and calmly said, "Everyone, we will rest tonight, and tomorrow we will begin to pass through this Mist Abyss!"

Zhou Yuan was not familiar with this place, but among the team, more than ten people frowned slightly, showing worried expressions in their eyes.

At the entrance of the forest at night, dozens of people gathered in several groups.

Since everyone was a cultivator, they naturally didn't need to set up tents or anything, as a single night was nothing to them.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, are you not worried about tomorrow's events?"

Seeing the person approaching, Zhou Yuan was slightly startled.

This person, named Li Guangming, was a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

They had chatted quite congenially on the journey today.

At this moment, many of the people were gathered in groups of several, while Zhou Yuan alone sat calmly to the side.

Zhou Yuan motioned for Li Guangming to sit down, then calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Li, I am not familiar with this place, so I don't know what the Mist Abyss is all about!"

"If it's convenient for Fellow Daoist Li, you could tell me about it!"

Li Guangming didn't stand on ceremony, sitting down next to Zhou Yuan, then smiled and said, "Actually, it's better not to know; unlike us, the more we know, the more we worry about this matter!"

"However, if Fellow Daoist Zhou is interested, I'll chat with Fellow Daoist Zhou for a bit!"

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, then said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please speak freely!"

Li Guangming's character was also quite straightforward; after a moment of thought, he slowly began to speak!

"The Mist Abyss is also known as the Bewildering Immortal Abyss, meaning that even if you are an immortal, you will be disoriented once you enter!"

"The Mist Abyss is very special; one cannot fly in the air there, and the mist inside is as heavy as mountains."

"The higher one's cultivation, the more severely they are suppressed inside!"

"For cultivators like you and me at the Nascent Soul Realm, we can only exert at most the strength of the Golden Core Realm inside! We will be suppressed by a major realm, or even more!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes widened upon hearing Li Guangming's introduction; it was the first time he had heard of such a peculiar place!

However, Zhou Yuan did not interrupt, but continued to listen to Li Guangming's explanation.

"In the Mist Abyss, various fierce beasts appear all year round. These fierce beasts, having lived there for a long time, are not affected."

"I once traversed the Mist Abyss, and I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Zhou, it was a near-death experience!"

"Of course, back then, I was only a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, and after entering, I could only exert the cultivation of Qi Refining fifth layer."

"Although more than a hundred years have passed, the Mist Abyss has become increasingly dangerous. This time we also have to go through here, and honestly, I am quite worried!"

Zhou Yuan nodded upon hearing Li Guangming's words, then frowned slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, can't we take a detour?"

Li Guangming smiled slightly and said, "Naturally we can, but once we detour, not only will we have to travel nearly two thousand more miles, but we will also have to pass through a mountain range with many fierce beasts, and the danger will not be much lower than going this way!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan nodded, Li Guangming's explanation seemed reasonable!

"Fellow Daoist Li, what are the main dangers of the Mist Abyss?"

Li Guangming pondered for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, there are five main aspects."

"Firstly, getting lost and not finding a way out! It will be troublesome if you get separated!"

"Secondly, there are many fierce beasts inside, even some comparable to the Huashen Realm. Of course, we may not encounter such fierce beasts!"

"Thirdly, mist tides; once a mist tide appears, it will inevitably be accompanied by a beast tide, almost certainly leading to death!"

"Fourthly, robbers. Some rogue cultivators band together and wander in the Mist Abyss all year round. They use their familiarity with the geographical environment of the Mist Abyss to hunt those who enter."

"Finally, there's the poisonous gas! There are many poisonous plants in the Mist Abyss. The poisonous gas they emit will cause one's limbs to stiffen. The spiritual power in the body will be further suppressed, and eventually, one may only be able to exert physical strength!"

Hearing Li Guangming's detailed explanation, Zhou Yuan quickly cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!"

Li Guangming nodded, then smiled and said, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Zhou, I've observed everyone in this team, and only you and I seem to be alone!"

"I came to find Fellow Daoist Zhou because I hope we can help each other tomorrow, so we each have an extra bit of strength!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, rest assured, we will travel together tomorrow!"

Li Guangming immediately nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

The reason he came to find Zhou Yuan was to propose an alliance with him. Otherwise, there would have been no need for him to explain the matters of the Mist Abyss in such detail.

Now that his objective was achieved, Li Guangming was in a good mood. After chatting with Zhou Yuan for a few more moments, he got up and took his leave!

Watching Li Guangming's departing back, Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He wasn't entirely sure whether what the other party said was true or false.

However, no matter what, he should make some preparations!
