Chapter 1196 Harvest
Guan Zhengying said, "Old Hu, does this young Chu have the ability to destroy those statues?"

“Yes, that’s right.” The old man nodded. “This Undying Golden Essence is only found on those statues. You can’t get it without the ability.”

Guan Zhengying said, "Xiao Chu can still sense what's down there."

The old man's eyes flashed with cold light as he stared straight at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "The speed of the thing below is unpredictable; I can only vaguely sense it."

"Hehe..." the old man laughed.

Guan Zhengying said, "If Xiao Chu can pinpoint its location, then we have a chance to deal with it!"

Hu Qixuan snorted and said, "You can really sense it?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "What's the use of being able to sense it?"

Guan Zhengying hurriedly said, "How can it be useless! Old Hu, do you want to give it a try?"

Hu Qixuan glanced at Chu Zhiyuan a few times, then slowly stood up and patted the dust off his palms: "Let's go, let's go take a look."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He also wanted to find out what kind of monster or beast was down there.

There was only a vague sensation; its shape was unclear to the extrasensory perception.

But I could vaguely sense its size.

It is elusive and moves with lightning speed, constantly changing its position, yet its size is enormous.

It is at least 100 meters long, and if erected, it would be 30 stories high.

Such a massive size, yet such incredible speed, defies common sense.

They emerged from among the stone sculptures and arrived at the edge of the cliff outside the courtyard, looking down at the clear blue water.

The water was crystal clear, and one could almost see the bottom, but the bottom was deep and dark, unfathomable.

"Where is it now?" Guan Zhengying asked.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes.

A moment later, he stretched out his left hand and pointed towards the eleven o'clock position.

Then he stretched out his right hand and pointed towards the three o'clock direction.

Then he turned around and pointed in the direction of six o'clock.

Then point to eight o'clock, then eleven o'clock, nine o'clock, and three o'clock.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes with a helpless expression, and shook his head, saying, "Too fast."

This speed is hardly what one would expect from a light-weight technique; it's more like performing a powerful earth-based technique.

Guan Zhengying frowned and looked at Hu Qixuan.

“It is indeed incredibly fast,” Hu Qixuan nodded, “so it’s impossible to deal with; the only option is to suppress it and prevent it from coming out.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Senior Hu, what kind of strange beast is this?"

“A legendary beast,” Hu Qixuan said calmly.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow: "Could it be Tianlong?"

Even Chu Liezhao's clone, Tianlong, didn't seem to have this speed.

Hu Qixuan shook his head: "That's not the case. We can't suppress Tianlong."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "A black dragon?"

"More or less." Hu Qixuan nodded: "Similar things, but we can't be sure what they are. We never had the chance to see them, and those who did are all dead."

Chu Zhiyuan looked around, surveying the world around him.

He had a vague sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But this is clearly my first time here.

After pondering for a while, a flash of inspiration struck: the blue sea and sky.

This space is very similar to the space inside one's own Laogong acupoint.

So, what exactly is this Zhenxie Abyss?
"Seniors, what is the origin of this Zhenxie Abyss? Was the monster driven here from outside to be suppressed, or was the monster originally here and its escape was a mistake?"

Hu Qixuan and Guan Zhengying exchanged a glance.

Hu Qixuan said, "The Abyss of Suppressing Evil is a cage."

"Whose feat was this?" Chu Zhiyuan asked in surprise.

He immediately understood what this meant: the strange object was not from the Abyss of Suppression, but had been driven in to suppress it.

Hu Qixuan said, "Senior Mo Changqiu."

"That Senior Mo?" Huang Zhengyang exclaimed, "That Senior Mo really existed?"

“Who said it doesn’t exist?” Guan Zhengying said irritably, “Senior Mo’s achievements are immense, yet they’re treated as legends, how unworthy!” Huang Zhengyang scratched his head, “But Senior Mo’s deeds are too mysterious, there’s really no way to take them seriously.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Huang Zhengyang.

Huang Zhengyang said with a wry smile, "This senior Mo Changqiu is said to be the true founder of the Demon Extermination Division and the Evil Extermination Division. He slayed demons and monsters, killed supreme evil demons and supreme heavenly demons. His reputation was so great that no one could match him. In the end, he shattered the void and disappeared without a trace."

"That powerful?" Chu Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "Breaking through the void, you must have ascended to immortality?"

Huang Zhengyang shook his head and said, "I have never heard of anyone being able to ascend to heaven."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We were able to ascend from the Outer Heaven, so is this the ultimate place where we can no longer ascend?"

"Never heard of it." Huang Zhengyang looked at the two old men.

Guan Zhengying and Hu Qixuan exchanged a glance.

Guan Zhengying shook his head: "Originally, one could not ascend, but this Senior Mo Changqiu was able to do what others could not, breaking through the limits and shattering the void to ascend."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Were there any more ascensions after that?"

Guan Zhengying shook his head and said, "At that time, it was almost impossible to ascend to heaven. After that, there were several changes in the heavens and earth, making it even more and more impossible. Since then, no one has ascended to heaven."

Hu Qixuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not get carried away. It seems there's no way I can make a move."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Unless it can stop, but so far, I haven't felt it stop for even a moment. It's been changing and moving all the time."

Huang Zhengyang said, "It can't keep going forever; it will get tired eventually."

Hu Qixuan snorted, "That's the logic, but the existence of this strange object is inherently illogical."

He looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Little Chu, would you like to stay for a few days to observe?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked troubled: "Please forgive me, senior. I have other matters to attend to outside and cannot stay here for long."

Huang Zhengyang then recounted what had happened outside.

"Longevity Pill?" Hu Qixuan looked Chu Zhiyuan up and down: "You're about to reach the ninth level of cultivation, so you don't need the Longevity Pill."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, so you have something on your mind, is it for a woman?"

"Cough cough." Chu Zhiyuan coughed twice.

He couldn't tell his parents, so he could only blame it on women.

He ascended to heaven with Li Hongzhao, and they were both from the Lesser Outer Heaven, so it's normal for people to think they were a couple.

Hu Qixuan said, "I do have one Longevity Pill."

Chu Zhiyuan was taken aback.

Hu Qixuan said, "If you stay for ten days, this longevity pill will be yours."

"Thank you, Senior Guan." Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in thanks and looked at Huang Zhengyang.

Huang Zhengyang looked troubled: "This... Seniors, the Undying Evil Lord keeps throwing down statues, which Brother Chu needs to destroy."

"The Undying Evil Lord is stirring up trouble again? He comes back every 1,800 to 1,000 years!" Guan Zhengying said coldly, "Damn it!"

His gaze swept over the glittering golden statues: "But there's nothing we can do about them!"

Hu Qixuan said, "Then you choose: stay here for ten days to get a longevity pill, or go out?"

"Please forgive me, senior." Chu Zhiyuan said helplessly, "We cannot just stand by and watch those immortal evil lords slaughter innocent people."

"You little rascal!" Hu Qixuan said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you come again, there won't be any more longevity pills!"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "There's always a chance to get the Longevity Pill again, but once a person dies, there's no way to bring them back to life."

Hu Qixuan reached into his robes and pulled out a small jade bottle, tossing it to him: "Alright, once things outside are settled, come and stay for a few days."

"Thank you, senior." Chu Zhiyuan accepted the jade bottle.

He guessed that it contained the Longevity Pill.

Huang Zhengyang immediately beamed with joy: "Senior, what a generous gesture! ...Do you still have any of these Longevity Pills?"

Hu Qixuan glanced at him sideways and snorted, "Get lost!"

He looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "This Undying Golden Essence is one of the best materials for refining artifacts. Many divine artifacts are made from it. Wait a moment, let me look for it."

As he spoke, he turned and went into his own yard.

After a while, he came out and handed Chu Zhiyuan a thin, yellowed booklet: "Here you go, take it back and read it carefully."

Chu Zhiyuan accepted the tattered yellow book with both hands and solemnly clasped his hands in thanks.

"Alright, you guys go ahead." Hu Qixuan waved his hand: "Go quickly and come back soon."

"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
