Chapter 160 Making a Deal with the Black Fish
It's better not to see it.

Finally, the silent, faceless statue spoke.

"Why? Are you really the Queen of the Underworld?"

This time, Liu Chengfeng truly had doubts; before this, he had always been skeptical.

Because a handful of yellow earth is unreliable, I don't completely believe what she says.

Now Liu Chengfeng really suspects that the faceless stone statue is the Yin Empress.

The faceless stone statue remained silent and did not answer.

Damn, could it really be the Empress Yin?

"You don't want anything anymore? You're even giving up the stone basket?"

A handful of yellow earth pointed the way, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, Brother Lan, don't you want your stone basket anymore?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed for an answer, but the stone basket was still in his hand.

The answer is obvious: the stone basket was given to him by the Queen of the Underworld, yet it was a faceless stone statue.

If she's not the Queen of the Underworld, then who is?

Another question arises: if the stone basket is so important, why would the faceless statue give it to itself?

Too many questions swirled in his mind, and with life and death hanging in the balance, Liu Chengfeng had no time to ponder them.

"You can save yourself."

After a moment of silence, the faceless statue spoke again.

"Self-rescue?"

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately began to think of ways to save himself.

"What should I do?"

After a long silence, Fairy Moon asked in a low voice.

Held tightly in Liu Chengfeng's arms, nestled against his chest, she felt a strange sense of security.

She was easily embarrassed and had social anxiety, so she didn't dare to talk to Liu Chengfeng.

Moreover, she had never been so intimate with anyone before, making her situation even more awkward.

It took me a lot of courage to ask.

"wait for me."

Liu Chengfeng immediately turned Tianqiu around, sparing no effort in expending his blood, qi, and energy.

They clung to each other and remained still, sinking extremely quickly; the moment they moved, they sank even faster.

Willows ride the wind, stirring the heavenly hills; perception surges like a tide, listening to the heavens and earth.

The entire swirling vortex of the formless drowning was enormous.

Even if Liu Chengfeng desperately rotates the Heavenly Hill, it is impossible to cover the entire vortex in a short period of time.

Fairy Tingyue also sensed Liu Chengfeng's fluctuations. Although she didn't know what methods he used, she understood that Liu Chengfeng was searching for a way out.

She lay on Liu Chengfeng's chest, still embarrassed, and dared not look at him.

Liu Chengfeng propelled Tianqiu to rotate extremely fast, and its perception spread many times greater than usual.

However, this was extremely draining of his energy and vitality, so Liu Chengfeng was taking drugs excessively. No matter what, he had to find a way to save himself.

Liu Chengfeng's blood and energy are weak, and he relies on drugs to stay alive. Fairy Tingyue is worried, wondering how long he can last.

She wasn't good at communicating and didn't know what to say.

"Can you hold it?"

Finally, Fairy Tingyue asked softly, shyly.

"Yes, soon."

Liu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and went all out, spinning Tianqiu until it was almost smoking. Tianqiu had a grudge against Liu Chengfeng.

"Go in, don't go in, go in, don't go in..."

Tianqiu extended his senses to their limit and finally heard a voice.

Perception immediately surged toward the sound like a tidal wave, and the Dome Eye observed.

Finally, a figure came to mind.

The figure was so enormous, it felt like it was being forced into my mind.

Upon seeing the shadow, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine, for it was an enormous creature.

A black fish, its body thousands of miles long, entirely black like jade, with its eyes tightly closed, or rather, without eyes.

This black fish, lying deep within, resembled a giant mountain range.

It can speak without opening its mouth; it talks to itself.

"Go in, don't go in, go in, don't go in..."

It's like flipping a coin, choosing one answer from two possible outcomes.

"Where should we go?"

Liu Chengfeng asked the black fish.

The blackfish ignored him and continued talking to itself.

Damn it, is this thing some kind of monster? It could swallow them whole, it wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

Liu Chengfeng told Tingyue Fairy about the situation.

"The Black Fish of Ten Thousand Miles—"

Even Fairy Tingyue paled; this was likely a very ominous creature.

Even a 300,000-year-old imperial beast doesn't have such a body; what a terrifying existence this is.

While drowning in the formless water, Fairy Tingyue could not sense anything else. When she realized that there was a black fish thousands of miles away beneath her feet, she was also terrified.

"Brother Yu, is there a way to leave this place?"

Liu Chengfeng greeted Wanli Blackfish in a friendly manner.

Wanli Blackfish ignored Liu Chengfeng and continued to choose between advancing and not advancing.

"Brother Yu, is this Wantianyuan your territory?"

Undeterred, Liu Chengfeng continued to inquire.

He realized that if the blackfish wanted to eat them, they would have already done so.

Moreover, the two of them are so small, like ants, that they're probably not even enough to fill a tooth gap, and the blackfish wouldn't bother eating them.

Even a tiny mayfly knows how to hold up the sky.

The blackfish finally spoke.

Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed. He was just afraid that it wouldn't speak. Once it did, things would be much easier.

"Although I am a mayfly, I can solve many things. Brother Fish, tell me, what's troubling you?"

Liu Chengfeng immediately tried to establish a connection.

"Mayflies are ignorant."

Wanli Blackfish still looked down on Liu Chengfeng.

"Brother Yu, let's make a deal. I'll solve your problem, and you send us out of Wantianyuan."

When people are in dire straits, they can utter any grand and heroic words.

Besides, he might not necessarily die here.

"By you?"

The disdain of the black carp for the mayfly.

"Yes, with my help. Brother Yu, your troubles have probably plagued you for countless years. Tell me about them; what if I really can solve them?"

"Besides, Brother Yu, how many years have you been here? Have you ever met someone like me? I am a unique man, one in a million."

Liu Chengfeng never forgot to boast and exaggerate his own worth.

The mere mention of a lump of yellow earth and a faceless stone statue sends shivers down my spine.

Liu Chengfeng's words really fooled the blackfish; it thought about it and realized he was right.

"If you can glimpse the Abyss of Heaven and give me useful information, I will rescue you."

"Damn, isn't this the one who can save Tianyuan?"

Liu Chengfeng was surprised; he thought this was the Abyss of Heaven. The black fish looked at him with disdain, as if to say, "Ignorant."

What kind of place is Wantianyuan?

Liu Chengfeng asked a lump of yellow earth and a faceless stone statue, but no one answered.

Liu Chengfeng muttered a curse, and no one uttered a sound.

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to tell Fairy Tingyue about the situation.

Fairy Tingyue was astonished, never expecting that Liu Chengfeng possessed such supernatural powers.

"What should I do?"

Fairy Tingyue couldn't help at all, and at that moment she felt utterly useless.

"Leave it to me. I can also venture into the Heavenly Abyss Ghost Nest."

Liu Chengfeng was bold and refused to believe in superstition.

Fairy Tingyue couldn't help but steal a glance at him. This man was never discouraged in a hundred battles, and his fighting spirit was always high.

A man who never gives up is indeed different; he possesses a unique charm.

Liu Chengfeng went all out, putting in all his strength and going all out. He took blood-boosting pills, fed Tianqiu, and frantically rotated, amplifying his senses.

Perception spread wildly, groping deeper into the formless, drowning water, trying to thoroughly explore the entire vortex.

Perceive the waves of diffusion, listen to the myriad realms of heaven and earth.

During his exploration, Liu Chengfeng discovered that the Wanli Black Fish was lying in front of a huge abyss.

"This is Wan Tianyuan—"

Liu Chengfeng realized that this was the place he was looking for.

Pushing their senses, they rushed towards the abyss, but the abyss was bottomless, and all that senses rushed in was darkness.

As darkness descends, even one loses their sense of direction.

"Hold on—"

Liu Chengfeng activated his inner energy cultivation technique, guarded his mind, and made his will as firm as steel.

Forcibly suppressing perception, preventing it from spreading, and forcibly pushing it into the abyss.

The entire process consumes a massive amount of blood and energy; if you can't hold on, you can only continue to take blood-boosting medicine.

The abyss was of unknown depth, but eventually, Liu Chengfeng saw a ray of light.

"It looks promising."

Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed. Tianqiu was turned to smoke, which propelled his senses to penetrate deeply.

From the depths of the abyss, a golden light emanates, and wherever the light shines, it is like a treasure trove of gold. The closer one gets, the brighter the light becomes, making it impossible to look directly at it.

"This is--"

Liu Chengfeng was so dazzled by the golden mountain treasure that he couldn't see clearly, but he could feel the power of the treasure.

He was busy listening, trying to see if he could discover anything.

"Shannan Mountain, Jian Yangchi."

A lament echoes from the golden abyss.

There was hope! Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed, but although he could hear the voice, he couldn't see the figure.

What is Yangchi?

Liu Chengfeng, not seeing him, inquired further.

The Golden Abyss was alarmed, and an invincible power erupted instantly, pushing Liu Chengfeng's senses away.

Like a raging storm, it directly blasted perception out of the abyss.

"what happened to you?"

Liu Chengfeng's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which greatly alarmed Xian Yuezi.

"Damn it, you bastard, I'll kill it one day."

Liu Chengfeng cursed loudly, not knowing what was in the Golden Abyss, and attacked without saying a word.

"What did you find?"

Wanli Blackfish also noticed the commotion and realized that Liu Chengfeng was extraordinary and had made a gain.

"Brother Yu, tell me, what is Yangchi?"

Liu Chengfeng did not answer immediately.

"You know Yangchi? You've seen Yangchi?"

The blackfish got excited, rolled its body, and stirred up a terrifying current that almost overturned the entire Wuxiang Drowning Water.

"Brother Yu, don't get agitated, our lives are in danger."

Liu Chengfeng was horrified. They were swept away by the current and sank rapidly.

Fairy Tingyue paled and instinctively hugged Liu Chengfeng tightly.

The black carp realized what was happening, calmed the current, and lay still.

Liu Chengfeng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me, what did you see?"

The black fish could not contain its excitement. It had been waiting here for who knows how long, but had never seen Yangchi.

A mayfly, yet it knows this in such a short time.

"Although I did not see Yangchi, I know where Yangchi is."

Liu Chengfeng understood that Yangchi was extremely important to Wanli Blackfish.

"Tell me, where is Yangchi? Tell me quickly."

The blackfish was somewhat impatient.

"Brother Fish, our deal is valid."

"efficient."

Wanli Blackfish was very determined.

"Shannan Mountain, Jian Yangchi."

Liu Chengfeng told Wanli Heiyu about the elegy he had heard.

"Shannan Mountain, Shannan Mountain, it must be there, no doubt about it, it must be there."

The black fish was very excited and opened its eyes, which were like stars.

"Brother Yu, you've seen us out."

Liu Chengfeng made Wanli Blackfish fulfill his promise.

"I'll give you a cup."

The black carp exhaled a bubble, its massive body producing only a small one.

Bubbles rose to the surface, and with a "pop," they enveloped Liu Chengfeng and his companion, lifting them both up.

Upon reaching the surface, Liu Chengfeng saw that they were still in the whirlpool, merely floating on the surface of the Wuxiang Drowning Water.

"Brother Yu, we haven't gone out yet."

Seeing the situation, Liu Chengfeng realized that things were not good. Although he had been rescued, he was still in danger.

"I can't enter your world, so I can only send you this far."

Ignoring Liu Chengfeng, the black fish roared and, like a giant dragon, plunged into the abyss.

This time, it did not hesitate and went without looking back.

"Depend on--"

Liu Chengfeng cursed loudly, never expecting such an outcome.

They're sitting in the bubble now, unable to escape the vortex.

The bubble was thin and small, and the two of them squeezed together perfectly.

Liu Chengfeng held Fairy Tingyue in his arms, and Fairy Tingyue wrapped herself around him.

The gesture was ambiguous and awkward.

The Moon Fairy was so embarrassed that she buried her head in Liu Chengfeng's chest, not daring to see anyone.
