Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Yunping repeated himself, and just as he was thinking of what else to ask, Lin Yuan suddenly closed her eyes, her small body swayed twice, and she fell weakly into Yunping's arms.

...He fainted.

Yunping was quite frightened and immediately began to check on the little guy's condition. If something went wrong, Yunping would be extremely worried.

However, the situation was not that serious. Yunping discovered that Lin Yuan's consciousness had only briefly fallen into a state of deep sleep, but neither her body nor her soul had suffered any damage... which was the same as sleeping.

However... the reason behind it is too mysterious.

So mysterious that Yunping could only find out the truth by going to the Blackwater Abyss.

Meanwhile, Fang Yan, who had witnessed this sudden turn of events, immediately approached. Looking at Yun Ping, who was slowly embracing Lin Yuan, his expression worried, he asked, "What happened to this young lady... could it be...?"

"It's alright, this girl is just tired, it's nothing."

Yun Ping forced a fake smile. To be honest, he wasn't in a good mood. He looked at Fang Yan with a faint expression and said, "Speaking of which, your original goal was to go to Blackwater Abyss, right?"

"Ah...that's true..."

"Then come with me, I know where Blackwater Abyss is."

"...Huh?" Fang Yan was stunned and couldn't say anything else for a moment.

Even Chu Xin was shocked by Yun Ping's words. What was going on? Didn't this person say that he entered the Dragon Bone Wasteland by chance? Why did he suddenly say that he was going to take them to the Blackwater Abyss?

It is important to know that Blackwater Abyss is an extremely mysterious place. In fact, it can be said that Blackwater Abyss is the most mysterious place in the entire Desolate Heaven Domain. This is because Blackwater Abyss has completely disappeared more than 500 years ago, making it extremely difficult to find the hiding place of the dragons.

Even Chu Xin and her group, after investigating the Dragon Bone Wasteland five times, could only barely deduce that the Blackwater Abyss was in a vague location.

"What, you don't believe me?" Yunping's expression turned particularly cold at this moment. "If you don't believe me, then we'll go there ourselves."

"Wait a minute..." Chu Xin suddenly spoke up, stopping Yun Ping, "Aren't you from a nearby village? How do you know where Blackwater Abyss is? And what are you going to Blackwater Abyss for?"

With these two questions posed, both Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue turned their attention to Yun Ping.

The meaning is clear: you are the teacher, so you should speak.

This moment.

Yunping was too lazy to argue with these people anymore.

He initially agreed to join them because he saw that Fang Yan was a kind-hearted kid and he himself didn't like causing trouble.

After all, they are members of the imperial royal family, and they have a lot of influence. Yunping didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

But things are different now. Yuan'er suddenly ran into trouble, and Yunping, who values ​​his disciple more than anything else, is too lazy to play around with them anymore.

Instantly, that terrifying pressure transformed into an overwhelming force that slammed down on Chu Xin.

"Women, don't ask too many meaningless questions."

"If you want to go, come with me. If you don't want to go, then hurry up and go your own way."

After Yunping finished speaking, he didn't listen to Chu Xin's reply and waved his hand.

He then led Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan directly toward the Blackwater Abyss.

He glanced at Lin Yuan, who was panting heavily in his arms and whose body was burning hot, and felt a chill in his heart.

My dear little darling, please don't let anything happen to you!

—On the other side

Chu Xin was stunned by Yun Ping's two sentences and it took her a while to react.

Fortunately, Yun Ping and the others hadn't gone far yet. She glanced at her two disciples beside her, and then stared intently at Fang Yan, who was completely dumbfounded.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked.

"Do you... think we should believe what he says?"

Fang Yan paused, then gasped, "I think... it's worth a try."

“It’s already inconceivable that ordinary people would come to the Dragonbone Wasteland.” The royal member surnamed Li’s smile faded, and he said with utmost seriousness, “They definitely don’t look like ordinary people…”

"Then let's follow them."

In the end, it was Chu Xin who spoke.

So the three of them quickly followed after him.

However, there was one thing that Chu Xin found strange, or rather, quite surprising.

Just as that seemingly ordinary young man looked at her, she, a cultivator at the Void Transformation stage, felt a chill she had never experienced before for a moment.

That was the feeling that instantly plunged her soul into an icy abyss, causing her mind to tremble violently...

In layman's terms—

It's fear.

21. Azure Sky and Colorful Array

Blackwater Abyss is one of the few ancient forces that has existed since the time of antiquity.

Millions of years have passed since the ancient times, and the Blackwater Abyss has not been erased from history despite such a long period of change, which shows that the Blackwater Abyss was a powerful and extraordinary force.

If you ask why, the reason is quite simple—

Because Blackwater Abyss is the lair of the black dragons.

If that were all, it wouldn't pose a significant threat. After all, a black dragon is just a black dragon. Although dragons have always been dominant figures throughout history, it doesn't mean they can survive for millions of years.

There are always a few reckless individuals who want to seize Blackwater Abyss.

But they all failed.

Because of the master of the Blackwater Abyss, that Black Dragon King.

Since ancient times, it has always followed Emperor Wu Gu Tianren. As his most loyal companion, it has accompanied Emperor Wu through his glorious life.

In terms of cultivation level, the Black Dragon King's cultivation level surpasses that of a saint...

Reaching the level of a half-immortal.

What kind of person is Emperor Gu Tianren?

The greatest immortal of all time, in an era when spiritual energy was extremely scarce, natural treasures were even more lacking, cultivation techniques were incomplete, and the cultivation system was immature, he single-handedly pioneered a martial path, proved his Dao to become a saint, and then ascended to immortality.

How could the black dragon that followed him throughout his life not have some special skills?

It was precisely because of the Black Dragon King's presence that Blackwater Abyss survived and remained the most terrifying place in the entire Desolate Heaven Domain until more than 500 years ago.

The problem is that Blackwater Abyss disappeared from the world during the calamity more than 500 years ago, and since then, there has been no news about it.

Some say that the Blackwater Abyss was wiped out by Emperor Wen in a fit of rage; others say that the entire Blackwater Abyss moved to another place; still others say that the Blackwater Abyss is simply hiding somewhere, quietly recuperating.

There are many different opinions—but none of them have conclusive evidence.

Even Chu Xin, who had studied Emperor Wen for decades, could only barely deduce from some clues that the Blackwater Abyss was hidden somewhere in the Dragon Bone Wasteland.

But she had never even seen the Blackwater Abyss before.

Holding Lin Yuan in his arms, Yun Ping ignored the skeptical looks on the faces of the three imperial figures behind him and led Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue through the vast snowfield.

He knew exactly where Blackwater Abyss was.

In less than ten minutes, Yunping led the group behind him to the foot of a towering, icy mountain.

"here it is……"

Seeing Yunping suddenly stop, Chu Xin immediately realized that this might be their destination.

There aren't many mountains in Dragonbone Waste, but they're not rare either; you might catch a glimpse of one every few hundred meters.

She thought back carefully and realized that she had explored this place before, but just like other places, there were no clues or traces.

"It can be considered the entrance to a secret realm."

"A secret realm?" Fang Yan peeked out from behind Chu Xin. "Weren't we going to Blackwater Abyss? How did we get involved with a secret realm again?"

"Some ancient ruins left over from prehistoric times, in order to prevent them from being stolen by people of later generations, would have a secret place set up in front of the ruins to resist or filter out those who were not qualified."

Chu Xin gave a complete answer to Fang Yan's question.

"Blackwater Abyss seems to be the same, but where is this secret realm...?"

Chu Xin looked around but did not find any place nearby that resembled a secret realm.

Logically speaking, the existence of a secret realm is extremely special, equivalent to a small, independent world outside of the rest of the world. Strange fluctuations that do not belong to this space will constantly linger around the secret realm, and anyone in the vicinity should be able to sense them.

Even with Chu Xin's cultivation at the Void Transformation stage, he couldn't sense any strange aura.

Moreover, secret realms are usually constructed based on the remains or soul of a powerful cultivator, and she had never heard of any esteemed master dying in this Dragon Bone Wasteland.

Could it be that someone deliberately found a skeleton and intentionally created a secret realm?

If that's the case, then why couldn't she detect any traces of what appeared to be a secret realm?

Can't figure it out.

I don't understand.

Chu Xin stared with doubtful eyes at the young man holding the little girl not far away—his face was as cold as water, and his absolutely calm expression was like a mirror that would not be disturbed by any storm.

From the moment the little girl fainted, his expression remained unchanged.

The calm was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"Yu Chan, do you see that protruding rock on your left?"

"Stone……?"

Ye Yuchan looked in the direction Yunping indicated, and indeed, on a small mound of earth buried in snow very close to her, there was a small, slightly protruding silver stone.

If you don't look closely, it doesn't seem easy to spot.

"I saw it."

"Pour your spiritual energy into it. Remember, pour it in slowly, don't be too impatient."

"Row!"

Ye Yuchan understood what she meant. Her "Thousand-Ren" technique would make the spiritual energy in her body extremely sharp. If it were injected all at once, the stone would probably be shattered into dust.
