Chapter 347: Chapter 312: Serendipity Quest

"Return to the Nether Abyss!"

His original plan was to build a large ship mainly made of Chuyun Wood, then unite the people of the Seven Profound Gang and the Giant Whale Gang to go out to sea in search of the whirlpool location, and then find a way to cross the whirlpool and return to the Nether Abyss.

Unexpectedly, the ’whirlpool’ actually appeared on its own!

If he guessed right, that giant turtle’s big mouth, or rather, the space rift within the giant turtle’s mouth, was the giant whirlpool that only appeared once a year.

He had no idea why today the giant turtle’s head unexpectedly reached out on its own and swallowed many cultivators?

What exactly happened?

Is it its habit?

Or perhaps something on the island is attracting it?

But no matter what, this is also an opportunity.

As long as he could rush into the giant turtle’s mouth...

He subconsciously looked towards the direction of the group in white, particularly the person leading them.

Master.

And it seemed the master also felt someone was looking at him, suddenly turning to see Chen Hu, who had just killed his disciple, or rather, his follower.

Chen Hu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, White Lotus Eternal Life Sect, Bai Cangmu!

This person was one of the rare Nascent Soul Stage cultivators on the Spiritless Island!

Spiritless Island did not lack Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

But other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators saw their cultivation dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye because there was no spiritual Qi here, eventually turning into mortals.

Moreover, as most Nascent Soul cultivators had long lifespans, their remaining lifespan quickly depleted under the dissipation of spiritual Qi, and they soon perished.

Yet only Bai Cangmu of the White Lotus Eternal Life Sect before him used some unknown means to maintain a certain level of strength on the Spiritless Island.

He occupied the largest of the three islands and even established a branch of the White Lotus Eternal Life Sect, making it the strongest force on Spiritless Island!

Currently, he is leading his disciples and followers to find a way to return to the Nether Abyss through the Profound Celestial Spirit Turtle.

As he looked at Chen Hu’s figure, Bai Cangmu suddenly smiled.

In an instant, Chen Hu felt as if white petals appeared in front of his eyes, and his mind was momentarily in a daze.

But this daze lasted only a moment, and he quickly regained his senses.

At this time, two figures were already charging towards him.

"Kill!"

"You killed my sect member, prepare to die!"

Two disciples of the White Lotus Eternal Life Sect, each holding a long blade, swiftly charged from the left and right.

"Divine Thought!"

Chen Hu muttered under his breath, no longer looking at Bai Cangmu’s eyes. He leaped up with a jolt, his legs kicking sideways, immediately sending the two charging disciples flying.

"Crack" "Crack!"

The crisp sound of bones breaking resounded, their chest bones completely shattered, and they spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then their bodies went limp, lying motionless on the ground.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Hu immediately darted away, heading towards the giant turtle’s head.

He did not want to waste time here.

"Haha, interesting, to have cultivated Martial Dao to such a realm in the Spiritless Land."

Bai Cangmu chuckled, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Master, what’s the matter?"

A nearby woman asked curiously, to which Bai Cangmu replied flatly, "I spotted someone with good potential, someone meant to be a Protector for my White Lotus Eternal Life Sect."

The woman said, "Since Master deemed it suitable, then it is also this person’s fate."

"Let’s go."

Looking at the giant turtle’s head, Bai Cangmu said, "That giant turtle’s head seems to be returning to the water; we should not waste any more time."

"Understood!"

"There might be a fight shortly; have the sect members gather together and protect themselves as much as possible."

"A fight?"

The woman asked curiously, "The passage back to the Nether Abyss is just ahead; how could there be a fight?"

"Heh~"

Bai Cangmu chuckled coldly, "Yes, the passage is just ahead, but with the nature of us cultivators, how could we not attempt to gain something before leaving?"

"Gaining something?"

The woman was even more puzzled, "This is Spiritless Island; there’s nothing containing spiritual Qi on the island; how is that even possible..."

Bai Cangmu did not reply. Instead, he stared at the storage bag fastened to the woman’s waist.

The storage bag was silvery white and engraved with a silver lotus, looking very exquisite.

The woman’s eyes flashed suddenly, and she whispered, "Master, Zhirui understands."

"What you are referring to... should be the storage bags of the cultivators here."

"Spiritless Island is devoid of spiritual Qi; if anything holds value, it would only be the storage bags in the cultivators’ possession."

"Since the storage bags cannot be opened, the contents inside would still be intact..."

The two conversed as they walked, and things unfolded according to their words.

Cultivators, including some from the Nether Spirit Race, had already begun battling, vying for the roads and trying to seize each other’s storage bags.

During this time, within the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, a message appeared in Zheng Yi’s mind.

[You witnessed the True Spirit, Profound Celestial Spirit Turtle, consuming spiritual Qi; Power of Time +5.]

points of Power of Time!

Zheng Yi’s heart trembled; this amount was equivalent to half of witnessing the entrance to the Nether Abyss.

It seems this True Spirit, known as the Profound Celestial Spirit Turtle, is even more formidable.

"A True Spirit, huh, but unfortunately not something my current self can contend with. The opportunity now is..."

In a cave, Guiyun Wanderer watched as many from the White Lotus Eternal Life Sect departed, speculating in his mind, and preparing to leave this place.

At this moment, the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment hanging around his neck suddenly emitted a faint spiritual Qi fluctuation.

"Hmm?"

He quickly took it out to look, his eyes brightening slightly.

A line of text appeared on the mirror surface again.

[Opportunity Mission: A suddenly appearing True Spirit, within the mouth of the Profound Celestial Spirit Turtle, hides a space rift leading to the Nether Abyss. Amidst the scramble of many cultivators, pass through the space rift as quickly as possible and return to the Nether Abyss!]

[Mission Reward: A wisp of Innate Spiritual Qi.]

[Mission Penalty: System unbinding.]

Zheng Yi’s Divine Thought enveloped the entire island, having already overheard Bai Cangmu and the woman’s conversation.

Not only did this group of cultivators want to return to the Nether Abyss, but he also had to return to the Nether Abyss.

Otherwise, he would be imprisoned on Spiritless Island for life.

Looking at the line of text, Guiyun Wanderer chuckled.

"Finally, it’s here... the system’s second function?"

"And, the path back to the Nether Abyss?"

"No wonder the people of the White Lotus Eternal Life Sect would come out in full force; it turns out it’s for this."

"Then I... will be unreserved!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

With a thought, three black shadows suddenly appeared, standing behind him.

"On this island, kill at will all except those dressed in white, and take their storage bags, understood?"

"Roar...!"

Three low roars resounded, followed by the three Copper Corpses transforming into three black shadows, darting out of the cave.

Guiyun Wanderer followed closely behind.

"Ah...!"

Not even ten breaths since leaving the cave, a scream echoed from the nearby mountain forest.

A black-clad masked individual was resolutely held by two Copper Corpses, eagerly gnawing on his flesh and blood.

Copper Corpses!

Without magical power, they could fully rely on cultivators’ flesh and blood to compensate for their own consumption while also being able to cast spells similar to innate divine powers.

"Roar!"

After devouring the black-clad figure, the two Copper Corpses roared again, darting towards the crowd.

Guiyun Wanderer advanced, retrieving a storage bag from the tattered corpse.

"Hehehe, the first one!"
