Chapter 830: Master Pagodas Quality

Chapter 830: Master Pagoda's Quality

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists!"

Everyone glanced at the shadowy figure without speaking, but they remained on guard, ready to attack if the shadowy figure made any sudden movement.

Zhou Fan smiled. "We're just passing by. Please forgive us for disturbing you."

Zhou Fan opened her palm, and a storage ring containing five Ancestral Veins flew toward the shadowy figure.

Seeing the Ancestral Veins inside the ring, the shadowy figure's demeanor became even more amiable.

"It's nothing, really." It smiled and put the ring away before asking, "Are you going up ahead?"

Zhou Fan nodded. "Yes."

The shadowy figure hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Abyss of Heaven is up ahead, and it's a very dangerous place. You must be careful there."

Zhou Fan asked, "The Abyss of Heaven?"

The shadowy figure explained, "A mysterious cultivator came here long ago and fought one of the guardians of this realm. The place where they fought eventually became the Abyss of Heaven. The guardian was defeated, and its soul became a vengeful spirit that has been haunting the depths of the abyss since then."

Zhou Fan asked, "Was the guardian a Path Creation Realm expert?"

The shadowy figure replied, "Yes."

Everyone present became solemn.

They were only half a step away from the Path Creation Realm, but they knew that the gap between a half-step Path Creation Realm expert and a "true" Path Creation Realm expert was immense.

Zhou Fan asked, "A vengeful spirit?"

The shadowy figure nodded, looking quite solemn as it explained, "Yes, but it is an extremely powerful vengeful spirit. You really have to be careful."

The black-robed middle-aged man suddenly asked, "What lies beyond the Abyss of Heaven?"

"A mysterious pagoda," replied the shadowy figure.

The black-robed middle-aged man asked once again, "Are there divine items in the pagoda?"

The shadowy figure stared at the black-robed middle-aged man and replied, "Guess."

The black-robed middle-aged man's expression froze. He did not show it on his face, but he was feeling quite frustrated deep inside.

Zhou Fan turned to the group and said, "Everyone, the path ahead is dangerous. You should consider retreating if you can't take the risk."

Everyone fell silent. Should they go? The vengeful spirit of a Path Creation Realm expert was up ahead, and the idea of facing it made them feel a bit intimidated.

How about retreating? They had already come this far, and they were unwilling to leave so easily.

Everyone fell into deep contemplation, mulling over the best decision.

Just then, the black-robed middle-aged man said, "I'll go."

Everyone looked at the black-robed middle-aged man, who smiled and explained, "Everyone, this might be our last chance to become a Path Creation Realm expert. After all, we're definitely inside the ruins of a Tier Four civilization. If we leave now, there's a low chance that we'll encounter a place like this again. And that's exactly why I want to take this gamble."

Everyone was quiet for a while before they eventually nodded. Clearly, they were all willing to continue their journey.

They ultimately thought that they'd never be satisfied if they were to leave now.

Zhou Fan nodded. "Let's proceed, then."

"May I join?" the shadowy figure chimed in.

Everyone looked at the shadowy figure.

"I want to take a look at it as well," explained the shadowy figure.

Zhou Fan smiled. "What should we call you?"

The shadowy figure replied, "I'm a Lightning Beast, so just call me that."

If they wanted to take advantage of her kindness and play dumb, they'd ultimately suffer.

With that in mind, some stepped forward, expressing that they owed Zhou Fan a favor.

In the end, Ye Guan was the only one who had yet to declare that he owed Zhou Fan a favor, and he attracted everyone's attention.

Ye Guan glanced at the abyss, but he was still unwilling to owe anyone a favor, so he asked, "Master Pagoda, can you help me out here? Wait, can you even withstand the crossing?"

"You just have to trust in the quality of my pagoda," Little Pagoda replied.

Ye Guan was silent.

Zhou Yuan suddenly said, "Young Master Ye, my brothers and I can fight."

Ye Guan smiled and shook his head. There was no way he'd let Zhou Yuan and the others fight that vengeful spirit.

They'd most likely die against it, as it was a "true" Path Creation Realm expert.

Ye Guan stared at Zhou Fan and was about to speak when Zhou Fan transmitted, "Young Master Ye, I'm not trying to play any tricks here. The artifact is indeed a family heirloom and can only be used once every one hundred years, but don't overthink it. You don't have to feel like you owe me a favor. I consider you a friend, after all. Talking about favors between friends is like talking about money between husband and wife—tumultuous."

With that, Zhou Fan activated the black bell in her hand.

Boom!

The black bell trembled violently, and then it expanded, enveloping everyone present.

Under Zhou Fan's control, the black bell floated forward. The black bell concealed their auras, allowing them to hide from the restrictions all over the place.

Ye Guan glanced at Zhou Fan.

Sensing Ye Guan's gaze, Zhou Fan turned and smiled before focusing on the black bell.

Soon, everyone found themselves above the abyss.

The pitch-black abyss seemed bottomless from above. It was an incredibly terrifying sight.

Everyone's expressions became solemn at the sight.

Ye Guan's eyes were solemn as well, as he could feel a faint threat to his life.

He felt like he was in danger!

A true Path Creation Realm expert? Ye Guan stared into the bottomless, pitch-black abyss.

The Qingxuan Sword inside the tiny pagoda quivered, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Ye Guan dared not put his faith in the black bell. In a place like this, trusting oneself was always the safer bet.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura suddenly shot up from the depths of the abyss.

Boom!

The black bell trembled violently, and everyone felt a wave of dizziness. Then, they heard a terrifying crack.

Moments later, countless cracks appeared all over the black bell at once.

Everyone's faces changed drastically.

Zhou Fan made the black bell move away.

Just as they were about to pass through the abyss, a towering black hand shot up from the depths of the abyss and punched the black bell.

Boom!

The black bell shattered into pieces.

Zhou Fan's face turned grim and she growled, "Liar, you promised me that it can handle three attacks!"

Rumble!

A horrifying wave of energy swept toward everyone. It engulfed them in the blink of an eye and dragged them into the bottomless abyss.
