Chapter 465: Ember of Memories!

Samsara and Abyss.

These are the names of the other two Abyss Monarchs that had not yet appeared in Su Ping's memories.

And when these two names appeared in Su Ping's sea of consciousness.

Su Ping also obtained the relevant information along with them.

The most common true form of Samsara is that of manipulating invisible threads attached to billions of puppets with various appearances.

Worlds that It takes a fancy to and pockets will, under Its manipulation, repeatedly reenact a certain period of history in a cycle of samsara.

Within this repeatedly recurring samsara performance, It will occasionally add variables to seek opportunities for self-breakthrough.

In a world under such repetitive samsara, only after it has been worn down to the limit and turned into dregs will it be thrown back into the Abyss by this Lord of Samsara to become a part of the Abyss.

As for the monarch named Abyss.

It is the most mysterious and unfathomable existence among the Abyss Seven Monarchs.

The reason It can be crowned with the name of Abyss is largely because It possesses all the abilities of the other six monarchs.

Even when the other Abyss Monarchs grow stronger, It will grow stronger as well.

It can be called the Great Successor after the six are combined into one.

Therefore, It is considered to be the human-form manifestation of a subjective consciousness that is part of the Abyss consciousness itself.

However, because It is so powerful.

It results in the fact that, compared to the other six Abyss Monarchs, the difficulty for It to leap out of the Memory River is also the greatest.

If one wants to make It appear.

I am afraid it will require a quite exaggerated challenge level to have any hope of doing so.

"Whew!"

"This time is really..."

Su Ping muttered, and after a light chuckle.

He chose to temporarily seal this memory related to the Abyss and turned to have a full meal first.

With a movement of his mind, delicacies made from top-tier ingredients from different Cultivation Worlds appeared on the dining table before Su Ping.

After eating and drinking his fill, and having put himself in a pleasant mood, Su Ping began to study the Abyss-related plans again.

It is not something that can be done simply for the Abyss Monarchs to walk out of the Memory River.

Su Ping needs to continue using the Abyss Challenge to generate Abyss influence in the North King Time Domain.

In this regard, besides high-level Abyss Challenges, the regularly updated Abyss Challenges also need to be utilized; according to the knowledge provided by the Abyss Monarchs, find the singularities in the Shikong Haiyu, and then use ordinary Abyss Challenges there to open space-time rifts leading to the Abyss.

These space-time rifts can be wrapped up using Abyss Gray Soil refined through Abyss knowledge.

During the period when the space-time rifts are wrapped, time stops and they will not disappear, yet it still counts as a victory for Su Ping's challenge.

Through such repeated operations, and after these space-time singularities are completed.

Use an Abyss Monarch projection or avatar formed through a super-high-difficulty challenge to attract the arrival of Chaos.

And after Chaos enters the field, Su Ping completes the prepared Abyss Resonance Grand Array.

Enabling that Abyss Monarch's true form to briefly descend successfully and capture Chaos.

Finally, through the erosion of Chaos, at the cost of the entire Chaos force, they can return from the Memory River to the Abyss in reality.

According to the analysis of the Abyss Monarchs.

In the whole process, the easiest part is actually the process of capturing, eroding, and sacrificing Chaos.

The hardest part is how to make the true form of Chaos descend.

The most critical part... is that once the overall situation is settled, it requires Su Ping, this Cave Heaven Master, to agree to let them break free from the Memory River.

After Su Ping understood most of it.

He suddenly felt something in his heart and went to the Fox God's Shrine.

In the Shrine, Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura, who was already the acting Shrine Maiden, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, her eyes flashing with purple light staring intently at Su Ping as he walked in.

A phantom of a beautiful woman with nine tails appeared on her body.

Indicating that at this very moment, the one possessing Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura was the Fox God herself.

"Giggle, this seat is already aware of the Cave Master's doubts."

"Actually, the Cave Master has already guessed it in your heart, haven't you?"

"That's right."

【We are all the... remaining... at the time of the annihilation of the previous epoch in the Memory River!】

【Ember!】

【We, because of memory, were able to leave behind the last glimmer of hope to regain a life.】

【Naturally, because of this, under the authority of memory, we need to make some trade-offs.】

Hearing this, Su Ping knew it was about the same as what he had guessed. After his heart settled, he sat cross-legged and asked:

"So, are you also going to issue tasks to me, letting me help you return from the Memory River as well?"

Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura flickered a few times, but she shook her head gently.

"We are different from them."

"If we want to return, we can only pin our hopes on your growth, Cave Master."

"When one day, Cave Master, you can make everything in the Pot Heaven appear outside."

"We will also be able to truly walk out of the Memory River."

Having said this, the Nine-Tailed Fox God did not continue.

Su Ping, however, understood what had been left unsaid.

Perhaps this was the trade-off She had mentioned earlier.

Even if they could return to reality and gain a new life.

These Embers, who have already been bound to the Pot Heaven and can only emerge by relying on special structures.

Even if they gained a new life, I fear they would still be bound by the Pot Heaven and under my control.

Hmm... thinking about how I might have various gods and saints helping me under my command in the future, I still feel a little excited.

…………

Cultivation World, North King Time Domain.

In the Xiayu where the Xuanling World is located, an Immortal Boat from the Xuanling World finally jumped out of the Time-Space Turbulence after sailing for a week, appearing in a stable Shikong Haiyu.

This Shikong Haiyu was already approaching the edge of the Xiayu.

Standing on the deck, looking far into the distance through the Barrier.

One could see, at the limit of one's vision in the distance, thousands of colorful ribbons drifting.

Those ribbons emitted dazzling halos.

Those halos were dangerous zones formed by high-intensity Time-Space Turbulence constantly colliding with each other.

The level of danger was much higher than a time-space vortex, and the upper limit was difficult to estimate.

Even the Heavenly Immortals of the Three Great Alliances knew very little about the Shikong Haiyu within these halos.

Su Ping's Avatar, disguised as an unremarkable Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Stood on the deck, gazing at the halos and clicking his tongue in wonder at this spectacle of the North King Time Domain.

"Every time I come here, I'm a bit curious about what's behind the halos."

"Could it be another vast and boundless Time Domain?"

Beside Su Ping's Avatar, an old woman at the Transformation Realm sighed, her voice prompting a pair of young man and woman beside her to chime in.

"Behind it should be the endless Void, right?"

Su Ping's Avatar thought for a moment and answered earnestly; after answering, he noticed the young man and woman looking over, so he hurriedly smiled and said:

"I'm just guessing."

"The endless Void? I've read in family records that it seems to be the place where all worlds go after they die; it is the underworld of the worlds."

"It's also the nest of those terrifying Void Creatures, right?"

The male Cultivator thought for a moment, and after saying this, he introduced it eagerly.

He was called Xiahou Ling, and beside him was his own younger sister, Xiahou Qing.

They were both disciples of the Xiahou Family.

And after mentioning the three words "Xiahou Family".

Su Ping's Avatar clearly noticed that the gazes of the surrounding Cultivators toward this pair of young male and female Cultivators all carried a trace of solemnity and wariness.

Su Ping's Avatar himself also quickly realized what was going on.

The Xiahou Family, huh... isn't this the Xiahou Zhishi whom I specifically named to help manage the Xuanling World?

Hmm, the subordinate family valued by me rises to prominence, and the family members are held in high regard... there's nothing wrong with that.

More or less, they can be considered to have hitched a ride on the tiger skin of the Xuanling World.

Everyone now knows that the Xuanling World is under the protection of the Salvation Lineage.

In one fell swoop, they can also be considered to have this layer of connection.

It would be strange if they weren't noticed and feared by others.

Su Ping's Avatar also sized up these two young Cultivators.

Their true age did not exceed thirty.

Yet one was at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, and the other was at the Nascent Soul early stage.

Even considering the family heritage, deep foundations, and no shortage of Spirit Pills and medicines.

They could still be called talented.

Of course, compared to me, they are still not worth looking at.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Immortal Boat came to a complete stop.

Then, a masked female Cultivator draped in a golden gauze dress appeared above the Immortal Boat.

The pressure of a Return to Void cultivator also descended from this female Cultivator, causing all the Cultivators except Su Ping's Avatar to tremble.

"For this trip, the Duobao Immortal Boat will stay here for seventy-two hours."

"Everyone must pay attention to the time; we will not wait for those who are late."

After finishing this warning, the female Cultivator scanned the area and then softened her tone:

"The Duobao Chamber of Commerce always marks its prices clearly and never cheats customers!"

"As long as you can dig up Starry Sky Stone in this Time-Space Turbulence, all promises can be fulfilled on the spot."

"Alright, I wish you all success in everything that follows; you may all set off."

After the masked female Cultivator finished speaking, she waved her arm.

The Barrier in front of the Immortal Boat disappeared.

Immediately, the Wind Technique carrying the Time-Space Turbulence cut over like knives.

The Cultivators on the deck all manifested various types of Protective Spiritual Light.

There were also those with poorer cultivation who used protective Spirit Treasures or Talismans to resist this Time-Space Turbulence.

"Farewell!"

A few Cultivators cupped their hands in salute, flew out of the Immortal Boat, and after choosing a direction, turned into streaks of light and sped away.

Su Ping's Avatar watched them leave, was the last to step off the deck, and then his figure moved and disappeared.

The masked female Cultivator narrowed her eyes.

As an Elder of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce, she also sensed the uniqueness of Su Ping's Avatar.

However, these days, there are plenty of unique Cultivators.

Allowing Cultivators to have their own little secrets is practically an unspoken rule for everyone.

As long as the other party doesn't cause trouble, or cause trouble within one's own jurisdiction, no one wants to stir up extra issues.

Furthermore, the masked female Cultivator had also checked the information on Su Ping's Avatar and discovered that the other party had a guarantee certificate from an enforcement Elder of the Xuanling World, so she felt even more at ease.

Su Ping's Avatar had a clear objective; after only a short while, he entered a region of turbulence and, amidst the layers of turbulence, found a Small World within.

It was a dying Small World, somewhat like those planets in the Water Blue Star World.

The surface had already turned into a wasteland under the erosion of the Time-Space Turbulence, and the entire Small World lacked even a shred of life force.

Yet, it is precisely in such a cruel environment that there is a probability of finding a precious treasure, the Starry Sky Stone, within these Small Worlds.

It is this special mineral that has attracted batch after batch of Cultivators to come and explore.

The Duobao Chamber of Commerce noticed this business opportunity very early on.

As early as a thousand years ago, the Duobao Chamber of Commerce opened this route, specifically to transport those adventurous Cultivators to explore this place and purchase Starry Sky Stones.

Because the purchase price was fair, this commercial route has always operated stably.

After Su Ping settled into the Xuanling World, following the outbreak of the great war, the demand for Starry Sky Stones increased significantly.

This actually led to an increase in the number of Cultivators wanting to make a quick buck.

This caused this shipping route to become more frequent as well.

There were even proposals within the Duobao Chamber of Commerce to form their own exploration team.

It was just that there are truly too many accidents that occur in the Time-Space Turbulence near the edges.

Although it seems that Golden Core Cultivators can enter and discover Starry Sky Stones by relying on Spirit Treasures.

But once an accident occurs, such as a suddenly appearing time-space vortex or Space Storm.

It can instantly cause even a Return to Void Cultivator to be smashed to pieces!

After thinking it over repeatedly, the Duobao Chamber of Commerce decided not to earn this money after all, and just do a good job with the transport work.

Su Ping's Avatar could feel that among the Cultivators traveling together this time, although most were there to mine Starry Sky Stones.

There were also a few who had other motives.

However, Su Ping's Avatar couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

As long as they didn't come to hinder him, it was fine.

Only.

When Su Ping stood on the surface of the Small World within the Time-Space Turbulence, he used the updated Abyss Challenge function.

After starting an Ordinary Challenge here.

A time-space rift emerged.

Then, following a single glance from Su Ping's Avatar.

The Abyss monsters of the ordinary difficulty were wiped out in an instant.

At the same time, gray soil emerged and wrapped around the time-space rift.

Forming a gray line.

The time-space rift was solidified within it.

This gray soil was the Abyss Gray Soil that Su Ping's true self had created using Abyss knowledge.

This Abyss Gray Soil requires the use of a large amount of special minerals as well as the power of faith in the Abyss.

Fortunately, Su Ping has the Water Blue Star World, and it is not a big problem to have a portion of the aliens there become believers of the Abyss.

As for the materials, although they are hard to find, it is still possible to produce enough Abyss Gray Soil for several locations by relying on existing stock.

What is missing can only be accumulated slowly.

The conditions were met, but for Su Ping's Avatar, this was only the beginning.

After all, one must prevent external forces from appearing and destroying this place.

Although the Abyss Gray Soil itself has astonishing defensive power, and cannot be shaken in the slightest without a finishing move from someone above the Heavenly Immortal level.

But accidents must always be guarded against.

Su Ping's Avatar set up a grand array in the surroundings.

First, he let the time-space rift submerge into a Dongtian, so it would not appear in the perception of outsiders.

Afterward, Su Ping made multiple arrangements within the Dongtian, and even left behind a phantom of the Jianmu tree.

Then, having finished all this, Su Ping emerged from the Dongtian.

He was slightly startled to see the young Xiahou siblings flying toward him, covered in blood, and crying out for help after seeing Su Ping's Avatar.

"Daoist, help!"

"We will surely reward you handsomely!"

Before the words of these young Cultivators had even faded.

A sinister, cackling laughter rang out from behind them.

An aged voice came over, not telling Su Ping to mind his own business, but instead:

"We are indeed fated!"

"Your blood and Qi as a Cultivator are exceptionally vigorous, and although the spiritual light within your body is restrained, it cannot hide from this seat's divine eyes."

"You must be someone who possesses a special Spirit Body!"

"Compared to you, those Xiahou Family siblings are merely appetizers."
