Chapter 284

Hiss...

Jiang Yan felt somewhat numb.

After all that trouble with the Abyss Mages, Jiang Yan's understanding of the Abyss had deepened further.

Witnessing firsthand how an Abyss Mage is born—that is indeed a further deepening of one's understanding of the Abyss.

However, Jiang Yan did not linger his gaze on this group of Abyss Mages for too long.

He intended to continue flying deeper into the Abyss to investigate.

The center of the Abyss!

It was also a good opportunity to observe how such a vast Abyss was formed.

Along the way, Jiang Yan saw many Abyss Mages busy with their own tasks.

Some Abyss Mages were summoning new Abyss Mages.

While others were mining a type of stone that emitted a purple glow.

Tsk.

How to put it?

After flying for most of the day, Jiang Yan felt that all these products of the Abyss were particularly strange.

How should one describe this strange feeling?

Jiang Yan could not put it into words.

But he just felt it was odd.

It was as if... a group of machines divided up with specific work.

Everyone seemed to have their own task to busy themselves with.

As Jiang Yan flew on like this, suddenly, he saw a surging mass in the far distance ahead.

Jiang Yan squinted his eyes, as if trying to make out what that was?

But even though Jiang Yan had tried his hardest to focus his pupils, that surging mass remained unclear.

Damn, is it still a problem of distance?

Jiang Yan thought with some surprise.

His vision was extraordinarily sharp, yet looking in that direction, it remained blurry and indistinct.

Immediately, without any hesitation, Jiang Yan directly activated his acceleration mode, and his flight speed suddenly increased by a notch!

Finally, as he drew closer, Jiang Yan finally saw what that surging mass actually was.

Fog!

Yes, black fog with tiny specks of purple light!

Gazing at that fog, Jiang Yan felt a chill crawl up his spine.

And behind this fog was a mountain wall.

Yes, it was a mountain wall.

It felt as if this underground Abyss had been forcibly carved out deep beneath the surface of the Teyvat Continent by someone.

But what kind of thing could build such a vast area without being discovered by the surface dwellers, and moreover, produce so many Abyss monsters!

Jiang Yan looked around, confirmed there were indeed no other paths nearby, only the mountain wall, and then landed on the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk... If I were to punch through the mountain wall in front of me, what would happen?"

After weighing the matter for a while, Jiang Yan ultimately abandoned this idea.

Not to mention he did not know how thick the mountain wall in front of him was.

If Jiang Yan really did punch through it, no one would know what lay beyond the mountain wall.

If this truly was the underground of Teyvat, Jiang Yan smashing the mountain wall might cause damage to the very foundation of Teyvat.

This was something Jiang Yan was unwilling to see.

"Tsk, I should return for now."

After observing the mountain wall for a long time without result, Jiang Yan decided to return the way he came.

"Umm... Are you... my lord the Chanters?"

Just as Jiang Yan was about to leave, a tiny voice abruptly sounded from not far away.

There, an Electro Abyss Mage walked over trembling, fear flashing in his bean-sized eyes.

Jiang Yan's heart gave a start, and he quickly assumed the posture of an Abyss Chanter.

"You, why are you here!"

Jiang Yan's indifferent voice rang out from behind the mask, causing the Electro Abyss Mage opposite him to shudder violently.

"M-my lord, I was ordered to prepare the Tide-Calling Ritual here!"

The Tide-Calling Ritual?

The eyes beneath Jiang Yan's mask narrowed slightly.

He hadn't expected that this trip would yield another discovery!

His intuition told Jiang Yan that this Tide-Calling Ritual was absolutely not simple!

"Oh? Is that so, then how is your preparation going?"

Although puzzled about what exactly this Tide-Calling Ritual was, Jiang Yan could not reveal that he did not know.

As an Abyss Chanter, if he didn't even know about the ritual, the Electro Abyss Mage would suspect him.

Jiang Yan suddenly regretted not carefully reviewing the memories within the Violet Lightning Soul.

At that time, Jiang Yan had browsed them very roughly in order to quickly obtain the coordinates of the Abyss.

The key was that after finishing his review, he directly erased the Violet Lightning.

To be honest, how would he know what kind of ritual the Abyss even has?

"Reporting to my lord, it is nearly all completed."

"I was just about to return to Abyss City to report this matter, and here I have met you."

The Electro Abyss Mage spoke respectfully.

Abyss City forever?

Jiang Yan felt that the things he discovered were becoming ever more numerous.

"Hmm, very good."

"I originally intended to come and check, but since you have already finished, follow me back together."

Jiang Yan said to the Electro Abyss Mage in a faint tone.
