Chapter 355 - In to the Abyss(Part-1)

Zywia scrunched her face in disgust as she watched her fellow cultivators literally tearing the place apart for any valuable, even if she herself was keeping an eye out for some she was not so desperate to literally destroy the eggs and everything that unfortunately fell in front of their eyes was torn asunder.

As she moved she heard a few of the cultivators grumbling about the loss of precious nucleus of the great beast as well as its essence, the all blamed the unknown mysterious cultivator for stealing the nucleus as well as the essence making Zywia snort as that after all since he defeated the beast by rights it is his.

Her attention then fell on Ryuu who looked bored and looked as if he wanted to move to the next level already, he did not look excited for any treasure at all as he yawned loudly as he spoke, "Damn where is the doorway to the other level, it's so boring I so want my precious bed."

The others who heard him snorted at that as Su-Min spoke, "There are so many treasures here surely you would want try to find some?"

Ryuu lazily raised his hand as he pointed towards a direction as others looked at it before they face took a look of disgust as they saw a bunch of cultivators fighting each other like hungry dogs after a piece of bread as he spoke with disgust in his voice, "I am not so desperate that I would like to lower myself like this people over there, it is pathetic."

The others could not help but nod at that while Ryuu sighed inwardly, 'If it were not for the vast resources that my teachers lavishly spend on me, I would be like them scavenging for what little left over that the big shot cultivators would have graciously left behind.

Ryuu looked towards as he spoke with a huff, "We do not have time let us search for a way out of this place."

The others nodded at that before they were once again interrupted by a melodious voice, "Daoist Ryuu, please wait."

They turned around as they were greeted by Frost Flames who gave them a small nod of her hand as Ryuu spoke, "Daoist sister, how may I help you?"

Frost Flames spoke in the same icy stoic voice she had used since they had first met, "While searching one of us had come across a cave painting of some sort, since you were the one who had caused the entire thing to start I would request if you would share your insight on it, many of us have reached the conclusion that the painting is the next clue."

Ryuu tilted his head slightly as he turned towards his fellow teammates, "If anyone has nothing then shall we go and check."

Frozen Ocean nodded at that as she spoke, "Well I have nothing left here to do so if others agree to it then who am I to say no."

With others consent the group trailed after Frost Flames with Ryuu walking by her side, "Daoist Ryuu where are you from?"

Ryuu gave her apologetic smile as he spoke, "I am so sorry but I unfortunately cannot divulge the exact location of my home but I belong to Canis Draconis Galaxy."

Frost Flames nodded at that as she spoke, "I am from Proxiama Peleus."

Meanwhile Zywia bit her lips to stifle a laugh, 'Ayindril is nowhere near that place, he lied to her with such straight face.', as she send a look to Ryuu, he promptly turned his head, 'Damn that idiot do not look at me like that if she sees her she will discover the rouse, idiot.'

Ryuu sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, he looked at his surrounding as he watched small plankton like creature floating lazily in the water surrounding as his mind went back to Ayindril, 'Zywia is right as well as wrong at the same time, to others the entrance to Ayindril is located at Kentaurus Cloud but it is false only a handful a number so small that it can be counted with a single hand with many fingers left over know the truth that a person can leave or enter Ayindril to and from any part of the universe with my teachers blessings and I am one of those lucky few who knows it and can use it now.'

"Hmm did you say something I was thinking of something as such I missed what you said.", Ryuu spoke as he missed whatever Frost Flames spoke.

A single twitch of her brow was the only thing that he was able to see, as anything below her eyes were behind a veil as she spoke again, "I was enquiring about your teacher's identity."

Ryuu once again gave her a apologetic smile as he spoke, "I am sorry the rule of my teacher is not to mention his name until he bestows me a Dao name and I have still some trials left to complete before I am bestowed one by my teacher."

Frost Flames simply gave him a small barely noticeable nod as Frozen Ocean frowned at that as her mind went back to her talk with her martial sisters, they had claimed that Ryuu was acquainted with one of the Princess of Shangri-la, who had been treating him like a close acquaintance which only pointed out that he belongs to a very powerful family not to mention the fiasco with his martial nieces, maybe she should ask Su-Min's help she is a good friend of Zywia and as such might be able to discern Ryuu's true identity.

"We are here", with that they entered a giant cavern which was filled with many cultivators who were busy in heated debate as they entered True-Spear spoke with a grin, "Thanking for bringing them here Martial sister."

' 'Martial sister' that means that they share the same teacher.', Ryuu send a small smile to True-Spear who gave him a nod as he went towards the painting before his face was full of disbelief as he spoke out loud, "You got to have been kidding me."

At his exclamation many turned to look at him with a frown as one of the spoke, "Fellow Daoist brother do you have any idea about what that thing entails?"

Ryuu did not reply to her as he turned towards Zywia as he spoke, "Sister Zywia, please take a look."

Zywia looked at it for few seconds before her eyes widen as she spoke with disbelief in her voice, "Ryuu is that not the creature that we…"

Ryuu looked at the painting as he spoke, "Yes."

"That same humo….."

"Yes"

"The door to the next level is inside its…"

"yes"

"We have to then…."

"Yes"

"But what if it is wrong"

Ryuu simply shrugged at that as he spoke, "Well we are dead."

"Can any one of you two please let us humble cultivators tell us what you are discussing."

A voice interrupted them as Ryuu spoke with a small cough, "Well you all remember that today when I said that this world was flat and like a cage."

Many nodded at that as Ryuu continued, "Well if you are to visit the end of the plate you will be able to see a being whose eye is as big as a moon as you can see that being is the gate keeper of the doorway to the next level."

Frost flames frowned at that as she spoke, "How sure are you Daoist Ryuu?"

Ryuu raised his hand as he pointed to the picture as he spoke with a sigh, "Well if this picture is genuine then I am absolutely sure and as for the creature you all can go and check it out, I will waiting topside in the air away from the ocean, you all are free to confirm it and then we can discuss the necessary steps."

As many left Su-Min spoke with a frown on her face, "Ryuu how are we going to defeat, a beast so humongous would be strong."

Ryuu's lips pursed as he spoke, "Everyone has weakness and you have to identify it, and as for fighting it who says I will have to fight it, if possible I would sneak past it."

Frozen Flames sighed at that as she spoke, "Many would die."

Ryuu simply turned and left as he spoke barely above a whisper, "We cultivators walk on a fine edge between life and death, if someone wishes to live then they should try harder to survive."
