A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 58: Direct Attack 3 (1/2)
This mountain was actually physically present It appeared to be covered in verdant foliage and flowing strea near its peak There were even so around nearby
A waterfall thundered off the side of a cliff
The scene was very picturesque, but it was also quite strange
After all, the Abyss never rained They were in an isolated area of space, and there was no need for rain or snow to refill any lost water
If there was no rain or snohere did the waterfall come from?
Even so, it was truly there Water flowed down its side without end
A few black shadows could be seen floating just underneath the surface of the waters around the mountain
It wasn’t obvious from the air, but Su Chen could sense that those Sea Beasts were all Sovereigns based on his Origin Energy perception
These Sovereigns were circling around theit
“This is where the Deep Sea Sorrow is located? Then where is it exactly?” Gu Qingluo asked
“At the top,” Su Chen said as he pointed at the luo was momentarily taken aback “You mean”
“On top of the waterfall Or, you could say that it is the source of the waterfall in the first place”
Even though he couldn’t see it with his own eyes, Su Chen was confident that this was the case
This was the recognition of a great reatand exchanging blows
This kind of understanding was bone-deep and manifested by way of intuition
As a top-tier scholar of the science of cultivation, Su Chen had the ability to understand and perceive the composition of this world For just a one back in tia had orchestrated all of this
He had co a closed circuit for the isolated space
That waterfall was the source of everything!
More specifically, it wasn’t a waterfall - it was a spring of vitality flowing out of the Deep Sea Sorrow
Its flowing never ceased, and as the Deep Sea Sorroaters row at a rapid pace
As such, this waterfall was the source of life for these Sovereigns
And the Deep Sea Sorroas the source of this source
“So what are aiting for? Let’s go and destroy it now!” Gu Qingluo was obviously excited
“Don’t be in such a rush,” Su Chen said as he grabbed Gu Qingluo’s hand
Those Sovereigns beloeren’t just there for decoration It appeared there was at least a dozen of them down there
This was probably the last line of defense that Corniga had left in place for the Deep Sea Sorrow They were most likely under its control and wouldn’t leave easily
Even though the battle taking place at the entrance to the Abyss was fierce, to the point that the energy fluctuations could be felt even here, the Sovereigns near the mountain appeared completely indifferent
“I will unleash the power of on Bloodline to stun thee of the opportunity to destroy the Deep Sea Sorrow What is there to be afraid of?” Gu Qingluo said soth had increased yet again during the past few years, and Su Chen had prepared quite a few tru thens As such, she was extremely confident
Su Chen, however, calmly replied, “The more this is the case, the ns standing guard here are definitely the on Bloodline isn’t able to suppress them? Second of all, none of us have even seen the Deep Sea Sorrow before, so we have no idea if there are any protective Origin Formations nearby In addition, even if we can find it and it is not being protected by and Origin Formation, will it be so easy to destroy? What if it’s made out of an incredibly sturdy luo pouted “Fine You always think things through so carefully, so what do you think we should do?”
Su Chen chuckled “Of course we should cheat!”
As he spoke, he pulled out the Origin Bone Scepter
Gu Qingluo thought that Su Chen already had a plan in in Bone Scepter to resolve the issue A smile of amusement appeared unbidden on her face
However, upon further consideration, she realized that there was no need to co plan when you could cheat, not to mention that the situation didn’t really allow for an awe-inspiring plan in the first place
Apart froluo, there was no one else near the in Bone Scepter’s predictions could beas Su Chen didn’t make any predictions about himself, only about the Deep Sea Sorrow, the cost would be exceptionally low
But weren’t there Sovereigns present as well?
Yes, there were, and if these Sovereigns were factored into the prediction, the cost would definitely be high
But the issue was that there were only Sovereigns around
According to the Origin Bone Scepter’s prediction rules, if the prediction target orth more than the actual sacrifice offered, the prediction would fail
As such, Su Chen would basically only need to offer a common sacrifice and ask a question, and success or failure would be an answer in and of itself
If he succeeded, the outcome would be pretty self-explanatory
If he failed, that et involved In other words, that path was not a tenable one
Getting no ansas an answer in and of itself
Su Chen began with an extre to determine whether he could just fly to the peak of the mountain and retrieve the Deep Sea Sorrow As expected, he failed
This et involved
Su Chen didn’t appear to care all that much Instead, he luo after an hour
The prediction failed yet again, iin Bone Scepter was unable to ns that wouldn’t easily leave the mountain to chase after him meant that it was very likely that he had taken the Deep Sea Sorroith him There was also a remote possibility that there were siin Bone Scepter to account for
Su Chen continued his predictions, this ti to pick a different direction
