"I hate it!"
The Divine Calculator, with envy burning in his eyes, grabbed Chen Nan's shoulder and shook him back and forth: "Quick, give the King of Ten Thousand Gu. Such a divine artifact in your hands is simply a waste of heavenly treasure!"
Chen Nan spread his hands, looking helpless: "There's nothing I can do. The King of Ten Thousand Gu and I are already one, inseparable. I can't give it to you."
The Divine Calculator walked to the side in frustration. If he could, he would trade anything to obtain the King of Ten Thousand Gu.
Even Chen Nan himself was bewildered by the surprise brought by the little snake. The mysterious "ti" was surprisingly within his grasp.
After several attempts, he reached so conclusions.
Firstly, he could only barely use the Ti Power at the mont, as the mana within him didn't support prolonged use. At most, he could sustain it for just over a dozen breaths.
Secondly, the ti ability he wielded was extrely singular; he could only lengthen the ti in a space one zhang (approximately ten feet) in length and width, and even then, only up to ten tis the normal duration.
Thus, when he used the ability, he could extend one hour to beco ten hours, giving him ten tis the cultivation ti.
Knowing this rule, Chen Nan had an idea; maybe he could designate a specific area within the Immortal Palace Space to use the Ti Power while cultivating.
This way, cultivating for one hour would be equivalent to ten hours.
For the mana consumption, he needed to think carefully because the mana within him allowed for only a few dozen breaths, which was practically useless.
With many thoughts in mind, Chen Nan was prepared to experint later. If successful, the benefits would be imasurable.
Seeing the continually withdrawn Divine Calculator, he helplessly stepped forward: "Brother Daoist, what happened after I self-detonated?"
"How would I know?" The Divine Calculator's face was impatient: "After you self-detonated, they all left. Daoist stayed here for you, but now you're making angry."
His current mindset was dread of his brother's hardship, yet fear of his brother driving a Land Rover. Now that his brother truly drives a Land Rover, his heart is unsettled.
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to you, Brother Daoist. But it seems we can't return now either."
Chen Nan thought back; their relationship during the Dragon Fall Island battle had already been exposed between him and Tu Susu, so returning to the Righteous Alliance was impossible. No telling if those righteous cultivators considered him a traitor.
Going to the Demon Sect was even worse, as those old demons were waiting to capture him and refine him into an elixir. Even Tu Susu couldn't protect him.
Thinking over everything, he realized he had no place to go.
"You want to return? To fly back from here to sowhere inhabited would take decades. How do you propose we return?" The Divine Calculator sneered.
Only then did Chen Nan recall that their arrival at the Heavenly Cutting Abyss was due to the forr Luan Kong Great Saint of the Demon Clan, who broke open space with the Power of Space Law.
Returning was much more difficult.
Seeing his dilemma, the Divine Calculator's eyes twinkled, and he chuckled: "Since we can't go back, why don't we go over there?"
Following his direction, Chen Nan saw the awe-inspiring Heavenly Cutting Abyss and understood the Divine Calculator's plan.
Divine Calculator didn't leave, not rely because Chen Nan had asked him at the last mont, but because he wanted to go to the Inner Sea!
He had wanted to bring Chen Nan along to the Inner Sea before, but Chen Nan refused.
Now, even if Chen Nan wanted to refuse, he couldn't find a reason.
"Fine, I'll accompany you, Brother Daoist, as a repaynt of your kindness. But can we truly go to the Inner Sea?" His tone was filled with doubt.
The Heavenly Cutting Abyss seed to separate the entire Endless Sea, its width unknown, and even the Divine Calculator couldn't guarantee if the other side led to the Inner Sea.
Above the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, there was the cold that could freeze Divine Souls along with fierce Gang Wind, which even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators found difficult to withstand.
Ordinary Spiritual Artifacts couldn't block the intangible Gang Wind, akin to a natural Forbidden Sky Array.
So no flight was possible over the Heavenly Cutting Abyss; they would need another plan.
The Divine Calculator pondered over this issue, raising his head after a long ti, uncertainty in his voice: "Perhaps we can, like the Demon Clan, head to the bottom of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss and traverse through there."
"Others can enter the Inner Sea, so surely Daoist can as well!"
Chen Nan gave him a look like he was crazy: "Are you mad? The Demon Clan being sealed into the Heavenly Cutting Abyss felt like the sky falling, and you want to go down voluntarily?"
"I just revived, stop kidding."
The Divine Calculator shook his head, but his expression turned serious, eyes fixed on Chen Nan: "I'm not joking."
Chen Nan frowned and spoke solemnly: "So have you prepared? How will you withstand the cold of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? Avoid the Gang Wind?"
"If the depths are a dead end, how do we return?"
A barrage of questions, which he thought would stump the Divine Calculator, yet surprisingly, he smiled slightly, confident: "You think I was lazing around while you revived? Daoist has already co up with a plan."
"You just say whether you're coming along, tales say the Inner Sea teems with Cave Heaven Blessed Land and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, possibly granting you a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm. Then you can return for revenge. Wouldn't that be splendid?"
Though tempted, Chen Nan knew it was all conjecture from the Divine Calculator. The Inner Sea might be a Cave Heaven Blessed Land or it might be Hell.
After deep consideration, he agreed, figuring he should repay the Divine Calculator, with no other options available.
Spending decades just to return? That's not worth it.
Moreover, he knew one thing: although the Divine Calculator sotis appeared enigmatic, he was a true pragmatist, never doing anything that lacked personal benefit.
He wouldn't believe the Divine Calculator would cross the Heavenly Cutting Abyss without assurance.
"Ha ha, junior disciple, I knew you understood . Let's prepare quickly!" The Divine Calculator rejoiced, repeatedly patting Chen Nan's shoulder.
With nothing substantial to prepare, they quickly reached the edge of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, where they could see the white Restriction left by Luan Kong, sealing the heavens above the abyss.
The seal extended left and right, its size unknown, but surely a Restriction laid by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with full cultivation, covering a wide area.
The Divine Calculator didn't plan to search for the end of the Restriction, choosing instead to follow the route the Demon Clan used to enter the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, as it might have been pre-selected by Luan Kong.
"How do we overco such a Sealing Array barrier?"
"Heh heh, Daoist has a clever plan!"
