After organizing and storing all his items, his storage belt looked much neater.
Besides a decorative storage pouch, a spirit pet bag and a storage pouch filled with Ice silk worm sand, nothing else was hanging on it.
After finishing everything, he bound and refined the Dark Night Spirit Sword as his own.
Once that was done, he recovered his energy for a while and then took a good rest after consuming a fasting pill.
Seeing that even more than two and a half days had passed in the hourglass, and there were only a little over twenty days left before departure, Xiao Shou knew he could not delay any longer.
It was ti to properly explore this canyon and carefully search for treasures within the secret realm.
Right now, his storage belt and storage bags were all nearly empty.
Satisfied that he had finished his preparations and full of confidence, Xiao Shou withdrew the formation disk, prepared his defensive and offensive asures, and took his first step into the canyon.
Rocks, rocks everywhere.
All that filled his vision were gray black stones, with not a single sign of any living creature.
Even as a cultivator, walking like this made his legs ache.
Just how far did this place stretch?
The canyon and cliffs remained unchanged the entire way.
Did this canyon have no end at all?
Xiao Shou helplessly raised his head again to look at the strip of sky above.
Suddenly, inspiration flashed in his mind.
He slapped his own forehead in frustration.
"How can I be this stupid? I’m still walking like I did in my previous life. I’m a cultivator now! If there’s no road on the ground, there’s the sky. I can fly. I actually forgot that just now. I really am hopelessly foolish."
After speaking, he poured spiritual energy into the Flying Cloud Boots he had already refined into a magical artifact.
Complex rune patterns lit up beneath his feet and his body was quickly lifted upward.
He rose higher and higher into the sky..
During the ascent, Xiao Shou seed to notice that the originally gray black cliff walls were gradually deepening in color, eventually turning pitch black.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, sothing changed above him.
Countless pitch black moths, each about four to five ters wide, suddenly flew out from both sides of the upper cliff walls.
Their wings were fully spread and visible to the naked eye were grains of phosphorescent powder the size of rice grains.
Before the moths even reached him, the powder was already falling downward.
Instinct told him that he must not allow himself to be touched by it.
And with a slight experintal intent toward testing the defensive ability of his new magical treasure, Xiao Shou imdiately activated the Void-Ti Calyx the mont he saw this.
At the sa ti, Xiao Shou released his divine sense to check how many of those moths there were.
When the pitch-black powder fell onto the spherical transparent barrier of the Void-Ti Calyx, it instantly turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated.
However, as countless particles of powder continued to fall, the resulting black smoke completely engulfed Xiao Shou in a dense black fog.
Watching all of this calmly, he silently increased the output of his spiritual energy.
But when his divine sense extended toward the cliff walls on both sides, his expression changed.
Everywhere the cliff walls darkened into black, there were countless black moths covering them without end.
Did that an that everything beyond was completely occupied by these moths?
And it seed that the higher he flew, the larger the moths beca and the stronger their attacks were.
Feeling the increasing pressure on the defensive barrier, Xiao Shou imdiately stopped ascending and instead descended rapidly toward the ground.
His falling speed was extrely fast.
In almost an instant, he dropped out of the black fog zone.
The moths did not chase after him.
Instead, once he crossed back past the boundary of the cliff walls, they returned to the cliffs and lay dormant again.
Do they only attack anything that crosses that boundary?
Xiao Shou felt puzzled.
As he descended, he expanded his divine sense further to examine the surroundings more carefully.
Suddenly, his movent paused midair.
He shifted direction and flew diagonally toward the front of the canyon.
From beyond the range of his divine sense, he had just caught a faint flash of artifact light.
At such a distance, if his Eye of Ishvara had not awakened, he would not have been able to see it at all.
Could it be Fu Young and the others fighting?
But who would they be fighting?
There was nothing in this canyon except stone.
Could it be... internal conflict?
This was the last thing Xiao Shou wanted to see.
He disliked such situations deeply.
That was precisely why he had restrained Gou Guangming, Cao Xue, and the others at the very beginning.
Yet it seed they had not kept their agreent.
The re possibility made him irritated.
He quickly flew toward the source of the flashing light.
After a while, as he drew closer, what he sensed with his divine sense shocked him greatly.
Thousands of ters ahead in the canyon, from the boundary on both sides of the cliffs, massive gray stone beasts were continuously erging.
They surged toward a group of people in the center of the canyon, attacking relentlessly.
But the group in the center was not Fu Young and the others as he had expected.
Instead, it was the most unlikely group to appear here.
Xiao Ran, Yu Lin, the two brothers from the ancient cultivator’s cave, and a tall and well built sword cultivator with a heroic appearance.
At that mont, the five of them had ford a circular formation and jointly resisting attacks coming from all directions.
From ti to ti, when a stone beast had its core destroyed, it would collapse into rubble.
At the center of the rubble, a glowing object would appear, which they quickly collected into their storage bags.
