My gorgeous wife Chapter 2308 - 2276: Bottomless Abyss

"Here we are."

Standing on a towering mountain peak, Li Chen looks down at the base of the cliff.

Known by the people of the Heavenly Domain as the ’Bottomless Abyss,’ this is the highest peak in the entire realm.

More terrifyingly, this is a cracked mountain.

The mountain peak forms the center, splitting into two cliffs, with a fearful fissure at the base of the cliffs.

No one knows how deep the bottom of this cliff truly is; it seems as though it could reach the deepest parts of earth, yet so far, no one who has entered has ever returned.

History records many heroes who ventured into the Bottomless Abyss, either for exploration or to make a name for themselves, but all who entered never came back.

Moreover, the floating ability of the Mysterious Vehicle seems to lose its function here. Once it approaches the vicinity of the Bottomless Abyss, it automatically loses power and can no longer float.

"So this is a vacuum zone?" Li Chen mutters softly, sitting on the edge of the cliff.

On the cliffs surrounding the Bottomless Abyss, many people are here to see this historically ancient sight, including ordinary beings from Eight Directions Star, and even some heroes.

"According to our scholars in the Heavenly Domain, the Eight Directions are filled with an intriguing, invisible dark energy. This energy serves as the source of life for Eight Directions, enabling us to fight and possess great power, and even the energy drive of the Mysterious Vehicle relies on this energy," a black-haired woman explains the situation at the Bottomless Abyss to a group of young students behind her.

"Teacher," one boy asks, "then does the lack of this energy near the Bottomless Abyss mean our Mysterious Vehicle can’t operate, and heroes lose their mighty strength?"

"While not yet proven, it’s true that heroes here become not much different from regular people. Of course, heroes possess extraordinary power; even if some magical abilities are lost, they are still much stronger than us." The woman smiles.

Li Chen turns to look at her; she looks like a woman in her twenties, draped in a fur coat, with striking silver eyes that lend her a peculiar beauty.

"Because of the unique environment around the Bottomless Abyss, it’s also the place where nearby suicide attempts are most frequent. However, the teacher advises everyone, that life will have many ups and downs and twists and turns. Even if there’s no hope, one must create it and not give up easily." The silver-eyed teacher speaks earnestly.

"Yes!"

The young students answer loudly; the girls wear serious expressions, while the boys, in looking at the silver-eyed teacher, have eyes that unwittingly reveal a hint of something else.

Clearly, in their view, Silver-eyed Teacher is not just a teacher; she possesses an additional allure.

"Look there, someone is sitting by the edge of the cliff—is he about to jump into the Bottomless Abyss?!" Suddenly, one of the girls spots Li Chen and can’t help exclaiming.

Her voice startles everyone around.

Instinctively, everyone turns their gaze this way.

Li Chen turns his head, somewhat helpless; these little ones really came at the wrong time.

Even more helplessly, once the group notices him, Silver-eyed Teacher rushes toward him without waiting.

But before she can approach Li Chen, a huge head emerges from the treetops nearby, startling the woman.

"It’s a monster!" A girl screams.

Silver-eyed Teacher hears this and is clearly frightened too, her heart racing suddenly.

Then, she hears a gentle voice.

"Little Feng, come here."

"Mm-hmm? Mm!"

Little Feng nods his massive head, coming to Li Chen’s side and sitting down as well, his enormous body evidently taking up far more space than Li Chen, making Li Chen look almost ’tiny’ by comparison.

Silver-eyed Teacher wipes the sweat from her forehead and examines Li Chen with curiosity, unable to resist asking, "I am Luan Ying. May I ask... are you a hero?"

Li Chen originally hadn’t intended to reply, but this teacher named Luan Ying seems persistent, repeatedly calling out ’Hello’ as if Li Chen is hard of hearing.

Unable to ignore her, Li Chen nods gently.

"Wow, a hero!"

Upon hearing him confirm his status, Luan Ying hasn’t even reacted before a group of eager youths rush toward Li Chen.

"Hero, have you ever fought monsters?"

"Hero, what special abilities do you have?"

"Hero, is this monster yours, may I pet it?"

Li Chen: "..."

Such energetic young folk.

Li Chen has to abandon his plan to descend directly into the Bottomless Abyss.

Indeed, there is a strange force field around the abyss, which is not a formation, but seems like a mutual force that causes spiritual energy imbalances, thinning it near extinction, based on Li Chen’s analysis.

Though there is no cultivation civilization, what people call heroes must have grasped the basics of spiritual energy application, yet here there’s simply no spiritual energy to utilize, so weakening is normal.

Yet, evidently, for one who is a cosmos himself, no longer needing external energy supplementation, the effects of such a force field are null.

"Master, these humans..." Even Little Feng feels helpless as the young pupils crowd around, patting and nudging him.

"Let them be. Once they’re gone, we’ll begin our journey. I’ve nearly completed analyzing this area." Li Chen transmits.

"Has Master found a way down?" Little Feng asks curiously.

"Merely studying the area’s structure; its forces have no effect on me in the first place." Li Chen smiles.

"No wonder Master of Little Feng, other heroes compared to Master are all... all... all mud." Li Chen sighs in exasperation, "Little Feng, if you can’t flatter properly, don’t try; it’s embarrassing to hear."

"Uh..." Little Feng chuckles awkwardly.

"Hero, may I ask your name?" At this moment, Silver-eyed Teacher Luan Ying approaches Li Chen sincerely asking.

Realizing Luan Ying’s tension, Li Chen stands and pats her shoulder, "Don’t worry, I am Li Chen."

"Greetings, Li Chen." Luan Ying remains formal, yet her small hands grasp involuntarily.

This hero has an oddly inviting presence.

"Han Feng fell!" Suddenly, one of the boys yells.

At that moment, everyone turns to see a boy seemingly losing his footing, sliding off the edge of the cliff.

Panic spreads across all faces.

Because... this is the Bottomless Abyss!

Rubbing his brow, Li Chen feels a bit of a headache.
