Chapter 2050 - 1622: Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, Nowhere to Escape!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng’s heart is completely shattered!

Wasn’t it supposed to be just a little scary?

How is this just scary, not dangerous? This is clearly deadly!

Before Gu Changsheng lies an endless range of towering mountains, suddenly severed halfway, creating a cliff of ten thousand fathoms, below which a dense fog obscures the view and no bottom can be seen, while in the distance, the end of this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms is nowhere in sight!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng truly understands how overrated hearsay can be compared to actual experience!

This is exactly what they mean when they say hearsay pales in comparison to sight!

Not to mention how deep this suddenly appearing Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms in the depths of Divine Mount Qilian is, but just speaking of its length, it’s impossible to fly across even if you had wings!

"Cough cough cough..." The Baby Jin Bao standing behind Gu Changsheng was utterly flabbergasted by his outburst and couldn’t help but lift his chubby little hand, touch his nose, and sheepishly say, "It just looks a bit scary, just looks a bit scary, once you pass it, there’s no problem..."

It would have been better if Baby Jin Bao hadn’t spoken, but as soon as he did, Gu Changsheng was about to explode...

"Just a bit scary? Hmm? You call this just a bit scary?" Gu Changsheng pointed to the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms not far away, hooked his toe, and a medium-sized stone quickly fell down the cliff...

Suddenly, time entered an eerie silence...

After the stone fell over the cliff, Gu Changsheng and the others began to listen intently...

However...

There was no sound of the stone hitting the ground...

"This is just a bit scary? There’s not even the slightest echo, you call this just a bit scary? Baby Jin Bao, your art of speech is indeed subtle enough to incite public outrage!" Gu Changsheng’s phoenix-like eyes glowed fiercely, eager to strangle Baby Jin Bao.

My goodness!

While walking this path, Baby Jin Bao mentioned that the way was not easy, but he didn’t say it would be this difficult!

Is this a road that humans can walk?

Honestly, even birds might find it impossible to fly across!

This is not even a road, because Gu Changsheng estimates that no one has ever walked it!

"Really, really! This baby wasn’t lying, it only looks a bit scary, actually it’s fine! I’ve walked this path! It’s just an optical illusion, though how it works, I don’t know!" Baby Jin Bao explained urgently under the accusing stares, his small arms and legs unsure where to place.

Even Baby Jin Bao realizes that his words might lack persuasion, so he planned to speak with action, lifted his little short legs, bypassed Gu Changsheng, and directly headed towards the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms!

Gu Changsheng, who was originally anxious about the path, was stunned when he saw Baby Jin Bao’s actions, and immediately reacted, his figure flashing, grabbing Baby Jin Bao’s collar from behind and lifting him up, uncontainably shouting, "Are you insane? What place is this? Do you think you’re like that stone? Even the stone falls without a sound, and you wouldn’t even make a splash! Behave yourself!"

Thanks to Gu Changsheng’s quick action, otherwise Baby Jin Bao might have already fallen down the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms!

Just thinking about it makes Gu Changsheng scared!

Is it that he might have shouted too fiercely at Baby Jin Bao earlier?

Baby Jin Bao, although a spirit in this ancient Divine Mount Qilian, has lived unknown years, nevertheless is just a child!

Gu Changsheng can’t help but feel regret, thinking he might have vented his urgency to continue his journey a bit too much!

Actually, Gu Changsheng is someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Though he often displays disdain towards Baby Jin Bao, he truly loves him, of course, as long as he doesn’t try to entice her into becoming a god at every meal...

"Well, this baby’s true form is originally a stone! Furthermore, this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms is really easy to cross. As long as you have courage, you can walk like it’s flat ground, I’ve done it!" Baby Jin Bao, caught in Gu Changsheng’s grip, kicked his little arms and legs in the air, anxiously explaining.

"I only believe in ghosts! Behave yourself, if you fall and die, I won’t retrieve your corpse!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled his eyes extravagantly.

This ten thousand fathoms cliff, does it look like you can walk across it as if on flat ground?

This is really boasting without fearing the repercussions!

"Why don’t you believe this baby? This baby is originally a spirit of a stone, even if I fall, I won’t die, besides, you can’t even fall. Just let this baby try it..." Baby Jin Bao, truly powerless without even a speck of temper in Gu Changsheng’s hands, could only feebly explain.

"Shut up, can’t you see I’m annoyed?" Gu Changsheng coldly glanced at Baby Jin Bao and turned his gaze back to the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, his brows tightly furrowed, face full of indecisiveness.

"The Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms looks exceptional!" Zhou Mu stepped forward, standing at the edge of the cliff.

Beside him, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but gasp.

The cliff is indeed too steep, abruptly appearing before us, stretching endlessly as if it were a gigantic black hole ready to devour everything in front of it...

Yuan Bao was worried his master might get swallowed...

"Logically speaking, such an unfathomable cliff should have the sound of winds constantly howling beneath it. However, it’s eerily quiet here, not a single sound, quiet to the point of mystery..." Zhou Mu observed the terrain of the Qilian Divine Mountain that seemed to be sliced by a giant blade, his face as solemn as if it were the Divine Residence itself.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but nod.

This unique geographical environment inevitably leads to distinctive climatic traits. Take this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms for example, it should, given the different sunlight exposure and temperature levels, produce winds due to temperature differences. But here, it’s so quiet that you could hear a pin drop...

They stood at the cliff’s edge without even their clothes being stirred...

This is too abnormal!

"So what do we do now? Are we supposed to turn back, giving up the shortcut? If we do that, we might not reach the Forbidden Zone at the heart of Qilian Divine Mountain before Jin Luoyi and his group!" Gu Changsheng spoke with a touch of worry.

In such a unique geographic situation, no matter how powerful a person is, they seem pitifully small!

After all, no matter how high their martial arts skills, they aren’t birds; they can’t fly over this abyss!

"Wherever we go, it’s the same; this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms encircles the Forbidden Zone. It’s well-known that this cliff marks the boundary of the Qilian Divine Mountain!" Baby Jin Bao’s neck was still clutched in Gu Changsheng’s arms, but hearing this, he murmured softly.

Then, Baby Jin Bao seized a moment when Gu Changsheng wasn’t paying attention and slipped out of Gu Changsheng’s hand in a flash!

The moment he broke free, Baby Jin Bao dashed toward the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms with such speed that it was as if he hadn’t even blinked!

"Jin Bao!"

Gu Changsheng reacted immediately, exclaiming in shock, but it was already too late to intervene!

And Zhou Mu and the others held their breath in suspense!

Baby Jin Bao moved too quickly, leaping like a gopher, reaching the top of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms...

On top...

That’s right!

On top!

On top of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms!

Gu Changsheng, whose heart was in his throat, was almost stopped cold, and upon seeing Baby Jin Bao soar to the top of the abyss, he was utterly stunned...

Baby Jin Bao took note of the thunderstruck appearances of Gu Changsheng and everyone else, his chubby little face broke into an utterly delighted smile, his tiny feet bouncing mid-air as if he stood on air itself...

Gu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat at Baby Jin Bao’s actions!

She was genuinely terrified that Baby Jin Bao might suddenly fall into the abyss and disappear without a trace!

Because, the scene was so disturbingly bizarre!

So bizarre that it made Gu Changsheng feel as if it were unreal!

Disbelieving, Gu Changsheng stared fixedly at Baby Jin Bao jumping in mid-air above the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms for several moments before kicking a stone from the ground...

As expected, the stone still fell along a perfect parabolic trajectory off the cliff without making a sound...

The stone fell from the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, yet Baby Jin Bao remained suspended, showing no sign of falling...

"What on earth is this?" Gu Changsheng found himself uncertain and puzzled.

"I said it before, this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms just looks intimidating, but it’s actually not life-threatening at all. It’s much easier to walk across than the mountain paths; it’s flat ground! Flat ground! Just step over it, step by step, and it’s very simple!" Baby Jin Bao stood eerily mid-air atop the cliff, waving to Gu Changsheng.

"..." Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch at the mouth, turning to exchange a glance with the evildoer in their midst. Still unsure, Gu Changsheng said to Yuan Bao, "Go, catch a wild animal!"

Gu Changsheng’s caution is understandable as matters of life and death are no trivial matter, and he wouldn’t gamble the lives of everyone in their group lightly!

Baby Jin Bao stood on the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms unscathed, but Baby Jin Bao was a Spirit; only heaven knows if his safety was due to him being non-human?

Moreover, the stone undeniably fell, so Gu Changsheng needed to confirm whether the Broken Cliff would accommodate beings able to traverse mid-air, whether they exhibited signs of life, or if it was specific to the Spirit that was Baby Jin Bao!

"Yes!" Yuan Bao responded immediately, heading out. For him, hunting a game in the vast mountains was incredibly simple...
