The Abyssal Overlords arrived without void vessels, but they had a large contingent of cultivators, the vast majority of which were humans, and all of them were within the Mystic Ascendant Realm. Counting them as they floated imposingly in the Dark Void, they numbered five thousand exactly.

Each of them had unique attires and auras designating their origins of being a part of one of the four galactic zones of the White Abyssal Galaxy. The Abyssals within the group were intermixed amongst the strongest and weakest in cultivation realms, but their auras were notably thicker than their human counterparts of the same cultivation.

The group on the Minor Elysium couldn't help but stare with intrigue and amazement. There were nine Original Magistrates, dozens of World Emperors, thousands of Rune Kings, and only a few hundred Highlords.

"How grand! This was sufficient to be a punitive force for an intergalactic war!" Young Master Shang commented as he took a swig of his leather flagon. The most daunting strength of an Alchemist wasn't their concoctions, but their ability to gather experts and recruit ambitious talents to act as Alchemic Knights or Dao Protectors. There have been legendary stories of Alchemists across ages and galaxies launching grand wars that laid siege to entire galaxies. While he had never witnessed it personally, Young Master Shang no longer had any doubt in his heart about the potential of those events.

Wei Wuyin was a mere foreign alchemist at the Worldly Saint Alchemist level yet he was capable of mobilizing the Mystic Overlords of a galaxy, their undisputed rulers, and had them bring forth terrifying support solely due to his request, all to better protect him. The sight was incredible to bear witness to.

The four Abyssal Overlords and their subordinates were also in full battle wear, medium armor or form-fitting robes that hugged their figures tightly, accentuating their powerful limbs and amplifying their sense of height. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were ready for war!

"Greetings, World-Saint Neo-Dawn!" The five thousand Ascended beings all performed a unique salute that Vajarn had once shown with a unified voice! Despite being from different galaxies, under different rulers, they all showed an equal amount of respect in harmony toward Wei Wuyin.

The recent galactic auction left Wei Wuyin's reputation as beyond stellar and grand, and they all held the utmost respect for him, especially the humans whose eyes were bright, brilliant, and hopeful.

"They volunteered," Violet Sea mentioned as she smiled at Wei Wuyin. The ability to gather so many powerful cultivators was a sign of extraordinary prestige! Especially since these cultivators had volunteered themselves to risk their lives in the Heart of the White Abyssal Galaxy, the White Abyss! It was renowned for its dangers where an individual had a miniscule chance of survival.

In fact, a few felt terror and anxiety in their souls, but when they learned that World-Saint Neo-Dawn was venturing into the White Abyss to sightsee a forbidden zone with his beautiful wives and that he had asked each of the Abyssal Overlords to act as a guide to explore regions they've seen or were familiar with, the opportunity to venture with this strong never-before-seen continent of cultivators under four of the Abyssal Overlords was something they couldn't easily refuse!

The Abyssal Overlords only had to give them a choice and they set aside their differences or emotions built upon tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of history and joined together! Who knows how many of these experts wanted to slaughter the others or had enmity that could only be resolved in complete eradication, and yet they stifled their killing intent and joined forces here today!

Wei Wuyin said, "On behalf of myself and my wives, I would like to thank you all for coming along despite the risk involved." Within the group of five thousand, Vajarn was present. However, their eyes all glowed as if with anticipation.

Wei Wuyin internally chuckled, and said: "After our successful return to the White Abyss, I'll definitely reward each of you for your assistance and contribution."

YES!

Their hearts riled up! This was it! This was what they wanted to hear! MORE!

"I've come across a few legacies of the White Abyssal Galaxy lately, and have found success in concocting some of the higher graded products at the Mystic-Earth and Mystic-World grade such as the Bloody Abyss Fortune Elixir and the Chasm of White Pill," Wei Wuyin brought out a vial and a bottle. The vial contained a sanguine and beige liquid with mystic runes floating within while the bottle was filled with white mist with outlines of a jet-black pill with slithering tentacles of mana enveloping it formed of mystic runes, one of which exuded a notable aura of a World Rune.

If before their hearts were racing and thumping, now they were roaring with excitement! These products had been teased at the galactic auction and sold as well! But only a few of them, and the battle was so fierce that some factions spent tens of thousands of years of built-up wealth for a single one.

As for how Wei Wuyin was capable of creating these products so swiftly? It was common that alchemists of a certain level relied on Temporal Acceleration in some cases to expedite their concoctions, and while that might pose additional difficulties for some alchemists, for a Worldly Saint Alchemist on the verge of a Heavenly Saint Alchemist, these added difficulties were just a mild convenience! At least, that's what they thought! And seeing the pills, elixirs, pellets, and pastes in the galactic auction, how could they not believe it was true?!

Violet Sea, Grey Rose, Crimson Blade, and Fairy Silence's eyes all focused on the Chasm of the White Pill. It was hard not to have greed in their eyes! It was not just hard, but outright impossible!

Wei Wuyin had long since proven he could concoct these Abyssal-only products at the galactic auction, but seeing them still made them excited! Moreover, with their senses and understanding of these products, they could determine these were high-quality versions! Not like the low-quality ones shown at the auction!

Wei Wuyin kept the products and once again thanked the others for accompanying them. However, he reminded: "The dangers of the White Abyss have been repeatedly told to me by the Mystic Lords of this wonderful galaxy, so I wish to say that death is a real potential. If you have any doubt or disillusionment toward the possibility of death, then I ask that you retreat. I'm still thankful to those who were willing to join me regardless."

"..." No one left.

"Good," Crimson Blade nodded with a rough, violent smile. Anyone who tried to leave would have tasted his blade, regardless if they were from any of the galactic zones.

"Then, shall we go?" Wei Wuyin asked as he looked at Yao Houyi who took the helm of the Minor Elysium.

"World-Saint Neo-Dawn, void vessels are largely ineffective within the White Abyss. It could bring harm to the intrinsic formations and greater arrays due to the strange deteriorating chaos mana that's everywhere. It'll be best if you stow it away for now to prevent an unfavorable development." Grey Rose gently advised.

The other three Abyssal Overlords inwardly sneered.

"My vessel is a little different. And I have ways to deal with the chaos mana, so don't worry." Wei Wuyin smiled at Grey Rose's kindly intended advice.

However, Young Master Shang sent a spiritual transmission. "The Minor Elysium isn't equipped to deal with an Absolute Void Region, let alone one like this. Perhaps it would be best to heed her words, brother-in-law," he similarly advised. He was terrified that the Minor Elysium would be destroyed or damaged. Considering who it belonged to, it wouldn't just be a beating that he received if anything were to happen to it.

Wei Wuyin ignored Young Master Shang.

"Then, let's go." Crimson Blade knew that Wei Wuyin's void vessel was capable of venturing and surviving the severe dangers of the Void-Blank Space between galaxies, so it was fundamentally different from every void vessel they've in the White Abyssal Galaxy. Not even they, Mystic Overlords, were brave enough to venture out into that region of space carelessly.

Even most at the True Sage Phase weren't an exception!

Yao Houyi piloted the Minor Elysium as the group of Ascended beings surrounded the ship from all four directions. They were all vigilant and already brought out their defensive and offensive armaments, primed and ready for conflict. The tension within them was a sign of the legendary dread they felt for the White Abyss.

The four Abyssal Overlords stayed on board the Minor Elysium next to Wei Wuyin. Wei Wuyin hugged Yue Songli's slender waist from behind as they got closer to the White Abyss, the heart of this galaxy. Her racing heart calmed down and she relaxed within his strong arms.

Qing Qiumu held the hands of Wei Wuyin's Void Image, her face blushing slightly. While others couldn't see the image clearly, she could and she felt the warmth from that hand. The words he spoke to her left her calm and smiling. She was at peace and her heart for adventure was pounding.

Liu Suyin and Cao Cuifen silently watched the hazy white region grow closer. They stood close together. The former rubbed her necklace while the latter's eyes were filled with its white beauty. Whether it was because they became Wei Wuyin's women at the same time and exposed their most intimate parts to each other, exchanging kisses even, they had a stronger relationship than the others and were often together as each other's support.

Ming Shufeng looked a little pale. She had recently done a divination and exhausted quite a bit of radiant fate power, scrying for the most auspicious time to enter and the location to do so. She found the former-today, within the next few minutes. However, when it came to location, it was hazy and distorted without any clear indication.

"Entering the White Abyss is both simple and difficult. We'll be diving right in, but the chaos mana will resist any unnatural intrusion. We'll use our strength to split open a path," Fairy Silence explained as she observed the hazy mass of white that was large enough to be hundreds of stellar regions."

"No worries, I'll handle that. Conserve your strength for the real dangers," Wei Wuyin responded. Abyssals possessed a unique ability to control mana, and it's because of this that they could handle living by and excavating fortune from the White Abyss, but doing so cost them blood energy. Given they'll need to rely on this strength to resist the ambient chaos mana swarming them while within, it was best to conserve their strength.

"..." Fairy Silence gave Wei Wuyin a surprised look and then smiled. "Then, we will do as you say, World-Saint Neo-Dawn."

That degree of deference reinforced the importance of Wei Wuyin in the hearts of these Ascended beings. They had thought they would exhaust their power to split the White Abyss and create an entrance, but that didn't seem necessary!

Within a few minutes, they reached within one thousand miles of the White Abyss. The pressure it exuded was almighty and some of the Highlords went pale instantly, having to rely on their mystic armaments and Mystic Wards to resist. The Rune Kings had to simply manifest their Mystic Wards. As for the World Emperors and Original Magistrates, the former exerted their World Heart Intents and the Original Magistrates were unbothered, requiring nothing as their passive aura fended off the pressure with ease.

To say nothing of the Mystic Overlords, they didn't seem affected at all.

Meanwhile, they used glances to inspect the crew of the Minor Elysium. Their eyes widened slightly. Not a single member aboard was affected, not even the mortals. Moreover, the only protection was the faint glow emanating from the Minor Elysium of law aura around Cao Cuifen, Liu Suyin, and Ming Shufeng.

The rest was as unbothered as the Original Magistrates.

Wei Wuyin gently kissed Yue Songli's neck, her beautiful countenance turned faint pink as she sunk deeper into his embrace. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

"Mn," Yue Songli said as her eyes observed the hazy white closer. It felt like a world of fog, mist, muddy water, and turbulent light all at once. All white. All moving. When she felt Wei Wuyin's arms wrap a little tighter around her waist, she realized that the situation was going to change soon!

She prepared herself. Yue Songli wasn't stupid or clueless on how to feel someone's intentions. Wei Wuyin wasn't hugging her so closely and tightly for the sake of it but to better protect her.

They reached ten thousand miles from the White Abyss!

At this point, all they could see was white. If they didn't look back, the world was entirely white in other directions. It was overwhelming to the senses.

The Abyssal Overlords readied themselves as did the other Ascended beings.

Violet Sea moved closer to Wei Wuyin, saying: "Usually, treasures of various kinds would spew out of the White Abyss. It's a little unclear what's inside the White Abyss, but sometimes complete treasures such as scrolls containing lineage and legacy methods meant for specific races or bloodlines in languages that were indecipherable by even our Seers. They couldn't determine ages either. Sometimes they would be as old as tens of millions of years...other times it was brand new as if they were created yesterday.

"Legacies aren't the only thing. My Golden Ink Whip came out of the White Abyss," she tapped her folded whip at her hip, "and Crimson Blade's Horizon Severance Blade was a damaged treasure once said to have been a Heavenly Treasure, but was reduced to the Mystic-World grade, after experiencing unknown and incalculable events."

Crimson Blade sniffed lightly in response.

"Grey Amulet, who was once the ruler of the Abyss of Tranquility, acquired a tome in the language of Mysticism by chance and obtained a unique Cultivation Method while venturing into its depths. This method became the core cultivation method for almost every elite cultivator of the Abyss of Tranquility, and helped the invention of equally powerful Cultivation Methods from the other galactic zones. It's due to this method that the Abyss of Tranquility could rise to the level of us and the White Abyssal Galaxy is as strong as it is, especially the Human Race. He was benevolent and lacked greed in his heart, willing to share his fortune with others for the good of the world regardless of their race or affiliation," he added as he eyed Grey Rose with a violent light, but hurriedly moved his gaze away.

There was something he didn't say but was implied! While he didn't like how preachy Grey Amulet was, he respected his willingness to make self-sacrifices for the common citizen! He was kind-hearted and foolish.

If he wasn't, how could he lose everything to this vixen?

Grey Rose pursued her lips but didn't say anything at his comment, only looking at Wei Wuyin and saying: "There are strange lifeforms within as well. But they're rarely at the border of the White Abyss, so they don't appear, and only are known by those who've ventured deeper into the region. Some of them are as strong and terrifying as the Original Magistrates."

Fairy Silence added: "But the environmental dangers are things to look out for. It's hard to say when or where a phenomenal unique to Absolute Void Regions will appear. Moreover, the ambient pressure is terrifying while the chaos mana can deteriorate your cultivation base if left unguarded. I advise you to maintain a shielding on your vessel at all times, even after we enter one of the colored zones."

A thousand miles out from the White Abyss.

The hazy whiteness was utterly gargantuan. It was everything and felt as if turning their heads around would only lead to a sea of hazy white and only that. The feeling was pervasive.

A hundred miles out.

"World-Saint Neo-Dawn!" Grey Rose shouted in panic. The Abyssal Overlords were ready to handle the entry, but if they could conserve their strength, they would prefer doing so.

"Just go forward!" Wei Wuyin sent them via spiritual transmission.

They all realized this was one of Wei Wuyin's means! They didn't hesitate to push forward, the four Abyssal Overlords began to direct the Minor Elysium with their Mystic Power as Yao Houyi no longer took the helm. Instead, he removed his blindfold and brought out his bow.

Su Mei held her saber as Xiao Bai was summoned by her side in its armored barbing.

Shui Fengbao's eyes were already flickering with wild flames and his body exuded a pulsating heat.

Tuo Bihan's body released a light of purity and baleful energy that gave him a strange aura.

ENTER!

They entered the boundary of the White Abyss, and white was on all sides soon enough. They all observed the sides of the rippling whiteness.

They traveled for a few minutes for thousands of miles until an opening filled with a greenish light revealed itself. It was like a hole carved out of a sea of whiteness, as apparent as a blot of dark oil in clear water.

"The Green Zone! FORWARD!!" Fairy Silence exclaimed in excitement. The Ascended beings worked in tandem, using their mystic power to pull the Minor Elysium forward and toward the greenish light!

WHOOSH!!

Movement from the walls of whiteness to their left and right could be seen!

"WATCH OUT!!" Crimson Blade roared.
