After the various forces gathered.
On the side of the Sansheng Hall, a person in charge stepped out and said.
"Everyone, to make a long story short, I think you all know what the consequences will be if that Xia Guihua is allowed to survive and merge with the Mysterious Empress's remains."
"The three heads have already completely sealed off the periphery of the Boundary Abyss; not even a fly can get out."
"The elites and heroes of all parties only need to enter the Boundary Abyss and eliminate that Xia Guihua."
"Given the means at Xia Guihua and her group's disposal, they shouldn't be able to enter very deep into the Boundary Abyss."
"So, I will trouble you all."
After the person in charge from the Sansheng Hall finished speaking.
The Cultivators from the other forces also echoed their agreement.
The resurrection of the Mysterious Empress would benefit no one.
Jun Xiaoyao just silently watched all of this.
The vast majority of people would not stop to think if there were any secrets or hidden circumstances behind this.
They only knew that the Mysterious Empress had brought disaster to the Origin Universe and caused the Blood Moon Calamity, and that was enough.
Such is the nature of the rabble.
Many truths were buried along with it.
Jun Xiaoyao was no moralizing gentleman, and he couldn't be bothered to criticize others.
He only knew that he himself must uncover the truth behind this.
Including the secret of the Three Lives Reincarnation Seal, he had to figure it out.
"Alright, preparations are complete, let's enter." said the person in charge from the Sansheng Hall.
The elites and heroes of the various forces also began preparations to enter.
"You must be careful."
On the side of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, Elder Yun Jing said.
The Yun Sheng Imperial Palace had naturally bestowed upon Jun Xiaoyao and the others many protective measures.
At the very least, they had significant guarantees within the Boundary Abyss.
"Understood." Yun Daoyi and the others said.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, showed no signs of fear, his expression calm.
The group began to enter the Boundary Abyss.
Many people were cautious, not even daring to breathe loudly, fearing they might disturb some existence in the darkness.
The elites and heroes of the various forces formed small teams, but they did not stray too far from each other.
They maintained a loose, large formation as they moved deeper.
Only at this time did the crowd bring a sense of security.
Inside the Boundary Abyss, mist permeated everything; it had no special effects, yet it gave people an inexplicable sense of dread.
Everything around them was pitch black.
The mountains were jet-black, the stars were broken and dim, there was no light in the sky, and the fog was heavy.
They didn't even know what kind of place they had arrived at, only able to advance with caution.
Along the way, there were many grim skeletons—some of the Human Race, others of various beast races or exotic species.
It could be said that for an average person, seeing this would require courage just to move forward.
Fortunately, those who could enter the Boundary Abyss were all elites and heroes of their respective forces, and although they had misgivings and fears in their hearts.
Their state of mind was not so fragile.
And after advancing for a period of time.
Nothing had happened overall, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the sound of flowing water ahead became increasingly clear.
"It's the Sanzu River!"
Someone said.
Through the misty haze ahead, one could vaguely see an incomparably wide river rushing down from the upper reaches.
It was called a river, but it was as wide as an ocean.
"Be careful."
Many people became cautious.
This Sanzu River was the truly eerie existence within the Boundary Abyss.
Cultivators from all forces brought out various war boats and ancient ships, beginning to cross the Sanzu River.
"That Xia Guihua is very likely in the middle or upper reaches of the Sanzu River." Ji Taisui said indifferently.
He glanced at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained composed; he ignored him and, along with the others from the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, boarded a war boat and began to cross.
And as soon as they stepped into the range of the Sanzu River.
Many people immediately felt that something was wrong.
It was as if an inexplicable feeling of sorrow enveloped them; this was an influence on their state of mind, causing their hearts and spirits to become unstable.
Some whose Primordial Spirit was slightly stronger, or whose Heart-Nature was flawless and complete, were temporarily unharmed.
However, there were also some who began to be affected, shedding tears for no reason.
"Be careful, this Sanzu River is also called the River of Sorrow; it can subtly influence one's state of mind!" someone warned.
On the side of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, several prodigies did not experience any issues.
Not to mention Jun Xiaoyao, who possessed an unparalleled Primordial Spirit and had also cultivated the Sin of God through the flower of seven sins.
This level of influence on his state of mind was essentially non-existent to him.
But just at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao vaguely heard the sound of sobbing in his ears.
The sound was that of a woman, bitterly, coldly, and bleakly sobbing, carrying an indescribable sorrow and loneliness.
"This voice..."
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell toward the distance on the surface of the Sanzu River.
"What's wrong?"
Beside him, Yun Daoyi and the others looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Didn't you hear it? The sound of a woman sobbing?"
Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"No." Yun Daoyi and Imperial Daughter Yun Ruoshui said.
"Brother, are you having auditory hallucinations?"
Yun Xi also blinked her eyes.
Could it be that her brother was also affected by the Sanzu River?
But that was impossible.
What kind of person was her brother? How could he be affected by this?
Jun Xiaoyao paused, then said: "Perhaps I heard wrong."
There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
What was certain was that he was definitely not affected by the Sanzu River.
With his Divine Soul, even if everyone else was affected, it was impossible for him to be affected.
The only possibility was that this sound could only be heard by him.
But...
Why?
Moreover, in the depths of this absolute forbidden zone where no one dared to tread, a woman was crying?
This was somewhat absurd.
It even gave people a sense of horror.
But regardless, Jun Xiaoyao would not retreat because of this.
This instead further stimulated his curiosity.
What kind of existence was in the depths of the Boundary Abyss?
The group continued to cross the Sanzu River.
They were currently in the lower reaches.
And the upper reaches—the source of the Sanzu River—was the deepest part of the Boundary Abyss.
No one could go to that place.
Therefore, everyone believed that it was impossible for Xia Guihua to have truly gone deep into the Boundary Abyss.
One by one, war boats and ancient ships broke through the river surface and headed deeper.
And as they went deeper, the influence on their state of mind from the sorrow became more and more obvious.
Some prodigies who couldn't take it even crouched on the ground and started crying.
"Those who are affected and cannot move forward, go back." Jun Xiaoyao suddenly said.
Even if they went deeper, they would just be throwing their lives away.
Subsequently, a small number of people retreated.
Most people could still endure it.
And just as they were going deeper.
Suddenly, the calm Sanzu River started to have whirlpools emerge.
A terrifying gravitational force appeared.
Near the whirlpools, there were several ancient ships carrying prodigies from some forces.
The whirlpools had no effect on the ancient ships at all.
However, the Primordial Spirits of those prodigies were eerily pulled out of their bodies, one by one, and dragged into the whirlpools.
"Be careful, that's a Soul-Devouring Whirlpool!"
Some prodigies couldn't help but change color.
Before they entered the Boundary Abyss, some older figures had warned them about some of the dangers within.
For example, the Soul-Devouring Whirlpools on the Sanzu River, which specifically pulled in Primordial Spirits and Souls.
There was a rumor that it was the dead Souls buried under the Sanzu River demanding food.
"Run!"
Some prodigies nearby were shocked.
Those prodigies whose Primordial Spirits were dragged away stood rooted to the spot, as if petrified, which was incredibly eerie.
This caused many prodigies to shudder and accelerate forward.
