Soon, Ye Yunfei accurately pinpointed the location of the Colorless Abyss entrance. Although the entrance was effectively sealed off and invisible to the naked eye, Ye Yunfei had traversed it before and knew its location intimately. Furthermore, his spatial cultivation was quite advanced now, allowing him to sense special spatial fluctuations there.
"There are indeed strange vibrations emanating from inside," Ye Yunfei remarked with some surprise after a moment of sensing. The Colorless Abyss had become one of the most mysterious and terrifying secret realms within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, notorious for its danger even across the entire Chaotic Void Sea. Any strange tremor from within certainly wouldn't be ordinary.
Boom!
Just as Ye Yunfei was carefully sensing the vibrations, a mysterious sound suddenly echoed forth from the depths of the abyss, reverberating through the nearby void.
The sound was so strange that it made Ye Yunfei feel dizzy and disoriented, causing his two Soul Bodies to sway unsteadily. He immediately activated his movement technique, retreating a great distance in an instant, putting space between himself and the abyss entrance.
"Young Master Ye, that's the sound we've been hearing frequently in recent days," Kong Lao, who stood behind Ye Yunfei with Ouyang Tao, said to him.
"These disturbances are indeed coming from inside the Colorless Abyss," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"However, the Colorless Abyss is far too dangerous. Regardless of what's happening inside, we cannot act rashly, nor should we investigate recklessly. Issue an order: from this moment, seal off this region of the void. No one is to approach casually," Ye Yunfei instructed.
He knew that within the Colorless Abyss lay Divine Corpses, and not just one. Beyond those, there were certainly other unknown perils. Therefore, even though strange movements were detected, Ye Yunfei had no intention of exploring. If nothing else, encountering even an ordinary Divine Corpse would likely be more than he could handle.
Having said this, Ye Yunfei prepared to leave with Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao.
Boom!
At that very moment, a terrifying roar erupted from the Colorless Abyss. Ye Yunfei, Kong Lao, and Ouyang Tao all felt the very void they stood in begin to shake violently. Space roiled and churned like a pot of boiling water.
"Not good! We need to get away from here now!" Ye Yunfei waved his sleeve, drawing Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao into his grasp, intending to forcefully break away.
But to his shock, Ye Yunfei found himself unable to move.
Next, he saw an azure cauldron suddenly burst forth from the Colorless Abyss, appearing within this region of void.
The cauldron was four-sided, with two handles and four feet, radiating a brilliant azure light. Upon its massive quadrangular body were densely engraved many mysterious and ancient runes. The runes seemed almost alive, wriggling and crawling ceaselessly.
"Hmph! Evil outsiders, you still seek to weave plots here? Not a chance!" A cold snort emanated from the cauldron. Then, the massive vessel trembled slightly and vanished, seemingly soaring toward the distant reaches of time and space.
Not long after, every living being across the entire Chaotic Void Sea clearly heard the booming roar of a tremendous collision. Following that came the sound of something being shattered and a scream of agony.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei, Kong Lao, and Ouyang Tao remained sealed within the void near the abyss entrance by terrifying mysterious energy. Their bodies swayed incessantly along with the now-distorted and deformed space.
"Young Master Ye, what should we do now?" Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao asked in panic.
"Let's not act hastily for the moment. That cauldron likely wasn't targeting the three of us. If it were, we'd already be dead," Ye Yunfei said after a thoughtful gaze toward the direction where the colossal azure cauldron had departed.
In truth, from the moment things went awry, Ye Yunfei had been secretly employing the Chaos Heavenly Secrets Art for divination. He sensed little imminent danger, which steadied his mind considerably.
"Young Master Ye seems to be right," Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao said, visibly relaxing after hearing his words.
"That cauldron is returning!" Hun Lao suddenly transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei looked over, and indeed, a few breaths later, the massive azure cauldron reappeared in this part of the void. It descended near the Colorless Abyss entrance, gave a gentle shake, and completely disappeared from sight.
As the azure cauldron vanished, Ye Yunfei felt the sealing energy in the void begin to gradually dissipate.
"Young Master Ye, you were indeed right! That cauldron wasn't targeting us. Now the sealing energy is disappearing," Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao exclaimed with joy.
A moment later, Ye Yunfei and his companions felt themselves completely freed. The surrounding void also returned to its previous calm state.
"It seems that cauldron went to deal with some evil outsiders. With your strength, you couldn't even move a muscle against it. Imagine how terrifying the master of that cauldron must be," Hun Lao transmitted privately to Ye Yunfei. "Only a Deity could possess such power. So... could a Deity be concealed within the Colorless Abyss?"
"It could also be a soul power clone or a soul power imprint left behind by a Deity," Ye Yunfei mused after hearing Hun Lao's words. "That cauldron was definitely a Divine-level magical treasure. And its power far surpasses that of ordinary Divine artifacts."
"I think it wouldn't be strange at all if a real Deity were hidden within the Colorless Abyss," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly chimed in. "After all, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were once one of the strongest World Clusters in the entire Chaotic Void Sea during ancient times. They must have possessed numerous Deities back then. For one or two living Deities to remain until now is completely plausible."
"Indeed, we cannot rule out that possibility," Ye Yunfei nodded and continued. "However, if there truly are living Deities within the Colorless Abyss, they most likely belong to the ancient pantheon of this World Cluster. They probably wouldn't cause harm to these worlds. Instead, they might even protect this very cluster. So there's nothing to worry about."
"Young Master Ye, are you alright?" At this moment, a large group of Demigod experts from the Alliance Army came rushing over.
The earlier commotion was felt by all beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. The moment the energy seal in this void region lifted, the Alliance Army's Demigod experts hurried over.
"We're fine. Let's head back. From now on, seal off this space. No one is to approach without authorization," Ye Yunfei declared.
