A profound ship that carried some 300 cultivators were lowered down into the Abyssal Maelstrom Sea. Among them were 1 8th realm cultivator, 3 saints, 6 supremacies and 9 golden celestials.
The Evil Cultivation God had sent them to scout the Great Desolate Divine Palace as his advance party as he did not want to take the risk of investigating the Great Desolate Divine Palace himself.
This profound ship approached cautiously and was prepared to make for the run if they were attacked by the profound arrays of the Great Desolate Divine Palace.
But there were none as they approached closer and closer to the Great Desolate Divine Palace even as their profound ship sunk deep into the desolate mists.
If they got attacked then their anxiety would be eased.
But they did not and this caused their anxiety to surge instead.
