Chapter 1487: Chapter 884: World Invasion, Ancient Secrets

"This matter is a long story..."

Gui Xu Taoist paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

His ethereal figure gently drifted, as if he was recalling those long-buried past events.

"Child, do you know that beyond this starry sky, there are other worlds?"

Lu Qing’s heart stirred, and he nodded, "I know, the Dark Abyss, it’s said to be connected to another world."

Gui Xu Taoist’s eyes flashed with surprise, "Oh, you actually know about the Dark Abyss, seems like you’ve been there?"

Lu Qing nodded, "Not long ago, I used my Divine Thought Avatar to enter the Dark Abyss and saw the corpse of the Mysterious Transformation Great Power."

"Xuanhua..." Gui Xu Taoist fell silent for a while upon hearing the name, then said, "I didn’t expect you not only entered the Dark Abyss but also went deep into that location. Back when I entered, I was also very cautious, treading on thin ice."

Lu Qing nodded, recounting his experiences in the Dark Abyss in brief.

Starting from meeting Qiu Ruofeng, to entering the Demon Abyss, encountering those Demon Fire Monsters, and finally entering the black tomb, seeing the corpse of Xuanhua seated on the White Jade Throne.

He didn’t share too many details, just described the general course of events, including the numerous Demon Fire Monsters, their formidable power, and the strange scene of Xuanhua’s corpse being half light and half dark.

Gui Xu Taoist listened without interrupting Lu Qing.

It was only when Lu Qing mentioned that the Power of Darkness in the Dark Abyss was weakening that Gui Xu Taoist’s ethereal body trembled slightly.

He remained silent for a long time after Lu Qing finished speaking.

The great hall fell into silence.

The old Azure Dragon and the others listened quietly, without speaking.

After a while, Gui Xu Taoist sighed and slowly began to speak.

"Indeed, it is the Dark Abyss that has changed. No wonder even you at the Unity Realm Stage could enter and exit safely.

When I entered back then, the Power of Darkness was much more intense than it is now.

Even though my clone only went in to scout, it almost got eroded and damaged my Divine Thought."

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze deep and profound.

"You guessed right, deep inside the Dark Abyss, it indeed connects to another world. The reason I left this starry sky back then is actually related to this."

Lu Qing listened intently, not interrupting.

Gui Xu Taoist continued, "It all starts with one person."

He paused, his gaze becoming distant, as if traversing endless time, returning to that distant era.

"I was still young then, just stepping into the Transformation Realm, full of vigor, wanting to travel across the entire starry sky, exploring all mysteries during that period, I met someone."

"Someone?" Lu Qing asked.

Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "A Transformation Immortal, he was knowledgeable, eloquent, and knew many secrets even I wasn’t aware of.

At that time, I was young, admired him greatly, considered him a confidant, and invited him to travel the starry sky together, exploring various mysteries."

Lu Qing nodded slightly, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the old Azure Dragon and the others.

At this glance, he was slightly startled.

He saw the old Azure Dragon, Black Bull, and Ming Feng all showing expressions of indignation on their faces.

The old Azure Dragon’s eyes flashed with anger, the Black Bull’s eyes glared round, snorting heavily, and Ming Feng, although maintaining a hint of grace, had indignation in its phoenix eyes.

Lu Qing felt puzzled but didn’t interrupt Gui Xu Taoist’s story.

Gui Xu Taoist continued, "We traveled together for a period of time.

Those days were indeed joyful.

We explored many ancient ruins together, comprehended many profound Cultivation Techniques, discussed various mysteries in the starry sky.

I thought I had found a true confidant."

His voice lowered.

"But gradually, I discovered something amiss."

"What was amiss?" Lu Qing asked.

Gui Xu Taoist said, "That person, although outwardly elegant and eloquent, actually had a rather fanatical heart.

Especially when he talked about those low-level cultivators and mortals, his tone was full of disdain.

In his eyes, those people were nothing more than ants, weeds, bugs that could be easily crushed."

He sighed and continued, "At first, I didn’t pay much attention.

I also knew this world is survival of the fittest, where the strong are respected.

Every strong individual has their own attitude towards the world.

I had compassion for the lower living creatures, but I wasn’t arrogant enough to think others must feel the same."

"Until one thing happened." Gui Xu Taoist’s voice turned heavy, "That incident made me realize that he and I were not of the same kind."

Lu Qing listened quietly.

Gui Xu Taoist said, "That time, he and I used Divine Thought Avatars, concealing our Cultivation, entered a Small World to travel.

That Small World was quite ordinary, with thin Spiritual Energy and no strong figures.

We roamed like two ordinary wandering Daoists, experiencing the life of mortals in those cities and villages."

"One day, we arrived in a city.

That city wasn’t large but had a population of several hundred thousand.

The streets were bustling with people.

We were walking on the street, just looking for a place to rest. At that time, an accident happened."

"A mortal accidentally bumped into him."

Gui Xu Taoist’s voice carried a touch of anger, even after hundreds of thousands of years, that anger had not dissipated.

"Just an ordinary mortal, a small vendor carrying a pole, because there were many people on the street, his pole accidentally brushed against that man’s sleeve, just a little thing, just a little bump."
