Chapter 1462: Chapter 874: Demon Abyss Changes, Calamity Prophecy

Qiu Ruofeng stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and waved his hand.

A gigantic map appeared in the hall.

The map was dotted with countless lights, representing the internal structure of this Dark Abyss.

In the center of the map, there was a conspicuous red marker.

"Here," Qiu Ruofeng pointed at the red marker, "is the location of the Mysterious Transformation Great Power’s inheritance that we found."

Lu Qing looked at the red marker, frowning slightly.

That location was at the deepest part of the Star Map, surrounded by numerous danger markers.

Just looking at it, one could tell it was extremely perilous.

However, Lu Qing noticed that even this map only covered a small part of the Dark Abyss.

The deeper areas were still shrouded in darkness, clearly unexplored by the Netherworld Palace.

But even so, it was enough to surprise him.

Because back then, Old Cyan Dragon had said that even Transformation Immortals were reticent about venturing into the Dark Abyss without caution.

Yet now, the Netherworld Palace had managed to explore such a large area; although it was only the outer region, it was still astonishing.

After all, in today’s starry sky, Transformation Immortals had long since vanished, and there should be no such existence within the Netherworld Palace.

Did Old Cyan Dragon make a mistake, or had the Dark Abyss undergone new changes over such a long period?

Thoughts swirled in Lu Qing’s mind, yet his expression remained unchanged.

He looked at Qiu Ruofeng and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, there’s something I don’t understand."

Qiu Ruofeng quickly replied, "Please go on, fellow daoist."

Lu Qing said, "It’s said that even Transformation Immortals dare not enter the Dark Abyss recklessly, yet when I observe your entry, it seems you didn’t encounter much danger. Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ruofeng smiled, as if he had anticipated Lu Qing’s question.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed perceptive." He stroked his white beard and began to speak slowly, "This is a long story, involving many secrets of this Abyss, but since you’ve asked, I will naturally spare no details."

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and then continued, "In the Ancient Era, the Dark Abyss was indeed extremely terrifying.

Inside, it was filled with a terrifyingly pure dark aura, intense beyond our imagination.

Even those at the Unity Realm Stage and Transformation Immortals turned pale at its sight and dared not step into it lightly."

"That aura could erode a cultivator’s physical body and divine soul, as well as pollute the cultivator’s Dao Foundation.

It is said that many Transformation Immortals ventured inside back then, only to either perish or damage their Dao Foundation and suffer a major decline in cultivation upon returning.

Over time, the Dark Abyss became recognized as a death zone in the starry sky, and no one dared to approach it lightly."

Lu Qing nodded, as this matched what he had heard from Old Cyan Dragon.

This was also why the Curse Elder, when offending a Transformation Immortal and having nowhere to escape, ultimately chose to flee into the Dark Abyss.

Because only such a death zone could halt the steps of a Transformation Immortal.

Of course, whether the Curse Elder survived in the end was unknown.

After all, he had never been seen in the starry sky again afterwards.

As Lu Qing contemplated, Qiu Ruofeng shifted the topic and continued, "But starting from around a hundred thousand years ago, some change occurred in the Dark Abyss.

The dark aura inside began to weaken continuously, weaken, and weaken further.

Although the process was slow, the change became quite apparent over time."

"As time passed, in the recent tens of thousands of years, the dark aura on the outskirts of the Abyss has weakened considerably.

Even a Unity Realm cultivator entering it, as long as they don’t delve into the core area, won’t face much hindrance.

Of course, dangers still exist, but at least it’s not a sure death."

"A hundred thousand years ago?" Lu Qing’s interest was piqued.

This timeline is quite intriguing.

The Returning Ruins Secret Realm was sealed hundreds of thousands of years ago, and Old Cyan Dragon and the others have been isolated within, unaware of the Dark Abyss’s changes later on.

No wonder Old Cyan Dragon said that even Transformation Immortals feared this place.

What he knew was likely from a time when the dark aura was most intense.

"I see." Lu Qing nodded, asking no further questions.

But the doubts in his heart hadn’t completely dissipated.

Why had the dark aura weakened?

Was it a natural change or a result of human intervention?

If it was indeed due to intervention, what kind of realm would such a person have?

These questions, he temporarily withheld from asking.

He looked at Qiu Ruofeng with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I understand all this, but how does it relate to what you promised me before?"

Qiu Ruofeng was slightly taken aback.

Lu Qing continued, "I haven’t forgotten, I came here because you promised to tell me the reason for the disappearance of Transformation Immortals in the Ancient Era.

But after entering this Abyss, you haven’t mentioned a word about it and instead revealed to me the location of the Mysterious Transformation Great Power’s inheritance."

His voice was calm, but his tone carried a hint of coldness.

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch, even a child knows that. I don’t believe, Fellow Daoist Qiu, that you’d reveal such a great opportunity to me for no reason."

With these words, the atmosphere in the hall became subtly tense.

The Black Robed Men exchanged glances, a flicker of complex emotions in their eyes, yet none of them spoke.

They could all sense that although Lu Qing’s tone was calm, that faint oppressive feeling had reemerged.
