I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1459 - 873: Entering the Demon Abyss, Shocking News of Inheritance

The Endless Demon Abyss, a place known to cultivators as the Dark Abyss, is located deep within the Chaotic Star Sea. It is a notorious dead zone within the vast expanse of the starry sky, with several such areas rumored to exist. Legend has it that the Dark Abyss teems with countless perils, posing a near-certain death sentence for those who enter at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Even cultivators in the Integration Realm face a significant risk of perishing if they dare to venture inside. According to insights shared by Old Cyan Dragon within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, even Transformation Immortals harbor a deep apprehension towards it and prefer not to discuss it. Very few individuals have managed to explore the Dark Abyss and return in one piece.

In ancient times, the Curse Elder, a master of the Curse Path, sought refuge in the Dark Abyss after angering a Transformation Immortal, and was never seen again. However, in a previous encounter, Lu Qing learned from a white-robed woman belonging to the Kongming Sect that the ancestor of the Black and White Temple had miraculously returned from the Dark Abyss. Furthermore, this ancestor had stumbled upon a monumental opportunity, which subsequently propelled the Black and White Temple to prominence. The Dark Demon Pearl, brought forth by Mo Cangtian and his companions, which possesses the ability to temporarily subvert the Heavenly Dao Will of the Life Realm, was a relic their ancestor acquired from the Dark Abyss.

Consequently, observing Qiu Ruofeng and his retinue emerging from the Dark Abyss naturally elicits surprise from Lu Qing. Nevertheless, he refrains from direct inquiries about their escape, instead posing the reason for their summons to this location.

In response to Lu Qing's query, Qiu Ruofeng offers no immediate answer. Instead, he strokes his beard, a knowing smile gracing his features, and poses a question back, "Mr. Lu, are you not curious as to why we emerged from the Dark Abyss?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's expression darkens slightly. This elder is still playing games, even at this juncture.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu," Lu Qing states calmly, his voice as placid as a tranquil lake. "My patience wears thin. Should you persist in veiled pronouncements and trifling with me, do not hold me accountable for any subsequent discourtesy."

The moment his words conclude, an intangible aura emanates from Lu Qing. This aura, though not overtly violent and remarkably restrained, causes the surrounding space to seem to freeze instantaneously.

Qiu Ruofeng's smile falters. The eyes of the Black Robed Men positioned behind him widen abruptly, their bodies instinctively stiffening. Their mana surges uncontrollably, as if confronted by something profoundly terrifying. A frigid sensation permeates their beings, ascending directly to the crown of their heads – the unmistakable harbinger of death.

They perceive with stark clarity that the young-looking Unity Realm cultivator, despite being merely a Divine Thought Avatar, possesses the capability to annihilate every one of them should he choose, ensuring no escape. The Black Robed Men are utterly Dumbfounded. They are not inconsequential figures; any individual dispatched by the Netherworld Palace for such clandestine missions is a formidable entity, having endured millennia, or even tens of millennia, of cultivation, and stands as a prominent figure among those in the Integration Realm.

Yet, in this very moment, facing Lu Qing's Divine Thought Avatar, they experience an unparalleled sense of existential peril, as though Lu Qing could, at any instant, decide to eradicate them completely.

"Could... could this be the 'anomaly' who attained the Unity Realm through nine paths?" one of the Black Robed Men mutters, his voice laced with undeniable dread. While the others remain silent, their eyes betray their profound shock and reverence.

They now comprehend why Qiu Ruofeng, upon his return from the Heavenly Origin Great World, adamantly insisted that the Netherworld Palace should never incur Lu Qing's wrath. It was not a case of Qiu Ruofeng exaggerating; rather, this man's might has genuinely surpassed their wildest imaginings. Despite being merely at the Initial Stage of Harmony, the oppressive pressure he exerts is more formidable than that of ancient cultivators who have spent thousands of years honing their skills to the late-stage Integration realm.

Qiu Ruofeng also appears unnerved. He hastily gestures with his hands, a forced smile plastered on his face. "Mr. Lu, I implore you, please calm yourself! Please, do not be angered! How could I possibly dare to mock you? It is simply... simply that the narrative is so extensive, it is difficult to know where to begin."

Lu Qing offers no verbal response, merely maintaining his gaze upon Qiu Ruofeng. The surrounding aura of pressure also remains undispelled.

Beads of perspiration form on Qiu Ruofeng's forehead. He draws a deep breath, recognizing that if he continues to prevaricate, this man might very well take decisive action. He had personally witnessed Lu Qing's unhesitating ruthlessness when he annihilated Mo Cangtian and the other ancient demons previously.

Therefore, he hastily explains, "If you desire to comprehend the truth, the matter is quite straightforward. Mere words may prove insufficient; even if I were to recount it, you might not fully grasp its veracity. Why not accompany us within and witness it firsthand? Such an approach would likely be far more convincing."

"You want me to go in there?" Lu Qing's brow furrowed slightly as his gaze swept past Qiu Ruofeng, landing on the colossal, inky black void that tore across the starry expanse behind him. "You're suggesting we enter this Dark Abyss?"

Qiu Ruofeng affirmed with a nod, his tone earnest. "Precisely. The answers you are searching for reside within this Abyss."

Lu Qing offered no immediate reply, his attention captivated by the ominous rift.

It was as black as obsidian, absorbing all light, seeming capable of devouring existence itself.

A mere glance sent shivers through one's Heart and Spirit, as though one's very Divine Soul were in danger of being ripped away.

The Dark Abyss, renowned as one of the most treacherous dead zones within the Chaotic Star Sea.

Even formidable cultivators at the Unity Realm, should they venture in without caution, risked utter annihilation.

And now, Qiu Ruofeng was extending an invitation for him to enter?

"Mr. Lu?" Qiu Ruofeng inquired hesitantly, noticing Lu Qing's prolonged silence. "What are your thoughts on this?"

Lu Qing finally broke his gaze from the rift, turning his attention back to Qiu Ruofeng.

After a brief period of contemplation, he slowly inclined his head. "Very well. I shall accompany you inside. Let us see what mysteries you are so intent on uncovering."
