Chapter 262: arning from the Death Abyss Eye
Reflected on the sea surface behind him was a massive blood red full moon.
At the center of the moon, a cassia tree flickered in and out of view.
No one knew how long had passed.
Fu Young suddenly felt a sharp pain in his meridians.
After blinking once, everything disappeared.
He was once again in the state of meditating and resting.
He looked around in a daze.
The faint pain in his meridians reminded him that, for the first time in his life, he had circulated spiritual energy through the wrong meridians and nearly gone berserk.
Was what he just saw an illusion? Or something else?
Fu Young silently pulled down the pendant hanging around his neck.
He did not even use force, yet the thread made of thousand year Ice sil worm thread snapped immediately.
The time crystal hanging from it had shattered.
Fu Young stared at the broken crystal with bloodshot eyes for a long time.
After several deep breaths, he finally returned to his usual calm expression.
He picked up the communication jade at his waist and infused it with spiritual energy.
"Young’er! It really feels like we are connected by heart. I was just about to contact you!"
Xiao Shou had just finished absorbing all the Death Energy Gem.
He had discovered that his bloodline divine ability had somehow advanced to the next tier and he was extremely excited.
The moment the communication jade lit up, he immediately answered, eager to share the good news with his disciple.
Fu Young’s expression remained as usual, even the curve of his smile unchanged.
But if one looked closely, there was a faint trace of destruction hidden in his eyes.
"What happened? Is something wrong?" he asked.
"It’s a good thing. It turns out this island is full of death energy, and my bloodline ability can absorb it and turn it into spiritual power. Just now I absorbed all the death energy on the island, and my ability actually advanced once. I only just realized my bloodline ability can even level up. This time I really got lucky. The Heavenly Dao is finally fond of me."
"This really is my blessed land. I have decided. Tomorrow I will go deeper underground. There might be an even greater opportunity. My divine sense cannot even perceive what is below, so there must be something amazing waiting for me."
Xiao Shou was extremely excited and kept talking without stopping.
After all, ever since he transmigrated, he had been constantly unlucky.
First it was Yu Lin, then the male and female protagonists, then Xiang Yu.
Every time he encountered trouble, he could only barely scrape by and benefit from the margins of others’ opportunities.
This time, however, everything had gone smoothly.
No disasters, no interference, no protagonists, no supporting characters causing trouble.
He had simply obtained a full opportunity on his own.
It made him feel as if his luck had finally turned and the Heavenly Dao itself had begun to favor him.
When Fu Young heard this, his black eyes flickered with a trace of light.
Looking at the person most important to him in such a rare state of excitement, he had no choice but to gently shatter his imagination in the softest voice.
"Master, speaking of islands with death energy, I suddenly remembered something. I once read somewhere that in the Northern Sea there is a Death Abyss Eye. One day it was accidentally opened by a cultivator."
"After that, the Death Abyss Eye continuously released death energy, polluting the island, the seawater, and the sky. All birds, beasts, fish, and insects in the surrounding area were wiped out. Later, a mysterious existence became furious and suppressed that cultivator inside the Death Abyss Eye, sealing the Death Death Abyss Eye itself. Speaking of which, Master, the island you are on right now looks exactly like the sealed Death Abyss Eye I read about."
"Heh... it can’t be that coincidental, right?"
Xiao Shou broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
He then said in frustration. "Hmph! Don’t even say it. I knew it. How could my luck be this good? Getting opportunities so smoothly must be a trap set by the Heavenly Dao to tempt me. It is probably trying to seal me here too, right? I will not fall for it."
"Heavenly Dao..." Fu Young crushed the time crystal fragments in his hand into powder and spoke in a meaningful tone.
After Xiao Shou finished his venting, he looked at Fu Young a little embarrassedly and said, "Young’er, I will reflect properly later. I will never again be fooled by any sweet talking traps. Sigh, I was careless this time."
"I believe Master will set a good example for me. Then that is all for now. I am going to rest."
Fu Young said with a bright smile and immediately cut off the communication jade.
As he looking at the darkened communication jade, Xiao Shou scratched his hair and said in confusion. "Young’er seems to be angry. That can’t be, right?"
Thinking about how he spent the night meditating on the island while feeling anxious and sweating cold, Xiao Shou opened his eyes from meditation.
Everything around him was pitch black.
The originally cleaned island had somehow returned to its previous state.
Was this the death energy that was leaking from the Death Abyss Eye?
Without realizing it, the entire island had turned black again.
Since the novel "Longevity Love" had included plotlines about the Death Abyss Eye, Xiao Shou understood very well what kind of existence this was.
If the death energy truly spread in large amounts, the entire Heaven Origin Realm would eventually become a dead land.
Unless the Spring of Life and Death could be found, otherwise...
Knowing how dangerous this place was, Xiao Shou still could not bear to waste his spiritual power.
Before leaving the island, he simply gathered the exposed death energy on the island again and refined it into Death Energy Gem to store them away.
