Chapter 882: Chapter 824: Fallen Demon Abyss (Alliance Leader +2)

Beidou Star Alliance, Dubhe Realm, Ruyi Sect.

The moon was bright, stars sparse, Xing Tuozi stood atop the highest peak of the sect, observing the stars at night, fiddling with the compass, and calculating with his fingers.

The more he calculated, the more solemn his expression became.

"It’s bad luck, just escaped one calamity, yet another is coming, concerning the fate of the Three Realms, it seems inescapable! It’s over, totally over now..."

Just as he finished sighing, an old Daoist with an immortal demeanor, wearing an earth-yellow Eight Diagrams Robe and holding a horsetail whisk, appeared behind him.

"Kid, what are you calculating?"

Xing Tuozi stiffly turned around, seeing his master, without needing him to say anything, he gave a bitter smile.

"To follow the Heaven and defy fate, I understand the principle, Master, you rest, I’ll go into seclusion now, not coming out till Divinity Transformation, when the Fallen Demon Abyss opens, I’ll go myself, okay?"

The old Daoist smiled radiantly, Xing Tuozi frowned in distress.

Watching Xing Tuozi carrying the compass, walking slowly down the mountain, the old Daoist raised his voice from behind, "Kid, I calculated that you’ll surely achieve Divinity Transformation at twenty-nine, don’t tarnish your Master’s reputation as a Divine Calculator."

Xing Tuozi paused in his steps and sighed heavily.

It’s over, can’t delay anymore!

But his own predictions were quite accurate too!

"Fallen Demon Abyss?!"

At the headquarters of the Four Directions Star Alliance, Yan Hua, Bodu, Cangliu, and Fatian, the four Immortal Monarchs, scanned the four individuals standing in front of them—Pei Shengyue, Ye Tianlang, Shi Yuming, and Xie Jingshan.

The four exchanged glances, none had heard of this place.

Immortal Monarch Cangliu lounged on a turtle’s back, Bodu played with a cat in his chair, Yan Hua looked at Fatian, signaling him to explain.

Compared to the days of the Qingyun Conference, Immortal Monarch Fatian seemed much more haggard because he practiced Dharma, he was put in charge of all matters of the Nine Great Star Alliances, supposedly to perfect his Dharma through management, but in reality, he was being used like an old ox.

After clearing his throat, Immortal Monarch Fatian explained to the four, "It’s the same as the Void Rift you saw in the Taiwei Star Alliance, that chasm dividing the entrances of the Human Clan and Demon Realm, that’s the Fallen Demon Abyss."

Xie Jingshan suddenly remembered what Zhuo Qingfeng had told him earlier, that it was the rift left by Sword Lord Zhufeng when he ascended, slashing through the void, and until now the Heaven and Earth Laws hadn’t been able to mend that rift.

He had once gone to inspect the rift nearby along with Zhuo Qingfeng, he indeed sensed a very strong Sword Intent and resonated with their own Wind Chasing Sword Intent.

Fatian continued, "The Fallen Demon Abyss was carved out by a Great Power Sword Monarch from Ancient Times to resist the Demon Clan, but the situation back then was much more complex. In short, that war buried countless Great Power Cultivators from Human, Demon, Demon, and Heavenly Witch Clans, not only those in the Refining Void and Integration Realm, but also..."

Fatian paused, "What I’m about to say next is rarely known in the Cultivation Realm, you best keep it to yourselves."

The four nodded in unison.

Fatian continued, "The war occurred after the Heavenly Calamity in the Spiritual Realm, back then the Upper Realm had just appeared, humans, demons, heavenly witches were all fighting over the lands and resources of the Upper Realm for three thousand years before it ended, the marker of its conclusion, was the Fallen Demon Abyss."

"The situation then was extremely dangerous, even Mahayana cultivators began making moves in the outer regions, if not stopped, the Upper Realm would have been destroyed as well, this is why now no matter how humans and demons fight, cultivators in Integration and Mahayana Realms seldom make a move."

"It was also that decisive slash by the Great Power Sword Monarch that split the void, burying everything and saving the entire Upper Realm. After that slash, the Sword Monarch’s merit was complete, and he ascended to the Immortal Realm. His merit was recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Those buried by his slash in the Fallen Demon Abyss include not only demon experts and the so-called Holy Ancestor, Heavenly Demon of the Demon Clan,

but also the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox of the Demon Clan, Zhur Wei of the Heavenly Witch Clan, and two Mahayana Immortal Monarchs of the Human Clan. No one knows what happened under the rift then, but later, every ten thousand years, the area around the Fallen Demon Abyss would experience disturbances, revealing entrances similar to Secret Realms."

"Such is fate, such is destiny, to your generation, the Fallen Demon Abyss will open for the ninth time. The Demon Clan always believes that their Holy Ancestor still has breath, so each time, they send numerous demon experts into the abyss in the attempt to find their Ice Demon Ancestor."

"The Demon Clan does this, and the Demon Clan imitates, even some remaining Heavenly Witch Clan cultivators in the Upper Realm, if capable, would find ways to enter and explore, consequently, humans can’t stand idly by either, human cultivators must also enter the Fallen Demon Abyss."

"Like all Secret Realms, the entrance to the Fallen Demon Abyss is unstable, and the space below is very chaotic, so only Divinity Transformation cultivators are most suited to enter. After previous closures of the Fallen Demon Abyss, as long as humans emerged safely more than the Demon Clan, human fortune would gradually grow strong, lasting at least around five thousand years."

"Indeed," Yan Hua chimed in, "This situation is much like the hunting rituals established by humans, demons, and demons in the Spiritual Realm during the Ancient Era, vying for Heaven and Earth Source Power to protect their respective clans."

Fatian nodded, "The conditions below change each time, completely irregular with no pattern to follow. I will dispatch late-stage Divinity Transformation experts from the Nine Great Star Alliances into it, meanwhile, I hope you can strive harder to break through to Divinity Transformation before the Fallen Demon Abyss opens."

"For this, the Star Alliance and your sects will provide ample resources and support. You have been prioritized for cultivation since childhood, not only because of your outstanding talent but also because your fate intertwines with the safety of the Three Realms, all these are calculated at the cost of lifespan by the Divine Calculators of the Ruyi Sect."

"Besides the four of you, there are also Shen Huaxi, Zhao Benlei, Jiangg Ling’er, Zuo Qiuhe, Fengg Zhuxin, Xing Tuozi, Wu Yang of Wu Chao, and others who emerged prominently at the previous Qingyun Conference, all are part of this arrangement, so if you can make it, it’s best for you all to go. Now, if you have any objections, speak up."

The four had varied expressions, yet Xie Jingshan felt an odd familiarity with the scene, though he was just getting a bit fired up, a voice suddenly popped into his head.

Shut your damn mouth!

Xie Jingshan shivered, the echo reverberating in his mind, he suddenly felt dispirited.

She was gone now, otherwise, she would surely agree happily and take him along to dig up Mahayana relics.

Xie Jingshan could even imagine her eyes gleaming with delight upon seeing a cherished treasure.

"We’re going!" Pei Shengyue took the lead, Ye Tianlang and Shi Yuming nodded in agreement.

Several gazes fell on Xie Jingshan, he slowly nodded.

Fatian breathed a sigh of relief, fearing Xie Jingshan might recall something and suddenly curse him, the echoes were fresh in memory!

"Good, now I’ll specifically tell you about the matters within the Fallen Demon Abyss..."

Meanwhile.

Fairy Yuxiao instructed Zuo Qiuhe on playing the zither amidst the wind and snow of Beiji Palace.

Immortal Monarch Wu Wei personally took the field, toppled Wu Yang countless times with a finger without moving spiritual energy.

Zhao Benlei, with sword in hand, entered the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb at Pojun Mountain once more.

Jiangg Ling’er followed the Jiangg Family Old Ancestor, entered seclusion in a quiet room.

Fengg Zhuxin stood at the mountain peak, with the heavens as canvas, clouds as ink, painting with miraculous strokes.

Shen Huaxi with Zhao Fuyi and a group returned gloriously to their hometown, again seeing Fuzhang, wanting to take him on a journey of cultivation.

In the Upper Demon Realm, Luling failed to find Tai Sui’s trace, was punished to secluded cultivation.

In an unnamed mountain, Ao Juan soared clouds and mist, swallowed Azure Dragon Dragon Ball, dragon form was both there and not, both in this realm and not, the understanding of Space Law deepened gradually.

Roar!!

Ao Juan let out a long cry, looked towards the horizon with anticipation, awaiting the day to reunite with Little Immortal Ganoderma.

Humans, demons, and Shen Huaxi of the Heavenly Witch Clan were all preparing for the once-in-ten-thousand-years opening of the Fallen Demon Abyss in the Upper Realm.

In the Demon Realm, the lives of demons weren’t easy either.

"Did you hear, recently there’s an Exotic Mirage Demon outside, called Yue, eats ravenously, devoured almost all of Chana!"

"Heard, heard, eats anything, we Fire Demons don’t eat Water Demons and Ice Demons, but she eats everything, terrifying!"

"Enough, I’m scared!"

"Let’s go find some demons to eat and cultivate well, else when we meet her next time, we can’t even run."

"Right, right, no time to slack, we must go out and eat more demons for peace of mind!"
