Chapter 1461: Chapter 873: Entering the Demon Abyss, Shocking News of an Inheritance_3
The cultivators on the floating stone saw them and saluted one after another. Several powerful elders came up, their eyes falling on Lu Qing, filled with curiosity and scrutiny.
Qiu Ruofeng waved his hand to signal them to withdraw, then said to Lu Qing, "Mr. Lu, please come with me."
He led Lu Qing to a large hall in the center of the floating stone.
The hall was simply arranged, with only a few stone tables and stone chairs, but array formation restrictions were densely packed, making it evidently an important place.
After everyone was seated, Qiu Ruofeng looked at Lu Qing and said solemnly, "Mr. Lu, now I can tell you everything."
Lu Qing said nothing, just quietly watching him.
Qiu Ruofeng took a deep breath and slowly began.
"Our Netherworld Palace is so concerned with this Dark Abyss, even at great expense to establish a stronghold here, because we are searching for something."
"What is it?" Lu Qing asked.
Qiu Ruofeng said word by word, "A legacy left by a fallen ancient Great Power."
Lu Qing’s heart slightly moved.
A legacy from an ancient Great Power?
Qiu Ruofeng continued, "Do you know the origin of the Dark Abyss?"
Lu Qing shook his head.
Qiu Ruofeng said, "According to generations of investigation by our Netherworld Palace’s Supreme Elders, this Dark Abyss likely contains remnants of an ancient battlefield. The level of that battle was extremely high, with combatants far beyond the Transformation Realm."
Far beyond the Transformation Realm.
Lu Qing couldn’t help but recall the great war he had seen deep within the World Origin.
Those black and white figures, treading on the Xinghe, shattering countless stars with every move, and the sudden appearance of three blood-colored figures...
Their power indeed far exceeded the Transformation Realm.
"And that fallen ancient Great Power perished in that battle," Qiu Ruofeng said. "His legacy is hidden somewhere within this Demon Abyss."
Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked, "How do you know there’s a legacy?"
Qiu Ruofeng smiled and took an object from his bosom, handing it to Lu Qing.
It was a fragmentary Jade Scroll, white and glowing faintly.
Lu Qing took the Jade Scroll and infused his Divine Thought into it.
A moment later, he looked up, a trace of unusual color flashing in his eyes.
The Jade Scroll recorded an extremely profound cultivation technique.
The cultivation technique was vast beyond comparison, surpassing any he had ever seen. Moreover, from the remaining aura within the Jade Scroll, the person who left this technique had a cultivation level beyond imagination.
But what concerned him more were the fragmented runes on the Jade Scroll.
Those runes were somewhat similar to the ones he had seen on the broken jade in the depths of the World Origin.
"This Jade Scroll..." Lu Qing looked at Qiu Ruofeng.
Qiu Ruofeng said, "This Jade Scroll was accidentally acquired by one of our Netherworld Palace’s Supreme Elders in this Demon Abyss. Unfortunately, he didn’t survive to return, but used a secret technique to send out the Jade Scroll before his death."
He paused and continued, "From this Jade Scroll, we learned that the fallen ancient Great Power was named ’Xuanhua’."
Xuanhua!
Lu Qing’s pupils slightly contracted.
This name was all too familiar to him.
Back in the illusion of the broken jade, the white figure was called ’Xuanhua’ by the black figure!
That white figure holding the Jade Ruyi was the ’ancient Great Power’ whom Qiu Ruofeng spoke of?
Moreover, he had fallen?
Lu Qing recalled the end of the illusion, Xuanhua severely injured and fleeing, pursued by Mo Tian and those three blood-colored figures.
Could it be that he ultimately failed to escape and perished here?
"Mr. Lu?" Qiu Ruofeng asked softly, seeing his strange expression, "Do you know something?"
Lu Qing regained his senses and shook his head, "Nothing, just that the name sounds familiar."
He didn’t speak truthfully.
Some things are not meant to be disclosed yet.
Qiu Ruofeng didn’t press further and continued, "For years, we’ve been searching for Xuanhua’s legacy, and through persistent effort, we’ve finally found clues."
