Chapter 1472: Chapter 878
Lu Qing remained silent.
He hadn’t expected that the reason for the disappearance of those Transformation Immortals was such as this.
Corroded by the Power of Darkness, marked, and then forcibly pulled into a rift at a specific moment.
Such a method is simply mind-boggling.
What exactly lies beyond that rift?
Where have those pulled-in Transformation Immortals gone? Are they alive or dead?
A multitude of questions surged in his mind.
However, he quickly thought of another question.
What Qiu Ruofeng mentioned was only the reason behind the disappearance of that batch of Transformation Immortals in ancient times.
But in a more distant time, in primordial times, those powerful beings from the Human Race who won after the battle with the Witch Clan, where did they go?
He had personally seen records of that history in the Trial Secret Realm of the Witch Clan.
At that time, the Human Race and the Witch Clan contended fiercely, the two great races battling intensely in this starry sky, with the Human Race ultimately prevailing.
At that time, the Human Race must have had many extraordinarily powerful Great Powers, otherwise, they could not have defeated the naturally strong-bodied and Divine Skills endowed Witch Clan.
Yet in this era, he seems not to have seen any records or legends related to those Great Powers.
It’s as if those primordial Great Powers, after defeating the Witch Clan, soon collectively vanished.
This is not normal.
The records left by the Holy Alliance in the Heavenly Origin Great World also vaguely describe that period of history.
He discovered this issue when he was browsing through the Holy Alliance’s library.
The records from those ancient days are extremely brief, as if deliberately erased, leaving only some vague legends and fragmented words.
What is going on here?
Who, and for what purpose, wants to erase that piece of history?
Also, after ancient times, in the recent hundreds of thousands of years, where have the disappeared Transformation Immortals gone?
According to the Holy Alliance’s records, it’s not that there hasn’t been any Transformation Immortals appearing in these hundreds of thousands of years.
Every few ten thousand years, there would always be a peerless talent breaking through that barrier, stepping into the Realm of Transformation.
Like the one who once dominated the Great Origin Immortal Domain for a long time, they ruled the starry sky, awe-inspiring for a time.
But these people all eventually disappeared.
Could it be that they also disappeared because of the Dark Abyss?
Lu Qing doesn’t think so.
If the Dark Abyss truly possessed such a terrifying power, able to forcibly pull in Transformation Immortals one by one, then it shouldn’t be shrinking in the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea, but would have devoured the entire starry sky by now, constantly expanding itself.
But the fact is, although the Dark Abyss is perilous, it has always remained in that region, never expanding.
This indicates a limitation to its power.
Or perhaps, it’s being restrained.
And then there is that seal.
The seal left by that unnamed unparalleled powerhouse.
Lu Qing recalled Qiu Ruofeng’s earlier words about an unnamed unparalleled powerhouse using Supreme Divine Power to seal that rift.
If this is true, then who is this powerhouse?
After sealing the rift, where did he go?
Someone who could seal such a rift spanning the starry sky must possess power far surpassing regular Transformation Immortals.
Such a being should have left behind some legends.
Yet in neither the Holy Alliance’s records nor other factions’ documentation is there mention of such a powerhouse.
It’s as if someone erased even his name from history.
And then there are Gui Xu Taoist and Potian Taoist.
The disappearance of these two should have nothing to do with the Dark Abyss.
According to Old Cyan Dragon and others, Gui Xu Taoist disappeared after leaving behind the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, bringing with him a number of direct disciples and abundant resources.
Potian Taoist vanished before breaking through to the Unity Realm Stage.
Their disappearances likely have other reasons.
Thus, although he gained potential reasons for the disappearance of those ancient Transformation Immortals from Qiu Ruofeng, the puzzles in Lu Qing’s heart remained unsolved and seemed even greater.
The disappearance of the primordial Great Powers, the disappearance of the ancient Transformation Immortals, the mysterious powerhouse who sealed the rift, the whereabouts of Gui Xu Taoist and Potian Taoist, and the true identity of the Black and White Temple’s founder...
These mysteries, each deeper than the last, each further away, seem like layers of mist enveloping the history of primordial and ancient times tightly.
Lu Qing kept silent, not voicing these thoughts.
He looked at Qiu Ruofeng, sensing from the other’s tone and expression that Qiu Ruofeng might not be clear about the history of the Human Race and Witch Clan battles either.
Or perhaps, the entire Netherworld Palace has no detailed records on the matter.
After all, the founder of the Netherworld Palace was a Transformation Immortal from ancient times.
And ancient times came after primal times.
Regarding the more distant primordial times, they likely don’t know much more than outsiders.
Moreover, he didn’t intend to expose his relationship with the Witch Clan.
Lu Qing’s mind spun, changing the subject.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, how much do you know about the origins of the Black and White Temple?"
Hearing Lu Qing mention this, Qiu Ruofeng’s expression immediately turned grave.
Those few Black Robed figures also looked up, their faces revealing apprehension, some even subconsciously clenched their fists.
Qiu Ruofeng was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Talking about the Black and White Temple, we at Netherworld Palace have been closely monitoring it over the years."
"Oh?" Lu Qing slightly raised his eyebrows.
Qiu Ruofeng said, "You should know that the rise of the Black and White Temple was triggered by their founder’s return from exploring the Dark Abyss.
Their founder, it’s said, was but an obscure figure before entering the Abyss, with cultivation only at the Primordial Spirit Realm, barely noticeable in the starry sky back then."
