Chapter 990: Abyssal Chasm, Another Conspiracy
Not sure if her analysis was correct, Yu Huang looked up at Mo Xiao and saw that he was looking at her with an encouraging expression. Yu Huang felt encouraged and continued, “I think that just like how our faith nourished the soul of Holy Spirit Goldfeather, the faith of the demon beasts also brought the Lord of All Demons back. I wonder if I’m right?”
Mo Xiao nodded and said, “I have the same thoughts as you about the Lord of All Demons returning to the human world.”
He brought Yu Huang into the dark forest. As they walked, he said, “Everyone says that spiritual power is the strongest power in this world, but Su Tingxue discovered psychic power. It can be seen that other than spiritual power, there are many undiscovered powers in this world.”
At this point, Mo Xiao suddenly asked Yu Huang, “What is psychic power?”
What exactly was psychic power? This was a question that even the Purifying Spirit Sect didn’t come to a conclusion about.
Every Purifying Spirit Master had their own different opinions.
Yu Huang said, “I think that psychic power is kindness released from the depths of a person’s heart.”
Mo Xiao didn’t comment on Yu Huang’s opinion. Instead, he said, “Among these four powers, the power of faith is the only power that can create a miracle. The more invisible those powers are, the stronger their potential.”
“Because of the existence of spiritual power, countless Beast Tamers appeared in this world. Because of the existence of psychic power, a large number of Purifying Spirit Masters were born. The existence of resentment produced demonic existences. It can be seen that once any energy is controlled and used by someone, it can have an immeasurable effect.”
Mo Xiao was like a selfless teacher relaying his state of mind to Yu Huang.
He walked in front and slashed through the forest thorns with his sword, creating a narrow but absolutely safe path for Yu Huang.
As Yu Huang stared at Mo Xiao’s back, she suddenly thought of a word—
Guide.
The elders led their children onto the cultivation path and used the swords in their hands to open a path for them.
In silence, they finally walked through the thorny forest and appeared at the edge of a dangerous cliff.
The cliff seemed to have been cut down the middle by an axe. In the middle of the axe, there was an abyss, and a towering triangular mountain was opposite it. On the mountain, countless vines grew into stairs, houses, and castles. This was a forest castle.
A towering ancient tree fell into the abyss, forming a wooden bridge that connected the two mountains. There were no protective measures on both sides of the bridge, and if one fell, one would fall into the abyss.
Those without courage wouldn’t dare to cross this bridge.
Yu Huang thought that Mo Xiao was bringing her to admire the cave abode of the Lord of All Demons. She thought to herself that her adoptive father was quite an aesthete. However, he should have brought his wife, She Ying, to admire such a beautiful place instead.
As if he could read Yu Huang’s doubts, Mo Xiao chuckled and interrupted Yu Huang’s reverie. He said, “We’re not going to the cave abode of the Lord of All Demons.”
“Huh?” Yu Huang was surprised.
They had already arrived at the front of the forest castle.
If Mo Xiao wasn’t bringing her to see the forest castle of the Lord of the Demons, what did he bring her to do?
Mo Xiao extended his slender index finger and pointed at the abyss gully in front of them as he said, “This is the place I want to show you.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
She swallowed hard and asked in disbelief, “Godfather, don’t tell me that this abyss is connected to that famous abyss rift…”
The abyss rift was located in the center of the Abyssal Origin Forest. Its center was a huge abyssal hole that was like an eyeball. Four rifts extended from the north, south, east, and west.
That year, after Anna’s sacrifice, when she fell into the abyss with the Icy Night T-Rex, Yu Huang followed Di Ruofeng to the center of the abyss.
Yu Huang felt afraid of the abyss rift.
Back then, the Grand State Master, who was already a Prime Emperor, was trapped in the abyss rift for two hundred years before he finally climbed out in a sorry state. One could imagine how terrifying it was inside.
Mo Xiao nodded and said, “That’s right. This is the northern crack that connects to the center of the abyss.”
Yu Huang’s scalp instantly went numb. “You… want to bring me into the deep…” Before Yu Huang could finish speaking, her shoulder was suddenly grabbed by Mo Xiao. Then, her feet left the ground, and her body fell into the void.
Even Yu Huang, who had strong mental fortitude, couldn’t help but let out a despairing shout—
“Ah!!”
They fell for nearly three minutes.
The lower they went, the greater the pressure below. That feeling reminded Yu Huang of the experience they had when they entered the depths of the sea to search for the ancient merman tomb in the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
The reason why the seabed was powerful was because of the effect of the seawater.
But what could there be below this place?
“We’re here,” Mo Xiao said.
Yu Huang was stunned. Immediately after, she sensed her feet touching the ground.
Huh?
At the bottom of the abyss rift, there was actually soil.
Logically speaking, the bottom of the abyss connected to the three thousand worlds should be a vortex, just like the bottom of the Time Valley.
As if sensing Yu Huang’s confusion, Mo Xiao told her, “The bottom of the abyss rift is indeed empty, but we haven’t approached the heart of the abyss rift yet.” As he spoke, Mo Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand and walked towards the front of the rift on the hard ground.
It was pitch black below. Yu Huang was really worried that they would miss a step and fall into the abyss.
She tried to turn on the flashlight, but the light couldn’t shine in this space.
She could only follow Mo Xiao forward.
After walking for an unknown period of time, she realized that the surrounding air had become chaotic. She stopped in her tracks and said, “The energy here is very chaotic.”
At this moment, Mo Xiao also said, “We’re almost there.”
“Okay.”
Staring at the chaotic storm, they moved forward with difficulty for a few hundred meters before they could no longer move.
At this moment, the energy in the air became extremely chaotic and it was difficult to move.
Mo Xiao said to Yu Huang, “Stand there and don’t move.” With that said, he let go of Yu Huang’s hand and took out something from his interspatial ring. He lit it up. It was a lamp that could glow.
To be precise, it was a kind of glowing insect.
It was dozens of times larger than a firefly and was contained in a glass cover by Mo Xiao.
The insect’s light was very dazzling.
However, when Mo Xiao extended it into the storm in front of him, the dazzling light softened.
With the light of the insect, Yu Huang saw what was in front of them clearly.
It was an energy storm in the shape of an eye. It was like a vortex of water droplets that pulled everything outside into the vortex!
Yu Huang was extremely familiar with that thing. It was spiritual power!
It was the only spiritual power left in the Holy Spirit Continent!
“This…” Yu Huang felt shocked.” This thing is actually stealing the spiritual power of the continent! ”
Nodding his head, Mo Xiao said, “Yes, the center of the abyss rift is above us. It’s where Anna fell and where I climbed out from.”
Hearing this, Yu Huang subconsciously said, “But I remember that when Anna fell into the abyss, the abyss hadn’t started secretly devouring the spiritual power of the continent. On the contrary, at that time, it was releasing a certain amount of spiritual power every morning. Why would it start secretly devouring spiritual power?”
“It’s a smokescreen.” Mo Xiao sneered and said, “It released its spiritual power to gain our good impression first and make us lower our guard against it. Then, it implemented its plan when we were off guard. This abyss rift is really sinister.”
Yu Huang suppressed the shock in her heart and asked in a nervous voice, “Godfather, when did you discover the changes here?”
He said, “The reason Xiao Shu agreed to move out of the abyss and interact with humans was that he discovered that the spiritual power in the primitive forest was quickly disappearing.” After a pause, Mo Xiao added, “Long before Holy Spirit Goldfeather completely died, the thing in the abyss already began to absorb spiritual power.”
“The abyss rift has existed for many years, and it’s as unfathomable as the Central Pagoda. For ten thousand years, it has been releasing spiritual power outwards. Its sudden decision to secretly devour spiritual power must mean that its conspiracy is about to be realized. It’s accumulating strength and making the last preparations.”
Yu Huang asked Mo Xiao, “Godfather, what do you think is hidden in this abyss?”
Mo Xiao asked Yu Huang, “Why do you think the Divine Masters died one after another?”
For a moment, Yu Huang didn’t dare to answer rashly.
Because every word she wanted to say was blasphemous and brazen.
