Xunwu continued to follow behind Jiang Wuyuan, and this time, Jun Ruyu was also with him.
Jiang Wuyuan sighed inwardly.
Now he couldn't even pretend he didn't see it.
So he decided to have a serious talk with the two of them.
"Why are you two following me?" Jiang Wuyuan asked directly.
His expression held a hint of wariness, but more so, a look of inquiry.
These two are definitely connected to the secret realm.
Xunwu said it wasn't the right time yet: "You'll know later, but not now."
These words confirmed Jiang Wuyuan's suspicions.
"We won't harm you; on the contrary, we're quite formidable fighters." Jun Ruyu toyed with the folding fan in her hand. "Isn't that a good thing?"
Jiang Wuyuan wanted to say he didn't need it, but in the end he swallowed those words.
Everything else can wait, but he wanted to know about the Abyss.
"Excuse me, where is the Abyss?"
Xunwu was taken aback by his question and paused for a moment before quickly realizing what he meant: "Why do you want to find the Abyss?"
Considering this person was probably his senior, Jiang Wuyuan didn't offer any advice like "It's none of your business," but instead replied earnestly, "I want to know."
"Ordinary people come here for treasures, but you are different." Although she said that, Xunwu was still very pleased.
Jun Ruyu also glanced at the boy: "Perfect, saves you from running around everywhere."
Because the abyss lies right beside the Heavenly Pool.
............
The Abyss aliens had long been lurking on this continent, but because the world barrier was difficult to break through, they had been secretly accumulating power for a long time.
As asexually reproducing organisms, the interspecies reproduce very rapidly.
Xunwu told Jiang Wuyuan that the abyss rift had existed for a long time, but few people had ever gone inside to explore it.
Because the dark power below is extremely powerful, it can instantly make people lose their minds and turn them into monsters who only know how to kill.
It's not that no strong individuals have gone down there, but in the end, nothing came of it.
Why? Because they, too, cannot break down the barriers of the world.
The two races met and lived in peace for many years, separated by the world's barrier.
What exactly is the alien race's purpose?
“Seize the power of the Heavenly Dao for your own use,” Xunwu explained. “In the universe, there are many worlds like the continents we live on.”
The alien races, on the other hand, have no place to live from birth, for they are born from cosmic dust and survive by seizing the power of other worlds.
Jiang Wuyuan understood: "An irreconcilable war."
“That’s how it is,” Xunwu smiled. “It’s just that we’re on different sides.”
They are fighting for survival, but aren't we the same? Without the Way of Heaven, our continent would be like losing its most powerful protection, becoming nourishment for other worlds.
Therefore, we must protect Him.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded.
This is the world he was born into.
He possesses everything he wants to protect.
——
It was the fifteenth day after Jiang Wuyuan emerged from seclusion.
In the boundless night, the bright moon seemed to be eroded, its light gradually dimming.
A violent tremor came from beneath the seemingly endless fissure.
Then, as if something had been punctured—the abyss awakened.
That night, whether cultivators or mortals, everyone seemed to sense something and awoke from their cultivation or sleep, gazing up at the pitch-black night sky.
Thick black mist surged out from the cracks, spreading in all directions.
Without any stagnation, it seems inexhaustible.
boom--
With a deep, resounding boom, the entire continent trembled.
If someone were standing right next to the abyss at that moment, they would witness a truly terrifying scene.
Countless bizarre creatures crawled out of the cracks.
Their faces were ferocious, their bodies deformed, and they lay twisted on the ground, emitting chilling roars.
One group after another, carrying boundless dark power, rushed in all directions.
At that moment, Jiang Wuyuan, who was fortunate enough to witness all of this, stood directly above the abyss.
Of course, he wasn't alone; Xunwu was with him as well.
With the protection of this half-emperor, the alien races did not detect any of his presence, which is why he was able to witness the entire process of the abyss's awakening.
"We should go," Xunwu said softly after a moment.
Those who came out first were just small fry, nothing to be afraid of.
However, the beings that emerged afterward were also quite troublesome for him.
Although not a true alien race, even as a projection, it was enough to contend with Xunwu's current wisp of remnant soul.
Unless he uses the power of the creator of the secret realm.
Jiang Wuyuan's gaze was deep, his pupils seemingly reflecting boundless darkness.
However, upon closer inspection, one can discover a ray of golden light hidden within, which is exceptionally dazzling.
He did not respond to Xunwu's words immediately, but instead gazed intently at the bottom of the abyss.
There was no light there, and he couldn't see anything.
But Jiang Wuyuan continued to gaze intently.
A voice inside him told him that if he just looked one more time—
Buzz—!
At that moment, it opened its eyes.
............
Xunwu took Jiang Wuyuan away.
Flying in the air, Xunwu asked, "What do we do next?"
Jiang Wuyuan thought for a moment.
Killing alien races is meaningless, because they are just projections. If they were real alien races, he would naturally have no choice but to do so.
"Continue your cultivation," Jiang Wuyuan replied.
“I’m glad you weren’t blinded by hatred.” Xunwu smiled. “A very rational choice.”
Since that's the case, I'll also give you one of my collections.
Consider this an apology for following you all this way.
Jiang Wuyuan did not refuse: "Thank you, senior."
Now he can finally openly call someone "senior".
Xunwu smiled and took out a high-grade Heaven-rank sword technique and placed it in his hand: "High-grade Heaven-rank, Morning Glory Shattering Moon Slash."
Jiang Wuyuan accepted it with both hands and thanked him.
...........
The Hundred Battles Return to the Secret Realm is like a history book, laying out the true history before Jiang Wuyuan's eyes.
He saw the Heavenly Pool shrouded and corroded by dark power, turning into a stagnant pool, and he saw the City of No Form swallowed up by black mist and alien races.
I saw many people, caught off guard, turned into mindless monsters by the power of darkness, forever sinking into darkness.
He was somewhat silent, and somewhat powerless.
Ultimately, he didn't belong to that era.
Since the past cannot be changed.
—Then let's change the future.
