Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 1716: 435: The Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons

The Myriad Demon Abyss is located a million miles east of the Jin Kingdom, in a desolate forbidden zone, with barren Spirit Veins and sparse population.

Except for some cultivators driven to desperation, few come here.

After all, even for archeological exploration and opportunities, one must choose the right place, not a certain death.

On this day, in the high sky, a heroic man riding a Golden Peng Bird and a delicate and lovely young girl arrived outside the Myriad Demon Abyss.

Though called an abyss, the Myriad Demon Abyss before them was like a desolate and silent wasteland.

”Is this the Myriad Demon Abyss?”

Lu Changsheng scrutinized the scene ahead, a gray, ghostly place, with the remains of broken walls, where the sun barely reached, like a secluded small world apart from reality.

”Daoist Yangming, this is the Myriad Demon Abyss. The spiritual energy inside is scarce, and even the Spirit Veins are polluted and demonized, so it’s best for you to recover your state first.”

The Five Poisons Cult Leader looked at Lu Changsheng and reminded him kindly.

”Thank you for the reminder, Cult Leader.”
Lu Changsheng squinted slightly and tossed a bottle of Feeding Spirit Pills to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng from his Storage Ring.

While on this journey, he hadn’t expended much energy.

After the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng adjusted its breath for several days, it transformed into a small size of several feet, perched on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, bright-eyed, surveying all around, and entered the Myriad Demon Abyss with the Five Poisons Cult Leader.

Just upon entering the periphery, they were enveloped in black mist and low-hanging dark clouds, imparting a stifling feeling.

In the air, gusts of Yin Wind transformed into fleeting faces, resembling capricious ghosts wafting through the sky, like the wailing and howling of spirits.

Lu Changsheng looked up at the Heavenly Dome;the murky sunlight, though emitting a glow, didn’t bring light and warmth but rather darkness and gloom, casting a shadow over this realm.

”Ga ga ga—”

As the two entered, the dead silence of the Myriad Demon Abyss was occasionally broken by low roars of demon beasts, and the screeching of strange black-feathered birds flapping their wings, making one’s scalp crawl.

Nevertheless, with one being a top-level Core Formation cultivator and the other a Nascent Soul True Lord, all evils retreated wherever they went, and all kinds of demon beasts and Yin souls turned to dust.

”According to the sect records, our sect’s Supreme Treasure is likely in these three places, so this is where we should focus our search...”

The Five Poisons Cult Leader treaded the void on bare red and white feet, with a Five-Colored Banner taller than her fluttering by her side, obliterating any danger that approached with dim ghostly light.

”You may proceed as you see fit, Cult Leader.”

Lu Changsheng calmly replied, indicating for the Five Poisons Cult Leader to go ahead.

Though it seemed that she was genuinely earnest in seeking treasure on this trip, he remained on guard without the slightest relaxation.

He operated his Taiyi Divine Soul and Origin Spirit Divine Perception to their limits and signaled the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Peach Blossom Gu to stay alert.

At the hint of any danger or presence of Gu Insects, they would immediately warn him.

Thus, the two ventured deeper and deeper, encountering numerous demon beasts or rather, demonized fierce beasts.

Such demonized beasts, even if they grew to the Second or Third Rank, lacked much spiritual intelligence and would charge at any living being with howls and roars.

After slaying these fierce beasts, Lu Changsheng observed that their flesh and Crystal Cores were also tainted.

Yet, a small amount used to feed the Spiritual Beasts shouldn’t pose a problem.

”These demonized beasts, despite lacking intelligence, possess a vitality far more tenacious and troublesome than ordinary demon beasts.”

Lu Changsheng gained a deeper understanding of these demonized fierce beasts.

While hunting them could yield various Crystal Cores and Demon Core materials, these materials were less valuable compared to those from ordinary demon beasts. Additionally, the spiritual energy of the Myriad Demon Abyss’s environment was so poor, suffused with Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and Turbid Energy, that even Core Formation cultivators couldn’t survive for long.

Over time, one’s Mana Soul would be affected by such Qi mechanisms.

Luckily, Lu Changsheng possessed a Quasi-Fourth Rank Physique, and the Chaos Body merged with the Kunpeng Demon Body effect, granting high resistance to Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, Turbid Energy, and various poisons and plagues, leaving him unaffected.

Throughout this time, Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Divine Soul acutely sensed that the Five Poisons Cult Leader was intermittently observing his condition.

In response, Lu Changsheng slightly toned down his demeanor, showing a faade of being at ease rather than relaxed.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

Unknowingly, they had been exploring the Myriad Demon Abyss for half a month.

Initially, they dared to traverse the sky swiftly, but as they delved deeper, the dangers increased, with zones of Forbidden Space and even Forbidden Techniques appearing, prompting caution and vigilance from both of them.

”Gwah!”

Then, as they passed by a swamp, a deafening frog croak resounded.

A gigantic toad, akin to a small mountain, appeared from the mud, opening its massive mouth like a terrifying abyss, ready to swallow them.

This was a Fourth Rank demonized fierce beast, immensely terrifying. Even Lu Changsheng and the Five Poisons Cult Leader opted to avoid its sharp edges and take an alternative route.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t fight.

A Fourth Rank demonized fierce beast like this, without intelligence, was even dumber than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King once influenced by Meng Wuheng and his wife.

Given Lu Changsheng and the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s prowess, they could naturally slay it if they fully unleashed their power.

But it wasn’t necessary.

Killing this demon toad would deplete their resources significantly and potentially injure them, jeopardizing their continued exploration.

Besides, neither wished to expend Great Magical Power on this beast.

After much time, the two, along with the peng, arrived at one of their destinations, the Myriad Demon City.

The ancient city was majestic yet long turned into ruins, with broken walls and dust-covered remnants, a scene of stark desolation.

”Whooooo—”

The wailing Yin Wind and Ghost Fog whistled through the ruins, making the dim, mottled city before them resemble a grave.

”Ancient Battlefield, righteous and demonic battlefield...”

Lu Changsheng could hardly imagine what caliber of battle erupted here in bygone years to leave this realm in such a state.
