"This is a long story..."
Guixu Daoist paused, seeming to gather his thoughts.
His illusory figure drifted slightly, as though he too were recalling that long-buried past.
"Child, did you know that beyond this Starry Sky, there are other worlds?"
Lu Qing's heart stirred. He nodded. "This disciple knows. The Dark Demon Abyss is said to connect to another world."
A flicker of surprise passed through Guixu Daoist's eyes. "Oh? You know of the Dark Demon Abyss? It seems you have been there?"
Lu Qing nodded. "Not long ago, this disciple sent a Divine Sense Clone into the Dark Demon Abyss and saw Great Expert Xuanhua's corpse."
"Xuanhua..." Upon hearing that name, Guixu Daoist fell silent for a while before saying, "I never expected that not only had you entered the Dark Demon Abyss, but you had gone so deep. When I entered that place back then, I too had to tread as if on thin ice."
Lu Qing nodded and briefly recounted what he had seen in the Dark Demon Abyss.
He began with his encounter with Qiu Ruofeng, then spoke of entering the abyss, encountering those Demonic Fire Monsters, and finally entering that Black Great Tomb, where he saw Xuanhua's corpse seated upon the White Jade Throne.
He did not go into excessive detail, merely describing the general course of events, including the vast numbers and great strength of the Demonic Fire Monsters, as well as the strange sight of Xuanhua's corpse being half light and half darkness.
Guixu Daoist listened throughout without interrupting Lu Qing.
Yet when he heard Lu Qing say that the Darkness Power within the Dark Demon Abyss was weakening, his illusory body trembled faintly.
Even after Lu Qing finished, he remained silent for a long while.
The great hall fell into silence.
