Chapter 316: Into the Abyss, Slashing Down the Roads Ahead (Part 2)
“Of course there is!” Riyue Changfang held up the teacup, as his facial emotion was submerged in reminiscent, “I once met a person who was extremely elegant and amazingly talented. Unfortunately, in order to find or wait for her brother’s reincarnation, she didn’t want to care about any other things at all. I wanted to take her away from that broken world, but unfortunately wasn’t able to do so. ”
“What’s her name?” Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat as it was inexplicably familiar.
“In that world, her name is Emperor Fei Xian!”
“Fei Xian? Such a weird name!” Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
The two continued to sip on the immortal tea and chatted about some other interesting things.
“Have you really not thought of leaving a descendant? Once you sanctify your way of Dao and become a Saint, I’m afraid it will be really difficult to leave an heir by then!”
“It’s still possible at the Saint Realm, but would just be really difficult! Moreover, as we’ve reached such a realm, we tend to always put ourselves first. When we have all the abilities within our grasp, and we even can cover the sky with a snap of our fingers, what would we want descendants for! Descendants are something that we yearn for only when the road ahead is cut off. As so, leaving a descendant to inherit our own way of Dao in hope that they would exceed themselves in life. For the mortal worlds, a hundred years would’ve passed hurriedly and there would be a need for descendants to continue the legacy. But do we need it? There’s no need at all! Descendants would be nothing but a drag. Taking the Northern Emperor Kunpeng as an example. He got himself a son and what was the result? He was brought to death because of it. ”
Jiang Ming was speechless upon hearing his explanation.
“Having yet to fully comprehend the great way of Dao, you want to get yourself a son and cause more worries for yourself? Wouldn’t it be a pain in the ass?” Riyue Changfeng said again, “Brother Jiang, could it be that you have such a plan? Then you must be mentally prepared! Before birth, you must think about preparing a supreme foundation for him. After birth, you have to take great care of him for fear of any accidents. Then, there is growth, teaching and cultivation. As for all of these, it would just consume some time and effort. But what about once they become an adult? There would be a rebellious phase where they go against you every time. Truth be told, these are actually harmless. Brother Jiang, you should know what we should be afraid of most! ”
“What should we be most afraid of?” Jiang Ming asked in confusion.
“The thing we would be most afraid of is our son provoking some existence that we would not be able to deal with. Take Kunpeng for example, his son provoked you and as a result, both the father and son died in your hands. Don’t you think Kunpeng is wrong? Being brought to death because of his own son. Who could he have asked for reasoning?”
“If everyone thinks like you, wouldn’t the continuation of life be cut off?”
“This is only for the cultivator! Cultivators comprehend the way of great Daos and enjoy the pleasure of peeping at the supreme and wonderful truth of life. Wouldn’t this be enough? Only the mortals would get married, have children, and continue their bloodline.”
“What about you? Did you come out of the mortal world?”
“Certainly!”
“Your grandfather has a son, your father has a son. Do you have a son?”
“I can live forever. As long as I am around, the bloodline of my Riyue family will always be there and it will not be cut off. Therefore, why would I want a son!” Riyue Changfeng smiled strangely, “Brother Jiang, in such a way of life, I am at a perfect defense!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Then I won’t be holding back then!”
“I really don’t believe you can persuade me!”
“Your father’s grandfather has a grandson, your grandfather has a grandson. Does your father have a grandson?”
“Brother Jiang…” Riyue Changfeng was slightly startled. He couldn’t help grinding his teeth, and then took a sip of tea. He raised his head, looked at the vast clouds and his tone was a little solemn, “If I hadn’t come from the mortal world, this wouldn’t have swayed my mind at all. Alas, I’m from the mortal world! I still remember when my father sent me off to escape, he told me not to think about revenge, but to start a family and get more wives, to bear more children so that my Riyue family bloodline would continue on.”
As he said all these, he shook his head.
“To think that you still remember what happened after such a long time!”
“That is the warmth and the memory of the years that I miss the most. It is the imprint that enabled me to retain humanity all the time, the driving force for me to move forward.”
“Has your heart swayed?”
“No, when I grow to a certain level, I will try to see if I can reverse nature and resurrect them all!”
“Memories of the past, motivation to move forward!”
“Of course!”
The two raised a toast with tea for alcohol.
Jiang Ming stood up and said, “I’m going to go to the Abyss to have a look. Want to go?”
“The Abyss is chaotic and it’s hard to see through it even with my precious mirror.” Riyue Changfeng also stood up, “I’ll also go and take a look at how this realm’s Sage Venerates Dao Square looks like.”
“Let’s go then!”
Jiang Ming jumped off into the air and flew towards an Abyss gate.
“How is your clone’s combat power? Hopefully you won’t be destroyed in a snap of your fingers when you get targeted by Yu Fei. Your real self’s face would turn really sour from this!” Riyue Changfeng said with a smile.
“It’s enough to take a look at the whole commotion!” Jiang Ming said, “That Yu Fei! I really don’t know if her mind is full of water!”
“Haha! It might be almost there! Even I can’t imagine that a demon like her can cultivate up to the realm of Quasi-Sage. She has even gone a long distance as well!”
“Who would have thought of it? Perhaps, she is lustful to the extreme, taking desire as her Dao and the carrier of desire. This is the only way that her path has gone on so smoothly!”
“That makes sense! I even had a theory that if she sleeps with up to 3,000 people from every race in this world, will this allow her to sanctify the way of Dao?”
“Haha, Brother Riyue, you can talk to her about this idea of yours. Maybe she’d thank you by directly recommending herself to you!”
“Hey, I don’t want to be polluted!”
“The word ‘polluted’ is wonderfully used! Brother Riyue, aren’t you afraid of being targeted when you go forth with your true form without taking the auction palace with you?”
“I on the other hand hope to be targeted, so that I can move about a little!”
As the two chatted, they arrived at the gate of Abyss.
There were no longer any demons gushing out from it.
This cross-dimensional gateway had not been destroyed and was perched here all alone.
The two of them didn’t care whether there was an ambush on the other side and went straight in.
As the two reappeared, they were already in the abyss.
The earth was desolated, while the sky was gray and gloomy. The whole world gave people a feeling of extreme depression.
Beneath their foot was an altar and above it was a portal, which was the cross-dimensional gateway. The altar was still running. However, there were no longer any demons around.
No, there were a few left, a few demon corpses.
Grieving howls could be heard from afar as the demonic flames shot through the skies.
“This is just too miserable!” Jiang Ming looked into the distance and probed a little, but couldn’t help grinning, “It’s all the fault of the Great Demon Venerate! If he wanted to sanctify the way of Dao, he could have just comprehended the Dao of Enlightenment or head towards the Chaos to explore. Why would he need to take a bet on this? As a result, he lost the bet and the origin of the abyss was attenuated, their fortune plummeted and are now under the backlash of the Dao. All the creatures in the Abyss are now condemned with bad luck!”
He saw a demon cultivating on the mountain in the distance. Suddenly the demon’s body was ignited in flame and directly burned into ashes.
There was another one who was flying, but was hit by another expert who suddenly appeared next to him. As a result, the two evoked their abilities at the same time subconsciously and the both of them ended up dead.
As he glanced through the place, these abyss demons were dying in extremely strange ways.
Most of them had their mana collapsing, or that their cultivation method went wrong and blew themselves up, crippling themselves.
“This is the consequence of defying the heavens!” Riyue Changfeng said, “If you induce great damage to the world before your transcendence, this would be your result. Alas, the Great Demon Venerate. Even if he is able to enter the secret realm of the Saint Lord, he won’t live long. Being targeted by heaven and earth as well as by all beings, how can he live for long?”
As the two of them chatted, they had already found the passage to the next layer and continued to shuttle away.
Through every layer abyss, similar tragedies were unfolding themselves.
If this went on, the abyss would be destroyed, leaving no survivors even without the invasion from the many forces from the Heavenly Realm.
But how could the billions of forces in the Heavenly Realm let go of such a good opportunity?
They absolutely won’t! It’s just that they were yet to react to such a phenomenon. Once the Heavenly Realm made their move, the Abyss would be completely over.
As the two of them moved forward, there were also many demons desperately throwing themselves on them, trying to slaughter the two, but were all killed by Riyue Changfeng with ease.
The further they entered, the greater the pressure became.
There were also waves and waves of auras that weren’t supposed to appear in the depth emerging, as all of them were rushing towards the same place.
Not long after, they reached the bottom of the Abyss.
It was an extremely vast area.
Some areas had flowing magma that formed a sea. In the sea were demons such as fire demons, balrogs and so on. Meanwhile, some areas were shrouded in fog, where lots of fog demons could be seen inside.
The abyss was vast, breeding countless miracles.
But now, it was permeated with a dense aura of death.
In the northwest corner, there was a large amount of immortal luminance shining, illuminating half of the sky. There were also auras that were trying to crush the void permeating through the universe.
“Those who should come have all arrived!” Jiang Ming looked over with a smile on his face.
“Yeah, they’re all here!” Riyue Changfeng also said the same thing, “Fortunately, we’re not too late to watch this big show!”
Over in that direction was the entrance to the small chiliocosm of the Saint Demon Lord. It was now forced out by many powerful experts. Of course, this was also the credits of Yu Fei.
“Let’s go!”
The two didn’t stop as they crossed through the void.
However, before the two could go near, a sword light could be seen heading towards them from the void, directly slashing at Jiang Ming.
“A special ability of the Sword Dao that contains the power of Karma. Is this trying to slash through my primal soul?”
Jiang Ming squinted his eyes as his murderous intent grew.
