RPAGF Chapter 177 Abyss Sacrifice
Chapter 177 Abyss Sacrifice
The days without the female lead always felt so pale and rushed, like a brief respite when turning the pages of a book.
However, the matter mentioned by Lü Yuanbai today only appeared briefly in the text, and what impressed Liu Jun most was the content it contained.
Since its founding, Xuanshan Sect has maintained a tradition of holding an event called "Abyss Sacrifice" every hundred years.
As for the reason, Liu Jun didn't quite remember. It seemed that she needed to collect a bunch of special "materials" to take to the forbidden area of Xuanshan Sect, Luoshen Abyss, to feed something, but she couldn't quite recall what it was.
When Liu Jun first read the story, she thought it was some kind of foreshadowing, which is why she remembered it so clearly. She never expected that it would never be mentioned again in the end...
Hmm, that doesn't seem right either. Liu Jun remembers that after Wei Qiushuang's wicked deeds were exposed, her torture and the crippling of her cultivation were also carried out in the Fallen God Abyss.
According to the elders, those who commit crimes and are punished must be executed in the Abyss of Fallen Gods.
She only got a mention because of the former female lead, and then she never appeared again.
Perhaps it's because executing too many people inevitably breeds resentment and evil spirits, which is why the sect holds regular events to drive away these evil spirits. But in previous years, there was no need to ask for permission, so why did they have to come to Liu Jun this time?
"You can decide for yourselves; why bother asking me?"
“In the past, there was no need for the ancestor to intervene. We, the people in charge, had been making preparations for the past few days. However, yesterday, when I went to the Fallen God Abyss with Elder Changfeng to make arrangements in advance, I discovered that the evil aura there had become increasingly stronger over the past hundred years of neglect.”
“I also called a few elders to help suppress it, but the evil aura was much stronger than in previous years. The ‘Black Widow’ we prepared was not enough to cover the entire Fallen God Abyss, which is why we came to disturb the Ancestor.”
No wonder Lü Yuanbai looked so anxious. The leakage of murderous aura is no small matter; if it were to happen, all the disciples of the Xuanshan Sect would suffer.
Inhaling excessive amounts of malevolent energy can not only drive people mad and cause them to kill each other, but it is also possible to die on the spot. The only substance that can suppress the growth of malevolent energy is the black weasel, which is a cloud-like substance produced by the breathing of the black weasel.
Although the Shuoshuo Weasel is a low-level demon beast, it is extremely fast and only the size of a quail egg, making it very difficult to catch. Moreover, the number of black widows produced by a Shuoshuo Weasel each year is only the size of a palm.
The lifespan of the Shuo Shuo Weasel is only ten years at most, and the restrictive magic array above the Fallen God Abyss needs to be maintained once every hundred years.
The production of Wushuang was insufficient to dispel so much evil energy, so the evil energy in Luoshen Abyss could only accumulate more and more, and now it was almost impossible to contain it. So who else could they turn to but her, the ancestor who had been out of seclusion for a long time?
After thinking for a while, Liu Jun replied, "How many days are left until the sacrificial ceremony?"
"It will be in ten days."
"I will go and check on the situation in Fallen God Abyss. The evil energy is difficult to remove, and I am not very confident that I can completely eliminate it."
Lu Yuanbai immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "It would be good if the Ancestor could go in person. The evil aura of the Fallen God Abyss has been accumulating for a long time, and I do not expect the Ancestor to be able to completely eliminate it."
"We juniors are of little strength, and can only eliminate a small area, which is why we have troubled you, Ancestor, to set out. We are truly ashamed..."
The black crow is the only thing that can suppress the growth of evil energy, but there are other ways to resolve and remove evil energy that has already been generated, although the process is particularly difficult.
Even someone like Lü Yuanbai, who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, finds it extremely difficult to deal with malevolent energy. Liu Jun had dealt with malevolent energy once before, but that was only because he knew its source. The situation in the Fallen God Abyss is quite different.
The Xuanshan Sect has existed in the Luoshen Abyss for as long as it was founded. Not to mention the sheer number of people executed there, each of them was a person of considerable cultivation who harbored resentment.
Compared to the Fallen God Abyss, the Grandmaster Hall is nothing, and it still holds some sinners who will never leave, whose resentment and malevolent energy are equally strong.
Having received Liu Jun's approval, Lü Yuanbai felt a little relieved and left Qiwu Peak to tell the elders about the matter. The suspended sacrificial activities were then resumed.
“Jiuwen, I need to leave the peak for a few days. Your senior brother Zhu is not often on the peak, so please take good care of everything here.”
Liu Jun had a premonition that the trip to Luo Shen Yuan would not be an easy one, and she couldn't say for sure how long it would take.
"Is the Ancestor going on another journey?"
"No, I'm just going to deal with a bit of a tricky situation."
Although Chu Jiuwen was reluctant to part with him, he couldn't ask too many questions about the patriarch's actions, which he suspected was related to the sect leader's previous visit.
"Yes, I will take good care of everything on the mountain."
Seeing Chu Jiuwen's obedient appearance, Liu Jun smiled and reached out to touch his head. She never expected that the boy who was half a child back then had grown taller than her and had matured a lot.
She hadn't noticed it during the years they spent together, but now she felt it all too clearly, and a strange sadness welled up inside her. She changed her outstretched hand to a pat on the shoulder, while Chu Jiuwen lowered his head first to let her pat him gently. In the end, her outstretched hand landed on the top of his head.
"...Alas, you should go and cultivate diligently. I'm off."
However, in the instant he looked up, the person in front of him had vanished. Chu Jiuwen was stunned for a moment before returning to his residence with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"Young man, I advise you not to have any such thoughts. Just focus on your cultivation. That girl... her strength is unfathomable. You can't possibly reach her level. Don't even think about it."
"..."
"I know."
……
Fallen God Abyss is a forbidden area. Entry is prohibited without permission, and violators will be severely punished!
As soon as he approached the territory of Fallen God Abyss, he saw a line of large characters appear in the air, with a powerful pressure hidden between the lines. However, it was nothing to Liu Jun. With just a slight movement of his hand, he entered the restriction.
There are a total of three layers of magic arrays and two layers of restrictions inside and outside the Fallen God Abyss, and this is only the outermost layer.
Once inside the first layer of the restriction, one can no longer travel freely, and even Liu Jun is no exception.
After walking for about 15 minutes, you will reach the second layer of the magic array. After walking a little further, you will see the remaining three layers. These three layers are where the resentment and evil energy below the Fallen God Abyss are suppressed. Only by passing through them can you truly enter the main territory of the Fallen God Abyss.
From the outside, the interior appears no different from the outside, but once you actually pass through those three layers, the Fallen God Abyss you see is a place where the sun and moon are obscured, desolate and filled with miasma.
The air was perpetually thick with damp fog, and the air was thick with death and an indescribable, nauseating smell. As far as the eye could see, there were only barren hilltops and withered forests, and corpses were scattered everywhere, making it impossible to tell whether they were animal or human.
It's a complete dead end. No one has ever been able to leave here. Once you're in, you can see the end of your life from the beginning.
"Oh, a newcomer? And a beautiful woman at that, hahaha!"
"What a pity, even a beautiful woman like her wouldn't survive tonight here!"
"So beautiful, the meat must taste delicious! Hehehehehe! Tear it apart, tear it apart! Meat, it's meat!!!"
"Leave me a bite, fresh meat! Eat! Food, food!!!"
Several ethereal voices clashed, but there was not a hint of teasing in their tones. Instead, each voice was filled with venom and ruthlessness, as if the newcomer was a starving corpse eyeing meat. They argued about how to divide the new woman among themselves, but they overlooked the fact that the newcomer showed no signs of being punished and that even her clothes were spotless.
Perhaps they were so hungry that they couldn't notice anything, or perhaps they simply didn't want to notice anything; they were just driven by an unknown force to pounce on the man like starving wolves.
Liu Jun didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. With a wave of his hand, the inhuman and ghostly creatures that were about to pounce on him spontaneously combusted and burned to ashes within seconds.
"If anyone gets close, kill them."
Those who were still arguing, and those who were plotting against each other, all fell silent in an instant. After all, they were people who had been banished from outside, and the skill that woman displayed made them seem like people who had been punished and brought in.
Moreover, they didn't even sense any fluctuations in spiritual energy before those few were gone, which shows how powerful they were. No matter how hungry they were, they didn't dare to go forward and risk their lives, since everyone who had survived this long valued their lives.
The situation in Luoshenyuan was much more serious than Liu Jun had anticipated.
The malevolent energy and resentment were almost tangible, reaching a point where they were visible to the naked eye, and constantly disturbing the consciousness and mind of the person who came.
Those who were punished were originally cultivators with considerable cultivation, but they turned into monsters who killed each other not long after entering this place. This was due to the corruption of the evil energy. Those cultivators who could still retain their rationality as humans were just stubbornly enduring it.
Or perhaps... it was because by consuming the bodies of weaker cultivators and absorbing the remaining spiritual energy within those bodies that it was able to maintain that last vestige of its sanity.
