The Sea Abyss was said to be an area of the ocean that could never be reached.
All demonic sea creatures over 100 million years old lived here. Not only were they powerful, but they also relied on the advantage of the Sea Abyss to escape even if they couldn't defeat them, making them extremely hard to deal with.
Gu Qing Shan held a glowing triangular piece of metal in his hand as he dived deeper and deeper into the Sea Abyss.
Ever since he entered the Sea Abyss, this triangular piece of metal seemed to have formed an inexplicable connection with a certain place.
It was like a beacon, but also like a sensor that could transmit a certain location to Gu Qing Shan's inner sight.
Following the direction of the triangular piece of metal, Gu Qing Shan swam all the way to a certain silent part of the ocean.
When Gu Qing Shan reached a certain location, the triangular piece of metal no longer responded.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan his surroundings, but couldn't find anything.
However, his spiritual sense seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and lightly touched something in front of him.
There was only seawater in front of him, but he felt something cold and hard protrusion.
It was a rock.
Gu Qing Shan grabbed the rock and continued to feel around.
He quickly found the outline of a door.
It was a closed stone door.
Gu Qing Shan pushed it.
The stone door didn't budge.
The sword didn't leave a single mark on the stone door.
The frost didn't do anything either.
Without any other choice, Gu Qing Shan continued to search.
After a while, he found a socket on the stone door.
— — -apparently used to insert a key.
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan inserted the triangular Key of the Sealing into it.
A heavy noise.
The door finally opened.
The triangular key was spat out by the door and fell back into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan entered the stone door.
Bam!
As soon as he entered, the stone door slammed shut behind him.
Gu Qing Shan glanced back, put the Key of the Sealing away, and continued to swim forward.
After a few dozen breaths' worth of time, a flight of stairs appeared in front of him.
The steps were buried under the water and went all the way up.
Gu Qing Shan swam up the stairs and finally emerged from the water.
On the surface of the water, the straight steps continued to extend upwards.
On both sides of the stairs were ancient mottled walls. When Gu Qing Shan emerged from the water, the torches on the walls along the way were all lit up.
The fire illuminated the path ahead, but the places that were not illuminated were still dark.
Gu Qing Shan held the Frost staff in her left hand and the Chao Yin sword in her right, continuing to walk down the stairs.
After a while.
The road up began to smooth out.
Gu Qing Shan found himself in a tunnel with no end in sight.
However, it wasn't exactly accurate to call it a tunnel.
Because the floor was covered with a red carpet.
Gu Qing Shan took a closer look and found that the carpet seemed to be a product of magic. Every time a dust fell on it, it would be cleaned up immediately.
Even though so many years had passed and the entire passageway was extremely old, the color of the carpet was still as bright as new.
This feeling was very strange, as if time had staggered.
As soon as he entered this place, he couldn't use his inner sight either.
There was a strange and powerful force that restricted his inner sight to a radius of a few meters around him, making it impossible for him to release it.
Gu Qing Shan could only use his eyes to observe his surroundings.
He began to walk towards the end of the tunnel.
A few minutes later.
There was still no end to the path.
Fortunately, there were a few things that appeared on both sides of the path that made Gu Qing Shan more spirited.
At first, there were only a few strangely shaped bones.
Then, a series of damaged tables and chairs, broken copper and iron, and broken boots appeared one after another.
All of these items were extremely old.
But because the material they were made from was quite sturdy, these items still maintained their original shapes.
It was obvious that countless years ago, humans had once lived here.
— – could it be that this tunnel was created by humans?
To defend against the monsters of the Eternal Abyss, humanity built the Grand Tie Wei city wall.
But why did they build a secret tunnel that connects to the Eternal Abyss?
Gu Qing Shan looked around and continued to move forward.
A few hours later.
There was still no end to the tunnel.
If Gu Qing Shan was running at full speed, he might have traveled an even longer distance already.
But he kept reminding himself.
— — -this is the tunnel to the Eternal Abyss, and I can't even release my inner sight.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but slow down.
He patiently walked forward, occasionally stopping on both sides of the path to look at the things that were left behind from over 100 million years ago.
Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust, as if no one had come here to check or touch them.
In other words, the Lord of Total Distortion didn't care about these things at all.
He brought the black finger with him, so he must have gone to find that monster.
If the Lord of Total Distortion achieved his goal and wanted to return to the Primordial Wraith Realm, he would have to return through this tunnel again.
At that time, the two of them would definitely run into each other.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head, temporarily gave up on this thought, and continued to move forward.
There wasn't anything special in this part of the tunnel, the only thing that proved that humans once lived here.
From a logical point of view, it was still unknown what kind of entity created this tunnel.
If it was humans who created this tunnel to the Eternal Abyss, then the Grand Tie Wei city walls wouldn't make sense.
— — -you can't risk your life to fight against an enemy while silently letting them in.
Unless there was some sort of unspeakable secret.
In addition, there was another possibility: If the secret passage was not built by humans, then who built all of this?
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but mutter: "I really don't understand, why would a gate to the Eternal Abyss be created in the ocean?"
He looked at the triangular key in his hand.
The key didn't react at all.
Without any clues, he could only continue forward.
Gu Qing Shan began his long and arduous journey.
For several hours, he kept moving forward.
Sometimes, he would also stop to look at the trash on the side of the road, trying to find some clues.
At a certain point.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
In front of him, the tunnel was completely dark.
There were torches hanging on the walls along the way, but at this point, there were no more torches.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and took a torch from the wall, wanting to use it to illuminate the path ahead.
But as soon as he entered the dark tunnel, the torch suddenly went out.
Gu Qing Shan put the torch in front of himself to carefully check.
— — -there were no clues.
Gu Qing Shan didn't believe it, so he went back, took another burning torch, and entered the dark tunnel again.
This time, he moved forward for one minute.
The torch went out again.
Gu Qing Shan silently stood still for a while.
This wasn't a coincidence.
He crouched down, lightly placed the torch on the ground, stood up, and stood still.
The Chao Yin sword appeared in his hand.
A short pause.
Nothing happened.
That's strange …
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he suddenly felt a breeze brushing against his face.
The breeze abruptly turned into an intense gust of wind!
Gu Qing Shan stood still, then suddenly moved his body to the side and grabbed something in the wind.
He caught something in his hand, taking a closer look, only to find that it was a piece of white bone.
"This bone isn't right …"
He muttered.
With a chef's intuition and years of experience, this bone is very fresh, it hasn't been removed for too long.
Why would there be white bones flying here from the tunnel?
A few moments later.
The gust of wind disappeared. The tunnel became silent again.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a few moments, stepped back, took another burning torch, and entered the dark tunnel again.
He silently waited.
A few moments later.
A breeze came — — -
The torch went out in an instant.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
This breeze seemed to have some sort of magical power that could instantly extinguish the torch.
While he was thinking, the wind became stronger and stronger, turning into a gust of wind again.
A few more pieces of white bone came flying from the wind.
Gu Qing Shan randomly picked one up.
— — -it was half a skull, the shape was ferocious, and didn't look human at all.
He suddenly realized something.
After the gust of wind calmed down, he quickly moved forward.
Sure enough, a few thousand meters away, he found five sets of white bones.
These skeletons seemed to have gone through some sort of torture and pain when they were alive, all of them were twisting and struggling with their mouths wide open.
Gu Qing Shan walked around these skeletons and sensed the lingering evil and sinister power that still lingered within them.
He finally understood.
— — -these were the remains of evil creatures.
Not too long ago, a sacrificial ritual took place here.
Sacrificial rituals were a type of Mystic-type power, completely different from summoning techniques.
In summoning techniques, the summoner and the summoned reached an agreement through a contract.
But sacrificial rituals weren't.
They were a form of begging.
Low-level beings paid a heavy price to beg super-advanced beings from other dimensions to help them.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
This is only a dark tunnel, why would the Lord of Total Distortion sacrifice the lives and souls of five evil creatures?
The breeze picked up again.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger.
The wind here was even more violent than the wind a few thousand meters away.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
A sense of extreme danger welled up in his heart.
Out of instinct, he tilted his head.
At the very next moment, he found that his face was cut open by the wind.
Blood immediately flowed out.
How did this happen!?
I currently have the body of a Divine King, the power of a Paragon realm cultivator, and I'm wearing the Black Mist Armor with a helmet that completely covers my face.
But my face was cut by the wind!
Gu Qing Shan realized.
He abruptly retreated until he was quite a distance away from the skeletons.
The wind here was much weaker.
At this time, many more white bones flew past him.
"So that's why … even a Divine King couldn't handle it, let alone the Lord of Total Distortion"
"No wonder he wanted to sacrifice himself"
