The next morning, Gu Changge, Jiang Chuchu, the Golden Cicada Buddha, and the others stood on a mountain peak outside the Floating Buddhist Temple, looking at the abyss filled with demonic Qi.
The dark purple demonic Qi was vast and surging, covering the sky like dark clouds. It was like a world of darkness, without much light.
The Fiend Burial Abyss sounded like an abyss, but it was more like a door.
That terrifying giant mouth was like a huge wound that stretched across the world. Inside it, there was a terrifying aura that made people tremble. It was as if once one stepped into it, they would step into another world of eternal darkness.
At the mouth of the abyss, there were many horrifying corpses, some as big as mountains.
Some of them, even after death, were still dazzling with divine splendor, like small suns, releasing scorching divine splendor.
However, because they were contaminated by the demonic Qi, these corpses were covered with wounds and holes of various sizes.
There were many shocking formations near the Fiend Burial Abyss. Streaks of divine light burst out from them, turning into divine swords, heavenly sabers, halberds … They slashed into the abyss, preventing many creatures from rushing out.
In addition, there were many cultivators around the Fiend Burial Abyss.
Although they did not dare to get too close, they were still fighting with the Great Demons. Their Qi and blood were surging, and they were powerful.
They were not here to protect the peace of the world, but to obtain some materials that contained rich Dharmic power after killing those Great Demons.
For example, Demon Cores, skulls, hand bones, and other materials were often sold for high prices in the markets or stalls outside.
These Demon Cores could not only be used to refine Dharmic weapons, but also to set up formations. They were very rare and could only be found near the Fiend Burial Abyss.
Therefore, many bold cultivators often came here to take risks.
These cultivators noticed Gu Changge and the others at this moment and were shocked. They did not expect that there would be other people here besides them.
However, some of them quickly recognized Gu Changge and were even more shocked and confused.
With Gu Changge's noble status, why would he come to such a dangerous place?
"Young Master Changge, what is he doing here?"
"Is he planning to solve the problem in the Fiend Burial Abyss?"
"I can only say that as expected of Young Master Changge!"
When they thought of this possibility, many of their expressions changed. They became incomparably respectful and full of respect.
How many of the younger generation in the Upper Realm were willing to risk their lives to come to such a place?
His courage and sacrifice for the common people of the world were admirable.
If it weren't for the fact that they were forced to do so, they wouldn't even take half a step closer to this place. However, Gu Changge knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he still walked towards the tiger mountain.
"The entrance to the Demon Burial Abyss is right in front of us. There is a formation set up by the eminent monks of Buddha Mountain, which can prevent the demons from rushing out …"
"Brother Gu, follow me closely. Don't enter the formation by mistake."
The Golden Cicada Buddha said. After his conversation with the white-browed old monk last night, he had calmed down.
With that said, he led the people of Buddha Mountain and transformed into a divine rainbow, charging forward. Streaks of golden light flickered and rushed up from the mountain peaks on the ground.
Vast demonic qi surged in front of them, but it was blocked and dispersed by the faint Buddhist light emitted by the string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.
At the same time, an illusory image of a Buddha appeared behind him. It looked dignified and dazzling with golden light. With a roar of Buddha's anger, ripples like knives rushed forward and dispersed the demons in front of them. It was very powerful.
Gu Changge, Jiang Chuchu, and the others followed behind him. They were not very close. Since the Golden Cicada Buddha wanted to lead the way, Gu Changge saved himself some trouble.
He had a strange look in his eyes as he thought of the conversation he heard last night.
At that time, he was almost discovered by the white-browed old monk, which really surprised him. Fortunately, he left early and nothing unexpected happened.
The white-browed old monk's cultivation was at least at the Quasi-emperor level. He was an old monster who had lived for an unknown period of time.
Moreover, the divine power that he cultivated had a lot to do with perception. He could even see the mysterious changes in space.
However, what surprised Gu Changge the most was the Golden Cicada Buddha's identity.
He only knew that the Golden Cicada Buddha had a Buddhist heart and Buddhist bones, but he didn't know that he was the reincarnation of an eminent monk of Buddha Mountain.
"Buddhist robe?"
"It seems that it fell in the Demon Burial Abyss. That's why the Golden Cicada Buddha wants to take it back."
Gu Changge was very interested in the Buddhist robe.
If he guessed correctly, it should be a Buddhist treasure that was brought into the Demon Burial Abyss to suppress the Demon Qi.
However, for some reason, it fell in there.
Moreover, after arriving here, Gu Changge didn't feel any discomfort with the Demon Qi. Instead, he felt a strong sense of familiarity and nature. Even the runes of the Great Path appeared in his blood and kept disappearing, as if they were cheering.
It was as if this aura came from the same source as him.
He was very familiar with this feeling. It was like the memories that had been sealed were constantly recovering. Many fragments flashed, and there were many more things in his mind.
The clouds parted to see the blue sky.
"The Demon Qi here is very strong. Even Saint Realm cultivators have to be careful to avoid being corroded by the Demon Qi …"
A faint layer of celestial light appeared on the surface of Jiang Chuchu's body, resisting the Demon Qi here. She frowned and whispered to herself.
Gu Changge glanced at her and waved his sleeve. A terrifying vibration power spread out, dispelling the Demon Qi around her.
"Why don't you stay outside? With your cultivation, you'll only cause trouble if you go in." He frowned slightly.
Jiang Chuchu glanced at him and shook her head. "No, I want to go in with you. Don't worry about me. I have my own methods."
This matter had involved Gu Changge because of her. How could she stay outside and let Gu Changge go in alone?
Seeing her insistence, Gu Changge didn't say anything else.
After all, if something unexpected happened later, it would be the same to throw her into the Innerverse.
Golden Cicada Bodhisattva led the way, but the journey wasn't peaceful. Not only did they have to be careful of the formation runes, but they also had to kill the creatures infected by the Demon Qi and corroded their minds.
However, he had the strong cultivators of Buddha Mountain by his side. The weakest among them was a Saint with profound Buddhist skills. They were very good at dispelling the Demon Qi and kept him safe.
Just like that, they passed through hundreds of miles. Finally, they approached the abyss.
A suffocating and oppressive aura spread out. Everyone's expression turned solemn, and their souls trembled.
It was as if they were facing some great horror. They couldn't help but kneel down and worship the abyss.
The Demon Qi here had even reached the point of liquefaction. It gathered into a small lake on the ground.
There were runes flashing in the small lake. Some dark purple demonic stones were scattered around. They were extremely rare and precious, and they emitted the aura of Origin.
"Young Master, over there …"
Behind Gu Changge, a Supreme Saint pointed at a lotus in the distance. His eyes were filled with shock.
It was a dark purple lotus rooted in the small lake formed by the Demon Qi. Although the lake was less than 100 miles wide, it was fragrant and seemed to be made of immortal purple gold.
"What's that?"
Someone asked curiously. He walked over, but before he could get close, he was enveloped by the dark purple mist coming out of the small lake.
He didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a bloody mist. It was extremely terrifying. Many people's expressions turned cold. They couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"That's the Soul-destroying Lotus. Don't get close."
Golden Cicada Buddha frowned. Then he relaxed and explained to everyone, "This thing grows near the Demon Burial Abyss. It feeds on living creatures and Demon Qi. It looks beautiful, but it's very scary. You can't get close to it."
His words made everyone wary. They knew that the closer they got to the abyss, the more dangerous it was.
"Soul-destroying Lotus."
"It should be more than 10 million years old. It's already formed its own domain nearby."
Gu Changge was interested. He walked over.
Everyone's expression changed. The monks of Buddha Mountain frowned, but they didn't stop him. Golden Cicada Buddha had already advised Gu Changge. If he didn't listen, he would be the one to suffer.
However, the next moment, to everyone's surprise, as Gu Changge walked over, the Soul-destroying Lotus trembled slightly, as if it was afraid.
Then, the roots moved, and it walked out of the lake. The purple light under its feet rose into the air. It was very mysterious.
This scene made everyone's eyes widen. They were almost stunned. They couldn't believe it.
Even Jiang Chuchu was shocked. Then, he quickly recovered. He looked at Gu Changge and remembered his identity.
Was this Soul-destroying Lotus very spiritual? Was it afraid of him?
At this moment, everyone could see that it had split its roots into the shape of feet and walked to Gu Changge's feet.
Gu Changge didn't care about everyone's expressions. He directly grabbed the Soul-destroying Lotus and threw it into his Sumeru Ring.
This thing was spiritual. It knew that it couldn't escape from his hands, so it might as well submit.
"What's the use of the Soul-destroying Lotus?"
Jiang Chuchu was curious. As far as he knew, the Soul-destroying Lotus didn't have any effect on medicine other than being dangerous.
Gu Changge smiled and said, "I'll keep it. After all, a ten-million-year-old Soul-destroying Lotus is very rare. Maybe it won't be long before it can transform."
Because of the special nature of the Soul-destroying Lotus, if it transformed, it would have the ability to subdue the Primordial Spirit.
Even if it couldn't transform, he could still refine his Primordial Spirit by devouring it.
Others feared it like poison, but in his eyes, it was a tonic.
"Nurturing the Soul-destroying Lotus?"
Jiang Chuchu nodded and didn't say much. The Soul-destroying Lotus only fed on flesh and demonic Qi, and it was a huge amount of it.
With Gu Changge's means, this was nothing to him.
Although Gu Changge's attitude towards her was much better recently, she didn't forget Gu Changge's true face and temperament.
"Let's go."
The Golden Cicada Bodhisattva retracted his gaze. His fear of Gu Changge rose to another level.
After arriving here, everyone became more careful. Even Golden Cicada Buddha, who was leading the way, was extremely cautious. He didn't want to take a wrong step.
Numerous veins that were like the veins of the Grand Dao could be seen everywhere, and they were emanating dazzling brilliance.
There were more demons here, and they came from the depths of the Demon Burial Abyss. They were extremely powerful and ferocious. There was no hint of intelligence in their eyes, only killing and violence.
After passing through another area, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Demon Burial Abyss. Vast demonic Qi rushed toward them, as if it could drown the world.
Even the Great Saints were trembling. Their faces were pale, and there was no trace of blood.
The Golden Cicada Arhat stopped and turned around to address the crowd. "Those below the Supreme Saint Realm, stay here for now. I'll set up a Space Formation. If anything happens, you can quickly return here and escape."
"At the same time, we need someone to guard this place."
With that, he took out a purple-gold Buddha pestle and began to set up a formation here. He placed many materials in it, and was very careful.
The monks of Buddha Mountain already knew the arrangement, so they quickly divided into two groups. One group followed Golden Cicada Buddha, and the other stayed here.
"Then you stay here." Gu Changge looked at Jiang Chuchu.
"No." Jiang Chuchu shook her head and stared at him. "I want to go down with you."
Although her cultivation hadn't reached the Supreme Saint Realm, she had other methods to make up for her lack of cultivation.
Gu Changge frowned. She could feel that he was about to get angry. Jiang Chuchu instantly lost her confidence, but she still raised her eyes and mustered up her courage. She met his gaze and said, "I don't want to stay here."
"This is my business."
Gu Changge sighed slightly. He didn't seem to blame her. Instead, he asked, "Isn't your business my business? What's the difference? "
If Jiang Chuchu went down with him, it would make it difficult for him to carry out his next plan. Moreover, it would cause him a lot of trouble.
"I …"
Jiang Chuchu was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect Gu Changge to suddenly say this. Warmth filled her heart. For a moment, she didn't know how to refuse.
But she quickly reacted. Now that they were in front of everyone, wasn't Gu Changge admitting their relationship by saying this?
This made her, who was thin-skinned, a little shy.
Of course, as the Saintess of the Human Ancestor Temple, she was very good at maintaining her composure in front of others. In an instant, she regained her composure.
"Then you have to be careful. I'll always be here waiting for you," she promised after that.
Gu Changge nodded. His expression returned to normal. Then he ordered the people behind him to choose a group to follow him down, while the rest stayed here.
Soon, after carving the formation pattern, the Golden Cicada Buddha turned to look at Gu Changge and said, "Brother Gu, we can go down now."
With that, the Buddhist light on his body faintly shone. He directly tore through the Demonic Qi in front of him and headed into the Demon Burial Abyss.
A strange light flashed in Gu Changge's eyes. The void blurred, and the mighty Demonic Qi automatically parted before him.
He also stepped forward to follow. Not long after, he disappeared into the thick Demonic Qi and fell into the depths of the Demon Burial Abyss.
The Demon Burial Abyss was very big. It could be said that it was a paradise of its own. A terrifying aura wreaked havoc. Many demons could be seen killing each other as if they didn't know exhaustion.
All living beings here, regardless of their physical body or Divine Soul, would be infected by the terrifying aura. They would kill each other without regard for their lives.
Gu Changge could imagine that they had been sealed here for countless years. It could even be said that they had been sealed here for countless eras.
To the red-clothed woman, Mo Chan Hong, this was a great torture.
The demons here, even the powerful Great Demons who were comparable to Quasi-Supremes, did not have the slightest bit of intelligence. They only knew how to fight and kill. They either killed others or were killed by others.
If it were anyone else who stayed in such a dark place, they would probably go crazy. Once it was born, it would definitely cause unimaginable disasters.
Bloodbath in all realms — this was probably not just a saying.
"Brother Gu, what do you think of the changes in the depths of the Demon Burial Abyss?"
Just as Gu Changge was thinking, the Golden Cicada Buddha, who was leading the way, suddenly looked back and asked with a smile.
"It should be that the thing that sealed this place has been broken. Or rather, the evil thing here is about to be born," Gu Changge said calmly.
He was about to attack the Golden Cicada Buddha, but the other party's words reminded him.
It was better not to attack before he saw the so-called Zen robe.
The Golden Cicada Buddha did not seem surprised. He continued to ask, "There is chaos here, and all the Great Demons are escaping outside. This is strange. Brother Gu, what do you think? "
He planned to test Gu Changge's intentions and see how much he knew about the Demon Burial Abyss.
If he was also here for the Zen robe, then he would have to use some tricks to make Gu Changge stay here forever.
Gu Changge was very powerful, but he was not as familiar with the Demon Burial Abyss as he was.
"These demons should be afraid of something. Rather than calling it a riot, I think it's more like they're fleeing for their lives."
Gu Changge seemed to see through the Golden Cicada Buddha's thoughts. He said calmly, "Did the Golden Cicada Buddha not investigate before coming here?"
"Then what is Brother Gu's plan?"
The Golden Cicada Buddha's heart pounded. He asked again. Buddhist light flickered on his monk robes, resisting the terrifying Demonic Qi here.
The many monks beside him were also fighting here. They were leading the way and were all injured.
Gu Changge said casually, "I came here because I was worried that Chuchu would be in danger, but I couldn't persuade her. Does the Golden Cicada Buddha think that I am interested in solving the Demon Burial Abyss?"
"If that is the case, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
He couldn't help but laugh. He seemed honest, but also mocking.
The Golden Cicada Buddha was momentarily stunned. He didn't expect Gu Changge to be so honest. He was just short of saying that he was only here to make a good impression and had no intention of interfering in the Demon Burial Abyss.
But this was in line with his understanding of Gu Changge. Why would such a person care about the lives of others?
It seemed that he had some scheme for the Holy Maiden Chuchu, so he risked his life to come here with her.
This made the Golden Cicada Buddha sigh in relief. He felt that things would be much easier.
"I see. Brother Gu is an honest person."
He smiled. Since Gu Changge had no intention of interfering in the Demon Burial Abyss, he definitely didn't know about the Zen robe.
"Then what is the Golden Cicada Buddha's purpose here? I'm quite curious. "
Gu Changge asked with interest.
The Golden Cicada Buddha's expression had returned to normal. He didn't dare to lie, because once Gu Changge found out that he was just playing along, he would definitely suspect his purpose.
If Gu Changge became interested in the Zen robe and tried to steal it, wouldn't that ruin his plans?
So he decided to be honest. But there were some things that he still had to hide.
"Actually, this little monk came here to retrieve a lost Buddhist treasure," he explained.
Seeing that Gu Changge didn't seem to believe him, he continued, "I'm ashamed to say that this matter involves a scandal of my Buddha Mountain. Back then, there was an enlightened monk of Buddha Mountain who had a great ambition to conquer the Demon Burial Abyss. In the end, he entered the Demon Burial Abyss and was bewitched by a ferocious female demon in the depths of the Demon Burial Abyss. He was bewitched and stole the treasure of Buddha Mountain, hoping to relieve his suffering. Unfortunately, that female demon was vicious and merciless …"
Speaking of this, he sighed.
Speaking of which, this was something he had done in his previous life. But he hadn't fully awakened his innate wisdom, so he could only watch as a bystander.
Just based on her appearance, she was able to bewitch an eminent monk. How terrifying and inconceivable was this? But it had happened just like that.
"And then he was killed here?"
Gu Changge asked calmly, but he felt that this matter was a little tricky.
It would be fine if Chan Hongyi wasn't in her right mind.
If she was, wouldn't all the pain and suffering she had suffered all these years be returned to him the moment she saw him?
Not to mention the things that happened before she was sent to the Demon Burial Abyss. Gu Changge didn't think that many grudges could be resolved so easily.
Hatred born from love. This hatred couldn't be erased even in the deepest depths of hell.
Now it seemed that it was still the two methods he had thought of before.
He had to slowly smooth things over, or find a way to completely destroy her, once and for all.
However, the only thing Gu Changge could be thankful for was that although Chan Hongyi didn't die after taking his blow, she wasn't in a good state either.
Even if there was a possibility that she had gone easy on him, the injuries caused by the destructive power of that blow would take a long time to heal.
That was why Gu Changge was looking for a place to recuperate.
If she wasn't in her right mind, it was easy to trick her. If she was in her right mind, he would have to find another way.
"That's why this matter is a scandal of Buddha Mountain. Until now, no one has mentioned it."
The Golden Cicada Buddha smiled bitterly and seemed to be rather emotional. Then, he continued to lead the way, using his Buddhist bones to sense the location of the Buddhist robes.
At this time, as he went deeper, Gu Changge felt a strange movement from the Demon Heart. The Eight Desolation Demon Halberd seemed to be awakening and wasn't as quiet as usual.
The terrifying aura of the entire Demon Burial Abyss suddenly seemed to fall from the sky, suffocating him and making it difficult for him to move.
The aura sealed within made him feel like he was facing an existence that surpassed the Emperor and Immortal Realm.
"The Demon Burial Abyss was caused by a drop of true blood that fell here when I was the Demon Master …"
However, Gu Changge's eyes were dim. He felt an extremely familiar aura in the depths of the Demon Burial Abyss.
It wasn't Chan Hongyi, but another aura, in the depths of the source.
