Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: Ancient Secrets

"Changshang is a madman! Although he was wise to the humans of the Xuandang Great World, in his pursuit of power, he was utterly ruthless. Ever since he discovered the countless wronged souls within the Qiuming Abyss, he spent thousands of years redesigning it, casting most of his enemies into the abyss, condemned to never transcend!"

The Nether Lord continued, seemingly resentful toward Changshang, making it hard to believe they were brothers.

"I am trapped in the City of Fate because of Changshang. He claimed it was to protect me, but he left me to endure endless loneliness."

"Thus, when I hear you later generations praising Changshang, I am disgraced, yet powerless to change it."

Hiss—

Mo Xuanzi gasped in shock. This being was from the same era as Changshang?

He also hadn’t realized just how complex the origins of the Qiuming Abyss were.

After two renovations by the Qiuming Emperor and Changshang, the Qiuming Abyss finally became a place of no return.

And those who died here were forever unable to escape, either consumed or enduring suffering in the Qiuming Abyss.

"What exactly are you?" Mo Xuanzi couldn’t help but ask.

Fairy Nansu also looked at Qin Jun in surprise, not expecting him to have this card up his sleeve.

Qiang Liang, Zhao Gongming, and Fuxi were not as surprised. They had already heard about the Nether Lord during their time at the Great Qin Celestial Court.

Changshang’s older brother.

"I am the Nether Lord! You’re the joke!" the Nether Lord retorted furiously.

At that moment, a wronged soul beneath a tree ahead slowly rose, drawing its sword and approaching.

The aura of murder, though not as intense as Duan Fengdao’s, still sent shivers down the spine.

"Don’t stay long in the Qiuming Abyss; this place imprisons many demons, even some enemies Changshang couldn’t resolve!"

The Nether Lord advised, now merely a soul himself, fearing that a prolonged stay would reduce him to a wronged soul too.

This was the last thing he wanted.

"Enemies even Changshang couldn’t resolve?"

Qin Jun furrowed his brow, no wonder the Qiuming Abyss was considered the most forbidden place in the ancient celestial realms.

The madchild had escaped from the Qiuming Abyss, causing tumult in the ancient celestial realms from the moment of its birth, even battling Canghua Immortal Venerable without defeat.

It showed the kind of monstrous beings imprisoned within the Qiuming Abyss.

Like the previous Duan Fengdao, if he were to escape, he would be another madchild, his overwhelming murderous aura and indestructible body posing even greater threats than the madchild.

The wronged soul with the sword approached, getting closer until about fifty meters away, it suddenly dashed forward.

Mo Xuanzi cursed softly, thrusting his palms forward abruptly, his surging mana transforming into a giant white lion, a hundred meters at the shoulder, charging forward, dirt flying and trees on both sides toppling. The wronged soul didn’t dodge and was shattered by the impact of the white lion.

The ferocious mana-beast continued its charge, creating a clear path to the horizon, as if it split the world in two.

His prowess in the later stages of entering the realm of the sage was indeed no myth!

Mo Xuanzi grew serious, displaying the demeanor of a suprememee Heavenly Pride.

"The Qiuming Abyss was once the Qiuming Emperor’s prison for sinners from all clans; the number of beings that died here is unimaginable—trillions are a mere understatement. One must not linger here, or misfortune will follow."

"Back then, the Xuandang Great World was still one of the most prosperous worlds in the universe, with the Demon Clan as the protagonists of heaven and earth. The Xuandang Great World was ruled by the Demon Clan. After Changshang suppressed me in the City of Fate, I heard from the creatures who strayed into the City of Fate that it didn’t take thousands of years before Changshang left, and the humans of Xuandang Great World once again fell prey to the Demon Clan."

"No matter how strong Changshang was, he didn’t dare to intervene because he stayed in the Qiuming Abyss too long in his pursuit of power and became entangled with misfortune. Had he led the humans of the Xuandang Great World, they would have never risen, nor could they have ever become the protagonists of heaven and earth."

The Nether Lord continued, revealing an ancient secret.

It turns out that the reason Changshang didn’t continue to lead the Human Clan and chose to leave for the heavens was because of the Qiuming Abyss.

After spending thousands of years in the Qiuming Abyss, what exactly had Changshang done that prevented him from resuming his role as the leader of the Human Clan?

The Nether Lord did not know, and Qin Jun and the others were even less likely to know.

Mo Xuanzi and Fairy Nansu were silent, clearly shocked.

They knew that in the era of Chang Can, Xuandang Great World was indeed one of the most prosperous worlds in the cosmos, but Chang Can did not provide much help to Xuandang Great World. Despite the absence of Jiye Demon Lord’s dominance, he had largely neglected Xuandang Great World.

It turned out that Chang Can did not want to involve the people of Xuan Dang Great World.

"I never expected the Xuan Emperor to have such a history." Mo Xuanzi exclaimed.

The Xuan Emperor was another title for Chang Can.

"Let’s go, continue moving forward."

Qin Jun said softly, his interest in the Qiuming Abyss growing even more.

Even a powerful being like Chang Can was plagued by misfortune because of the Qiuming Abyss, which showed how terrifying the Qiuming Abyss was, and what heights had the Qiuming Emperor reached?

Qin Jun could not imagine for the moment.

The group continued moving forward.

"By the way, have you ever heard of the Nether Lord?"

As they walked, Mo Xuanzi quietly asked Fairy Nansu.

Fairy Nansu shook her head; they had only heard of Chang Can and were unaware of the influential figures within Xuan Dang Great World.

Although the Nether Lord was Chang Can’s older brother, the gap in talent was immense; viewed against the cosmos, he was completely inconsequential.

When the Nether Lord inside the Xuanhuo Mirror heard Mo Xuanzi’s words, he almost exploded with rage.

Qin Jun put away the Xuanhuo Mirror and continued forward.

Because of this secret, everyone became even more vigilant. Who wouldn’t be nervous about the Qiuming Emperor and Chang Can?

About half an hour later, they finally emerged.

Beyond the forest lay undulating mountains, covered with countless skeletons of various creatures. Human skulls, beast skulls, even though the flesh had decayed, were chilling to behold; the piles of bones lay on the ground like dragons, creating a horrifying sight.

The group stopped in their tracks, their expressions solemn.

Bones covered the area as far as the eye could see, making it hard to imagine how many beings had died there.

A pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the bone-chilling cold wind howled.

Mo Xuanzi shuddered and said, "Let’s go around; who knows if an old demon is hidden inside?"

Having been in the Qiuming Abyss for hundreds of years, he knew well its horrors.

As strong as Duan Fengdao was, he was not invincible. Mo Xuanzi had followed Duan Fengdao and seen him defeated numerous times. If not for Duan Fengdao’s undying body, he would have been finished long ago.

"What’s there to be afraid of?"

Qiang Liang scoffed disdainfully. Qin Jun smiled slightly and continued walking directly forward.

Knowing the mountain had tigers, he chose to walk towards the tiger mountain.

With Qiang Liang, being in the late stages of Manifesting Saint, by his side, what did Qin Jun have to worry about?

Fairy Nansu silently followed. Mo Xuanzi opened his mouth as if to speak, then stopped himself, and eventually followed quietly.

Boom—

Suddenly, an explosion sounded ahead, and then a figure leaped up from the sea of bone mountains.

Shining like the sun, the figure was a godly warrior astride two golden discs, his purple robe fluttering loudly, long hair dancing wildly in the air, his presence divine and aloof.

"Di Tianwu!"

Mo Xuanzi exclaimed, as if he had seen a ghost.
