Chapter 140: The Black Abyss That Vanished from the Map!

【Hearing that, Long Xinyue tilted his head and looked at you.】

【“Bizarre... insect? What is that?”】

【The moment you saw Long Xinyue’s blank expression, you immediately realized that the mortals of the Canglan Realm had no idea what Bizarre Insects were.】

【You promptly changed the way you phrased it and told Long Xinyue that the Bizarre Insect you mentioned was the sinister thing he had spoken of.】

【After listening to your explanation, Long Xinyue first nodded, then shook his head.】

【Seeing this, you frowned slightly, unable to understand whether he could see it or not.】

【With a gentle gaze, you looked at Long Xinyue and asked him what exactly was going on.】

【Seeing that you bore no ill will, Long Xinyue told you that he could not make sense of the condition inside your body, but that he could sense a sinister aura within you, so he had guessed that there was some sinister thing inside you.】

【“So that’s how it is...”】

【You guessed inwardly that his ability to sense the existence of the Bizarre Insect was most likely due to the special nature of the Moon-Devouring Yin-Swallowing Body.】

【Afterward, you brought Long Xinyue back to your residence.】

【After more than a month of inquiries, you still had not learned the information you wanted.】

【Left with no other choice, you decided to use the Heavenly Secrets Art to deduce the location of a land of destruction.】

【Using the Heavenly Secrets Art to make deductions would bring a certain karmic backlash. That was also why you avoided using it unless absolutely necessary.】

【But now, you had no other option. Rather than continue wasting time like this, it was better to endure some karmic backlash.】

【A few days later, you awoke from your deductions with a pale face.】

【You had not expected that your Heavenly Secrets Art would encounter even greater resistance when making deductions within the Canglan Realm.】

【You guessed that this was likely related to how much more complete the laws of the Canglan Realm were.】

【Fortunately, you had deduced the answer you wanted — the Black Abyss!】

【Immediately afterward, you opened the map Yue Liuli had given you, only to discover that there was not the slightest trace of any place called the Black Abyss marked on it.】

【“How could this be?”】

【At that moment, you even began to suspect that the map Yue Liuli had given you was a fake map of the Canglan Realm.】

【Thinking of this, you hurried into the Qin Kingdom and bought another map.】

【After seeing that the newly purchased map was exactly the same as the one Yue Liuli had given you, you fell into deep thought.】

【At that moment, you understood that the mastermind behind all this was most likely the Bizarre Immortal Race.】

【The Bizarre Immortal Race had redefined the rules of the Canglan Realm. They would only allow the Human Race to see what they wanted them to see.】

【Even a place like the Black Abyss had disappeared from the maps.】

【With an unsightly expression, you returned to the room and began deducing once more.】

【At this point, you had no second road to choose from. No matter how severe the karmic backlash was, you could only grit your teeth and press on.】

【Seven days later!】

【You slowly opened your eyes, a thread of blood spilling from the corner of your mouth.】

【You had not expected that merely deducing the location of the Black Abyss would bring such violent backlash.】

【What surprised you even more was that during the process of deducing the Black Abyss, an unknown force had interfered.】

【You could say with certainty that this force came from the Bizarre Immortal Race. They were deliberately trying to erase the existence of the Black Abyss.】

【“It seems there is something in the Black Abyss that the Bizarre Immortal Race fears.”】

【Although you had suffered severe backlash injuries, you had gotten the answer you wanted. You had deduced the location of the Black Abyss.】

【“Southern Wilderness Divine Continent...”】

【You silently committed the place to memory, then took out a pill, placed it in your mouth, and entered seclusion to heal your injuries.】

【Year Seven!】

【Your injuries had fully recovered. You went to find Xuanyuan Tianji and told her that you planned to make a trip to the Southern Wilderness Divine Continent, asking whether she wanted to come with you.】

【After hearing that, Xuanyuan Tianji declined to accompany you.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that since her cultivation was still relatively low, it was safer for her to remain in the Qin Kingdom and cultivate.】

【You agreed with Xuanyuan Tianji’s decision.】

【Right after that, you found Long Xinyue and told him that you would be traveling far away, and that he should stay with Xuanyuan Tianji.】

【The next day!】

【You set out for the Southern Wilderness Divine Continent together with your External Incarnation.】

【From the map, you learned that between the Southern Wilderness Divine Continent and the Eastern Dao Divine Continent lay the Eastern Azure Sea.】

【You had to cross the Eastern Azure Sea in order to reach the Southern Wilderness Divine Continent.】

【What gave you an even greater headache was that the teleportation arrays between each region had already fallen under the control of the Bizarre Immortal Race.】

【If you wanted to travel to another continent, you either had to use a teleportation formation or cross the Endless Sea on your own.】

【You had not expected that it was one thing to take the Endless Sea route in the Dead Land, but after coming to the Canglan Realm, you would still have to travel the back roads through the Endless Sea.】

【And it was only after learning that the teleportation formations were controlled that you realized just how laughable it had been to think you could gather information through ordinary inquiries in the Qin Kingdom.】

【Now, unless the Bizarre Immortal Race deliberately released information, news between the various regions did not circulate at all.】

【Half a year later!】

【You finally arrived at the border of the Eastern Dao Divine Continent and saw the boundless Endless Sea stretching before you.】

【In the next instant, you used the Great Void Technique without hesitation and entered the Endless Sea.】

【After entering the Endless Sea, you froze slightly.】

【You suddenly discovered that the Endless Sea of the Canglan Realm was completely different from the one in the Dead Land. There were no terrifying astral winds here.】

【Even a cultivator who had never cultivated the Great Void Technique could travel across the Endless Sea.】

【Even so, you still did not choose to fly across it on your sword, but continued using the Great Void Technique to pass through as quickly as possible.】

【One month later!】

【You drew the Taixu Immortal Sword and began flying on your sword. After using the Great Void Technique to travel for an entire month, the spiritual qi in your body was no longer enough to support you continuing like that.】

【What was more, you had discovered a major problem.】

【When you fled from Chu Ling’s tribe earlier, you had probably been too focused on escaping to notice it. It was only now, while traversing the Endless Sea, that you discovered the issue.】

【You found that even with the blessing of Movement Technique Mastery, the distance covered by the Great Void Technique was much shorter than when you had used it in the Dead Land.】

【“I never thought that more complete spatial laws would also place restrictions on the Great Void Technique.”】

【BOOM—】

【Suddenly, just as you were still thinking about the Great Void Technique, a demon beast burst out of the sea below and lunged straight at you.】

【This sudden turn of events left you with no time to react, and you were swallowed whole by the demon beast.】

【“Heavenslaying!”】

【Inside the demon beast’s belly, you used the Taixu Immortal Sword and unleashed Heavenslaying, ripping open its abdomen and bursting out through its body.】

【Before your Taixu Immortal Sword, the demon beast’s fleshly body was as fragile as papier-mâché.】

【The demon beast collapsed onto the surface of the sea, and its blood quickly dyed the waters red.】

【“An Integration Realm demon beast?”】

【You discovered that the one which had swallowed you just now was a snake demon at the Integration Realm.】
