The Celestial Abyss is the most mythical and ancient place in the Demon Realm.
Legends say that within the Celestial Abyss lies the ultimate secret of the Demon Realm. Countless heroes and powerful figures throughout the ages have entered the Celestial Abyss in pursuit of that elusive ultimate secret, but without exception, none of these strong individuals have ever returned.
Therefore, the Celestial Abyss has become the only forbidden zone in the Demon Realm.
However, this does not deter those who wish to explore the Celestial Abyss. It seems to possess an invisible magical power, compelling Demon Realm powerhouses to enter one after another, only to disappear without a trace.
Nine thousand years ago, their sole ruler, His Majesty the Demon Emperor, ventured into the Celestial Abyss alone and was never heard from again. It was only when sixteen Demon Venerables declared themselves kings that they realized His Majesty the Demon Emperor was likely dead.
Nine thousand years have passed, and every day, Demon Realm beings come before the Celestial Abyss, stopping at a safe distance. They all carry a cluster of Demon Spirit Flowers, as it is said that His Majesty the Demon Emperor enjoyed using them to brew Demon Spirit Wine, so they bring the flowers to commemorate their great Demon Emperor.
Before Yun Wuyue unified the Demon Realm, it was constantly embroiled in war. It was only when Yun Wuyue broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm and single-handedly restored order, unifying the Demon Realm, that it entered a long period of peace.
Their Demon Emperor had fallen, and the Demon Realm was plunged back into war. Therefore, they come here not only to commemorate their Emperor but also to pray for someone to end this era of conflict.
The Demon Realm is incredibly vast, with Immortal Kings everywhere and True Immortals treated like dogs. However, as in any world, the weak make up ninety-nine percent of the population. They do not desire war; they, like ordinary people in other worlds, yearn for peace.
Therefore, before the Celestial Abyss, Demon Realm beings are constantly kneeling on the ground with a cluster of Demon Spirit Flowers, devoutly praying for their Demon Emperor's blessing, hoping that a powerful figure will end this war that has lasted for thousands of years.
Gu Changsheng's figure blended into the countless others, except that while everyone else held a cluster of Demon Spirit Flowers, his hands were empty. Well, not entirely empty; he held a wine pot, taking sips from time to time. He hardly looked like he was here to commemorate anyone.
A kind-hearted demon, seeing Gu Changsheng's appearance, walked up to him and said, "Friend, I can divide my Demon Spirit Flowers into two clusters."
Gu Changsheng was taken aback, about to refuse, but the kind demon quickly separated his Demon Spirit Flowers, handing one cluster to Gu Changsheng with a smile, "Recently, more and more demons have been coming here to commemorate His Majesty the Demon Emperor, and the number of Demon Spirit Flowers has drastically decreased, with prices several times higher than before. It's normal to not have any. But friends help each other when traveling, so you don't need to refuse."
The kind demon placed the Demon Spirit Flowers in Gu Changsheng's hand and then left. This place was still a considerable distance from the Celestial Abyss.
Now, Gu Changsheng held the Demon Spirit Flowers in his left hand and the wine pot in his right. He looked at the Demon Spirit Flowers in his hand and muttered, "It seems a bit impolite to visit an old friend empty-handed, especially since I am the Holy Emperor of the Mortal Realm and Yun Wuyue is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm. I'm here to ask for her help... this would be a major diplomatic event in the mortal world. Very well, I shall borrow these flowers to present to the... demon!"
He had originally intended to say 'present to the Buddha,' but it was necessary to adapt to the circumstances.
Gu Changsheng held the Demon Spirit Flowers in one hand and the wine pot given to him by Yao Ji in the other, walking towards the Celestial Abyss with a light heart.
He had heard of the Demon Realm's Celestial Abyss long ago. He had wanted to enter it when he was in the Demon Realm, but because of Yun Wuyue, he had left the Demon Realm early. Now he had another opportunity to enter the Celestial Abyss, but his mood was completely different from before.
Gu Changsheng arrived at a high ground and looked into the distance, spotting the Celestial Abyss.
The Celestial Abyss, as the name suggests, seems to be a deep abyss, and in a way, it is. However, it is not an underground abyss but an abyss in the sky.
In the distant sky, there was a fissure extending from mid-air towards the firmament. Where the fissure connected to the top of the sky, a massive circle appeared, resembling a vortex, exuding mystery and the unknown, yet also possessing a captivating charm that made one want to fly into it and explore its depths.
This was the Celestial Abyss, the abyss of the sky!
This was Gu Changsheng's first time seeing the Celestial Abyss. He nodded slightly and said, "It is quite a sight!"
A good sight?
Many Demon Realm beings nearby heard Gu Changsheng's words. Some demons wanted to tell Gu Changsheng that this was not a scenic spot but a perilous forbidden zone. However, they discovered that Gu Changsheng's figure had already disappeared.
"Disappeared? Where did he go?" The demon was dumbfounded. Was he hallucinating?
This demon couldn't help but recall other legends about the Celestial Abyss, such as the legend that powerful figures who died in the Celestial Abyss would transform into undying spirits, wandering outside the abyss because they needed to find a demon with whom they were destined to possess in order to reincarnate, and the possessed demon would die mysteriously.
The demon shuddered at the thought of this legend, a trace of fear flashing in his heart. Could he be the destined demon?
"May the Demon Emperor bless me, may the Demon Emperor bless me..." The demon quickly knelt on the ground, holding the Demon Spirit Flowers high with both hands, devoutly praying for the Demon Emperor to protect him.
Little did he know that the undying spirit he believed in had already entered the Celestial Abyss.
As Gu Changsheng stepped into the Celestial Abyss, he felt a strange demonic energy trying to invade his body, attempting to penetrate his flesh and invade his soul.
This demonic energy was extremely domineering. Immortal Venerable beings from other worlds, if trapped within, would likely be invaded by the demonic energy in an instant, changing their soul's will and turning them into demons.
However, Gu Changsheng was unusually familiar with this demonic energy. It was the demonic energy of Yun Wuyue.
Gu Changsheng said helplessly, "Guests should be treated with respect. Who welcomes guests in such a way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple figure emerged from the demonic energy.
She slowly walked towards Gu Changsheng, her steps firm and powerful, each stride exuding an irresistible aura of dominance. However, this dominance did not diminish her feminine charm; instead, it added a unique allure to her every gesture.
Her eyes were purple, like burning flames, capable of seeing through people's hearts and igniting their passions. Those bright eyes revealed confidence and decisiveness, as well as a captivating charm that made people fall for her.
She possessed both the domineering aura of an emperor and the charm of a woman. Domineering and charm were originally contradictory qualities, but they were perfectly fused in her, forming a unique allure. She was like a purple flame walking among the heavens, an existence that could not be ignored, a captivating spectacle wherever she went.
She was the sole overlord of the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor Yun Wuyue!
