My apprentice is a little weird?

Having said this he paused slightly, then shook his head and laughed.

"It's meaningless to say that anymore~"

"You... should already know the purpose of your coming here."

"After you show your power now, I, or the Wind-Climbing Sword Sect, or even the entire Lingxiang Region, will not be able to touch you. You can rest assured about this."

The old man spoke in a calm voice and looked at her seriously.

“So, we want to ask a question.”

"We want to know where the abyss is."

Shen Ming looked normal.

"I do not know."

At this time, Lu Ming frowned slightly and said, "You yourself came from the abyss, why don't you know where the abyss is?"

"I didn't lie about this, and there's no need to lie. I really don't know where the abyss is."

"Then...what about the Nether Dust Realm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the place suddenly became quiet.

There was a hint of sadness between Lu Ming's brows as he spoke slowly.

"The Nether Dust Territory has been slowly expanding outwards since more than a decade ago. Its range has expanded nearly a hundred miles compared to before. It has only been a dozen years. If it continues to expand... I'm afraid it will swallow up the Spiritual Country Territory in less than a hundred years."

"According to the ancient books of my sect, the Nether Dust Realm is an ancient battlefield where countless immortals have fallen. That is why there is such a huge amount of resentment, death, and evil spirits that cannot be eliminated. But according to the secret of our sect, the Nether Dust Realm is actually the remnant of the abyss..."

Shen Ming asked: "So what do you mean by saying this? What do you want to do?"

"All of our sects and forces believe that since the Nether Dust Realm is a remnant of the Abyss, then the Abyss must be hidden underneath it, or... this Nether Dust Realm is used to prevent people from entering it and destroying the stability of the Abyss. After all, it has been safe and sound for thousands of years, and even three hundred years ago, the Nether Dust Realm was shrinking, which shows the accuracy of this statement."

"But... that City God broke it all..."

Lu Ming's eyes were dim and he seemed to be lost in some memories.

"That City God... is truly a man of extraordinary talent. He has single-handedly advanced the way of God to a completely new and unprecedented realm, comparable to a true immortal. Even the ancient immortal sect's genius, Mu Jinhua, who suppressed the times, dare not say that he can completely overshadow him."

"But such a City God actually...went crazy..."

"We were just juniors in the sect at that time, and we don't know much about the details of the situation. We can only express our regret."

"But... the city god who came later somehow communicated with the abyss! And brought a person out of it!"

"For the cultivation world, this is extremely shocking, because before this, everyone thought that the abyss only existed in the Nether Dust Realm and would not appear in the outside world, but... he actually opened the abyss from somewhere else~"

"As for that incident, I only remember two words. Carelessness, carelessness towards the abyss, carelessness towards that city god, and carelessness towards 'you' who walked out of the abyss..."

Having said that, Lu Ming looked at Shen Ming with burning eyes.

"The strength of that City God is unrivaled. After he went mad, he was invincible. No one in the world could be his opponent. Moreover, the immortals and gods who fought against him would be unknowingly contaminated by him and then all went mad. Among them, the gods were the easiest..."

"Since you, the cultivation world has been severely damaged. Many people who have become immortals have died or been injured. They either linger on and fall into a deep sleep, or give up their physical bodies and take on new lives. This is truly the darkest moment for the cultivation world."

Lu Ming spoke with some emotion, and the old man beside him also had a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

But Shen Ming's expression did not change at all, and he said coldly:

"Are you finished?"

"Did you invite me here just to talk nonsense?"

"you!"

"you!"

The elders behind Lu Ming suddenly became restless, and even with their good manners they couldn't help but curse.

But they didn’t…

Shen Ming slowly stood up and glanced at them calmly.

"If there are no other questions, I will leave."

"Wait, Sect Leader Shen, if the Nether Dust Territory continues to expand, it will sooner or later engulf the entire continent, and even you will not be spared."

Lu Ming spoke in a deep voice, but Shen Ming just said casually:

"Do you have any solution?"

"No……"

"If you don't have any, then why are you talking nonsense?"

"........."

Lu Ming was speechless, and the old man stood up and took out a broken bronze mirror from his arms.

"After the catastrophe, the surviving seniors discussed your life and death together and concluded that... the world would be destroyed... You are the hope of a breakthrough and the source of the disaster, so you cannot die. But if you are allowed to grow, with your talent, you will eventually become a monster without self-awareness..."

"That's why Senior Hibiscus sealed you in the Dao Mirror. But after we sealed you completely, the deduction changed..."

"It becomes blurry and unpredictable."

He slowly approached Shen Ming with a calm look.

“You may be good in yourself, and you will not cause any harm to the world, but your existence itself will lead the world to unknown dangers.”

“You may not think so, but everything about you is actually determined the moment you are born.”

"We don't know where the abyss is, but after thousands of years, someone has finally found some clues."

"In addition, the mad city god summoned the real demon. The seniors who fought against it at that time not only suffered heavy casualties, but also some of them obtained a considerable amount of information from it."

The old man handed the Taoist mirror in his hand to Shen Ming.

Shen Ming looked at the broken mirror coldly and silently.

"Master Shen, are you curious about why there were so many immortals three hundred years ago, but three hundred years later they seemed to have disappeared without a trace, not a single one can be seen? Why do you think this is?"

Shen Ming slowly stretched out his right hand and took the bronze mirror. Around his wrist were a dark hairband and a fiery red bracelet.

"do not know."

The old man put his hands behind his back and sighed: "This is related to the Nether Dust Realm~"

"To become an immortal, one must understand one's own path, and then seek and prove the path. The Nether Dust Realm is not only filled with filthy spiritual energy, but also with countless fragments of the Dao~"

"It is quite difficult to comprehend a path, but it is too easy to venture into the Nether Dust Realm to find a path similar to your own~"

"Three hundred years ago, how many people entered it to search for fragments of the Dao, and how many of them became geniuses and stood proudly in the world."

"And the source of the disaster...is also buried here..."

“Any free gift has a price already secretly marked on it.”
