Chapter 1285 - Secret of the Sacred Abyss


    Time passed on the Spiritual Jade Ind, and in a blink of an eye, a month had passed.


    Luo Li and Ling Xi sat side-by-side in a bamboo pavilion with a chessboard on the table for them to kill time. There would also be waves ofughter that asionally resounded, and it was a beautiful scene that made everything beyond this bamboo pavilion to be overshadowed.


    During the time Mu Chen was cultivating, the twodies had intended on waiting on the ind.


    As they talked, an elderly figure suddenly appeared in the pavilion with a sh and Celestial Chi Yan had a sour face as he looked at Luo Li. “Lass, are you really not willing to be the Holy Maiden of my Ancient Spirit n?”


    During this month, Celestial Chi Yan hade numerous times, but all of his invitations were rejected by Luo Li.


    This time, Luo Li still helplessly sighed as she apologised, “Senior, I am currently the Empress of the Luo God n, how can I abandon them to be the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit n? Furthermore, I’m not of the Ancient Spirit n’s bloodline, either...”


    Grabbing onto his hair, Celestial Chi Yan said, “Our Ancient Spirit n is unlike those stubborn Ancient ns. Our n holds the greatest tolerance, so we do not mind the difference in the bloodline. Even if you have a thin bloodline, as long as you show great talent, then you can still be the Holy Maiden. Our n will absolutely show no rejections.


    “In the history of our n, we have had many outstanding Holy Maidens that received acknowledgment, even though they weren’t from our n.”


    Hearing those words, even Luo Li was surprised, since this was the first time she had seen such a tolerant n. It’s the same feeling as having an Empress in the Luo God n that didn’t possess any bloodline of the Luo God n...


    “Luo Li, what this Senior said isn’t false. The Ancient Spirit n is certainly one of the most tolerant Ancient ns in the Great Thousand World.” Ling Xi had also nodded her head from the side and sighed, “If the Ancient Buddha n could also be this way, Aunt Jing wouldn’t have to be separated from Mu Chen for so many years.”


    Luo Li gently nodded her head, but she still did not agree to it. She was no longer a young girl, so she knew that there must be many factions in a massive Ancient n. Just the Luo God n alone had left her with a headache, and if she went to be the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit n, there was bound to be an intensepetition, no matter how tolerant the Ancient Spirit n was.


    The water would inevitably run deep, which Luo Li had no intention of joining.


    Seeing how decisive Luo Li was, Celestial Chi Yan was a little depressed and sighed, “What a pity, I initially thought that we would be able to rush for the Primordial Sacred Abyss...”


    “Primordial Sacred Abyss?!” Before he finished speaking, Ling Xi had eximed with her eyes narrowed. “The famous ominousnd of the Great Thousand World, that was also the decisive battlegrounds in the ancient times?”


    Celestial Chi Yan nodded his head. “You’re pretty knowledgeable. That’s right; it’s that Primordial Sacred Abyss that I’m speaking of.”


    “The Primordial Sacred Abyss is located in a storm of time and space that cannot be found. It will only show signs of when it’s appearing. I never expected that it would appear now.” Ling Xi’s gaze flickered.


    “The Primordial Sacred Abyss? I have vaguely heard of it before. That ce is known to be dangerous, and the environment is so harsh that even a Perfected Earth Sovereign might fall in it. Why? Big Sister Ling Xi is interested in it?” Luo Li nodded her head as she asked.


    “It is rumored that back in the ancient battle, there were nearly ten Heavenly Sovereigns of our Great Thousand World that fell in there, with four being Saint Heavenly Sovereigns!” Ling Xi said.


    In the Great Thousand World, even Heavenly Sovereigns were separated into levels. They were the Spirit, Immortal, and Saint grades of Heavenly Sovereign, and Saint Heavenly Sovereigns were basically the pinnacle existences in the Great Thousand World.


    “Four Saint Heavenly Sovereigns?” Luo Li’s face slightly changed. This was definitely a terrifying formation. The moment they fell, it became an immeasurable loss to the Great Thousand World.


    Thus, one could infer from this the price that the Great Thousand World had paid to resist those Fiend ns.


    “Although we have suffered considerable losses in that battle, the Fiend ns did not have it well, either. They have also lost ten-odd Monarchs, with four Sky Monarchs ranking amongst the Top 15.” Celestial Chi Yan added.


    Sky Monarchs were equivalent to the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World, and since they could be ranked amongst the Top 15, that meant that even in the Fiend ns, those must be supreme existences.


    “Many powerhouses from both sides have fallen inside, there are also my inheritances that belong to Heavenly Sovereigns. Even Peerless Divine Artifacts, higher graded Saint Artifacts or even Peerless Artifacts are left within. So, despite being extremely dangerous, there are still many people in the Great Thousand Wold that would want to enter. If they’re lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of a Heavenly Sovereign, it would be equivalent to soaring into the sky...


    “However, since the Primordial Sacred Abyss is located within the storm of space and time, only Heavenly sovereigns can send people in. Thus, the threshold has stopped many greedy people. But even so, there are still many people heading for it... even my Ancient Spirit n, as well.”


    As he spoke, Celestial Chi Yan licked his lips with a ze in his eyes. “That’s because, amongst the four Saint Heavenly Sovereigns that fell, one of my ancestors from the Ancient Spirit n was amongst them. The ‘Ancient Spirit Channelling Light’ that he cultivated was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World. The might of it is boundless. Even in my Ancient Spirit n, it’s ranked as a top-tiered Divine Ability. It’s just a pity that with the death of that ancestor, the Peerless Divine Ability has also been lost. So it has always been the wish of my n to seek this Divine Ability...


    “Thus, anyone that can find the Peerless Divine Ability will surpass all the otherpetitors and receive the support of everyone in the Ancient Spirit n, bing the Holy Maiden of my Ancient Spirit n!”


    When she heard it to this point, Luo Li suddenly said, “So there arepetitors for the Holy Maiden position, as well? Only those that can find the Divine Ability will be able to be the Holy Maiden?”


    The fire on Celestial Chi Yan’s face froze and he awkwardly coughed, “I’m only an envoy of the Ancient Spirit n searching for suitable candidates for the Holy Maiden position...”


    Luo Li couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She knew that it definitely wouldn’t be easy to be the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit n. After talking so much, it’s merely as a candidate.


    Seeing Luo Li’s gaze, Celestial Chi Yan’s face turned red before he awkwardly smiled.


    Thus, this pavilion had returned to silence, and only Ling Xi’s gaze shed with thoughts before she gently said, “Aside from the ‘Ancient Spirit Channelling Light’, there seems to be another Saint Heavenly Sovereign that belongs to the Ancient Buddha n, right?”


    Celestial Chi Yan nodded his head. “Yeah, that ancestor from the Ancient Buddha n was extraordinary. The Eight-Divisional Pagoda he cultivated was also one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. Many Young Masters in the Ancient Buddha n already have ns to take that Peerless Divine Ability back.


    “That’s because there’s a rule in the n that anyone that can obtain the Eight-Divisional Pagoda will be the next Patriarch.”


    When he spoke, Ling Xi’s eyes beamed and Luo Li looked at Ling Xi, understanding the former’s intentions. Clearly, Ling Xi wanted Mu Chen to obtain the Eight Divisional Pagoda, and Mu Chen might be able to save his mother from the Ancient Buddha n through other means.


    Luo Li was also in agreement with this idea. It’s too tricky for Mu Chen to go through the proper channels, since the foundation of the Ancient Buddha n was still a little terrifying.


    Thinking about it, Luo Li had also fallen into pondering. She initially wasn’t too interested in being the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit n. In terms of inheritance, she had the Luo Shen Inheritance, and the Luo Shen Celestial Body could already be her greatest advantage in bing a Heavenly Sovereign.


    But if she became the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit n, then she would have the support of a terrifying Ancient n behind her. If the dayes that Mu Chen’s rtionship with the Ancient Buddha n getspletely torn apart, she might be able to grant him some help.


    Luo Li understood that the backing of the Luo God n couldn’t grant much help to Mu Chen, and if she really wanted to help Mu Chen, then she could use the Ancient Spirit n to do so...


    She wasn’t too interested in the Ancient Spirit n, but for Mu Chen... she’s willing to be that Holy Maiden.


    Thinking about that, she pursed her lips while exchanging a nce with Ling Xi. Although they did not speak, they already understood each other’s thoughts.


    Ling Xi’s pupils shed with gratitude. If Luo Li did that, then she would have topete with the other Holy Maiden candidates in the Ancient Spirit n, which wouldn’t be an easy matter.


    Luo Li only lightly smiled in response. For her, Mu Chen even offended the West Heaven Battle Emperor without hesitation. So what if she facedpetition for him?


    In that short instant, the two of them have finished exchanging intentions and Luo Li smiled towards Celestial Chi Yan. “Senior, it’s possible for me to be a candidate for the Holy Maiden, but you have to promise me something.”


    “Oh?” Celestial Chi Yan, who no longer held any hope suddenly grew excited and he waved his hand. “Please say it.”


    Pursing her lips, Luo Li pointed her finger in the direction of Mu Chen in a graceful manner. “I hope that Senior can send the both of us into the Primordial Sacred Abyss...”
