#890 - A Lotus from the Ancient Immortal World

Before reaching the bottom of the abyss, Jun Wuxie couldn't imagine what the scene would be like down there.

Arriving here, the mist dissipated, and he could see clearly that this place was simply like a mass grave.

He didn't land on the ground of the abyss, but on a pile of skeletons.

The bottom of this abyss was dozens of miles in circumference, and as far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with bones.

This place was completely filled with bones, and not just one layer, but many thick layers.

Most of the bones were so decayed that they were unrecognizable, and they would shatter when stepped on, but some of the bones were as crystal clear as jade.

Judging from the decayed weapons scattered among the bones and the postures of the skeletons, they were not thrown here after death, but died in battle here.

The vast majority of the skeletons should be warriors who fought against the dark creatures in those years, fighting with the dark creatures here.

Judging from the number of skeletons on both sides, it basically took dozens of people to perish together with one dark creature, which was a very tragic and deeply saddening scene.

In a certain direction at the bottom of the abyss, there was a dark and deep cave, filled with an evil and cold aura.

Jun Wuxie rushed over quickly.

Qing Yue's aura was deep in the dark cave, but it was extremely weak, as if it would disappear at any moment.

"This is the Ultimate Dark Curse!"

He didn't go far into the cave before he was immediately attacked by the Ultimate Dark Curse.

Black light and smoke surged in, engulfing him, frantically impacting his sea of consciousness and eroding his soul.

Those curse energies spread throughout his limbs and bones, trying to mutate his body.

"Humph!"

Jun Wuxie's soul released a powerful mental force, shaking out all the Ultimate Dark Will that had invaded his sea of consciousness. At the same time, he activated his Natal Star, generating a powerful devouring force, and instantly sucked the curse power in his limbs and bones into the Millstone of the World within the Natal Star.

He went all the way deep into the cave, every pore on his body like a vortex, devouring the Ultimate Dark Curse that came from inside completely.

Before long, she came to the end of the cave.

There was a wide stone cave here, filled with the aura of darkness.

In the center of the stone cave, there was a stone platform, covered with magic arrays. The runes were in an activated state, but the light was very dim.

"Qing Yue!"

Jun Wuxie rushed to the stone platform. He saw Qing Yue. She was sitting cross-legged in the very center of the stone platform, at the core of the magic array.

Beneath her, the magic array was covered with cracks, and the power of space flowed, with wisps of dark energy and the Ultimate Dark Curse constantly surging out from within.

However, most of the Ultimate Dark Curse was forcibly suppressed back by the light of the cyan crescent moon above her head and the seven-colored cyan lotus swaying in front of her.

Qing Yue's body was covered with red hair, and her body had already become demonically corrupted.

Hearing the sound, she opened her eyes, her eyes very clear, with an unspeakable joy, and then dimmed down in an instant.

"Lord Jun, you've come…"

Qing Yue was a little ethereal, and the voice didn't come from her mouth.

She could no longer control her body. Now, only her soul belonged to her. Her body was completely demonically corrupted, and the last trace of unwillingness to be cursed and demonized was also rapidly falling.

"Lord Jun, you are a Symbol Master. I know you have the means to repair the seal here. Quickly merge me with the magic array and let me fill the defects of the array's eye, sealing this dark world passage!"

"No, I'm going to take you back!"

Jun Wuxie stepped onto the stone platform and saw her current state, continuously injecting life essence into her body.

"It's useless. My body is seriously injured and has been eroded by the curse. It has already become demonically corrupted. The last trace of my life essence is also being assimilated by the curse. My body no longer belongs to me. You seal me here, using my body to merge with the magic array to block the dark world passage. In the future, when you defeat the darkness, come back and save my soul. At that time, I will still need Lord Jun to help me reshape my body."

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled.

She was preparing to sacrifice herself to seal the dark passage.

If she really did this, although her soul was infinitely close to the Saint Realm, and could withstand the attack of the Ultimate Dark Will in a short time, it would definitely not work in the long run. At that time, her soul would be weak and would inevitably be eroded by the curse. How could she talk about saving her soul?

"Don't talk, I'll save you. Now that I've found you, I won't allow you to die here!"

Jun Wuxie continued to send life essence, finally stabilizing the last trace of life essence in her body.

As long as it was stabilized, then her body would not be truly lost. Slowly strengthen the life essence, and the body and soul would gradually restore contact.

"Thank you for coming to save me, but really don't waste your energy. It will consume a lot of your life essence."

Qing Yue knew her own situation very well. The life essence that Jun Wuxie gave him, although it stabilized her last trace of life essence, it could not strengthen it, because the curse was constantly eroding her life essence.

"Lord Jun, do you think I'm very ugly like this?" Qing Yue's soul sighed faintly: "I've never been so ugly before, completely a monster. I didn't expect the ugliest appearance to be seen by you. Can you not remember me like this?"

"Not ugly. In my eyes, you are also very beautiful now. A person who is willing to use her own body to block the dark passage is the most beautiful person in the heavens!"

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie reached out and clasped Qing Yue's wrist covered with crimson hair, and a powerful devouring force frantically devoured all the energy in her body.

The current situation was that Qing Yue's true energy and blood energy were all fused with the Ultimate Dark Curse, and it was impossible to separate them individually. Only that trace of life essence remained in a pure state.

"I said I would save you, and I will soon restore your former beauty. You don't have to worry, others are afraid of the Ultimate Dark Curse, but I'm not!"

He sucked Qing Yue's energy into the cave, crushed and purified by the Millstone of the World, and then pasted it on her chest, sending the purified blood and true energy into her body.

Repeating this over and over again, again and again.

"I… I seem to have more perception of my body…"

Qing Yue's voice trembled a little, with unbelievable surprise. She didn't even realize that she was using her mouth subconsciously to make a sound. She could already control her lips, tongue, and throat, but only her eyes.

Jun Wuxie showed a confident smile and said: "I said, with me here, the Ultimate Dark Curse can't erode you, and no one can hurt you again."

As soon as the voice fell, he reached out and picked up Qing Yue, sat cross-legged in the position she had been sitting in before, and countless runes in his body rushed out, constantly sinking into the cracked magic array, making the cracks in the magic array gradually heal.

Golden blood energy condensed into a barrier, covering the stone platform beneath him, blocking the Ultimate Dark Curse and dark energy below.

Without the continuous invasion of the Ultimate Dark Curse, the curse in Qing Yue's body was quickly devoured by him.

Moreover, the true energy and blood energy returned to her body were purer than before.

The crimson hair on her body quickly disappeared, restoring her original appearance. Her skin was crystal clear and snow-white, and her face, except for the lack of blood, was still so beautiful and ethereal.

"How is it, can you control your body now?"

Jun Wuxie was now holding her, wanting to put her down to avoid embarrassment over time.

"No, now I can only move my head, and other parts only have a slight sense of awareness…"

Qing Yue shook her head, looked at him with clear eyes, and their eyes met. Jun Wuxie couldn't help but show a little embarrassment, while a blush climbed onto her pale face.

"Cough, then let's just hold you like this for now?"

Jun Wuxie actually knew that she couldn't recover control of her body so quickly, after all, the previous situation was too bad.

Now, the vitality of the body has been restored, but the life essence is very weak.

"You… help me restore my life essence…"

Qing Yue felt her cheeks burning, scalding hot.

She knew that her face must be red without looking in the mirror.

This was a feeling she had never had before, blushing for the first time, so embarrassed for the first time, having to lean in a man's arms.

But she couldn't help it, she couldn't move at all.

The ground was full of bones and dry blood, too dirty.

If she had to lie on such dirty ground, she would rather be held by him.

Without her saying, Jun Wuxie would naturally help, slowly injecting some of his own life essence into her body, merging with her origin, to stimulate her life essence to restore even stronger potential.

"You are a Reincarnator, right?"

He suddenly said.

Qing Yue was slightly silent, and then smiled: "Didn't you see it all?"

"Then the cyan lotus and the moon are?"

"That round cyan moon is the manifestation of my Dao Fruit, and the cyan lotus is…" Qing Yue looked into his eyes very seriously here before continuing: "It's my original body…"

"You… are you saying… your body is a cyan lotus? You are a demon?"

"What demon!" Qing Yue gently grinded her teeth, biting her slightly rosy lips, and said angrily: "I am an innate Holy Spirit, a lotus from the ancient Hongmeng, born from the origin of the universe…"

Jun Wuxie's hand holding her trembled, dumbfounded.

He knew that Qing Yue's origins were extraordinary, and her roots in her previous life were very deep, but he didn't expect that she was actually born from the origin of the universe, a Hongmeng cyan lotus!

An innate Holy Spirit, this origin is quite amazing!

There are acquired Holy Spirits, but that's not to say that they are far worse than innate Holy Spirits, let alone compared to ancient gods, and innate Holy Spirits are even above ancient gods.

Anything with the word innate is a very powerful existence.

"You told me such a big secret?" Jun Wuxie looked at her in surprise: "Do you still have secrets from me? Do you trust me so much?"

“I have no need to hide anything from you. If I wasn't sure before, after today's events, I am absolutely certain. You are the protector I saw in that glimpse of the future during my reincarnation…”

“Me? A protector?”

Jun Wuxie was a little confused by what she said.

“In my previous life, during reincarnation, I saw a glimpse of the future, saw my own tribulation—the scene just like today. I saw someone protecting me through this tribulation, but I didn't see the final outcome. That person only had a back view, very blurry, but now it seems, that person is you.”

“Heh, so you're saying I've become your protector?”

“Is God Jun unwilling? I won't let you protect me for nothing. In the future, I will try my best to repay your kindness.”

“It's not that.” Jun Wuxie shook his head and said solemnly, “I don't need you to repay me either. At the entrance of the Heavenly Secret Land, you disregarded the consequences for the sake of the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy and Qingcheng. I owe you that. You also gave me information about the Heavenly Secret Land, which has benefited me greatly and given me a great opportunity. I owe you all of that.”

Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “So, you will protect Qingyue in the future?”

“Of course. Between friends, if there's a need for help, you don't need to ask. As long as I know you need it, I will try my best to help. That's my promise.”

“To receive God Jun's promise, Qingyue is fortunate in this life. Thinking about the future, perhaps it won't be so difficult.”

“You are a reincarnation of an Innate Sacred Spirit, how could you feel that the future will definitely be difficult?”

Hearing this, Qingyue sighed and said, “In my previous life, I was an Innate Sacred Spirit, born strong, but in this life, I am a human body nurtured by a Green Lotus. The path I never walked in my previous life, I must slowly explore in this life, so the future is naturally difficult. Moreover, for someone like me, once people know my true identity, you see those people chasing after me, you'll know what the consequences will be…”

Hearing Qingyue mention this, he couldn't help but ask, “I heard them say you have a method to open the passage to the Upper Realm, is that true?”

“Perhaps. If they refine my body into a Hongmeng Green Lotus, and then use some special methods, they should be able to use the Hongmeng origin of the Green Lotus to open up a passage to the Upper Realm Universe.”

“That would kill you!”

Jun Wuxie's eyes turned cold, and he said, “Those people are in this ancient battlefield. Now they are enduring the attacks of the killing array to force their way deeper. When you have completely recovered your physical senses, I will take you out and see how I beat them to a pulp to vent your anger!”

“Okay, you are my protector. I feel at ease borrowing your strength to kill enemies.”

Jun Wuxie: …

At this moment, he felt Qingyue's body in his arms wriggling slightly, and then the amplitude became larger and larger.

It seemed she was testing the extent of her physical recovery, but this made him quite embarrassed, and his old face flushed slightly.

A beautiful woman like a flower was twisting and turning in his arms, inevitably causing friction between her skin and certain parts of his body. If this action were in a different environment, it would look very ambiguous.

Qingyue seemed to realize it too, and her face turned red immediately. Finding that her body had recovered almost completely, she hurriedly pushed Jun Wuxie and bounced out of his arms.

“Cough, I didn't misunderstand. I know you were trying to recover your condition.”

“God Jun!” Qingyue stomped her feet in embarrassment and said, “I didn't say you misunderstood, you…”

“Ah?” Jun Wuxie got up, patted his clothes, turned and faced away from her, saying, “That… I'll fix the sealing formation, you stay on the side for a while.”

Qingyue didn't respond, lightly biting her red lips, her face full of rosy clouds, but then she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

Since when did my state of mind become so easily disturbed?

Thinking of this, she quickly adjusted her mentality and returned to her usual appearance.

Jun Wuxie concentrated on repairing the formation, and incorporated many of his own sealing runes, constructing layers of sealing formations, merging them, layer upon layer, making the seal here much stronger than before.

“Looking at the scale of the dark creature skeletons here, and this boundary passage, it should be a very small node. With such a small node, I believe dark creatures will not be able to break the seal and cross the boundary from here for a long time!”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he opened his golden blood energy circle and said, “Qingyue, come into my blood energy circle!”

Qingyue stepped forward and walked inside, standing side by side with him.

“Now, let's go vent your anger!”

With a flash of golden light, they disappeared from here, broke through the thick mist, and arrived above the abyss.

As soon as they came out, a rumbling sound came from the foot of the mountain, it was the three strong men obliterating the attack of the formation.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the power of the killing array no longer attacked.

“Qingyue is here, we are about to capture him!”

The old man with the blood of the Human King said with a smile, and the other two strong men also nodded with a smile.

At this moment, they seemed to sense something, looked up at the mountain, and their pupils suddenly shrank violently.

“How… how are you here?!”

His face was full of horror, the confident and smug smile on his face disappeared, cold sweat emerged from his forehead and temples at a speed visible to the naked eye, his body began to tremble, and his lips trembled.

“Aren't you very surprised, aren't you very surprised?”

The smile on Jun Wuxie's face was sunny and bright, revealing his white and neat teeth.
