Chapter 1765: What is Black Abyss?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What is that strange black energy exactly?”

Lin Huang asked Eternity Fire.

Eternity Fire conveyed its thoughts quickly, “It’s the Abyssal energy a powerhouse left behind…”

“An Abyssal energy that’s so active and has such powerful contamination ability hiding in a major dao-level powerhouse’s body silently. I’m afraid only an entity that surpasses dao-level can do something like that,” Lin Huang mumbled softly to himself.

If not for his powerful Dao seals and the suppression from Eternity Fire, he would be infected and turned into an Abyssal creature after struggling for three days at most.

Xia Bing’s face flashed through Lin Huang’s mind as he thought up to this point.

If that girl killed other major dao-level Raiders and retrieved their memories like he did, she might end up in trouble as well.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the voice transmission charm Xia Bing gave him and left a voice transmission by inserting Divine Telekinesis into it.

“If you discover major dao-level Raiders, don’t read their memories rashly after you kill them. You’d trigger a strange energy that’s incredibly infectious. It can turn a major dao-level cultivator into an Abyssal creature.”

“Got it. I haven’t discovered any at the moment. Have you?”

Xia Bing replied almost immediately.

“Yan Jun from Royal,” Lin Huang answered anyway after a moment of hesitation.

Xia Bing’s question was the reason why he hesitated. The reason being was that Yan Jun had mastered over 300,000 Dao seals. With the level of ability that he revealed to her, he was not Yan Jun’s match at all.

Xia Bing fell into silence for a moment, but soon sent over another message.

“You triggered that strange energy that you mentioned?”

Lin Huang fell into a long period of silence when he saw the reply.

He guessed that Xia Bing had actually asked three questions when she sent that message.

The first one—Did you kill Yan Jun?

The second one—Did you read Yan Jun’s memories?

The third one—Did you trigger the contamination of the strange energy?

“I did trigger it, but I wasn’t infected.”

Lin Huang’s answer was smart. It contained many different meanings as well.

The first one—I killed Yan Jun.

The second one—I read Yan Jun’s memories.

The third one—I triggered the strange energy, but I was not infected.

Xia Bing fell into a moment of silence again.

“That’s great. What did you obtain?”

She did not dwell on how Lin Huang had killed Yan Jun or how he had handled that contaminated energy.

Lin Huang thought about it and decided to tell her.

“From his memories, I’ve verified his identity as a Raider. I saw him killing a major dao-level and a minor dao-level explorer. However, I didn’t obtain much information about their mission this time.”

“I’ve only discovered that his authorization level was higher than Ao Yu and the rest, and he indeed knew their real objective for this trip into the mystic territory.”

“Just as I was going to probe the objective, the strange energy was triggered. It destroyed all of the memory images in Yan Jun’s head almost instantly, and it infected me through my God’s soul energy.”

“I’ve only retrieved two keywords in the end—Black Abyss and sacrifice. Do you have any ideas regarding these two terms?”

Xia Bing only replied much later after reading through Lin Huang’s messages carefully.

“I’m not too sure about the sacrifice portion, but regarding the Black Abyss… That’s what we call the deepest part of the abyss. The reason being is that the deepest part of the abyss is pitch-black. The kind of darkness that strips away all of your senses. All of the probing techniques and Divine Telekinesis are useless there. However, I’m not sure if the Black Abyss that you’re talking about is the same thing. It might mean something else.”

After reading Xia Bing’s reply, Lin Huang suddenly had a bizarre thought after processing the information for a moment.

“Connecting what you said with the keywords, is it possible that they want to offer a sacrifice to the monsters in the Black Abyss?”

“There is a legend of an Abyssal Lord in the Black Abyss. Indeed, the legend has spread across the universe, but nobody knows what exactly is in the Black Abyss. The reason for that is that everyone who attempted to explore the Black Abyss in the past ended up staying inside until now. No one has come out alive.”

Although Xia Bing did not deny Lin Huang’s bizarre line of thought directly, what she said actually showed that she did not believe that there was such a thing as an Abyssal Lord.

“Oh yeah, can you give me a thorough description of the strange energy in Yan Jun’s body?” It was unknown whether Xia Bing wanted to change the topic or whether there was some other reason behind it when she suddenly asked that question.

Lin Huang replied directly, “It was an active black liquid with a high level of contamination ability. It could corrode all kinds of forces, including Odylic Force, spiritual energy and telekinesis, as well as assimilate them to strengthen itself. Not only that, it had a certain level of consciousness. It was difficult to remove it… I suspect that it was an Abyssal energy, but it was more infectious than Abyssal energy.”

“Judging by your description, it seems to be a more powerful energy,” Xia Bing replied quickly.

“That’s why I suspect that the energy in Yan Jun’s body was left behind by a powerhouse that surpasses dao-level. Not only that, there’s a high chance that the powerhouse came from the abyss,” Lin Huang told her his speculation.

“There’s a certain logic to your speculation.” Xia Bing had finally agreed with Lin Huang’s speculation this time. However, she soon asked a question that Lin Huang was unwilling to answer, “Do you have a technique to avoid the contamination of the energy?”

Seeing that Lin Huang fell into silence, Xia Bing instantly realized that he did not really want to answer that question. “I don’t mean to pry. I just want to know if you can help me read their memories if I run into major dao-level Raiders over the next few days.”

Lin Huang did not stay silent this time. Instead, he answered quickly, “I can, but I can’t guarantee the amount of memories I can retrieve. I’ll just give it my best shot.”

“Don’t push yourself, just retrieve as much as you can, even if you only obtain one more keyword,” Xia Bing continued, “About the Raiders’ spies, the chances of getting to the bottom of it during this trip in the mystic territory are low. Just do your best.”

The two chatted for a little while more before Lin Huang put away the voice transmission charm.

What he was grateful for was that Xia Bing did not dwell on many things throughout the entire conversation.

For instance, how did he defeat Yan Jun and how did he avoid the invasion of the strong energy…

She would stop appropriately if there was something that she was suspicious of instead of prying further.

However, she chose to believe him and was willing to trust him to retrieve the memories of those she found later on.

Initially, he only wanted to remind her not to read the major dao-level Raiders’ memories rashly.

Never had he expected to get much more useful feedback through the communication. They had even agreed to collaborate..
