Thunder and True Sun Fire stand side by side as the most rigid and yang elents between heaven and earth, but when it cos to majesty and explosiveness, the power of thunder is second to none!
Moreover, Su Youyi minutely discovered that the faint blue thunder surrounding the White Tiger was identical to the Heavenly Thunder that Cultivators or demon beasts encounter during their tribulation.
"Is this not ordinary thunder, but rather Heavenly Thunder that contains the wrath of the Heavenly Dao?"
Su Youyi's initially disappointed expression evaporated in an instant. At least from the two abilities that the White Tiger has demonstrated so far, it is already considered remarkable, living up to its na as an Innate Divine Beast.
You must know that Little White is only at the Second Realm in cultivation, and not having reached the Third Realm ans it cannot accept the inheritance of its bloodline. Whether it is the Geng tal Law or the Heavenly Thunder, these are nothing more than the innate powers that Little White was born with.
Under the rampant thunder, the Sword Intent that Su Youyi casually threw out was completely shredded. Now Little White, looking triumphant, hopped around the place where the Sword Intent had been, surrounded by surging thunder, appearing utterly exhilarated.
"The test is considered a pass, but it seems that Little White's spiritual wisdom is not yet fully developed..."
Su Youyi bowed her head and scratched Little White's chin, causing it to instantly forget everything and start rolling around on the ground, kowtowing to her, its forr majestic aura gone without a trace.
Now, Little White probably understands what she and her senior brother say, but its mind is more like that of a child who has just begun to understand human speech, still so ti away from being able to think independently.
At least, white Tiger will have to wait until it advances to the Third Realm and receives the inheritance from its bloodline. Only then will its intellect be greatly enhanced.
Although it should still be childlike in nature, it should be capable of grasping so basic principles and have the ability to think independently. Hopefully, it won't be like now, pouncing at the sight of food... right?
Su Youyi silently watched Little White, which now lay pitifully in front of her, eyeing the World Origin specially given by her senior brother.
Even after seeing that she had no reaction, it anxiously spun around in place and began to awkwardly wag its tail.
"Where did you learn this? Did senior brother teach you? You are an Innate White Tiger, not an Innate Divine Dog!"
Su Youyi, frustrated with the lack of progress, pinched the chubby cheeks of the White Tiger and pulled them to both sides with a bit of force.
Yet even as Su Youyi kneaded its small face into awkward shapes, Little White still wore a silly smile, looking adorable and eager to please.
It's not stupid—this one is its master's Daoist partner. It could snub anyone else, but never her.
After all, death is a minor matter, but cutting off its food supply is a major one!
"Here you go!"
Su Youyi, who truly adored Little White for being innurably more obedient and adorable than old Mr. Orange, casually split off a small portion of World Origin and tossed it to the White Tiger.
"Awooo~"
Little White, happily absorbing the Origin, couldn't help but let out a blissful howl.
"You're going to turn into a pig at this rate! We'll have to watch what we feed you from now on."
A familiar voice ca from behind, and Su Youyi turned around, surprised and delighted.
"Senior brother? Finished with the information?"
Su Youyi asked with a hint of confusion as she watched Liang Yi approach her.
"Yep, and I categorized the information as well. Here, take it."
Liang Yi handed the jade tube to his junior sister. At least this way, the information wouldn't appear too disorganized when she looked through it.
"Is it helpful to understand the situation in the Abyss?"
Su Youyi took the jade tube and asked Liang Yi.
"It's decent. At least the Abyss is no longer a complete fog to us."
Liang Yi recalled the information within the jade tube and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, speaking with a hint of solemnity.
The information that Wan Tinggui sent this ti had no major value; their Shadow Sect had only just been established and began their operations. Trying to probe into significant secrets was as wildly improbable as a daydream.
But the mass of basic information sketched out a real image of the Abyss Cultivation Realm in Liang Yi's mind.
The overall environnt of the Abyss doesn't differ much from that of Mystical chanism Continent.
A crucial point, however, is that the area of the Abyss is exactly the sa as Mystical chanism, yet its population is several tis greater!
Liang Yi, from his previous life, knew all too well the conflicts that arise when the population exceeds the land's capacity.
And in the Cultivation World, this problem is even more severe!
Liang Yi also understood that the higher the realm of Abyss Cultivators, the more attention and restriction they received from the Abyss Will.
No one can break through the Tenth Realm; this is an iron law!
No one can betray the Abyss; this is a principle!
The survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and the strongest reign supre! This is the ethos of the Abyss!
This world starkly contrasts with the Mystical chanism Continent, where petty squabbles are constant. Every day, every mont, there's a massive amount of combat in the Cultivation World.
The weak fall, the strong erge!
So, speaking of the average individual strength of Cultivators, Mystical chanism is not on par with the Abyss.
It's not that the Cultivators of Mystical chanism have fewer conflicts, but rather that the overall atmosphere is different.
In the Abyss, strength is the only truth, and being weak is the ultimate sin! Because of weakness, nobody cares even if you die.
In Mystical chanism, there are Sect Disciples who train themselves, and even if they offend so other power, that power will not allow top Cultivators to act against them.
Because this is an unspoken rule of the entire Cultivation World; if Great Cultivators could casually strike at yet-to-grow geniuses, then it wouldn't take many years for there to be a cultivation gap in the Cultivation World.
But the Abyss is different, where there is no such thing as morality or ethics. If a genius dies, it only proves that their luck and strength were insufficient.
A dead genius is no longer a genius...
Although this can cultivate extraordinarily capable geniuses early on, the number of geniuses who fall in the process of growing is countless.
However, one thing there is no shortage of in the Abyss is people; even if countless geniuses die, no one will regret it because new geniuses will never stop erging!
The hierarchy of superiority and inferiority in the Abyss is extrely strict; the strong always reign supre, while the weak are forever crawling in the dust.
And once the strong fall into mundanity and the weak gain power, their roles are reversed. The once weak will retaliate even more fiercely, imposing upon the new weak a thousand tis the humiliation they once endured.
"What a terrifying place, oppressive, chaotic, desperate."
Su Youyi shook her head and sighed after hearing her senior brother's description of the Abyss. Just listening to the description weighed heavily on her heart. It was no wonder that every Cultivator from the Abyss seed a bit ntally unstable, with a hint of madness about them.
In such an environnt, if a normal Cultivator were to erge, Su Youyi would truly be astonished.
"A population far exceeding the carrying capacity of the land, resources held only in the hands of the strong. No wonder Abyss Cultivators covet the Mystical chanism Continent so eagerly, desperate to conquer this place."
Liang Yi let out a slow breath, finally understanding the purpose behind the Abyss and Abyss Cultivators' encroachnt on Mystical chanism.
Although the current Abyss seems strong, it is a perversion of strength, cultivated at the cost of the lives of countless Cultivators to nurture those who survive.
Continuing this way, even if Mystical chanism does nothing, it's only a matter of ti—thousands or tens of thousands of years—before the Abyss self-destructs due to excessive burdens.
The First Epoch and the Second Epoch repelled the Abyss at the cost of epochal destruction, also consuming the diminishing ti that the Abyss had left.
The contradictions are escalating. If the problems accumulating over two epochs are not resolved, the Abyss will inevitably head towards extinction!
Only by devouring the Origin of Mystical chanism, lding the entire world of Mystical chanism with the Abyss, and pillaging all Origins of the Heavenly Dao, can this problem be alleviated.
"So it seems, the Abyss is like a swarm of locusts. It must keep devouring other worlds to sustain the life of the Abyss. Once it stops, it won't be far from self-annihilation."
"Although it's not very reliable, at least it's a thod."
Liang Yi smiled wryly, knowing that as long as they don't lose the battle line and keep dragging on, the Abyss would collapse first. It was just a matter of ti.
As for another thod, that would be to directly drive the Abyss back with strength, helping the Heavenly Dao of Mystical chanism to eradicate the will of the Abyss once and for all.
This thod is very direct, but it's ridiculously difficult. If the System were to release such a task, the difficulty level would be sky-high.
"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the quest [Abyss·End]!"
[Task Prompt: The war between worlds has no room for retreat or submission. Only the destruction of one side can end it. You side with Mystical chanism, so the Abyss is your mortal enemy. Defeat it, break it, destroy it! When the Abyss perishes, the System will also accomplish its mission, and all truths will surface! Everything that was forgotten, that was concealed, all that you care about will reveal the answers!]
[Task Requirent: Extinguish the will of the Abyss, help the Mystic chanism Heavenly Dao to obtain the Abyss Origin!]
[Task Completion: 3%]
[Task Reward: ???]
Liang Yi suddenly heard a prompt from the System in his mind, the blood-red letters signifying the danger and significance of this task, and the prompt was unlike any before.
Before, the prompt was just a crisp and powerful "ding," followed by the content of the task appearing in his mind to view.
But this ti, a grandiose female voice directly recited the task in his mind. Had Liang Yi not been exceptionally steadfast, a sudden voice popping up in his mind would have scared him witless.
The female voice was undulating and devoid of any emotion—indifferent and ancient, ageless and without discernible origin. The fluctuations of the voice even vaguely reminded Liang Yi of the grand resonations of the Great Dao he had heard before—there was a curious similarity!
But at the mont, Liang Yi really had no ti to concern himself with this voice. The nature of this task was just too shocking, raising towering waves in his heart!
"Senior brother? What's wrong?"
Su Youyi leaned over, confused, blinking her watery eyes as she looked at Liang Yi.
Just now, she noticed her senior brother's body unnaturally jerked, so she was sowhat worried, thinking her senior brother had discovered sothing from the Abyss intelligence.
"I just rembered sothing, you keep looking at the intelligence, I need a mont to myself."
Liang Yi waved his hand, casually advising his junior sister before he turned away and made for the place where he had been making tea earlier.
This task was too frightening; he needed to cool down urgently.
