Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 746: Chapter 330:

The bizarre purple-red cave formed completely in just a few breaths, emanating an aura of ominous terror.

"This... why does this aura feel like the legendary forbidden area of the Purple Moon Abyss? Is the secret realm in Falling Star Valley related to the Purple Moon Emperor?"

Someone noticed something and couldn’t help but speak up.

The Purple Moon Emperor, an ancient supreme being worshipped in the Moon God Manor, was rumored to have defeated nine ancient supreme beings on the day of his ascension.

In that battle, the sun and moon lost their light, and the nine supreme beings were all suppressed and fell, ultimately creating the Eastern Domain’s famous forbidden territory - the Purple Moon Abyss.

Legend has it that in the Purple Moon Abyss reside the remnants of supreme beings suppressed by the Purple Moon Emperor, making it the most fearsome place for Hongze.

"This secret realm is getting more and more absurd, and places similar to the Purple Moon Abyss are appearing. People from the Moon God Manor should be arriving too."

"And then there’s Luo Cong from the Dream Immortal Palace, and Ling Xiao from the Destiny Court of the Dawn Moon Dynasty... This place might become the biggest hotspot in a millennium throughout the Penglai region!"

...

"What is this?" Xu Guang asked.

He didn’t recognize the Purple Moon Abyss, but the terrifying power emanating from it clearly told him that this was beyond his capacity to tread on.

Ling Xiao’s lips moved slightly, "Purple Moon Abyss..."

Xu Guang’s eyes widened suddenly.

Purple Moon Abyss!?

One of the three great forbidden territories of the Eastern Domain?

During his time at the Demon Vanquishing Academy, besides cultivation, he had crammed all sorts of cultivation knowledge and had some understanding of the three forbidden territories.

They were the Purple Moon Abyss, the Mist Sea Tribulation, and the Eastern Emperor Domain.

The Mist Sea Tribulation was not the Mist Sea he had visited before, but a connected area, and Xu Guang suspected that the endless land of corpses he saw in the Mist Sea’s eye was a projection of the Mist Sea Tribulation.

He suspected the Tomb Raider Immortal Venerable was tomb raiding, and that the tomb might be located within the Mist Sea Tribulation.

The sea tribe went to great lengths to occupy the Celestial Capital, their biggest objective being to explore the Mist Sea Tribulation.

And the Purple Moon Abyss was formed by the intersecting remnants of the nine supreme beings cut down by the Purple Moon Emperor and further suppressed by him, creating a place of terror.

As for the Eastern Emperor Domain, it was even more renowned as a place from which no one returned, rumored to be where the ancient Eastern Emperor fell, with not even the Eastern Emperor leaving a lineage behind.

It was the most terrifying forbidden territory in all of Hongze!

"Immortal Venerable Han Cuo was among the top tier of supremes, achieving accolades against ancient cosmic emperors, and once ventured deep into the Purple Moon Abyss on his quest for the Dao. It seems the rumors are true... his sitting dissolution here has drawn attention from within the Purple Moon Abyss."

Ling Xiao’s voice came again.

Xu Guang squinted his eyes.

Having once journeyed through the Mist Sea, and recalling the great terrors he witnessed there, he naturally held a deep reverence for forbidden territories.

"This is not the real Purple Moon Abyss?"

Ling Xiao shook her head slightly, "The true Purple Moon Abyss lies far in the Youzhou of the Eastern Domain, countless miles from Penglai. This should be a projection."

"But do not be careless; the monsters within the Purple Moon Abyss can affect reality through this projection."

"What should we do?" Xu Guang asked with a frown.

They had sworn a Heart Demon Vow and were certain Ling Xiao would not attack them in Falling Star Valley, but he did not want to take undue risks.

Though the Refining Pattern Master’s inheritance was valuable, it was not his only path to improvement.

"The appearance of this Purple Moon Abyss projection is no coincidence," Ling Xiao looked toward the deep cave, her eyes beneath the veil seemingly swirling with stars.

"Perhaps, with this projection, we can enter the secret realm ahead of time."

Xu Guang’s frown deepened.

The Emperor’s forbidden territory, unpredictable and perilous.

The path of cultivation is already one that defies heaven, filled with risks at every step.

Things that gamble with life naturally require greater caution, and he felt some hesitation arise in his heart.

Ling Xiao seemed to perceive Xu Guang’s reluctance and spoke softly, "Have you not noticed that the power of demonic thought within you has some connection with this projection?"

Xu Guang was taken aback instantly, then quickly realized it.

He closed his eyes and sensed.

The demonic thought coral within him became exceedingly restless under the ever-spreading purple-red bizarre aura of the Purple Moon Abyss, and there was indeed a subtle connection between them.

This...

"Demonic thought originates from the forsaken by the heavens, the fundamental power of many forbidden territories. I don’t know how you control that power, but everything has its reasons. If you don’t want to become a puppet of some forbidden territory without understanding why, I suggest you figure it out thoroughly."

Ling Xiao spoke again.

"You mean that the cause of the formation of forbidden territories is being forsaken by heaven?"

Ling Xiao nodded, her gaze towards Xu Guang growing increasingly curious.

"Supremes nearly master all the rules of the world; upon their fall, the authority of the rules returns to the world. The supreme remnants, unwilling to accept, channel the power of the Void Realm, distorting to form the force that is the source of demonic thought. I’ve never seen anyone like you, mastering demonic thought, yet with such feeble strength... of course, compared to the forces within forbidden territories."

In fact, saying so much, her intention was just to have Xu Guang join her.

The appearance of the Purple Moon Abyss projection, containing forbidden demonic thought power, while not entirely the same as Xu Guang’s, might allow him to exhibit extraordinary powers with his possession of demonic thought.

Xu Guang naturally knew where his forsaken demonic thought power originated, but he did not explain.

He simply stood there, pondering.

Should he venture into the Purple Moon Abyss projection with Ling Xiao?

He did not completely trust Ling Xiao’s words, but the longing from the demonic thought coral made him ponder whether to enter.

"Alright, but we cannot delve too deep. Let’s observe the situation as much as possible."
