I am a living immortal.

Su Mu and Shenlong looked at each other, and their guesses were probably pretty close.

Of course, this didn't help much with the current situation and could only be considered a topic of conversation after dinner. The remaining eight cave-sky mirage dragons watched, but they knew it was impossible. This time, they were caught off guard; next time, they wouldn't be so lucky.

Emperor Jun will certainly guard against it with all his might.

Losing one cave heaven wouldn't cause serious damage, but it would definitely hurt. Losing one or two more would be a serious blow. The contribution of these cave heavens was indispensable to their ability to maintain such strength in this era.

If it weren't for these caves, Di Jun would definitely not be so free and easy.

Then again, they were truly wealthy. One cave-sky was enough for Mirage Dragon to advance, and they possessed nine, truly worthy of being one of the top-tier beings.

Su Mu sighed, the road ahead was long and arduous.

Fighting against such a being was no easy task. Even though they had the upper hand, that was because the opponent was simultaneously battling countless others. Even under these circumstances, the opponent didn't show much weakness.

What he could do now was to weaken the opponent as much as possible.

Moreover, the three unclear-looking beings he saw in his memory were also very troublesome.

Background. This was the first time Su Mu understood what background meant.

Su Mu and Shenlong were chatting when they reached the top of the Abyss. The most mysterious aspect of this cave world was the Abyss. From above, it looked like a vast, bottomless hole. There were no demons climbing up, but I wondered if Li Shu had already hollowed it out.

Surrounding this abyss, a series of walls, varying in height, encircled it in the center. These walls looked quite old, and were inscribed with formations designed to defend against attacks.

This time, the Mirage Dragon came to clear out the Abyss.

Su Mu peered into the hollow. At the very bottom lay the collective mass of the Golden Crow's negative emotions. He was incredibly violent, and this place had become a dumping ground for the emotions of the Cave Heaven World. Negative emotions floating around in the world were constantly drawn to this massive source, converging towards it.

In Su Mu's eyes, this place was a vortex, sucking the entire world in. On the other side, which was difficult for ordinary people and even cultivators to perceive, countless black air currents continued to converge here.

Eventually, it combined with Jinwu's resentment before his death, which produced an unprecedented chemical reaction.

This overwhelming emotion has even impacted reality. Furthermore, this world, originally created by the Golden Crow, gave rise to demons within this environment. These demons, filled with resentment towards all living things, descended upon the world of the living. Consequently, these demons manifest various negative emotions, such as greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt, which can even affect cultivators.

"This is a pretty good world circulation system. Aside from the fact that some sect leaders have manipulated things and caused things to get a little out of control, it's actually more beneficial than harmful to the development of the world as a whole. Negative emotions need an outlet, and those demons, rather than demons, are the embodiment of the world's negative emotions."

"Being able to be killed is much easier to deal with than having emotions that cannot be captured."

"This world has a large population, and not everyone is happy. These emotions are bound to arise. Ordinary people have these emotions, and the emotions are absorbed by the Abyss and condensed into demons. The demons harass ordinary people, and the immortal cultivators eliminate the demons, and ordinary people worship and support the immortal cultivators. This is a very good cycle system. Are you sure you want to eradicate the Abyss?" Su Mu looked at the mirage dragon, wondering whether this system was determined at the beginning of the world's birth, or whether it was the optimal solution that was stumbled upon by accident.

At least the world is currently in a state of equilibrium. Throwing this balance rashly could lead to better or worse outcomes, and these are all uncontrollable.

Mirage Dragon stared at Yuangu and nodded. He knew Su Mu was right, but if he stayed, if he encountered an invasion again, this would be an important breakthrough point.

Besides, Shenlong would rather build a new system than stick with the old one. He didn't know what traps the other party might plant in this system. Rather than patching it up, it was better to start from scratch.

Emperor Xi involves many things, so it needs to be postponed.

But the matter of Yuangu will not have much impact in the short term. As for the long term, he will definitely build a new cycle.

From this point of view, the Mirage Dragon is quite courageous.

"Since you have made up your mind, just go for it." Su Mu said with a smile.

"Wait, why are you saying that?" Shenlong felt that Su Mu hadn't said anything good. Now was not the time to dwell on this, so Shenlong raised his hand.

The Abyss seemed to sense a mortal threat, and countless negative emotions surged forth. A mournful cry echoed from the deepest depths of the Abyss, and a giant bird, clad in pitch black, rushed out from the dark void.

Mirage Dragon snorted coldly: "Death struggle!"

The mirage dragon that now controls the cave heaven is no longer the same as before, and his words are followed by actions. He pressed down heavily, and a large golden hand pressed down heavily on the pitch-black Golden Crow.

The negative emotions in his body crumbled under the golden light, and he let out sharp wails. He continued to press down, and the negative emotions that surged up were completely cut off.

"Boom!!!" A loud noise rang out, and the cultivators standing on the giant wall all turned their gazes. A golden flash of light descended from the sky into the abyss, and the resounding sound blew several people away.

They gazed in horror toward the Abyss, expecting another great demon to emerge. Instead, they witnessed this: a golden wave washed over the Abyss, instantly annihilating the demons within. Within a golden palm, a giant, pitch-black bird struggled feebly, its negative emotions constantly being purged, revealing its dark golden feathers. However, due to the length of time it had taken, even complete purification would not restore its original form.

And this piece of soul fragment did not become quiet after being purified. The tyranny still existed and had become a habit.

Mirage Dragon felt a little sorry, but he finally steeled himself and exerted his strength. This soul, tainted by negative emotions, was completely shattered and disappeared from the world.

The originally unfathomable abyss was smoothed by the golden light at this moment.

The hole began to close little by little until it disappeared completely, and the abyss was swept into the dustbin of history.

After completing all this, Shenlong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on guard against Di Jun's back-up plan, which was likely hidden in the Abyss Valley. Now it seemed that he had been worrying too much.
