My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

But in the eyes of the Lord of the Abyss at that time, he was just an ant in the realm of all laws with some strange means.

But he finally chose to let Zhong Qing go, and even listened to Zhong Qing and "invested" in Zhong Qing.

All this seems unreasonable, but fundamentally, it is because the Lord of the Abyss saw possibilities in Zhong Qing.

An existence that was clearly born in the first heaven, but was not tainted by the curse.

If not, how could he possibly invest in Zhong Qing? A person with a curse is doomed to never become an immortal. No matter how much Zhong Qing cultivates, he can only be a Great Emperor. How can he help him?

As for why he did not curse, even though the Lord of the Abyss did not know the reason, he knew that Zhong Qing was extraordinary.

After all, that curse is not an ordinary existence.

After receiving the answer from the Lord of the Abyss, Zhong Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he never felt that he had any curse on him and the system never mentioned it, who could guarantee that the curse was not too high-level and too hidden for him to detect?

But he did not completely relax. The reason why he himself was not cursed was probably due to the system, but his other disciples who were born in the first level should all be cursed.

Just listen to the Lord of the Abyss continue speaking.

"As for why Fengtian Palace was cursed...it was because someone once wanted to sever the future of all races."

"Originally, the curse was on all races in the Nine Heavens."

"But later, a group of powerful people joined forces to seal the curse in Fengtian Palace to prevent it from spreading to the Second Heaven."

"As for cursing the existence of Fengtian Palace..."

At this point, the Lord of the Abyss's giant lava eye shrank slightly: "This is not something you can understand."

"I'm not exaggerating. The source of the curse is truly beyond common sense. Even within the Nine Heavens, simply mentioning the source's true name will taint you with the curse."

"So above the Second Heaven, anyone who knows the true name of a being will choose to seal or erase their memory of that true name in order to prevent the curse from appearing on higher levels."

"If you want to know, you must at least reach the same level as I did back then."

"so smart?"

Zhong Qing was surprised and shocked when he heard this.

Since he traveled through time, he has seen many things beyond his imagination.

But what the Lord of the Abyss said was beyond imagination. Just mentioning his name would result in a curse, and even True Immortals would have their memories sealed.

Is there such a terrifying existence in this world? Is it a person? Or a certain group of people? Or an artifact?

But rather than curiosity, Zhong Qing wanted to know more about how to lift the curse.

Hearing Zhong Qing's question, the Lord of the Abyss sneered.

"As you asked at the beginning, have you ever thought about why I am in the First Heaven? Why am I so seriously injured?"

"For a True Immortal, what kind of injury can't be recovered from even after hundreds of thousands or millions of years?"

Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is it because of the curse?"

The Lord of the Abyss said slowly, "Those below the level of a True Immortal, once tainted by the curse, will have their path to immortality severed, and will never be able to achieve immortality again."

"For beings above the level of True Immortal, if they are tainted by the curse, their fundamental principles will be polluted. Not only will their cultivation no longer be able to improve, but they will even continue to decline and regress."

"However, with my level of cultivation back then, I also had a certain degree of resistance to the curse. Even if I couldn't completely eliminate it, I wouldn't be affected too much."

"Until... I witnessed the source of the curse with my own eyes."

"At that moment, the curse erupted both internally and externally, and even if I tried my best, I couldn't suppress it."

"In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to destroy my entire body and sever the contaminated part of the origin rules."

"The consequence is what you see today."

"The physical body is not so difficult to deal with. For a True Immortal, it is not impossible to abandon it, but the damage to the original rules is difficult to repair."

"That's not going to recover with time."

"Not only that, the flesh and origin rules that I tore apart also contain an extremely strong curse power. If no one suppresses it, once it erupts, half of the first heaven will probably be barren."

"So, I had no choice but to seal myself here, on the one hand to recover from my injuries, and on the other hand to suppress the cursed body and the part of the origin rules within it."

Zhong Qing nodded, finally understanding.

He looked at the Lord of the Abyss with sympathy.

Originally, his impression of this old man was that he was generous.

I didn't expect it to be so miserable.

It’s better to be less aggressive with him in the future.

"So how can I help you?"

Zhong Qing asked.

The giant lava eye said calmly, "If you want to help me, your current strength is not enough. You have to wait until you truly break through to the True Immortal stage."

Zhong Qing nodded: "Then wait until I break through to the True Immortal realm before coming back."

The Lord of the Abyss paused for a moment, and suddenly, something was thrown out from the magma and flew towards Zhong Qing, who caught it with ease.

"Since you are going to the Immortal Alliance, take this with you."

“This is my last treasure.”

Zhong Qing habitually ignored the last sentence and asked, "What is this?"

What fell into his hand was a palm-sized bronze mirror shining with golden light.

"This is the Sky-Changing Mirror."

"Find a place you consider safe, activate the bronze mirror, and reflect the scenery of that place into the mirror."

"From now on, when you encounter danger, activate the bronze mirror again, and you will instantly change space and return to the place where you were previously reflected in the mirror."

"Even if you are in the eighth heaven, you can return to the first heaven in an instant."

After the words fell, the Lord of the Abyss' tone became heavy.

"Remember, in the Immortal Alliance, some people are trustworthy, and some...be careful!"
