All those who heard these words suddenly became serious.

Even though countless years had passed and the anger of the past had been eroded by time, when Qingqiu Mingli brought up the matter again, her body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

"At that time, the Abyss Demons and Abyss Cultivators continued to enter the Mystical Mechanism Continent from the Abyss through the Abyss Gate opened by insiders. To prevent the Abyss Will from leaving Lonely Moon Valley to open the Abyss Gate elsewhere, after we sent out the news, we had no choice but to lock ourselves in our mountain gate, using the power of our sect alone to resist the Abyss."

Everyone present had complex expressions because Qingqiu Mingli, who made such a decision, was almost determined to die by sealing the mountain gate, and the outcome, naturally, goes without saying.

Su Youyi looked around at the ruins of the sect, the peculiarly colored reddish-brown soil under her feet, and thought about the fragment of a Secret Realm that was inexplicably left, and fully understood how these scenes came to be.

Zhou Yuqing remained silent. To use the power of one sect to resist the entire Abyss, at that time, the path of cultivation had just fallen into extinction, and Great Perfection was already the end for cultivators. However, the cultivators from the Abyss were not restricted by the Heavenly Dao, and there were even Abyss Cultivators from the previous epoch; such a confrontation was almost like a meaningless suicide.

But in order to buy some time for the whole Mystical Mechanism Continent, Qingqiu Mingli still chose to fight to the death immediately rather than live a cowardly life.

Such an act was enough to earn her respect!

Zhou Zuixi, recalling the trace of Abyssal Aura he felt from the projection of the Abyss Will, now understood that the Abyssal Aura must have leaked from here.

"Sigh..."

Liang Yi sighed deeply, wondering how they were supposed to fight when the other side moved the Resurrection Pool direct to their crystal home. That they could change it at all made Liang Yi feel it was incredible.

"Ling Si, although usually careless and out of tune, still has the sense of responsibility of a chief disciple during such times. Despite being pursued by the sect for so long, the two never felt any separation from the sect even at a moment when it faced life and death."

"So... how was the Abyss Gate finally sealed?"

Su Youyi hesitated for a moment, but still asked this question that might make Qingqiu Mingli's mood sink.

Qingqiu Mingli did not directly answer, but turned to look at the jellyfish-shaped Blood Demon behind her.

Everyone's gaze shifted slightly, and a guess suddenly emerged in their minds.

"Could it be?"

"That's right, when there were only a few of us left in Lonely Moon Valley, Ling Si, with the strength of the Sixth Realm, forcibly killed two mid-Seventh Realm Abyss Cultivators and ultimately died from exhaustion."

"After Ling Si's death, Luo Shu no longer had any attachments to this world and faced this situation with the only thing he could do: expend everything to protect his loved ones and his mountain gate. But when neither of these were left, there was nothing for him to cling to."

"Eventually, he decided to sacrifice himself to give the Blood Demon full control to see if it could open up a path of life in this desperate situation."

Liang Yi, having thought it through, did not expect this method would be used and could only sigh internally: Luo Shu is a true man!

Liu Rouxin and the Blood Demon within her were also filled with admiration.

Everyone present, only Blood Demon, when hearing Qingqiu Mingli describe the situation faced by Lonely Moon Valley, knew that only the Blood Demon could turn the tide, but the cost of such a choice was not something just anyone could afford.

Absorbing the essence blood of an entire Super Force of cultivators and countless fallen Abyss cultivators, the strength of this Blood Demon was beyond anyone's imagination at that time.

Feng Luoshu only wanted to see if he could carve a path of life for the elders and disciples of Lonely Moon Valley, to ensure that Lonely Moon Valley's legacy would not come to an end.

However, after witnessing the might of the Blood Demon, the few remaining figures of Lonely Moon Valley did not choose to flee. Instead, they exchanged smiles and dragged the Abyss Cultivators along to sacrifice their essence blood to the Blood Demon!

The Blood Demon, following Feng Luoshu's last orders, did not betray his oath. This might have been the first time he truly awakened since his birth, and he showed the world—who had not noticed him—how terrifying a Blood Demon could be!

In less than half a day, he soared directly from the Sixth Realm to the Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm, singlehandedly blocking the entrance of the Abyss Gate, slaughtering anyone who approached, whether alone or in pairs!

Moreover, due to his inherent talents, the Blood Demon only grew stronger in battle. His realm might still remain at the Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm, yet his strength continued to grow non-stop, and he would never tire!

Facing such a rascal, even the Abyss found itself helpless when only one gate was opened. It couldn't achieve a full-scale invasion or total dominance; sending more cultivators would merely be delivering fodder to the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon rejoiced, realizing that he didn't need to move an inch; he only needed to pin down the Abyss Gate, and food would continuously be delivered to him!

Where else could he find such a good deal?

This Blood Demon didn't have the blood phobia that Xue Youyou suffered from; he quite liked blood, but his inherent extreme laziness suppressed any desire he might have had to hunt outside.

Now that others were bringing food right to his mouth, why wouldn't the Blood Demon eat it?

After all, the Abyss Intent also couldn't corrode him; even if it turned him into an Abyss Demon, he would still remain indiscriminate in his killing, not discerning between friend and foe.

Just like this, the original plan to fire the first shot in invading the Mystical Mechanism Continent was directly thwarted.

By sacrificing their sect, Lonely Moon Valley served as a warning to Bu Tianzong and Purple Cloud Sect, significantly delaying the opening of the second Abyss Gate, allowing Mystical Mechanism Continent ample time to prepare.

"So, you mean to say, right below this guy is that Abyss Gate?"

Zhou Zuixi was startled, looking at the true form of the Blood Demon with surprise. But even with his vision, he couldn't see through the area blocked by the Blood Demon.

"So, this flower, what does it have to do with those two?"

Yu Wei timidly raised his hand to ask.

Although it seemed somewhat atmosphere-breaking to ask this question in the midst of such a somber air, Yu Wei really couldn't hold back.

"This flower, is something Feng Luoshu picked up inadvertently when he formed a Dao companion bond with Lingsi while we were chasing him."

Qingqiu Mingli had only just recognized this flower.

After all, neither she nor Lingsi had paid attention to it back then; it was just a random wildflower picked up along the way.

So when she saw this peculiar white flower again, which seemed divine and whose details even she couldn't discern, after an entire epoch, Qingqiu Mingli didn't recognize it at first.
