My carefree life in space

Chapter 253 Dark Abyss

Venerable Lingyun saw her confusion and directly answered her question: "Because you possess the ancient artifact, the Star Mirror."

Lin Shushu was startled and subconsciously scanned the Star Mirror with her divine sense. Although she knew it was an extraordinary object, she never expected it to be so closely related to the Brahma Bowl and the fate of the Azure Cloud Continent.

Venerable Lingyun looked at Lin Shushu with profound eyes and slowly said, "The Star Mirror is a divine artifact passed down from ancient times. It has the magical power to see through time and space and guide spiritual energy. It can resonate with the Brahma Bowl and guide the Brahma Bowl to release its most powerful sealing power."

Mo Ze, who was listening from the side, frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, since the Star Mirror is so important, why did it end up in a ruin on the Flame Sun Continent?"

Venerable Lingyun sighed slightly, "The Star Mirror is very selective in choosing its master. Only by gaining its recognition can it unleash its full power. Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate. Young friend Lin brought the Star Mirror to the Azure Cloud Continent and found the fragments of the Brahma Bowl. This series of coincidences is by no means accidental."

Lin Shushu looked down at the Star Mirror, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She stroked the smooth surface of the Star Mirror, her mind swirling with thoughts. It turned out that her ability to gain the Star Mirror's approval was somehow inextricably linked to the fate of the three continents.

"Senior, even if I possess the Star Mirror, how can I guarantee that I can successfully retrieve the remaining fragments of the Brahma Bowl? Those places all sound extremely dangerous." Lin Shushu raised her head, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Venerable Lingyun smiled slightly, “The Star Mirror can not only resonate with the Brahma Bowl to help you find the exact location of the fragment, but it can also provide you with powerful support at critical moments. Moreover, the courage and wisdom you two showed when facing the powerful demons have convinced me that you are capable of completing this mission.”

There was one more thing Venerable Lingyun didn't mention, but he believed they could figure it out. That was, compared to the rest of the Azure Cloud Continent, the two of them were insignificant figures, meaning that finding the fragments of the Brahma Bowl would encounter far less resistance.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance, seeing unwavering resolve in each other's eyes. They knew this was an adventure that would determine the fate of three continents, but at this moment, they had no other choice.

Seeing their determination, Venerable Lingyun nodded in satisfaction. "I will have my eldest disciple assist you. He is quite familiar with the terrain and dangerous places of the Azure Cloud Continent. With his help, you will have a much smoother journey."

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze felt a warmth in their hearts. They knew that this was not only Venerable Lingyun's trust in them, but also the support of the entire Qingyun Sect.

In the days that followed, Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping began preparing for their upcoming adventure. Everyone knew that unprecedented challenges awaited them, but their unwavering belief burned ever brighter, like a blazing fire.

Meanwhile, deep within the dark abyss, a strange aura permeated the seal of the ancient demon god. The once-solid seal now showed fine cracks, and wisps of black demonic energy seeped out from the cracks, spreading rampantly in the darkness.

The powerful demons noticed this change and were overjoyed. They gathered at the entrance to the Dark Abyss, their faces beaming with mad smiles.

"The seal has finally broken! The Demon God is about to return to the world, and our era is about to begin!" A tall demon general roared excitedly, his voice echoing in the darkness, filled with boundless ambition.

“That’s right! We must speed up our search for the Brahma Bowl. Once we find it, we can break the seal and let the Demon God lead us to rule this continent!” Another demon strategist said urgently, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.

After the initial excitement, the demons returned to the Demon Palace. Inside the dark yet magnificent hall, the current Demon Lord, Hei Sa, sat upon a massive black throne, emanating a chilling demonic aura, his eyes revealing boundless ambition and ruthlessness.

"What's the situation in Lanyue City? Are there any clues about the Brahma Bowl?" Hei Sa's voice was deep and cold, as if it could penetrate every corner of the palace.

A demon subordinate knelt down tremblingly and replied, "Reporting to the Demon Lord, there is currently no news regarding Lanyue City and the Brahma Bowl."

Hei Sa frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes, and slammed his hand on the armrest of the throne. "Useless trash! Send more men to thoroughly investigate Lan Yue City! Don't let any clue slip by!"

"Yes! Lord Demon Lord, please calm down, I will do it right away!" The demon subordinate hurriedly scrambled back, and before he could even leave the hall, another demon subordinate rushed into the hall. Before he even got close, his voice rang out.

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, news from Lanyue City!"

Hei Sa's expression softened slightly, and he coldly uttered a single word: "Speak."

“Demon Lord…we…Lord Blackrock…”

The demon subordinate trembled and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

With a "bang," he was thrown to the ground. It turned out that because he hadn't given a clear answer in a long time, Hei Sa had become impatient and knocked him to the ground with a wave of his hand.

The demon subordinate lying on the ground knew that the Demon Lord was angry, so he dared not delay any longer and told him what he had received.

Upon learning of the failed siege, in which not only did they fail to obtain the Brahma Bowl, but their demon race's top experts also perished there, Hei Sa was furious.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

The joy brought by the loosening of the seal had almost completely vanished. Inside the main hall, the high-ranking demons began to discuss the matter.

"Could it be that those old guys from the human race have come out of seclusion?"

"It's possible, otherwise how could Black Rock have been killed so easily by them?"

"But our informants haven't sent back a single message, which is unusual."

“Those old guys aren’t so easy to find out.”

In the end, the demons unanimously agreed that although they had suffered a temporary setback, the seal on the demon god had been loosened, which was a good thing. What they needed to do now was to find the Brahma Bowl as soon as possible.

To achieve this goal, the demons began a series of actions. They dispatched countless spies to every corner of the Azure Cloud Continent, inquiring about the whereabouts of the fragments of the Brahma Bowl.

They didn't let any possible clue slip by, leaving traces of their exploration even in the most remote villages and the most hidden ruins.

They also intensified their surveillance of the major sects, attempting to find clues from their actions. If any sect disciple was suspected of going out to search for the Brahma Bowl, they would immediately launch an attack, resorting to any means necessary to seize the clues.

For a time, panic gripped the continent, and major sects organized demon-slaying teams, vowing to fight the demons to the death.
