He paused for a mont and continued, "But after he ca out of the Demon Abyss, in just a few hundred years, he established such a vast force like the Black and White Temple.
This speed is simply astounding.
You must know, for a cultivator in the Primordial Spirit Realm to establish a force spanning several Immortal Domains, it would typically require tens of thousands of years of accumulation."
"So, what did you discover?" Lu Qing asked.
Qiu Ruofeng sighed, "To be honest, we haven’t discovered much.
The founder of the Black and White Temple acts with extre secrecy, rarely appearing in public.
We spent thousands of years and countless undercover agents to only find so superficial information."
He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze solemn, "In the end, we reached a possibility that the founder of the Black and White Temple might have been possessed by the forces of the Demon Abyss."
"Possessed?" Lu Qing frowned slightly.
Qiu Ruofeng nodded, "Yes, through so secret channels, we gathered sparse information about the founder.
It’s said that after returning from the Demon Abyss, his personality changed completely, becoming unrecognizable.
He no longer visits any of his forr relatives or friends.
He never sets foot again in his original sect.
There are even rumors that he personally killed the master who ca to visit him."
He paused and continued, "Moreover, he rarely appears in public. Even when he does, he’s always shrouded in a black mist, never showing his true face.
So say that beneath the black mist, it’s no longer the face of a human."
"What’s even more suspicious is that every once in a while, he reenters the Demon Abyss.
Each ti he goes in, it’s for at least decades, sotis even hundreds of years.
And every ti he erges, the Black and White Temple makes significant moves, whether it’s expanding its influence, seizing resources, or capturing cultivators."
Qiu Ruofeng took a deep breath and said gravely, "We suspect he has always maintained so connection with the Demon Abyss.
In fact, he may have beco a part of it, a puppet of that Power of Darkness."
Lu Qing said nothing, just listened quietly.
He recalled the heart and spirit turbulence he sensed before and the black and white temple he calculated.
That temple can block his deductions; it clearly possesses extraordinary power.
That is certainly not an ordinary Magical Treasure, at least not an ordinary Spiritual Artifact, as it should be difficult to block his calculations.
If it is indeed as Qiu Ruofeng said, that the founder of the Black and White Temple was possessed by the Demon Abyss’ power, then everything makes sense.
That Power of Darkness, being able to corrode an entity like Xuanhua, could naturally also corrode a re cultivator in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Qiu Ruofeng continued, "Since the rise of the Black and White Temple, that founder rarely shows up.
In the past tens of thousands of years, he hasn’t appeared at all; no one knows the extent of his power.
But according to our observations, there is always a feeling that the Black and White Temple is brewing so huge conspiracy."
He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze full of deep concern.
"Their power is expanding too quickly, unnaturally so.
Moreover, the resources they seize, the cultivators they capture, the numbers are imnsely large.
Where have all these resources and people gone, and what are they being used for?
We’ve investigated for a long ti, but found nothing."
"But one thing is certain, once this conspiracy unfolds, it could shake the entire starry sky, perhaps even relate to the catastrophe foresaw by our founder."
Lu Qing nodded.
This aligns with his previous suspicions.
The Black and White Temple had originally sent so many Unity Realm Stage old fiends to intercept him, even going so far as to use an Array Map, clearly determined to succeed.
Now it seems that revenge is not their only motive; they probably have other plans.
Qiu Ruofeng looked at him earnestly, "For this reason, our Netherworld Palace has been secretly unfavorable towards the Black and White Temple.
Although on the surface we avoid conflict, in private, we’ve been monitoring their every move.
However, their power is too strong, and the founder too mysterious, we dare not act recklessly."
He paused again and said, "Fellow Daoist, the Black and White Temple is already powerful, and the temple master is even more mysterious and unpredictable. We don’t know what divine abilities they possess, so be extrely cautious and avoid reckless confrontation."
He looked at Lu Qing with sincere eyes.
"You, Fellow Daoist, have combined nine Great Dao in harmonization, with limitless potential.
Your cultivation grows with each step, significantly increasing your power.
Perhaps in the future, this starry sky might need you to save it.
So, don’t act on impulse due to personal grudges."
After listening, Lu Qing smiled lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu overpraises," he said calmly, "I am rely at the Initial Stage of Harmony; how can I talk about saving the starry sky?
There are countless powerful beings in this starry sky, many stronger than , so how could it be my turn to stand out?"
Qiu Ruofeng hastily replied, "Fellow Daoist is too modest..."
Lu Qing waved his hand, interrupting him.
"However, I ca here this ti to thank Fellow Daoist Qiu for clarifying things for . What you’ve told has been very helpful." He stood up, "Now that our deal is complete, it’s ti for to take my leave."
Qiu Ruofeng was slightly taken aback but quickly rose.
"You’re leaving already?" he asked, sowhat surprised, "Won’t you stay a few more days? This elder still wishes to consult you on so cultivation matters..."
Lu Qing shook his head, "No need, I have affairs at ho and cannot stay long."
Seeing this, Qiu Ruofeng could not insist and said, "If that’s the case, this elder won’t keep you.
Thank you for your help this ti; if you ever need anything from our Netherworld Palace, feel free to ask.
