Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Legend has it that this was built by a very ancient kingdom, after it became Musk Reef in the pointed hat.

Time may pass, but it cannot erase the weathered look of the place.

As Jiang Bai entered, it was as if he had passed through an invisible barrier. In a flash, he found himself inside the spiral passage.

From the outside, it appears as a massive spiral well, extending downwards or upwards.

However, from the inside, one can only see a space independent of the ground, with collapsed buildings everywhere and a bottomless void below.

Passing through the huge platform, there is a spiral staircase that winds its way down.

Along the path leading to the stairs, numerous monsters have taken over it.

Jiang Bai tried to fly outwards, but he touched a transparent barrier and was unable to leave the area of ​​this deep spiral.

"It's really weird..."

Jiang Bai couldn't understand how this Abyss Spiral was constructed. To be able to build such a passage to the abyss, the civilization's technological level was definitely no worse than that of Kanria.

Even so, it was still lost to the dust of history.

Since there was no shortcut, Jiang Bai had no choice but to overcome each obstacle one by one.

He charged straight into the horde of monsters, wielding a long sword.

There was no blood splattering as one might expect. Most of these monsters were projections of the earth's veins, and once they died, they simply turned into dust and dissipated.

Jiang Bai discovered that the earth's veins here were quite unusual. Although the elemental power was unaffected, these monsters were much stronger than those he had encountered normally.

Jiang Bai descended layer by layer, each layer revealing a different scene. The surrounding landscape gradually transformed from an indistinct fog into a deep starry sky.

Jiang Bai, holding a long sword, stood at the edge of the spiral staircase, gazing up at the enormous full moon in the sky.

His gaze was somewhat blank. Why was there still a moon here?

Moreover, the further down he went, the brighter and larger the light became in his field of vision.

Isn't it a path to the abyss? Why is there a moon in the abyss?

And that customer, just how deep did they go...?

Jiang Bai continued down the stairs and found the dead customer on one of the steps.

He leaned against a massive stone pillar, staring at the enormous moon with his eyes wide open. The blood that had flowed from his body had dried, and he was lifeless.

He died from excessive blood loss. It was truly remarkable that he could descend to such a depth using only his own strength without the Eye of God.

Unfortunately, they ultimately stopped there.

Looking at the customer, Jiang Bai remained silent for a while, then recited a spell, touched his eyes, and helped him close them.

The client didn't leave any suicide note or anything like that. His backpack contained some food, Mora, and a lot of other odds and ends.

Not everyone is like Cartis; most clients are like that. They don't have any grand wishes, they just want to return to their roots.

Jiang Bai took out tools, tidied his appearance, placed him in a specially made coffin, and used ice mist flowers to freeze the remains.

After leaving this place, he will bury the other person in the place he desires, according to the terms of the contract.

After doing all this, Jiang Bai looked down into the passage.

The client's remains have been collected, and there's no rush for cremation and burial.

Since we're already here, let's go down and take a look.

What exactly does the abyss look like?

The further you go, the more dangerous the monsters become.

They were like gatekeepers on each floor, preventing uninvited guests from advancing.

Jiang Bai didn't know how many floors he had descended; all he could see was the moon outside growing bigger and clearer.

In the end, he reached the bottom.

At the very bottom of this passageway lies a doorway identical to those on Musk Reef.

As Jiang Bai stepped through the door, he felt a momentary dizziness, as if the world was collapsing.

Once they regained their senses, their feet were already firmly planted on solid ground.

There was no inverted sky as I had imagined; all I saw was darkness.

A huge full moon hung high in the sky, decaying buildings were covered in dust, thick gray fog obscured the view, and the ground was a withered yellow, devoid of any life.

Is this the abyss?

Why does this look so familiar?

Jiang Bai looked back, and the gate was still there.

Jiang Bai tried to take off and look down at the area from above, but the elemental energy here was very quiet, and it took a lot of effort to fly up only one meter.

On the contrary, the power known as the Abyss is unusually active.

He remembered that elemental power and abyssal power were in conflict and incompatible. Although he would not be affected by abyssal power, using elemental power here would probably attract some unknown things.

Jiang Bai abandoned the idea of ​​using elemental power, gripped the golden longsword in his hand, and strode out.

Before passing through that door, he had already taken care of himself, ensuring his body was in peak condition to face the unknown.

In the thick fog, he made his way toward the abandoned buildings that were barely visible.

These buildings have existed for an unknown period of time, and there is no trace of human life left. Apart from the solid rock, everything inside has long since weathered into dust, and nothing of any use can be found.

He stood on the top of the building and looked out, where several pairs of scarlet eyes shone brightly in the mist.

The monsters living here sensed the presence of the outside world—the fragrance of living people and blood.

Roar--

These bizarre-looking monsters burst forth, rampaging across the abandoned buildings, their sharp claws tearing through the air, their scarlet mouths emitting excited roars.

rub!

A flash of gleaming light passed by, and the massive head was severed from its neck. However, the headless body did not stop, and continued to thrust its claws toward Jiang Bai.

"Holy crap! He wouldn't die even if his head was cut off!"

Jiang Bai lightly touched the ground with his toes and moved to another high platform.

The monster whose head Jiang Bai had severed shook its body, and a new head quickly grew back.

At the same time, its body also became much lighter, changing from a solid state to a somewhat illusory one.

"As expected of an abyssal monster, it's both bizarre and sinister..."

The beast hounds seemed child's play compared to these demonic creatures.

The three-headed demon swiftly attacked Jiang Bai, but Jiang Bai's figure flashed, his blade flashing continuously, cutting them into pieces.

Even after being reduced to pieces, these monsters continued to struggle until they finally dissipated into black and red smoke.

Before Jiang Bai could do much research, several more demons attacked him.

After Jiang Bai dealt with all the monsters, he kept one small one.

Although smaller than its kind, it's not that much smaller.

It seemed to sense the danger posed by Jiang Bai and was hissing as it retreated.

Chapter 833 The Upside-Down Abyss

"Where do you want to run?"

Jiang Bai stepped on its back, and the force made it fall to the ground.

He wasn't sure if this monster possessed intelligence or was merely driven by survival instincts, so he decided to experiment.

The monster roared at Jiang Bai, its spiked tail lashing out as it tried to attack him. At the same time, it strained with all four limbs, struggling to get up.

Jiang Bai stepped on its tail with his other foot, and plunged the tip of his knife into its head.

The monster cried out in pain, its eyes growing increasingly bloodshot, and its struggles becoming more and more frantic.

"It's quite ferocious..."

Based on current observations, this monster seems to lack intelligence and possess only the instinct to hunt.

He then tested how many times this monster could regenerate its head. The first time, the monster's form was only slightly illusory. By the fourth time its head was severed, its form had faded to nothingness, and it was even difficult to condense another head.

Jiang Bai slashed down again, and the demon let out a shrill roar before its form completely vanished.

As it stands, this monster is extremely dangerous; you might not even die if your head is cut off.

Jiang Bai was not injured by them, and he was unaware of the consequences of being injured, or whether it would cause the power of the abyss to erode him.

In addition, these monsters are extremely fast and have a certain degree of social instinct.

If an ordinary person came here, they would have been doomed right here.

"Are all abyssal monsters this terrifying? Or is the place I'm in just particularly dangerous?"

Jiang Bai thought the latter was more likely.

Ah Mao has fought in the Abyss, and many adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild have also been to the Abyss.

If the abyss were filled with such dangerous monsters, then those adventurers would not survive at all.

Therefore, it's probably just that the place he was in was particularly dangerous.

Jiang Bai looked back at the location of the gate. It stood there all alone. Wouldn't any demons pass through it and enter the Deep Realm Corridor?

Jiang Bai continued walking out and discovered that he was actually on a high mountain.

The towering cliffs pierce the sky, appearing extremely close to it.

That's why the moon appears so huge.

The exposed rocks were grayish-white, devoid of any vegetation, and shrouded in thick fog, making them difficult to see clearly.

Jiang Bai followed the rocky path downhill, where the terrain gradually became flatter.

Following one direction, Jiang Bai walked for an unknown distance until he saw a silvery-white ancient tree.

This silvery-white ancient tree is very similar to those found in the secret realm.

The pure white branches grow from the ground, stretching out without a single leaf, making it impossible to tell whether they are branches or roots.

Jiang Bai still doesn't understand the relationship between the Silver White Ancient Tree and the World Tree.

After hesitating for a moment, he still touched the trunk of the silvery-white ancient tree with his finger.

In the secret realm, touching the silvery-white ancient tree can reveal some memories of the past.

So, what will happen if you touch the silvery-white ancient tree in this abyss?

Jiang Bai's consciousness flowed along the branches of the silver-white ancient tree. This silver-white ancient tree, which spread throughout the entire Teyvat, was enormous and unusual. What Jiang Bai saw at the moment was only a small section of its root extending from the soil.

After a long while, Jiang Bai opened his eyes.

"So that's how it is..."

He did indeed come to the abyss, but not from the source of the abyss's power; it was merely a place corrupted by the abyss.

But such places are also called abysses.

This is the opposite side of Teyvat, the back side of this continent.

From the perspective of the Seven Kingdoms, the space Jiang Bai is in is completely inverted. The reason why Jiang Bai does not feel the difference is simply because the center of gravity here is completely opposite to the center of gravity of the Seven Kingdoms.

The center of gravity of Teyvat is in the thick earth layer. Whether you are on the front or the back, you are standing on the earth with the sky above you.

The sky is merely a phantom encased in an eggshell.

The starry sky we see is not the real universe, but the destiny stars of all those who possessed the Eye of God throughout history.

After their deaths, these holders of the Eye of God transformed into the power that sustained the eggshell, and the Destiny Star remained suspended in the sky for a long time, watched over by those below.

The Spiral Abyss is like a vertical shaft piercing through the entire continent's strata, with the Seven Kingdoms above and the Abyss below.

And the earth's veins are the roots of these silvery-white ancient trees.

Elemental forces and all emotional memories flow within it, and the World Tree is one of its enormous repositories, storing all the memories and past of the seven kingdoms.

As for the anchor point of the earth vein, Jiang Bai did not obtain any relevant information from the silvery-white ancient tree.
