Seeing Ye Yao's stance, ready to fight the pervert to the end.
Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say.
"What are you thinking about?"
He sighed helplessly.
"I called you here hoping to talk about the Abyss with you."
"As I promised before, if your answer satisfies me, I can consider letting you go."
This statement finally eased Ye Yao's tense heart a little.
She looked at Ye Yun intently.
"You mean... really?"
"A promise is a promise."
Ye Yun nodded and chuckled, "You don't have to disbelieve me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here chatting with you, but torturing you for the information."
In this Heavenly Domain, there are many ways to extract information from others.
However, if possible, Ye Yun naturally preferred a more harmonious approach.
Ye Yao seemed somewhat moved and nodded slightly.
"What do you want to know?"
Seeing her open up, Ye Yun immediately asked.
"I hope you can tell me what the Imaginary Abyss and the Abyss are, respectively?"
After all, Feng Qingxian was secretive about the former and didn't mention the latter at all, so he had to start with Ye Yao.
Watching her ponder, Ye Yun added calmly.
"I advise you not to try to lie. I don't know nothing about you, such as your Abyss Sacred Body and pseudo-Abyss bloodline."
These words made Ye Yao's eyes widen in disbelief.
"You... how do you know?"
It was clear she was shocked, as even those who captured her hadn't figured this out.
Otherwise, they would never have sold her.
But this person in front of her had seen through it so easily?!
Ye Yun smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about how I know. Just answer my questions honestly."
Ye Yao fell silent for a long time, then finally spoke slowly.
"Simply put, the Imaginary Abyss is a special space surrounded by the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, a place where all sorts of sins and alien races gather."
"And to enter it, one must cross the extremely dangerous Sea of Imaginary Numbers."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow.
"Dangerous? How dangerous?"
Ye Yao pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that one needs to be at the True Saint realm or above, otherwise, being exposed to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers will lead to immediate destruction by the storms there."
"Even cultivators at the True Saint realm cannot expose themselves for long. Most of them require extremely high-quality flying ships to cross the Sea of Imaginary Numbers."
After listening, Ye Yun nodded, thinking to himself.
So that's how it is. No wonder some things were only discussed after reaching the True Saint realm. It was because of this.
Then, he looked at Ye Yao and continued to ask.
"What about the Abyss?"
This question instead made Ye Yao look puzzled.
"Are you referring to our Abyssal race, or the place called the Abyss?"
This piece of information made Ye Yun's eyebrows twitch, but he calmly said.
"Introduce both."
Ye Yao nodded and began to explain.
"Our Abyssal race is nothing special. Look at me, we are humans just like you, only with different bloodlines."
Indeed, if the auctioneer hadn't introduced her, he wouldn't have recognized her as a so-called Abyssal.
Ye Yun pondered and asked, "What about the place called the Abyss?"
Ye Yao thought for a moment and continued.
"The Abyss, in the terms of your Heavenly Domain cultivators, refers to the Abyssal Continent, which is the home of our Abyssal race."
"However, the main connection passage to your Heavenly Domain from our place has been sealed."
Hearing this, Ye Yun frowned.
"Sealed? What do you mean?"
"Uh, you don't know?"
Ye Yao looked at him with a strange expression.
"It's the 100th Ascension Passage you speak of, which is our Abyssal Continent's only two passages to the Heavenly Domain."
"Unfortunately, only Saint cultivators who have ascended normally can pass through there, but because of the True Saint realm cultivators guarding it in the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace, they cannot pass."
At this point, Ye Yun finally understood what the Guardian meant by the 100th Ascension Passage.
And he was now completely certain of one thing.
Since Xing Wu had come out of the 100th Ascension Passage, the conclusion was obvious. She was likely also a member of the Abyssal race.
Ye Yun took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"By the way, you said that was one of the two passages. Is there another one?"
This time, Ye Yao looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Of course, that's the special passage through the Imaginary Abyss."
"Uh..."
Ye Yun was somewhat surprised, but Ye Yao spoke enthusiastically.
"The Imaginary Abyss is a passage that appeared unexpectedly after the main passage was sealed. The advantage is that there are no cultivation restrictions."
"Therefore, we can use that passage to send a small number of people to the Imaginary Abyss each time."
"Over time, that place has become a frequent battlefield between our Abyssal race and your Heavenly Domain cultivators."
Ye Yun could easily understand this explanation.
"So, the Imaginary Abyss is a strategic buffer zone?"
"Strategic buffer zone? Uh, that term is quite accurate."
Ye Yao nodded, clearly it was indeed the case.
Ye Yun thought of something and asked with some doubt.
"Wait, if that's the case, shouldn't the Abyssal Continent be considered a lower realm? How can it be so powerful, able to contend with the Heavenly Domain, a higher-level realm?"
He had initially thought that the Abyss was a foreign continent on par with the Heavenly Domain, but he hadn't expected this relationship.
Ye Yao then explained this question.
"This is mainly due to the Imaginary Abyss connecting the two realms."
"It allowed our Abyssal Continent to receive nourishment, possessing high-intensity Xuan Qi and some Heavenly Principles necessary for becoming an immortal."
"Strictly speaking, our Abyssal Continent is now a world at the same level as the Heavenly Domain."
"Then, due to some special factors, our Abyssal Continent developed rapidly and gradually gained the strength to contend with the Heavenly Domain."
At this, Ye Yun's frown deepened.
"If that's the case, and you don't need to ascend to the Heavenly Domain to continue growing stronger, why are you still fighting the Heavenly Domain?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yao looked up at him and said righteously.
"Of course, it's to survive!"
"The living environment on our Abyssal Continent has always been very poor, with a high mortality rate."
"So we only hope to have a place to survive in the Heavenly Domain, but the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace does not allow it."
This answer was somewhat unexpected for Ye Yun. He raised an eyebrow and said.
"So, you intend to use invasion?"
But this statement seemed to enrage Ye Yao, who looked at him indignantly.
"Hmph, do you also think the Heavenly Domain is your Heavenly Domain?"
Ye Yao glared at Ye Yun and said, "Clearly, all along, the Heavenly Domain should have been the Heavenly Domain for all the lower realms. We should have the right to reside here!"
"But because of the dictatorship of the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace, which controls everything, they have turned the Heavenly Domain into their exclusive territory!"
"You say we are just trying to reclaim our rights. Can that be called invasion!"
