Chapter 68: The Man Peering into the Abyss (Please read it!)
The moment he clicked "Mission Completed", the scene around Luo Xiu disappeared again.
[Completed promotion mission: Walking with Yuan (normal difficulty)]
[You have completed an abyssal summoning with a level no lower than lv.10, and successfully proved that you indeed have the potential and qualifications to serve the abyss. 】
[The task is being settled...]
[Get completion reward: basic experience +800, skill slot +1, skill slot +1, free attribute point +5]
【……】
At this time, Luo Xiu had already arrived in the "Sea of Spirituality", and the settlement prompt of task completion flashed in front of him.
He could have completed this task and received the reward long ago, but he did not do so.
Because this time is different from the "spiritual sea" we came to twice before.
What Luo Xiu is at right now is the spiritual sea that carries the power of the [Abyss]!
Luo Xiu was also not sure whether he could safely exit this spiritual space if he had not prepared the Bronze Key when he stepped on the long steps and finally arrived at the "Bronze Gate" of his destiny in the [Abyss].
After all, [Abyss] is different from the relatively mild [Glory]. The spirituality of [Abyss], which symbolizes darkness and evil, is likely to directly "devour" those who are not qualified, rather than expel them.
…
After receiving the promotion mission reward of [Abyss], the long steps leading to the unknown end once again appeared in front of Luo Xiu.
As he stepped onto the long steps, the surrounding scenery was constantly changing.
The starry sky with bright spots of light at the end of the field of vision was actually strangely dark purple and scarlet in the spiritual sea of the [Abyss].
It seemed as if there were countless pairs of eyes with malicious intent, constantly peeping at him from the void...
Luo Xiu even felt inexplicably that if he made a mistake and fell down the long steps, what would happen to him would not be his awakening in reality, but his permanent sinking in this "sea".
…
When Luo Xiu finally reached the end of the long steps and arrived in front of the "Bronze Gate" of the [Abyss] destiny.
He took out the "Bronze Key" and inserted it into the keyhole of the central lock plate.
The bronze door slowly opened.
This time, the "world behind the door" that Luo Xiu saw was completely different from when he was promoted as a [Glory] believer.
Luo Xiu saw the rising calamity fire - a prairie fire, extinguishing flame, capable of burning the world, burning blazingly at the end boundary.
[You have opened the bronze door and glimpsed the world behind it. 】
【You lost the "Bronze Key"】
【Spiritual sublimation! You have advanced to the second level of destiny! 】
[You gain source improvement]
[The level of the skill "Abyss Inscription" has been increased to lv.2]
[The level of the skill "Abyssal Beast Summoning" has been increased to lv.2]
[You gain additional "Contract Abyss Beast" slots]
[You obtain the skill: Corruption Affinity (Abyss, lv.1)]
[Erosion Affinity (Abyss, lv.1): You have been recognized by "Abyss" and can initially master the skills or skills related to the "Abyss" attribute, and receive a small effect bonus. 】
【……】
Luo Xiu immediately took a step towards the void.
The next moment, the scenes he saw were all shattered like mirrors.
A brilliant bronze hall appeared in Luo Xiu's field of vision.
It was a bronze hall that was very similar to the one when he was promoted to [Glory].
There are also three bronze pillars erected, and the only difference from when they were promoted to [Glory] is the lines engraved on these stone pillars.
On those deep and complex engraved lines, purple like quenched blood is flowing, giving people a strange visual sense.
A new prompt immediately popped up in front of Luo Xiu.
[Has advanced to the second level of "Abyss" destiny, gaining profession...]
[You have a chance to "change jobs"]
[Please choose one of the following three secondary destiny professions]
…
On the first copper pillar, an inscription symbolizing "eyes" appears.
[Occupation 1: Second level "Abyss" destiny occupation - Abyss Peeper]
This is a profession that has a slight connection with the "Abyss". The power gained comes more from spying and studying the "Abyss", and it can maintain a high degree of sanity.
…
On the second copper pillar, an inscription symbolizing "black flame" appears.
[Occupation Two: Second Level "Abyss" Destiny Occupation—Half Demon]
This is a profession that has a moderate connection with the "abyss". If you "sacrifice" half of your soul and body to the abyss, you will transform from your roots into a half-human, half-demon race.
…
On the third copper pillar, an inscription symbolizing "swallowing" appears.
[Occupation Three: Second Level "Abyss" Destiny Occupation - Son of Devouring]
This is a profession that is highly connected to the "abyss". It can fully acquire the "devouring" characteristic of the abyssal group and strengthen itself by constantly devouring others, but it will also almost completely lose its "human" reason.
…
As early as when Luo Xiu entered the spiritual sea of the [Abyss], he had already planned the career he was going to choose.
He chose "The Peeper" almost without hesitation. [You obtain an extraordinary profession: Abyss Peeper (lv.1)]
[Level inheritance of the lower profession "Abyss Waiter"]
[The level of "Abyss Peeper" is increased to lv.10, and the profession "Abyss Waiter" is lost]
[Acquire the "Abyss Peeper" professional skill: Gaze into the abyss (Abyss, lv.1)]
[Stare into the abyss (Abyss, lv.1): You often gaze into the abyss, and you can obtain forbidden and extremely precious divine revelations from it. 】
[Acquire the "Abyss Peeper" professional skill: Eye of the Abyss (Abyss, lv.1)]
[Eye into the Abyss (Abyss, lv.1): You often gaze into the abyss, so your gaze has considerable power...
When the target appears in your field of vision in full form, you can make a "Gaze" judgment on the target. When the "Divinity" is greater than the opponent, the opponent will be trapped in "Immobilize", "Seal", and "Drain" for 5 seconds. Waiting state, unable to move, unable to use any skills, unable to invoke any spirituality. 】
【……】
After choosing "Abyss Peeper" as his secondary career in [Abyss], Luo Xiu's vision was suddenly occupied by the sky-high flames.
He felt his flesh and blood being burned and a sharp pain rising from his heart.
Then, Luo Xiu's eyesight went dark.
…
When he woke up again, Luo Xiu had returned to his room in the "White Antelope Hotel".
"Safe... back safely..."
Recalling the scene just now, Luo Xiu was still frightened.
Sure enough, the spiritual sea during the promotion of [Abyss] is a hundred times more dangerous than [Glory]...
It was quite the right choice not to choose to be promoted early...
Luo Xiu felt a burst of joy from the bottom of his heart, and then began to carefully analyze the newly acquired "Abyss Peeper" professional characteristics.
His professional skills require gazing into the abyss, but there is no way to go to the "abyss" at this stage.
The professional skill "Eye into the Abyss" is a very powerful control skill. If it is judged successfully, it can provide powerful control for up to five seconds.
In fact, in terms of strength alone, "Abyss Peeper" is basically a late-stage power-producing profession. At the same stage, it is not as powerful as "Half-Demon" and "Son of Devouring".
However, choosing the latter two professions is basically equivalent to directly embarking on the path of becoming an "Abyss Demon" or a "Fallen Monster", which is contrary to Luo Xiu's plan.
And with Luo Xiu's current level of strength, it would be difficult for him to survive in the Fanor Continent if he showed too much conspicuous power of the [Abyss].
…
Luo Xiu then allocated all the 5 points of free attributes obtained through promotion to the "divine" value.
The "Divinity" attribute value reached 26 points, which is already greater than the attribute requirement for continuing to read the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss".
When he looked at his own panel again, it had already undergone considerable changes.

【……】
"..."
A smile appeared on Luo Xiu's lips, and he felt sincerely happy.
This is the pleasure of becoming stronger that only players can have...
So, next step.
Luo Xiu was ready to read and look directly at the fourth page of the "Sacred Book of the Abyss" to acquire new knowledge of the "Abyss".
as well as--
Luo Xiu moved his gaze to the "Abyssal Beast Summoning" that had been upgraded to lv.2.
"I can summon the second abyssal beast..."
Luo Xiu rubbed his chin and thought to himself.
Good news! Advance to the fourth round!
happy!
