Northern Abyssal Heaven

A hundred years ago, the Abyssal Forbidden Zone emerged, perilous beyond compare. Prodigy Chen Xuan ventured alone into its depths to seek the Dao. But from the day he entered, the soul lamps reflecting cultivators' fates across the world suddenly extinguished. For a century, all sects and billions believed that genius had perished in the abyss. Yet no one expected that after a hundred years of silence, Chen Qingyuan would step out of that forbidden deathland alive! But upon his return, he had lost all former glory. His cultivation was completely shattered, his spiritual roots broken, reduced to a cripple. As his glory faded, humiliation followed. His former lover arrived with a letter of annulment, severing past ties; various sects kicked him while he was down, trampling the once-revered prodigy. The world's cold eyes and fickle sentiments pressed down on the crippled Chen Xuan. At the brink of despair, from the depths of the abyss, a figure in a red dress appeared. Her eyes like stars and moon, her figure graceful, a soft voice reached Chen Qingyuan's ears: "Chen Xuan, I give you two choices. First, marry me..." Before she finished, Chen Qingyuan, without hesitation, blurted out: "I choose the second."
