Once you've Fast Traveled to that Abyss Nexus, you'll end up on a bridge in Demeniss Castle. Take note that guards will be patrolling the area and will become hostile once they spot you. It's up to you if you wish to engage in combat or run fast to avoid conflict.

Climb up the pillar and jump down into the shallow body of water below. Once you're there, you'll notice a bridge in front of you with two arches. Head to the right-most arch and climb up the left pillar.
