Chapter 1785: Deep in the Black Sea
Under the guidance of Chu Guhong, Xiao Chen and Luo Yun came to the mountain range. There was a cold breath nearby. Not far ahead, they saw layers of black breath blocking the way.
The "black aura" that permeates the air is the unique "black soul" in the Black Sea. It is probably like the aura of gods and demons in the Tomb of Gods and Demons. Once eroded by a large number of black souls, it will be like a gangrene attached to the bone and cannot be shaken off. In the end there is only pain and death.
"If you are ready, go inside. The dark soul inside is too heavy and I can't come out. You should try to hide your whereabouts the rest of the way."
Chu Guhong's spiritual thoughts came from the soul jade. He has no body. Once he is corroded by the black soul here, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, after entering the black sea, he cannot easily come out of the soul jade.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chen and Luo Yun no longer hesitated and immediately went inside the black soul barrier. When the two of them got inside, the black souls around them suddenly came overwhelmingly. But in this year, the two of them were in the black soul barrier. The body tempered in the water is by no means useless. Although these black souls are fierce, they cannot corrode the two of them when they get close.
However, in the black soul barrier, in addition to these black souls, there were also some restrictions. The two of them had to be careful. After about half a day, the two finally passed through the black soul barrier and came to the black sea.
Looking around, there are many mountains connected together, endless. This time, Xiao Chen probably understands why this place is called the "Black Sea". Although there are countless peaks and valleys, there are no flowers, grass, trees, let alone birds and animals. In short, there is a dead silence. , only these black peaks give off a particularly strange and eerie feeling.
There are very few people like him and Luo Yun who enter the Black Sea. Unless they have great supernatural powers, entering the Black Sea alone is no different than sending death. And those who can enter are often those with strong strength. For big families and sects, they can use formations to send people in, and they can also use magic weapons to protect themselves from the erosion of the black soul here.
Of course, not all the forces that enter the Black Sea come for Ten Thousand Dragon Scales. In the eyes of the world, Ten Thousand Dragon Scales are closer to illusory legends. The reason why they venture into the Black Sea is obviously to find some ancient A treasure passed down from time to time. After all, people will always explore endlessly unknown areas.
The ancient Eastern cultivation world was so prosperous in the past. Some treasures that have not yet been damaged must have landed in certain places in the world, and these places may not necessarily be dangerous places such as the Black Sea and the Tombs of Gods and Demons. But just imagine that they fell in ordinary places. The treasures have long been explored, leaving only dangerous places like the Black Sea.
This is why, nowadays, when some treasures appear in the world, they always appear in some extremely remote and dangerous places. Things that are not dangerous places have already been picked up by others.
As the two people entered at this time, a layer of strange fog gradually filled the front, and Chu Guhong's spiritual thoughts came from the soul jade: "Those who can enter the Black Sea must have some strength. Next, you may meet others." Cultivators who enter this place should try to avoid conflicts if they can't afford it. Remember the purpose of coming here and go directly to the Burial Abyss. Don't waste time elsewhere. I will tell you how to go next. Now, go all the way forward. That’s it.
"Okay." Xiao Chen and Luo Yun didn't hesitate, looked at each other, and immediately went deep into the mountain ahead.
…
In Xuandu City, there is heavy snowfall, and it is already spring. But this year, the snow in Xuandu City seems to be endless, and it keeps falling. The sky is always full of haze, and the sun has not been sunny for a long time.
"Xue'er..."
In Yuntian Pavilion, Sword Immortal Feixue is still as usual. After coming out of seclusion, he is always used to coming to Yuntai, leaning on the railing alone, looking at the heavy snow falling in the city, and in his mind, the snow picked up by the master that year appears again. night.
She often wonders, why is she cultivating? Is it to meet the master as soon as possible? But the master has not appeared for more than a month...
Then what is the purpose of cultivating yourself? Are you just like the rest of the world, all for the elusive and illusory road to eternal life? Still like Elder Shengyi, for the sake of supreme power, he would even go astray...
What's that for? Is it for the sake of injustice in the world? But that day under the Canglang Sea, why could she only watch but couldn't do anything?
Why don’t I have the strength of my master? Why can’t I be as carefree and unrestrained between heaven and earth as my master? No one can restrain him, not the ancient Tao of Reincarnation or the Nine Heavens...
During this year, she entered the Taixiao Palace Xuanjing to practice in seclusion, and her cultivation has improved greatly. Now, if she can move the Xuanshuang Heart Technique to the third level and transform it into the third "winter form", it will be enough to compete with Taixiao Palace. The Qingjing strongmen resisted, but she could never forget the look of Xiao Chen's eyes filled with blood and tears that day under the Canglang Sea.
What if it was me? If his master was captured by someone from the ancient reincarnation path, would he risk his life on that day...
"Xue'er...what's wrong with you?"
The third elder in black clothes came to her side at some point. She slowly came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't know when the snow will fall again this year."
Seeing her expression at this time, the third elder couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart. He knew that Feixue had always been worried about what happened that day when he came back from Canglang Sea a year ago, but there was nothing he could do about it. The strength of the ancient Tao of Reincarnation It was too strong, unless Senior Xuanjiu was present, they would not be able to take action at all, otherwise it would only bring disaster to Yuntian Pavilion.
"The year when Senior Xuanjiu sent you to Yuntian Pavilion, I remember it snowed so hard, it lasted for more than three months..."
"Will master come back this year..."
Feixue looked at the heavy snow in the sky. The master in her memory always looked the same. She still remembered that the first time she saw him, he was like a big brother, picking her up from the snow.
When she grew up, she learned from people in the world that her master was the leading swordsman in the world of suffering and one of the strongest in the world. No one had ever been able to defeat the sword in his hand...
But in the past thousand years, he has appeared twice in total. The first time was to frighten the Jiuzhonglou and Xiehai, and the second time was to send himself to Yuntian Pavilion. There was a difference of more than 600 years between the two appearances.
According to the legend, he had already shattered the void and gone to the ninth level of the sky. What was in the human world was just a clone he left behind thousands of years ago... But all of this was just a legend.
Feixue deeply remembered that when her master left, she had told her that unless one day she could truly step into the realm beyond the outside world, she should not look for him or find him, although she could not find him at that time. I don’t understand, what is the realm outside the country? Do you mean to travel beyond the four seas like Master?
It wasn't until she grew up that she realized that the realm outside the country was beyond the reach of mortals, but she had been working hard just to meet her master one day earlier.
She is young and has only been practicing for a few years, but her level of cultivation has already surpassed that of most of her predecessors who have been practicing for hundreds of years.
At this moment, she slowly took out a fairy sword that was as whole as snow, and gently rubbed her fingers across the sword. The name of this sword was "Tai Su". It was the sword of the master. It had been with the master for thousands of years, so the sword had He was also contaminated by the master's aura, but back then, the master gave this sword to himself...
…
The Evil Sea seems to be the calmest this year. Those who came out of Canglang Sea that day almost stayed in their own places this year, whether they were the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord, the Ghost Sect Xuanzu, or the The murderous fairy.
At this time, in the Desire Palace of the Killing Heart Fairy, the guards were much tighter than in previous years. Restriction formations were everywhere, and not even a sparrow could fly in.
In a secret palace, a dark fire floated, giving off a dim light. A cauldron was placed in front of Fairy Killing Heart, and she was refining something.
At this moment, there is white air emerging from the top of the cauldron. In the cauldron is a wisp of the "original energy" of the ancient world. It was obtained by the Killing Heart Fairy in the forbidden area under the Canglang Sea at that time. If this ray of origin can be After the Qi is refined into her body, her cultivation level will be improved by at least two realms.
After the incident that day, everyone escaped from there. As for this year, Xiao Chen seemed to have disappeared from the world. There was no news. People in the plight kept talking about it, but the Killing Heart Fairy didn't seem to care. But every time I think of the ridiculous scene between her and Xiao Chen in the sea of flowers, I can't help but feel upset.
…
Black Sea, half a month has passed. Xiao Chen and Luo Yun have arrived at the depths of the Black Sea today. The entire Black Sea is almost endless, and there are thousands of mountains and valleys in it, and there are countless great abyss. Even if someone wants to look for Ten Thousand Dragon Scales, Within decades or hundreds of years, it was impossible to find which one was the "Great Burial Abyss", but Chu Guhong seemed to be particularly familiar with this place. Obviously, he had been here more than once in those years.
"Senior Chu, how long will it take before we reach the Burial Abyss?"
"Well... it should be soon."
Chu Guhong's voice came from the soul jade, "There is a mountain range ahead, which is a must-pass, but I can sense the breath of other people, what about you?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen and Luo Yun both nodded. Apparently, they could also feel the aura of cultivators in front of them. There were quite a few of them, and their cultivation levels were not low. They should be people from some big families and sects.
"Walk."
The two of them went forward and came to the mountain range. There were some dilapidated ancient temples in the mountains, which were left over from ancient times. However, the contents inside have probably been evacuated by now, and some ancient temples buried deep underground. It is full of restrictions and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
Xiao Chen and Luo Yun hid their auras and walked forward for about fifty miles and came to an open foothill area. They saw about twenty people in front of them, who were continuously pulling out some dead bodies from deep underground. The soul comes and is put into some black bags.
"What are they doing?" Luo Yun frowned. These people were actually collecting dead souls in the Black Sea. What did they want to do after collecting so many dead souls?
"Well... they should be people from the Soul Refining Sect. It has been thousands of years, but they haven't been wiped out yet." Chu Guhong's voice came from the soul jade.
"Soul Refining Sect?"
Xiao Chen and Luo Yun's eyes were slightly focused. Just hearing this name, they knew that they were definitely not good people. Chu Guhong said, "Ignore them and find a way to cross this mountain range. There are heavy restrictions inside. There are still people in this mountain range." It seems that many people from other sects want to pass through here.”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen and Luo Yun did not hesitate and immediately went to another valley. It took about three days to reach the middle of the mountain range. Chu Guhong said, "Through this mountain range, After walking for another ten days, you will enter a forbidden area, where you will see complete ancient temples. After passing that forbidden area, you will not be far from the Great Burial Abyss. I will tell you how to get there. "
"Senior Chu... seems to be very familiar with this place?" Obviously, Xiao Chen also wanted to know that Chu Guhong must have been here more than once back then.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden violent shock nearby, and then there were strange phenomena in the sky, and layers of restrictions suddenly pressed down from the nine heavens.
"Someone has touched the restrictions in the mountain, go! Leave here before the restrictions collapse."
At this time, Chu Guhong's rapid divine thoughts came from the soul jade. Although Xiao Chen and Luo Yun had only been in the Black Sea for half a month, they knew that there were many taboos in it. At this time, they did not hesitate. Under the guidance of Chu Guhong, they quickly unfolded their body skills and fled forward.
"Boom!"
The sky was full of restrictions and layers of pressure came down. Under these restrictions, the mountains behind were instantly turned into ashes and turned into smoke and dust in the sky. The scene was really terrifying.
"Who the hell touched the restrictions here..."
Seeing the mountains behind disappear in an instant, Luo Yun was really thrilling. He had no doubt that if he fell under those restrictions, he would end up like those mountains.
"Don't worry about it, hurry up." Xiao Chen also increased his speed to the limit. The restriction behind him swallowed the sky and the earth. If he was a little slower, he would be buried in it.
About an hour later, the two finally escaped from the collapse of the restriction. The vibrations around it gradually subsided and finally stopped completely. At this time, not far ahead, there was a fierce quarrel.
"If you hadn't touched the restriction of the ancient palace, would this place collapse? Now tell me, the passage collapsed, how to get through? Just you, you still want to find the Ten Thousand Dragon Scales, I think you will die in this black sea before you reach the Great Burial Abyss!"
"If you hadn't blocked the way in front, would we go down there?"
"Okay! Stop arguing! What are you doing here? Wait... who!"
There were about a hundred people in a valley in front. These people were not from the same sect, and there were about four or five sects.
"Who are you, come out!" Obviously, Xiao Chen and Luo Yun had just escaped from the collapsed mountain quickly, and were discovered by the people here.
Each of these sects has one or two elders with extremely high cultivation. Obviously, they are all large sects with thousands of years of inheritance. Otherwise, it would be impossible to enter this depth.
You should know that although Xiao Chen and Luo Yun only spent half a month to enter here, it was all with the guidance of Chu Guhong. Otherwise, I am afraid that even if they spent ten years, they might not be able to find this place, and they might even die there.
At this moment, Xiao Chen and Luo Yun walked out and looked at the people in front of them. They thought that these people should have entered the Black Sea for a long time, and they came in more than once. Their purpose was also the Ten Thousand Dragon Scales...
"Which sect are you two from?"
The people from several sects here were all alert at this time. Looking at Xiao Chen and Luo Yun who suddenly appeared, they thought that those who could come here were definitely not ordinary people. The two people appeared so calmly, and there must be a big problem. For a while, everyone was calculating in their hearts. Could it be that they also came for the Ten Thousand Dragon Scales? The two heard what was said just now...
"Elder... Elder! Help!"
Just then, a cry for help suddenly came from the other side of the valley. It seemed that someone was being chased by someone and ran towards this side. At this moment, Xiao Chen sensed a certain breath, which was somewhat familiar...
