Chapter 1060 Survival at the Bottom of the Abyss
Let’s not talk about how Shi Fu Zhenjun found someone to kill Qingyang. Qingyang was hit by the giant palm of fire. If he hadn’t been protected by the top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, the snake spirit armor, he would have died immediately. Even so, he lost most of his life and fell into a coma.
This was not the worst. What was more terrifying was that Qingyang was sucked by the infinite gravity in the depths of the Fallen Ghost Abyss. His body fell uncontrollably, and his speed was getting faster and faster. The depth of the Fallen Ghost Abyss was said to be more than ten thousand feet. If this continued, even if Qingyang was not killed by Shi Fu Zhenjun, he would be killed by the fall. Unfortunately, Qingyang was in a coma at this time and had no way to save himself.
Qingyang fell faster and faster. At first, he could easily catch it with the naked eye, but then he could not observe anything. He could only vaguely see a trace of afterimage, and only heard sharp sounds of breaking through the air around him. The ten thousand feet abyss was equivalent to a distance of sixty miles. It took only a quarter of an hour to reach the bottom, which was faster than the speed of the One-horned Ghost King driving the Imperial Palace.
In theory, this speed is not too outrageous for a Jindan cultivator. If Qingyang is still strong, he can always find a way to land safely. However, Qingyang was hit by the Seven Escape Locks, and most of his methods could not be used. He was also in a coma. The consequences of falling at such a speed were unimaginable.
Fortunately, the place where he fell was not land, but a river. With a loud bang, Qingyang fell on the water. The huge force stirred up waves more than ten feet high on the water surface. The entire river surface was rippling, and the river water almost rushed to the embankment.
Even if Qingyang fell on the water, such a huge impact force was not something that ordinary people could withstand. The body that was injured by Shi Fu Zhenjun before was severely injured again. Countless bones in the body were shattered, and the internal organs were like a fly slapped on the table, with thousands of holes. Qingyang just woke up from the pain and then fainted again.
Qingyang's body sank to the bottom of the water due to inertia, and then slowly floated up. The blood dyed the nearby water red, attracting many fish and shrimps to tear and fight for food, but Qingyang was unaware of this. His broken body floated helplessly on the water, and he didn't know where it would eventually float to.
This was the most serious and miserable time that Qingyang had been injured in history. Not to mention the restrictions of the Seven Escape Locks, the rupture of the golden elixir and the inability to use the true essence was nothing. Now, his bones were broken, his five internal organs were broken, his whole body could not move, and he was unconscious. If he hadn't just broken through the golden elixir realm, he would have died countless times in this situation.
Three days passed, five days passed, and ten days passed. The river carried Qingyang constantly drifting. After nearly half a month, Qingyang's body was caught by a branch on the shore and slowly washed ashore. Qingyang had been in a coma and didn't know anything about it.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any ferocious beasts during this period. After another three days, Qingyang gradually woke up from his coma. However, his current condition is extremely bad. His mind is trapped, his true essence cannot be used, and his body is severely injured and unable to move. Because he has been soaked in the river for a long time, many parts of his body are swollen and pale. Some wounds have rotted and maggots have grown, which are constantly wriggling in the rotten flesh. There are also ants and unknown small insects eating the flesh.
In this situation, even if he does not die, he will be eaten clean by insects. Qingyang was hit by the Seven Escape Locks and could not use elixirs to heal his wounds. The broken golden elixir could not mobilize the true essence, nor could he use the exercises to heal his wounds. The only way is to rely on the body's self-healing ability.
Whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, the body has a certain self-healing ability. Of course, this self-healing ability is divided into strong and weak. Generally, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the self-healing ability. When you reach a certain level, rejuvenation, rebirth of broken arms, and even body reconstruction are not a problem.
After breaking through the Jindan realm, Qingyang's self-healing ability was greatly enhanced. It was also because of this that he did not die despite being seriously injured before. He was able to wake up after being in a coma for more than ten days. He relied on his body to heal his wounds. This was the only thing he could do at present.
The days after that were simple. Qingyang lay on his back on the river bank every day, watching the sunrise and sunset in the sky, watching the wind blowing the leaves on the trees, feeling the rise and fall of the river next to him. Of course, he had to endure the gnaws of maggots, ants and various small insects. The itching and numbness were simply indescribable, but these did not affect him much. Qingyang had been cultivating immortals for decades, and had closed the dead gate to break through his cultivation countless times. He had long been accustomed to it. Loneliness and boredom were not a problem, and the itching and pain could also be tolerated.
Unconsciously, another half month passed. After the rotten flesh on Qingyang's body was eaten clean by maggots and ants, the remaining good flesh could not be chewed by maggots. After all, Qingyang had broken through the Jindan realm. His physical strength was not comparable to that of ordinary people. In addition, his strong self-healing ability, the wounds scabbed and healed, and the maggots and ants could not find a place to bite and stopped visiting.
At this time, Qingyang's arms were gradually raised, and he could barely crawl with his body supported. Qingyang felt that he could not keep wasting time here. What if Shi Fu Zhenjun was unwilling and sent people to the Fallen Ghost Abyss to look for him, wouldn't he be dead now?
Then Qingyang used his arms to support himself, and found some suitable herbs by the river. He smashed them with stones to form green herbal pills, and took them internally and applied them externally to speed up the healing process.
After another four or five days, Qingyang's condition improved even more. He was able to stand up by holding the tree trunk, so he found a branch as a crutch and walked slowly downstream along the river.
When he was escaping before, the One-horned Ghost King told him that the Fallen Ghost Abyss was not that scary, because it was in a no-man's land. Some monks who committed crimes would take the initiative to escape here to hide. Anyway, it was difficult to get out, and even if they got out, they would have to face the old enemies. It was better to stay here. For a long time, many monks survived in the Fallen Ghost Abyss.
The conditions in the Fallen Ghost Abyss were very bad, which would greatly suppress the abilities of the monks, but this suppression was very fair. All monks were the same, which was equivalent to narrowing the gap between high-level and low-level monks. Low-level monks didn't care, but high-level monks were unwilling to come down unless they had to.
The Fallen Ghost Abyss was a transitional area between the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld Realm. There was both spiritual energy and Yinming ghost energy in it. Both human monks and ghost monks could survive, but the spiritual energy was average, and there were no very good spiritual veins. This was also the reason why high-level monks were unwilling to come down. In short, this was a place where the emperor was far away, and it was what high-level monks called the foreign land.
