Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 17: Sleep
This is a sky full of haze.
The sky is always gray, with no trace of sunshine or clouds in sight. The land is full of decay, with withered trees and barren land, not even half alive.
The ground is covered with thick fog that will never disperse. This fog comes from the Yellow Spring in the distance, which pours down like a Milky Way.
It steams and drifts across the earth, bringing darkness and desolation to the entire world.
This is the underworld.
On the land of the underworld, only ghosts will always exist.
Various ghosts.
The most primitive fog ghosts are condensed from mist, the resentful souls are condensed and accumulated grievances, the evil spirit is formed by lingering yin energy after death, and there are all kinds of zombies that retain their entities, and all kinds of A wide variety of weird existences that are difficult to classify fill this world, forming a vast and huge world of ghosts.
The underworld is vast beyond imagination, even greater than the Great Desolate World, and second only to Hongmeng.
As the world that guides the world of stars, it corresponds to countless worlds in the dark. Because of these connections, the underworld is full of mysteries and there are countless weird places, far beyond what most people can imagine.
Yanshui River is such a strange place in the underworld.
This is】◆dǐng】◆ǎn】◆小】◆ said, .⊙.＠o A long, dark river with no source, existing with the underworld and born from the dirty soil. The river never flows, but there is always a splashing sound. The black fog that never dissipates floats on the river, and all kinds of ghosts are churning in the river.
Under the Yanshui River, the black river water rolled, and under the waves of mysterious power, the vortexes formed one after another.
Occasionally, you can see black ghost figures spiraling up from the whirlpool, crawling out of the whirlpool with shrill screams, and swimming towards the water.
In this way, a Yanshui ghost was born.
Not every ghost will necessarily appear in the underworld. The underworld supports the entire underworld, and the underworld corresponds to the universe of stars. In this world, there are too many existences that subvert common sense, are unconventional, and even contradictory. They are difficult to understand and elusive. The living should be kept away, and the dead cannot sleep.
Continuing to sink downward, gradually reaching the deepest and darkest river bottom.
The highly corrosive undercurrent has turned this place into a restricted area for life. Even ghosts are unwilling to enter. Only a few kinds of ghosts such as carrion fish and ghost crabs can exist here.
But in a place like this, a human body as huge as a mountain exists stubbornly.
He settled in the deepest part of the river bottom, covered with rotting sand.
The undercurrent is turbulent on it and cannot scrape away the hard flesh and blood. The sharp bone teeth of the carrion fish cannot bite through the hard body. Even the soul of the ghost crab cannot be lodged on it.
At this moment, the corpse was lying quietly on the bottom of the river, motionless, as if dead.
In the chest of the corpse, there is a terrifying hole, which penetrates him completely. The huge energy still stays on it, and any ghost who dares to approach will be directly torn into pieces.
A ghost crab comes here.
The energy vortex at the entrance of the cave not only attracts the ghost crab, but also makes it feel scared and does not feel close to it. It can only wander around the energy vortex.
Suddenly, a transparent claw stretched out from the hole and grabbed the ghost crab. The ghost crab's mist-like body began to change, trying to escape from the transparent claws. At the same time, the black mist's pointed claws stabbed down, making a sharp sound of piercing and piercing.
The transparent claws retracted without being affected and pulled back to the hole in the chest.
Under the impact of the majestic energy, the ghost crab was instantly washed away, leaving only a trace of the most essence of soul energy, which was guided into the cave.
Deep in the hole is a heart that has been torn into pieces, and there is a transparent ghost sitting next to the heart.
It sat next to the heart, carefully guiding the soul energy to enter, so that there was a healing that was difficult to see with the naked eye at the crack in the broken heart.
Then the heart beat loudly.
Although it only jumped once, it released a surging life energy. All the carrion fish and wandering soul crabs that passed by within a few dozen feet were shaken to death. It's a pity that this kind of death will not bring any benefits to the physical body, so the heart let out a long sigh.
The transparent ghost gently touched his heart, as if to say, don't be anxious, don't be anxious.
This corpse is naturally that of Tang Jie, and the transparent ghost is Xiao San.
Tang Jie’s true self is indeed dead.
There is no vitality and no life left.
That day, the palm of the Great Luo Jinxian came from the ancient continent. Its power was terrifying and unparalleled. Even Tang Jie's tyrannical body, which was said to be immortal, could not resist it and died on the spot.
But the body is dead and the soul is still there!
Because of the existence of the clone, Tang Jie's original soul has a place to go, and there will be no death.
It's just that Tang Jie didn't take back the remaining soul of his body.
On the contrary, he left his soul there.
Dead people cannot send souls, and even if they do, they are nothing but walking corpses.
But Tang Jie did not use this method.
The moment the deity died, Tang Jie used Creation Infinity on his deity.
To be precise, he used it on a broken heart of the deity.
The moment he used Creation Infinity, Tang Jie's body already had new life.
This life is fragile, lacks consciousness, and has no fighting capacity.
But it is also a seed.
The seeds of life!
Yes, Tang Jie himself is indeed dead, but Tang Jie left himself a seed of life.
The moment the seed of life existed, the consciousness of the deity had already entered this newborn life, and fell into a sleep like suspended animation for the first time.
Tang Jie called this fetal breath.
The hiding stage that a new life must go through during its development.
At the same time, use Daozang's secret method of locking the essence to lock all the essence and energy in the physical body and prevent it from leaking out.
In this way, the seeds of life can breed and grow in the body of the deity, using the body as the soil, rapidly absorbing and expanding, and re-forming the complete deity.
This was originally a good plan, but unfortunately it was ruined by the Hades Emperor, who actually dragged me into the underworld. Why didn't Tang Jie want to hand over the souls of the Five Elements clan to the underworld?
This cannot be blamed for Tang Jie being stingy. The Five Elements Clan is a race created by Tang Jie. It belongs to the Huangting World and is not in the system of the Xingluo Great Thousand World. As an independent existing system, it has great reference, reference and research significance for Tang Jie. It is an important basis for Tang Jie to understand the great road in the future and take the next step forward.
But if the souls of the Five Elements clan enter the underworld and enter reincarnation, it means integrating into the universe of stars and stars, and losing this independence.
In the future, in order to gain greater power, the Huangting world will be integrated sooner or later, but not now, so Tang Jie cannot let the underworld take away these remnant souls under any circumstances. The price is to lose oneself.
Fortunately, what the underworld always needs is the soul rather than the body. The Emperor of the Underworld is a **** in a virtual body and has little interest in the body itself. He dragged me into the underworld purely out of revenge. Therefore, after being dragged into the underworld, I didn't pay attention to it anymore.
The land of the dead in the underworld is filled with heavy Yin energy and life is hard to find. Fortunately, the seeds of life use their own bodies as soil to nurture and grow, and have little external demand for the time being, so the problem is not that big.
The real trouble is that the consciousness of the deity fell into a deep sleep along with the seed of life and was unable to resonate with Tang Jie's consciousness. Therefore, Tang Jie did not know the situation of the deity.
All he knows about himself can only be through the mistress.
Without the guidance of consciousness, the growth of life seeds based only on instinct will be very slow. The most terrible thing is that although the Underworld Emperor is not interested in the physical body, not all ghosts in the underworld are not interested in the physical body.
Most physical ghosts are interested in the body of this deity.
So Tang Jie had to recover quickly to deal with possible threats.
During this period, Xiao San continued to capture wandering ghosts and feed Tang Jie's consciousness, in order to wake up his consciousness quickly, so that he could effectively control this body.
At this moment, after the sigh, a voice suddenly sounded in Xiao San's consciousness: "San'er."
"Squeak!" Hearing this sound, Xiaosan let out an excited cry like a mouse.
My consciousness has finally awakened.
I have said: "What is our current situation?"
The mistress danced and screamed.
Through the transmission of consciousness, I have understood what Xiaosan said.
He felt himself, and found that his current life form was still just the most primitive form of life, residing in the heart that had been barely repaired by the monument, and was in a strange state of being neither human nor human, ghost but not ghost. Even his own consciousness can only barely exist. If he thinks for a long time, he will feel tired. As for establishing contact with the clone Tang Jie, let alone establishing contact. Fortunately, the clone can at least feel the original one waking up.
Understanding this, I said: "I can't wake up for too long now, and I will fall into a deep sleep soon. The top priority is to continue to collect ghost food for me so that I can stay awake for more time."
"Don't worry, father, I will definitely catch more ghost crabs for you." Xiao San replied.
I have said: "That is not enough...we need something stronger..."
A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Xiao San's face: "But I am a ghost hunter, so I cannot openly appear in the underworld."
"Then let them come." Tang Jie said.
"How to get here?"
"Fishing...use my flesh and blood..." My voice lowered.
Just for a while ~IndoMTL.com~ my consciousness has gradually become unsustainable and is about to fall into deep sleep again.
"Your flesh and blood?" Xiao San was stunned.
Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?
My flesh and blood is still very attractive to some specific ghosts. In some aspects, it is no less than a genius treasure, and it can definitely catch ghosts.
"But if it is too powerful..." Xiao San was a little worried.
It is not afraid of monsters that are too powerful, but once they fight, they will inevitably be exposed and the risk will increase.
"If the target is not suitable...just give up...you can discard the bait." I continued.
"But that would be a waste of your flesh and blood."
"When it's time to waste, just waste it. What you lose now will always be gained again in the future..." My voice became deeper and deeper, and in the end it was completely inaudible.
He fell into a deep sleep again.
