Since there was no one to disturb him, Shi Jiu did not choose to enter the inner space of the black spoon jade, but rested in the open space nearby.
Shi Jiu took out a jade box from the black space, took out a crystal element from it, placed it in the palm of his hand, then combined his hands and began to absorb the energy in it.
In the previous battle, Shi Jiu had consumed a lot of energy, and now he was in urgent need of replenishing energy, and Jingyuan was the best energy supplement.
Half an hour later, Shi Jiu absorbed all the energy in this ordinary crystal, and then threw away the shattered crystal in his hand.
"Well, not bad, 60% of the strength has been restored." After some luck, Shi Jiu evaluated the effect of absorbing the crystal element.
"Is the previous space my conscious mind?" Shi Jiu thought of the previous battle with the red light spot.
"Can I go in again?"
Shi Jiu closed his eyes and wanted to enter that space again, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never enter again.
Just when he was disappointed, Shi Jiu looked at his lower body, sitting cross-legged on the open ground with his hands supporting his legs.
"Wait, I can see myself with my eyes closed?" Shocked, Shi Jiu opened his eyes and looked at his lower body.
"Yes, it's the same as what I saw when I closed my eyes!" At this time, what Shi Jiu saw when he opened his eyes was exactly the same as what he saw when he closed his eyes.
"Could this be spiritual consciousness?" Shi Jiu couldn't believe it, then closed his eyes again and tried to "look" at himself.
"Yes, you can really see it!"
Then Shi Jiu cast his "eyes" into the distance. At this moment, the armored corpse not far away was clearly displayed in front of him, and even the small damage on the armor could be seen clearly. Then Shi Jiu "looked" in other directions, and the underground river and the stone wall were clearly visible.
Finally, Shi Jiu recovered his "gaze" and then opened his eyes.
At this moment, Shi Jiu was convinced that he had opened up his spiritual consciousness.
Divine consciousness can only be opened by the strong, and its use is very practical. It allows people to see the surrounding environment clearly, understand every move of everything around them, sense upcoming dangers in advance and make predictions, and stimulate the potential of the human body. In short, with spiritual consciousness, the strength will be improved in all aspects .
Of course, it is very difficult to activate spiritual consciousness, and you must at least be at the peak of the Soul Realm. Shi Jiu also defeated the soul attack from the armored corpse by chance and devoured the power of the soul in it. In addition, he used the viciousness of the Hades core to temper his will on weekdays, and then he opened his own consciousness. Otherwise, it would be impossible to open it with Shi Jiu's current strength.
After many attempts, Shi Jiu also realized some uses of divine consciousness. Using divine consciousness will consume a certain amount of his own dark power, but the consumption is not large. In addition, using divine consciousness to explore the surrounding environment can only be up to ten meters with his current strength. It won't work any further.
Although it is only ten meters, it is enough for Shi Jiu to use now.
The opening of his spiritual consciousness made Shi Jiu very excited. Although the detection distance was not long, he believed that as his strength increased, his spiritual consciousness would also be improved.
After resting, Shi Jiu walked along the underground river again.
After walking for about half an hour, Shi Jiu arrived at the end of the underground river.
At the end of the underground river is a thick mountain, and below it is a pool the size of half a basketball court, into which water from the underground river is continuously poured.
"This should be the end of the underground river."
Shi Jiu looked around and found no exit except for the three surrounding cliffs and the underground river in the direction he came from.
"Do we still have to climb up?" Shi Jiu raised his head and looked at the top of the cliff.
At this time, a faint red light loomed above the cliff, changing its direction all the time. Even under the abyss, Shi Jiu could still hear the whistling wind coming from above.
"It seems that the evil wind above will not stop for a while."
Shi Jiu refused to climb up to find a way out. Although he was not afraid of the evil wind's ferocious aura, the swarms of ancient corpses were not something he could deal with alone yet.
"Huh? The water from the underground river is constantly gathering here, but the water level of the pool has not increased. Is there an underground passage under the water?"
Shi Jiu looked around again, and after making sure there was no exit, he made up his mind.
"It seems that the only way to go is through the undercurrent."
Shi Jiu took out a sheepskin bag, filled it with air, tied it firmly and tied it with a slip knot. Shi Jiu didn't know how long the underwater tunnel was. Bringing this sheepskin bag filled with air can be used when the oxygen is exhausted, and it can also increase its own buoyancy.
After everything was ready, Shi Jiu took a deep breath and then plunged into the pool.
Although he was mentally prepared, the undercurrent surging underwater still caused Shi Jiu a lot of annoyance. Shi Jiu couldn't find the direction of the undercurrent, so he had no choice but to surface for air, and then he dived down again.
Five minutes later, Shi Jiu surfaced again to take a breath. This time he found the direction of the undercurrent, and then he dived down again.
Under the water, Shi Jiu opened his eyes, and then swam quickly in the direction of the undercurrent he had discovered before.
The cold river water, coupled with the pitch-black surroundings, constantly stimulated Shi Jiu's mind. However, Shi Jiu remained unmoved and continued to swim along the undercurrent. While swimming, his hands and feet kept groping. Everything around you.
During this period, Shi Jiu changed his breath three times. When he was about to change his breath for the fourth time, he finally saw a bright light in front of him, so Shi Jiu swam quickly over.
"Wow!"
A large amount of water splashed from bottom to top, and a figure suddenly jumped out from the water.
"Finally out!" After jumping onto the water, Shi Jiu gasped for air, then wiped his eyes and looked around.
Although it is still a waterhole, it is outdoors, and around the waterhole are large shady woods, and you can hear the chirping of birds from time to time.
Breathing the fresh air and looking at the vast forest, Shi Jiu was convinced that he had come out.
After landing, Shi Jiu found a big rock and lay down beautifully. Swimming in the underwater river was very tiring and he needed to rest and regain his strength.
Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu, who had finished his rest, cut off a branch, sharpened it, and then plunged into the water again. After a while, he came up. At this time, there were two more fish on the branch on his left hand.
Although food was stored in the space of the black spoon jade, Shi Jiu still wanted to eat fresh food.
Half an hour later, the aroma of the grilled fish was overflowing. Since Shi Jiu had prepared the seasonings in advance, the grilled fish this time was even more fragrant than the last time.
Soon, the two grilled fishes were eaten by Shi Jiu.
After eating, he still wanted to catch a few more fish, but when he saw that it was getting late, he gave up and had to leave here as soon as possible.
An hour later, Shi Jiu walked through the woods and came not far from Jianhun Cave, and then hid behind a big tree.
At this time, various factions were still stationed in front of the Jianhun Cave, but the number of people was much smaller. In addition, red demon wind blew out of the cave from time to time, which also resulted in no one near the cave entrance.
"Senior brother, the evil wind in this Jianhun Cave seems to be unstoppable. Why don't we go back first? Waiting here is not an option." Not far away, a disciple of Antian Pavilion asked the senior brother beside him.
"This time the demon wind is a bit strange. It happened many days in advance. Each faction decided to wait a few days to see the situation."
…
Shi Jiu did not move forward. After hearing the conversation between the two people in front of him, he also had some guesses in his mind. The evil wind in the cave could not be stopped for the time being, so he decided to leave here and return to Tianyou City.
On the way back, Shi Jiu knocked out a messenger from Qingyi Hall and snatched his horse. After all, riding a horse is much faster than walking.
Not long after dark, we finally arrived at Tianyou City.
Looking at the brightly lit Tianyou City not far ahead, Shi Jiu sped up.
After entering the city, Shi Jiu came to the restaurant where he often ate.
After arriving at the top floor, the waiter in charge of reception immediately greeted him with a smile: "Sir, where have you been these days? Isn't it the Jianhun Cave?"
"No, I went out of town. The dishes are still the same, please bring them over quickly." Shi Jiu took out a piece of silver.
"Please have a rest, sir. You'll be back soon." After taking the money, the hard-working waiter hurried downstairs to prepare.
