But since the Styx Water Spirit said so, Shi Chishang did not hesitate, raised his Sword Escape, and flew directly into the Black Sea with the Styx Water Spirit.
He hadn't felt it before on the shore, but as he flew into the ocean, Shi Chishang gradually felt that the evil atmosphere around him had changed. It was no longer full of violence and bloodthirsty as before, but gradually became more peaceful. Feeling, it seems that just a little contact will make the whole person concentrate and stabilize the state.
When he first sensed this, Shi Chishang was quite happy, and he quickly used his soul to absorb the evil energy, trying to temper his state of mind.
However, as he continued to deepen, the violent power of the evil spirit continued to weaken, and the breath of silence continued to increase, slowly exceeding the normal level. It was no longer a simple calm state of mind, but began to erase people's temperament and change it. Gotta be indifferent.
Shi Chishang didn't notice it at first. Fortunately, "Soul Evolution" itself has the side effect of purifying energy. After flying for half a quarter of an hour, he suddenly sensed the strange changes in the evil energy around him, and then stopped sweating profusely. Gain luck.
"Becoming lazy and unwilling to move, could it be..."
Thinking of what the Styx Water Spirit said earlier, Shi Chishang felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. Could it be that the people whom the Styx Water Spirit spoke about were eroded by the evil spirit without realizing it, and their emotions and desires were wiped out, and they became walking zombies, so they were unable to do so. Are you willing to move?
With a shiver in his heart, Shi Chishang quickly used his energy to look inside his body. Only when he was sure that all the side effects had been purified by "Soul Evolution" did he breathe a sigh of relief and look around with a fearful expression.
This black sea was so huge that it was unimaginable. Shi Chishang followed the water spirit of the Styx for three days and three nights before finally reaching the other side.
Different from the cave when we came, here on the other side is a country of ice.
Before approaching the coast, Shi Chishang could already see a land covered in silver in the distance. There were no lakes, no vegetation, only mountains like snow dragons crisscrossing the land.
When he saw this scene, Shi Chishang felt an inexplicable panic. It was not that he sensed some powerful enemy, but that the other side of the sea was like a piece of frozen time and space. The peaceful artistic conception was too strong. So much so that there was no wind, and everything remained still, without any activity at all.
Compared with here, the other side is indeed "noisy".
Subconsciously, he stopped escaping the light, and Shi Chishang stood in the air, staring at this scene with cold eyes. After a long while, he said in a complicated tone: "Is this where you usually stay?"
"Yes!" After returning to his own place, the water spirit of the Styx was obviously much happier, and the water ball it transformed into jumped up and down, "It's much quieter here!"
"It's indeed much quieter." Shi Chishang smiled bitterly and nodded.
Just what he saw made Shi Chishang give up the idea of going in.
Just kidding, even with the two double purification buffs of "Soul Evolution" and Soul Dao, Shi Chishang wouldn't dare risk his life to go in. Who knows if he can withstand the erosion of this place with his mere initial strength of Ming Lord.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped walking, the water spirit of the Styx asked doubtfully: "Why don't you leave?"
Shi Chishang coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Ahem, I suddenly remembered that there was still soup simmering at home. Bah, no, I remembered that I had something else to do, so I decided not to go."
"Ah? You're not going?" Styx Water Spirit was a little disappointed and said depressedly, "Then where are you going?"
This actually knocked Shi Chishang Wen down.
There is definitely no way out of that waterfall, and there is no other way out. Is it possible that I have to stay here for a few years?
But speaking of which, at his current state, a few years seems to be nothing. Anyway, the evil energy here is abundant, and he can purify the side effects. Why not practice here for a few years first?
But where does he choose to practice? From what the water spirit of the Styx told me, that ancestor seemed not to be trifled with. Even evil spirits like Bi Zhong who were at the level of the Nether Lord had to hide in the Black Sea. I was only in the early stage of the Nether Lord, so if I was discovered, I would have no place to escape. of.
Just as he was thinking about where it would be more convenient to practice, Shi Chishang suddenly became excited and looked around with horror on his face.
Just now, he suddenly discovered a terrifying thing.
The ice country opposite him can erase all emotions and desires, turning him into a walking zombie with no desires or thoughts. The area he came from, whether it is a cave, the forest outside the waterfall, or the dense fog area outside, are all... It can distort the mind and make people become manic and easy to kill.
How similar is this to the underworld and the ghost world?
In the underworld, there is only a trace of obsession, and all other thoughts are clear. Once the only obsession is shaken, it will turn into a walking corpse.
The ghost world attaches great importance to emotions, and the seven emotions and six desires are all amplified to the extreme, so that the temperament is twisted and crazy, just like a madman.
"This place was all created by Zu. Well, no, it should be him... Well, it was Zu who came anyway, and this place became like this..."
Suddenly, Styx Shui Ling's previous words rang in Shi Chishang's heart, making the panic in his heart even more intense.
Is it possible that this so-called ancestor wants to create a brand new world of ghosts and underworld? Is that why this kind of region evolved?
And inexplicably, Shi Chishang recalled the words that entered his heart along with that ray of artistic conception. A scam? Could it be that this ancestor was deceived and created such a region? Or is it because he fell into some kind of trap by creating the Valley of All Evils?
Or...
Soul way?
It was another exciting spirit, and Shi Chishang was in a rare panic. The other party also possessed the Soul Dao. If he thought about it carefully, could it be that the Soul Dao itself was also a conspiracy?
If his inexplicable and weird conjecture is true, what about myself? Will he also be plotted against?
Mr. He Bai?
impossible!
This thought was dismissed by Shi Chishang just for a moment.
Regarding the Soul Path, Shi Chishang knew very well that it was a great avenue that was superior to the Ghost Path and the Underworld Path.
If you imitate the actions of the two realms of ghosts and underworld to evolve the Valley of All Evils, you may fall into some kind of trap, but it is almost impossible to do anything on the road.
In contrast, "Soul Evolution", which has an unknown origin and is purely a skill, is more likely to be manipulated.
"Do I need to escape from Soul Evolution?" Shi Chishang frowned, thoughtfully. It can be said that the foundation of his technique is completely derived from "Soul Evolution". It is not easy to escape.
After pondering alone for a long time, Shi Chishang finally sighed. No matter what, escaping from "Soul Evolution" is not something that can be solved in a day. For now, let's find a place to hide first!
Glancing at the Styx water spirit dancing left and right in front of him, trying to attract his attention, Shi Chishang's heart moved and he asked, "You said before that there are other evil spirits hiding in the Black Sea?"
"Yes!" Seeing that he finally spoke, the Styx Water Spirit quickly stopped and replied, "There are many."
"Can the Black Sea block that ancestor's induction?" Shi Chishang asked.
"No," the Styx Water Spirit explained, "Zu usually stays in the Black Sea and only comes out occasionally. If it comes out, everyone will hide in the Black Sea and wait for it to come back before escaping back to the shore."
Shi Chishang was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the ice country that looked like the underworld: "Those people are like that too?"
Shaking his head, the Styx Water Spirit rarely revealed a bit of schadenfreude: "They are too lazy to move, so as long as they are encountered by the ancestors, they will be killed, so there are not many left now, maybe tens of thousands. ."
Hearing that there were tens of thousands more, Shi Chishang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he and the other party had different understandings of numbers. Tens of thousands were also called "not many"?
"Then do you know where I can hide without being discovered?" Shi Chishang asked, "I can't go out for the time being, and I want to find a place to stay for a while."
Seeing that the water spirit of the Styx was pointing towards the frozen continent, Shi Chishang coughed quickly: "Except over there."
"That's it!" The Styx Water Spirit lowered the hand it just raised and thought for a moment, "Then I'll take you to the place where I used to stay!"
"Where did you stay before?" Shi Chishang was a little confused, but the Styx Water Spirit seemed very excited to return to its old place. It had already flown towards somewhere in the Black Sea. When Shi Chishang saw this, he could only hurry up and follow.
Along the way, Shi Chishang sensed several powerful auras one after another, all of which were of the Mingzun level. However, they seemed to be frightened by the "ancestor". These evil spirits were peacefully hiding at the bottom of the Black Sea and did not attack them. .
After a while, Shi Chishang followed the Styx water spirit to an island.
This island is not big. Shi Chishang can see the entire island without relying on his soul consciousness. The surface of the entire island is bare and there is no vegetation at all. However, there is a large pit in the center, and there are several unknown pieces standing at the bottom of the pit. A simple monument made of high quality materials.
With a crash, the water spirit of the Styx fell to the ground with Shi Chi Shang, and said excitedly: "I was here before."
Shi Chishang deliberately wrapped his soul power around his feet before landing, but there was nothing strange after touching the ground. He relaxed a little and looked at the entire island.
Looking at the big pit, Shi Chishang's heart suddenly moved: "Were you in this small lake before?"
"Yes! How do you know?" Styx Water Spirit was surprised and said with a smile, "I used to be here all the time, so boring. Then one day I suddenly became able to move, and I ran away like this."
Shi Chishang nodded slightly. It seemed that the body of the water spirit of the Styx was this small lake. Later, due to fate, spiritual wisdom was born and turned into the water spirit.
However, his attention was quickly attracted by the huge monument, and he asked curiously: "What is that?"
"I don't know," Styx Water Spirit shook his head, "This thing has been there since I became conscious. I thought it was so disturbing that I wanted to throw it out several times, but I couldn't lift it, so I left it alone."
"I'm so panicked..." Shi Chishang felt inexplicably that after getting to know this Styx water spirit, the frequency of his mouth twitching increased.
After hesitating for a while, after asking the water spirit of the Styx, Shi Chishang carefully flew into the pit and came to the giant monument.
There was nothing on the surface of the monument, no patterns, no words, no images. It looked like a bare monument. But for some reason, the closer Shi Chishang got, the more he felt his soul become hot, as if the monument itself had a huge power. attraction.
Suppressing the heat in his heart, Shi Chishang walked around the monument a few times, trying to use his soul consciousness to penetrate the monument.
boom!
In an instant, Shi Chishang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and was overwhelmed by an artistic conception so vast that it was completely indescribable.
This was exactly the artistic conception he had perceived when he was drowned in Bizhong's blood. The difference was that what he had perceived before was just a wisp of wisps, but now this artistic conception was grand and vast, like a torrent turned into an ocean. , allowing him to be completely immersed in it without any resistance.
Soul Dao!
A soul path that has the same essence as Shi Chi Shang's soul path, but is slightly different in direction!
In a daze, Shi Chishang entered the hallucination again. He once again transformed into the giant beast, constantly devouring all kinds of creatures, devouring their origins, and then absorbing all the advantages of the opponent.
After devouring a tiger, an extra tiger head and a tiger claw emerged.
If you eat a dragon, you will get more dragon scales and claws.
After absorbing a phoenix, there will be more phoenix wings turned into flames.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Shi Chishang turned into a monster with countless limbs, countless heads, and countless wings. He wandered across the seven realms and Liuhe, and his appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he began to gradually devour the derivatives of the original realm. Out of countless planes.
Until one day, he seemed to have reached the peak, and simple devouring could no longer satisfy him, so he returned to the ghost world, wanting to imitate a certain existence in the past and evolve his own ghost and underworld.
The huge body began to collapse, the flesh and blood turned into mountains and lakes, and the origins that had been absorbed turned into strange evil spirits, and then...
Opening his eyes, Shi Chi Shang looked around blankly.
A moment ago, he was still immersed in the vast artistic conception of the constant plane of evolution, but then he broke away from the illusion.
And inexplicably, he had a strange feeling of palpitations, as if he was almost about to die.
Seeing him waking up, the bored Styx Water Spirit quickly came over and asked curiously: "What just happened to you?"
Shi Chishang frowned slightly and stared at the giant monument: "Don't you know the origin of this giant monument?"
Seeing that he didn't answer the question, the Styx Water Spirit shook his head a few times unhappily: "Yes, didn't I say that when I just became conscious, it was already there."
Shi Chishang snorted, his eyes extremely complicated.
Combining the illusions he fell into twice and the soul path contained in this giant monument, he vaguely realized that this might be the soul path imprint left after the body of the unknown giant beast collapsed.
The unknown giant beast should have died. Its flesh and blood body has turned into the Valley of All Evils. The infinite essence it once absorbed has evolved into countless evil spirits. Then the soul path it possesses should also be left behind. Perhaps it is this giant monument. .
If Shi Chishang's soul path is "mirror reflection", then this soul path is "absorption".
Absorb the advantages of something and turn it into your own use.
However, unlike Shi Chi Shang's mirror that simply reflected its charm, this giant beast absorbed all of its soul, twisted it, and grafted it onto itself.
Who is better and who is worse?
unknown.
Fingertips gently stroked the giant monument, Shi Chishang's eyes flickered, and they suddenly condensed, revealing a bit of determination.
The way to absorb everything in the world and turn it into one's own body may be outstanding, but his way of mirroring will never be weak. Taking the charm and imprint, freely combining it, it is more consistent with his own temperament, far better than this wantonness regardless of whether it is consistent or not. absorb.
However, even if the soul-absorbing method is not in line with his temperament, the various brand essences contained in the monument are enough to greatly improve his mirror method.
"Next, let's practice here with peace of mind!" Shi Chishang murmured softly, turning to look at the water spirit of the Styx, "The ancestor won't be discovered here, right?"
"No way!" The Styx Water Spirit swayed and said with a smile, "It has gone out now. Usually it takes a long time for him to come back after coming out of the Black Sea."
Considering that the Styx Water Spirit described tens of thousands as not much, Shi Chishang estimated that the so-called "long, long, long time" was indeed "long, long, long time." He felt relieved and asked again: "Can I let my friend come over?"
"You still have friends?" Styx Water Spirit asked curiously, "But how did he come here?"
"He is hiding in my body." Shi Chishang explained.
"Oh, it's okay, let him come out!" The Styx Water Spirit was very happy, "It's fun when there are more people."
Shi Chishang smiled slightly and activated the secret technique of the Soul Kingdom, and Huang Chenyang immediately flew out.
Previously, Shi Chishang had not severed the connection between the Soul Kingdom and the outside world, so Huang Chenyang also knew his previous experience. After getting out, he first looked at the water spirit of the Styx curiously, then looked at the giant monument impatiently, and said happily: "This is also Soul Dao?"
After humming, Shi Chishang said in a complicated tone: "Try to understand only those essence marks. This soul path is different from ours. It swallows them all and then distorts itself. Of course, if you don't need to keep the human form, you can also understand it. ."
Huang Chenyang couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. The excitement in his eyes faded a bit, and he said in surprise: "So evil? Then I should be careful."
Shi Chishang only released Huang Chenyang. Due to their strength, the countless Yin spirits that had been incorporated into the Soul Kingdom earlier would not be able to resist the evil here even if they practiced the Soul Dao. It would be better to use him as a transit to better absorb the evil here. Evil spirit.
However, just in case, Shi Chishang first placed several warning restrictions around the island, and then sat cross-legged in front of the giant monument with Huang Chenyang, carefully comprehending the secrets of the monument.
