Chapter 2316 The Mysterious Appearance of Ghost Gate
Judge's Pen, Book of Life and Death
When I put my hand into the Ghost Lake, the cold touch spread from my fingertips to my whole body.
"This touch... is no different from water, but it is not like water. It is very similar to the Styx in my body!"
As I touched the Ghost Lake, the doubts in my heart became stronger and stronger.
This Ghost Lake is so strange. It is exactly the same as the Styx in my body, but what kind of thing can condense the Styx on its own?
My intuition tells me that the things hidden in the Ghost Lake must have a thousand connections with me!
At this time, I heard a "gurgling" sound. I squinted my eyes and saw that a huge bubble appeared in the center of the Ghost Lake. As the bubbles churned, the water level of the Ghost Lake began to rise. In just a blink of an eye, the scope of the Ghost Lake expanded a lot.
"Did the lonely ghosts who walked into the Ghost Lake before be completely swallowed up and transformed into part of the Ghost Lake?"
The lake water was still spreading. In just half an hour, the area of the entire Ghost Lake increased by several kilometers.
As the lake water spread, I did not retreat, but stood still, watching the Ghost Lake slowly drown me.
At first, the lake water only submerged my feet, but as time went on, the lake water began to rise continuously, and finally submerged my waist and abdomen.
What surprised me was that as the lake water submerged me, the netherworld energy in my body actually calmed down slowly. It felt like a wandering child returning to his mother's arms, becoming extremely calm.
The next moment, I was suddenly shocked.
Because I found that this ghost lake... was actually slowly replenishing the netherworld energy in my body!
Before, the netherworld energy in my body was attracted by some kind of force and was swallowed up by the ghost lake. At this moment, the ghost lake actually penetrated into my body through my pores, and then transformed into netherworld energy, and finally merged into the Styx!
"No, it's not that the ghost lake has transformed into the Netherworld Qi, but... this ghost lake is made up of the Netherworld Qi!"
I looked at the still rising ghost lake, my eyes flashed, and suddenly I dived down.
In an instant, I was completely submerged by the ghost lake, and the coldness and darkness were exactly the same as when I dived into the Styx.
"What kind of ghost lake is this? It's clearly a Styx!"
At this moment, I was completely stunned.
What is hidden in this ghost lake that can actually condense into a Styx?
Although the range of the Styx is not large, occupying only less than ten kilometers, it is also terrifying enough.
As I dived into this ghost lake, the majestic ghost and death energy in the ghost lake began to madly pour into my sea of qi.
This rough infusion did not make me feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, it made me feel extremely comfortable. The Styx flowing in my Qi Sea also began to become wider and wider with the infusion of the Ghost Lake. The surface of the water was even more surging.
"This Ghost Lake may be a horrible place of death for others, but for me, it is simply a paradise!"
I pinched the seal with my hands, and then the whole person slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
Then, I began to devour it frantically.
As I devoured it, the Ghost Lake, which was originally gradually expanding, actually shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the water level slowly dropped.
Compared with the drop in the water level of the Ghost Lake, the Styx in my body rose, not only becoming more open, but also becoming more unfathomable.
"The ghost lake is good, but I can't swallow too much, otherwise, my sea of qi will be burst!"
I shook my head with a little regret. However, this ghost lake can be used as my supply station. The most important thing is that no one dares to set foot here easily. Once I am chased or injured, I can escape into the ghost lake.
Time passed by, and after about half an hour, the Styx in my body began to overflow. Obviously, my sea of qi has reached its limit. The
ghost lake is also much smaller than before, and the water level has dropped by several meters!
"I can't continue to swallow it!"
I slowly opened my eyes and scanned the bottom of the lake, trying to explore and find the source of this ghost lake.
But at this moment, I was suddenly shocked.
Because at that moment, the netherworld energy in my body was rapidly draining away, and even the water level of the Styx, which had already overflowed, was dropping madly!
"What's going on?" I was horrified, thinking that the Ghost Lake was beginning to devour the netherworld energy in my body madly?
But then I realized something was wrong.
Because the netherworld energy in my body did not overflow from my body, but... mysteriously disappeared in my sea of qi.
It felt as if a bottomless abyss suddenly appeared in my body, and the disappearing netherworld energy was poured into that abyss.
"Could it be..."
I suddenly thought of something, and my pupils suddenly shrank. Then my mind moved, and a divine thought directly descended into my sea of qi.
"Master Yinchai!"
The eighteen ghost kings all stood on both sides of the Styx. When they saw my divine thought coming, they immediately stepped forward.
"Master Yinchai, I sense that the water level of the Styx is dropping. It seems that there is something at the bottom of the Styx that is consuming the Nether Qi!" A ghost king said with some concern.
Mu Sheng also looked solemn and said, "Qian Yu, the Styx is losing water too fast. If the source cannot be found, the Styx will soon dry up, and your Qi Sea will be completely drained!"
I nodded: "I'll go and see!"
After that, I plunged into the Styx and quickly dived.
My speed was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, I dived to an extremely exaggerated depth.
Then, a door really appeared in my sight!
A door suspended in the depths of the Styx!
The door was pushed open a crack, and the rapidly flowing Styx water poured into the door!
"Before, the Ghost Gate had always been flowing with Styx water, but now, the Ghost Gate is madly swallowing up the Styx water. Could it be that something happened in the unknown place that the Ghost Gate leads to?"
The previous times I went to the ancient times, this door did not appear in my Qi Sea, but this time, this door mysteriously appeared. Does this indicate something?
Or...
is the appearance of this door related to this ghost lake?
"No matter what, I must devour the ghost lake as much as possible, so that the Styx in my body will not dry up. I just hope that the Ghost Gate will close this morning, or stop devouring. Otherwise, even if I devour the entire ghost lake, it may not be able to make up for the loss!"
