That night, the eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen could not sleep. They were making final preparations, bringing everything they needed, strengthening everything that could be strengthened, and finally waiting.
Yi Xichen lay on the table, staring at Fei Ji.
"Be obedient. Don't get into my bag. Just wait here. We will come out in three to five days and we will come to find you once we come out."
Feiji pretended not to understand and lowered his head to tidy up his feathers with his mouth. Ever since he ate the pile of spiritual stones from the beast pill, his spiritual energy has become stronger and his character has changed. He has become more and more conceited and would tidy up his feathers when he had nothing to do.
Yi Xichen flicked its butt in dissatisfaction: "Hey, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Feiji jumped away suddenly and continued to comb his feathers.
"There's no point in trimming your hair. No matter how you trim it, it's still going to be fat, gray and ugly!"
Feiji immediately glared at him with a murderous look.
Yi Xichen said with a playful smile: "See, now he can understand what people say!"
Fei Ji was so angry that he shrank his neck, and suddenly his whole body became rounder and fatter.
"Hey, I'm serious. Just stay here and don't try to get into my Qiankun bag. The place called Void Realm..." Yi Xichen thought for a moment and threatened it, "There are huge thunderstorms there, with lightning and thunder all the time. You're ugly enough with your gray hair. If you get struck by lightning and turn into a charred fat bird, wouldn't that be even uglier?"
Feiji found his nagging too annoying, so he flew to the top of the cabinet and hid there.
Yi Xichen was helpless. In addition to thunderstorms, there were many ferocious beasts and evil spirits in the Void Sea. It was indeed extremely dangerous. Even he himself needed the protection of his eldest grandson Jun, and he didn't know whether this trip would be successful. He also didn't want Feiji to follow them in the adventure, but Feiji could ignore the seal and sneak into any place with them. He really had no choice.
"Okay." Yi Xichen said, "But you have to promise me that after entering the Void Sea, you will hide in the Qiankun bag and not come out, otherwise... otherwise I will sell you right now!"
Feiji immediately flew down from the top of the cabinet, landed on the table, rubbed his fingers affectionately, and then began to preen its feathers.
Yi Xichen laughed: "That's reasonable!"
However, he suddenly realized that Feiji's feather preening was a bit... elegant? Yi Xichen shuddered at his own disgust. How could such a fat little bird be associated with the word elegant?
In a blink of an eye, it was daylight.
As if afraid that they would not take it with them, Feiji hid in the bag early and could not get out. After they packed up, they went out.
The city of Evil China was full of people, all heading southeast to the Sea of Nothingness. Some of these people were planning to go to the Sea of Nothingness, while others were taking advantage of the last chance to see the excitement.
Originally, the thunderstorm at the edge of the Void Sea could be seen from within the Evil City. Now, even with the naked eye, it was clear that the power of the thunderstorm had been greatly weakened. The thunderstorm was no longer dense, giving people a chance to get closer.
As soon as Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun walked out of the inn, they met Xiao Li, Master Hong Yi, and Master and Apprentice Gao Tianzhu who were also out.
Xiao Li smiled at them, but he seemed to be more interested than when they first met. He looked at them for a few more times before looking away. Gao Tianzhu was still very unfriendly to them, but because Master Hong Yi was beside him, he could not lose his temper and did not say anything.
After leaving the Evil Hua City Gate, there were fewer people. Those who did not intend to enter the Void Realm stopped at the city gate and blocked the city gate to watch the excitement. Therefore, those who walked out of the city gate were those who wanted to pay homage to the Void Master.
There were about fifty people who left the city, most of whom were cultivators above the Golden Core stage, and most of them were sword cultivators. After all, sword cultivators were the strongest among all cultivators, and could even challenge opponents of higher levels. No matter how high the cultivation of other cultivators was, they might not be able to defeat the ferocious beasts and evil spirits in the Void Sea.
Yi Xichen looked around curiously, and saw Xiao Li and the master and apprentice of the Hongmeng School were also among the crowd leaving the city.
He was observing others, and others were also observing him. Walking next to him was a Jindan cultivator from the Jade Dragon Sect. When he saw him and his eldest grandson Zijun, he showed an incredible expression.
"Hello, fellow Taoist." Yi Xichen greeted him with a smile.
The man looked like he had seen a plague. Not only did he not respond, he even stepped aside and stayed away from them. If a cultivator in the Fusion Stage came to try his luck, that would be fine, but was this guy in the late Foundation Establishment Stage here to make fun of him? He had to stay away from these two people. If he shared the power of thunder with them, he would die unjustly.
Yi Xichen turned to his eldest grandson Zijun and said, "Alas, I heard that the void is very dangerous. I want to make some friends to look after each other, but it's a pity that it's so hard to make friends."
The eldest grandson Zijun glanced at the Jindan monk and said, "Don't look for a burden."
The monk from the Jade Dragon Sect was so angry that his nose was crooked. Tired? How dare these two young boys call him tired? Don't cry when you get struck by lightning!
These monks rarely used swords, and they walked the three-li road from the city gate to the sea. One reason was that there were monks with higher cultivation levels nearby, and they showed respect by not using swords; the other reason was that the closer they got to the sea, the more severe the thunderstorms became, and for the monks, they were gradually approaching the limit of what they could endure.
When they were halfway through, several people couldn't go on any longer. Although they were unwilling to do so, they had to turn back.
As soon as they left Ehua City, the eldest grandson Zijun used his spiritual power to protect him and Yi Xichen. Although this consumed some energy, at least he was able to protect Yi Xichen. After all, the seal in Yi Xichen's body had not been released yet, and it was too difficult for him to withstand the thunder storm alone.
Yi Xichen asked worriedly, "Is this okay? If you can't bear it, just tell me."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said lightly, "Okay." He was not pretending to be relaxed, but after the thunderstorm weakened today, it was even much weaker than the intensity he tested yesterday. He really felt that protecting the two of them was a piece of cake.
By the time they reached the seaside, there were only about thirty people left. A small number of people who had left the city turned back halfway because they could not stand the wrath of thunder.
There was a lightning wall at the seaside, blocking everyone's way. The intensity of this lightning wall was not low, and it was said that its intensity was comparable to the strongest thunderstorm on the sea of nothingness. This was the first test for everyone. If they could pass this lightning wall, they would not be hurt by lightning on the long sea journey. It was also a kind warning to everyone, so that those who didn't know what was good for them would not be buried in lightning and fire after going out to sea.
A sword cultivator tried to put his hand into the lightning wall, and then he screamed and pulled his hand back, only to find that his palm was already covered in blood and bones! His face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and struggled, feeling unwilling and indignant. But the truth was so cruel that if he forced his way in, he would have turned into a pile of bones before he could even break through the lightning wall, let alone the Void Boundary. In the end, he still walked away with his head down and angrily.
When everyone saw the first person who tried ended up like this, they were all terrified and did not dare to rush into the lightning wall. They only tried one part of their body.
The eldest grandson Jun also stretched out a hand. With his body protected, the lightning wall could not hurt him.
The Jade Dragon Sect cultivator did not dare to move rashly. He looked left and right and found that the eldest grandson Jun was fine. He could not help but stare in surprise. He was a little scared, but he was just despised as a burden. If he retreated now, wouldn't it be exactly what the eldest grandson Jun said? So he gritted his teeth and stretched out a hand towards the lightning wall. After just one touch, he pulled his hand back suddenly - although he was not injured to the extent of skin and flesh, his body protection was broken in an instant. It can be seen that he is afraid that he can't get through this sea of nothingness.
The Jade Dragon Sect monk looked disheartened, and secretly glanced at his eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen, fearing that they would laugh at him. However, the two of them did not even look at him. He gritted his teeth, and turned around while no one was paying attention. However, when he turned around, he saw a huge silver wolf rushing towards the lightning wall.
"Ice Peak Giant Wolf!"
He cried out in surprise.
Everyone turned around and saw the Ice Peak Giant Wolf rushing towards the lightning wall at an extremely fast speed! The sharp-eyed people soon discovered that there was a person hidden under the belly of the Ice Peak Giant Wolf.
Gao Tianzhu shouted, "It's that evil sect! Quick, Xiao Daoist Fellow, stop them!"
The eldest grandson Zijun also saw the beastly alchemist hiding under Lang Yue's belly, but he did not draw his sword immediately because the huge body of the Ice Peak Giant Wolf completely became a shield for the alchemist. Unless he pulled him out, he would avoid hurting others.
The person closest to Lang Yue was Xiao Li. He was standing right in front of Lang Yue as he rushed into the lightning wall. The beastly alchemist saw this and screamed, "Lang Yue, knock him away!"
However, Xiao Li had no intention of stopping them. He calmly took a step back and made way.
Lang Yue rushed into the lightning wall!
The dazzling lightning struck the body of the ice beast. He curled up in pain, but he still rushed through the lightning wall! After all, this half-demon, half-demon beast could break into the void sea even though it was seriously injured!
And the shameless Beast Alchemist, using the Ice Peak Giant Wolf as a shield, rushed into the Void Sea unscathed and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Why didn't you stop them!" Gao Tianzhu was immediately furious, "How could you let that evil and ferocious beast into the Void Sea!"
Xiao Li asked him: "Are you afraid of him?"
Gao Tianzhu was stunned, his face turned very ugly: "What nonsense! That evil man practices evil techniques, and our Hongmeng sect has the responsibility to deal with him!" It is difficult to tell the direction of the sea of nothingness, and the danger is unpredictable. No one knows why the evil man broke into it. If he just wanted to kill people and rob goods, and ambushed others in the dark, then others are indeed very dangerous. Gao Tianzhu did not fail to consider this, but he was unwilling to admit it.
"Then let's go in and deal with him." Xiao Li smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the lightning wall.
His steps were light, as if he was completely unaware of the thunder's fury. The lightning had no effect on him at all. After a moment, he also disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yi Xichen looked at his back thoughtfully: "What kind of person is this Xiao Li?"
The eldest grandson Zijun hugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Hold me." Yi Xichen immediately obeyed and hugged his waist with both hands.
The eldest grandson Jun stepped a little, and the two of them also rushed into the lightning wall!
Yi Xichen only felt a strong light around him, and he closed his eyes. He was held tightly in the arms of his eldest grandson, Jun, and the lightning did not fall on him at all. After a while, the strong light weakened, and Yi Xichen felt that the irritation on his eyelids had lessened, so he opened his eyes.
They have passed through the wall of lightning and reached the surface of the void sea.
"Hey, you are really invincible!" Yi Xichen excitedly pounded on the shoulder of his eldest grandson Jun. The cultivation was from his eldest grandson Jun, so he was confident, but Yi Xichen was not, so he was greatly relieved to pass the first level smoothly and be protected unharmed.
However, the eldest grandson Jun looked a little bewildered. This lightning wall... is too weak... It's not much stronger than Yue Xiaorou's lightning sword...
Soon, they saw Xiao Li not far away. Xiao Li did not leave, but stood there, waiting for them.
At this time, Gao Tianzhu jumped out of the lightning wall holding his head, and Master Hong Yi followed him out. Gao Tianzhu was stunned for a moment, and shouted in surprise: "Master! I'm here! I'm really here!!"
Master Hong Yi responded, with an expression that was neither happy nor angry: "It's just the beginning, why are you so impatient?"
Gao Tianzhu smiled sheepishly, but he couldn't hide his pride.
However, the other people saw clearly that when Gao Tianzhu came over just now, he was covered with a layer of white light. It was not his own spiritual power, but his master protecting him.
The eldest grandson Zijun glanced at Xiao Li thoughtfully.
In a short while, all the cultivators who could pass through the lightning wall had come here. There were still fifty people when they left the city, but when they got here, even if the beast pill cultivators who had already escaped were counted, there were less than fifteen people left. Among these ten or so people, except for the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen, and the unknown Xiao Li, the rest were almost all well-known figures in the world of cultivation.
Everyone looked at each other and was polite. They set out together in tacit understanding. This time, crossing the Void Boundary was different from the previous attempt to obtain the Cangyun Sword. There was no competition among the monks. As long as they could reach the Void Boundary and see the Void Sect Master, everyone could become his disciple and ask for advice. Therefore, everyone did not need to compete. If they had spare time, it would be best if they could help each other. Only those who could not even protect themselves would worry about being dragged down by others.
The so-called Sea of Nothingness is not a real sea. The "sea water" is nothingness. Nothingness covers the entire world behind the lightning wall, like a huge chaotic vortex. There is no sun on the Sea of Nothingness. Only thunder and lightning illuminate the surroundings in the darkness. The Sea of Nothingness is boundless, and the spiritual power fluctuates strongly. Find the direction with the strongest spiritual power and move forward. That is where the boundary of nothingness is. The weaker ones among the dozen people cannot distinguish the subtle differences in the strong fluctuations of spiritual power, so they look at others blankly.
"It's there." Master Hong Yi pointed in a direction.
Everyone was convinced by him and immediately moved forward in that direction with their swords drawn.
This Void Sea is of no trivial importance. Not to mention the extremely brutal and ferocious beasts and evil spirits, even the thunder and lightning storm alone is too much for Yi Xichen to withstand with his current physical condition. He must always be within the protection range of his eldest grandson Zijun, so he does not even draw his sword, and the two of them share the same sword.
The speed of flying the sword in the sea of nothingness is extremely slow, perhaps because the boundary of nothingness limits the full play of people's spiritual power, or because there is no surrounding scenery to compare with, so the speed seems slow. People riding the sword cannot feel the elegance of flying the sword outside. Instead, it is like riding a small boat, swaying in the sea, not knowing where they are.
Yi Xichen hadn't ridden Chang Sun Zijun's sword for a long time. He hugged Chang Sun Zijun's waist from behind and pressed his chest against his back. It was still that familiar feeling, making him feel extremely safe and want to rely on this person. He hesitated for a moment and rested his chin on Chang Sun Zijun's shoulder.
The eldest grandson Jun's body was visibly stiff. Fortunately, in a place like the Void, he had to be careful with the sword, so his attention was mostly distracted, and the power of the wildness had a relatively limited effect.
People around them noticed their closeness, but they just thought they were a perfect couple and didn't say anything.
Yi Xichen whispered, "Zijun, what do you think that big wolf wants to do?"
The eldest grandson Jun shook his head slightly.
The slave contract is different from the magic snake. The magic snake will erode the mind of the person who is a snake. After a long time, the person will be no different from being dead. He will become a puppet at the mercy of others. How powerful the puppet is depends entirely on the person who controls it. Even if a great man in the world is made into a puppet, if the person who controls the puppet is a child, then the great man will only have the ability of a child. The essence of the slave contract is a contract. The contract maker gives orders to the contractee. He has many means to force the contractee to obey his orders, such as making life worse than death or making him suffer. However, he cannot completely control the mind of the contractee. Therefore, the contractee has his own thoughts on how to complete the order. Therefore, if the contractee is a little smarter, he can find a way to perfunctorily deal with some orders that he is unwilling to execute.
However, Lang Yue's actions did not give them the feeling that he was perfunctory. For example, when breaking into the Void Sea, Lang Yue was seriously injured and had not recovered. If he did not want to break in, he would definitely not be able to break in. But he still risked his life...
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "Once we find them, I will penetrate their sea of consciousness and see for myself."
Yi Xichen nodded: "If we know how their slave contracts and death-substitution techniques were established, we may be able to find a solution."
No matter how smart Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun were, they had never studied this kind of true evil and crooked ways, so naturally they didn't understand it. They only knew that all spiritual contracts were bound to the soul, so even if they killed the beast pill cultivator, they couldn't completely cancel the contract. Only when the beast pill cultivator's soul was scattered, the contract would be canceled. But the most insidious thing about the beast pill cultivator was that he not only made slave contracts for the monsters, but also used a death-substitution technique. If you want to kill him, those poor monsters will die before him. To crack a kind of evil technique, they must first understand it. As they were talking, a sword cultivator not far from them suddenly fell off the sword.
"Ah!" someone screamed, "I've been caught!"
There was nothing around him, yet he was struggling and dancing as if possessed by a demon, as if he was fighting against something invisible. He looked very funny.
But no one laughed.
Yi Xichen suddenly tightened his hands around his eldest grandson Zijun's waist, and said in a calm tone: "It seems like a hand grabbed my foot!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "Hold me tight, don't let go."
The Cangyun Sword under their feet suddenly burst into flames, and Yi Xichen immediately felt the hand holding his ankle loosen invisibly.
"It's the evil spirit!" Master Hong Yi suddenly dived down and caught the swordsman who had just dropped his sword, and said, "Fire!"
The evil spirits are invisible, and are formed from the evil spirits left by people who died in the Sea of Nothingness. They have no spirits, no consciousness of their own, and only an innate hostility towards living things. The only thing they can do and want to do is to plunder lives. Because they are invisible, they can't be killed by swords. Their only weakness is that they are afraid of fire.
The monks recited spells in a hurry. If it was someone with fire spirit root, it would be better. However, some people were pulled off the sword by the evil spirit and fell into nothingness before they could even summon fire.
Most people are already overwhelmed with their own problems, and those who have spare time have tried their best to help others, but there are so many evil spirits that no one can protect everyone.
Master Hong Yi was so busy that he caught two sword cultivators who had dropped their swords. He looked up and his face suddenly changed. He shouted, "Be careful!"
Suddenly, a ball of fire started burning behind Gao Tianzhu. Gao Tianzhu turned his head sharply, panicking. He just felt a strong force pulling him back. He thought it was not good, but before he could react, he felt a burning sensation behind him, and the force disappeared.
He looked confused. Who saved him?
Master Hong Yi flew up and bowed to his eldest grandson Zijun, saying, "Thank you for helping my disciple."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said calmly, "Be careful."
When Gao Tianzhu learned that the person who helped him was his eldest grandson Zijun, he looked unhappy and said awkwardly, "It must be an accidental success..."
Yi Xichen was protected by his eldest grandson Zijun, and no evil spirit dared to approach him. He freed his hands and tried his best to help whoever was in trouble. Although his fire power was not strong, it was better than nothing, and it gave the two monks in trouble a breath of fresh air.
Yi Xichen was looking for someone who needed help, but saw Xiao Li standing aside with his hands behind his back, looking very cool. There was no evil spirit attacking him, and he had no intention of helping anyone, just standing by and watching.
Yi Xichen frowned. He was more and more confused about what kind of person Xiao Li was. When he first saw him smiling friendly and helping the wolf, he thought he was a kind-hearted and enlightened person. But now it seems... He is not a bad person, but he seems to be indifferent to good and evil and friendship. When he helped Lang Yue, it seemed like he was just acting on impulse.
The number of evil spirits increased, and this place became a sea of evil spirits. People became more and more careless, and everyone was being pulled back and forth by several invisible hands. The monks kept calling for fire, but the spiritual power in this void was originally limited. Although the fire could stop it for a while, it could not withstand the strong evil spirit of the increasing number of evil spirits, and the flames always went out after a while. There were fewer and fewer people who had the energy to help others.
A monk was pulled down and his sword fell off. He was holding on to his sword with both hands, and several hands were pulling him down. He was about to collapse, and his fingers holding the sword were gradually loosening. He lowered his head and looked down. There was pure black under his feet. If he fell, he would be swallowed by nothingness. His scalp suddenly went numb, and he screamed for help to Xiao Li, who was closest to him: "Daoyou, save me!"
However, Xiao Li just stood on his sword and watched. The smile on his face was hopeful, but his words were despairing: "Sorry, there's nothing I can do."
Master Hong Yi rushed over to save the staggering swordsman, but he heard Gao Tianzhu screaming, "Master!"
Master Hong Yi turned around and saw that Gao Tianzhu was being strangled by an invisible hand. His face flushed red and his feet had already left his sword. As long as the invisible hand loosened, he would fall into the abyss of nothingness.
Master Hong Yi gritted his teeth and finally chose his disciple, chanting incantations to rescue Gao Tianzhu.
The eldest grandson Zijun protected Yi Xichen and at the same time helped another nearby monk to get out of trouble, and he didn't care about the poor man.
"Ah!!" There was only a scream. Although the swordsman held on and did not let go, his spiritual power was exhausted. He fell into the abyss of nothingness along with his sword. In just a moment, he was swallowed up by the sea of nothingness. No one saw him, and no sound was heard anymore.
"Hurry! Move forward!" Master Hong Yi shouted.
The spiritual power fluctuations here are obviously abnormal, and it seems that this is the place where evil spirits live. It is impossible that the entire Void Sea is like this. As long as they can leave this area, they should be able to get rid of the evil spirits.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light appeared from nothingness, and with a loud bang, it hit a swordsman from the Lingyue School!
When the lightning faded, the swordsman from the Lingyue School had turned into a bloody man, falling straight down along with his sword.
Everyone was almost stunned.
They were so busy fighting the evil spirits that they forgot about the annoying thunderstorms in the void sea. They had no time to focus on defending against the thunderstorms, and as a result, a thunderstorm struck, and the unprepared sword cultivator was immediately severely injured. This time, even his golden elixir would be shattered.
However, Xiao Li, who had been watching coldly, suddenly moved at this moment. He flew over and caught the falling bloody man, pressing his palm on the man's chest, with a black light under his palm. Originally, everyone could feel that the spiritual power of the Lingyue swordsman was dissipating, but after Xiao Li's rescue, his spiritual power dissipation was weakened!
After a while, the bloody swordsman woke up.
Xiao Li said: "Go back, this place is not suitable for you."
The swordsman of the Lingyue School reached out his hand blankly and touched his chest. He had a very strange feeling just now, as if something was leaving his body, not only his spiritual power, but also his memory, life, and some inexplicable things were all lost together. He had never experienced this before, all kinds of feelings were mixed together, as if... his soul was torn apart... But as soon as Xiao Li's hand touched it, those lost things stopped losing, and even the fragmented memory was restored. The only thing that was still losing was his spiritual power. Who... is this person?
