Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 688: Rumors of the Underworld and the Land of Reincarnation

Tianyuan is a strange place with a huge hole that is unfathomable and no one knows where it leads to.

Xu Fan once thought about jumping down to have a look, but due to his timid character, he finally gave up the idea.

After hearing these words, Luo Yan looked at Xu Fan deeply. His first reaction was that he was worthy of being a creature who had existed in the Dao Realm world for a long time. Although he was limited by his vision and the intensity of his soul light, the information he was exposed to was much more than him, a newcomer.

But then, Luo Yan noticed something unusual. The other party seemed to be deliberately leading him over.
"You lead the way." Luo Yan thought about it and decided to explore the area.

If there is something wrong with Xu Fan, and he is a real Soul Clan creature in disguise, he probably won't be able to escape the other party's sight.

Although he had never fought with the Soul Clan creatures, based on the half Soul Clan corpse he had devoured before, Luo Yan was very clear that he was most likely no match for the other party.

If Xu Fan has no problem, it means that the so-called Tianyuan is really a strange place and it is worth exploring.

No matter which of the two situations it is, Luo Yan has no second choice.

So he had no choice but to move forward calmly.

On the seventh day, Luo Yan came to a special area where the sky was as dark as ink and a strange gray air was floating in the air.

The color of the mist gradually dimmed without anyone noticing.

Luo Yan paused and stopped at the periphery, no longer moving forward.

He looked across and felt that the world was like a semicircular cover, covering the world of Taoism, as if a large piece had been cut out abruptly.

In the gray fog, Luo Yan could even see blurry human figures appearing in it and then disappearing.

Such a scene made him feel like he had come to a land of wandering ghosts.

What was even more horrifying was that after arriving at this area, Luo Yan's soul body was also trembling slightly, as if some horrible creature had come close to him, secretly blowing cold wind, caressing his skin, making him feel uneasy and extremely creepy.

"Brother Luo, let's go. Why did you stop?"

Xu Fanton in front was in the fog, and then he asked.

He didn't urge her, but just stood there quietly, giving Luo Yan an eerie sense of tranquility.

With the help of the Divine Eye of Gua Xiang, Luo Yan discovered that those dark auras did not seem to have any destructive power.

But he still didn't dare to be careless, so he summoned a wisp of gray air and then performed divination on himself.

The first thing he performed was the "Six-Aspects Heavenly Secret Method". Countless mysterious forces of destiny became blazing, surging into shape, and then drew a brand new hexagram.

The hexagram is Shan Shui Meng, which means there will be great danger ahead. It is best not to get close, otherwise your life will be in danger.

Afterwards, Luo Yan used the Divine Eye of Hexagrams again and substituted his own fortune into it. Then four round magic coins appeared out of thin air and then slowly rotated.

Finally, the hexagram appears to be one positive and three negative, which means bad luck.

Luo Yan paused, not planning to go any further.

But at this moment, he casually glanced behind him and saw that the round French coin showed signs of changing again.

It was the round French coin on the front, which seemed to be flipped over.

Luo Yan's face darkened and he clenched his fists. He could only look deeply at Xu Fan in front of him, then stepped in without saying a word.

There is indeed something wrong with this guy!

Thirteen days later, the abyss of heaven was in sight.

This foggy land seemed to be a broken place. Although the soul fragments that emerged were only a few, they were very numerous.

They are densely packed and filled in the mist. As far as you can see, it is almost everywhere!
However, Luo Yan still noticed the difference here. If the previous soul creature was a ball of gray special energy, the soul fragments here were more like long silk scarves. There was a very obvious difference in shape between the two.

In the misty fog, one can see the soul fragments devouring each other unconsciously, as if this has become their instinct.

Luo Yan also picked up a wisp of soul fragment and then refined it with his spiritual sense.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, and a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, is it that these soul energies do not meet your requirements?" Xu Fan asked upon seeing this.

Luo Yan shook his head without explaining anything, and his vigilance towards Xu Fan reached its peak.

But he felt a heavy feeling in his heart.

Because he felt a fragment of memory from that fragment of soul, a memory picture that seemed real.

Chen Guo, from Yi County, is the third son of Mr. Yang.

Although it was only a very brief picture, Luo Yan still judged from it that the world did not belong to the True Spirit Realm!
"Is this another creature from the Hengsha Small World?"

Luo Yan whispered, looking at the soul fragments hidden in the mist, and a complex feeling suddenly surged up in his heart.

Rather than saying that these soul fragments are countless, it would be better to say that they are residual souls!

The residual souls of human beings after their death!

In order to confirm his guess, Luo Yan tried again to capture those soul fragments.

Then, he closed his eyes and began to refine it.

Soon, scenes from different memories came flooding back from the depths of his mind.

Moreover, with so many memory fragments filling in, even Luo Yan felt a little uncomfortable, and his head was slightly swollen.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, there are not many soul creatures here. It is not worth wasting time here."

"At the entrance of the Abyss, there are countless soul fragments. They are everywhere as far as the eye can see!"

Xu Fan added on the side. Although he did not urge directly, the meaning between the lines was particularly obvious.

Luo Yan nodded, put away the complicated emotions in his heart, and continued on his way.

Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of Tianyuan.

This is a place similar to a dry well. The entrance is not big, probably only a hundred feet in radius, but it is dark inside.

Any light that drifts here will be instantly swallowed up, and there is a strange aura in the air, which is very similar to yin energy, icy and cold, making people's hair stand on end.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, there are a lot of soul fragments here. You can use them to improve your cultivation."

"I have a natural fear of this kind of place, so I won't go near it."

"By the way, don't forget what you promised me." Xu Fan stood in the fog and did not move forward. It seemed that it was really as he said.

Luo Yan turned around and looked in that direction.

At this time, Xu Fan was surrounded by white mist. Even with his divine eyes, he could only see a little bit of his outline.

A very faint shadow, as if it would disappear at any time.

"How long are you going to keep pretending? There's no point in this!"

"Should I call you the soul clan king?" Luo Yan opened his lips and stopped talking. The figure in the mist was silent, and then changed to a casual tone: "It seems that this king is too impatient, so too many flaws are exposed"

Luo Yan remained silent, the vertical eye between his eyebrows emitting invisible brilliance as he stared at the increasingly blurry figure.

The power of destiny is truly mysterious. Even when spiritual perception is useless, it can still firmly lock onto the opponent's specific location.

“It’s this familiar power again. It really makes me nostalgic.”

"Yes, it is because of this special power that I noticed you." A long sigh was heard in the fog.

"You tricked me here, is there something I can help you with?" Luo Yan's face was solemn, and he looked at the black shadow in the fog with strong vigilance.

He asked directly, trying to understand the other party's purpose.

"Haven't you already checked my memory?"

"I'm just a person who wants to go home," the misty figure sighed again.

Perhaps because his identity was exposed by Luo Yan, this royal member of the Soul Clan no longer concealed his aura. Suddenly, a powerful pressure emerged, causing all the soul fragments in the surrounding area to stand still.

Although those soul fragments had no consciousness, they surrendered instinctively, as if they were welcoming their king.

Only at the entrance to the abyss, soul fragments were still being spewed out, then scattered in the clouds and carried away into the distance by an invisible force.

"What on earth is this place?"

Luo Yan frowned, surprised by the surging pressure, but did not panic too much.

It was obvious that the other party lured him here for a purpose, and it was not just to kill him.

Otherwise, with the strength of a Soul Clan creature, Luo Yan would find it difficult to escape, let alone a royal member of the Soul Clan.

Faced with such an existence, being honest is the best way out.

At the same time, this also confirms why the hexagram that Luo Yan divined changed in an instant a few days later.

If we continue to move forward with Xu Fan, there is still a chance of survival.

If you stop here, you will surely be killed!
"Rumor has it that this is the exit to the underworld and part of the path of reincarnation." The figure in the mist replied truthfully.

The underworld was once the ultimate place that no living being in the heavens and all worlds could escape. After death, any living being would go to that special place.

Some special creatures can even reincarnate through this.

It is one of the most magical places in the heavens!

Even in the hearts of many living beings, the Immortal Palace is not as terrifying as the Underworld.

After all, everyone will die, but becoming an immortal is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
"Hell?"

"Isn't this a spiritual and sensory world? How is it related to that legendary force?" Luo Yan was puzzled, so he asked.

Luo Yan believed that the other party would explain the real purpose to him before telling him.

"I don't know either. I only know that when I woke up, this place looked like this." The figure in the mist responded.

"In fact, when you sensed the memories of those soul fragments, you already noticed something strange about this area, didn't you?"

Luo Yan remained silent and did not refute, because this was indeed the fact.

It’s a very simple truth. If those soul memories are true, it means that they must have been human beings in their lifetime!
How could such a soul come here for no reason?

And it was in wisps, as if it was torn into countless pieces.

Obviously there is some special force behind this.

Secondly, what is the source of existence of those pure soul creatures?
How it was born, how it continues, how it exists forever, etc., all of these must have roots!

Otherwise, it would have become a rootless duckweed and would have disappeared in the long river of time.

Therefore, as early as when he was in the lower world, Luo Yan had felt a little doubtful about this special space composed of the spiritual and sensory world.

It was not until he searched Xu Fan's soul and saw the previous soul fragments that he finally confirmed this fact!

"You want to get out of here?" Luo Yan pointed to where Tianyuan was, and then looked strange.

"People who cultivate that kind of power are so sharp that they can actually get to the essence of things."

Xu Fan was full of admiration, then he walked out of the mist and came to Luo Yan's side.

At this moment, he was no longer afraid of some power in the abyss. He just looked calmly at the dark mouth of the abyss below.

"In the eyes of you people in the real world, creatures like me are the Soul Clan, a completely new race."

"In fact, I know very well that I am just a lonely ghost."

"A lonely ghost that has been dead for many years but still exists." Xu Fan's tone was filled with reminiscence, remembering it here.

"Isn't this good? There is no limit on lifespan and no danger from the outside world. This is what countless cultivators pursue throughout their lives." Luo Yan said.

What is the purpose of practicing?
Let’s not talk about the distant past, such as becoming an immortal, a god, a demon, or a holy king, or existing forever. They are all false.

Most of the cultivators practice in order to solve two most fundamental problems: one is strength, and the other is lifespan.

Moreover, the former is only a byproduct of the latter.

Those who are strong may not necessarily live longer, but those who live longer are definitely strong!

No matter who you are, you want to live, and live for a long time!
"At the beginning, I thought the same thing. After all, I was just a mortal, standing at the bottom of the world, so naturally there was nothing to remember."

"But when I became the Ghost King, I discovered that there was still a force that restricted my level."

Xu Fan spread out his hands, which were surrounded by a black aura that continued to spread.

In just a moment, the black air quickly spread and engulfed Xu Fan's arm, surging like a tide and blooming here.

Luo Yan's eyes were half-narrowed, revealing a solemn look, because he sensed a very serious corrosive aura.

In other words, this kind of energy should be called death energy, death energy that is extremely intense!

‘Wow! ’

Xu Fan shook it lightly, dispersing the dead energy, and then sighed:
"I have consulted several old ghost kings in private, and they all said the same thing, that is, even those high and mighty immortals and gods will have their lifespans expiring one day."

"What's more, for wandering ghosts like them, it is impossible for them to live forever!"

“Perhaps in this world, nothing exists forever.”

"The mountains will collapse, the seas will dry up, and the stars will perish."

Luo Yan turned his head and remained silent. This question was too big and too vague. He had no intention of answering it.

We can only wait for the next step.
