Chapter 12448: Only in but not out
Ye Chen discovered that the water poured into his throat seemed to carry a special spiritual energy. After drinking it, he felt more energetic, his body recovered faster, and the wound on his throat healed quickly.
However, he clearly felt that these waters contained a sacred and bright power, which was the same breath as the Tianguang Divine Water.
This sacred and bright power has a strong brainwashing effect and can blank a person's mind. Its effect is similar to that of the Heavenly Light Divine Water.
Fortunately, Ye Chen has a strong heart of Taoism and has been exposed to the Tianguang Divine Water many times, so this brainwashing effect has no effect on him.
"This water is called Nine Springs Weak Water? How come it also has the aura of Heavenly Light?"
Ye Chen was very confused. Although the light energy of the Nine Springs Weak Water could never be compared with the Heavenly Light Divine Water, it still had the aura of Heavenly Light and was no small matter.
After drinking the Nine Springs Weak Water, Ye Chen regained some strength. He wanted to stand up and thank him, but he saw the old man in gray robe with a gloomy face, who didn't seem to be a good person.
He was startled and did not move, continuing to lie on the ground pretending to be dead.
The grey-robed old man did not notice anything unusual. Seeing that Ye Chen's throat wound had healed, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Take him back. This kid looks strong and is a good material for a puppet."
Several strong men tied Ye Chen to the horse.
The old man in gray robe led the team forward.
Ye Chen was full of curiosity and quietly adjusted his breathing without revealing his identity.
In this world of ghosts and corpses, the sky and the earth are filled with majestic and strange ghost energy. Under the cover of this ghost energy, the breath of reincarnation on Ye Chen's body is also covered up. As long as he does not expose it actively, it will not be exposed.
As the team moved forward, Ye Chen saw that the world was dark and gloomy. Sometimes some corpses and ghosts would crawl out from the ground, but they were all killed by the warriors in the team.
These warriors were quite powerful, and although they encountered many attacks from ghosts along the way, nothing unexpected happened.
About half a day later, Ye Chen saw a tribal village in front of him. Smoke was rising from the tribe and many villagers were making fires and cooking.
The grey-robed old man who was the leader of his team looked at the increasingly dark sky, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, we got back before dark."
Ye Chen's heart moved. How to get back before dark? Is there still a difference between day and night in the sea of corpses?
He looked carefully and found that the sky was indeed much darker than before. With the help of God's will, Ye Chen roughly knew that there was no distinction between day and night in this world, but there was a difference between light night and late night.
When night falls, or "it's dark", ghosts will roam everywhere and the environment will become extremely dangerous.
"Ancestor, you're back? What did you gain today?"
In the village, the villagers saw the gray-robed old man's team returning, and many people came out to greet them, and some asked.
The grey-robed old man sighed and said, "The spiritual energy in the Land of Rotten Bones is becoming increasingly thinner. What can we gain? It's good enough that no one died."
After a pause, the old man pointed at Ye Chen on horseback and said, "However, we found a foreign warrior. He was probably swept in by the turbulence of time and space. I have washed him with the Nine Springs Weak Water. I will train him into a puppet. It will be useful in fighting against ghosts in the future."
"Huh?" At this moment, a surprised voice came from an elegant thatched house in the village, "Why is there the breath of reincarnation?"
A young girl came out of the thatched hut. When she saw Ye Chen on horseback, she looked very surprised.
“Isn’t this the Lord of Reincarnation?”
"Master Wan Gu, you... you picked up the Lord of Samsara?"
The grey-robed old man was called Master Wan Gu. He was also stunned when he heard what the girl said. He looked at Ye Chen in astonishment and said, "This... this kid is the Lord of Reincarnation?"
Ye Chen was also stunned. He didn't expect that someone here recognized him.
"Hurry up and untie the Lord of Samsara! You are really crazy. How dare you disrespect such an important person."
The girl said hurriedly.
Master Wangu was also a little panicked. Although the ghost sea of corpses was in a closed area, he was of course well aware of the name of the Lord of Reincarnation.
Previously, Ye Chen lit the life lamp, and the light of reincarnation also shone on the sea of corpses in the ghost den, causing a huge sensation.
Reincarnation lights the lamp of life, indicating that the path of reincarnation has a lighthouse, and the future destiny of the starry sky may belong to reincarnation.
He really didn't dare to offend a big shot like the Lord of Reincarnation.
At that moment, Master Wan Gu hurriedly untied Ye Chen.
Seeing that they seemed to have no ill intentions, Ye Chen opened his eyes and saw the young girl in front of him. She was wearing a plain dress. Among the dusty villagers around her, the girl had a fresh and natural temperament, standing out from the crowd and exceptionally outstanding.
Especially the girl's black hair, which was smooth and shiny, like a black waterfall. Ye Chen had never seen such beautiful hair before. Between each strand of hair, there was a little bit of tiny starlight flowing.
Under the reflection of these tiny stars, the girl's already delicate and fair skin looks even more delicate.
She is not human.
Ye Chen had this feeling instantly.
That is not a temperament that a human can possess.
It's a god.
She is either the Pillar God or the incarnation of the Pillar God!
"Is Daoyou really the Lord of Reincarnation?"
Master Wan Gu looked at Ye Chen and asked tentatively.
"Well, it's me."
Ye Chen looked at the girl, secretly calculating good and bad luck in his heart. He didn't expect that he would encounter a pillar god just after arriving at the sea of corpses. He didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.
There is naturally no need to lie in front of the Pillar God.
Master Wan Gu was immediately panicked and said, "I never thought that the famous Lord of Samsara would come here. I have offended him before."
"This... I also gave you Nine Springs Weak Water..."
The young girl said, "Don't panic, Master Wan Gu. The Nine Springs Weak Water is only enough to erode the Dao heart of the Lord of Samsara."
Master Wan Gu took a closer look and saw that Ye Chen's eyes were clear and bright, and it was obvious that he was not affected at all. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Chen smiled and said to the girl, "Are you a pillar god? Which pillar god are you?"
The girl was stunned when she heard Ye Chen's straightforward question. After thinking for a while, she said, "I'm not a Pillar God, um, but I can be considered one, alas."
Ye Chen said: "Yes is, no is not, what does it mean?"
He looked around and saw that Master Wangu and many villagers seemed to be hesitant to talk, and it was obvious that there was something hidden.
The girl sighed again and said, "Let's talk about it later. You can call me Yan Xueci. I am an outsider just like you."
"I was swept into the turbulence of the starry sky disaster a hundred years ago. What about you?"
The other side of the starry sky is filled with dark natural disasters and many space-time turbulence storms. Once a warrior walking in it is swept by the space-time turbulence, he may fall into some unknown dangerous place.
"I was also swept into the turbulence of time and space."
Ye Chen said it directly without blinking, without revealing his true purpose.
He now has profound attainments in the art of memory, so even if he lies, others will not be able to detect the flaws.
Yan Xueci frowned slightly and said, "This is troublesome. You can only enter the Sea of Corpses, but you can't leave. The laws of this world are self-contained. Even if you are the Lord of Reincarnation, it will be very difficult for you to break the laws and leave."
"At least in the past ten thousand years, I have never seen anyone who could get out."
Ye Chen said: "What did you say? You can only go in, but not out? Am I going to be trapped here forever? Impossible, I want to leave, who in this place can stop me?"
Ye Chen didn't believe that he would be trapped here.
Yan Xueci said: "Alas, what trapped you is not people, but the law."
She looked at the sky and saw that it was already midnight, so she said, "Forget it, it's getting dark, I'll welcome you first."
Ye Chen was previously injured by the sharp edge of the World Breaking and Melting Heaven Sword, and his head was almost chopped off. At this time, his injuries have not yet fully recovered, and he really needs to rest. He nodded and said, "Then excuse me for bothering you."
At that moment, Yan Xueci invited Ye Chen to go home and asked Master Wangu to prepare wine and food.
The three of them were having a feast together. Ye Chen heard the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling from time to time outside the village. He couldn't help but frowned and said:
"Is there any demon causing trouble outside?"
Yan Xueci said, "It's the ghosts howling. There are a lot of skeletons deposited in the rotten bone land. These corpses have turned into ghosts and will crawl out when it gets dark."
"But don't worry, the tribe has the Green-haired Fairy's protective formation, so ghosts can't get in. It's very safe here."
Ye Chen's heart moved, and he asked, "Green-haired fairy?"
Yan Xueci said: "Well, have you ever heard of the legend of the Great Original God?"
Ye Chen said: "I've heard a little bit. It is said that there are seven great primordial gods, which are transformed from the split bodies of the primordial."
Yan Xueci said: "Yes, the Fairy of Green Hair is one of the seven great Primordial Source Gods. Her hair was originally from the Primordial Source."
Hearing this, Ye Chen was shocked. He looked at Yan Xueci's hair that was dotted with tiny starlight and said, "Are you the Green Hair Fairy?"
Yan Xueci smiled bitterly and said, "I am, but I am not either."
Ye Chen was confused and asked, "What's going on?"
The seven primordial source gods are related to Taichu. If Ye Chen could know the secrets of the primordial source gods, or even establish contact with them, it would be of great benefit to his future.
Yan Xueci sighed and said, "We'll talk about the cause and effect later."
"Actually, there's no point in saying it. We can't get out anyway."
“Although the sea of corpses in the ghost den is not small, compared with the vast starry sky, it is just a prison.”
"And we will be trapped in this prison for the rest of our lives, and we will never see our relatives and friends outside again."
She looked at the dark night outside the window with a sad look in her eyes, full of melancholy.
Ye Chen's heart was also touched, and he tried to communicate with the outside world, but he found that there was a dark ghost fog in front of him. He could not see anything in the outside world, and he could not contact anyone.
It's even impossible to contact Ren Feifan.
Master Wan Gu said, "How can this be considered a prison?"
"The world here was formerly called the Holy Land of Divine Skeletons. It was a sacred place created by the Skeleton Ancestor, and the ground was full of golden holy light. Although it has fallen now, there is still some remnant of divine energy on the Ghost Den White Bone Island."
"In terms of territory, our world is as vast as a galaxy. How can it be called a prison?"
His tone sounded a little indignant. He was obviously a native of the Ghostly Sea of Corpses. He had a strong sense of belonging to his homeland and would not tolerate outsiders slandering it.
"Skeleton Ancestor?"
Ye Chen keenly caught the name and said, "Is he also the Great Original God?"
Yan Xueci said, "Yes, the Skeleton Ancestor is the skeleton of the beginning. This world was created by the Skeleton Ancestor. It has long been corrupted and bred with countless white-bone ghosts and endless death resentment. It can be roughly divided into three areas."
"The outermost area is the Land of Rotten Bones, and then there is the endlessly dark Ghost Cave Corpse Sea. In the sky above the center of the Ghost Cave Corpse Sea, there is a huge island made of bones. Legend has it that it is made of the bones of the Skeleton Ancestor, and it is called the Ghost Cave Bone Island."
"We are now in the Land of Rotten Bones, the most remote, dark and desolate place in the entire world. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is almost exhausted, and cultivation is very difficult."
"The Land of Rotten Bones, the Sea of Corpses, the Island of Bones..."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. This was the structure of the world of the Ghost Cave and the Sea of Corpses. It didn’t look complicated at all.
And this world was created by the Skeleton Ancestor among the seven primordial source gods himself, so the spiritual foundation of the earth veins must be very deep.
Previously, the World-Breaking and Sky-Melting Sword absorbed the energy and blood gushing out from under the earth, and suddenly burst into a sharp edge for a moment. It is estimated that it is related to the spiritual essence of the earth veins.
This is the world created by the Primordial God. There should be abundant source energy in the earth veins. It may be this source energy that stimulates the Sky-Melting Sword that breaks boundaries, causing it to burst out with a sudden sharp edge.
However, the sharp edge only lasted for a moment. If Ye Chen wanted to truly sharpen the sword, he would need to find another opportunity.
"In short, Lord of Samsara, this world can only be entered, not left."
"You and I will be trapped here forever."
"We can make friends, so at least we won't be too lonely in the future."
Yan Xueci stared at Ye Chen with a dazed look in his eyes.
As a fellow outsider, she felt a sense of closeness to Ye Chen.
"Well, make friends."
Ye Chen raised his glass and clinked it with Yan Xueci's. He responded casually, but deep down he didn't believe that this world could trap him.
After eating and drinking, Master Wan Gu arranged a place for Ye Chen to live, which was next to Yan Xueci's house.
Ye Chen was finally able to calm himself down. He silently adjusted his breathing to recover his body, then took out the Sky-Breaking Melting Sword and tried to seize the opportunity. He wanted to see if there was any opportunity in this place that could sharpen the Sky-Breaking Melting Sword.
But in this damn place, the darkness and fog were so thick that Ye Chen couldn’t see anything for a moment.
After living in the tribe for three days, Ye Chen's condition has completely recovered to its peak. During this time, he asked Yan Xueci about her origins, wanting to know what her relationship was with the Green Hair Fairy, but she kept shaking her head and refused to say anything.
Master Wangu and the other villagers also seemed to be keeping it a secret.
Yan Xueci was a little surprised to see that Ye Chen had fully recovered to his peak condition in just three days. He said:
"Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, you recover so quickly. There is no spiritual energy in the Land of Rotten Bones. Even with the spiritual energy depleted, you can still recover so quickly. You are truly a genius!"
There was a bit more admiration and respect in her eyes when she looked at Ye Chen.
"No spiritual energy from heaven and earth? Isn't the spiritual energy from heaven and earth very rich?"
Ye Chen was a little confused. This world was filled with rich ghost energy from the abyss. Although it was dirty, evil and weird, it was also a special kind of energy. After being absorbed and transformed, it could also become nutrients for the body.
Especially since Ye Chen holds the power of death, this dark, weird and dirty aura can actually strengthen his power.
Yan Xueci was stunned and said, "Where is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? There is only dead energy here."
Ye Chen said: "Death energy is also a kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Yan Xueci was even more stunned. He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief and asked, "Can you absorb death energy?"
