Chapter 333 - 333 Demonic Beast Bones (2)
333 Demonic Beast Bones (2)
“Even if you want to leave this place, you’ll probably have to walk into the depths of the Burial Ground. I’m afraid it’s impossible to climb up the waterfall again!”
Jiang Ming was stunned when he heard that. He sighed after a moment. What else could he do? This was the only way.
“However, I have to eat all these fish first!”
Jiang Ming then continued to roast the fish. As he ate, he tried his best to refine its power. His entire body was emitting heat that turned into wisps of fire.
!!He wanted to seal these fish and bring them out of this place to slowly refine them. However, these fish were originally formed from soul jade after entering this place. If they turned back into soul jade after leaving this place, then his efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, even if he had to pay the price of losing some essence, Jiang Ming had to finish refining and eating them here.
“Friend, please go ahead.” Jiang Ming asked the black sword to start eating as well.
“I’ve had two. It’s enough. It’s useless to eat more!” the black sword explained as it hovered at the side. Then, it fell silent. No one knew what it was thinking about.
Jiang Ming’s heart stirred. Ever since the black sword followed him, he had treated it well. Today, the golden fish transformed from the Soul Jade were even more extraordinary. It had a wonderful effect on the divine soul and divine will. Would the black sword recover some of its memories now?
However, the black sword did not say anything. Thus, Jiang Ming did not ask. After spending time with it, he felt that it was not so bad.
“I wonder when it will be able to remember what happened on that starlit path?” Jiang Ming said to himself. That entire trip still felt like a dream to him
That old man should be the strongest among the Saints. Who knew what his destiny would be? Would there be a day when they would meet again in the future?
Suddenly, Jiang Ming felt his head shake, and his entire divine soul seemed to be trembling violently.
He hurriedly looked into his glabella and immediately saw a shocking scene.
Deep between his eyebrows, there was a place that was neither real nor illusory. A ball of blazing golden light floated. It emitted wisps of light that flowed to his body.
This golden light was Jiang Ming’s divine will.
The divine soul of an ordinary cultivator did not have a specific form and was as erratic as smoke. Once it was attacked, it was almost defenseless.
After the divine soul transformed into the divine will, it became a tangible body. The difference between the divine soul and the divine will was like snow and ice. They were not on the same level at all.
Therefore, even if Jiang Ming did not cultivate his immortality, he could still suppress and defeat anyone at his level with his divine will.
To be precise, it was not his divine will, but the place where his divine will was located that was changing.
The surroundings of his divine will were originally a gray void. However, as Jiang Ming’s divine will shone, the gray fog retreated rapidly wherever the golden light went.
Under his divine will, a surface of water seemed to appear, reflecting the shadow of his divine will.
The surface of the water was as clear as a mirror and very calm. It was unknown how deep it was. However, as the light of the divine will shone on it, it rapidly expanded. After a few minutes, it stopped.
A ball of golden light was suspended above the calm, clear water. Wisps of mist were swirling on the surface, as if the light of the divine will and the water vapor were blending and complementing each other.
Jiang Ming was a little surprised and uncertain. He felt the transformation of his divine will. It was now more closely connected to his body. With a thought, he could control his divine will more freely.
“My soul sea!”
Jiang Ming muttered to himself. After carefully observing the changes, he finally made a final judgment.
In fact, when he saw the sudden change in his divine will, he had already realized what was about to happen. However, when it actually happened, Jiang Ming still found it hard to believe. He did not dare confirm it immediately.
“Can this even be called a burial ground? This is clearly a blessed land,” Jiang Ming muttered in a strange tone. He never thought that he would open his soul sea here.
When mortals set foot on the path of cultivation, they needed to open up their spiritual core and place their spiritual energy in it. All the cultivation fruits on the path of cultivation were in it.
Other than the spiritual core, there was another mysterious place in the body of an immortal cultivator, called the soul sea.
The divine soul of an ordinary cultivator was like a floating piece of seaweed. It could only slowly grow stronger with an increase in cultivation. When the divine soul transformed into a divine will and became powerful, it could open up a soul sea with the power of the divine will.
From then on, his spiritual energy would be placed in his soul sea and would complement each other. It would become more stable and tenacious, and he would be able to grow faster.
Apart from that, the soul sea itself was also a layer of protection. It had all kinds of wondrous uses and was a mystical place that was not inferior to the spiritual core. It had a great effect on cultivation.
However, opening up a soul sea had always been an extremely difficult task. According to the records, even among Golden Core Realm cultivators, only less than a tenth of those who had condensed their divine will could open up a soul sea.
Most of the cultivators could only open their soul sea in one go when they broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Only then would they be considered a powerful expert.
And now, Jiang Ming had actually opened his soul sea at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. This was almost unheard of. At the very least, he had never heard of such a thing in the ancient books he had read.
“I’ve already opened my soul sea at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. When I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, how much will my divine will grow?”
Jiang Ming could not help but think about this. Then, he saw a few grilled fish on the wooden shelf and quickly ate them all.
The extremely pure power seeped into his soul sea and fused into his divine will, instantly making the blazing golden light even more dazzling. His entire soul sea seemed to be surrounded by wisps of cultivation runes, making it even more extraordinary.
“Let’s go and take a look in the distance!”
After eating, Jiang Ming also stood up and looked along the length of the river. The mountains were high, the sky was clear, and there seemed to be bees and butterflies dancing. It was like a paradise.
Jiang Ming went down the river and saw some animals from time to time. Rabbits with fiery orange fur scurried back and forth in the grass, and white unicorns leaped into the sky. Countless living beings lived in this unworldly land, undisturbed by the outside world.
“Is this the Burial Ground? Why is it like a paradise?” Jiang Ming muttered to himself.
“The Burial Ground is formed by the cultivation fruit, the sacred body, and even the will of a Saint. It represents the great cultivation of a supreme existence. However, it might also be entrusted with a certain yearning of that existence. Perhaps this fairy-like place is a place that this fallen Saint yearned for,” the black sword said.
Jiang Ming did not comment on it. He did not have any intention of delving into the place the Saints yearned for. He just wanted to find out if there was any treasure here. If there was none, he had to leave as soon as possible. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was still like a cage. It was not a good thing.
“Hmm? What’s that?”
Suddenly, Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed. He saw a huge white skeleton standing on a huge rock. It was the remains of some demonic beast. Even though it had died and only its bones were left, it still stood tall.
The skeleton had eight legs and three heads, and it exuded an ancient aura. The white bones glistened under the sunlight like jade, casting a large shadow.
He moved his body and approached the giant rock. It was not until he reached the skeleton that he realized that the skeleton was shockingly large. Jiang Ming stood in front of it like an ant.
“It is at least a thousand feet tall!”
Jiang Ming was amazed. Looking up at the skeleton, it was like a towering mountain. Even the bones of its toes were as thick as a pillar.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying this creature would have been when it was alive. It was likely that it could crush a mountain with a light step.
“This is a creature from the previous era!” the black sword’s voice suddenly rang out with a hint of inexplicable shock.
