Chapter 22 Foreign Objects from the Fifth Realm
The fourth realm.
Another deep dark night has fallen.
In a corner of the Cenji Mountains, a group of dark ghosts led by Jin Yang gathered at the edge of the black water pool, staring at the calm water surface in a daze, with strange expressions on their faces.
In the dark night of the lower world, only practitioners like them can see the surrounding scene.
For ordinary people who have not yet embarked on the path of spiritual practice, in such a deep night, it is difficult to distinguish things around them without the help of lights and other light sources.
Because Jin Yang gave the order, the dark ghosts did not hold the lamps, and a group of people were scattered around the pool like ghosts.
However, Kuhou did not see Ouyang Duanhai and Pang Jian emerging from the dark pool water for a long time.
Neither of them has reached the realm of marrow cleansing, and they do not have the ability to breathe underwater for a long time.
"It seems that whether we turn on the lights or not, we won't let them show up on their own initiative."
"Maybe they turned into bones under the water."
"..."
Everyone discussed among themselves and kept their voices low for fear of being heard by the two people underwater.
The man wearing the mask, whose patience was almost exhausted, said to Jinyang: "We have also tried it. After throwing the corpses into the pool, all the flesh and blood were quickly dissolved. They should not be able to hold on for that long. Are we going to keep doing this?
Is this a waste of time?"
In order to verify Jinyang's statement, they brought the nearest corpses of Zhang Heng and Zhang Hu brothers, as well as several poisoned horses, and threw them into the black water pool and then pulled them down.
It's the same as what happened in Jinyang, except that when you pull it up, you'll find bones.
The flesh and blood has been corroded away.
They immediately knew that the water in the pool was strange, because when they first inspected the Blackwater Pool, Jin Yang had clearly been to the withered bone, and some of them had touched the water.
The water in the pond at that time did not have strong corrosive poison, and they had no abnormality at that time.
Even though he had a safe experience, after a "Cicada Wing Sword" changed into water, Jinyang dared to test the water with his left hand, and the result was that his left hand turned into white bones.
"My intuition tells me that the young hunter named Pang Jian and Ouyang Duanhai have not had their flesh and blood corroded by the pond water."
Under the dark night, Jin Yang's voice was full of coldness and solemnity, letting everyone present know that he was really angry this time.
"How do they breathe underwater?"
Another dark ghost leader Qidao stood beside the giant silver net.
"I also want to know why! I also want to know why Pang Jian's arm bones and sternum are as strong as gold and iron, and even my cicada-winged sword cannot cut them off!" Jin Yang shouted fiercely.
"Hiss!"
Everyone by the pool suddenly heard the sound of a python swimming, so they turned to look.
Hong Tai, the person in charge of this operation, rode the python with black and white patterns, came to the crowd with a grimace, and sighed: "That boy from the Zhou family escaped."
He gave a brief explanation, saying that Zhou Qingchen had more than just a heart-protecting mirror, and that he could always avoid his killing moves with the strange treasures.
In the end, Zhou Qingchen fled to the turbid stream and swam into the river. He didn't know where he swam.
The river had experienced a violent storm a while ago, and the water was too turbid. He could not see Qingchen's movements next to the river, so he returned after searching to no avail.
"We are in a similar situation. A hunter named Pang Jian and Ouyang Duanhai, who is neither human nor ghost, are both huddled under the black water pool and their lives are unknown." The masked leader of the Tongmai Realm immediately surrounded the area.
Description of the situation.
"The water in Blackwater Pond has changed. Can the water corrode flesh and blood?"
Hong Tai was obviously shocked. He rode the big python to the pond, patted the python under him, and ordered: "Show me what's weird about the pond!"
The python he had tamed came close to the dark pool of water, its green snake eyes glowing with light, and he tapped the pool water with his snake tongue.
"laugh!"
The python's snake heart emitted a little smoke, and its cold snake eyes suddenly showed fear.
Hong Tai suddenly lost his temper.
He immediately got down from the python, reached the snake's head, put his ear to the python's smoking mouth, and assumed a listening posture.
"Dark giant anaconda! There is a dark giant anaconda hidden at the bottom of the black water pool!"
Hong Tai screamed uncontrollably and took a few steps back uneasily, fearing that the "dark giant anaconda" in his mouth would suddenly rush out.
There are more than a dozen dark ghost monks surrounding the Black Water Pond, but most of them, including the two Tongmai Realm bosses, don't know what the "dark giant anaconda" is.
Only Jin Yang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "Impossible! There is no way that the dark giant anaconda can use its own power to step into the world where we live from the fifth realm of eternal darkness!"
"...Foreign objects from the fifth realm?!"
The two dark ghost leaders finally understood what the "dark giant anaconda" mentioned by Hong Tai and Jin Yang was.
The fifth realm below them is a place of eternal darkness.
According to legend, all life that can survive in the fifth realm is full of unimaginable evil and terror.
The fifth realm and the fourth realm have always been in a rupture stage, and almost no life in the fourth realm dares to enter the fifth realm.
Not to mention the practitioners of the fourth realm, even the major cultivators of the third and second realms will not easily get involved.
Same thing.
The terrifying foreign objects operating in the fifth realm seem to be unable to break out and escape from that terrifying world.
If the "dark giant anaconda" is a foreign object from the fifth realm, it is logically impossible to sneak into Beiqi, the fourth realm, and huddle in a black pool in the Silent Mountains after leaving.
"I heard from the leader that the dark giant anacondas that haunt the fifth realm are at their weakest level four ferocious beasts or spiritual beasts."
"The fourth level of ferocious beasts and spiritual beasts is roughly equivalent to the strength of us Xiantian realm practitioners. Since there is a dark giant anaconda in the black water pool, and it may not be the weakest level four, then we..."
Strong as Hong Tai was retreating from the bottom of his heart.
…
Among dense trees.
The trace of the enchanting blood shadow was vague, and when Hong Tai's captive python passed through the pond, it was confirmed that there was a "dark giant anaconda" at the bottom of the pond, and it also changed color slightly.
"A snake becomes a python, a python becomes an anaconda, an anaconda becomes a dragon, and a dragon turns into a dragon. The dark giant anaconda should not be able to break out of the terrifying fifth realm, nor can it hide in the black water pool for no reason."
"Unless someone brought it up and fed it...in the Blackwater Pond."
She was awestruck, looking deeply at the black water pool, her face gradually becoming solemn.
I thought that after gradually regaining her strength, she would be the strongest person in the Silent Mountains, so she always seemed very calm.
But if someone can enter the fifth realm, which is considered a forbidden area even by gods and ghosts, and capture a "dark giant anaconda" alive and raise it in the black pool.
So, the power this person possesses is such that she will stay away even when she returns to her peak!
"Who could it be?"
"How could such a shocking person be hidden in this deserted mountain forest?"
The woman who wanted to reveal her traces and force the Dark Ghosts to explore the bottom of the pond no longer dared to act rashly.
She became more and more careful to hide her traces, secretly making plans to give up even Phoenix Essence if things went badly.
…
Bottom of the pool.
When Pang Jian woke up again, he found that the spiritual stone he was holding tightly in his hand, as well as the gray-white rock containing the "power of Xuanyin", turned into fine sand and flew away from his fingers.
From the two spiritual stones, he had absorbed a pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth and a powerful force of mysterious yin.
The spiritual sea in his dantian was filled with many types of energy and was still moving slowly.
Because his realm is not enough and his spiritual consciousness has not yet been condensed, he cannot clearly observe the movement of the spiritual sea and can only perceive it vaguely.
He sensed a funnel-shaped vortex appearing in his Dantian.
The vortex is in the center of the Dantian, spinning in circles, constantly pulling in all kinds of energy that fills the Dantian.
The mist-like spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the dark acid poison power, and the gray-white power of Xuanyin slowly gathered from all sides of the whirlpool.
As the funnel-shaped vortex rotates inward in circles, a lot of energy is refined and extracted over and over again.
The tip of the funnel hanging downward receives the washed power above and condenses it into...spiritual power for him to utilize.
"It turns out that this is what is called spiritual practice."
"By turning the energy breath of different attributes into tangible existence, you can clearly feel the spiritual power. This wonderful feeling is like extracting power from the vast mist and condensing it into water droplets."
Pang Jian realized something in his heart and worked harder to gather his strength and practice without sleep or food.
The spiritual stones given by Ning Yao in the bamboo basket were quickly exhausted by him.
From now on, he can only obtain spiritual energy and acid poison powers from the pool, and continue to refine spiritual power in the small world of Dantian.
This went on for a while.
When Pang Jian woke up again, he found that the giant python had a phoenix bone pierced through its head. All the flesh and blood on the python's body had disappeared, leaving only the withered bones like the phoenix bone.
Part of the python's snake bones are still wrapped around the phoenix bones, while the other part is spread out in a ring shape at the bottom of the pond.
It seems to know that it will inevitably die, and it no longer struggles as if it has accepted its fate, quietly waiting for death to come, and for the flesh and blood of its head to be eaten away.
Pang Jian suddenly discovered that the humanoid monster that was far away had become very close at some point.
The humanoid monster stood at the tail of the snake bone, its dark red eyes staring straight at the phoenix bone, its throat "gurgling", full of bloodthirsty desire.
Pang Jian, who felt slightly cold in his heart, frowned and left the python's head, falling directly in front of the python.
In this way, there was a giant python with a hole in its head and an extremely thick phoenix bone between him and the humanoid monster.
The python is still being eaten away.
The disappearance of its flesh and blood gradually spread to the skull, and it looked like it would soon be eaten clean by the phoenix bones.
The giant python, which was in agony, still had memories of this world, and wanted to take one last look at the world under the pond where it had been imprisoned for many years.
So, it slowly opened, revealing a pair of cold and lifeless python eyes.
At first glance, it saw Pang Jian, and saw the bronze pendant that was only slightly exposed in the gap between Pang Jian's chest and clothes.
The "dark giant anaconda" had already resigned itself to waiting for death. In the depths of its lifeless eyes, a huge fear first emerged, as if it had seen the great terror that made it tremble again.
It stared at Pang Jian's face, confusion slowly appearing in its eyes, and a moment later it was filled with overwhelming resentment.
Knowing that it would die sooner or later, it suddenly gathered its remaining strength and struggled wildly again.
The snake bones wrapped around the phoenix bones suddenly broke away in a circle, and then together with the snake's tail, it set off a huge wave at the bottom of the pool and swung it towards Pang Jian fiercely.
