"It's interesting..." Chen Hao muttered to himself, turned around and continued flying north.
After the four waves of demons passed, there were no more hordes of demons, and Chen Hao returned to his fastest speed.
Another day and night passed.
Chen Hao arrived at the end of his last trip to the depths of the Northern Territory.
There is nothing special about this place. It is still filled with mountains and plains and an endless black desert.
But here, you can see the red line.
Chen Hao stopped and looked forward.
As expected, he saw the red line again.
The scene was exactly the same as last time. On the horizon at the end of the vision, a dark red line was looming.
If it weren't for Chen Hao's current spiritual and physical form, and his state was at the peak of the late Mahayana, he would really not have been able to see it.
In other words, if he returns to his physical form, he will actually not be able to see the red line.
Chen Hao floated motionless in the air, staring at the red line, and the creepy feeling of uncontrollable fear arose in his heart again.
This feeling of terror is very real.
It's like the kind of situation where ordinary people face a weird and unknown situation, with the hair on their bodies standing on end, adrenaline surging, and they can't even shout or move even if they want to.
But Chen Hao did not look away, but endured the feeling of terror and stared straight at the red line.
The best way to eliminate fear is to face it head on.
There is no use in escaping.
Looking at the red line, Chen Hao's feeling of terror became stronger and stronger.
He couldn't help but think of a horror movie "The Ring" he once watched when he was an ordinary person on Earth.
The scariest part of this movie is when Sadako climbs out of the well, then gets closer to the camera, and then climbs out of the TV.
But now, the red line feels ten times more terrifying to Chen Hao than it did then.
Chen Hao even had a vague hallucination, as if the red line had turned into a conscious sea of blood, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards him viciously, swallowing him up.
"All promising methods are like bubbles in a dream, like lightning or dew..." Chen Hao silently recited the Buddhist words and performed the exercises. In an instant, his mind became clear and he entered a mysterious and mysterious "empty" state.
No worries and no fears.
Immediately, the fear disappeared.
It's not that the sense of terror in the red line disappears, but that in the "empty" state, the sense of terror can no longer effectively intrude on Chen Hao.
Just like a movie, no matter how scary it is, it has no effect on a blind person.
Chen Hao continued to fly forward.
He has surpassed the end point of his last trip to the depths of the Northern Territory, and every meter he advances now is a brand new unknown.
The black desert is still endless, like the night sky of the universe, with no end.
As Chen Hao flew, he looked at the red line and observed the Northern Territory with his spiritual consciousness.
At the beginning, everything seemed to be the same, nothing had changed.
But as Chen Hao flew farther and farther, he gradually discovered something strange.
The first is the red line, which is becoming more and more eye-catching. If it was faintly visible before, it is now clearer.
And Chen Hao discovered that the red line is not a line, but light.
It's like a layer of gold on the horizon when the sun rises.
The same is true for the red line, which is actually red light.
But it turned out that Chen Hao was too far away from it and the light was dim, so it looked like a line.
As we get closer, the sense of terror brought by the red line becomes more intense.
Ordinary monks below the Nascent Soul stage cannot face such a sense of terror at all, even if they use spells such as the Pure Heart Curse, it will be useless. If they are forced to face it, they will definitely go crazy or become possessed.
Even if the cultivator can face it, he will not be able to move forward.
The Void Refining cultivator can only approach normally when he closes his eyes and does not look directly.
The monks in the integration stage can face it, but they can't get rid of the growing sense of terror in their hearts.
It is estimated that only Mahayana monks will not be affected.
Chen Hao was running his skills to offset the erosion of the fear, and continued to fly forward without feeling sad or happy.
If the abnormality in the red line is normal, then the changes in the northern region have become unpredictable.
The Northern Territory is still an endless desert, but it is no longer black, but gradually turning gray, with a faint tendency to turn white.
Some areas even turned pure white.
Chen Hao didn't know where this change came from.
He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found that these white areas were essentially no different from the black desert, except that the colors were reversed.
The black desert is gradually transforming into a white desert.
Although it is only a change in color, for Chen Hao, the experience with the naked eye has improved a lot.
After all, monks are also human beings, and they naturally like light and white, not darkness.
And against the white background, everything becomes more eye-catching.
Those colorful wild monsters can even be seen with the naked eye.
However, after the color change in the Northern Territory, Chen Hao gradually saw fewer monsters.
The strange thing is that there are fewer monsters but more ghosts.
But these ghosts are different from normal ghosts in that they have no freedom.
Because these ghosts are all attached to a fixed environment.
These environments are very strange, like natural risks but not like natural risks.
For example, there was a gray forest. Chen Hao didn't know what kind of tree it was. He could only see that the trees were gray, the branches were gray, and the leaves were also gray.
There are no weeds or soil on the ground in the woods, only a patch of large and small oval shadows.
This forest is like what is shown in a black and white animation. It seems to be reality, but it is extremely weird.
Ghosts are hidden behind every tree in the woods.
When Chen Hao passed by, his spiritual consciousness saw ghost faces poking out from behind the tree, looking in the direction he flew by.
Of course, these ghosts couldn't see Chen Hao, because they were looking in the wrong direction, and they were all biased.
But they seem to feel it.
However, other than looking at each other behind the tree, the ghosts did nothing. They just watched quietly, as if they were harmless monkeys.
Chen Hao naturally did not believe that they were really harmless to humans and animals, so he did not test them and just passed by under the gaze of the ghosts.
The ghost faces did not chase him out of the woods, but quietly watched Chen Hao leave.
Chen Hao faintly heard the sound of rustling behind him. When he looked back, he saw the gray-white forest swaying in the direction of him.
As the trees swayed, gray-white leaves fell off the branches, and shot towards Chen Hao like an arrow from a string.
Chen Hao did not change his color and watched quietly.
Because the speed of the leaves is far slower than his speed, it is impossible to catch up with him.
Sure enough, after shooting for a while, the gray-white leaves gradually slowed down, finally became weak and slowly fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, a strange scene happened.
The gray-white leaves were like sulfuric acid, quickly melting a hole in the ground and then slowly sinking.
The same goes for other leaves.
For a moment, the ground was full of hissing holes, and streams of white smoke came out.
