I don't know how far the road is, and I don't know how long it is. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The worst that Shinpei said didn't happen, and although his wisdom was gradually dissipating, Shintian remained a little more awake.

After wandering for an unknown amount of time, Xintian found himself in a gray world.

Vast, mysterious.

It is somewhat similar to the dead soul space in his Wanhua Origin Treasure Bottle, but it is vast and ancient.

The boundless gray world, so vast and thick that it makes people feel their infinitely small.

The air was filled with a gray fog, which looked like a sticky gray quagmire, but Xintian, who still had a bit of wisdom, found that his soul was floating in this gray quagmire, and he couldn't even feel half of the obstacle.

It seems that there is still an expectation of returning to his hometown in his heart, as if he is about to reach the destination of his soul.

Xintian was faintly intoxicated by this feeling.

I don't know how long I wandered like this, until the last bit of wisdom was about to be lost, and in a trance, Xintian heard a low "boom" sound.

Xintian was taken aback, if it weren't for this low and powerful rumbling sound, he was afraid that he would fall into a muddy nightmare in a short time.

Struggling to get the last bit of sanity, Xintian gradually came to his senses.

At this time, the rumbling sound became heavier and heavier, and although it was not deafening, it was especially shocking to people from this oppression that seemed to be beating in the heart.

After a while, Xintian "saw" a long gray river across the sky in front of him.

In the world of thick gray fog, Xintian can still clearly "see" this gray river, which shows how gray this river is.

After "seeing" the long gray river ahead, Xintian's soul involuntarily rushed forward at an unbelievable speed.

However, in Xintian's increasingly sober consciousness, it seemed that a full century had passed, and the long river had not yet arrived, but only "looked" wider.

Xintian simply let go of his attachment to the gray river, and let his soul spontaneously rush forward, and instead paid attention to his own condition.

Ever since he entered this gray world, Xintian has always had a feeling that his soul is about to escape, and this feeling is even stronger after seeing the gray river, if it weren't for the film formed by the dead soul water wrapped around his soul, Xintian believes that his soul will definitely escape in an instant.

That is the true escape, and with the power of faith, it will never be able to be gathered back.

Once such a situation happens, Xintian believes that not only his own soul, but also the soul of Xia Qingqing, who he is coercing, will be completely reduced from a living soul to a dead soul together.

Different from the gray fog in Xintian's dead soul space, the gray fog outside seemed to have a natural restraint on the living soul, and Xintian even had an instinctive feeling - once his soul was directly exposed, it would immediately be dissolved by this gray fog, and there would be no trace of spiritual wisdom left.

This feeling is especially true for me by the long river of gray.

Thankfully, there is a film formed by the water of the dead soul.

This drop of dead soul water came out of the space of Xintian's dead soul, containing a trace of Xintian's own soul will, although the aura was similar to the gray fog outside, it was completely controlled by Xintian's will.

Moreover, after floating for so long, this drop of Dead Soul Water seems to have a tendency to merge with Xintian's soul.

Xintian didn't understand the use of such a fusion, but decided to follow his instincts.

In the film of the Dead Soul Water, Xintian once again dispersed his soul into countless points of light, trying to fuse one of the points of light into the Dead Soul Water Film.

However, the difficulty of this fusion is far beyond Xintian's predictions.

When Xintian took a lot of effort to "stuff" a soul point of light into the Dead Soul Water Film, a strong repulsive force came from the Dead Soul Water Film, instantly repelling this soul light point.

Although they have the same root and origin, after all, "life and death are different".

Moreover, although the Dead Soul Water in the Dead Soul Space contained a trace of Xintian's soul will, it was far less than Xintian's control over his own soul after all, and this kind of deep fusion was far from being as easy as Xintian imagined.

But Xintian was born a person who did not believe in evil, and the gray river in front of him was still out of reach, and Xintian, who was already fully awake, had nothing else to do, so he simply kept pondering the way of integration.

Times...... 10,000 ......

The number of such attempts failed so many times that later, Xintian almost forgot how many times he had tried, and there was only one obsession left - to melt into it and never be squeezed out again.

There may be other ways, but with Xintian's current understanding of living souls and dead souls, this seemingly foolish attempt to move mountains is the only way Xintian can figure it out.

However, it turns out that simple and brutal is always a good solution to the problem, as long as you are patient enough.

When Xintian failed to try again, his heart was suddenly filled with a sense of joy - although the soul light point that "squeezed in" was once again squeezed out, this time it stayed in the film of dead soul water for a second.

Although it is only a second, for Xintian, this second is the dawn of success.

Like a shot in the arm, Xintian instantly struggled out of the depression of countless failed attempts, and tried his best to make his soul light point stay in the dead soul water film longer.

As if a layer of window paper had been pierced, Xintian's next attempt became much more efficient.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

The Soul Water seemed to have adapted to the breath of the soul light point, and the repulsive power became smaller and smaller, and the soul light point stayed in the dead soul water film for longer and longer.

Just when Xintian was happy to do this, a powerful suction force was sent out from the front, and Xintian's soul was caught off guard and was sucked out almost at once.

Xintian hurriedly collected his mind and re-fused his countless soul light points into a complete soul, leaving only that one soul light point still in the dead soul water film, and then began to carefully feel the changes in the outside world.

At this time, Xintian was shocked to find that the path was blocked by a gray sea ahead.

"Is this the long gray river? I've reached the shore?" Intuitively, Xintian thought that his judgment was right, and after wandering for so long, this long river should also arrive.

However, the river is also a little too big, and it is no different from the ocean.

Boundless, there was a low, powerful roar beneath the quiet river, like a sleeping gray ocean.

The whole world is divided in two, with a world of endless gray fog behind him and an endless gray ocean in front of him.

The same monotonous gray, a different gray world.

The world of the gray fog is vast and mysterious, while the world of the gray ocean is silent and powerful, and there is a kind of soul-sucking and terrifying magic that makes people involuntarily fearful.

Compared with the gray fog, the gray ocean's attraction to Xintian's soul is much stronger, and even through a layer of dead soul water film, Xintian still trembles like walking on thin ice, as if his soul will break through the membrane at any time.

"This should be the 'River of Souls' that Shinpei said. Xintian, who was desperately trying to gather his soul, thought to himself, "This level is really not easy!"

Except for the low and powerful rumbling sound, the "River of Souls" seemed extremely silent, and it was difficult to see even a ripple on the boundless river, and the silence made people's hearts palpitate.

However, Xintian felt an increasingly powerful attraction, and even Xia Qingqing's soul, which was hidden in his soul wrapping, became a little restless, as if he would break free at any time and throw himself into the "River of Souls".

At this time, retreating, wanting to stay away from the "River of Souls" is already a luxury, and Xintian can only condense all his thoughts and grit his teeth.

The gray world is divided into day and night, and I don't know how long it took, Xintian found that some more soul light clusters had arrived at the "River of Souls".

These soul light clusters were large and small, but they were all dark gray, and they were obviously real dead souls, not impostors like Xintian.

These gray dead souls were very different from Xintian, and they didn't seem to feel the pulling power of the "River of Souls" at all, just stayed quietly by the river, motionless.

At this time, Xintian was already in dire straits.

The suction of the "River of Souls" on Xintian's soul has almost reached the limit that Xintian can bear, and even the film of dead soul water that envelops Xintian's soul has been seriously deformed, and the next moment it is released, it will be like a soap bubble bursting.

Once the last line of defense of the Dead Soul Water Film is broken, Xintian's soul will be directly exposed in front of the gray river, and will be instantly sucked into the "Soul River" by the powerful suction, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, Xintian could no longer think of a way to deal with it, so he could only grit his teeth and persist with willpower beyond ordinary people, hoping that there would be a turnaround.

I don't know how long it has been, countless gray dead souls have gathered on the side of the "River of Souls", and Xintian's will has almost fallen into a blur, and it looks like it will be impossible to support it.

"Wow", "River of Souls" suddenly came with a deafening sound, and the river began to tumble violently.

As if the horn of the charge was sounded, countless gray dead souls waiting by the "River of Souls" actually rushed into the gray water of the "River of Souls".

Xintian also felt that the suction of the "River of Souls" on him had increased several times in vain, and he could no longer support it, and his entire soul was about to break out of the membrane even with Xia Qingqing's soul.

At the critical moment, the soul light spot that was trapped in the film of the dead soul water suddenly disappeared.

A kind of despair came to his heart, and Xintian couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, "The Dead Soul Domain is really a forbidden place for living souls, and it is really ten deaths and no life, but it's a pity that Qingqing ......"

“...... Hmm, no!" Xintian, who thought that he would be buried in the "River of Souls" in the next moment, found that he was still staying by the "River of Souls", and his soul was still in the film of dead souls.

Pleasantly surprised, Xintian quickly found out what happened.

"It turns out that the soul light spot has not disappeared, but has completely integrated into the Soul Water Film!" Xintian breathed a long sigh of relief, "The suction power of the 'Soul River' is almost unfelt, and even the Soul Water Film has become much tougher and more stable!"

However, the good times didn't last long, and Xintian, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt that the suction of the "River of Souls" instantly increased several times, sucking Xintian's soul towards the surface of the river along with the film of dead soul water.

"Fortunately, there is still this membrane, so I finally don't have to run naked. Before the thought could be flashed, Xintian plunged headlong into the violently tumbling water.
