Volume 18, Chapter 10 [Crossing the River Styx]

"You...... What poison did you use?" Sharon felt her spirit and body begin to separate, the pain of being forcibly stripped of her was devastating, and she didn't know how she had been poisoned.

Ward held the complete map he had just gotten from Sharon in one hand, and sneered at Sharon at the same time, "Wasn't that kiss just now very ecstatic?"

"Despicable...... Dirty! Why...... Why do you betray me? Could it be that everything you are doing right now is to steal this map and get the Demon Emperor's legacy?" Sharon couldn't accept this fact, at this time her primordial spirit and physical body had been separated, and moreover, the primordial spirit had also been poisoned, and at this time she became very weak and unable to escape.

Ward took out an object, a bell and a ding artifact.

Facing Xue Lun's Yuan Shen, the spiritual power was injected into the magic weapon, and suddenly there was a wave of attraction, sucking in the Yuan Shen that Xue Lun was constantly questioning.

"Sharon, you are really as the two elders said, you are not suitable to inherit the position of the sect master, you are too emotional, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect must not fall into your hands, it should be carried forward in my hands, unify the Xiwu Continent, and achieve the supreme cause again, I will become the new Demon Emperor, but unfortunately you know too many things about me, you can't leave it, but don't worry, I will let you die a happy death." Ward's words caused Sharon to lose the courage to ask, and her spirit weakened, and she soon fell into a deep sleep of herself.

At this time, in her heart, a voice from her biological father, who was also the sect master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, sounded: "Sharon, you are destined to have this catastrophe, although your father is trying to help you escape this catastrophe, but it has been counted thousands of times, the more you escape, the more irreparable, you must rely on yourself and the person who will appear in your fate to help you escape this catastrophe, that person is involved in your fate in your previous life, remember to remember."

Although Xue Lun Yuanshen was in a deep sleep at the moment, he was still awakened by this sentence, and then remembered a person, and immediately cast a secret method and sent a voice for help.

On the other side, Wang Rui was blocked outside a formation gate, and it might take a while to break through.

Virgin and Ronald were chased and killed by him, but one of them escaped, while the other died at his hands, and the primordial spirit fell into the palm of his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, spare me, both of us are Ward's accomplices." Virgien in his Genshin form kept begging for mercy.

Wang Rui was stunned, but he didn't expect that Ward, who seemed to be the weakest, was actually the mastermind.

"Not good!" Wang Rui immediately reacted, in this way, Sharon was naturally in danger, he didn't want to talk to Virgen anymore at this time, and directly took out the Prison Soul Tower, not long ago, the Prison Soul Tower was officially promoted to the next realm, and it could already absorb the primordial spirit of the Divine Cultivator.

The shape of the Prison Soul Tower has changed greatly, turning into a purple spire surrounded by white mist, not evil, but with a peaceful atmosphere, all the inhaled grievances or Yuan Soul will be purified, and become the energy required by the Prison Soul Tower, replenished to the soul general, and now the Prison Soul Tower can already summon a ghost general at the Huashen level.

Wang Rui no longer paid attention to the remaining Ronald, and immediately rushed back, halfway through, a yellow light similar to a transmission note fell in front of Wang Rui, was pinched by him, and then turned into Sharon's voice.

After listening to Sharon's explanation and instructions about the underground palace royal city, Wang Rui changed his plan and quickly passed through one pass after another, and finally came to a river full of black torrents.

"Is this the Styx underground?" Wang Rui looked at the river in front of him, and there was a trace of hesitation in his expression.

In Sharon's call for help, Wang Rui must jump into the underground River Styx, and at the same time go upstream to reach the place where the Demon Emperor fell, but the River Styx is full of dangers, and if he is not careful, his own soul will also be swallowed up, if it reaches that step, it is equivalent to the reincarnation of the soldier and entering reincarnation.

Wang Rui could have not saved him, but he couldn't do it without saving him, on the one hand, without Sharon, he would not be able to repair the teleportation array, and it would be difficult to go back, maybe decades or a hundred years or even longer.

On the other hand, as one of Chen Qi's reincarnations, Sharon has the same face and appearance as Chen Qi, Wang Rui always feels that he owes her too much, so he always wants to do something for her, but unfortunately Chen Qi has disappeared, as for whether the reincarnation of the North Underworld is real, Wang Rui already feels that it doesn't matter, so she wants to repay Chen Qi's love for her by saving Sharon.

Eventually, he made up his mind, removed his spiritual shield, stepped on one foot in the air, and then the whole person fell, and fell into the black torrent representing the River Styx with a pop.

In Sharon's description, the River Styx represents purification, so to enter it, in addition to having a strong will, it is also necessary to maintain inner peace, preferably in a state of emptiness, otherwise it will be easily swallowed.

Sure enough, when Wang Rui fell into the River Styx, that unimaginable terrifying torrent crashed into him like a giant beast, and at the same time, countless unjust souls and souls around him rushed towards him, wrapping around him, trying to drag him into the path of reincarnation.

"Get out of here!" Wang Rui's will is as firm as a mountain at this time, and his heart is like iron, and after being washed away for a distance, he forcibly stopped his body, and is going against the current at this moment.

He discovered that here, although he could not use spiritual power, as long as his willpower was strong and firm enough, he could make his physical body have an effect similar to spiritual power and be able to swim against the current.

This is a trial of the mind, and if the will is not strong enough, it will be carried away by the River Styx.

"Give up, you won't make it."

"Mortal, you're already half dead, don't struggle for nothing."

"Why bother, you may be able to live happily ever after."

"You can even reunite with your fellow Daoists, and you don't have to suffer from lovesickness anymore."

"If you go against the sky, you will never succeed."

All kinds of negative voices came from the mouths of these resentful spirits that were wrapped around him, and Wang Rui tried to maintain the direction he insisted on, gritting his teeth and swimming in the River Styx, swimming against the current.

Wang Rui finally realized why Sharon told him to keep an empty state, once there was any negative emotion in it, it would be infinitely magnified, thus occupying his heart and making his will collapse.

However, he is no longer an ordinary monk, he has already become one of the very few top immortal Dao powers in this world, he has experienced countless ups and downs, and has also survived the test of life and death, so although the test of the Styx in front of him is not small, it can no longer form too much of a threat to Wang Rui, his Dao heart is to change the fate of this world being destroyed by those realm lord traitors, how can the Styx be able to help him?

Seeing that ordinary words could not dispel Wang Rui's thoughts, these resentful spirits suddenly became bad.

They began to probe Wang Rui's memory, constantly reading the parts of his memory that made Wang Rui feel painful.

In Wang Rui's current life of about 200 years, it can be clearly divided into millions of years ago and millions of years later.

Millions of years later, in the era of Yuantianzong, Wang Rui was just a humble registered disciple, who worked hard in the medicine garden all day long, and was usually treated a lot unfairly, bullied, and his life was bleak.

Gradually, Wang Rui found that the environment of the Styx River around him had changed, and at some point, it seemed that he had traveled to the Source Heaven Sect millions of years later, and he was being trampled under his feet and accepted humiliation.

At that time, he was only fifteen years old, not long after he entered the sect, he was the lowest level of existence, and he had not yet gone to the medicine garden.

Like many other registered disciples and disciples, in addition to heavy labor, he also had to work for the outer brothers, dedicating everything he had, and if he did not obey, he would be severely beaten.

"Wang Rui, you lowly mortal, just because you also want to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect? Phew! Pee and take care of yourself, hahaha......" A mouthful of thick phlegm spat on his hair, and the people around him were full of mocking laughter.

He was about to get angry, but suddenly realized that once he used his spiritual power, he would be attacked by the River Styx, so he was hit.

"It's dangerous!" He couldn't help but look around, he hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, he had thought that those memories were gone, but they were just sealed in the depths of his heart.

Since he couldn't be angry, Wang Rui simply broke free from the shackles of those people, and then his eyes swept over the surrounding peers with cold eyes, although he knew that they were made of resentful spirits, but it also made his heart fluctuate, but fortunately he was able to restrain himself and continue to move forward silently.

The scene changed again, he saw the scene before Chen Qi died, when he was still trapped in the secret realm, his former mentor Cao Wuhen personally killed Chen Fuzhi, Chen Qi and others, Chen Qi just read Wang Rui's name hard before he died, so that he was heartbroken, although he knew that it was an illusion in front of him, he almost collapsed, and every test was heart-wrenching.

Finally, Wang Rui went through an arduous trek, and walked step by step from the lower reaches of the River Styx to the upper reaches of the river, and had to go ashore, during which countless resentful spirits haunted him, hit her, warned him, threatened him, and even turned into various people in his memories to affect him, but Wang Rui was unmoved, beyond the limit of what mortals could bear.

"Whew......" Wang Rui gasped, put his hands on his knees, exhausted to the extreme.

Although he was not fighting just now, he was a thousand times more tired than fighting, and he was suffering and various tests in his heart all the time, and several times, he wanted to give up, but in the end he persevered, which also sublimated his whole person and made his will indestructible.

At the end of the valley is a valley of the Black Forest, with a stream of water, and a large number of unknown birds inhabited by the forest, whose eyes are like lights, and the Black Forest is eerie.

Wang Rui followed Sharon's instructions, and at the same time speculated according to the map he memorized, he chose a small path to enter, and if he chose other roads, he would be subjected to unexpected battles.

Sharon would deliberately lead Ward to choose other paths, thus depleting his strength, while Wang Rui could reach his destination almost unimpeded.
