I don't know why, Jiang Chen felt a chill from the depths of his soul at this moment.

In the dark, there seemed to be an unspeakable existence that seemed to have insight into the thoughts in Jiang Chen's heart.

So follow this trace of his thoughts across endless time and space to find him and completely strangle him!

"Not good!"

At the same time, Jiang Chen's complexion changed drastically, and the world in his eyes immediately turned into an endless void in an instant.

All the light around was completely swallowed up, and there was no light.

It's like a never-ending night, with no twinkling stars, no moon shadow.

I couldn't see my fingers, and I was in an endless darkness.

Even if Jiang Chen comprehended the way of darkness, he couldn't help but feel palpitations and despair, as if he was about to be assimilated!

Then the darkness surged, and red threads continued to spread from the void, like tentacles, and thousands of threads were all wrapped around him!

Every red thread contains great terror and is filled with despair!

"Break it for me!"

Jiang Chen didn't have time to be shocked, his body instinctively cut off the thoughts in his mind.

The power of the soul poured out and covered the whole body, and the power of pure yang, darkness, thunder, and the power of the Killing Dao intertwined and enveloped itself!

At this moment, he burst out with all his might, burning the power of the Great Dao at all costs, in exchange for more powerful power, just to cut off the cause and effect on his body and obscure the exploration of the existence in the underworld.

In this endless void, time flies for a long time.

Jiang Chen felt that his body was beginning to burn, and his soul was hit hard, and he was about to be ruthlessly erased at any time.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he cut off all his cause and effect, and then he flickered in front of his eyes and returned to the stone room again.

"Whew."

At the moment when his consciousness returned, Jiang Chen immediately felt extreme pain coming from his body.

He felt that every cell in his body was affected by the mysterious power, and thus became inactive and lifeless.

But this is not the most critical, his primordial spirit has dimmed a lot at the moment, and the light is no longer there.

The three stars on the heavenly dome of the Sea Knowing World also became like dead stars, and there was no trace of light.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's injury is Jiang Chen's most serious so far.

"Almost dead!"

Jiang Chen spurted out a mouthful of black blood, his face was gloomy and terrifying, there was no trace of blood on his face, and the clothes on his body were all wet with sweat.

Both body and soul have suffered unimaginable trauma!

What's even more terrifying is that the terrifying force in the underworld is constantly corroding his physical primordial god.

If it weren't for the many transformations of his body and soul, I'm afraid he would have been wiped out long ago!

Jiang Chen did not hesitate and immediately took out the remaining magic crystal essence.

At this moment, I can't care about anything, I can't restore the vitality of my body, I am afraid that Jiang Chen will be in a catastrophe.

Jiang Chen began to absorb the rich aura, and the nine-colored glow instantly enveloped it, and the entire stone room was instantly shrouded in a glow.

A steady stream of spiritual power flowed into Jiang Chen's body, and his physical body glowed slightly, pulling the spiritual power to slowly repair his physical body.

Through this experience, Jiang Chen's will became more and more condensed, he was climbing towards a higher realm, and faintly saw a vague shadow, but it was still too far away.

However, he has been in the realm of supernatural powers for too long, and if he wants to impact the realm of his true self, he is not enough to have a foundation.

Jiang Chen hid the thoughts in his mind extremely deeply, and he was afraid of attracting the terrifying existence in the underworld again.

In front of that kind of existence, Jiang Chen was so weak that he seemed to float, and he had no power to resist at all.

Sometimes, understanding too much is also a pain!

There is no hope for people to move forward, and even if they soar, they will fall into greater despair!

Jiang Chen was sure that for countless years, there must have been people who doubted the origin of Ascension City, and even had terrible guesses.

I don't know if these people are still alive, or if they have long been erased by the existence of the underworld!

No matter what kind of Jiang Chen's path is, it's not what Jiang Chen wants!

"Damn, how can you become stronger, stronger than everyone else!" Jiang Chen's eyes were indifferent.

He is still very weak now, and he needs to make himself stronger to be worthy of truly controlling his own destiny.

At this moment, there was a kind of attachment in his heart, even a kind of madness, and he suddenly understood his own way and knew what he wanted.

"Wait for me, one day, I will trace the source."

Jiang Chen looked up, his eyes were full of coldness, and in the face of such an unspeakable existence, there was no despair in his heart.

Soon three days passed quietly.

In the stone room, the glow gushed out, Jiang Chen's body began to show a faint red glow, and the blood and qi dragons continued to swim in his body.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes, and a trace of solemnity and worry flashed in his eyes.

"After consuming all the magic crystal essence, my physical body has finally improved a little." Jiang Chen exhaled deeply.

With his special body, as long as there is a trace of activity, he can constantly repair the injuries in his body.

As long as he is given a few days, he can return to his peak state even if he does nothing, this is the horror of the royal path of the flesh.

"The physical body has been restored, but the supernatural seed and soul have not yet recovered."

The three supernatural powers formed on the top of the Heavenly Dome of the Sea of Knowledge, as if they had become a death star, without a trace of light.

This was Jiang Chen's biggest concern so far, without the Divine Power Seed, he would not be able to activate the power of the Three Great Daos, which meant that his combat power would be greatly reduced.

Jiang Chen suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, now that his injuries have recovered a lot, it is time to think about the next thing.

Now there is no magic crystal essence, only a large number of spirit crystals, and in order to stay here, he has to go out to earn spirit stones.

Bang bang bang!

Just as Jiang Chen was still thinking, a huge roar came from outside the stone gate.

Jiang Chen had doubts in his eyes, but he still got up slowly and came to the front of the stone gate, and he slowly opened the stone gate.

After the stone door opened, Jiang Chen's eyes were greeted by two fierce middle-aged men.

These two people had long knives pinned to their waists, and they were muscular, and after seeing the opening of the stone gate at this moment, they immediately pushed open the stone door and squeezed Jiang Chen in.

"I didn't expect it to be a good seedling with a bone age of no more than 100 years old." One of the men glanced at Jiang Chen unscrupulously and sneered.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and then a man with a ruddy face and a beard walked in behind the other two.

"Yo, so you're there? What are the doors closed these days? He glanced at Jiang Chen, and when he saw Jiang Chen's cultivation, his expression immediately relaxed.

"Who is Your Excellency, and is there anything wrong?" Jiang Chen's tone was flat, and he couldn't listen to any emotion.

These three people have cultivated well, especially the bearded man, who has reached the realm of true self.

"I am Jin Luomen Shiyan, I have something to tell you, the area where you are located belongs to the jurisdiction of Jin Ye, and according to the custom, you need to pay a hundred spirit stones per month."

"I'll wait to collect the spirit stone, don't worry, my stone is very talkative, if there is no spirit stone on the body, it can also be replaced by other treasures."

After hearing Jin Luomen, Jiang Chen's expression froze slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

In the jade slip given to him by the fat young man, there are also many intricate forces.

He knew that the Jin Ye in the man's mouth was the master of the Golden Roman, the powerhouse of the reincarnation realm.

Ascension City can actually be seen as a vast continent, if you look down from the highest point.

The palace where the City Lord's Mansion is located is located in the most central area of the entire Ascension City, occupying most of the territory of the Ascension City.

The rest of the area is mainly divided into eight areas, and countless monks live under each area.

The eight major areas are Tianqian, Dikun, Fengxun, Leizhen, Shuikan, Huoli, Shangen, and Zedui.

And the area where Jiang Chen is located is on a palace in the southern area of the mountain.

There are countless intricate forces within the Shangen, and the Zhao family among the four major families is also among them.

And the Golden Romant is one of the forces, and there is a reincarnation realm powerhouse in the gate, countless True Self Realm monks.

This place is the area of the Golden Roman, and according to their rules, every new monk must pay spirit stones to them in order to be eligible to live, trade, and so on.

If you don't pay it and break the rules, you will also suffer revenge from Jinluomen.

Shi Yan didn't urge Jiang Chen, he was sure that as long as Jiang Chen was a smart person, he would definitely hand over the spirit stone.

Jiang Chen fell into deep thought, weighing it in his heart, he quickly made a decision, and said, "I don't have a spirit stone in my hand now. ”

The bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, don't make it difficult for me to wait, I am also ordered to do things." ”

"You are new here, listen to my advice, hand over the spirit stone, you can save a lot of trouble, I advise you to be decisive."

He looked at Jiang Chen, as if he saw himself many years ago.

The screw-bearded man was a little emotional, once upon a time, he was also so high-spirited when he first came here.

It's just that countless years have smoothed his edges and corners, making him have to bow to reality.

"The seniors misunderstood, it's not that I don't pay it down, it's just that I'm new to the school, and I don't have a spirit stone on my body." Jiang Chen hugged his fists and saluted.

Then he said a little embarrassedly: "Please be tolerant for a few days, and I will definitely serve it later." ”

"That's not good, rules are rules." The bearded man shook his head, he slowly approached Jiang Chen, and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder twice with a smile.

"It's okay to replace it with other treasures, you are the son of a world's pride, and it is impossible for you to have no treasures on you." The bearded man said earnestly.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and had no choice but to nod.

He also knew that he was just an insignificant Divine Realm monk in front of Jin Luomen, and now he had no choice at all, only obedience.

Jiang Chen knows very well that he must remain in awe of the existence that can control his own life, no matter whether the other party is good or bad, good or evil.

"Senior, look at how much this is worth a spirit stone." Jiang Chen took out a hungry ghost bag, and the bearded man took it with interest.

Shen Nian swept over, shook his head and said, "It's not enough, these things are worth up to ten lower grade spirit stones." ”

Jiang Chen's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that he had taken out a billion spirit crystals at once, which was only worth ten lower-grade spirit stones.

The weight of a low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 100 million spirit crystals!

"This thing does contain a trace of spiritual power, but the purity is too low, and purification also requires a price, ten low-grade spirit stones are already a lot." The bearded man shook his head.

Jiang Chen nodded and took out nine billion spirit crystals again.

Since he chose to compromise, Jiang Chen didn't take face seriously, he then hugged his fists and said solemnly: "I don't know if there is still a shortage of people in the predecessor sect?" To tell you the truth, Jiang is a newcomer and wants to find a job here to make a living. ”

"Young man, it's useless for you to tell me, I don't lack people in Jinluomen, do you know how to refine pills and medicines?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Then there's no way I can help you." The bearded man shook his head, as if Jiang Chen's cheerful attitude satisfied him.

He reminded him in a good voice: "You can go to the trading market and go around, maybe you will get something." ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Jiang Chen hugged his fists again.

After sending the three of them away, Jiang Chen returned to the stone room, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"It's no wonder that for countless years, only a handful of people have been able to soar away." Jiang Chen's eyes flashed coldly.

In order for ordinary monks to survive in Ascension City, they must first ensure that they pay spirit stones to the City Lord's Mansion every month, and they also need to pay spirit stones to the forces where they are located.

Every month, you need to give the City Lord's Mansion of the White Dao Forces, and the Underworld Golden Romana Spirit Stone.

In this way, he didn't have time to improve his cultivation at all, let alone accumulate spirit stones.

"When will we be able to come out like this, and when will we break through to a higher ......realm," Jiang Chen sighed.

No matter what world they are in, the people at the bottom can only survive under the rules set by the rulers.

Through a series of rules, Jiang Chen can see clearly that Ascension City can stand for countless years, relying on the layers of exploitation and control of outsiders.

Every outsider needs to constantly earn spirit stones in exchange for the right to live in Ascension City, and it is difficult for them to have leisure time to meditate and cultivate.

Moreover, the spirit stones earned will also return to the hands of Ascension City in another name, and in the long run, the strength of Ascension City will only become stronger and stronger, and no one can shake its dominance.

"If you want to live and become stronger, you have to be careful and cautious, and I have a huge advantage over other people at the bottom, and that is the attribute panel." A bright golden light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

"Let's go to the trading market first." Jiang Chen adjusted his mentality.

Although the road ahead was full of despair, he still did not give up and always believed in himself, which is an extremely strong manifestation of the Dao heart.

After sorting everything out, Jiang Chen opened the stone door again.

Coincidentally, Lu Qing'er's stone door on the opposite side also slowly opened at this moment, and the two looked at each other at the same time and moved away in tacit understanding.

Jiang Chen nodded towards Lu Qing'er, did not speak, and took the lead out of the stone gate.

Lu Qing'er frowned slightly, "The aura on this person's body is obviously much weaker than three days ago, could it be that he has a conflict with the people of the Golden Sect." ”

"It's a little bloody, but it's too reckless......" Lu Qing'er guessed, and then withdrew her gaze.

On the other side, Jiang Chen naturally didn't know what Lu Qing'er was thinking.

He walked along the old streets, and soon walked out of the gate of the palace where he lived.

Jiang Chen looked ahead, there were towering walls everywhere, and almost all the buildings were made of huge stones, connected to the clouds.

Jiang Chen's eyes were full of golden light, and when he looked around carefully, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's worthy of the world created by the strongest!" ”

The walls and boulders here contain mysterious textures that can resist the invasion of time.

Jiang Chen retracted his gaze, there were many monks on the road, most of them were in a hurry, and the Flying Ascension City was forbidden to the sky, and the monks could only choose to walk or spend spirit stones to sit on the spirit beast car.

Or if you need to travel to other distant areas, you can also use the teleportation array to get there, but you need to pay a lot of spirit stones.

In short, everything in Ascension City needs spirit stones, and it is difficult to move an inch without spirit stones.

Along the ancient street, Jiang Chen walked all the way in the direction of the flow of people.

Half a day later, he came to an extremely large trading market.
