Chapter 140: Ninety-Nine Stairs
As if going down the stairs, Zhou Ming landed on the glowing ground with one foot, and then step by step, his body moved, submerged into the ground, and disappeared.
The silver light was released from Zhou Ming's body, not very strong, but it spread out in this dark and deep passage like a black hole.
Even the light on the seal could not escape, and was dragged to the edge and turned into a huge attraction of the river of light, at this time, there was no reaction to the faint silver light emitted by Zhou Ming himself, allowing the silver light to spread in this dark passage.
Then, as if stepping on an invisible staircase, Zhou Ming moved down step by step.
The light on his body gradually spread from the faint at the beginning, and gradually covered the sky, shining in all directions, like a bright moon falling into the mouth of the well, and then passing through.
It was the first time for Zhou Ming to radiate his own brilliance with his own will.
The effect is remarkable, even in this deep passage, where its light goes, the darkness fades and is truly revealed.
Then you can see that the black gas that occasionally looks like smoke appears out of thin air, and then disappears in the light of light.
Those black qi were nothing else, they were fierce beasts, part of those fierce beasts that were smuggling.
After these black qi have passed through the passage for a long time, reached the flood wilderness, and then gathered a certain amount to be able to carry its manifestation, then this fierce beast has completely descended.
However, such a fierce beast is not a big threat, after all, it is too weak, and its strength and existence cannot even touch the seal. So during the time that Zhou Ming was guarding, he was just a clone, and he could completely dispose of it.
Although he was just walking step by step, Zhou Ming knew that under the power of this passage, every step he took crossed an unknown distance.
In fact, after Zhou Ming only took a few steps, his figure had completely disappeared into the dark passage.
If you stood in the place where Zhou Ming just set off and looked down, you couldn't even see the light emitted by a finger on Zhou Ming's body, as if he was swallowed up by the deep darkness.
After a slight confirmation, Zhou Ming found that he had been walking in this deep passage for a day. Even the river of light that flowed at the edge of the place was almost dry at this point, and only a few rays of light were left that stubbornly refused to disappear.
And under Zhou Ming's feet, during this day's walking, a step that seemed to be made of white jade slowly appeared in the place where there was originally nothing.
No more, no less, there are a total of ninety-nine layers, as Zhou Ming did not take a step forward, the front section would extend to a first order, and correspondingly, a first order would disappear.
This is not what Zhou Ming used to create, or what he hoped to appear in his heart. Rather, during the walk of this day, the breath appeared in sympathy, like a fish swimming in the water, disturbing the water.
This day's walking did not make Zhou Ming's expression change in any way, even if his attention was highly concentrated at all times, ready to deal with everything that happened, Zhou Ming still seemed to have just set off, just moving forward silently.
So in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
The rivers of light that flowed around them were still dried, leaving only a deep darkness. And in this darkness, Zhou Ming, who has been moving down, has also dispersed his own brilliance.
However, even if the brilliance has been dispersed, in this darkness, on the white jade steps, if there is a third party, even if it is a mortal, he will find that even in the boundless darkness, even if there is no trace of light source, Zhou Ming's figure is even a strand of hair, which is clearly visible.
Of course, not to mention whether mortals can appear here, even if they can, the Zhou Ming in his eyes may not be the true appearance of Zhou Ming's current transformation.
Then, a year passed.
The huge seal located above, at this time, in Zhou Ming's perception, the connection had been almost half weakened. On the contrary, another vast breath is clearer.
It feels very similar to the desolate world outside the Sealed Land, vast and majestic, but it's different!
Zhou Ming never thought that the flood and desolation he lived in were actually so orderly! Whether it was the flow of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the growth of all things, or the veins of the earth, or the surging of the ocean......
All of these, though constantly changing, always follow a certain unity.
This unity is nature!
But the other side is different! Even if he just felt the breath, Zhou Ming understood that the flood on the other side was a completely different place.
If you really want to compare it, it's like a mortal's dream.
Although in the dream, I feel very natural, and there is no problem at all. But when you wake up and recall it carefully, you will find that the development of many things is simply absurd, and there is no logic at all about the jump.
The place where I want to go is that kind of world.
A world that is not illusory, but real.
A chaotic world infested by the corpses of many chaotic creatures.
In some apprehension, five years passed.
This is already somewhat unexpected by Zhou Ming. Although it was understood from the outset that the actual distance of this passage could not be measured by numbers.
However, this passage is not a tunnel made by hollowing out the mountain, it is more like a kind of "wormhole", so in Zhou Ming's prediction, the journey of one or two years should be about the same.
And not like now, five years have passed, and it has not yet been reached.
Then, Zhou Ming, who had been moving forward silently, stopped for the first time in this deep darkness, and then looked back.
"At this point, the connection with the Sealed Land has been seriously weakened, and if it continues, it will affect the guidance of the Sealing Power. And if you can't guide the blessing of the power of the seal, it is still too dangerous to use the power of the eight-star level. ”
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ming turned around and took a step to the side, but he left the steps under his feet, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed the ninety-nine jade steps in his hand.
After walking for five consecutive years, Zhou Ming has stepped on this step over and over again, and by now, he has already made this step truly manifest.
"If you want to move on, you can channel the power of the seal here first, and then store it. Although the passage is too chaotic to even open up space, the steps that have evolved in the passage are undoubtedly the most suitable storage place. ”
Zhou Ming smiled slightly and walked towards the edge of the passage.
It didn't take long, just a few steps, Zhou Ming came to the edge, and then stretched out his hand, directly slapped the steps in his hand on the edge, and pressed it in.
At this time, although the connection with the seal was weak, it had not yet reached the point of affecting the power connection, so just by grasping it in his hand for a while, Zhou Ming had already extracted a large amount of sealing power and injected it into the steps.
It's not a good idea.
The power of the seal is used by the immortal kings to guard the passage, which is the same as the "public money" allocated by the state, not for personal spending.
As for Zhou Ming, as an agent, not long after he took the position, he was self-taught and unusually skilled in "embezzlement of public funds".
Not to mention that each used a layer of power to protect the underworld and the sea, and now, it is for their own actions to forcibly extract the power of the seal.
It's also that he hasn't been an official in his previous life, otherwise he is probably a corrupt official.
After everything was ready, Zhou Ming set off again, and finally, not long after the eighth year, Zhou Ming came out of the passage and entered a familiar and unfamiliar world.
