Chapter 129: To the Edge of the World
Seven days passed in a flash. In the ghost world, a world without stars and day and night, the people of the land of common life relied on various utensils to record the time left by their ancestors, and they divided the year into three hundred days, each hundred days was a quarter, and each quarter was a round of crop harvest. However, for all the masters from the Supreme Immortal Realm, this year is equivalent to a day in the Supreme Immortal Realm, and they don't care too much about the passage of a day in the Ghost Realm, because it is too short.
In the seven days, in the not vast country of life, in the border yang region ruled by the Three Shades Kingdom, a seedling of faith was growing rapidly under the irrigation of a girl. However, the source of that belief, the Lord of the Demon Realm himself, is at this moment on the edge of the Ghost Realm tens of millions of miles away in the Land of Ordinary Life.
After leaving the creek, He Yi went back to Yangshan, and after discussing with his predecessors such as Scarlet Ji and Zhaoyang, he decided to wait for the creek to spread his faith and He Yi's idea of protecting nature in the world, and then show the "great power" that He Yi said. Therefore, for the time being, everyone was idle.
A few of the bored seniors went to the land of the common people, intending to secretly help Xiaoxishui as the Great Demon King, including a real person. And He Yi, because he was the master of the demon world, was a little embarrassed, so he made an excuse and slipped away.
In his heart, he has always had a high curiosity about one thing, and that is the edge of the world.
The science he learned from Earth taught him that the planet has no boundaries because it is a sphere that will eventually return to square one no matter which direction it goes. The Supreme Immortal Realm is the same as the earth, it is also a planet, but its volume is larger than that of a star, and an earth thrown on the immeasurable earth can only be regarded as a huge spherical mountain, and it can't even break through the atmosphere of the Supreme Immortal Realm.
As the head of the four great immortal realms, the Supreme Immortal Realm is terrifyingly large in terms of both its overall strength and land range.
The earth, the Supreme Immortal Realm, and the wandering Star Covenant and the endless starry sky are all just a part of the universe, they are all sphere-like worlds, and there is no boundary. But the ghost world is different, the ghost world is like the mountain and sea world, vast and vast, but it is not a planet, therefore, it is boundary.
He Yi has always wanted to know what the true appearance of the big world looks like, and he is eager to see what the mountains and seas look like from the distant starry sky. Now in the ghost realm, he, like Scarlet Ji and other predecessors, has no way to use brute force to break through the dead and silent realm barrier and leave here, but he has the opportunity to go to the edge of the realm and see with his own eyes the place he has always wanted to see.
With the speed of the fifth level of the seven-step ascending immortal technique, seven days was completely enough for him to travel hundreds of millions of miles. But He Yi didn't recognize one direction and kept rushing away, he was not in a hurry, he kept changing directions along the way, wandering around the barren land of the ghost world, and saw a lot of things.
Desolation is the main theme of the ghost world, but it is not the whole story. In addition to the Mountains of the Two Realms and the Land of Beings, there are some other things in the Ghost Realm, such as huge piles of colored dust.
The dust has no smell at all, and it looks the same as sand, but judging from the color and distribution, it is not difficult to see the shadow of the mineral. He Yi once moved directly to a pile of pale cyan powder, and found a gravel smaller than a flower seed through his mind, proving that it was once a huge bluestone.
There should be a reason for the silence of the ghost realm, when the realm is dead and dead, almost everything below this sky, except for the soil, has fallen into a state of silence, all the living beings have died, and even most of the matter has dissolved.
After seeing two piles of dust, He Yi gradually had some guesses about this world. He felt that the silence of the ghost world was not the final result, because the mountains of the two realms were still active, and the country of the common people was successfully born and existed to this day. As his predecessors thought, he also saw that there was hope for recovery in the ghost world. I just don't know how long this recovery will last before the realm barriers can be opened and they will have a chance to leave.
Before leaving Yangshan, He Yi forgot to ask Scarlet Ji if the flower of life was extracted from the country of life or from elsewhere, if it was elsewhere, maybe this hope would not be too slim.
He may only have more than 9,000 years of lifespan left, which sounds like a long lifespan, but in fact, it is only more than a thousand years compared to the country of the common people, which is really nothing for the entire ghost world. If the realm can't be opened within 9,800 years, he will die of old age here, not to mention finding Yun Xuan's reincarnation, even taking a breath of pure heaven and earth aura will become a luxury.
The white-haired old woman named Pingshuang, who lived near Yangshan, was the only visitor from the Supreme Immortal Realm who had not passed the Great Tribulation except He Yi. Her lifespan is less than the last hundred years, which makes her old face always look desperate and unwilling, very ugly.
Few immortal cultivators will die of old age, because they either die in battle or die in the difficulty of breaking through the realm, and few people are really tortured by the two factors of longevity and bottleneck to the end of the Dao disappearing. He Yi could imagine the suffering of Pingshuang's predecessors, but he didn't want to taste it himself, so he was full of desire to explore the ghost world, and he couldn't wait to put the whole world in front of his eyes and study it carefully to see if there was a way to escape.
The edge of the realm is obviously one of the possibilities, but this possibility is very small and very small, otherwise, with the power of the sixth-order life and death realm of the predecessor of Scarlet Ji, I am afraid that she would have left long ago. He Yi stopped and watched the various non-barren scenes of the ghost world along the way, adding a little more to his understanding of this place, and also began to have some ideas to help the ghost world recover.
But for now, let's take a look at what the edge of the ghost world looks like. As the number of shifts increased, he got closer and closer to the edge, and the moment he crossed the void as he moved, he seemed to vaguely feel a strange existence.
From one step to five steps, the Dao technique is the process from feeling the void to crossing the void for a short distance, He Yi has comprehended this Dao technique for more than a hundred years with the guidance of Tianyance, and his understanding of the way of the void has become more and more profound. Although the sixth step was still far away, when he crossed the five steps, he could already clearly sense the special environment in the endless void world, where everything did not exist, only the void.
Walking forward step by step, there was no east, west, north and south, just with the faint sense in his heart, he quickly approached the edge of the ghost world.
The horizon as seen by the eye is always barren, but when you look at it with your heart, the world of the void is very different. Darkness is the only thing in the void, but in the darkness, there is a magical power that is not far away, like a wall, thick and calm, difficult to shake, bringing some dark shadows to the soul.
If it was really just a wall, He Yi had the confidence to cross it in one step, but he knew that the wall of the realm barrier, I was afraid that he really couldn't resist it.
Near, closer and closer. The heavy feeling was in front of him, and he gradually developed the illusion that he did not dare to take a step, as if he was afraid that his head would break if he hit his head. But at this time, he was actually hundreds of thousands of miles away.
The wall is infinitely high, infinitely large, and the closer it gets, the easier it is to feel small, like a small insect standing under a high wall, which could be crushed by the wall at any moment.
The induction from the void let He Yi know that he could still move on. So he suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart, and continued to use the Taoist technique he learned from Liu Shangxuan, step by step to approach the edge of the world.
The scenery in front of me is constantly changing, and the invisible giant wall of mental perception is also expanding.
The distance was 300,000 miles, and when He Yi crossed the void, he could already "see" the shape of the wall. It is formless, like the Void Avenue, which cannot be captured, but it really exists, like a giant arc net, enveloping all directions.
He Yi had a sense of fear under the huge net of both virtual and real, which was a kind of awe for the laws of the universe, which could only be felt by those who had touched one of the thousands of cosmic avenues. If you haven't touched it, no matter how high your cultivation is, you won't be able to notice it.
This point is probably that those who don't know are not afraid, and ants don't understand the meaning of the sky.
He Yi was fortunate enough to encounter the Dao Technique, so when he approached the edge of the realm for 100,000 miles, his legs were already a little weak.
The increasingly huge walls of his mind made him feel like a lonely boat heading straight for the whirlpool, which could be swept into it at any moment and swallowed up without a trace.
Gritting his teeth and moving twice, the distance was as close as 80,000 li, and he no longer dared to use Dao techniques. Even if his understanding of the Void Dao was still only at the scratching stage, he already knew that if he was really not afraid of death, the result would definitely be death!
The consequences of crashing into this realm barrier are definitely more terrible than plunging headlong into the mouth of the fierce beast Qiqi!
The Void Avenue is an interpretation of space. As the old saying goes, the upper and lower four directions are called the universe, the ancient, modern and future are called the universe, and the universe is the combination of time and space. Although this statement is not comprehensive, the importance and power of the Void Avenue can be seen from this. If you dare to use the mortal body to provoke the void, one of the supreme laws of the universe, the result is self-evident.
It would definitely not work to use the Dao technique to cross the Ghost Realm barrier! No need to try, He Yi had completely given up this idea, because the little Void Dao he felt was reminding himself that if he moved and crashed into the Realm Barrier, he would die without even scum!
There are still 80,000 miles, and it is only a moment to move over, but when you look at it, you can't see anything.
The surface of the ghost realm must also be curved, because He Yi's vision is the same as in the earth, the mountain and sea realm, and the supreme immortal realm, there is a horizon, and it will constantly change with his own movement. The only difference is only the size of the field of vision, on the earth, standing on the surface of the earth can only see a few dozen miles at the height of a person, but in the ghost world, it is nearly ten thousand miles.
Not daring to move further did not mean that he had given up his intention to take a look at the edge of the realm. He knew very well that the edge of the realm was only rejecting the Void Dao Method, but it would not exclude an ordinary body, otherwise, when the original ghost realm was still thriving, wouldn't all the lives that accidentally pass through the border have to die miserably?
Everything still needs to be considered, the true appearance of the edge of the realm is only 80,000 miles away!
[There is one more shift in the evening, and the time is pushed to half past ten]
