Chapter 62: Reincarnation Sea Passage
When the blue powder entered Gu Changqing’s mouth, there was no dryness at all.
Instead, it melted the moment it entered.
Gu Changqing felt a rich vitality surge up from within his body.
This force was immensely vast, like an abyss or an ocean, stirring majestic waves within his body.
His body began to revive and the backlash from the laws was completely healed in an instant.
“Bleaagh!”
Now able to move again, Gu Changqing immediately bent over on the ground, retching.
He shoved his fingers down his throat, trying desperately to vomit out the medicinal potency of the divine medicine.
But a divine medicine was a divine medicine. Once it entered the body, its properties were used up completely. No matter what he did—even if his throat bled—there was nothing he could do.
“Why did you do this…” He gazed at the little fox with unbearable bitterness.
The little fox gave a mournful smile. “Live on… not just for yourself, but live for me as well.”
She seemed utterly spent.
Her skin shriveled visibly, like the bark of a dried old tree, wrinkles all over her body.
This candle struggling in a fierce wind was, at this moment, completely extinguished.
Gu Changqing, like a madman, hugged the little fox’s body.
Endless laws of creation and fate were channeled by him into the little fox’s body.
But her death was like the grand momentum of the Heavenly Dao. No matter how Gu Changqing tried to stop it, it was futile.
“No—both of us must live.”
Gu Changqing muttered over and over like a madman.
Even he didn’t notice that above and behind him, two extraordinarily terrifying millstone apparitions had appeared in the sky.
One was supremely sacred, its light dazzling. The millstone turned slowly, spewing boundless vitality—like the origin of all life, the beginning of myriad paths!
The other was wildly violent, the laws in revolt. Thick black killing qi churned, obliterating the heavens and earth, as if capable of devouring all things and annihilating everything!
…
Outside the mirror.
The group of cultivators were stunned.
They clearly felt two completely opposing power of the laws emanating from those two millstones!
“Life and death?”
The cultivators were somewhat surprised.
No one had expected that Gu Changqing would break through at this moment, even comprehending the life-and-death laws.
But.
Even so, even if Gu Changqing forcibly tried to reverse the little fox’s life using both the paths of life and death, it was all in vain.
The cultivators’ expressions darkened, and they couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity.
“This little fox’s fate is so pitiful…”
“Who would have thought the little fox’s bloodline curse was so powerful…Even if the Heavenly Emperor’s strength advanced further, he still couldn’t break that bloodline curse.”
“Sigh, in the end they still didn’t find the Reincarnation Sea.”
The cultivators’ faces were gloomy. Even though they had earlier predicted that the little fox would die because they wouldn’t find the Reincarnation Sea to lift the curse.
At this moment, they still couldn’t help feeling sorrow.
This little fox gave people an impression of utter innocence.
From initially feeding blood and stealing pills, to entering the Forbidden Zone and sheltering Gu Changqing from harm.
When Gu Changqing was in danger, the little fox exhausted her own foundation, forcibly transforming into a nine-tailed fox to save Gu Changqing.
The only divine medicine that could have extended her life was even given by her to Gu Changqing.
As they watched a demon fox fall like this, everyone felt grief swelling in their hearts.
…
“Reincarnation Sea, Reincarnation Sea!”
Gu Changqing still did not give up and he awoke from his grief.
He knew this was not the time to mourn—the little fox was not yet completely dead. As long as he found the legendary Reincarnation Sea, the little fox might break the bloodline curse and come back to life.
He suppressed his emotions and strained his mind to seek clues to the Reincarnation Sea.
They had been in the Forbidden Zone for quite some time. The monsters within had grown increasingly powerful, which meant they had reached the depths of the Forbidden Zone.
The Reincarnation Sea should be deep in the Forbidden Zone—so why had it been so hard to find even after all this time?
The reason it was called a sea was because it must be something vast. Otherwise, why not call it a Reincarnation River? But such a magnificent sea—how could it leave no trace deep within this Forbidden Zone?
Gu Changqing’s thoughts were in a tangle. After being in the Forbidden Zone so long, there was almost no clue of the Reincarnation Sea in his mind.
But the next moment, he suddenly realized something!
“The Reincarnation Sea’s vitality is dim and filled with longevity substance. But the little flower I swallowed, as well as the plants in this valley, all possess this divine nature.”
“That being so, the Reincarnation Sea must be nearby!”
His gaze abruptly turned toward the spot where the blue flower had originally been!
At that moment he seemed to understand. Holding the little fox’s body, he plunged headfirst into that great pool.
…
Outside the mirror.
The cultivators’ eyes suddenly brightened.
Although they knew the little fox would die, at this moment everyone couldn’t help but harbor hope.
They wanted to see whether Gu Changqing could find that Reincarnation Sea.
Relying on the Heavenly Dao laws, Gu Changqing soon dove to the bottom of the water.
As he expected.
In the depths of the water, there was an extremely deep abyss—like a passage of sorts.
And it was located directly across where the little flower had been.
Around the abyss one could still see traces of where that giant crocodile had lived.
At that moment many questions were answered in Gu Changqing’s mind.
He understood why the plants in this valley contained longevity divinity, and why there was such a blue divine medicinal flower.
He also understood why the crocodile, clearly an amphibious creature, would emerge from the depths of the water.
All of it was due to this passage.
It was highly likely that the other end of the passage was the Reincarnation Sea.
However, even the crocodile ancestor only dared to lie at the cave mouth and wouldn’t enter the passage, and there was only one reason for that: on the other side of the passage lurked an even more terrifying existence.
But Gu Changqing couldn’t worry about that now.
His form became a sharp sword as he plunged straight into the abyss.
