Under the karst cave, the Endless Water flowed out from the stone cracks. It converged into a river, flowing to the unknown depths.
Rustle—
After the extremely tiny sound, the round contour which was a human high gradually emerged on the stone wall. And then a large amount of stone powder fell into the river from the wall and was carried away by the river. Finally, a cold and lonely phantom of Ghost Region appeared.
The phantom was Su Li.
“Here is an altogether different world in the mountain.”
Among the dark, Su Li could still see clearly. She closed her eyes and listened carefully. And then she raced down the river.
After a moment, some cold ghost fire floated gradually from the bleak river, and then scattered around Su Li.
“Fresh ghost fire.”
Black Lotus sniffed and transmitted the sound, “It seems that they have been dead for four or five days. Maybe they are the unfortunate people who died in the battles of Immortal Layers. Tut-tut…”
Su Li stayed calm and did not speak any word. She moved on. Then the ghost fire became more and more thick. They illuminated the karst cave, as if it was daytime. It also looked like a hell.
At the end of the hell, there was no ghost fire floating in the air. Her sight couldn’t even penetrate the darkness in the front.
“It seems that I get to the right place.”
Su Li frowned. The noise around her ears reached its maximum. As if one hundred people hung upon her shoulders and whispered some words that she couldn’t understand near her ears.
Even so, she still didn’t close her auditory sense. She just slowed down to walk along the Endless Water.
“The environment here reminds me of a place.”
Su Li suddenly said in a calm voice, “I almost died there.”
Black Lotus’s expression slightly changed, “Is there such a place in the Star Path?”
Since the rebirth of Su Li, he only remembered that she was in danger in the Star Path.
“No.”
Su Li shook her head and kept silent.
Black Lotus got a little angry. He muttered, “Well, since you don’t tell me, I can guess it myself. That’s so easy.”
Saying this, he tried to recall. Then he really thought of something.
In those days, in order to break through the third hurdle of Suiyu Tactics by violence in the Bizhui Zone, Su Li lost her pneuma for seven days. Black Lotus thought he might have another master.
From then on, Su Li became more and more mysterious. She even knew some secrets that he couldn’t know.
“It seems that you have noticed it.”
Su Li stopped at the black curtain in the end and said in a flat voice, “Here is the end of someone’s awareness sea.”
Black Lotus was shocked and said in a trembling voice, “The awareness sea has ever been shadowless and immaterial. Whose awareness sea is this? How can it become a real sea? …Should we go in?”
Su Li squinted and transmitted the sound lightly,
“Someone is inside.”
Before Black Lotus could give a panic-stricken exclamation, Su Li walked into it and disappeared.
—
As darkness fell, it seemed that time lost its significance.
“This place…is strange! It seems that there is a force that is constantly eroding this place. If I get out from the ring, I will get hurt.”
Black Lotus retracted to the ring and transmitted the sound in terror.
Su Li became silent. She stood still and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes again.
Suddenly, many red lines bestrewed the entire darkness in her line of sight. These lines were all straight which shot everywhere with many sources.
Su Li remembered the red lines she saw at the end of her own awareness sea in those days. Those red lines also had more than one sources. But the sources of those red lines were much less than these of the lines in front of her.
“Go check the first.”
Su Li floated far away. The black light sheltering her was not obvious, but it could rival the force which was eroding this place in the air. And it could still draw strength from the darkness and didn’t become dim.
“That is the light of Su Li’s own divine awareness.”
Locked in the ring, Black Lotus saw it and became excited.
“As expected, little Su Li has been to the end of her own awareness. Since the prehistoric times, there has been a legend. There was a place full of crossing lines of fate. Only if you break through your own divine awareness can you see and…have the probability of awakening to the control method. Is she awakened to it?”
When Black Lotus was losing in thought, Su Li had already arrived at the first source.
At the source, there was an animated black and white city. They could see people walking there.
“Black and white. It is the memory of that person.”
Su Li walked into the city. She observed it carefully. Although the memory was short, she still found many details and clues.
“Among the numerous practitioners walking in the city, there were dozens of ghosts. And some of them wore the clan uniforms of Prehistoric Ghost Clan.”
Black Lotus was surprised, “This is definitely the scene in the All Spirits Age. This person is a very old man from Human Clan.”
“How do you speculate he is a human?”
asked Su Li. Black Lotusraised his head proudly, “You don’t know it. So, when it comes to the crunch, you need me to help you out…”
Before Black Lotus ended his words, he saw Su Li’s more and more dangerous eyes. He gave a dry cough immediately and explained, “In the legend, only Human Clan has the end of divine awareness. Human Clan takes the three spirits and seven souls as the light. And the light could light up the road of divine awareness. In the prehistoric time, there were some clever people who could even light up the end of divine awareness overnight. And then they became the immortals!
Maybe the legend is not the truth. But since the ancient times, there has been rumors that only Human Clan has the end of divine awareness and the other clans don’t. Some people said that it’s the talent of Human clan, but it’s hard to awaken to that.”
Su Li nodded and walked along the source.
Although the force in the darkness was eroding this place, it didn’t hinder her. After an hour, Su Li stopped. She recorded all the black and white pictures in her mind.
Perhaps it had been so long that the memory pictures left were few. What Su Li could speculate from the pictures was naturally not much as well.
They temporarily called the master of the end of divine awareness All Spirits Man.
The All Spirits Man was powerful in that time. At least in his memory, there was no failure. And he was also a patriarch of a flourishing clan which boasted hundreds of thousands of clansmen. In addition, the clan churned out many talents. They should have had a great future.
Somehow, this patriarch schemed something. He sealed all the clansmen in a secluded site including his only child. Then the clan was exterminated by Destroy Thunder!
The end of memory was that he dragged his seriously injured body and sat on the throne under which there was one person kneeling on one knee to listen to him.
Su Li observed the secluded site where the All Spirits Man sealed his clansmen. It seemed like a place where Su Li had ever been.
She couldn’t confirm that place was at the end of divine awareness.
“The time in the space of divine awarenesspassed extremely slowly. In those days, I felt that I had been in that place for several years. But when I came to reason, I found that it just cost several days.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She touched the line which had the darkest redwith her fingertip. Then a road appeared in her sight.
But Black Lotus couldn’t see anything.
“Little Su Li, you can really see the crossing lines of fate!”
Black Lotus muttered, “I don’t care about it. Without it I can still live. Humph… Why am I not a human…”
After a while,
Su Li came to a river. Indeed, it wasn’t a real river. Because this river was composed of lines in various shades of red. And the lines had the same direction. Some of red lines were constantly shuttling, which looked like a flowing red river from the distance.
“Su Li, what are you looking at? There is nothing.”
Black Lotus was puzzled.
“The Fate River.”
said Su Li calmly. Black Lotus was shocked.
“There are countless dead persons’ fates in the river. And those fates will continue to vanish with the flows of the long river of time. If no one remembers them, there would be no trace of them in the Fate River.”
“How…did you know that?”
Black Lotus asked in a trembling voice. Su Li still said calmly, “Naturally, I knew it all.”
“Oh…”
Black Lotus answered obediently. He put away his pneuma and finally realized that he could only watch and listen to her.
“There is a blank in the gap between the Fate River and the end of divine awareness.”
Su Li looked at the red river and turned around to walk along another red line.
Black Lotus remembered the pictures of memory he had seen before. He was surprised, “Do you mean that?!”
Su Li curled up her lips, “Go see it.”
Hum—
The red lines and the memorial tablets in the ancestral temple were vibrating. Then the vague writing on the tablets gradually revealed.
Jiang Run barely distinguished the writingon one of the tablets. He was too astonished to say a word.
“Wu shi huan du e—”
Unidentified whispering sounded near Su Li’s ears. This time, Black Lotus hiding in the ring could hear it clearly. He gave a serious expression.
In the darkness, the red lines gradually turned into thickly dotted ice mounds. They couldn’t see the bound.
There were 100,000 ice mounds hidden in the gap of fate!
How large-scale it was!
“Your patriarch sealed you here, so as to bring you to light someday. It has been hundreds of thousands of years since that. Unfortunately, the people in the mounds must have been dead.”
The cold and resentful pneumas came over. Su Li’s eyes became black. Then she took a deep breath and smiled.
“Good taste.”
Black Lotus said, “Master, be careful. These…ghosts have been dead for so many years. They can’t be belittled.”
“Sister!”
Hong Baizhu was attracted by the pneumas. She jumped out from the Cang Lei’s Cave with blood tears in her eyes.
“The pneumas are…very strange. They don’t belong to my father’s subordinates. But the pneumasare very strong. Sister, don’t alert them.”
“Don’t worry.”
Su Li touched the small head of Hong Baizhu. Black light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She looked up and laughed, “With superficial scholarship, Su Jiuzhoufrom Prehistoric Ghost Clan, comes to visit!”
