Beside him stood a young man with an extraordinary bearing, Murong Fan of the Murong family. He stood tall and erect, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an undeniable arrogance.
“What you say is very true. This man is indeed a great hidden danger to the North Sea.
Although we belong to different factions, we both guard the North Sea and share its safety. This collaboration makes us realize that the disputes of the past were merely the views of petty men. True experts should respect each other.”
Though his words were cold, they revealed a rare sense of agreement and emotion, as if he had finally found a glimmer of resonance in the long struggle.
Gongsun Haiming nodded slightly upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
“Indeed, the North Sea's actions are no different from raising poisonous insects, and we are the insects that bite each other.
However, it is this endless competition that makes us stronger and more resilient. Perhaps this is the destiny of the North Sea, and also our mission as guardians.”
Murong Fan gazed at Gongsun Haiming, his tone filled with both agreement and confusion: “I admit that your mind and wisdom are rare in this world.
You may be able to easily defeat Li Chengfeng, but I can't help but ask, is all this sacrifice really worth it?
We possess long lifespans, but you only have a thousand years left. How do you plan to spend these thousand years?”
Gongsun Haiming's lips curled into a faint smile upon hearing this: “This is simply a matter of different aspirations.
You seek immortality, while I crave the ultimate in wisdom.
Life, to me, is merely a vessel for exploring truth. If I can exchange it for a deeper understanding of the world, what does it matter even if I sacrifice it?
Looking at you, even if you live for three thousand years, if your heart is empty, no matter how long life is, it will only be a repetition of years, lacking that passion for exploring the unknown.”
Murong Fan nodded slightly, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes: “I respect your choice.
Since that's the case, we should retreat. It's not advisable to act rashly in the far west for the time being. It still needs to serve as a barrier for the North Sea against the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Clan.
A hundred years from now, our plan will be launched, and that will be the time when the Demon Clan and the Blood Dragon Clan are annihilated.”
Gongsun Haiming nodded in agreement, and the two then disappeared from the spot, leaving behind traces of complex magic arrays.
They had discovered this spatial rift long ago, originally to deal with the threat of the Fire Demon Clan, but unexpectedly it eventually became a cage to trap Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng, the hero who once eliminated the Fire Demon Clan, had now become the target of his own people's schemes.
Sitting inside the Myriad Poison Pearl, Li Chengfeng felt the endless tearing of souls from the outside world, but his heart was unusually calm.
The artifact spirit of the Myriad Poison Pearl had passed away, and he had become the new master, able to clearly sense the movements of the outside world.
Although there were many of these souls, they were not ferocious vengeful spirits or evil spirits, but rather various forms of wandering souls, which devoured each other, exhibiting a strange ecology.
Facing the strange soul with three heads—a monk in the middle, and a Taoist and a Confucian scholar on either side—they argued endlessly, seemingly showing a strong interest in the Myriad Poison Pearl.
Li Chengfeng did not act rashly, but allowed them to collide, taking the opportunity to assess the power of these souls. He quickly discovered that although these souls posed a certain threat, their power was not enough to break through the Myriad Poison Pearl's defenses.
However, Li Chengfeng also realized that this mysterious place only allowed entry and not exit, and how to return to the real world became a problem he urgently needed to solve.
But he was not overly anxious, but faced the predicament with a calm attitude.
He knew that he had made sufficient preparations, and even if he encountered misfortune in this place, he could be reborn in the real world through the resurrection technique.
“There will always be a way,” Li Chengfeng thought to himself, as he began to carefully analyze the surrounding environment, looking for a possible way out.
After mastering the Myriad Poison Pearl, Li Chengfeng used it as his shelter, resisting the endless wandering souls from the outside world.
However, he was not satisfied with this, and a desire for exploration and growth surged in his heart. In this mysterious space, he gradually discovered the amazing changes brought about by devouring wandering souls.
When the small snake-shaped wandering soul tried to invade his sea of consciousness, Li Chengfeng showed amazing reaction speed and powerful soul power.
He easily sucked the wandering soul into his body, not only without suffering any harm, but also felt his power increase by a fraction.
This discovery reminded him of his experience in the Death Space, those vague fragments of memory coincided with the feeling of devouring the wandering soul just now.
He suddenly realized that the mysterious space that appeared every time after his death was exactly where these wandering souls were located.
He had been reborn here countless times, each time accompanied by the devouring of soul fragments. These fragments not only reshaped his soul, but also made him an exceptionally powerful existence.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng's eyes flashed with unprecedented firmness and depth.
In order to further verify his guess and seek greater power, Li Chengfeng made a bold decision.
He allowed his physical body to enter the Life Realm space, where it could be protected by the Sala Tree to ensure its safety.
And his own soul, wrapped in the Myriad Poison Pearl, bravely embarked on a journey to explore the unknown territory ahead.
Whenever he encountered wandering souls, Li Chengfeng no longer hesitated. Relying on his powerful soul power, he took the initiative to attack and devoured the wandering souls one by one.
In this process, he was surprised to find that these wandering souls were not only a source of energy, but also like invisible books, containing rich cultivation methods, knowledge, and whimsical ideas.
Each devouring made his spirit more condensed, and at the same time allowed his wisdom and strength to be unprecedentedly improved.
In this way, Li Chengfeng was no longer in a hurry to leave.
His soul freely shuttled through this mysterious place, devouring and comprehending, and his strength grew day by day. This place was extremely mysterious, and he had not yet encountered greater danger. If it was really safe, he planned to try to condense his Nascent Soul here.
As he moved upward, he deeply experienced everything around him.
With continuous devouring, his soul became more and more powerful. Originally, he could already suppress all the souls here, which further prompted him to speed up the devouring.
After the Myriad Poison Pearl was refined by him, some soul cultivation methods could be realized, and the devouring efficiency was significantly improved.
He suddenly opened his giant mouth, as if a tornado swept through the stream, turning into a wind cage, instantly wrapping the fleeing wandering souls and swallowing them into his belly.
He smacked his lips lightly, still wanting more, and continued to sprint forward. After a round, he gained a lot, and his soul became more and more powerful.
This space was vast and boundless, pitch black, and only wandering souls could survive.
Weak wandering souls relied on devouring darkness to protect themselves, while powerful ones devoured each other, forming a food chain.
After Li Chengfeng arrived, regardless of strength, he accepted all and devoured them all. Darkness lingered in his heart, and only his divine sense could explore what his eyes could see, and this honing also made his divine sense more powerful and resilient.
Just as he was flying fast, he suddenly encountered a barrier blocking him.
Penetrating this barrier would be another realm, meaning that the Land of Wandering Souls where Li Chengfeng was located was only the first layer, and the wandering souls were mostly Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and even Qi Refining cultivators.
And the next layer was the world of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Although Li Chengfeng's soul was strong enough and had long reached the Nascent Soul stage, he pondered how to overcome this obstacle.
