Chapter 112 The Remnant Soul in the Incense
"This is really too unlucky!"

Sensing the information coming from the fragments of spirit, Jiang Yi, who was rushing to Tianduan Canyon, was speechless.

Although he didn't have much hope for Fenshen originally, he was not cut out to be a spy. Now, although he hasn't accomplished anything, he has done nothing at all.

"That's not right. With the system of the Hell Soul Realm, how did the sects of the Chongming Realm plant spies there?"

He had a collection of information on spies planted by major sects in the Prison Soul Realm. However, due to the limitations of his cultivation system, the spies he had were all mixed in various human settlements, and for most of them, even their life or death could not be confirmed. They were just scraps of scraps.

Compared to infiltrating the Sword Realm, infiltrating the Soul Prison Realm is more difficult than one level higher. Others are floating in spirit, but you are running in a physical body, so there is no way for you to break into the upper level.

But Jiang Yi knew very well that these sects must have a group of high-end spies in their hands, otherwise how could the previous three-party spy wars be successful!

But how did they get around the soul seal pit?
The Soul King uses soul seals to control the soul cultivators in the Yin Shen Realm. The Yin Shen Realm then uses various means to control the soul cultivators at the lower levels, and so on, controlling each layer downwards. This is how Chu Wuyong’s previous soul servants came about. They were both servants and soldiers.

In the entire Hell Soul Realm, below the Soul King, there are only a few soul cultivators who are truly free!
"I'll have to ask Master Qin Shan about this later."

If that clone can be preserved, it must be preserved. Even if it is always imprisoned in Jiufeng Ridge, it can still play a role.

Coming to Tianduan Canyon again, it was deserted. Except for a few personnel who stayed behind to maintain the divine rune formation on a daily basis, all other forces in the various sects had withdrawn. The divine rune gate was still being guarded by an immortal realm expert of King Zunshan.

The flying boat stopped high in the sky, and Jiang Yi rode the cloud to the gate of the divine pattern, but for some reason, divine patterns appeared from time to time in the entire formation, and the light flashed.

"What happened to the formation?"

"The changes in the canyon have never stopped. The fault spaces are merging with each other, and the range of influence is also extending to the depths of the canyon at both ends, exceeding the coverage of the large formation."

"That mysterious aura?"

"Nothing strange is happening at the moment." He has been sitting here all the time, and his biggest purpose is to monitor the Tianduan Canyon.

Tianduan Gorge divides Dongzhou and Shunzhou, and even extends into Yuzhou. The first change occurred in a section less than a thousand miles long. This large formation was set up for the so-called "fairness".

But the good news is that this impact is always only within the canyon. Even if it extends, it is only within the canyon!
"I arranged for someone a few days ago, and they are ready to cooperate with you at any time."

"There's no rush for this. I'll go into the canyon and take a look." Now that he was already here, Jiang Yi decided to go into the canyon and explore again.

Although he had been down to the canyon twice before, he had been in a hurry each time and had not explored the place carefully or conducted in-depth research.

Think about the consequences of a large amount of mysterious aura gathering in Yanshan City. However, the mysterious aura can maintain a very strange hidden state in Tianduan Canyon.

Perhaps the meteor falling into the Tianduan Canyon was not a coincidence, but there was some unknown connection.

"Now you are the only one who can go down to the Sky-breaking Canyon at will, but you still have to be careful, this place is weird!"

Jiang Yi nodded and flew into the divine gate on a cloud.

The surrounding environment has hardly changed and is still as desolate. The fog that affects perception covers a large area of ​​space, making exploration much more difficult than at the beginning.

However, these are not a problem for Jiang Yi who owns the Haotian Mirror. If he wants to collect the mysterious aura, he naturally needs the Haotian Mirror that can perceive the mysterious aura.

Fortunately, the previous battle in Yanshan City made the Hell Soul Realm realize some problems. Although this made them more closely tied to the Sword Realm, it did not mean that they were willing to become the Sword Realm's pawns.

Therefore, the Chongming Realm had a precious breathing time, and even the suppression of the Heavenly Dao was temporarily stopped.

The Apricot Yellow Flag flew out from Jiang Yi's sea of ​​consciousness, and thousands of golden lotuses appeared. The penetrating light beam of the Haotian Mirror swept over the edge guarded by the Apricot Yellow Flag.

“Still can’t see it!”

Jiang Yi wanted to try and see if he could use the characteristics of the Apricot Yellow Flag, "all evils retreat, and all magic is invulnerable", to "squeeze" out the mysterious aura hidden in the space, so as to achieve the purpose of being able to be perceived by the Haotian Mirror.

Now it seems that he was overthinking it. The environment here is simply special enough.

The layers of space in the canyon were indeed merging with each other, growing larger, and becoming stable from being fragmented. As the fusion progressed, the fog that filled the space became thicker.

The light of insight swept across the spaces. There were very few people left here. Most of them were excavating in the deepest ruins. Until a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared on the mirror.

The Dinghai Divine Pearl flew out and pierced through the void. Jiang Yi squeezed directly into the space crack. When he reappeared, the surrounding scene had changed drastically. There was a cliff under his feet, and on the cliff was the person he was looking for.

Meng Laocai!

Jiang Yi is one of the few people who can be called a friend.

But he now looked very different from what Jiang Yi remembered. His black hair had turned gray like dead grass, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his figure was no longer strong.

You know, he is not even forty years old!

"I'll take you out later."

By the way, Jiang Yi still owes Meng Laocai a magic weapon. Back then on Shuangta Mountain, Meng Laocai cooperated with him in the experiment. He had promised, but he was temporarily unable to refine a magic weapon that could cooperate with the fortune-type martial arts.

"Thank you, but I want to stay here!" Looking at Jiang Yi with a black lotus under his feet and an apricot yellow flag hanging on his head, Meng Laocai shook his head.

"Why is this?" Jiang Yi was puzzled.

At the beginning, many warriors left Tianduan Canyon and died suddenly due to being contaminated by the mysterious aura. However, after their deaths, the mysterious aura that contaminated their souls seemed to disappear and did not continue to spread like a plague.

And Meng Laocai is definitely the most special among such people. He is the only one who can still survive the backlash of heaven and earth after being contaminated by the mysterious aura.

It was precisely because of this that he suffered more hardships. I think a large part of the reason for his current state is due to this.

In the Hell Soul Realm, he witnessed soul cultivators who viewed their fellow practitioners as "precious medicine", and the warriors in the Chongming Realm were not much better.

"I have already reached the realm of God Melting. I am less than forty years old!" An excited smile appeared on Meng Laocai's face, but there was endless grief and indignation in his eyes.

"I was able to get to this point entirely because of the influence of the sect's treasure, but the sect's treasure was also destroyed because of me, so I must bear the corresponding responsibility!"

"The sect's masters have all gone to the Tiandu defense line under the leadership of the sect master. I don't know if they can come back alive. I don't want the sect's inheritance to be cut off. My chance is here!"

"It's right here!" Meng Laocai said with great determination.

Yuanbao Sect was originally just a first-rate sect, and because of its special martial spirit, without the big ingot connecting the upper and lower levels, the sect's overall strength dropped by at least 30%, and that big ingot also carried the inheritance of Wuyi's [Good Luck].

It is now a period of world war, and it is hard to say whether Chongming Realm can be defended, but Yuanbao Sect is very likely to be destroyed first.

"These pills can increase your lifespan. I hope they can help you." Jiang Yi took out three bottles of blood pills and handed them to Meng Laocai.

He can indeed bring Meng Laocai away from Tianduan Canyon safely, but what after that?
He couldn't help Yuanbao Sect to continue the inheritance of [Hongyun], this was Meng Laocai's choice! "Thinking back to the Meiyuan banquet, everyone was still high-spirited and talking about the world, but in the blink of an eye, even Pang Tianyun died, died in the canyon, and not even his body was left behind." Elder Meng took the jade bottle and looked into the dim void, his eyes showing the indifference of seeing through life and death.

Jiang Yi also sighed. In the Three Realms, warriors were known for their physical bodies, but the irony was that warriors often died without a complete body.

He took out a jar of Drunkenness from his storage bag and handed it to Meng Laocai, but unfortunately all the people who had drunk with him back then were no longer around.

"Good stuff, this is more suitable for me than elixirs!" Meng Laocai took the jar of wine, broke the mud seal, took a big gulp and laughed.

"Staying alive is the most important thing. I still owe you a magic weapon!"

"Haha, I've always remembered this. You're a big shot in Chongming Realm now, so the magic weapon you give me can't be bad."

"It's definitely the same!"

……

After leaving the space where Meng Laocai was, Jiang Yi continued to go deeper, and then came to the space where Jiang Bai was originally. The phantom wandering in the fog was still there, and there was also a person here. He remembered that this person seemed to be the deputy hall master of the Moon Temple of the Three Saints Sect.

Wei Ruoguang believed that this phantom was his opportunity, so he never left and did not excavate the ruins.

Jiang Yi's arrival did not attract his attention. He was tracing back to the enlightenment that was about to emerge.

Soon, the shadow in the mist slashed out with another sword light. Jiang Yi let go of his defense and took the initiative to meet the sword light. The sword light, like the scorching sun, almost collapsed the space, and the momentum of destroying everything even frightened him at the beginning.

“Is this the upper realm?”

He wanted to find information about the mysterious aura from the illusion created by the sword light, but unfortunately failed. After being hit by the sword light, he could only see a blurry figure with its back to him, and endless light filled his sea of ​​consciousness.

After a brief stop, Jiang Yi continued to go deeper. He did not disturb the deputy guard. The light of insight carefully scanned the ruins at the end of the space.

Since Tianduan Canyon is so special, perhaps this place has some connection with that mysterious aura.

So far, the major sects have unearthed a large number of murals, incomplete statues, and Shinto sacrificial vessels from the ruins.

The murals that record the most information mainly revolve around the worship of gods, sacrifices, and miracles. They can help the sect restore the Shinto system, but they do not contain the information that Jiang Yi wants.

In order to prepare for the world war, most of the intelligence discovered here will be shared by various sects, hoping that they can actually use it to build a path above the Three Elements.

"Hey, there are still some incense left?"

As the Haotian Mirror rotated, Jiang Yi discovered a golden treasure jar with intricate patterns deep underground. Through the surface of the Haotian Mirror, Jiang Yi could faintly feel the scent of incense.

What does this mean?
God is not dead?

The Shinto sacrificial vessels previously unearthed by the various sects had long lost any traces of incense due to the erosion of time, let alone any remaining incense.

There was also Shintoism in the ancient times, and the heavenly system was quite complete. As long as the heaven did not fall, the gods would be immortal.

But it is obvious that the ordinary system of gods cannot reach such a height. One or more gods can form a belief system. When the god who is the source of belief falls, the entire belief system will collapse, and the gathered incense will naturally dissipate.

Jiang Yi couldn't wait to rush to the golden treasure jar and carefully took it out.

The treasure jar should be a sealed object. Jiang Yi did not break it violently, but carefully studied the method to open it.

Perhaps it was the erosion of endless years, or perhaps it was the influence of other reasons, but there was a crack in the seal of the treasure jar, otherwise the power of the incense inside would not have been able to seep out.

Since there is a gap, it is easy to open it.

The moment Jiang Yi opened the lid of the treasure jar, the power of the incense in the jar gushed out. Fortunately, he was prepared and sealed the mouth of the jar with magic.

Amidst the pale golden incense power that creates thick smoke, there is a remnant soul emitting a faint divine power.

The power of incense has a special fragrance that penetrates deep into the soul, but he doesn't want to be contaminated by incense for the time being. After all, in the prehistoric times, losers are listed as gods, and what everyone pursues is the free and easy immortal.

“Is this the remnant soul of a god?”

It is because of this remnant soul that the god, the source of faith, has not completely died, so the power of these incense has been preserved to this day.

Similarly, this remnant soul has been able to survive until now only by nourishing its soul with the power of incense. However, when the power of incense is exhausted, this remnant soul will not exist for long.

However, the incense power in the treasure jar is indeed running low.

However, this remnant soul should be able to bring him more information, allowing him to better understand the Chongming Realm and even the upper realm.

Jiang Yi carefully extended his spiritual sense to contact the remnant soul.

But when he touched the remnant soul, the golden lotus that appeared on the apricot yellow flag vibrated violently, and drops of golden light rain fell.

what happened?

“Kaiyang! Kaiyang!!”

At the same time, a piece of information followed his spiritual sense and directly bombarded into his sea of ​​consciousness, but it was just an unconscious voice that kept shouting the word "Kaiyang".

The sound was accompanied by divine power as sharp as a knife, but the divine power was blocked by the power of the apricot yellow flag, and only the sound was transmitted into his sea of ​​consciousness.

If it were anyone else in the Tianduan Canyon, this sound alone would probably be enough to destroy their soul.

"Can't communicate? Or haven't woken up yet?"

Judging from the divine power attached to the voice alone, the strength of this god is definitely beyond that of a warrior in the Three Yuan Realm.

Jiang Yi tried another method and used the Haotian Mirror to see through the remnant soul, but the scene that appeared on the mirror scared him.

A dense and mysterious aura surrounded the remnant soul, which was the mysterious aura he came here to collect.

The mysterious aura that was originally invisible in the Tianduan Canyon became visible after being entangled with this remnant soul?

Wait, this is not the overlapping space caused by a meteorite impact. These large ruins cannot possibly be brought by a meteorite!

Then why is the remnant soul of the god in this seal entangled by these mysterious auras?
How was this Tianduan Canyon formed?
