Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 48 Black Mud, Speculations

Suspended above the vast black mud, Chen Xingzhi looked into the distance but could not find an inch of land that was not covered by the black mud.

I couldn't help but feel suspicious. The spiritual vision level shouldn't just be like this, right?
Some of the bizarre things they had previously seen in the material world, such as wriggling shadows and eyeballs, were now completely gone.

Maybe they are located somewhere else?

With such questions in mind, the two of them passed through the black mud and began to explore this world that was very different from reality.

However, no matter how long they searched, there was always only endless black mud in front of them.

Bush made his own guess about this situation: "Are we facing a situation like a ghost wall?"

"It shouldn't be a ghost wall," Chen Xingzhi denied this speculation, "I left a few spiritual marks on the way here, and I can still feel their presence now."

That also means that they are indeed moving forward and not getting lost.

"But we still have two places we can try to explore." Chen Xingzhi pointed under his feet and then pointed in the direction above his head.

"You mean, underground and in the sky?"

Bush reacted immediately, looked up at the sky which was a strange green, and suggested: "Let's take a look at what's under the black mud first."

"Okay." Chen Xingzhi agreed with his suggestion.

The two of them moved quickly and lowered themselves to the ground, yet they never let themselves get stained with the black mud.

But as soon as they landed, they were in trouble.

This world had no Qi, nor the various substances they were familiar with. There was only black mud whose composition could not be analyzed at all. They didn't know how to start for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xingzhi decided to do it himself.

Although the lack of Qi and matter made most of his methods useless, fortunately, he still had enough magic power left in this incarnation of his will.

This world is a spiritual layer, and the black mud that exists in it should be a kind of existence close to spiritual bodies.

Therefore, he can also use the most direct, crude and least technical means to directly interfere with the black mud through magic power, dissolve it, and further investigate the situation below.

The magic power extended outside the body and gradually came into contact with the black mud.

The cold and sticky feeling made Chen Xingzhi feel as if he had touched an unspeakable object, causing the face of this incarnation of will to twitch.

Fortunately, he was still able to resist the urge to retract his magic power and continued to dissolve the black mud.

The black mud reacted with his magic power and gradually melted away, turning into twisted black lines that overflowed.

"What are these black lines?" Bush looked at them curiously, but out of caution, he did not touch them.

But those black lines seemed to have consciousness. They deliberately avoided Chen Xingzhi and went towards him.

Noticing this situation, Chen Xingzhi motioned for him to come closer to him, and at the same time released his magic power to protect his body.

"Boss, why don't these black lines dare to approach you, but all run towards me?" Bush was puzzled.

"I don't know either. Maybe I'm stronger and you're weaker, so they bully the weak and fear the strong?"

Chen Xingzhi made a casual remark that left Bush speechless.

Although this is true, it makes him angry.

Taking a picture of a black line in his hand, Chen Xingzhi began to study the line with two minds at once.

"It's a bit like the internal organs of ghosts that I studied before, and seems to contain some kind of emotions." Pinching the still twisting lines casually, he penetrated his magic power deeply into it and analyzed its composition.

Unlike the black mud that was as hard as a stinking stone and could not be penetrated by magic power, these lines gave him the feeling of being leaky like a sieve, which allowed magic power to penetrate easily.

As the analysis progressed step by step, he gradually understood everything about this black line.

Just as he guessed, these lines were indeed made up of emotions, and they contained not just one emotion, but multiple emotions.

Anger, laziness, greed. Even Chen Xingzhi didn't expect that this tiny black line could be so complicated.

Therefore, his eyes gradually became uneasy as he looked at the black muddy ground beneath his feet.

"If this entire black mud land is made up of this composition, how many emotions of living beings has it absorbed?"

Chen Xingzhi couldn't help but suspect that this was not a product of the world of Liao Zhai, because according to his estimation, even if all the creatures in the world of Liao Zhai were added, they might not be able to create such a large area of ​​black mud.

The sum of emotions contained in the black mud land is so despairing.

If we delve into this idea in detail, could it be that the emergence of the five turbidities and evil times is also related to this?
Bush, who was standing by, saw that Chen Xingzhi had been silent for a long time, and asked curiously, "Boss, what did you find? It doesn't look good."

After taking a look at him, Chen Xingzhi had an idea and said meaningfully, "It's really not a good thing. I think if we dig deeper, we can find the hidden thread of this world."

"Hidden line?" Bush was stunned. As a reincarnation who had experienced similar situations in the previous world, he knew what this meant.

It's nothing more than greater risks and greater benefits.

When he thought of this, his brows furrowed and he decided to find out more about it first.

"Well, would you like to elaborate?"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Chen Xingzhi smiled and said, "This vast land of black mud is a complete concentration of emotions. According to my calculations, even if the world of Liao Zhai were squeezed, it would probably not create such a large area of ​​black mud."

"In other words, this piece of black mud land may be a product from outside this world?" Bush was also a smart man and he understood the implication of his words in a moment.

If they continue to think along this line of thought, they may be able to discover products beyond the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Or to put it simply, if this place can be utilized, it would be an absurdly huge fortune.

"Yes, besides this, I have another idea." Chen Xingzhi patted Bush on the shoulder, alerting him.

"What, what did you do?" Bush suddenly had a bad feeling. "Boss, you don't want me to try another experiment, do you?"

"How can that be called an experiment? That's clearly helping teammates become stronger."

Chen Xingzhi persuaded him earnestly: "Since you can't improve vertically now, why don't you change your mindset and develop horizontally first, increase your size, and then think about improving quality."

"I think the black mud here is pretty good. Even if you only absorb a small portion of it, it will be enough to improve your soul a lot."

Bush felt that this idea was inappropriate.

He didn't think he could handle the emotions.

Chen Xingzhi didn't care about this. He had no shortage of experimental subjects anyway. If Bush disagreed, he still had other options.

Turning his attention back to the work in progress, he realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult to deepen his magical power.

The deeper the black mud goes, the more solid it becomes, and the more and more concentrated the emotions it contains, making it more difficult for him to decompose and dissolve it.
