Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

The water, imprisoned for thousands of years, flowed without the slightest hesitation toward its long-overdue end.

Wei Xi, who was going rafting, drifted downstream, occasionally having to avoid the motionless corpses.

“The corpse shouldn’t be moving anyway,” Wei Xi thought to himself. “What’s wrong with the Dead Water City lineage? They love to touch corpses so much.”

That's true. The corpses in Deadwater City were piled up like mountains, and those survivors who were eaten by the Devouring Sun had become living corpses.

“That’s not right,” Wei Xi thought for a moment, “It seems that it’s not just the people of Deadwater City who love corpses. There are quite a few wandering corpses in the Nine Passes Mountains, and there’s also the infamous City of the Dead to the west. Could it be that this was popular before?”

Wei Xi, soaking in the water, kicked away the corpse beside him, feeling a chill in his heart—if this were true, then the human race's extermination of demons could not be considered cruel.

This is a life-or-death racial war.

Why do people prefer to use humans as materials? Is it simply because they are easy to obtain?

Wei Xi shook her head: It wouldn't make a difference if she figured it out, since she still had her bottom line and wouldn't risk killing her own kind.

Soon, Wei focused her attention on the water: she was being lifted high by the current, and the upward momentum showed no sign of stopping.

If it weren't for the strong current lifting him up, Wei Xi would have been smashed to pieces long ago.

"Strange. Why doesn't this water just fall directly into the abyss?"

Lost and helpless in the current, Wei Xi found it extremely difficult to turn over and look up. She couldn't help but transform into a stubborn fish, thrashing about.

However, undercurrents were turbulent, and Wei Xi, who was like a floating duckweed, choked on several mouthfuls of stale water before finally calming down.

Just kidding. Wei changed his tune and stopped the three hardworking corpses, using them to turn the tables.

Wei Xi's disrespect for corpses was countless. To be on the safe side, she even took out a finger-thick hemp rope and tied it to a raft, which greatly improved her field of vision.

The Demon King of the Corpse Sea, I, Wei, am not to be outdone!

Wei Xi and her specially made raft were still being pushed upwards by the current. She reluctantly paddled a couple of times, but as expected, it had no effect.

"Was this Zuo Fei's doing? Or is it due to the characteristics of the Abyss?"

Several ideas swirled in Wei Xi's mind, but he did not rashly use his spiritual power to interfere with the water flow.

"This place," Wei Xi pursed his lips, his fingers rubbing together again, "is not a place where we should rashly use our spiritual power."

Wei Xi was thinking about the bright yellow flame in the coral box. It was this inconspicuous flame that had just converted a massive amount of spiritual energy into yin and yang energy, thus saving the stagnant water.

"This ball of flame... did I really just grab it randomly? But is it really possible for someone to control the behavior of a demonic beast?"

Wei Xi's suspicious nature was at its peak, so he immediately stepped in and displayed his skills, transforming Zuo Fei into a source of evil who couldn't resist temptation and turned to the dark side.

One thing that Wei Xi was still bothered about was that in Qin Feng's hallucination, the people who were burned to death were shouting "Dead water is resurrected, all rivers flow eastward".

If these people were truly killed by Zuo Fei, how could they know such a crucial secret, and even after death, still remember it and pass it on?

Because he couldn't figure out the tricks of Dead Water City, Wei Xi didn't dare to use too much spiritual power except to protect himself, for fear of falling into their trap.

"I finally figured out what happened in the Bone Reef Sea, but I never expected Deadwater City to have an even bigger secret. What bad luck!"

Wei Xi endured the nausea and tried to swim, but it was obviously to no avail, and he was eventually pushed to an exaggerated height.

But Wei Xi realized an even more serious problem at this moment—she had not yet surfaced, so how far was Deadwater City from the sea?

Even the most oblivious person would realize the strangeness of this place at this moment. Although the concept of pressure doesn't exist in this era, the most basic human understanding is that the deep sea is untouchable.

Just thinking about all that seawater pressing down on her head would make most people's hearts race. Wei Xi finally realized how deep and murky the water she had plunged into, and she couldn't help but shiver, an instinctive worry about her future rising within her.

Out of love for his life, Wei Xi disregarded the potential consequences of his spiritual power and casually cast two more layers of spiritual power on himself.

Judging from the results, Wei Xi's move was nothing short of divine.

When the raft carrying the corpses was pushed to be level with the widest part of the whirlpool, the water flow suddenly stopped. Wei Xi knew something was wrong, but before he could react, the water that had sustained him vanished in an instant.

Wei Xi was falling so fast that for a moment she even felt her flesh and bones about to separate physically.

The raft first struck Wei Xi's knees upwards, then the raft, which had temporarily become her home, parted ways with her forever and plunged into the bottomless abyss.

The outermost layer of spiritual energy shattered into powder under the violent impact of the water. Wei Xi, stunned, waved his hand, leaving afterimages, and became a person trapped inside the shell.

Under such a violent impact, Wei Xi's bones trembled. Fortunately, she remembered to control the flow of spiritual energy within her body, barely resisting the effects of the fall.

Even under these circumstances, Wei Xi still struggled to open his eyes, trying to observe his surroundings clearly.

Strictly speaking, Wei Xi was at the very edge of the vortex. If Qin Feng stood on the edge of the city, he would see Wei Xi as an insect trapped in a forming amber.

But Wei Xi, caught in the vortex, noticed that he was falling much slower than the other "components".

Given the long history and renowned reputation of Deadwater City, the number of accumulated corpses is countless. In addition, Wei Xi was of sound mind and had normal vision at this time, so it was easy for him to reach this conclusion.

Wei Xi didn't know how to control her falling speed, but she had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore.

Within Wei Xi's existing knowledge base, she had heard of one similar abyss and witnessed one herself.

"How about trying Yin and Yang energy?"

Wei Xi did this with ease. First, she stored her spiritual energy into her bones in one breath, and then opened her Qi Palace to check whether there was any Yin or Yang energy in the surrounding environment.

"Not even a little?" Wei Xi frowned. "Where did all that Yin and Yang energy that was converted go?"

Frustrated by the lack of more stones extracted from the monster's body, Wei Xi reluctantly abandoned the idea of ​​testing with demonic energy.

Wei Xi pondered it over and over, and found the abyss outside Dead Water City to be incredibly interesting.

As a top student in the Yin-Yang Slope prison and an investigator of the Black Abyss in Chongxiao City, Wei Xi was very familiar with the Yin-Yang energy that permeated the area. Such a similar shape would be terrifying if there were no Yin-Yang energy.

The water was rushing at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Xi had reached a relatively narrow part of the whirlpool.

Wei Xi had just closed her Qi Palace in preparation for landing when she was drawn to something unusual.

What's in this water?

Wei Xi was certain that the viscous liquid appeared suddenly, and it felt like peeling back the skin of a fruit and finding rotten flesh inside.

As Wei Xi drew closer to the abyss, the narrow vortex grew increasingly viscous. She boldly reached out to touch it, but her hand felt like it was plunging into a pile of rotting flesh.

"Strange..." A thought suddenly struck Wei Xi, "Could it be that this water won't be directly absorbed by the abyss? Is that why such a long distance of preparation is needed?"

"So, perhaps those yin and yang energies are the raw materials for this process!"

Wei Xi regained her confidence; she felt her theory was impeccable.

But reality quickly slapped her in the face.

Wei Xi was finally swallowed by the abyss by the current; his sight disappeared first, followed by his hearing, and finally his sense of smell. (End of Chapter)
