Chapter 176 Infiltration

eternal life.

Napoli Disley said a lot, but what he revealed between the lines was actually the pursuit and desire for immortality.

He wanted to once again embrace the uniqueness of the "Abyss" and become the god of the Abyss pathway.

Helmaene did not respond to Napoli Disri's fervent words. From the very beginning of her extraordinary journey, what she firmly pursued was the absolute freedom of her individual self.

Amanisis was the same.

Of course, this doesn't mean they were completely unmoved.

But this upheaval is not the kind of helplessness and confusion one feels when faced with the evil in human nature.

Rather, it was the recollection of similar experiences in their childhood that fueled their unwavering pursuit of power; they had always sought a powerful force capable of controlling their own destiny.

Weakness is not a sin, but it brings misfortune.

Just like the Earth that is currently surrounded by the ancients.

Helmaene did not choose humanity because of its brilliance, nor would she abandon humanity because of its evil. The reason she chose humanity as the foundation of her faith was simply because she was a human being.

Grisha, now the AI, tirelessly handles countless complex and trivial human affairs every day.

He truly remained completely unmoved by Napoli Disri's words.

If Grisha could fall into confusion and bewilderment because of the evil in human nature, then he would have collapsed the moment he became an AI and began to deeply intervene in the operation of human society.

At this moment, Grisha was using this opportunity to record everything he had read when he came into contact with the "Abyss".

He will not easily condemn human beings based on so-called "evil intentions," but He will judge all "sins" in a just and dignified manner.

In the darkness where the uniqueness of the "Abyss" gathers, Helmaenie finds the exposed uniqueness of the "Abyss".

An irresistible attraction welled up from the depths of her heart.

She had felt the same attraction to the unique individuals in all five families.

This is not only because "God" once contained the source material "Shadow World".

Furthermore, because Helmaenie is now possessing Zhou Mei, a treasured in the Shadow World of the Western Continent, through the extraordinary characteristics of the "Filthy King," she has gained a deeper connection with both the "Shadow World" and the "Abyss" and the "Bound Ones."

All around, Napolidisley's restless emotions spread like a pervasive mist. However, Helmani paid no heed to this; she slowly reached out, her pale hand grasping the uniqueness of the "Abyss."

At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on her—

She clearly realized that she could now use the abyss as a springboard to fully utilize the status of the "Chaos Sea" source essence and penetrate the power of the "Chaos Sea" into the Western Continent, which was shielded by the Celestial Venerable!

It's like the source matter from the Western Continent seeping in.

She can do exactly the same thing by using the abyss.

However, Helmani also clearly understood that the difficulties she faced were far greater than those of the source matter in the Western Continent.

Because outside the Celestial Barrier lies a high-sequence characteristic that carries the primordial power of the Western Continent, such as the "Hidden Sage," the "Goddess of Beauty," the "Vampire Progenitor," and the "Phoenix Progenitor"...

These are either sequence-1 extraordinary properties or path uniqueness at higher levels.

However, in the Western Continent, there is no sequence-one characteristic and uniqueness of all five paths.

This inference, which had once resided in her heart, was now undeniably confirmed after Helmaene grasped the uniqueness of the "Abyss."

However, with the help of Zhou Mei's presence, Helmaenie can sense, influence, and permeate the power of the "Chaos Sea" into the extraordinary characteristics of the five families that are at a lower sequence near Zhou Mei.

Right now, Helmaenie is on Beast Mountain, where Zhou Mei is staying, and has sensed a not-so-high extraordinary characteristic.

……

Beast Mountain.

On the winding mountain road, on a fine horse, Aya, dressed in a light-colored dress, has an elegant figure yet exudes a hint of fragility.

"I've heard that there are immortals in the mountains, and that becoming an immortal grants eternal life... I wonder if you, Mei'er, knew of these rumors when you traveled the world?"

Riding on horseback, Aya kept pace with Zhou Mei at a moderate speed, a faint smile on her face, her eyes revealing a longing and curiosity about the pursuit of immortality.

"No," Zhou Mei replied succinctly.

In fact, as a cultivator, she naturally had some knowledge of the matter of immortality.

Especially after receiving the ordination, her horizons broadened considerably, and she learned that there really is such a thing as extending one's lifespan.

But even the "masters of the Dark Lodge" generation after generation will eventually merge with the Dao.

Therefore, in Zhou Mei's view, there is a limit to the increase of lifespan in this world. Immortality is not easily obtained, and eternal life is like an illusory dream, nothing but a delusion.

"That's a real pity..." Aya said with a hint of regret on her face, and smiled gently.

"Perhaps it is because I am frail and sickly, and have suffered from illness since childhood, that I am even more fascinated and curious about the matter of immortality."

"I was once fortunate enough to be taken in by a Taoist priest and was taught the method of cultivating qi. I thought I could use this to strengthen my body and embark on the path of cultivation."

"But later I was attacked by evil spirits, which caused all my previous cultivation efforts to be wasted. I had no choice but to seek help from external things."

Aya's words carried a hint of helplessness and resentment.

Zhou Mei listened quietly without saying a word, only nodding slightly.

Meanwhile, the martial arts masters who had been gathered by Aya and her father all spoke of "Miss Aya's perseverance" and other similar sentiments, their voices echoing through the mountains and forests.

With the support of Aya and her father, all of them were accompanied by fine horses.

With the help of their horses, they traveled together into the depths of the Beast Mountain.

Hermaine confirmed that among these people, apart from Aya herself, there were no other recipients of the ordination, including the so-called wealthy businessman father of Aya.

However, Helmani could not confirm what kind of scheme Aya, the "City of Calamity," had in order to gather so many martial arts practitioners among its ordained followers.

But they are nothing more than scout pieces, evil sacrifices, and the like.

That treasure has changed hands many times since it appeared, and according to the latest intelligence, it is now lost in the Beast Mountain.

At this moment, Aya's wealthy father was recounting information about the priceless treasure. His voice was calm and capable, with the long, steady breath of a trained martial artist:

"According to legend, that treasure is a nine-inch square jade disc in the shape of a yin-yang fish."

"When this jade disc is exposed to the sun, a three-inch-tall nascent soul phantom will appear at the core of the jade, and that phantom will remove all impurities the moment it appears."

"In recent days, there have been frequent rumors of this kind in Beast Mountain, but according to the rumors, this treasure seems to be unclaimed again. The last person who took the treasure has disappeared without a trace."

"If any heroes discover this treasure, please be extremely careful. There are bound to be other dangers and secrets on it that we have yet to discover."

This wealthy businessman, who called himself "Idle Old Man," appeared to be a kind and sincere person, but these seasoned veterans were actually quite skeptical.

Meanwhile, as Zhou Mei drew closer to the treasure in a straight line, Helmaenie discovered that she had already managed to corrupt the object with the power of the "Chaos Sea"...
