On the riverbank, the bonfire crackled, and the aroma of grilled fish spread out.
"This fish is really good!"
Jiang Ming exclaimed as he gobbled his food. He had already eaten three grilled fish, bones included. He felt a rich and pure power flowing into him, nourishing his body and meridians.
In his spiritual core, the runes on his spirit base flickered, crazily absorbing the power from the fish to strengthen his spiritual energy. Jiang Ming could feel that his cultivation was growing rapidly.
However, this was not what surprised him the most. After all, these fish were formed from Soul Jade. The main power contained in them was still the nourishment of the divine soul.
While his spirit base was reaping many benefits, Jiang Ming could clearly sense that more power was gathering in his divine soul, leading his divine will to condense and grow at an amazing speed.
"The fish formed from the Soul Jade contains much more strength than the original Soul Jade."
Jiang Ming was both surprised and delighted. After eating these fish, his divine will would definitely become stronger. Perhaps even some Golden Core Realm cultivators would not be able to compete with him.
"When my physical body and spiritual energy reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, no one at my level will be able to defeat me."
Although he was confident in his own strength, he was not blindly arrogant. The gap between the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm was immense. His
However, with his Burning Spirit Scripture and the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body, if he could reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would not be afraid of Golden Core Realm cultivators.
"If my guess is correct, this should be that place!"
Beside him, the black sword remained silent after muttering to itself vaguely at the beginning, as if it was pondering something.
"What place?" Jiang Ming asked quickly.
"The Burial Ground! The origins of the Soul Suppressing River are much greater than you can imagine. It appeared in the previous era," the black sword said in a deep voice. "Even my master has never been able to find its source. However, he has seen records of it in some ancient books. In those records, the Soul Suppressing River is suspected to be related to the Yellow Spring, the Nirvana Realm, and even Samsara. It is a place that even Saints fear. However, everything in the world will come back to life. Just like your heavenly tribulation, there will always be new life in the midst of destruction. It was recorded in an old book that the deepest part of the Soul Suppressing River can kill the souls of all living beings in the world. However, there is also a chance of survival. Legend has it that there was once an invincible existence who went deep into the Soul Suppressing River in his twilight years in search of a chance to live a second life. He buried himself in the depths of the Soul Suppressing River, hoping that he would be able to regain his vitality.
"Why is the Soul Suppressing River so powerful?" Jiang Ming was shocked. He knew that this mysterious river was extraordinary. However, he never thought that it was related to the Nirvana Realm and even Samsara.
Even a Saint would not be able to clearly explore such a mysterious place.
The black sword continued, "Legend has it that there was more than one Saint who buried themselves in this river. Saints are supreme existences that control the great cultivation of Heaven and Earth. Even if such existences die, they will also cause their surroundings to change for them. The Burial Ground is a mysterious place that was born when a Saint died in the depths of the Soul Suppressing River. It doesn't belong to the world of immortal cultivation. Almost no one can find it. It has always only existed in legends. There are even some powerful cultivators who have said that the Burial Ground itself is a myth. No one can confirm its existence. Perhaps it is just an illusion."
"Then how can you be sure that this is the Burial Ground?" Jiang Ming was stunned.
"The runes here are unmistakable! At the end of the last era, I saw a Saint fall with my own eyes." The black sword's voice was a little low. "This place seems calm, and that aura is so faint that it's almost untouchable. However, it does exist."
"In other words. There's a fallen Saint here?" Jiang Ming asked in shock.
He felt a little numb. He originally wanted to stay away from trouble. Therefore, why did he suddenly rush into such a dangerous place?
The living Saints were supreme, and the dead Saints were equally terrifying. They were definitely not people ordinary cultivators could cross. Once, a Saint's tomb had appeared, and countless cultivators went to plunder it. However, a trace of dead Qi flowed out of the tomb, turning into a ferocious creature that could destroy the world and kill thousands of cultivators.
"Friend, let's discuss how to leave this place!" Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly.
"There is no need to worry too much. Since this place really exists, the legends back then should be true. There shouldn't be any terrifying things like the corpses of saints here, because this entire area can be seen as a place transformed by the great cultivation of Saints. Perhaps we can encounter some unknown opportunities here."
