Chapter 1103 The secrets hidden in the North Sea are far more numerous than imagined.
Su Mingyi's heart tightened, and he could no longer care about anything else, so he flew directly towards Su Xiaoya.
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng also noticed Su Mingyi's sudden appearance immediately, and both of them looked at Su Mingyi at the same time.
Su Xiaoya, in particular, is now terrified of the North Sea—first, Yu Shuheng was inexplicably teleported away in the North Sea Secret Realm, and then Su Mingyi was inexplicably teleported away in the Nine-Headed Insect Sealed Space…
So, is this a nesting doll game?
The North Sea Secret Realm, the Nine-Headed Insect Sealed Space—what comes next?
Moreover, what could be the reason for Yu Shuheng's inexplicable disappearance of life?
Why is it useless to me?
Is it because he has reached an extremely high level in cultivating the Great Dao of Time, the Great Dao of Space, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation?
However, why was it useless against Su Mingyi as well? Su Mingyi's cultivation level, which had broken through to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, was completely exposed.
Ugh!
depressed.
Su Xiaoya really couldn't understand why this inexplicable teleportation would occur every time, and why the person being teleported was different each time.
Yu Shuheng remained silent, his heart also filled with doubt. What puzzled him even more was that the reason for the disappearance of life force within him remained unknown. The feeling of life force fading away was extremely strange; it wasn't due to an enemy attack, nor was it a mistake in his cultivation, but rather it vanished for no reason, as if it had been plundered by some invisible force.
Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya always spoke their minds directly, so he immediately asked the question that puzzled him: "Why is this power useless to you, Xiaoya?" Yu Shuheng looked at Su Xiaoya, his eyes full of confusion, "Is it because you have reached an extremely high level in cultivating the Great Dao of Time, the Great Dao of Space, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation?"
Yu Shuheng knew that Su Xiaoya's talent was extraordinary. At such a young age, she had already achieved something in the three supreme paths. Perhaps it was because of this that she was immune to that strange life force plundering.
But what about Su Mingyi? Why is this strange, invisible force also ineffective against Su Mingyi?
Until this problem is clarified, the three of them cannot be truly safe!
At this moment, Su Mingyi's pale purple figure sped over from afar like a shooting star and appeared in front of the two of them in an instant.
"Big brother!" Su Xiaoya was the first to react, her serious expression instantly fading away. "You're finally back! Where did you go? You scared me to death!"
Su Mingyi reached out and ruffled Su Xiaoya's hair, his eyes full of tenderness: "I'm sorry for making you worry. I just went to another place for no reason."
After giving a brief explanation, Su Mingyi's gaze immediately fell on Yu Shuheng, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He could clearly sense that Yu Shuheng's aura was much weaker than before, and his vitality was also somewhat depleted. Although it wasn't serious, this inexplicable loss of vitality seemed so much like something that the "Scripture of Nirvana" had devoured.
Su Mingyi couldn't help but turn around, uh!
The space that sealed the 'Eternal Silence Crystal' has disappeared!
Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya were also sizing up Su Mingyi, their eyes quickly drawn to the powerful aura emanating from him.
The peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm!
This aura of cultivation was like a majestic mountain, profound and powerful, far exceeding their expectations.
Previously, Su Mingyi was at the peak of the Great Perfection of Earth Immortal, but in just a short while, he broke through to the peak of the Great Perfection of Heaven Immortal, crossing an entire major realm!
"Big brother, your cultivation level..." Su Xiaoya's eyes widened in disbelief, "You've broken through to the peak of the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm?"
Yu Shuheng was also shocked. He could clearly feel the unfathomable power emanating from Su Mingyi, which was more than a hundred times stronger than before. This speed of breakthrough was simply heaven-defying!
It really is true that different people have different fates!
Not right either.
After transmigrating, he was no longer human!
Even a 100,000-year-old Jianmu tree is still a tree spirit. Even if it successfully transforms into human form, it is still essentially a tree!
Yu Shuheng felt a pang of sadness at this moment.
Su Mingyi nodded slightly, but the joy on his face was as thin as a veil, barely perceptible: "I suppose so, but this breakthrough is a bit special."
He then briefly mentioned the "Eternal Silence Crystal" and the Ancestor of Annihilation, but buried the details of his near-loss of self deep in his heart, not wanting the two of them to worry like he did.
After listening to Su Mingyi's account, Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya's expressions turned as solemn as leaden clouds.
"A forbidden technique that plunders the life force of others? The annihilating aura of the Chaos Core?" Yu Shuheng murmured, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind, "Mingyi, do you think the reason for the disappearance of life force in my body could be related to this Ancestor of Annihilation?"
Su Mingyi's heart skipped a beat, and he stared thoughtfully at Yu Shuheng. This coincided with his own guess: "You mean, your life force was devoured by the power of annihilation?"
Yu Shuheng nodded slightly: "Very likely. The feeling of life slipping away like sand in an hourglass is exactly the same as the characteristics of the power of annihilation you described. Both are plundering without people noticing, and they are unstoppable."
Su Mingyi frowned, lost in thought.
This speculation is very likely true.
After all, the space that seals the Eternal Silence Crystal is inside the Nine-Headed Insect's sealing space—a seal within a seal.
Uh!
Su Mingyi was also dizzy.
Because within the annihilation space that seals the Eternal Silence Crystal, there is another seal—the seal of the black light spot, which is the Chaos Core.
If that's the case, then the matter becomes even more perplexing. The remnant soul of the Ancestor of Annihilation has long been sealed within the 'Eternal Silence Crystal,' so how could the power of Annihilation have escaped and plundered Yu Shuheng's life force?
Moreover, why did this power have no effect on Su Xiaoya and only cause her a momentary disturbance, but cause real harm to Yu Shuheng?
"Could it be because of the difference in cultivation level?" Su Mingyi wondered to himself.
Su Xiaoya's cultivation level is higher than mine, and she controls three supreme Daos with pure Daoist charm, so it's reasonable that she can be immune to the erosion of the power of annihilation.
He himself was able to resolve the crisis by relying on the Primordial Chaos Qi and the 'Illusory Cloud True Self';
However, Yu Shuheng's cultivation level is also higher than mine, but compared to the Dao of Nirvana, it should be slightly inferior, which is why he was affected.
Or perhaps, it's Yu Shuheng's vibrant vitality?
After all, life and death are relative concepts.
If I hadn't cultivated the "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique," I probably would have ended up like Yu Shuheng, or even worse.
However, this guess cannot fully explain all the questions.
If it is indeed the power of annihilation at work, then where does this power originate? The remnant soul within the 'Eternal Silence Crystal' is probably not enough to affect others outside the sealed space.
Even adding the 'Chaotic Core' didn't work!
“It seems that the secrets hidden in this land of Beihai are far more numerous than we imagined,” Su Mingyi said with a solemn expression. “Not only are there inexplicable spatial teleportations, but there is also a strange power of annihilation that plunders life force. There must be a dark hand controlling all of this behind the scenes.” Yu Shuheng nodded in deep agreement: “I’m afraid none of this is a coincidence.”
Su Xiaoya clenched her fists, a flash of anger in her eyes: "No matter who's behind this, we must find out! They dared to hurt Shuheng and even tried to scheme against my brother—we absolutely cannot let them get away with it!" Su Mingyi felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at their determined eyes. He knew the road ahead would be anything but smooth; the strange events in the North Sea were relentless, undoubtedly concealing a great crisis.
“Alright, let’s investigate together,” Su Mingyi said in a deep voice. “But before that, let me help you stabilize your injuries and restore your lost vitality.”
Su Mingyi stretched out his hand, and a wisp of light purple spiritual energy flowed slowly into Yu Shuheng's body like a gentle stream, carrying with it a warm vitality and the cyclical Dao rhythm of the "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique".
As the spiritual energy entered his body, Yu Shuheng felt a warm current sweep over his entire body like a surging wave. His previously weak aura quickly recovered like seedlings receiving rain after a long drought, and the life force lost in his body was gradually replenished like a dried-up river. The feeling of emptiness that had been plundered gradually receded like the tide.
Unexpectedly, the effects of Su Mingyi's cultivation of the "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique" were several times better than the innate Ren Water Peach given to him by Xiao Ya. In a short while, the aftereffects of his loss of life force were eliminated.
After all, the innate Ren water peach only replenishes vitality; to be precise, it is more about prolonging life and increasing lifespan.
Therefore, vitality and lifespan are different.
Vitality is like a torrent from the source of life, representing the power of the origin of life, the rapid recovery, and the surging of creative energy.
Those with abundant vitality heal their injuries as quickly as a spring breeze, and their energy is like an inexhaustible treasure, capable of nourishing all things and giving them renewed vitality.
However, it may gradually diminish due to severe damage to its origin, depletion of its soul, or erosion by a conceptual curse.
Lifespan is like an intuitive and trade-oriented countdown hourglass; it can be passively consumed (such as passing away naturally), actively borrowed in advance (such as using forbidden techniques), or ruthlessly deprived and plundered (such as the rampant spread of evil arts). However, as long as one possesses sufficient vitality, it is possible to earn more lifespan.
For example, "Overdrawing one's vitality in exchange for a longer life."
A powerful being might burn their very essence (vital energy) and unleash a forbidden technique, their hair turning as white as snow in an instant, but in return, they would only gain a mere few years of lifespan.
This undoubtedly highlights the preciousness of life, like a rare treasure, and its irreversibility, like water bursting its banks, which cannot be recovered.
For example, "Nourish your vital energy with longevity".
Some demonic arts are like greedy demons, devouring the lifespan of others. Only after a long process of refinement can they be transformed into a trace of pure vitality, like an oasis in the desert, which is difficult to make up for the depletion of one's own origin.
The process is so inefficient, like a snail crawling, and the hidden dangers are as great as a volcanic eruption, making it awe-inspiring.
This shows just how precious the "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique" that Su Mingyi cultivates is.
Indeed, it's always best to "treat the symptoms" when it comes to everything!
"Thank you, Mingyi." Yu Shuheng said with a beaming smile. They finally had another partner to fight alongside.
I believe that, as time goes by, more and more partners will emerge and grow.
Su Mingyi waved his hand gently, his gaze, sharp as a hawk's, once again fixed on the depths of the sealed space, a glint of sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He could clearly sense that a more powerful force was hidden deeper within this sealed space, and perhaps that was the key to unraveling all the mysteries.
Although the remnant soul of the Ancestor of Annihilation within the 'Eternal Silence Crystal' has been temporarily suppressed to the point of being as powerless as a flower ravaged by a storm, it remains a huge hidden danger.
To completely resolve this hidden danger, it may be necessary to find the origin of the Chaos Core and cut off the source of the power of annihilation from the root, just like cutting off the wings of a demon so that it can no longer cause trouble.
Su Mingyi no longer believes that what is sealed in the 'Eternal Silence Crystal' is not the real 'Chaos Silence Core', or that it is just a fragment of the 'Chaos Silence Core'.
Otherwise, Su Mingyi didn't believe he could handle the 'Chaotic Core' on his own. Didn't he see that Yu Shuheng, far more powerful than him, had inexplicably failed?
"Next, let's explore the depths of this sealed space and see if we can find any clues," Su Mingyi said decisively. "At the same time, I also need to find a way to completely refine that 'Eternal Silence Crystal' and eliminate the hidden dangers within my body."
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng replied in unison, "Okay!"
The three stood side by side, like three majestic mountain peaks, heading towards the depths of the sealed space.
The road ahead remains fraught with unknowns and dangers—the eerie teleportation in the North Sea, the mystery of Yu Shuheng's disappearance, the remnant soul of the Ancestor of Annihilation, the secrets of the Chaos Core…
More importantly, the key and map to this secret realm of the North Sea were obtained from the evil god.
Based on this alone, the three of them cannot afford to be careless.
All the clues, like spider silk, point to a huge conspiracy, and they are about to unveil the mystery of this conspiracy step by step, like brave explorers, and face the truth behind it.
Su Mingyi could feel that with the awakening of the 'Illusory Cloud True Self', his understanding of the Great Dao was becoming more and more profound, and his cultivation at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Great Perfection was gradually stabilizing.
Although this breakthrough was accompanied by a huge crisis, it also deepened his understanding of "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique".
He knew that the true path to freedom was not about having everything go smoothly, but about staying true to oneself and finding one's own way in the cycle of heaven and earth after experiencing hardships and crises.
The various adventures and crises in this land of Beihai may be the only way for him to reach a higher realm.
