20demayo Chapter 350 Crossing the Sea of Bitterness
Chapter 350 Crossing the Sea of Bitterness
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Jin Zhennan of the Golden Crow Clan emerged from his clan's territory, surrounded by senior experts, kings, and other powerful figures of the Golden Crow Clan, creating a grand spectacle that attracted the attention of the entire city.
Even other god-king forces, such as the Mo Clan, Cangxuan Mountain, and Shenlong Abyss, sent people to come.
Even the God Emperor "Nine Heavens," who commands the "Heavenly Realm," sent an envoy to observe the ceremony.
--The Divine Realm is divided into three major realms: the Celestial Realm, the Earthly Pivot Realm, and the Human Origin Realm, each ruled by a different Divine Emperor. The Golden Crow Clan resides within the Celestial Realm.
During the great battle in the Devil's Plains of the Big Dipper Starfield in the mortal realm, it was the Nine Heavens God Emperor who stepped in to block Chi You's final, all-encompassing military might!
"Even the Divine Court has sent people here. It seems that this time, Jin Zhennan of the Golden Crow Clan is really going to succeed!"
"The Golden Crow Clan has been preparing for this for a long time. If they can really get through the Samsara Palace, their status will probably rise dramatically, and even the God Emperor will have to treat them with respect!"
Can Jin Zhennan really succeed?
It's a hot topic of discussion!
……
Above the city of Neverfall, a vast plume of yellow smoke appeared from nowhere, seemingly ethereal yet incredibly real, and within it, a path appeared faintly.
That's the cycle of reincarnation!
Whenever the Samsara Palace appears, the Samsara Path will appear along with it, and eighty-one vast immortal cities of the three divine realms will be open to all cultivators to explore.
But throughout history, only a handful of people have succeeded.
Today, Jin Zhennan has already walked up to the high platform in the center of the city. He is dressed in a golden robe and has a handsome and refined appearance, like a divine son.
"Zhennan, from this day forward, your name will be etched in the annals of cultivation throughout the entire Divine Realm!"
Jin Ruohong was incredibly excited, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"To bring ten thousand years of glory to our people!"
The Supreme Elder Jin Tianchi also solemnly instructed, "Both God-Kings are watching you!"
Yaogu God King's essence was depleted, and he had also experienced the battle of the Devil's Plain, so Randao God King was also protecting him and helping him recover. He was unable to spare any attention, but Jin Tianchi knew that the two God Kings would definitely pay attention to such an important matter.
Even king-level beings from other races might take notice!
Today's challenge is one of victory only, defeat is not an option.
"Don't worry, Father!"
Jin Zhennan, full of confidence, stepped forward, looked at the yellow smoke above the Undying City, and said loudly, "Jin Zhennan of the Golden Crow Clan has come to challenge the trial!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and headed directly towards the yellow smoke above.
"go!"
"Keep up, let's get through this together!"
"Fight for a path, seek eternity!"
Behind him, thousands of young cultivators followed in an instant!
They were all basically geniuses.
The Hall of Reincarnation represents eternity and a transcendent power that surpasses even God-Kings and God-Emperors. It is the greatest opportunity in the Divine Realm, appearing only once every 100,000 years.
Therefore, such an opportunity will never lack cultivators with great courage to risk their lives for it!
Under the watchful eyes of the world, Jin Zhennan was the first to disappear into the yellow smoke.
At that moment, the scene within the yellow smoke suddenly changed!
"Roar……"
"Ow..."
Suddenly, a vast ocean appeared amidst the yellow smoke, its waters overflowing with yellow liquid. Countless white bones lay scattered about, and wronged souls wandered within it, while evil spirits hovered around it!
"sea of bitterness!"
"The legendary Sea of Suffering, which exists only in the cycle of reincarnation... Does the Palace of Reincarnation truly control reincarnation?"
"That's amazing!"
The world gasped in astonishment.
Jin Zhennan and his tens of thousands of followers all fell directly into that sea of suffering.
As soon as they fell in, countless shrill screams rang out.
"what!"
"No, go away, don't eat me, don't eat me, ah..."
"Get out of here... Why is my magic not working? Why!"
Countless talented cultivators were in a miserable state at this moment. After falling into the sea of suffering, their magical artifacts and cultivation levels were rendered useless. They could only struggle in the yellow sea of suffering like ordinary people. The key thing was that the evil spirits and vengeful souls floating in it were like zombies that had seen blood, rushing towards them madly.
They bit directly at them, as if they wanted to devour them.
"This is the first trial in the cycle of reincarnation... a struggle to cross the sea of suffering!"
The Golden Crow Clan's Supreme Elder, Jin Tianchi, spoke solemnly: "The information given by that lord is correct. The Sea of Bitterness alone can stop everyone. The Sea of Bitterness is boundless, and there is no way to cross it by oneself. Only those with truly great courage, who have even seen through life and death and transcended suffering, have a sliver of hope to cross the Sea of Bitterness..."
"Fortunately, during the trip to the mortal realm, the Radiant God King refined enough mortal energy for Zhennan!"
He looked on with a heavy heart and saw that while everyone else was struggling in the sea of suffering and could hardly move forward, Jin Zhennan was swimming swiftly!
There were also some evil spirits and vengeful ghosts around him, but they were few in number, and they were all blocked by some force, unable to directly bite his soul!
Back then, the Burning Dao God King had a connection with an important figure in the Samsara Palace. Moreover, the Golden Crow Clan agreed to exchange the Mortal Scripture for the information about the Samsara System and made targeted preparations in advance. Now it seems that the information has indeed come in handy!
"Jin Zhennan is too fast!"
"Why? How can he be immune to evil spirits?"
"That's amazing!"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Our clan's genius, just like that, is dead?!"
"My son, why are you doing this? You're killing your father with grief!"
"Has my clan's pride been reduced to a vengeful ghost in a sea of suffering?"
Many people are crying out in pain at this moment because a large number of geniuses are falling. They cannot withstand the devouring of vengeful ghosts and evil spirits. In the end, their wills collapse and they lose themselves. In the blink of an eye, they have become a skeleton in the sea of suffering. Their own consciousness and soul have even become part of the evil spirits!
In reality, the evil spirits and vengeful ghosts in the sea of suffering did not cause any real damage to these geniuses. Their bodies were unharmed; their attacks were directed at their souls!
These geniuses are blinded by evil spirits and other supernatural forces, witnessing the deepest terrors within their own hearts and experiencing the most profound pain from the depths of their souls. If they cannot endure it, they will immediately succumb to it.
"The sea of suffering is so difficult that throughout history, only two people have been able to cross the cycle of reincarnation..."
"This path is not for ordinary people. Even the most outstanding talents are nothing more than ants before the sea of suffering."
"I shouldn't have gone, I shouldn't have gone!"
Many people are expressing their deep regret and sighs for the older generation.
The sea of suffering is terrifying.
"The Golden Crow clan has found a way to get through the Sea of Bitterness..."
However, the envoys sent by some of the god-kings were all extremely solemn at this moment.
They could all see that Jin Zhennan must have made some kind of preparation, which was why he was able to be so relaxed in the sea of suffering!
"Hmm, besides Jin Zhennan, there are four others who are also moving forward through sheer willpower, which is quite remarkable!"
Meanwhile, some people have also noticed the other survivors.
At this moment, behind Jin Zhennan, there were four other cultivators also struggling to cross the river, but their progress was very slow due to the large number of vengeful spirits around them.
A woman with an extremely ugly appearance.
A ragged ascetic.
There was also an elderly man with white hair and beard who was blind.
And an unremarkable middle-aged man.
"I know that woman. She was once a saintess of a small or medium-sized power. However, her power was destroyed, and she was enslaved and humiliated for decades because of her beauty. When she found an opportunity to leave, she personally destroyed her own face, lay low for more than a hundred years, and poisoned all her enemies. Her will is unbreakable!"
“That ascetic came from the Brahma school. Such people have an amazing will and practice diligently. They use suffering to temper themselves, so it’s normal that they can endure it.”
"That old man with white hair and beard and blind eyes was the sect leader of the Soul Refining Sect. This man was extremely vicious. In order to cultivate, he refined all the people in his own sect. He was too familiar with vengeful spirits and the like. Coupled with his vicious Dao heart, he was able to survive..."
Many people were surprised and spoke up.
But no one could tell where that unremarkable middle-aged man came from.
"The divine realm is too vast, and there are many talented and extraordinary people. It's normal not to know them."
"These four are quite remarkable, but this is only the first hurdle. The second hurdle is the real test of life and death!"
"Their chances are slim; it mainly depends on Jin Zhennan..."
Everyone started to speak.
"This sea of suffering is nothing more than this..."
At this moment, the middle-aged man who was struggling to cross the river behind Jin Zhennan couldn't help but whisper!
This person is none other than Li Lan!
He concealed his presence and blended in after disguising himself.
Too many people have entered the cycle of reincarnation today, so he went unnoticed and undiscovered.
At this moment, he was experiencing this sea of suffering, but he was somewhat speechless.
Compared to the sea of suffering he himself had endured in his own cycle of reincarnation, the sea of suffering here was utterly insignificant.
These vengeful spirits and evil spirits are, after all, tainted with the aura of reincarnation, and thus impossible for ordinary cultivators to resist, but to him, they are as if they were nothing.
Li Lan had a feeling that if he were to draw a drop of water from his own sea of suffering in reincarnation and drop it here, the sea of suffering here would undergo a qualitative change!
"The cycle of reincarnation controlled by the Samsara Palace... may not be that powerful."
He made his assessment.
Throughout history, reincarnation has always been a focus of research for all parties. He even saw the relics of reincarnation on Mount Tai of the Imperial Star.
It's not surprising that someone created reincarnation within the realm of gods.
However, upon seeing the sea of suffering here, he became even more convinced that the other party's control over reincarnation was certainly not as complete or powerful as his own.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder: if the Samsara Palace's Samsara was not as powerful as his Samsara, it meant that the "person" who created his Samsara must be even more powerful than the Samsara Palace.
Who exactly was that person, and where did he go?
Li Lan has now traveled all over the mortal realm and even reached the divine realm, but he has not found any trace of that person, nor has he heard of him even from Sister Cat or the Big Black Dog.
Where did they go?
These thoughts flashed through his mind.
And this moment.
Ahead, Jin Zhennan had reached the edge of the Sea of Bitterness, and he would be the first to cross it.
Under the watchful eyes of the world, Jin Zhennan crawled out of the sea of suffering, and at his edge, a long black and white staircase had appeared...
