Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 176 Infiltration

eternal life.

Napoleon Bonaparte said a lot, but what was revealed between the lines was actually the pursuit and desire for eternal life.

He wants to contain the uniqueness of the "Abyss" again and become the god of the Abyss Path.

Hermione did not respond to Napoleon's passionate words. From the beginning of her extraordinary journey, her unwavering pursuit was absolute freedom for herself.

The same is true for Amanisis.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they are calm.

But this wave is not the kind of powerlessness and confusion when facing the evil of human nature.

Rather, it is because of the resolute pursuit of power aroused by the recollection of similar experiences when they were weak that they have been pursuing the powerful force that is enough to dominate their own destiny.

Being weak is not a sin, but it brings disaster.

Just like the Earth that is now surrounded by the Old Ones.

Hermione did not choose humans because of the brilliance of human nature, and she certainly would not abandon humans because of the evil of human nature. The reason she chose humans as the cornerstone of her faith was simply because she was a human being.

Grisha, who has become an intelligent computer, tirelessly handles countless complicated and trivial affairs belonging to mankind every day.

Regarding Napoleon's words, He truly remained calm and unperturbed.

If Grisha were to become lost and perplexed by the evil of human nature, he would have collapsed the moment he became an intelligent computer and began to deeply intervene in the operation of human society.

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

He will not easily convict a human being for so-called “evil thoughts,” but He will judge all “crimes” in a fair and majestic manner.

In the darkness where the uniqueness of the "abyss" gathers, Hermione finds the uniqueness of the "abyss" revealed.

An irresistible attraction surged from deep within her heart.

She had felt the same attraction towards the unique people in all five families.

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

Moreover, because Hermione is now using the extraordinary characteristics of the "Filthy King" as a medium to possess Zhou Mi, a recipient of the Shadow World in the Western Continent, she has a deeper connection with the "Shadow World" and the dual paths of "Abyss" and "The Bound".

Around them, Napolidisli's restless emotions spread like a diffuse mist. However, Hermione paid no attention to it. She slowly reached out her hand, and her fair palm grasped the uniqueness of the Abyss.

At this moment, a sudden realization flooded her mind.

She clearly realized that she could now use the abyss as a springboard to fully exert the status of the source of the "Chaos Sea" and infiltrate the power of the "Chaos Sea" into the Western Continent that was blocked by Tianzun!
It was as if the source energy from the Western Continent was seeping in.

She can do exactly the same thing with the help of the Abyss.

However, Hermione also clearly understood that the difficulty she faced was far greater than those source elements in the Western Continent.

Because outside the Tianzun barrier, there are high-sequence characteristics that carry the power of the source of the Western Continent, such as "Hidden Sage", "Goddess of Beauty", "Ancestor of the Blood Clan", "Ancestor of the Phoenix"...

These are either sequence-specific properties or higher-order path-specific properties.

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

This inference that had once existed in her heart was confirmed after Hermione held the uniqueness of "The Abyss" in her hands.

However, with Zhou Mu's presence, Hermione was able to sense, influence, and infiltrate the power of the "Chaos Sea" into the lower-sequence Beyonder Characteristics of the Five Families near Zhou Mu. Now, Hermione sensed a Beyonder Characteristic of a relatively low level in the Beast Mountain where Zhou Mu was staying.

……

Beast Mountain.

On the winding mountain road, on a horse, Aya was wearing a light-colored dress, her posture was elegant yet revealing a hint of fragility.

"I've heard that there are immortals in the mountains, and that becoming an immortal can lead to eternal life... I wonder if Mei'er learned of these rumors during her travels?"

Aya, riding on a horse, kept pace with Zhou Mu at a moderate pace. She had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes revealed her yearning and curiosity for immortality.

"No." Zhou Mu answered concisely.

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

Especially after receiving the Taoist ordination, her horizons were greatly broadened, and she knew that there was indeed such a thing as increasing one's lifespan in this world.

But even the "Masters of the Dark House" from generation to generation will eventually become one with the Tao.

Therefore, in Zhou Mu's view, there is a limit to the lifespan extension in this world. Longevity is not easily obtained, and eternal life is like an illusory dream, which is just false.

"That's such a pity..." Aya showed a trace of regret on her face and smiled softly:
"Perhaps it's because I'm weak and sickly, having suffered from illness since childhood, that makes me more yearning and curious about immortality."

"I was also fortunate enough to be cared for by a Taoist priest and was taught the method of nourishing Qi. I thought I could use this to strengthen my body and embark on the path of cultivation."

"But later on, I was attacked by an evil spirit, which caused all my previous efforts in cultivation to be wasted. As a last resort, I could only seek help from external things."

There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in Aya's words.

Zhou Mu listened quietly, without saying a word, just nodded slightly.

Among them, the martial arts masters who were recruited by Aya and her daughter began to say words like "Miss Aya, you should always strive for self-improvement", and their voices echoed in the mountains and forests.

With the support of Aya and her daughter, their group was equipped with fine horses.

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

Hermione confirmed that among these people, apart from Aya herself, there was no one else who had received the ordination, including the so-called wealthy businessman father of Aya.

However, Hermione was unable to confirm what the ordained ruler of Aya, the "City of Disaster", had planned by gathering so many people from the martial arts world.

But they are nothing more than exploratory pawns, witchcraft sacrifices and so on.

And that treasure has changed hands many times since it came into the world. According to the latest information, it is now lost in the Beast Mountain.

At this moment, Aya's wealthy father was sharing information about the treasure. His voice was steady and capable, like the lingering breath of a martial artist:
"Rumor has it that the treasure is a nine-inch square yin-yang fish-shaped jade bi."

"When this jade disk is exposed to the sun, a three-inch tall Nascent Soul shadow will appear at the jade core, and that shadow will dispel all impurities the moment it appears."

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

"If you find anything, please be careful. This treasure must contain dangers and secrets that we are unaware of."

This wealthy businessman who calls himself "Xian Weng" appears to be kind-hearted, but these old hands are actually skeptical.

As Zhou Wei drew closer to the treasure, Hermione discovered she was able to contaminate the object with the power of the Chaos Sea...
