Golden Shovel Survival: One Lucky Star and One Colorful Hex

Chapter 252 Void Spiritual Body

Guided by Li Qing's spiritual entity, Mo Lang's spiritual entity also traversed the spiritual world.

Looking up, the sky presented a deep and mysterious purplish-blue color, like a huge gemstone, with wisps of golden light flowing through it, just like the Milky Way hanging upside down, each ray of light containing an indescribable ancient aura.

These lights sometimes intertwined and entwined, and sometimes scattered and drifted. The ground was not solid earth, but a dreamlike cloud of mist. The mist was a light emerald color and flowed slowly. When Mo Lang's spiritual body stepped on it, it felt slightly elastic, as if the mist itself had a life of its own.

What is particularly striking is that, seemingly at the very center of the spiritual world, several enormous spirit trees rise from the ground. Their trunks are incredibly thick, and their surfaces are covered with strange runes that emit a soft light that echoes the golden radiance in the sky.

The spirit tree has extremely lush foliage, with translucent leaves that seem to contain glittering starlight. Whenever a breeze blows, the leaves collide with each other, producing a crisp and melodious sound, like a beautiful piece of music.

Even from a great distance, Mo Lang could hear it, as if it didn't travel through the air but reached his very soul, making him feel calm and peaceful involuntarily.

"That's the spirit tree of the spiritual world, which can be used for prayer and calming the mind. That's why the souls wandering in the spiritual world haven't rebelled," Li Qing explained, following Mo Lang's gaze.

Further on, Mo Lang saw another rushing river, its water a crystal-clear white, like flowing moonlight.

Many small fish, emitting a faint glow, leaped on the river surface, leaving colorful trails in their wake, as if painting a magnificent picture on the water.

On the opposite bank of the river stood an ancient temple. The temple's architectural style was simple and solemn, and its walls were covered with various mysterious patterns, including soaring dragons, lifelike mythical beasts, and strange symbols that Mo Lang had never seen before. Under the light, these patterns seemed to come alive, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"Could this be the River of Oblivion?" Mo Lang couldn't help but ask.

"That's right. This river leads to the spirit world. Legend has it that if a soul drinks the water of the River of Oblivion in the spirit world, it will forget its past life and be able to be reincarnated."

Li Qing nodded and looked at the illusory temple, saying, "That temple is called the Spirit Temple, used to suppress those evil spirits. The fish in the River of Oblivion are the purified evil spirits. It is said that they can only be reincarnated after the River of Oblivion has cleansed the 'evil' from their spirits."

Along the way, Mo Lang also noticed that some illusory figures occasionally floated by in the air. Some of these figures were blurry, while others were slightly clearer. They were either strolling, deep in thought, or talking to each other, but without exception, they all exuded a peaceful and serene aura.

Li Qing's spirit told Mo Lang that these were the spiritual imprints left by powerful cultivators who had once cultivated here. Although they had passed away, their spirits remained forever in this spiritual world.

As he ventured deeper, Mo Lang felt the grandeur and mystery of this spiritual world more and more. Every scene amazed him, filling him with even more curiosity and awe for this unknown realm.

Mo Lang didn't know how long he had been walking when he suddenly sensed an evil aura. He looked up and saw a bizarre, black world appear before him in the distance.

Even though they were thousands of meters apart, Mo Lang could still see clearly that there were many things that looked like black mist wandering around. However, there was a transparent barrier between the two worlds, which separated them like a chasm.

Li Qing stopped and said, "Boss, that is the Void Spirit World. Some of those black mists are the spiritual entities of the Void Spirit World, while others are the undead from this place that accidentally crossed over and were corrupted into that form."

We call them Void Spirits.

"We can easily pass through, but the other side can't?" Mo Lang asked curiously.

“That’s true.” Li Qing said with a serious expression, “However, when you go there or come back, there will definitely be a gap, and that gap will give the Void Spirit a chance to take advantage.”

"Therefore, we need to choose a place with few or no void spirits to cross over."

"However, there are very few powerful void spirits at the boundary between the two realms. Our strength is more than enough to deal with any situation. The only thing I need to make clear to you is that the spiritual power of void spirits is not pure, and there is very little spiritual power that we can absorb."

"Moreover, if you want to return, you have to completely dissolve the absorbed void spirit body, so very few people are willing to take this risk."

“But you are different, boss. You have mastered the power of the void. You might be able to easily dissolve this void spirit body, thereby greatly enhancing your spiritual power.”

“That’s something we can try, to see if I’ll be able to erode my spirit by the void once I’ve mastered its power.” Mo Lang nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

After all, he's a man destined to penetrate the void.

If my Void Power can clear away those negative emotions this time, then I will be able to do the same when I enter the Void.

Then you won't feel too weak.

Soon, Mo Lang and Li Qing arrived directly in front of the barrier. However, the closer they got, the more Mo Lang could feel the immense size of the barrier, which seemed to divide the two worlds in two like a canopy.

Mo Lang and Li Qing stood before this barrier, feeling like mere specks in the ocean, truly like mayflies seeing the blue sky.

Similarly, the void spirit entity on the other side, that is, the black mist, was larger than Mo Lang had imagined. Although there were not many of them, each one seemed to contain some kind of primordial beast. Just seeing it through the light barrier made him feel uneasy and apprehensive.

More importantly, this light barrier does not seem to be able to completely isolate the void spirit on the other side.

Mo Lang approached and discovered that black mist was constantly seeping into the surface of the light barrier, but it quickly dissipated, or rather, it was purified.

However, Mo Lang could still feel the power of the void constantly eroding his spiritual body. Of course, as long as he exerted force, this insignificant power of the void would be shattered directly.

"Could it be that those ordinary souls were corrupted by the penetrating void power because they got close to this place?" Mo Lang speculated, looking at the enormous light barrier that resembled a sky curtain.

“Boss, you guessed right. That’s why very few souls come here, because they can also sense the danger. However, many curious souls still try to come and take a look, hoping to get away with it, but they end up being corrupted and devoured,” Li Qing said from the side.

"Then I'll try to see if I can use my own void power to absorb this void power."

As Mo Lang spoke, he stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, and slowly pressed them against the light screen.
