My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Chapter 231 The Tower of Reincarnation

The three hovered above the River of Gloomy Light, their gazes falling upon countless semi-transparent figures beneath the surface.

Some had ferocious faces, while others struggled to swim upstream but could never surface. These figures struggled again and again, yet remained trapped in the River of Dark Light.

There was no sound of the river flowing.

All sounds are silent.

Looking up, the souls of the dead floated and twisted silently in the river, like stones in the River of Eerie Light, their edges worn away by the rolling water, until they became dull and lifeless.

"Could this be the legendary River of the Underworld?"

"That's not right."

"This river isn't yellow either?"

Jia Meiqian kept his voice extremely low, afraid of disturbing the things in the River of Dark Light.

Gu Qing did not answer.

The blue aura surrounding it continued to shrink, hiding the three of them in a very small space.

Currently.

They were in the shadows, while the enemy was in the open; they couldn't easily reveal their whereabouts.

Just then, Chen Ang suddenly pointed into the distance: "Look over there!"

Following the direction Chen Ang pointed, they saw a middle-aged man mingling among the dead in the River of Ghostly Light.

The spirits around him kept their distance, instinctively fearing something.

Immediately, he maintained his strange posture, facing forward, his head turned 180 degrees, his empty gaze scanning his surroundings, his behavior extremely cautious.

A short while later, the middle-aged man who had come out of Zhenhai City started moving again.

It's neither swimming nor walking.

The middle-aged man remained upright, his feet still, and slid rapidly into the deeper waters of the River of Gloom.

soon.

The person grew farther and farther away in the River of Gloomy Light, and it grew darker and darker until it finally disappeared at the end of the River of Gloomy Light.

"Boss Gu, when did this River of Ghostly Light appear?"

"There is no relevant record in the Xianmu Group's documents."

"Yes."

"The Immortal Wood Group has no record of this. Perhaps, this River of Ghostly Light is the work of that deity."

"This river is filled with the aura of death."

97

"It's not simple at all."

The expressions on Gu Qing's and the other two's faces were somewhat solemn.

They had temporarily lost track of the middle-aged man, but Gu Qing and the other two understood that the key clue had become the river of ghostly light before them.

The three of them concealed themselves within Gu Qing's water-attribute domain, becoming one with the seawater.

Then, they continued to explore along the River of Ghostly Light in the direction where the middle-aged man had disappeared.

Gradually, the three encountered other tributaries of the River of Shadows.

The two tributaries flow side by side, merging into a wider river that continues to flow towards the deep sea.

I don't know how long they've been tracking it on the seabed.

By sensing the surrounding water pressure through the laws of water, Gu Qing discovered that they had now arrived at the seabed tens of thousands of meters deep.

Faced with such pressure, an ordinary metal object in this position would be instantly destroyed by the immense force.

The River of Ghostly Light, which the three were tracking, merged with many tributaries, and its width was several thousand meters.

"There's light ahead!"

"Be careful, everyone, and prepare for battle."

Gu Qing's expression turned serious.

As the distance closed, the light spot in front of them grew larger and brighter.

Gradually.

The crowd could vaguely make out the outline of a city.

As the three approached, they hid in the shadows and carefully examined the city, which was ancient and majestic in style.

In the very center of the city stands the tallest building, a hexagonal tower ten thousand meters high, which, like a pillar stabilizing the sea, is firmly anchored in the depths of the ocean.

The entire city was shrouded in a faint, eerie light.

The sunlight in the sky could not penetrate the tens of thousands of meters of seawater. The only things in the entire underwater world that emitted a faint glow were that strange river and this giant city.

In the center of that 10,000-meter-tall hexagonal tower, there is a plaque with three divine characters flashing on it.

"The Tower of Reincarnation?"

"Such a heavy aura of death!!"

Gu Qing, who possessed demonic blood, and Jia Meiqian, who cultivated the profound mysteries of darkness and shadow, could both sense that there were almost no living creatures in the city ahead.

The dense aura of death, resentment, and other negative energies drives the entire city's operation.

It doesn't resemble a city; it's more like a workshop base. It processes the endless stream of souls converging from the River of Ghostly Light, as well as human cultivators controlled by the Soul-Binding Gu.

Even though the three of them were cultivators, they were still shocked by the lifeless workshop city in front of them.

This guy's a damn fool; he'll stick around until he dies.

These souls are probably not just raw materials, but also the miserable workers of this Souls Workshop.

"Old Gu, do you think people who die will also have to work in the workshop?"

"It's hard to say."

"You know perfectly well that when many corporations in the Immortal Kingdom cultivate spiritual plants in other dimensions, they don't use spiritual plant growers, but rather zombies to do the planting."

"As for the cultivator's soul, that is a precious resource."

"It probably won't be wasted in the workshop, but will instead end up in the Emperor's Banner of some important figure —"

That has to be said.

Both the Celestial Kingdom and the deities fighting against the Celestial Wood Group are highly skilled in utilizing human resources.

If we're being really serious, the gods of the Holy Covenant Temple are probably even more powerful.

"If you don't want to join someone else's Emperor's Banner, then strive to become stronger."

Hidden in the shadows of the deep sea, Gu Qing and his two companions gazed at the city shrouded in a ghostly light, which emanated from the Tower of Reincarnation and extended outwards across the sea.

"Boss Gu, that River of Ghostly Light is constantly sending souls into it. The things they're refining in the city might be valuable."

Chen Ang stared at the souls of the dead, a burning glint in his eyes.

In the cultivation of immortality, the most common resources are natural resources with attributes such as the five elements, wind, and thunder.

Humans are a rather special resource in the cultivation system of immortality.

"hehe."

Gu Qing glanced at Chen Ang and chuckled, "Old Chen, what kind of secret technique are you practicing? Do you need those dead souls?"

"Hmm, just reminding you."

"These souls are all tainted with divine power. The truly top-quality ones are the souls of those who were killed on the spot."

Beyond the Immortal Realm, there are many planes that specialize in this kind of business.

of course.

Gu Qing also has this need.

The True Spirit Nine Transformations technique invested in by the Supreme Mystic Lord requires the comprehension of the nine elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as blood, flesh, bones, and soul—a total of nine profound mysteries.

The fundamental resource for cultivating the profound mysteries of the soul is the soul itself.

"Let's try going underground and see if we can sneak in."

Jia suggested, "I don't have any money."

"Can."

Gu Qing and Chen Ang nodded as well.

Then.

The three landed on the seabed, and the light from the domain beneath Gu Qing's feet changed from blue to brownish-yellow.

The soil beneath their feet split open like seawater, and the three of them burrowed into the ground like eels.

"Bang!"

As Gu Qing and his two companions were sneaking towards the city, they felt the earth and rocks in front of them become as hard as metal, making their heads buzz.

"A barrier array?"

The three exchanged a glance, all feeling somewhat helpless. The enemy wasn't stupid; they wouldn't leave such a fatal flaw.

If they try to force their way in, the enemies in the city above will probably spot the three of them immediately.

"Let me do it!"

Chen Ang suddenly spoke up.
