Chapter 712 (2/2)

“If you were to say it’s a city of strange phenomena, that would be somewhat more fitting.”

“The Soul Tomb is mostly invisible most of the time,”

“No one knows where it is.”

“But as soon as it appears, it’s very obvious.”

“When the Soul Tomb emerges, multicolored glows rise around the sea region, dying the fog within the sea into shades of multicolor.”

“As the multicolored glow becomes increasingly evident, the massive and bizarre Soul Tomb slowly reveals itself to human eyes.”

“If there are cultivators too close to the Soul Tomb during this time, when the city gates open wide with the tomb’s emergence, those cultivators will walk into the city like they’ve lost their souls.”

“Moreover, there are no living people in the Soul Tomb, but there are monsters similar to the living dead.”

“These monsters are the cultivators who previously got lost in the Soul Tomb.”

“Their attire hasn’t changed much from when they were alive, but their eyes are vacant, and they wander in queues throughout the Soul Tomb, as if patrolling.”

“At this time, if someone forcibly enters the Soul Tomb, these cultivators turned walking corpses will initiate an attack on the intruders.”

“Of course.”

“The cultivators that can provoke an attack from these walking corpses are already quite extraordinary.”

“It seems the Soul Tomb can devour one’s soul spirit; if they were ordinary cultivators, they would likely lose their souls before even getting close, walking towards the Soul Tomb like the walking dead, to finally join the patrolling ranks and become one of them.”

“Therefore, few people dare to approach the Soul Tomb voluntarily.”

Having finished, Changyun Yuanlei paused for a moment, and then continued:

“Additionally, as far as I know, there’s a rumor about the Soul Tomb.”

“The rumor states that in Seaheart Island, the Seaheart Duo isn’t the strongest.

There was a Tribulation Stage cultivator, and only beneath him were the Seaheart Duo.”

“That bandit cultivator was also swept here by the mysterious sea fog by accident.”

“Though swept into the Sea of Strange, he never gave up and kept searching for a way to leave.”

“After decades of searching and investigation, he finally found a method to leave—using a certain token to depart from within the Soul Tomb.”

“Whenever the Soul Tomb appears, it is accompanied by five towering beams of light, each a different color.

After his continuous observation and gathered information,”

“He confirmed that these five differently colored pillars were the teleportation array that could lead out of the Sea of Strange.”

“Though aware of the teleportation array’s existence, there was still a complicated issue: the position of those five pillars was within the Soul Tomb.”

“And the Soul Tomb was extremely dangerous.”

“Furthermore, that Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator didn’t have the token needed to leave, so naturally, he didn’t dare to act rashly.”

“Instead, he spent decades observing from an island not far from the Soul Tomb.”

“Finally, after decades of observation, when he thought himself fully prepared, he decided to take on the challenge of the Soul Tomb.”

“Yet, even with his Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation, he still couldn’t get through the Soul Tomb and remained there forever.”

“With this lesson from the past, the already terrifying Soul Tomb became even more infamous.”

“Since then…”

“No one has dared to enter the Soul Tomb lightly.”

…

…

Lin Jing, after hearing this, couldn’t help but look towards Changyun Yuanlei.

This Changyun Yuanlei seemed to know a lot.

He even knew the details of the rumored events very clearly.

Thus,

Lin Jing directly asked Changyun Yuanlei:

“How do you know about this so clearly?”

Upon hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei immediately showed a bitter expression:

“This is my psychological shadow; how can I not be clear about it?”

“Big brother, you don’t understand…”

“When I was swept in by the mysterious sea fog, I landed near Lost Soul Island, not far from the Soul Tomb.”

“And when I was swept in, the Soul Tomb was even floating right before me on the sea surface.

At first, I didn’t understand what was happening and even tried to enter the Soul Tomb.”

“If it wasn’t for my family’s protective magical treasure that self-destructed to save my life, I probably would have become one of those living dead in the Tomb by now.”

At this point, Changyun Yuanlei patted his chest as if he had just recovered from a fright:

“Big brother!”

“You have no idea how terrifying that scene was; even now, thinking about it makes my legs go weak and my scalp tingle.”

Afterward,

Changyun Yuanlei looked at Lin Jing with a pained expression:

“I ended up in the most dangerous place right after being swept in; how else to explain it, if not for having the Innate Jinxed Holy Body?”
