Chapter 483: The Immortal Seeking Staircase At The Bottom Of The Lifeless River

Mo Wuji naturally didn't know of the thoughts running through Wen Lianxi's mind. At this moment, he was sitting in front of a pitch black whirlpool.
This was the sixth month that he started searching the depths of the Lifeless River. It was entirely due to coincidence that he managed to find this place. It was because he saw a piece of Brilliant Curved Space Gold in the vicinity. The Brilliant Curved Space Gold is a smithing material that could forge space-type treasures; not only could it forge a storage ring, it could even create a pocket dimension.
Logically, Brilliant Curved Space Gold should not appear within the Lifeless River. Thus, after Mo Wuji spotted the piece of Brilliant Curved Space Gold, he immediately started searching the area.
As a result, he managed to find this black whirlpool. The black whirlpool seemed to be entirely made of a sea of ash; his spiritual will was completely unable to penetrate through it. The moment Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will in, it would be bombarded and grinded away by this black whirlpool.
Even Mo Wuji didn't dare to enter this whirlpool. Instead, he used this whirlpool to temper his spiritual will. He found that every time his spiritual will got grinded by this whirlpool, when it gets recovered, it would be slightly tougher.
Mo Wuji soon discovered that this black whirlpool wasn't constantly present; the whirlpool would only appear once in a day, and for undetermined periods of time. Sometimes, it might come appear for an entire incense’s time. On other instances, it only appeared for ten breaths.
However, this did not affect his intentions of using the whirlpool to temper his spiritual will; after all, both his Domain Crushing Fist and Spatial Imprisonment had high requirements of his spiritual will. If his spiritual will got stronger, his Domain Crushing Fist would also naturally become more powerful.
He managed to find such a place to temper his spiritual will after much difficulty; so how could Mo Wuji simply give it up?
As he continued to temper his spiritual will here, Mo Wuji's spiritual will had actually reached a point where it could slightly feel the energy within the black whirlpool. That energy seemed to be like the vast Dao revolving and circling. Even though Mo Wuji wasn't cultivating, he could feel his cultivation level rising.
At this instant, the black whirlpool was rotating and revolving faster and faster. From his experience, Mo Wuji knew that the faster the whirlpool, the more benefits it would have for his spiritual will.
”Boom!” Mo Wuji's spiritual will penetrated into the whirlpool. A violent and terrifying force came surging over; Mo Wuji felt as though his sea of consciousness was tearing apart as it emitted tremors and roars. The intense ache inundated his entire consciousness and his Mind Palace.
Mo Wuji had already experienced this situation umpteen times. He didn't make a single move and simply let his spiritual will move freely in the whirlpool. Experience has taught Mo Wuji that the greater pressure and pain he felt with his spiritual will, the more beneficial it will be.
At the very beginning, Mo Wuji's spiritual will would immediately be devoured the moment it enters this black whirlpool. But now, his spiritual will could stay in this whirlpool for up to half an incense of time.
Following the gradual depletion of his spiritual will, the ache on his sea of consciousness continued to increase. However, he also knew that this round of whirlpool would be ending soon. He would recover for one day, then continue the same thing tomorrow.
Just at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in Mo Wuji's sea of consciousness; Mo Wuji immediately felt as though he was an ant beneath the feet of giants. There vast and suffocating pressure caused Mo Wuji to feel as though his entire soul was trembling.
Within that gold light, there seemed to be faint steps. Those steps seemed to head towards somewhere, but Mo Wuji could only feel a blur.
Just when Mo Wuji wanted to take a look at these steps, that black whirlpool vanished without a trace; those gold steps also disappeared completely.
Could this be the Immortal Seeking Staircase concealed within the Lifeless River?
Mo Wuji suddenly stood up; he had never seen the Immortal Seeking Staircase before but he could faintly feel that this was the real Immortal Seeking. It was likely that Ku Ya's words were true; there was truly a path to the Immortal World hidden in the depths of the Lifeless River.
Mo Wuji spent some time examining the area; he suspected that there was an extremely high grade concealment array here, to the extent where he wasn't able to detect it. Mo Wuji decided that when the whirlpool reappears again the next day, he would go in and take a look, to discern whether it was truly the Immortal Seeking Staircase.
One day passed in a flash; the black whirlpool emerged once again. Mo Wuji brought out a Grade 2 immortal shield, and charged straight into this black whirlpool.
He had been around this whirlpool for a month; he believed that it should not be able to take his life.
