Chapter 1781 Strong Anticipation, Terrifying Sea of Blood
Mo Fan's words silenced Grandpa Qian, who seemed to be pondering them before quickly giving his answer.
"Probably not. If that thing really caught the eye of those Great Saint Ghost Cultivators in the Soul Sea, they would definitely treasure it and keep it safe, afraid that other cultivators would find out, rather than just leaving it unattended."
The fact that I, the Immortal Venerable, can sense that thing's aura means that it is still currently ownerless.
Moreover, just because I, the Immortal Venerable, can sense that thing's aura does not mean that other cultivators can sense it as well.
"After all, I am the Great Immortal Venerable of the Primordial Chaos. In my eyes, some Great Sage Ghost Cultivators are nothing but ants. How could they be compared to me?" Old Master Qian sneered.
"Are all Great Sage cultivators just ants?"
Mo Fan was slightly taken aback, then scoffed and said, "Uncle Qian, you're really good at bragging!"
In his view, even if Grandpa Qian was some kind of immortal venerable, he was at most an immortal, and even if he was stronger than a great saint cultivator, his strength should be limited.
After all, the Great Sage Realm is considered the ceiling of the Great World, and taking another step forward would also make one an immortal.
"What do you know, you frog in a well?"
Grandpa Qian snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "From the Great Saint Realm onwards, the gap between each realm of a cultivator is enormous."
Moreover, look at all those Great Saint Realm Ghost Emperors in the Nine Netherworld, how many of them have actually succeeded in attaining immortality?
Immortals have transcended ordinary cultivators; in a sense, they cannot be considered the same kind of being.
True immortals are far stronger than cultivators in the lower realms.
Just like a Saint Emperor Realm expert from the Great World descending to the Three Thousand Lesser Worlds, it's like a dimensional reduction attack for the cultivators of those Lesser Worlds.
After all, resources in small worlds are limited, and the ceiling for most small worlds is only the peak of the Saint Realm!
"Hmm, what you said makes some sense."
Mo Fan did not refute this, but nodded seriously.
If it weren't for the emergence of variables like him and Emperor Qin, the Nine Provinces Continent would probably have been slaughtered by the Celestials and Demons long ago.
"I hope you can be reliable this time, otherwise I'll have no choice but to run away."
After saying this, Mo Fan continued flying deeper into the mist ahead.
Although the fog in the soul sea can make it difficult to discern directions, Mo Fan doesn't need to discern directions; he only needs to follow Grandpa Qian's guidance.
His goal was clear: regardless of whether he could obtain the celestial treasure, he would ultimately have the white-robed figure open the Netherworld Gate and leave the Nine Netherworld.
Although this trip to the Nine Netherworld took a long time, the gains were enormous, far exceeding the initial goals.
Therefore, for Mo Fan, whether or not this trip yields any gains, there is not much loss.
He moved stealthily without alerting any powerful figures within his soul sea, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.
After a month, Mo Fan finally understood that Grandpa Qian had no idea how far away that thing was.
Although he was frustrated, he was also surprised by Grandpa Qian's perception ability.
Given his current cultivation level, his speed is naturally not slow. Forty days of flying, while not exactly full-speed flying, still covers an incredibly long distance.
It's incredible that Grandpa Qian could sense the aura of that thing from such a distance.
Perhaps sensing Mo Fan's surprise, Grandpa Qian explained somewhat dejectedly, "Actually, it's not that this Immortal Venerable has strong perception, but that aura exists throughout the entire Soul Sea, which is what frustrates this Immortal Venerable."
At first, I thought that thing was not far from the outer edge of the Soul Sea, but after entering the Soul Sea, I realized that there was a stronger aura in the deeper part of the Soul Sea.
That's why I brought you all the way here.
"Or do you really think this immortal is a conman?"
After hearing what Grandpa Qian said, Mo Fan was also deeply shocked.
"That aura could actually permeate the entire soul sea?"
"I'm getting more and more excited about that thing now!"
Mo Fan took a deep breath, a strong sense of anticipation welling up in his heart.
Although it's still uncertain what it is, it is, after all, something from the Immortal Realm, and it can spread its aura throughout the entire Soul Sea. How could it be anything less than amazing?
"Don't even mention you, even I, the Immortal Venerable, am very interested in that thing."
"That aura is not just something from the Immortal Realm; it's also ancient and terrifying. It might be a treasure from the era of gods and demons, or even a cave left behind by a god or demon!" Grandpa Qian said excitedly.
Mo Fan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
Perhaps it was the expectation in his heart that made him move forward faster and faster.
Two more days passed, and on this day, Mo Fan suddenly discovered that the area in front of him was no longer a swamp, but a vast sea of blood had appeared!
The sea of blood stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly without end.
Meanwhile, many islands also exist within that sea of blood.
"There's such a huge sea of blood here?"
Mo Fan was shocked, and at the same time, he thought of the words "Soul Sea" and suddenly understood a bit more.
No wonder it's called the Sea of Souls. It turns out that there really is a vast ocean deep within the Sea of Souls, but it's not ordinary seawater; it's blood-red water!
Mo Fan didn't think much of it and was about to fly directly into the sea of blood ahead when Old Man Qian in his mind spoke up somewhat solemnly: "Kid, don't act rashly. Something seems off about this sea of blood."
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately stopped, asking, "Uncle Qian, have you discovered something?"
"Boy, the water in this sea of blood isn't just bright red; it's real blood!"
"what?!"
Mo Fan was shocked upon hearing this. How many lives would it take to fill such a vast sea?
"And it's not just this problem. Have you noticed that since we got closer to this sea of blood, there are significantly fewer vengeful spirits around us, and there isn't a single vengeful spirit on the sea of blood itself? This means there's definitely something wrong with this sea of blood."
"There's a high chance of a major hidden danger!" Grandpa Qian said in a deep voice.
After Grandpa Qian's analysis, Mo Fan nodded in agreement. He then took out the Soul-Devouring Banner and waved it casually. More than ten fierce ghosts flew out from it and headed straight for the sea of blood in front of him.
The vengeful spirits quickly flew into the sky above the sea of blood, and there was no sign of them making any noise.
Mo Fan frowned slightly. Instead of letting the vengeful ghosts return, he used the Soul-Devouring Banner to control them as they continued to fly deeper into the area.
Just then, a slender, blood-red tentacle emerged from the sea of blood and wrapped itself around a vengeful ghost.
At the same time, more crimson tentacles emerged from the sea of blood, reaching out towards the other vengeful spirits.
Mo Fan's expression darkened upon seeing this, and he manipulated some of the fierce ghosts to fly rapidly upwards. However, the blood-red tentacles were even faster, giving the fierce ghosts no chance to fly high at all.
In an instant, all ten or so vengeful ghosts were wrapped up by blood-red tentacles.
As these vengeful spirits were engulfed, a large cloud of ghostly mist rose from their bodies, and they let out shrill screams. After only a few breaths, these vengeful spirits were completely annihilated!
Seeing this, even Mo Fan couldn't help but gasp.
These dozen or so fierce ghosts that he selected to scout ahead were all ghost generals, which means they were all ghost cultivators at the Saint Emperor realm!
But at this moment, the entire army was wiped out!
