323 Meeting an Old Friend in the Soul Suppressing River (1)


    In the boundless snowfield, Jiang Ming walked alone and continued to move toward the deepest part.


    It had been about three days since Jiang Ming had destroyed the camp. He had crossed mountain ranges one after another and even encountered many demonic beasts and dangerous ces. However, he still could not find anyone.


    If it were not for the traces of battle along the way, Jiang Ming would have suspected that he had gone the wrong way.


    Jiang Ming looked at the sky. The strange mes that spanned the sky were the same as three days ago. There was still no change.


    !!


    It seemed that he was indeed very far away from that higher-level area. This made Jiang Ming feel a little relieved. It was always good not to go to a more dangerous ce.


    He hoped that he could find traces of Wu Hen before he reached that area.


    Suddenly, Jiang Ming’s eyes moved slightly. He heard a thunderous sound, like the roar of a demonic beast, shocking his soul.


    Jiang Ming’s heart moved slightly, and he sped up a little more as he rushed forward.


    He continued to move forward. After about fifteen minutes, the deafening sound was endless. Finally, a magnificent river appeared in front of him. Jiang Ming estimated that it was tens of thousands of feet wide and blocked his way.


    This river was extremely strange. The water was a strange dark color, like obsidian. asionally, a golden light shed and disappeared. It was impossible to see how deep it was. As it surged, a thunderous sound erupted, making Jiang Ming’s divine will feel the impact.


    Over the past few days, he had killed several waves of cultivators from various grotto-heavens and blessednds and interrogated several people in the stronghold. He had almost figured out the many dangerous ces and opportunities in this area.


    This strange, pitch-ck river was one of the most mysterious ces in the ck Rock Ruins. It was called the Soul Suppressing River.


    It was said that this river ran through all the areas of the ck Rock Ruins. However, no one knew where it started or where it eventually flowed to. They only knew that this river was extremely mysterious, and that the river water contained a strange power that could shock one’s divine soul.


    In fact, the deeper one went, the stronger the power of the Soul Suppressing River. Legend had it that even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could not go to the bottom of the Soul Suppressing River.


    “I wonder if my luck is good enough to get some Soul Jade!” Jiang Ming stared at the golden light that shed in the river, and he was tempted.


    The Soul Suppressing River was extremely mysterious. However, it also produced a mysterious and precious treasure called Soul Jade. It could greatly increase the power of a cultivator’s divine soul and even greatly nourish their divine will. However, Soul Jade was extremely rare and could only be found in the Soul Suppressing River.


    Moreover, it was not an easy task to enter the river to retrieve the Soul Jade. The Soul Jade was the essence of the Soul Suppressing River. Wherever it appeared, the power of the nearby river water would often increase by several times or even more, which would cause great damage to the divine soul.


    To an ordinary cultivator, if they encountered Soul Jade while crossing the river, it was not an opportunity, but an iparably terrifying fate.


    “However, I can give it a try!”


    Jiang Ming thought to himself as he approached the Soul Suppressing River.


    At this moment, a spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar, causing Jiang Ming to raise his brows.


    “Hmm? Who is this?”


    Jiang Ming’s expression changed, and he quickly looked downstream.


    Far away, there seemed to be several streams of light shooting along the river and quickly approaching the ce where Jiang Ming was.


    ring balls of spiritual light exploded from time to time, as if an intense battle was taking ce.


    “Hmm? The aura of these people…” Jiang Ming was stunned. Was this a group of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators?”


    Jiang Ming was already used to the powerful aura of cultivators of the same level after killing his way through this area. Now that he suddenly saw a group of cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm, he was still a little confused.


    The area he was in was only a small part of the ck Rock Ruins. Most of the areas in the ck Rock Ruins could only amodate Qi Refinement Realm cultivators. That was where the geniuses of many immortal cultivation sectspeted after the ruins officially opened. It was the liveliest ce.


    As a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, Jiang Ming naturally could not enter those areas. However, if those Qi Refinement Realm cultivators identally entered the Foundation Establishment Realm area here, they would not be stopped at all.


    It was just like how if Jiang Ming rushed all the way into the Golden Core Realm area, he would be unimpeded. However, the danger of the Golden Core Realm area was not something that this area couldpare to.


    While he was deep in thought, those figures also approached quickly. The aftermath of the battle had already affected Jiang Ming.


    He narrowed his eyes slightly and spread out his divine will. ording to the many auras and the spells that those people used, he could almost distinguish their identities.


    “The Mystic Star Grotto-heaven, the Cloud Stream Sect… is it another group of geniuses from the grotto-heavens and blessednds?”


    However, these geniuses seemed to be fleeing for their lives. Behind them were a few figures chasing after them.
