331 Another World (2)


    Jiang Ming observed it carefully. There seemed to be simr undercurrentsing from all directions. At some point, an invisible torrent erupted at the bottom of the river, which was so dark that one could not even see one’s fingers. It was surging past him.


    The trajectories of the golden streams of light in the surroundings seemed to have be chaotic. They were scattered by the impact and could not maintain their original direction.


    “Hmm? The direction of this undercurrent”


    Although Jiang Ming could not observe the torrent in the darkness, he quickly locked his eyes on a ce near the direction of the impact of the Soul Jade.


    “That’s the ce where I took the rainbow stone just now!”


    Jiang Ming’s heart sank. It was only now that he noticed that at the ce where he had just taken the stone, a few pieces of golden Soul Jade had quietly gathered and were spinning rapidly around the empty spot.


    In the span of a few breaths, more and more golden pieces of Soul Jade had gathered there. It was as if they were being driven by an invisible tornado.


    “Something’s wrong!”


    Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched. When he saw the pieces of Soul Jade, he realized that the pebble he took away must be something extremely important. After leaving the Soul Suppressing River, it triggered an unknown change in this ce.


    With such a sudden change, there was no need to hesitate.


    Jiang Ming activated his spiritual energy and immediately used his escape technique. He rushed up the river at an explosive speed.


    However, an invisible wave suddenly swept past Jiang Ming’s body, making him unstable. What followed was a mighty torrent. Although he could not see it, Jiang Ming still felt suffocated.


    “It’s all over.”


    Jiang Ming seemed to have been pped by an invisible palm and was shot back onto the fine sand at the bottom of the river. He rolled forward like a donkey, wrapped in the surging torrent.


    In just a moment, Jiang Ming had no strength to resist and was brought back to the ce where the stone was taken by the torrent.


    At this moment, this area had alreadypletely formed a water tornado. Golden pieces of Soul Jade danced in the tornado, vaguely illuminating the scene here.


    In his sorry state, Jiang Ming vaguely saw that at the bottom of the tornado, which was where he took the stone, there seemed to be a pitch-ck hole. It was filled with a deep aura, and it was unknown where it led to.


    Endless river water and sand, as well as countless golden pieces of Soul Jade, were continuously sucked into the ck hole by the terrifying force.


    “Looks like this is the source of the flood!” A thought shed through Jiang Ming’s mind. In the end, he was the culprit.


    However, at this moment, Jiang Ming no longer had any power to resist.


    Under the terrifying suction force, Jiang Ming was no different from an insect in the waves. He had no resistance at all and was instantly sucked into the ck hole.


    At this moment, Jiang Ming finally felt a little regretful. Why was he so greedy? Why did he have to y with the stone for no reason?


    * * *


    A huge waterfall fell, and the clear water poured down. Golden dots of light would jump out of the waterfall from time to time. What was most shocking was that these dots of light would turn into fish.


    However, these fish were clearly too weak. They rushed into the void from the waterfall. After flopping twice, they plunged into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall and were smacked around until they were confused. In a daze, they swam into the distance along the clear stream.


    In the deep pool, a head popped out and looked around nkly.


    A fish that had just fallen also popped its head out and nced at the strange creature curiously. It swung its tail and sshed water on Jiang Ming’s face before continuing to swim away.


    “What is this ce?” Jiang Ming was a little confused as he looked around.


    It was a ce with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the sky was clear and boundless.


    The only thing that was a little strange was the waterfall where Jiang Ming was. He looked behind him. The mountains pierced into the clouds. He could not see the end of the waterfall. It was as if the waterfall was falling from the sky.


    Jiang Ming was familiar with the golden light in the waterfall. It was from the Soul Jade in the Soul Suppressing River. It had actuallye here and transformed into golden fish in the waterfall.


    “At the bottom of the Soul Suppressing River is another world…?” Jiang Ming was amazed. Looking at the clear sky, he was obviously not in the snowy valley.


    It was just that he did not know if this ce was still in the ck Rock Ruins.


    “Hmm? The golden light is dimming.”


    Jiang Ming suddenly realized that the golden light spots in the waterfall were rapidly thinning, and the golden fish in the river were also decreasing.


    “Could it be that the stone that I took away has caused some kind of change? Has it opened up some kind of tunnel, causing these pieces of Soul Jade toe from that tunnel to this ce?”


    If that was really the case, then judging from the situation before him, the tunnel should be about to close or had already closed.


    “Those pieces of Soul Jade earlier were merely inanimate objects. Now, they have transformed into fish. This change is definitely extraordinary. If I eat these fish, it might be beneficial to my cultivation!”


    Jiang Ming’s eyes were a little fiery. He did not waste this short opportunity. He did not care about going ashore to clean himself up first and immediately began to catch fish in the water.


    However, the Soul Jade was already extremely slippery. Now that it had transformed into fish, its movements were even faster than lightning. In the end he only caught two fish.


    The golden light in the waterfall was about topletely disappear.


    Jiang Ming threw the two fish into a magic cauldron, took out the ck sword, and shook it.


    “Friend, use your lightning!”


    Spiritual energy poured into the ck sword, and dazzling lightning erupted, lingering around the sword. Then, Jiang Ming plunged into the river.


    The deep pool was shing with a strange luster. In a short while, a dozen golden fish floated up from the surface of the water.


    “Don’t even think about escaping,” Jiang Ming muttered and let the ck sword maintain the lightning while he began to pick up the fish that had identally been killed.


    Finally, thest golden fish fell into the deep pool from mid-air. Then, it was electrocuted and floated up in an instant.


    Seeing that there was no more golden light in the waterfall, Jiang Ming finally went ashore in satisfaction. After drying his clothes with a spell, he could not wait to set up a grill on the shore and start roasting the fish.


    “Friend, can you fish?” Jiang Ming smiled.


    “I don’t eat ordinary fish,” the ck sword replied. “However, these fish were transformed from the Soul Jade in the Soul Suppressing River. They contain the essence of nurturing the divine soul. They are also somewhat useful for me to recover my consciousness and memories. However, you don’t have to roast them. I’ll just eat the raw ones.”


    The ck sword was confused and muttered to itself, “What the hell are you saying? You’re the weirdo, alright? These fish encountered a huge opportunity to transform from Soul Jade. However, arge number of them were electrocuted to death by a sicko like you!”


    A momentter, Jiang Ming finished grilling the fish. As he ate, he asked the ck sword, “Friend, since you know about the existence of this river, do you know where this is?”


    The ck sword was silent for a moment before it said faintly, “I’ve never seen such a ce before. However, ording to the legends, there seems to be an extremely special ce in the depths of the Soul Suppressing River. However, I have always thought that it was only a legend.”
