After everything was ready, Jiang Yuebai left a note for Lu Nanzhi, saying only that he was going out with his master and would be back soon.
Afterwards, he followed Li Jiuchuan and Canghuo to the depths of the Nether Sea.
The Shura Realm is located in the eastern part of the Nether Sea, and the legendary Mermaid Kingdom, according to historical records from various sources, is located in the southernmost part of the Nether Sea.
Along the way, Jiang Yuebai saw many people from Shanhai Tower and Feiyan Pavilion searching back and forth in various places on the sea, exploring deep in the seabed, and using all kinds of exploration magic weapons, almost turning the Nether Sea upside down.
After two days of travel, on the second night, Li Jiuchuan and Jiang Yuebai arrived at a deserted island with no one living on it.
"It should be here. I have compared the records in the Wuwei Miscellaneous Collection. The people of Wuwei Mountain went out to the Dark Sea to look for mermaids, and their final destination should be this isolated island."
The two men got off the flying magic weapon, and Li Jiuchuan quickly explored the entire island to eliminate hidden dangers.
"You two run really fast."
Cang Huo arrived shortly afterwards, looked at Jiang Yuebai, not knowing what to say, and could only sigh heavily.
Jiang Yuebai smiled bitterly, "Master Canghuo, you have been sighing all the way. My master just doesn't like to hear you sigh, so he ran to the front."
"I... forget it!"
Jiang Yuebai knew that Master Canghuo was also worried about her, but she also knew that it was impossible to change her decision, so she was just feeling depressed.
Cang Huo walked up to Li Jiuchuan and said unhappily, "Go, go, go and extract the soul from your stubborn disciple. I'm responsible for the safety of the island. Let's see who dares to approach."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light shot out from the sky and hit Cang Huo right under his feet.
Canghuo looked up angrily and saw Ling Guanghan coming with Lu Nanzhi and Shen Huaixi.
"Anan."
Jiang Yuebai called out with a guilty conscience.
After landing, Lu Nanzhi walked to Jiang Yuebai and said, "I knew you had other plans. Don't worry, I won't stop you, just like you didn't stop me in the first place."
Shen Huaixi nodded and said nothing, then went to help Canghuo check the entire island.
Ling Guanghan said to Li Jiuchuan, "Jingshan is my disciple, I should do my best for him."
Li Jiuchuan nodded, "Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Guanghan and Senior Brother Canghuo to protect my disciple together."
On the small isolated island, everyone worked together to bring Xie Jingshan back. Jiang Yuebai felt a warm current in her heart. With great courage and belief, she would definitely find the Mermaid Kingdom and Xie Jingshan!
In the center of the isolated island, Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged opposite Li Jiuchuan.
"Are you ready?"
Jiang Yuebai forced a smile and said, "I've been ready for a long time."
Li Jiuchuan took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed, just as he was about to point at Jiang Yuebai's brow, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he remembered something. He lowered his head and thought, humming and laughing, "Is this also destined?"
"Master, what are you talking about?"
"Do you know that you are destined to die young?"
Li Jiuchuan told the story of the great elder fortune-telling for Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai was somewhat surprised after hearing it. "Is fate really that accurate?"
Can immortals really change a person's fate so easily
"For a Divine Transformation cultivator, especially one who is proficient in divination, it is easy to calculate the fate of a mortal, so the possibility that the Supreme Elder made a mistake is not high."
"This matter is not important at the moment. What is important is that if you are destined to die young, then in the underworld, you are already dead. If your soul leaves your body, you will definitely go to the underworld to be reborn according to the procedure of the living soul."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up, "That means I will definitely be able to see the mermaids and reach the underworld?"
Li Jiuchuan nodded with a heavy face, "The problem is that it is easy to enter the underworld, but it may be difficult to get out. This matter is still..."
"Master! I have made up my mind. No matter what, I must go on this trip. You just said that my fate is entangled with the person who changed my fate. That is my only chance of survival. I will be fine."
Li Jiuchuan was still worried, and after some thought, he said, "I will find a way to notify the Grand Elder and ask her to come as soon as possible just in case."
Jiang Yuebai nodded vigorously, "Okay, time is running out, Master, let's hurry up."
Li Jiuchuan was full of helplessness, but finally he put his fingers together to create a ray of spiritual light and pointed it at Jiang Yuebai's brow. The powerful spiritual consciousness invaded Jiang Yuebai's sea of consciousness and enveloped her soul.
Jiang Yuebai clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress her instinctive resistance, allowing Li Jiuchuan to pull her soul out bit by bit.
The intense stinging sensation made Jiang Yuebai groan involuntarily. Lu Nanzhi, who was guarding not far away, frowned in pain. The pain of having one's soul extracted alive was considered torture for a cultivator, and ghost cultivators often tortured other cultivators in this way.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Jiuchuan's forehead. He was fully focused and cautious. In order to relieve Jiang Yuebai's pain, he ignored his own injuries, released the suppression of the bloody evil energy in his body, concentrated all his strength in his fingers, and pulled out Jiang Yuebai's soul in one hand.
puff!
Li Jiuchuan tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Lu Nanzhi rushed over and caught Jiang Yuebai's fallen body. Shen Huaixi came to Li Jiuchuan and asked him with concern.
Li Jiuchuan held Shen Huaixi's arm and sat back down, slightly suppressed the bloody evil energy in his body, and hurriedly drew a few runes on Jiang Yuebai's forehead to ensure that her body would not decay due to the departure of her soul in the next forty-nine days.
He could no longer help with what happened next and could only rely on Jiang Yuebai himself.
*
The moment his soul left his body, Jiang Yuebai felt his whole body relax, just like the feeling of having unloaded a heavy load after practicing martial arts.
"Master..."
Jiang Yuebai turned around and found himself floating in mid-air. Everything around him had changed.
There was no one on the isolated island, and everything turned gray and colorless. Only the sea was glowing with blue fluorescence. In the sea, there were groups of jellyfish-like creatures floating with dots of fluorescence.
The group of jellyfish slowly swam out of the sea, swam in front of her, and landed on various parts of her body one by one. Her soul was dragged by the jellyfish and sank into the sea.
It was pitch black under the sea, with only a small area illuminated by blue fluorescence. Jiang Yuebai didn't know how long she had been swimming. Gradually, she saw some of the same blue fluorescence appearing in the darkness around her. At the center of the fluorescence was a soul like hers.
At this time, ethereal and beautiful singing came from deeper under the sea, and Jiang Yuebai looked down into the deep sea.
The sea water hit his face, and Jiang Yuebai was unexpectedly carried out from the deep sea by a jellyfish. A huge full moon was half-sunken on the sea level, and the moonlight fell on an isolated island. Two mermaids were sitting on the edge of the island.
The mermaid has skin as white as snow, silver hair like moonlight leaking to the ground, and deep blue eyes with a tranquility as deep as the sea.
Under the slender waist that can be held in one hand, the sparkling fish tail slides gently in the sea water, singing softly.
The song made Jiang Yuebai's soul soften. She was immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself. She was carried by the jellyfish to float on the sea. When the song stopped, she suddenly came to her senses and found herself thrown on an isolated island, surrounded by the souls of children under ten years old.
There are various isolated islands around, each of which has different souls waiting for the mermaids to take them to the underworld for reincarnation.
Jiang Yuebai once again glanced at the souls on the isolated island where he was, and was sure that his master was right. The souls of the children on this island must all be children who died young.
