"Ugh... Ahh..."
Jiang Li slowly propped himself up and shook his head. At this moment, his divine soul was still aching slightly.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the discomfort, but the pain seemed to be rooted deep in his divine soul and couldn't be dispelled no matter what.
He opened his eyes and looked around.
"Where... is this?"
At this moment, Jiang Li was in a state of chaos. He didn't know where this place was or what time it was.
"I remember I was in the Tribute Academy. At that time, Jiang Zhenting was fighting against Ling Zuo, and then he was killed in an instant. It seemed that something was squeezed into my brain, and then I passed out."
Jiang Li muttered to himself, trying hard to recall what had happened before.
Those tragic scenes flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
But now, how did he end up in such a strange place?
It was terribly quiet all around. There wasn't a single sound, and even the air seemed to have solidified.
Jiang Li tried to take a step forward, but found that he was just marking time and hadn't moved an inch at all.
Looking around, there was nothing but emptiness. There was nothing at all, and even the ground under his feet was suspended in the air.
"So, where the hell have I been brought to? Is this still the Great Han Dynasty?"
"Young man." Suddenly, a somewhat familiar call rang in his ear.
"Who?" Jiang Li looked around and found that there was no one in sight.
At this moment, a blurry figure emerged in front of him and gradually became solid.
Seeing the person in front of him, Jiang Li immediately felt relieved. He hadn't expected that he would die so casually.
This person was Ling Zuo who had already passed away. Presumably, this place was the Underworld. Then where was his mother?
"Is this the Underworld?"
"No, this is inside your divine soul."
"Ah?"
Looking at Jiang Li's astonished expression, Ling Zuo explained unhurriedly,"Don't be surprised. I'm indeed dead. However, a fragment of my divine soul was attracted by your divine soul and slipped in. Moreover, your divine sea is so vast that you will surely be able to break through to the Soul God realm in time."
Jiang Li had never expected that the place where he was currently located was actually inside his own divine soul.
What was even more unbelievable to him was that the person in front of him, who should have already died, could appear here and talk to him just because of a fragment of his divine soul.
"You... You say this is inside my divine soul? How is that possible? Also, why are you here? And how did that fragment of your divine soul get attracted by me?"
Jiang Li threw out a series of questions. He urgently needed to figure out what was going on.
"You should ask yourself about this."
"Me?"
"Why do you know the cultivation method of the Xuandu Temple? Who passed on the 'True Scripture of Human Yuan' to you! Was it Jiang Zhenting who passed it on to you?"
Ling Zuo's voice gradually became excited as he shouted out the question.
Jiang Li didn't answer. Instead, he raised his hand, and the space suddenly compressed. Ling Zuo's figure froze for a moment, and chains instantly condensed from all directions, imprisoning him.
"Since this is my divine sea, then I am the master of this world. How dare you shout at me!"
At this time, Ling Zuo didn't show any look of panic on his face, only shock.
[A genius, a one-in-a-million genius. He was able to comprehend this domain and make use of it the first time he entered the divine soul space. Such comprehension ability is rarely seen in a thousand years.]
So he simply didn't resist and just looked at Jiang Li's divine soul like this.
"Now, I'll ask you. What's the relationship between the Xuandu Temple, you, Jiang Zhenting, and this country?"
"Have you heard my story?"
"No, but they all say that you colluded with the enemy country and became a traitor."
"Hahaha, colluded with the enemy country. Every time I hear these three words, I want to laugh. The title given to me by the Xuanyuan family is really unique. I guarded the Northern Region for them for thirty years. I didn't expect that in the end, just because I was a disciple of the Xuandu Temple, I was treated like this."
"You're from the Xuandu Temple!"
"Yes."
"How can you prove it?"
"Based on the fact that I know that the Xuandu Temple was jointly besieged by Jiang Zhenting, the Xuanyuan family, the Great Xiangguo Temple, the Qinglian Sect, the Wuji Sect and the Qianmian Sect back then. Based on the fact that I can directly sense that you've cultivated the True Scripture of Human Yuan. Based on the fact that I can directly enter your divine sea without harming your divine soul."
Hearing these words, Jiang Li somewhat believed him, but he still didn't let his guard down.
"Then you're from an evil cult?"
"Damn it! Nonsense!!" Ling Zuo roared as if something had touched a nerve.
"I've also learned your cultivation method. Why are you so agitated? If it's really an evil cult, wouldn't I also become an evil cultivator?"
"Even so, you shouldn't slander your own sect!"
"When did I say that I'm from the Xuandu Temple?"
"You little brat! Do you really think I'm easy to toy with!"
Ling Zuo suddenly expanded in size. The chains wrapped around his body rattled, and his imposing manner kept rising, as if he was the master of this world.
"Ugh!"
He tried to break free from the chains, but surprisingly, he couldn't. And because his body had expanded, he was now feeling extremely uncomfortable being strangled by the chains.
"Your imposing manner is quite something, but it's just like a kitten throwing a tantrum. I was almost scared by you." Jiang Li said calmly, with a slightly teasing tone in his voice.
Ling Zuo was left speechless for a moment.[Even if I'm just a fragment, I'm still a fragment of a Martial Venerable. I can't even break free from this kid's divine soul chains! This is no longer just a matter of talent. This kid must be the reincarnation of some powerful being!]
"Hehe, young man, let's talk it over. We're on the same side." Ling Zuo hurriedly said in a fawning manner, not looking at all like he was furious just now.
"Go ahead and talk!"
"Call out the Moyuan on your neck, and then you'll know everything."
Jiang Li sensed the black jade hanging around his neck.
"So this is called Moyuan. What about the white jade?"
"The white jade is called Xuepo. But how did you manage to separate them? I tried all kinds of ways back then but couldn't separate them at all."
Jiang Li ignored him, mainly because he didn't know either!
He held Moyuan in his hand and asked,"Then what?"
Before Jiang Li could react, the Moyuan in his hand suddenly transformed into a black fish and soared into the air.
At this time, Ling Zuo shouted,"Kid, don't let the inheritance end with you. Survive! You must survive!"
Moyuan swallowed Ling Zuo in one gulp. Jiang Li only saw the corner of Ling Zuo's mouth cracking open in the end. He was laughing!
Jiang Li frowned tightly, not understanding what was going on. Was calling out Moyuan just to get rid of him? What was the point?
After swallowing Ling Zuo, Moyuan rolled around a couple of times, spat out a ball of white light, and swept its fish tail to send it flying towards Jiang Li.
"Puff~"
The ball of light was directly driven into Jiang Li's divine soul.
In an instant, Jiang Li only felt a vast and pure energy pouring into his divine soul like a surging tide, and countless images instantly flashed through Jiang Li's mind.
