Chapter 1780: Terrible Sea of Souls, Billion Soul Flags
The endless gray mist is an eternal and unchanging sight in the Sea of Souls.
It is precisely because of the existence of these mists that the danger in the Soul Sea is not only the vengeful ghosts that lack intelligence and love killing, but also the fear caused by being unable to distinguish directions.
The mist in the Soul Sea is no ordinary mist. Once a ghost cultivator from the outside enters the Soul Sea, he or she will easily lose his sense of direction if he or she does not have special supernatural abilities to sense his or her location.
However, because of the presence of these gray mists, the vengeful spirits in the Soul Sea rarely leave the Soul Sea.
This time, the invasion of the Soul Sea into the White Bone Ghost Realm was different because the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor was driving the fierce ghosts of the Soul Sea, which is why those billions of fierce ghosts were able to fly out of the gray mist range.
Of course, apart from the gray mist, the so-called Sea of Souls is actually a vast, boundless swamp.
This vast swamp is said to be much larger than the Bone Realm.
Of course, the most prominent feature of the Soul Sea is neither the gray mist nor the endless vengeful ghosts, but the swampy land that is as red as blood.
At this moment, a figure was flying close to the ground within the sea of souls.
It was a ghostly figure, like a wandering spirit. If you didn't look closely, it would be hard to tell that he was a cultivator. Instead, he looked like a black ghostly mist.
This cultivator was none other than Mo Fan.
"Uncle Qian, how much longer?"
"It's almost there! I feel like we're very close!"
“I remember you said the same thing ten days ago.”
"..."
Mo Fan looked at the endless crimson swamp in front of him, feeling a sense of helplessness.
It had been ten days since he left the White Bone Ghost Realm, all to find the celestial object that Grandpa Qian had mentioned. As a result, ten days had passed since he left.
When he first entered the Sea of Souls, he didn't find any vengeful ghosts.
Because almost all the vengeful ghosts on the outer edge of the Soul Sea had been driven to the White Bone Ghost Domain by the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor, he could fly freely without any hindrance.
However, when he flew to the third day, he discovered that some fierce ghosts had begun to appear in his soul sea, but there were still not many, and the cultivation of these fierce ghosts was generally weak, so Mo Fan did not take these fierce ghosts seriously.
However, on the fifth day after he entered the Soul Sea, the number of vengeful ghosts increased, and their cultivation levels were not weak. There were even occasional vengeful ghosts at the Saint Emperor level.
Mo Fan's appearance was like a candle in the darkness, instantly attracting these wandering ghosts.
Of course, at first Mo Fan wasn't too worried; in fact, he was even a little excited.
Since this was the first time he had seen so many cultivation resources offered to him, he waved his hand and summoned the Soul-Devouring Banner, directly taking all these vengeful ghosts into it.
But as Mo Fan continued to delve deeper into his soul sea, more and more fierce ghosts surged toward him, including many powerful ghost cultivators at the Saint Venerable Realm. This made Mo Fan excited, but also somewhat worried.
So while he was fighting, he used the ghost mark to gain a deeper understanding of the Soul Sea from his subordinate ghost kings.
Upon learning this, he was immediately startled.
Mo Fan originally thought he had reached the depths of the Soul Sea, but he learned from his subordinates, the Ghost Kings and their henchmen, that he was still far from entering the depths of the Soul Sea and was only on the outer edge of it.
The Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor was merely a Great Saint Realm expert born on the outer edge of the Soul Sea.
In other words, there may be even more Ghost Emperor level experts deep within the Soul Sea!
Even among the twenty-odd Ghost Kings under Mo Fan's command, none of them had ever truly ventured deep into the Soul Sea. Some of them had even sensed the auras of other Ghost Emperors on the outer edge of the Soul Sea.
After learning about this situation, Mo Fan dared not openly collect the evil spirits from the Soul Sea anymore.
Who knows if a ghost emperor might suddenly appear?
However, after two days of fierce battles, the number of vengeful spirits in his soul banner increased from more than 400 million to 1 billion!
The increase in the number of evil spirits associated with the Soul Banner naturally makes the Soul-Devouring Banner even more powerful.
But after these few days of fighting, Mo Fan also discovered that there were truly a lot of ghosts in the Soul Sea, and that a billion was just a drop in the ocean of this vast Soul Sea.
To avoid attracting the attention of powerful beings in the Soul Sea, Mo Fan stopped forcing his way in. Instead, he put away the Soul Devouring Banner and used the unique power of the Soul Law to conceal his aura. He also kept close to the ground, thus avoiding attracting any more vengeful ghosts.
He originally planned to use the Sky Shuttle to travel, but Grandpa Qian stopped him.
In the words of Grandpa Qian, the Soul Sea is too dangerous, containing countless powerful beings. If one rashly uses the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, it may attract the attention of some powerful beings.
After all, the Sky Shuttle is a spatial treasure, and once activated, it will also cause fluctuations in spatial power, so it's hard to say that it won't attract the attention of some powerful individuals.
Grandpa Qian's words served as a wake-up call for Mo Fan. After witnessing how easily the Bone Demon Emperor and the Nine-Headed Demon Emperor tore apart the spatial barrier of the Nine Netherworld, he was not so arrogant as to think that he could rest easy just by using the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.
Heaven knows if the Ghost Emperor of this realm has any way to lock down or even trap the Sky Shuttle.
Therefore, Mo Fan dared not take this risk.
In fact, the reason he dared to agree to Grandpa Qian's request to venture into the Soul Sea was because Bai Yi was by his side.
Even if he encounters any danger during this period, as long as he manifests the Void World to hold out for a while, the white-robed man will be able to open the Netherworld Gate and escape.
This is Mo Fan's greatest source of confidence!
And so, the following scene unfolded.
After flying for ten days straight, Mo Fan still hadn't gotten close to the place Grandpa Qian had mentioned. In fact, he noticed that after asking Grandpa Qian several times, the latter seemed less confident in his answers.
"Uncle Qian, tell me honestly, the place you're talking about isn't the depths of the Soul Sea, is it?"
Mo Fan suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
The depths of the Soul Sea he referred to were not the literal meaning of "depths," but rather the true inner area, or even the central area, of the Soul Sea!
Even Mo Fan didn't know how long it would take him to reach those places, since the Soul Sea was simply too vast.
"Uh... I'm not entirely sure either, but... maybe... it's not that far?" Grandpa Qian said somewhat guiltily.
"Uncle Qian, I really believed your nonsense! Can you be a little more reliable?!"
Mo Fan rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless.
"Forget it, we've already traveled for so many days, so what's a little longer?"
Mo Fan sighed. Although he was annoyed, he still wanted to see what Grandpa Qian was talking about.
After all, it was something from the celestial realm, so he was naturally very much looking forward to it.
Suddenly, Mo Fan thought of something and frowned, asking, "Uncle Qian, since that's an item from the Immortal Realm, do you think it might also be targeted by the powerful beings of the Soul Sea?"
