What a huge sin!
Those figures should be people from the ancient era, cultivators who were lost in this place.
Wanyan was stunned for a moment before nodding.
As Jian Wushuang had guessed, this was the case.
With the company of others, walking on this dark path didn't feel so lonely anymore.
Moreover, after he saved Wanyan, his spirit consciousness was greatly improved. His soul realm was already very strong, so it wasn't easy to destroy his consciousness.
"So that's the case!" After Jian Wushuang understood, he still felt that he had underestimated some ancient legacies.
This was the first time he had seen such an exquisite plan. He had never heard of it before.
This was the first bridge.
Jian Wushuang led Wanyan forward. The dark path started to become wider. The two of them walked very easily and didn't feel tired at all.
As expected, after walking for less than two hours, a bridge appeared in front of them. It was the same as the first bridge they saw. There were hundreds of wandering souls on it.
"Don't attack them!" Jian Wushuang instructed.
He had already told Wanyan his guess. After they got on the bridge, they couldn't kill the wandering souls. They had to use the power of the god stones to see if they could revive these wandering souls.
Jian Wushuang carefully walked onto the bridge. A wandering soul stood in front of him.
Huala!
Millions of god stones turned into a flood and got close to the wandering souls. He wanted to try and see if his guess was correct.
When the flood got close to the wandering souls, they didn't absorb the energy. Instead, they took a few steps back.
Jian Wushuang was shocked. Fortunately, the bridge didn't collapse.
Just like that, he led Wanyan and used the power of the god stones to disperse the wandering souls blocking their path.
There were still some deviations.
He didn't dare to be careless. He walked slowly and calmly. Although cold sweat appeared on his forehead when he lowered his head to look at the desolate beasts below the bridge, he still maintained his composure.
"We passed just like that?" Wanyan was in disbelief.
After crossing the first bridge, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief and instantly felt relaxed.
The moment they passed, the bridge collapsed again.
But this time, it was already over. It didn't matter if it collapsed.
However, before they could celebrate, their bodies flew out uncontrollably. Space warped, and when they reappeared, they were back at the starting point!
Jian Wushuang was exasperated!
What was going on?
Did he think they were fools?
He couldn't save them, couldn't kill them, and couldn't cross them.
Wanyan was also on the verge of collapsing. The trauma they suffered when they lost their consciousness earlier was simply too great.
"It's over, we've fallen into an endless loop!"
Wanyan's countenance was haggard. For some reason, ever since they lost their consciousness, their bodies felt fatigued.
But this place didn't suppress them!
Jian Wushuang's eyes were complicated as he said, "Let's try going forward. We can't stay too long, or we'll lose consciousness again. At that time, even I might not be able to hold on."
He had walked on the soul ladder in the West Sea. His soul and heart force were both stronger, which was why he could withstand it.
Even though Wan Yan, a level-five emperor emperor from the primal universe, had his own fortuitous encounters, his fortuitous encounters weren't as comprehensive as his.
After hearing Jian Wushuang's words, Wanyan was scared witless. That feeling of losing consciousness was too terrifying. It was like his spirit had been destroyed and only his soul was left.
He didn't want to get lost here.
"Right, the first one to enter should be Emperor Dong Sheng. Why isn't he here?" Jian Wushuang thought of the first emperor to enter Demon Sound Palace.
He had almost forgotten about him.
If he could meet Wanyan, he should have met Dong Sheng!
Could he have gone over?
Jian Wushuang couldn't believe it. There was nothing special about Dong Sheng. Dong Sheng was just one level higher than him in the space realm.
If he hadn't made it over and the two of them didn't see him, he might be dead by now.
Wanyan shook his head as he thought of the lava and the desolate beasts under the bridge.
With Emperor Dong Sheng's character, he might really swim over.
If he couldn't swim over, he would be eaten by the desolate beasts. If he swam over and was teleported back, it would be even more devastating.
"Forget it. Since this method doesn't work, I'll try other methods!" Jian Wushuang clenched his teeth, and a surge of tenacity attacked him.
Cultivators walked such a heaven-defying path. He didn't believe it.
Since this was the land of inheritance, there had to be a way to break it.
He was able to defeat the three kings back then, not to mention this perilous place set up by Demon Sound Palace.
The two of them moved forward again, this time at a faster speed.
In less than two hours, they reached the side of the bridge.
Seeing the bridge, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. They weren't afraid of trying, but they were afraid that they wouldn't have the chance to try. It would be troublesome if they couldn't find the bridge. The endless torment of walking this path was too oppressive.
Coming to the side of the bridge, Jian Wushuang took out the divine stone again. Apart from the divine stone, he also extracted his origin energy.
Under the combination of the origin energy and divine power, the wandering souls didn't absorb it. Instead, they retreated.
Jian Wushuang didn't even step on the bridge. He kept trying all kinds of methods.
Wanyan, who was at the side, also did everything he could. He was just short of kneeling down and kowtowing to the wandering souls and burning incense.
"Where did I go wrong?" Jian Wushuang gradually stood on the shore and started to ponder.
Wandering souls on the bridge!
What did he want them to do?
"Soul Ferry!" Jian Wushuang's pupils suddenly contracted as he thought of a mortal legend.
However, this story was more common among the common people.
Back then, he was just a mortal and wasn't even a ruler.
This legend definitely had nothing to do with this place, but it could be used as a reference.
Legend had it that a scholar came to the capital to take the exam, but was trapped in a mass grave. He was lost for several days and couldn't walk out.
Later on, he ran out of dry food and was dizzy from hunger. He started to see unclean things, which were some wandering souls.
These wandering souls all bowed to him, saying that he was a judge of the underworld who came to the mortal world to save them. They insisted that the scholar be their ferryman. In a daze, the scholar actually managed to ferry these wandering souls to the underworld river.
Without the wandering souls pestering him, the scholar walked out of the mass grave and arrived in the capital on the last day of the exam.
Originally, with his knowledge, it was already not bad if he could get third place. He didn't expect that when the results were released, he would be the chief minister.
Later on, he was appointed to a prefecture and became a very famous judge of the Ministry of Justice in that dynasty.
A group of experts gathered around him to protect him. At the same time, before he took up the post, he even wrote down his experiences.
Although there was a possibility that it was fabricated, the scholar's behavior in the mortal world was no different from that of a judge of the underworld. He first ferried the souls of the dead, then judged the common people.
Jian Wushuang recalled this legend. The two were different methods to achieve the same result. The solution was in the legend.
He really wasn't good at ferrying souls.
However, if he wanted to ferry these wandering souls across the other side, he didn't have to walk the bridge.
