An Inescapable Predicament
Luo Zheng immediately realized the severity of the problem.
But he also had a question in his mind. "Since the whirlpool won't disappear, wouldn't the Sea of True Intent be filled with many whirlpools?"
Ling Shuang nodded. "Yes! According to their calculations, there are about 1,200 Great Whirlpools … "
The whirlpools in the Sea of True Intent began to appear in the last 20,000 years.
These whirlpools had a special magical power. Once someone was sucked in, they couldn't leave.
In the beginning, these whirlpools only appeared in the sixth to ninth segment lines. At that time, many creatures were sucked in.
Many extremely talented creatures were trapped here and couldn't cross the maelstrom even after spending their entire lives trying. Their great future prospects were ruined.
During that time, the creatures that entered the Sea of True Intent were trembling with fear. They constantly observed the flow of the water, afraid of being sucked into the whirlpools.
Later, someone thought of a special method. They used the method of making soul elixirs to bring a special dye into the Sea of True Intent and poured it into the whirlpools.
Once the whirlpools were formed, the waters were completely isolated from the outside world. When others crossed the Sea of True Intent, they could see light green or light yellow spiraling waters from afar. They could choose to avoid them from afar.
These whirlpools gradually spread to the periphery of the Sea of True Intent. In the past few years, whirlpools had appeared in the fifth and fourth segment lines, but no whirlpools had appeared in the first to third segment lines.
"I didn't expect the whirlpools to appear in the second segment lines. We just happened to encounter them," Ling Shuang said in distress.
Luo Zheng looked at the Sea of True Intent boats rushing over and said, "Isn't it meaningless for them to retreat like this?"
"Yes, as long as we are sucked into the whirlpools, it means we are isolated from the Sea of True Intent. No matter how hard we struggle, we can't break out," Ling Shuang sighed.
"Hua la, hua la …"
As they spoke, the Sea of True Intent boats swept past Luo Zheng and Ling Shuang and rushed behind them.
"Maybe there is a way to break out. Let's go and take a look," Luo Zheng comforted Ling Shuang when he saw her depressed mood.
Ling Shuang curled her lips. She had been waiting for Luo Zheng, which was why she had fallen into the Great Whirlpool. Otherwise, with her ability, she would have already crossed the five-segment line.
However, she also knew that she was willing to wait for Luo Zheng. Now, other than admitting that she was unlucky, there was nothing to complain about.
After Luo Zheng turned the bow of the True Meaning boat around, with a thought, the boat followed behind Luo Zheng and glided away.
Now, it wasn't only the human race that reacted. The other races seemed to have understood as well. One by one, they turned their True Intent boats around and scrambled to return.
Not long after, Luo Zheng saw the row of True Meaning boats of the Human Race stopping somewhere on the sea.
It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of their boat. No matter how hard they tried, they were unable to break through this wall!
"Why am I so unlucky? I've just comprehended the True Intent, and I've already fallen into the maelstrom!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Those rumors aren't true! There must be a way out! "
The Human Race let out unresigned howls as if the sky was collapsing.
Those who wanted to conquer the Paramita Sea all hoped that they could set foot on the other shore. Falling into the maelstrom was akin to ruining their great future. How could they be willing?
"Ahwooh!"
"Ahwooh …"
"Gugugu …"
The True Meaning boats of the other races were similarly unable to leave the maelstrom. All of them let out all sorts of howls and howls, using their own race's language to express their unwillingness.
Luo Zheng stepped on the True Meaning boat and approached the edge of the maelstrom. He could clearly see two streams of water flowing in different directions converging. When Luo Zheng's boat rushed towards the converging point, he felt an invisible force pushing his boat to the side.
"Is this the power of the water flow? That's not possible … "
The water flow near this line was much more turbulent than here, but he was still able to rush over. The water flow here was very gentle and couldn't stop Luo Zheng from crossing.
Following which, Luo Zheng turned the True Meaning boat horizontally and even tried to reverse it. He used a few methods and even used all his strength to drive the True Meaning boat forward.
But without exception, he was still trapped in the maelstrom!
"It's useless …" Ling Shuang said dejectedly. "There was once someone who used the spirit soul chain to throw the boat into the maelstrom, but they couldn't pull the True Meaning boat out. They tried all methods to get out and even tried to pull people out and abandon the True Meaning boat … but they all failed …"
The person Ling Shuang was talking about was her cousin. Five years ago, he was trapped in one of the maelstrom in the six-segment line.
Before he was trapped, her cousin had tried all sorts of methods. The elders in her family were also extremely powerful in the mother world, but they couldn't save her cousin.
In these few years, she had watched her cousin degenerate from a dazzling genius into a good-for-nothing who drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day.
Not long ago, she was still thinking of ways to console her cousin. She didn't expect it to be her turn now!
Just as Luo Zheng was trying, the wolf-shaped creature drove the True Meaning boat over and said in a half-baked language, "Human, human … do you have a way to leave this place …"
"Get lost!"
Ling Shuang was already in a bad mood, but when she heard the wolf-shaped creature's words, she exploded.
"Little girl of the human race, do you know who I am …" The wolf-shaped creature didn't know where Ling Shuang got her temper from.
At this moment, the soul necklace on Ling Shuang's chest suddenly exploded with a powerful aura. The small sword between her eyebrows shot towards the wolf-shaped creature's Yang soul.
"Pop!"
Following an explosion, the wolf-shaped creature's Yang soul was pierced through by the small sword.
The wolf-shaped creature seemed to have been immobilized. It stood motionless on the boat, and the True Meaning boat began to fall apart, slowly sinking into the sea of True Meaning!
In the blink of an eye, the wolf-shaped creature was killed by Ling Shuang.
"So strong!"
Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng's eyes flashed.
He knew that "Xiao Shuang" had an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect her Yang soul to have such strength in her anger.
When the other wolf-shaped creatures saw their comrade killed, they all howled in anger. However, they were still intelligent creatures. They knew that this human girl wasn't to be trifled with, so how could they dare to come over?
After venting her anger, Ling Shuang sighed. "Looks like I can only choose to reincarnate … If you, Luo Zheng, can come to the mother world, I can help you extract the flame of memory and help you be reborn …"
The only way to break the maelstrom was to reincarnate, because the maelstrom only trapped the soul.
Reincarnation was equivalent to placing the flame of memory into a brand new soul and starting over in a brand new shell.
