In the boundless darkness, time became blurry. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment had passed.
However, he clearly remembered that the mirror image had merged with his real body at the 23rd time.
He felt a sharp pain in his brain. Once again, he returned to his original state, and all the "wrong" thoughts were corrected. Not forgetting the "original intention" turned out to be such a headache.
The pain came and went quickly. He vaguely heard the sound of memory shattering. It was as clear as thin ice, and the fragments melted in the black water.
But he didn't know what he had forgotten. It was probably something not very important, but he couldn't help but tremble.
Through his self-awareness, he understood one thing. Nothing was absolutely unimportant. Important things were always made up of a lot of unimportant things. Behind heroic epics, there were always ups and downs.
Like a colorful picture, thick ink eroded from the surroundings. If this went on, how long could those so-called important things last?
In the void, he didn't lose power, but here, he was losing himself.
He felt a kind of strange black humor. Once he lost most of his memories, the Yang Spirit in hell was closer to the original meaning of the name "Li Qingshan".
If he were to ask, who was the real "Li Qingshan"?
The answer was very simple: whoever was stronger was "Li Qingshan"!
This was the world of cultivation. The collision of strength and the battle of wills was endless. The weak didn't deserve to bear this name, and the weak didn't deserve anything.
He had been cruising in the Ultimate for a long time, but he still didn't see anything, whether it was a ray of light or a speck of dust. There was only endless black water.
But in his mind, there was a clear "map". With the position of entering the Ultimate as the origin, he kept cruising around, and the trajectory of the navigation was like a whirlpool that continued to expand.
At the same time. He was still constantly releasing light and using "Mystic Light Illuminates All" to survey the surrounding thousands of miles, so this circle was very big.
But in the boundless Ultimate, he was still like a lost firefly. It was wasting light in vain.
However, this light was not only light, but also contained a message. Where the light was swallowed by the darkness, it continued to spread further with the deep black water as a medium.
The second new magical power of "Spirit Turtle Transformation".
This was a method of long-distance communication. He could communicate telepathically from a super long distance away, allowing him to spy on them with Mystic Light Illumination while giving orders at the same time.
Under normal circumstances, it did not seem to be of much use, but now it could be used as a signal tower. He kept sending out signals, hoping that the Sinkhole prisoner would receive them.
Because a message that was too complicated could easily be lost, in order to ensure that the signal could travel far enough, the message only had three words: Who am I?
Not only was the signal simplified to the extreme, but questions were also more likely to attract attention. If there was a potential enemy, it wouldn't expose his purpose. It would be treated as an ordinary spirit turtle that had sunk into deep thought.
Perhaps he was constantly reminding himself.
Everything was going according to plan. It was meticulous like a tortoise, but it was still a stupid method.
The future was bleak. Perhaps he would get a response in the next moment, or perhaps he would never get a response.
In the end, like a frog in warm water, it was gradually cooked. That's right, frogs weren't actually that stupid. As the Spirit Tortoise, perhaps the smartest species in the world, he was unable to escape this fate.
Thus, he began to spin endlessly in the endless black water.
The 108th time his mirror image overlapped with his main body. After the habitual pain, another part of his memory was lost.
The 108th time his mirror image overlapped with his main body. He could not remember a single book of the mountains and seas of books in the sky. Including the Unfettered Tome. That was the only title left.
How long had it been? A year and a half? Or eight to ten years?
He couldn't remember anymore? It was easy to calculate. The time of every overlap was basically the same, but now he had even forgotten about this. Moreover, he would forget it every time he tried to recollect it. This was because memorizing such information was completely meaningless. Instead, it would weaken his willpower.
Time became a blurry concept.
The 3528th time was not like he was spinning. Instead, the entire Sinkhole was spinning. The deathly stillness was just an illusion. In reality, it was a huge whirlpool that was spinning at an extremely high speed.
But just like how humans could not feel the rotation of the Earth, this whirlpool was too big. Moreover, his body maintained the same speed as the whirlpool, so he did not feel that he was moving on his own.
He thought he was advancing along a precise trajectory, but in reality, he was constantly approaching the centre of the whirlpool.
Of course, he was not certain whether this was real or just an illusion. With the loss of a large number of memories, everything became unclear.
Who am I for the 7,759th time?
He slowly closed his eyes. He had reached the ninth layer of the Spirit Turtle Transformation. Everything was over!
He had already sacrificed his name, but there was still no response.
Before despair could even surge out, it began to recede rapidly. He was as calm as he could be, and as tired as he could be.
With his final bit of willpower, he sent out a final message and fell into an eternal slumber.
"Who am I?!!!!"
Suddenly, a voice barged into his sea of consciousness. It was like a landslide, like thunder, like the roar of a million lions, rousing him from his slumber. He could not help but shrink back into his turtle shell.
The voice continued to reverberate violently. Even the turtle shell trembled as if it had become some kind of musical instrument.
Li Qingshan widened his eyes. Ecstasy surged through his heart. Although he had almost forgotten why he was ecstatic, he still felt happy.
"Have I found it?"
The silent, black water surged violently, forming countless whirlpools and streams. Every single whirlpool and stream was hundreds or thousands of times larger than him. Even a Daemon Emperor would be torn to pieces easily.
However, he was fearless. With the complete completion of the Spirit Turtle Transformation, he had already become a pure-blooded spirit turtle. Using every whirlpool as a marker and every stream as a path, he sped up into the depths of Ruin's End.
Suddenly, a lofty, rising and falling shadow appeared before him. It was like a huge, crouching beast, coming from the endless darkness and going into the endless darkness. Who knew how many thousand kilometers it was!
"It's a mountain!"
He had never thought there would be a day when he would be so surprised and so close to a mountain.
Not only was this Ruin's End, but he had also lost all of his memories regarding mountains, including his own name. This was equivalent to the first mountain he had ever seen in his life.
He approached it slowly. The tremendous sound originated from this mountain. The jagged, strange rocks and towering rocks were already inches away, but he did not discover anything else. Apart from mountains, there were only rocks.
He used the Profound Light Illuminates All and scanned the entire mountain range carefully. He discovered a few words seemed to be engraved on the most majestic mountain among the mountains.
He approached it and took a look. As it turned out, it was three huge words that spanned several thousand meters!
The name seemed rather familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it before. He still could not find anything alive, so he asked loudly, "Where are you?"
A voice a million times louder than his own replied, "I'm beneath your feet!"
Rumble! The black water surged and rose and fell, producing countless ocean currents.
Li Qingshan powered the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell and barely blocked the sound waves. He gazed at the mountains and came up with an idea. "You're crushed beneath the mountain!?"
He found this setting to be very familiar. He could not help but look around. Should there be some kind of golden sticker or something in the surroundings that he needed to remove so that he could continue westward and reach the peak of his life?
The voice laughed aloud instead, shaking the mountains. It replied with a question, "How am I crushed?"
Li Qingshan was taken aback. This was Ruin's End. Even this mountain should be floating in the black water, so it should not be crushed. "Then you're sealed in the centre of the mountain?"
"You're on my back."
"Surely not!"
Li Qingshan was taken aback. He pushed the Profound Light Illuminates All to the limit and tried to view the mountain range that stretched for several thousand kilometers as a single entity. Only then did he discover that it was like a crouching lion, and the mountain he stood on was the lion's towering back.
He had achieved the major accomplishment of the Spirit Turtle Transformation, so he was already relatively large, but he seemed like a flea on the lion's back.
Rumble!
The lion raised its head, causing the mountains to rise and fall. It let out a huge yawn, its two long teeth like two inverted peaks. It turned around and looked at him. Its brownish-yellow eyes were like two scorching suns, immediately dispelling the endless darkness.
"Little guy, who are you?"
"I'm … I'm not some little guy! Can you keep your voice down? "Li Qingshan knew what he was facing, but he did not feel any fear. Instead, he felt a great sense of familiarity.
"I can't, little guy." The lion rejected him without any hesitation.
The corner of Li Qingshan's mouth twitched. This bastard lion! Clearly, it had no awareness of being a prisoner.
The lion twitched its ears. "Pay attention to your thoughts. I can hear you."
"And who are you?" Li Qingshan vaguely guessed the lion's identity. He still managed to retain this information.
"I forgot!" The lion announced proudly. "But big brother once called me a stupid lion, so you can just call me 'Foolish Old Man'!"
Li Qingshan rolled his eyes. What was there to be proud of about being called a 'stupid lion'? Or maybe the one to be proud of was that 'big brother'! There was no need for him to explain anything. This person should have seen everything from him. But why did he find the word 'Foolish Old Man' a little familiar?
"Forget it. If I'm not wrong, you are the Great Saint of Moving Mountains, Lion Camel King!"
Lion Camel King glanced at the three words' Lion Camel Ridge ', "Yes, this is it."
"…"
