Inside the endless abyss, Ling Xian was puking out fresh blood that was as black as ink. Black air was rising from it, demonic and eerie.
It was obvious that he was cursed.
What could he do? To help the beast leave safely, Ling Xian had to transfer most of his energy to it. Because of this, he naturally couldn't stop it.
"Ehem … ehem … I was cursed after all." Ling Xian puked out two mouthfuls of blood. He was somewhat bitter and somewhat hopeless.
The Abyss of Heaven was the only way for him to leave the Xuan Wu Continent. But he had already tried. Even taking a step forward was difficult, let alone leaving.
Yet the Abyss of Heaven was very special. The stronger one's cultivation level was, the harder it was to pass. In other words, his future hopes were very slim.
"Could it be … I have to cultivate myself?" Ling Xian mumbled to himself and got rid of that thought.
Ignoring the question of whether or not he can handle the curse without cultivation, without cultivation, even if he leaves, what's the point?
Destroying one's cultivation level is the same as destroying one's foundation. Even Ling Xian wasn't confident he could return to his peak.
Therefore, Ling Xian was bitter and hopeless. Especially after sensing the terror of the curse, his hopelessness intensified.
Based on what he sensed, this curse won't take his life right away. But every second, it was eating away at his energy, or in other words, his lifespan. In other words, if he doesn't get rid of the curse, he will die before long.
"Legend has it that a God Emperor once entered this place. When he returned, he was already on the verge of death. Not long after, he passed away."
"I think he was cursed."
"How can I defend against a curse that even an God Emperor can't lift?"
Ling Xian was full of bitterness. He knew that this time, there was no way he could escape.
The power of the curse was far too powerful. Though he didn't die immediately, it was eating away at his lifespan. With his current capabilities, he could at most last another 10 years.
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian feel hopeless?
However, he was someone with a strong mentality. Even though he was at the end of his rope, he didn't want to give up. Plus, he was already in this state. He might as well use the last of his energy to protect the beast.
At this moment, Ling Xian summoned the Flower of Dao and the Flame of Purity and used them on the beast.
In this way, the void beast naturally had nothing to worry about, and it soon disappeared without a trace.
"I hope that you can safely pass through Heaven Abyss."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Other than bitterness on his pale face, there was disappointment.
To him, not being able to leave the Black Tortoise Continent was already a huge blow. In addition to the curse that constantly nibbled away at his life force, who could be dispirited?
Even with Ling Xian's strong determination, he was hit hard. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was even more depressed than when he faced off against the Emperor of God.
"This time, I'm afraid there's really no hope …"
Ling Xian's eyes were lifeless as if he had lost his soul. His entire being was shrouded by hopelessness.
He just stared blankly ahead, as if he could see through the darkness and see the light.
Unfortunately, it was just like that.
He could not see the light, and all he could see was darkness.
Just as Ling Xian's will was sinking, space twisted and a strange flower with a ghostly face appeared.
It was shaped like the face of a ghost, black as ink, and emitted a strange evil aura. At the same time, it released a milky-white holy light that illuminated the entire Heaven Abyss.
Instantly, Ling Xian raised his head.
It was not only because the flower was evil and holy, it was extremely contradictory. It was also because the Essence of Herbalism gave him information.
There was no history, no name, but one thing was clear.
An undead spiritual medicine!
This strange ghost faced flower was actually a rare immortal medicine since ancient times!
"Another one …"
Ling Xian's heart shuddered. Ever since he began his cultivation journey, he has encountered an undead spiritual medicine twice. Both times, it turned into a human. Though the one before him was not a human, its level was without a doubt – it was the legendary undead spiritual medicine.
Therefore, he was shocked. At the same time, he felt some hope.
An undead spiritual medicine was an item exclusive to immortals. It was immortal and indestructible. Even if an immortal dies, it will not go extinct. In other words, no matter what the strange flower's miraculous effects are, it has one basic ability – to prolong one's life.
What Ling Xian needed the most right now was longevity!
Therefore, without another word, he called out to the Cauldron of Mountain and River in an attempt to grab the ghostly face.
However, it didn't work.
The strange flower shook and an infinite amount of black energy wrapped around the Cauldron of Mountain and River. Then, the famous Eyes of Execution disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, Ling Xian's eyes began to bleed and his face turned even whiter.
This shocked him. He didn't think this strange flower would be this powerful. However, right now, he was in a hopeless situation. Only by consuming this Medicine of Immortality could he survive!
At this moment, Ling Xian no longer cared about the strangeness of the flower. He once again began his attack.
HOMMMM!
The abyss shook and heavenly light shot through the cloud.
Ling Xian formed the Disorder Conquering Fists and like a wild beast, he headed towards the undead spiritual medicine.
The result, however, was that he was trapped in midair.
The strange flower shook and waves of black energy intertwined. Like the legendary flying serpent, it locked onto Ling Xian.
This black energy was very eerie and had the ability to trap. Even if Ling Xian tried his best, he would find it hard to break free.
"Stop struggling. I didn't show myself just to let you eat me."
The ghost faced immortal medicine spoke in human language. Its voice was low and hoarse, like the voice of a demon in the dark night. It made everyone shudder.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned. He wasn't surprised that the flower could speak, he was surprised that the flower had no ill intentions.
"There is no need to be surprised. I showed myself to help you."
The ghost faced immortal medicine spoke, "But because you attacked me just now, I changed my mind."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. He didn't doubt the medicine's words, he was just curious as to why it was helping him.
"You can guess why I chose to help you. If you guess correctly, then I will help you."
The ghost faced immortal medicine swayed, "If I'm wrong, then you can await your death."
Hearing this, Ling Xian fell into deep thought.
It was obvious that the reason why the ghost faced immortal medicine appeared was because of some reason. The only possibility was the Undead Spiritual Medicine inside the Palace of Fortune.
Back then, he helped the woman in white regain control of the garden and acquired a Leaf of the Undead. Then, when he met the woman in green, it was because of this Leaf of the Undead that he received help.
In other words, the reason why the ghost faced immortal medicine appeared was because of this.
Ling Xian softly grinned, "If I am not wrong, it is because of the Leaf of the Undead inside me."
"Smart."
The ghost faced immortal medicine swayed, "If you didn't eat that person's leaf, I wouldn't have shown myself."
"I guessed correctly. You can help me now, right?" The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed an ecstatic smile.
He didn't care why the ghost faced immortal medicine appeared. Since it showed itself, then it had the confidence to help him. Because of this, he was naturally quite happy.
"Because of that person, of course I will help you. However, I can only remove half of the curse."
The ghost faced immortal medicine softly sighed, "You will have to rely on yourself for the rest."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned.
