Just as Gu Qingfeng was puzzled, he saw a monk sitting cross-legged with his hands clasped together. His eyes were closed, and his whole body was glowing with a faint golden Light of Buddha. He was like a Buddha statue floating in the turbulent vortex.
Not long after, he saw another old man sitting cross-legged. However, he was not a monk, nor did he clasped his hands together. Instead, he was meditating. His whole body was glowing with a faint brilliance. His whole person looked like a statue, lifeless.
Gu Qingfeng did not know who this monk and the old man were. He only knew that these two people had completely sealed themselves with their lifetime's cultivation and fell into a state of deep sleep. It seemed that they were using this method to protect their physical bodies in the turbulent vortex.
This was a method that was not a method, and it was also a method of desperation. Since ancient times, when a great catastrophe occurred in the heavens, such as the end of an era and the arrival of the Great Path, many powerful cultivators would seal themselves and enter a state of deep sleep.
The reason why this method was not a method was that once one fell into a deep sleep, the soul, mind, consciousness, including the physical body, and everything else would enter a state of dead silence.
When would one wake up?
Where would one wake up?
Whether or not he could even wake up was still an unknown.
This thing was full of variables, and the variables were huge. If one was unlucky, one might sleep forever with no possibility of waking up.
Was it an exaggeration?
No!
It was not an exaggeration at all.
At the very least, based on Gu Qingfeng's experience over the years, although he had seen many supreme beings awaken from their deep slumber, even more supreme beings had fallen into eternal slumber. Their bodies had long since turned into bones, and their souls had long since turned into ashes. It was just that they themselves did not know it.
Even if one was lucky enough to wake up, they would be extremely weak. They would be as weak as a newborn baby. Not to mention meeting ordinary cultivators, they might be crushed to death by a stone. Therefore, before falling into a deep sleep, the powerful cultivators would choose a safer place. Few people would fall into a deep sleep in a dangerous place, especially in a turbulent vortex like this.
However, thinking about it carefully, in this turbulent vortex, no matter how strong one's cultivation was, there would be a time when it would be exhausted. Once the cultivation was exhausted, what awaited one was only death. Rather than that, it was better to seal oneself and take a gamble.
As Gu Qingfeng sank deeper and deeper into the turbulent vortex, he had already seen more than 30 powerful cultivators seal themselves and fall into a deep sleep.
There were also some like the Zen elders who took out their magic treasures and used the power of the magic treasures to resist the turbulent vortex.
At this time, it was important to have a powerful magic treasure. Although using the magic treasures also needed the support of one's own cultivation, it was much easier to use the magic treasures than using one's physical body, and it consumed less energy.
Of course.
The prerequisite was that one's magic treasure could withstand the impact of the turbulent vortex. In this kind of turbulent vortex, even the Forgotten Spaces exploded one after another. Not only the Forgotten Spaces, but even the void beasts born and raised in the Endless Sea were torn to pieces because they could not withstand the impact of the turbulent vortex. One could imagine how terrible the impact of the turbulent vortex was.
Not to mention that ordinary magic treasures would be annihilated in a snap of a finger, even those so-called Great Dao magic treasures would not be able to hold on for long. No matter what, it had to be a heavyweight magic treasure to be able to hold on in the turbulent vortex.
Gu Qingfeng had heard Mad Monk Daxing mention before that the Zen elders had a Great Treasury Formless Pagoda. It seemed to be a treasure of the Zen sect. Thinking about it, the pagoda just now should be the Great Treasury Formless Pagoda that Mad Monk Daxing mentioned.
Gu Qingfeng continued to drift in the turbulent vortex. The deeper he sank, the more terrifying the impact of the turbulent vortex was. His ability to drift became more and more unstable. After drifting for a while, he would be swallowed by the turbulent vortex. Gu Qingfeng thought that it was not a good idea to continue like this. He did not know how deep the turbulent vortex was. He did not even know if the vortex had an end. Gu Qingfeng did not know.
Logically speaking, every whirlpool should have a bottom and an end.
But that was only according to common sense.
Was there any common sense in this place?
This was the Endless Sea beyond the Heavens without any order or laws. Where did common sense come from? Who knew if the turbulent vortex had an end?
Could it be that he also tried to seal himself and fall into a deep sleep and enter a state of death?
After thinking about it, Gu Qingfeng rejected this idea.
Entering this turbulent vortex was already a gamble with fate. It could be said that his life and death was already uncertain. If he were to gamble with fate again under such circumstances, would there still be any hope of winning?
Moreover, although Gu Qingfeng would be swallowed by the turbulent vortex from time to time when he was drifting with the turbulent vortex, he could still persevere. For the time being, he had not reached the point where he had no other choice.
Taking a step back, even if he really could not persevere, he would rather be reborn in nirvana than seal himself.
If he were to be reborn in nirvana, he might be lucky enough to be reborn in the Great Wilderness. If he were to seal himself, even if he woke up, he was afraid that he would still not be able to leave this place.
Moreover, he had been reborn in nirvana many times. He more or less had some experience. Since he started cultivating, he had never sealed himself.
All of a sudden.
Gu Qingfeng suddenly saw an unfamiliar person in the turbulent vortex.
It was a black-robed man.
It was a man in black who was wearing a black robe and a hoodie. He had wrapped himself up tightly.
This black-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, quietly standing on a light ball.
Gu Qingfeng recognized this black-robed man. It was the mysterious black-robed man who had appeared with Water Moon Bodhisattva earlier.
Gu Qingfeng knew nothing about who this black-robed man was and what kind of existence he was. The only thing he knew was that this black-robed man gave him an illusory feeling. It felt very unreal, just like the feeling Jun Xuanji gave him.
In Gu Qingfeng's opinion, this black-robed man was most likely from the Daoless Era like Jun Xuanji.
He knew that the black-robed man was unfathomable. At this moment, seeing the black-robed man standing on the light ball, his body glowing with a faint black brilliance, as if he was not affected by the turbulent vortex at all, Gu Qingfeng was particularly shocked by this scene.
He could see that it was not that the black-robed man was not affected by the turbulent vortex, but that the black-robed man had been using a mysterious force to resist the turbulent vortex.
What kind of force was so powerful? To be able to resist the impact of the turbulent vortex so easily?
It was really so easy.
Although Gu Qingfeng could not see the black-robed man's appearance clearly, the black-robed man gave him a feeling that he was particularly calm and indifferent.
What made Gu Qingfeng feel even more strange was that he found that the black-robed man's power was actually familiar. It was not familiar, but a kind of deja vu feeling.
"You … shouldn't have come here …"
The black-robed man's voice suddenly sounded. It was a woman's voice.
