Convergence III

"What determines the division of each level?" Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment, then stopped dwelling on Spirit Flight Heaven's topic and turned to ask other questions.

"You should have felt it just now, that's it, you've passed through a barrier membrane."

"For you, I saw that there was very little resistance when you rushed up. I suppose many people outside remember you, right?" the man guessed.

"How enviable. Haha. To be remembered by so many people, you must be an extraordinary person. Unlike me, I am just an ordinary little person."

"If you can climb up from that kind of environment, even if you were ordinary before, you won't be ordinary anymore," Zhang Rongfang replied.

"Since you've forgotten your name, how about I give you a code name for now?"

"A name? You're willing to remember me?" The man seemed slightly taken aback, quite surprised.

"It's just a code name. It's just for convenience." Zhang Rongfang was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the other party had reacted so strongly to such a small matter.

"That's the same." The man seemed to be in a better mood. "You're such a kind person. If there's anything else you need, just let me know, and I'll do everything I can to help!"

"Since you say you climbed up from the bottom, then I'll call you Bottom Crawler. We'll talk about your real name when you remember it," Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.

"Bottom Crawler? That sounds awful, but at least you have a name." The man seemed a little disgusted, but still didn't refuse. "Here, it's already a great privilege that someone is willing to remember you. Do you have any other questions? Feel free to ask."

He crawled slowly, as if trying to get closer.

"Can you tell me what I need to be careful about when operating here? For example, dangers, Taboo, etc." Zhang Rongfang asked a general question directly.

"Ah," Bottom Crawler groaned, "This question reminds me of something unpleasant. Many people, many living things, when they come down from above and encounter me, ask similar questions."

But so many of them went down and never came back. You...

He seemed to want to offer some advice, but he held back.

"Forget it, you guys are all after those endless treasures in the Sea of Forgetfulness. You won't listen to any advice. I'll just give you a brief overview," Bottom Crawler sighed.

"Wait! There's treasure in the Sea of Forgetfulness?" Zhang Rongfang was taken aback and interrupted the other person.

"Of course. The Sea of Forgetfulness is home to countless powerful beings whose wills and bodies fell there after being forgotten."

That place can give birth to countless terrifying relics, and naturally there are also many ancient treasures that have not yet been fully digested.

For example, the treasures, divine bodies, and even the divine will that has lost its self-awareness of extremely powerful Gods and Buddhas.

If someone is lucky enough to absorb a lost, self-destructed divine will, they can instantly become a new, powerful deity. From mortal to supreme power, all it takes is a little bit of luck. Doesn't that sound incredibly tempting?

The words of the Bottom Crawler were full of seduction and enticement.

"The possibility is very low, isn't it?" Zhang Rongfang.

"Yeah, anyway, I've been here for way too long and I've never seen anyone succeed. But quite a few people who got some little things and treasures have gone out." Bottom Crawler chuckled.

"As long as you're not greedy, it's still possible to make a profit."

"You haven't told me about the Taboo and dangers here," Zhang Rongfang said.

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry. I can sense that you are being watched by several different kinds of divine gazes. You are a person with secrets. Perhaps you also have extremely strong trump cards."

He paused.

"Never, never go below the ninth level again. Never approach the Sea of Forgetfulness again. Don't even go inside."

"Why!?" Zhang Rongfang sensed the seriousness in the other person's tone.

"Because," Bottom Crawler laughed. He slowly crawled closer, until the two could finally see each other's faces.

"Because even if you just stay, you will keep losing."

"Just like me now."

He suddenly raised his head.

His face, which had been hidden in the shadows and fog, was revealed.

Zhang Rongfang was suddenly stunned, completely frozen in place, unable to utter a word.

He had originally intended to ask about something new, but at that moment, the instant he saw the other person's face, all his thoughts vanished.

It was a smooth face, completely devoid of any facial features, not even having pores for breathing.

Like a blank sheet of paper, smooth and without any wrinkles.

It's as if they were born without eyes, ears, nose, or mouth.

But he had just vaguely seen Bottom Crawler eat a Grain Avoidance Pill that he had given him.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I can actually eat," Bottom Crawler said casually.

As he spoke, a thin crack appeared in his faceless face, and he threw something in and began to chew.

The slit seemed to appear suddenly; it was impossible to find at first.

"This is the price," Bottom Crawler. "If you want to go down there, you have to follow the rules and avoid the Taboo."

He paused, then continued.

"The biggest problem with the Sea of Forgetfulness is that the longer you stay on that level, the fainter your own existence becomes."

As time goes by, you will lose many things about yourself. For example, your appearance, your body, even everything!

Zhang Rongfang looked at the other person and suddenly remembered the Intuition Warning he had just received.

I was somewhat convinced.

"So, one last question: where should I go if I want to find you again next time?"

"Then let's come here. I've always been at the bottom of this level, neither up nor down," Bottom Crawler laughed.

A smile on a face without features looks like a wrinkled old potato.

"Remember to bring me lots of good food," he instructed.

"Definitely!" Zhang Rongfang prepared to leave.

He had already gained enough today. He needed to organize his information and refine his understanding of Great Abyss.

"By the way, do you know the names Emperor Earth and Chen Junchen?" Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly asked again.

"I don't know him," Bottom Crawler his head.

"Okay, then, see you next time," Zhang Rongfang said.

"Goodbye." Bottom Crawler waved.

Zhang Rongfang said no more, exerted his strength upwards, and his figure shot up and disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye.

One person Bottom Crawler, clinging to the stone wall, staring blankly in the direction he had gone. No one knew what they were thinking.

Before long, Zhang Rongfang retrieved the Blood Spots and escaped from Great Abyss once again.

It was already broad daylight outside.

It's obvious that a night has passed.

The blood in the pool was clearer than before, but still not as clear as it was initially.

After metabolism, nutrients need to be replenished again; these two steps cannot be performed simultaneously. They must be completed one stage at a time.

At this moment, on the edge of the blood pool, on the stone surface.

Invisible ripples suddenly spread through the air.

The ripples slowly gathered and grew larger, then whoosh! A figure burst out from the center and landed on the ground.

The vortex then disappeared.

"You're out? Did you find anything?" White Scale asked quickly.

"I met someone," Zhang Rongfang replied. "We'll talk about that later."

He quickly got up, grabbed paper and pen, and wrote down the information he had just received.

In the time that followed, he planned to focus on uncovering the secrets of that Bottom Crawler creature.

At the same time, a new blood pool can be built as a precaution for the future.

Blood pools are time-sensitive because blood becomes inactive after a certain period of time once it leaves the body.

Only by staying by his side could he replace the blood of the dead at any time.

Such a massive blood transfusion is a huge undertaking, so it's impossible to sustain if too much is produced.

Build only a few to maximize your efficiency in acquiring Attribute Points; that's enough.

He glanced at his current Attribute Points.

Available Attributes: 70 points.

Health: 1502.

'Building a blood pool requires a large amount of blood production, which delays and hinders my attribute accumulation. It also consumes a lot of nutrients and energy. And it takes too long, so I'll put it on hold for now. I'll add it again after I get through this critical period.'

Without hesitation, Zhang Rongfang added all his attributes to his health.

Life directly became 1572. A Warm Current appeared out of nowhere in his heart, surged, and spread to all parts of his body.

He could feel that his body's self-healing ability had increased slightly.

"Almost there. Almost there." Watching the blood pool slowly becoming clearer, Zhang Rongfang suppressed his emotions and closed his eyes to meditate.

Currently, he is not practicing the Illusory Image Talisman Method, but rather the Five Energies Merge to Origin Method, which he perfected himself. It is also known as the Five Hearts Qi Gathering Art.

As a newly created martial art, the Five Hearts Qi Gathering Art continues the various methods of gathering power that the Great Grandmaster later developed.

This is considered the most orthodox martial arts path in the Great Ling.

After the five elements of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, and pity are fully gathered and combined into one, one can reach the ultimate realm of Great Grandmaster gathers power.

Of course, Zhang Rongfang himself didn't know exactly how much the power would be enhanced.

However, the effect of gathering momentum is very obvious for Great Grandmaster.

He thought, even if it couldn't significantly improve his strength, it should still be useful in resisting the pressure from Gods and Buddhas, right? *** Great Capital.

The Great Sect Alliance, Heavenly Sincerity Palace.

Yue Dewen looked calmly at the four wolf-patterned Stag statues lying flat in front of him.

Behind him, Daoist Qing Yi and Kexiwo stood on either side, both looking at the statue with somewhat complicated expressions.

"This is the last one. Lao Yue, when are we leaving?" Kexiwo asked in a deep voice.

Of the five Sentient Spirit Pillar, only the last one from the Jade Void Palace remained, and it was not removed.

But even a fool could guess that the Spirit Flight Teaching would definitely gather a great deal of power at this last place.

They couldn't just let them continue to easily destroy the last base of the formation.

"We'll set off today," Yue Dewen said calmly. The smile he used to wear was gone from his face.

There was only a blank expression.

"I'll be in trouble with you two then."

"We all wither and die together, we all prosper and die together. What's the use of saying all this now?" Daoist Qing Yi's eyes flashed with divine light as he pondered the potential troubles.

"However, Brother Yue, with the world's power now united and invincible, this last array base should be a piece of cake."

"We've dealt with the White Ten Sect, the Heaven Lock Sect, the Po Suo Sect, and the Black Ten Sect, so there shouldn't be any major problems. As we approach the final moment, the Spirit Flight Teaching probably senses that they are about to face a great calamity, so some madness is to be expected," Kexiwo said with a smile.
