Su Fang had been cultivating constantly. Other than going out to eat, he spent all his time cultivating in his room.
After midnight, Su Fang gained another chance to comprehend something.
This time, Su Fang took out the ring he had obtained during the day and examined it with the [Maxed-Out Comprehension System].
[Soul-Eating Ring, seventh-grade high-tier soul spiritual treasure. Contains a vast amount of soul power. Those with insufficient soul power who probe it with divine sense will have their entire soul actively devoured. Comprehend it?]
"[Soul-Eating Ring], and it's something that devours people's souls!"
After learning this, Su Fang still felt fortunate.
This time, he had truly been incredibly lucky. If not for the system, this ring might really have devoured his soul power and killed him.
"I didn't expect it to be a soul-type spiritual treasure as high as the seventh grade!" Su Fang looked at the ring.
Soul-type spiritual treasures were ten times more precious than ordinary spiritual treasures.
"The [Gods and Devils Cemetery] really is a place where treasures lie everywhere. I've actually encountered two high-grade spiritual treasures here that are normally difficult to come by."
To him, this [Gods and Devils Cemetery] was not a bad thing at all. Instead, it was a wonderful place that could continuously make him stronger.
Moreover, the [Gods and Devils Cemetery] contained many strange and bizarre things, filling Su Fang with curiosity.
However, his first task now was still to become stronger.
To survive here, it would be difficult to stay alive without sufficient strength.
Most importantly, if he never aged, many people here would probably make a move against him.
That was easy to understand. Even if it were him, seeing someone who could remain unaged here would pique his interest, and he might even force them to reveal the reason.
After thinking it over, Su Fang felt that he had to make some changes.
He had to blend in here and avoid drawing attention from others.
After all, his current strength was far too low. He had no ability whatsoever to protect himself.
"Since even I was able to obtain two cultivation techniques that can clear away Yin Qi, why can't other people do the same?"
"Could it be that they simply haven't obtained any?"
Su Fang still could not figure it out. He did not think it was because his luck was especially good.
Even the first volume of the Profound Yin Art he had obtained before could drive away the Yin Qi that invaded his body. Could others not obtain similar cultivation techniques?
The Profound Yin Art was merely a third-grade cultivation technique. It was not particularly advanced. If even such a technique could dispel Yin Qi, did others not have techniques better than the Profound Yin Art?
"No matter what, I still need to make myself more or less like everyone else. Only then can I avoid being noticed."
Su Fang could not figure it out and decided to stop thinking about it.
Starting tomorrow, he would have to let that Yin Qi enter his body on its own, and he could not dispel it.
He had to keep his appearance roughly similar to the others'. Even if he was not as aged as them, he could not remain completely unchanged.
Otherwise, people would notice him.
When they had eaten yesterday, Brother Meng had clearly already found this strange.
After figuring this out, Su Fang looked at the [Soul-Eating Ring] in his hand.
The reason he had been unable to remain in those spaces for long before was related to soul power.
The stronger his soul power, the longer he could stay in that space, and the more he could comprehend.
"This [Soul-Eating Ring] really came like rain after a long drought. I just happened to lack soul power, and now it has been delivered right to my door."
By using the Maxed-Out Comprehension System to comprehend what was inside the [Soul-Eating Ring], Su Fang did not need to worry about safety.
Su Fang began comprehending the [Soul-Eating Ring].
The next second, Su Fang's soul arrived in another space once more.
It was a dark world, and the entire sky was filled with clusters of black energy.
Those energy clusters flew everywhere through the sky, making Su Fang deeply curious about what they were.
Just then, one cluster of black energy suddenly flew toward Su Fang.
Pfft!
The energy cluster flew directly into Su Fang's body, making him extremely worried. He hurriedly checked himself.
"Seems like I'm fine." The next second, Su Fang felt utterly terrible—no, rather, his entire soul body felt terrible.
Su Fang felt pain!
A heart-rending, lung-splitting pain, agony that drilled straight into his core.
What did soul pain feel like?
Anyway, Su Fang could not describe it. Whoever experienced it would understand.
The crucial thing was that the black energy in the sky seemed to have found its target and swarmed toward where Su Fang was.
The moment Su Fang saw that, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't... ah!!!!! (;′??Д??`)"
Pain that pierced straight through his heart!
It was as though he could feel his own body growing.
Su Fang discovered that he really was growing. This growth was the growth of his soul power.
Those black energies were actually all soul power.
And they were things that could directly increase his soul power.
But damn it, being forcibly fused into his soul truly hurt like hell!
In any case, Su Fang could not even faint. He was already a soul body now; even unconsciousness was nothing more than a luxury.
Have you ever experienced being forced to increase your soul power without being able to resist?
Have you ever experienced that feeling of helplessness?
Have you ever experienced screaming your throat raw while no one paid you any attention?
Su Fang was experiencing it now.
Fortunately, he did not know how much time had passed before Su Fang finally found himself back in reality.
But Su Fang was drenched from head to toe.
Not from peeing himself.
He was soaked through with sweat.
Su Fang panted heavily. Even now, lingering fear remained in his heart.
Right now, he only wanted to sleep. He wanted to think about nothing and simply sleep quietly.
The next day, Su Fang slept until he woke naturally.
He had no idea what time it was.
Anyway, within the [Gods and Devils Cemetery], the difference between day and night was... no difference at all.
Su Fang simply could not tell what time it was.
However, outside Brother Meng's place, there was a timekeeping device, something like a clock.
It was a very ancient stone structure that looked like it had been there for quite some time.
After getting up and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Su Fang left his room. When he rushed onto the street, he encountered several lunatics babbling mad nonsense.
One lunatic even claimed that he was the reincarnation of a Martial God, and that he had descended into the mortal world merely to travel among mankind.
Another lunatic kept talking to the air, as though there were someone standing beside him.
Su Fang heard crying. It came from an old woman. Perhaps she was not even thirty years old, but in Su Fang's eyes, she was already an old woman.
The old woman cried for quite a while, then suddenly burst into laughter. Before long, she began crying again.
And so it went—crying, laughing, crying, laughing... endlessly repeating.
It was more fitting to call this place a madhouse, because there truly were not many normal people here.
Su Fang looked at the timekeeping device and found that it was already afternoon.
Su Fang realized that he had really slept for a long time.
Since he was already here, Su Fang walked into the house where Brother Meng was staying.
This place could be considered the core of the entire [Gods and Devils Cemetery].
However, when Su Fang entered, he unexpectedly discovered that there were other people inside.
Su Fang initially thought these people had come to send prisoners in as well, but that did not seem to be the case.
Because they were not the guards stationed outside the gates of the [Gods and Devils Cemetery].
Su Fang carefully examined their attire. They seemed to be guards, and they looked very much like people from the imperial court.
"Judging from their clothing, they don't seem to be ordinary guards. I wonder where they came from."
Su Fang was extremely curious. He had wanted to enter, but those guards stopped him, saying that matters were being discussed inside and telling him to wait outside.
Su Fang did not mind. Waiting was fine. He had nothing to do anyway.
