Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 260 – Feeding demons

That was a memory about Tianmen Town, lasting for several months.

In Su Yun's memory of unsealing, he saw many children, all around his age.

They lived together in Tianmen Town. On the seventh day of each month, Qu Bo and others would lead a child into the Ghost Market of Tianmen.

They walked along the market quickly. In Su Yun's memory, it was always Qu Bo who led him through the market. Before entering the market, Qu Bo and others would first set up a rune wall in their memory.

The rune wall was divided into two systems, divine sealing and demonic sealing.

After making these arrangements, they would bring these children to the deepest part of the Ghost Market. They would walk for an unknown distance until the Ghost Market and even themselves were all gray.

In the mist, they found huge divine and demonic beings, some of which had turned into fossils.

Su Yun remembered that Qu Bo would let these children approach, and when the children got close, the petrified divine and demonic beings would wake up and grab the children to devour them.

At this moment, the seal on the children's eyebrows would suddenly burst, sealing the divine and demonic beings that had not fully awakened behind the rune wall.

He also remembered that after returning to Tianmen Town, some of the children's heads would suddenly explode, and terrifying divine and demonic beings would escape.

At this time, Qu Bo and others would activate the pre-arranged seals to capture these huge divine and demonic beings and seal them in the spiritual realms of other children.

"This is already the seventy-sixth one. Can this child withstand it?"

In Su Yun's memory, the face of Auntie Luo appeared, and the kind old woman gently stroked his head.

Qu Bo said, "He is pure and superior in spirit, so he should be able to withstand it. As long as he seals these divine and demonic beings, we can refine them and perfect Tianmen, obtaining the secret of immortality!"

...

Su Yun only remembered this memory segment, and other memories gradually became blurred.

However, he suddenly realized that the rune wall was no longer mysterious to him. He could suddenly understand the various changes and details of the runes on the rune wall!

Whether it was divine sealing or demonic sealing, he remembered them clearly!

Because he had watched Qu Bo and others display these seals over and over again, imprinting them in his memory!

With the awakening of his memory, these divine sealing and demonic sealing runes became part of his memory!

Su Yun closed his eyes, countless runes flickered in his mind, allowing him to understand the knowledge hidden behind these divine sealing and demonic sealing runes.

After a while, he opened his eyes, feeling calm and composed.

"The divine and demonic beings in my memory can no longer invade my body!"

He smiled and suddenly felt a thought in his heart, "That's right, there's also a taste!"

His memory of unsealing surged up, and Su Yun vividly remembered the strange taste in the depths of the Ghost Market. The deeper they went, the stronger the taste became.

It was a taste of FǔBài. When he first entered the underground city of Jiéhuī in the previous world, he smelled the taste of FǔBài in the world's vitality, which was very similar to the taste of FǔBài in the Ghost Market!

"It's the smell of Jiéhuī!"

"These divine and demonic beings turned into fossils probably because of Jiéhuī!"

This memory of Su Yun surged up, causing him to ponder whether there was any connection between the Jiéhuī in the depths of the Ghost Market and the Jiéhuī City?

Why did these divine and demonic beings like Yinglong choose to sleep there?

"Young man, don't think too much."

Yinglong appeared in his spiritual realm, and his voice rolled like thunder, "Tianmen is a place close to the immortal realm. We age slower there, not because of Jiéhuī."

"Tianmen? Aging slower?"

Su Yun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old brother, is there any connection between Tianmen and Tianmen Yuan?"

"Tianmen Yuan, you call it the city wall of the celestial city, but for the immortal realm, Tianmen Yuan is the Great Wall that separates the mortal world from the immortal realm."

Yinglong said, "In our immortal realm, we call Tianmen Yuan the Beimian Great Wall. The martial immortal who guards the Beimian Great Wall has extraordinary strength, and his treasure is an immortal sword."

Su Yun's heart throbbed, "Martial immortal? Immortal sword?"

"Yes. The swordsmanship of the martial immortal is unparalleled in the world. No divine or demonic being can sneak past his Beimian Great Wall. Moreover, the Beimian Great Wall is extremely long and endless. It is almost impossible to sneak past it."

Yinglong stretched his body, his wings almost filling the spiritual realm, and said, "So I walked for half a day and then lay down to sleep. I was too lazy to sneak past. Five thousand years ago, many guys wanted to sneak back, but I estimated that they died on the way and couldn't pass through the Beimian Great Wall."

Su Yun thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Old brother, is this martial immortal a sword?"

Yinglong laughed, "How could he be a sword? The martial immortal is naturally an immortal!"

Su Yun blinked his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and gathered his courage to ask, "Then, could the martial immortal have already died?"

"How is that possible?"

Yinglong laughed out loud, "Even if I die, the martial immortal is impossible to die! What kind of existence is he? Underneath his Beimian Great Wall, there are countless galaxies, countless worlds... Wait a minute, Jiuying is nearby! This old guy's strength has indeed recovered a lot!"

"Yinglong, you never mentioned why there is a smell of Jiéhuī in the immortal realm?" Su Yun suppressed his doubts.

He stood at the bow of the ship and looked ahead, only to see an island appearing on the sea surface. In the center of the island was a large volcano, emitting billowing smoke. Occasionally, there would be flashes of fire in the smoke, as if some monster was moving in the volcano.

"Kiki, kiki!"

The laughter of a baby came from the sky. The people on the ship looked up and saw thousands of Xiaoying flying over, each Xiaoying clutching a drowned person with its sharp claws.

These Xiaoying flew towards the volcano, and at this moment, a sea breeze blew away the thick smoke on the island. It revealed a figure of immense height in the volcano's crater. It was a demonic being, with nine upper bodies.

Its lower body was submerged in the volcano, and its upper body had nine heads and eighteen arms. Its face looked like a child, with snake-like hair dancing. Some of its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose spewed flames, while others spewed water. When water and fire met, thick smoke billowed!

Su Yun carefully observed and realized that the volcano was not a real volcano. It was the flames flowing down from Jiuying that melted the rocks, making it look like a volcano!

Countless Xiaoying flew to the side of this terrifying demonic being Jiuying and dropped the bodies of the drowned people.

Jiuying's eighteen large hands grabbed and caught these bodies, sending them into its mouth. It made baby-like cries as it grabbed these bodies. When it grabbed these bodies, Su Yun saw chains entwined around it.

"It turns out to be feeding demons!"

Yinglong said, "Xiaoying is just a creature created by this demonic being Jiuying, specifically used to feed itself! It causes maritime disasters and kills people on passing ships to feed these demons! In the past, it was difficult for you spiritualists to cross the sea, so it couldn't catch people to eat. Now that there are frequent commercial ships, it has eaten so many people and absorbed their spirits. Its strength has probably greatly increased."

Shuiheng Zhusi also noticed the anomaly ahead and quickly turned the ship around, maneuvering away.

Su Yun activated his Heavenly Eyes and suddenly saw a piece of dragon scale flying out of his spiritual realm, landing on top of Jiuying's head, and shining down. Jiuying was instantly flattened and turned into a huge Jiuying imprint on the altar.
