I Have Awakened The Deduction System

Chapter 281 Channeling Of The Soul

Half an hour later!

Everyone is really lucky. There are actually ten Corpse flowers here. Shangguan Fei smiled and said in one breath,

"Really? It's definitely enough for each of us to make a prediction!" He Youliang said excitedly as he clapped.

"I didn't expect that we would be so lucky. Not only did we encounter the River of the Dead, but we also found ten Corpse flowers!" Gu Mingzhou was also very happy, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Thanks to Island Master Shangguan's good leadership! If I follow you, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the door!" before Gu Mingzhou could finish his sentence, the Wu Ji sect patriarch said coldly.

"You!" Gu Mingzhou was about to get angry when he saw Shangguan Fei looking over angrily. He immediately ignored the ancestor of Wu Ji.

"I've said before that since everyone came together, everyone will naturally have a share. Let's cut to the chase. Everyone, quickly sit down and open your souls. I'll guide everyone to the Corpse flower!" Shangguan Fei acted as the peacemaker again.

Gu Mingzhou and the others couldn't wait for the River of the Dead.

Now that they heard Shangguan Fei's words, they immediately put aside their grudges and sat down cross-legged on the wet riverbank. They closed their eyes, exuded pressure, and opened their souls.

"Island Master Shangguan, since there are extra Corpse flowers, please help me to draw in one as well. I also want to try it!" Jing Wudao suddenly walked to Shangguan Fei's side and said.

Shangguan Fei looked at Jing Wudao in surprise and only nodded slightly after a long while.

"Many thanks!" Jing Wudao cupped his hands and thanked Shangguan Fei when he saw that he had agreed.

After saying that, he immediately sat down cross-legged and released a powerful pressure.

"Brother Wudao!" Gu Mingzhou called out uneasily.

He had already understood that Shangguan Fei had probably already seen through Jing Wudao's identity, so he had deliberately warned him.

Even though Shangguan Fei had warned him in advance that the Corpse flower was only effective on people with a physical body, Jing Wudao still went up, which made Gu Mingzhou a little worried.

"I'm fine. The River of the Dead only has an impression on my memories. It can't hurt me!" Jing Wudao, who was about to close his eyes, consoled Gu Mingzhou softly.

Jing Wudao turned around as he spoke, and a scorching pressure suddenly rose.

Gu Mingzhou naturally understood what Jing Wudao meant. Without saying anything else, he also sat down cross-legged, released his pressure, and opened up his soul.

"Everyone, get ready. I'll start the channeling of the soul!" Shangguan Fei's face was extremely grim, and his hands suddenly changed into a Daoist seal in front of his chest.

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Mingzhou, who had just sat down, felt the air around him sink, and a hot vitality suddenly entered his open soul.

The entire space suddenly trembled!

Heaven and earth darkened, and heaven and earth were reversed!

Pressure, endless pressure.

It was so heavy that it felt like he was suffocating. It filled every corner of Gu Mingzhou's body and pressed down on all his cells.

"Ah!"

Gu Mingzhou finally couldn't bear it. He let out a hoarse cry from his throat, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

However, it was pitch-black in front of him.

It was the same darkness as when the bronze door first opened. It was so dark that it was terrifying.

? "Where is this place?" Gu Mingzhou asked in confusion as he looked around.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was not sitting on the bank of the River of the Dead but in darkness.

He couldn't tell the world apart, he couldn't tell the direction, and there was only darkness around him, endless darkness.

He Youliang and the others, who had been sitting next to him, had all disappeared. Jing Wudao was also not by his side. Even Shangguan Fei, who had guided everyone to the Corpse flower, had disappeared.

A sudden sense of loneliness and helplessness overwhelmed her.

"Brother Wudao!" Gu Mingzhou looked around and walked aimlessly in the dark, shouting loudly.

He couldn't stand loneliness, or rather, he was afraid of loneliness.

After all his family members passed away, Gu Mingzhou looked like he had made it.

However, in reality, there was always someone by his side.

Cultivation has always been a long and tedious process.

In addition to his parents' passing, Gu Mingzhou was actually very lonely.

Although he didn't say it out loud, he was still terrified of this feeling.

But now, he suddenly felt helpless, lonely, and had a vague sense of fear.

Furthermore, this overwhelming darkness had no elemental energy in the air.

He was even surprised to find there was no elemental energy in his body.

This meant that Gu Mingzhou's current existence was like that of an ordinary person. This made him even more panicked. In this cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak, losing one's strength meant death.

And in the pitch-black space around him, he felt as if there were countless pairs of eyes watching him.

However, when he looked back, he only saw darkness.

"Detestable!" Gu Mingzhou roared.

It was as if he was the only one left in the world. There was not even a single echo even when he roared hoarsely.

Darkness and confusion swept through his heart in the quiet and empty environment.

This was what he had felt since he opened his eyes. Other than that, he felt nothing else.

He identified a direction and began to walk forward with large strides.

As he walked, he started to run. He ran crazily in the darkness!

There was no use for vision here because there was only darkness.

Even though he couldn't see, he could still run with ease.

He wanted to run to the end of this darkness. To run out of this unbearable place.

The sound of footsteps rang out in the empty darkness. Although there was no echo, it was still particularly clear.

He didn't know how long he had run.

Two hours, four hours, or even more...

Even when he was exhausted, he was still running with all his might. He was running in the right direction.

Everything in the world had an end. The end of life was death, and the end of death was life.

The ultimate of light was darkness, and the ultimate of darkness was, naturally, light.

Gu Mingzhou wanted to run to the end of the darkness, find the end, to find the light.

But in the end, he still failed to achieve his goal.

After forcing himself to run for a distance, the exhausted Gu Mingzhou finally could not hold on any longer.

Plop!

The muffled sound was particularly ear-piercing in the dark.

Gu Mingzhou's entire body ached, and he collapsed powerlessly. He revealed a bitter smile helplessly and wanted to close his eyes.

He even felt that he was about to be devoured by the darkness. Then, he closed his eyes.

"Gu Mingzhou!"

Just as Gu Mingzhou was about to close his eyes completely, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the darkness, causing Gu Mingzhou to open his eyes again.

"Brother Wudao?" Gu Mingzhou forced his weak body to sit up, looked up at the darkness above, and shouted.

"It's me! This is just an illusion created by the River of the Dead to predict the difficulties they will encounter in the future. It's not real. Don't sink into oblivion!" Jing Wudao's voice rang out again. Although it was urgent, it was still extremely clear in Gu Mingzhou's ears.

"This is an illusion? Then what should I do?" Gu Mingzhou forced his weak body to stand up. He staggered two steps, panting heavily, and looked up to ask.
