The undead fish nurtured by the River of the Undead?
Qin Chen nodded, suddenly squeezing with his right hand. With a pop, the undead fish was immediately crushed, and countless corrosive dead waters splashed onto Qin Chen's hand.
Qin Chen quickly refined this dead water, and in an instant, strands of undead laws were extracted by him.
“Hmm, there are indeed undead laws, but they contain many impurities. No matter how I refine it, a trace of subtle negative force will merge into my body. If I absorb too much, it could negatively affect my own origin,” Qin Chen murmured as he carefully sensed.
“Apart from this undead fish, what else is in the River of the Undead?” Qin Chen looked at the Prison Dragon Great Emperor.
The Prison Dragon Great Emperor hurriedly explained, “Aside from the undead fish, there are countless undead beings in the River of the Undead, varying in strength. Additionally, some top-tier experts have been sleeping within it for ages. If there’s too much commotion, it’s easy to wake them, which would bring trouble.”
“Sleeping top-tier experts?”
“Yes," the Prison Dragon Great Emperor nodded. "The River of the Undead is exceedingly powerful. In fact, any strong being that can enter this River of the Undead will come to comprehend and research it. Because of the existence of the River of the Undead, there have been so many great emperors in our Underworld during ancient times. Many of them broke through precisely because they gained insights while in the River of the Undead.”
As an old emperor of the Underworld, the Prison Dragon Great Emperor knew quite a bit.
“Is that so?” Qin Chen nodded in realization, then looked at the Prison Dragon Great Emperor. “Then how do I salvage beings that have fallen and reincarnated from the cosmic sea within this River of the Undead?”
Mo Li’s gaze suddenly fell upon the Prison Dragon Great Emperor, revealing an expression of anticipation.
The Prison Dragon Great Emperor was astonished. “Salvaging a specific undead? That’s simply impossible…”
Qin Chen frowned, and Mo Li’s face turned pale, his gaze icy as he said sternly, “How can it be impossible? I’ve heard that when beings fall in the cosmic sea, as long as their souls are not completely shattered and lost, their soul origins will be guided into the River of the Undead. They either wait for reincarnation or transform into undead. As long as you salvage them before they reincarnate, they can be saved. How could that be impossible?”
As he spoke, the intense killing intent radiating from Mo Li descended upon the Prison Dragon Great Emperor like a sharp blade, and the chilling aura caused goosebumps to instantly rise on the Prison Dragon Great Emperor’s body.
The Power of the Abyss within the Prison Dragon Great Emperor was dispelled by Mo Li. He didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly said under the gaze of Qin Chen and the others, “My Lord, this little brother is right. When beings from the living world fall, their souls will indeed be drawn into the River of the Undead, wandering here waiting for reincarnation—this part is true. This little brother also said that as long as you salvage them before their reincarnation, they can be saved, which is also correct…”
“Then why did you say it’s impossible…” Mo Li interrupted coldly before he could finish.
The Prison Dragon Great Emperor didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction; he could only smile bitterly and say, “You made two correct points, but it’s far too difficult to achieve.”
“First, you need to find the location of this undead in the vast River of the Undead. Just this difficulty alone is harder than looking for a needle in a haystack.”
“Do you know how many undead are in the River of the Undead? Beings from the entire living universe fall at every moment, so you could say that the souls being guided into the River of the Undead are countlessly numerous every second. This doesn’t even include the existing undead and those who have lost the chance for reincarnation, wandering in the River of the Undead for billions of years—combined, these undead amount to an astronomical number.”
