Chapter 1909: 1504 Special Channel: The Demoness of Childhood Chapter 1909: 1504 Special Channel: The Demoness of Childhood Endless vortexes, unseen darkness.
The two were deeply trapped, their existence in the external world seemingly being devoured bit by bit.
The academy head said with emotion, “Not only am I dead, it now seems difficult to even make a name for myself.
“I am the creator of the immortal sect known as the Western Astronomical Academy.”
“I also didn't expect such things to happen when I entered,” Jiang Hao said with slight emotion, “I thought it would be the usual encounters with some people, learning about some matters.
“Then to depart.
“Who knew it would be like this.
“For me alone, it doesn't matter, but it now seems that the academy head has this tribulation in his fate.”
The academy head was also indifferent: “Does this make me the same kind of person as the Great Elder?”
“Not at all,” Jiang Hao shook his head and chuckled lightly, “The academy head will die, but I will not.”
Hearing this, the academy head replied with a bitter smile:
“The words of the Great Elder are quite hurtful, but this place is so unique, do you have the confidence to leave?”
“Let's go in and see,” Jiang Hao said mysteriously.
Then, the two swiftly descended further down.
In just a short time, they heard the sound of flowing water.
Then, their falling bodies seemed to be cushioned, and their feet suddenly touched the ground.
Jiang Hao didn't feel anything unusual, just landing steadily on the ground.
The academy head almost stumbled, exclaiming with surprise:
“How strange? Did we suddenly step onto solid ground?”
“It's a shift in the Tao,” Jiang Hao said, assisting the academy head.
The academy head nodded, “I see.”
He didn't understand anyway and didn't plan to ask any further.
At this point, the sound of water came.
Jiang Hao glanced to the side and found that they were standing at the edge of the water.
A pitch-black river, with no end in sight.
And its source unknown.
But having a bank, they could look around nearby.
“Great Elder, look ahead,” the academy head pointed ahead and said,
“There are people.”
Jiang Hao withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction the academy head was pointing.
He saw a disheveled man, dragging a heavy iron chain and struggling to move forward.
Then Jiang Hao followed the iron chain with his eyes to the back.
That's when he clearly saw that the man was pulling a coffin.
The iron chain was connected to a strange coffin.
Judging from the design, Jiang Hao felt it was a bit similar to the Ominous Coffin he had obtained.
At this point, the Coffin Puller looked up at Jiang Hao and said, “It's quite rare to see people come in here.”
Jiang Hao glanced around and also found it strange; it should be that they came in after seeing the pages of an ancient book, the sight of a boat would have been more likely.
Where would he have thought that it would actually be a Coffin Puller?
At this moment, the disheveled man glanced behind at the coffin and said, “You think I'm pulling a coffin?”
“Isn't that the case?” Jiang Hao curiously asked.
“Of course not,” the man looked at Jiang Hao and said with a smile, “I'm a corpse collector.”
“A corpse collector?” Jiang Hao asked.
He had heard of corpse collectors many times.
Endless coffins beneath the Corpse Sea were laid down by corpse collectors.
Not only that, but it seemed that the Chengyun Child was looking for the corpse collector's tomb.
To collect the corpse collector's body.
That is, the body of the person in front of him?
“Corpse collector?” The corpse collector pondered for a moment and nodded, “More or less, you can call me that if you wish.
“But why are you here?
“This is not a good place, once you come, you probably won't be able to leave.
“Do you want to join me in collecting corpses?
“Pulling a coffin can be quite interesting.”
“I'm not going to live for a few more years, yet I should drag bodies?” the academy head replied irritably.
“You clearly have no ambition in life, I'm going to bury the coffin.” The corpse collector shook his head in lament and then dragged the coffin into the endless sea area, vanishing into the sea area.
Jiang Hao had wanted to follow.
But as he approached the sea area, his body began to feel like it was disintegrating.
This was a region not tread upon by the grinding disc.
Why?
“Shall we not go down and see?” the academy head asked.
“Do you want to give it a try, academy head?” Jiang Hao asked.
Then the academy head indeed stretched out his foot to touch it, and then, his entire being became hazy.
Had it not been for Jiang Hao pulling him back,
The academy head would have vanished completely.
This scared the academy head quite terrible: “What kind of place is this?”
“Who knows?” Jiang Hao shook his head.
He didn't understand either, what exactly this place was.
He had never come into contact with it before.
Additionally, this was the first time he had seen a corpse collector.
He had only heard of them before.
Perhaps he could ask why countless coffins were laid beneath the Corpse Sea.
“Great Elder, who exactly are you?” the academy head asked.
Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and said, “How to put it? I was formerly known as the 'Gu Jin', then as the 'Great Era', and later on proclaimed, 'Before the heavens, there was me.'
“That's roughly the kind of person I am.”
Hearing this, the academy head's mouth gaped open: “How does that compare to my disciple?”
“In terms of cultivation speed, I'm slightly faster than him,” Jiang Hao answered.
“How much faster?” the academy head felt he needed to be clear.
“I started cultivating at the age of five, ascended at seventy, and became a Daluo at four hundred. Just at that sort of pace,” Jiang Hao replied.
The academy head fell silent.
Just a little bit faster?
Is it that kind of fast?
Then he said in confusion, “That shouldn't be the case, there's no Daluo in the world today, my disciple is very sure of it.”
Jiang Hao nodded seriously, “Indeed, there's no Daluo in the current age.”
“Then, Great Elder, you?” The academy head felt as though he surmised something yet grasped nothing at all.
Jiang Hao did not reply, only responded with a smile.
The academy head sighed, “Riddle people are truly vexing.”
They stood on the bank, waiting for the corpse collector to emerge.
Jiang Hao looked around; the world was dark except for the bank, which was clear to see.
Besides that, other places couldn't be seen.
Even the extension of the Tao couldn't make it clear.
It seemed to be filled with nothingness.
After a long time, there was a reaction in the water.
The corpse collector came up, and when he saw Jiang Hao, he was slightly surprised, “You're still here?”
“I'd like to ask the senior some questions,” Jiang Hao said humbly, “It's our first time here, and we want to know exactly what this place is.”
