Sword Chen sighed, suddenly sensing sothing. He talked to Zen through his life vitality, “Hide your aura! Sothing is coming!”
Heeding this instruction, Zen hid all his aura.
They floated in the black water, as motionlessly as they could.
Then Zen felt a wave erge from the thick black water.
He knew that there was probably a huge monster swimming in the black water, swilling the water around and forming an undercurrent.
The re manner in which the undercurrent reached Zen terrified him.
Zen's heart seed to stop beating in that mont.
The hair on his back stood on end, and his mood began to fluctuate violently.
He had tried his best to restrain himself but fear had prodded his instincts.
And now, he was trying to gather all his strength and hit back.
At that mont, Sword Chen put a hand on Zen's shoulder.
A warm current flowed from his palm
and into Zen's shoulder, causing him to feel imdiate relief.
Zen had the sudden feeling of returning ho, as if he had, all this while, been in a cold, frozen land and then spring had made its appearance again. His fear had disappeared as well.
He had experienced this feeling before, when he had faced fear incarnations in the debate venue. But it hadn't been as strong as it was now.
The undercurrent disappeared after a while and the monster was also a significant distance away. It was only then that Sword Chen released Zen.
“What was that? Is there a monster in the black water?” Zen asked.
“No,” replied Sword Chen.
“No?” Zen repeated, puzzled. He had clearly sensed a huge monster just monts ago.
And now, Sword Chen was saying that there was no ferocious monster here! What was Zen to make of this contradiction?
“Do you know what the black water is?” Sword Chen asked.
“No, I don't,” Zen replied.
He only knew that the black water, like the Magnetic Sacred Mountain, was extrely complex.
It would weaken all kinds of energy that were poured into it.
Neither Laquisha's fire nor Samuel's spear worked in the black water.
“This is the Sea of ditation,” said Sword Chen.
“Sea of ditation...”
To the west of the Desperation Plain was the Reincarnation Land. To the East was the black water. This must be the Sea of ditation.
But the na didn't matter. Zen morized it and waited for Sword Chen to give further explanation.
“That thing is not a ferocious monster. It is referred to as 'the unknown' in the Sea of ditation,” Sword Chen explained.
Zen was still confused. “What is 'the unknown'?”
Sword Chen smiled, knowing that Zen would ask this question, and continued, “Not all fears have forms. What we fear most is usually colorless and formless. It is just a concept. For example, when you suffer sleep paralysis, you feel that sothing is pressing down on your body, but in fact, there is nothing. What makes you scared is the unknown.”
The Abyss Demon Region was a gathering of all the fears in the divine land.
Like other forbidden lands, all the monsters here had their sources and legends.
There were fiends, Abyss Demons, sea monsters, and all kinds of ferocious beasts.
They were truly illusory, ford by Faith Energy. However, the divine citizens fabricated them.
The fears didn't really exist in many cases.
As Sword Chen had said, so fears were formless.
Formless fears were also a kind of Faith Energy, and the creatures that were ford by this kind of Faith Energy could be found in the Sea of ditation.
“So the unknown won't harm us? They'll only scare us?”
Zen's heart fluttered with fear.
He had experienced life and death. Even in the most desperate situations, he never was scared because he knew that fear was useless and would only push him into adversity.
But in the face of the unknown just now, Zen's fear was instinctively awakened, and he couldn't find a way to stop it.
Without Sword Chen's warmth, Zen would probably beco desperate enough to attack the unknown.
“Scare us? Ha-ha!” Sword Chen chuckled mirthlessly and then asked Zen, “It is said in the divine land that fiends rule the Abyss Demon Region, right?”
“Isn't it true?” Zen asked back.
There was no doubt that the Abyss Demon Region was ho to fiends.
“Even the most powerful fiends shiver with fear in the Sea of ditation. They'd die here if they aren't careful enough. They can be reborn, but once they die, they will have to start all over again,” said Sword Chen.
Zen's eyebrows went up at this information.
He suddenly felt that hiding in this place was not a good choice.
Fortunately, Sword Chen had been hiding here for a number of years, so he must be very familiar with the Sea of ditation. He could probably ensure their safety to a certain extent.
Zen thought for a mont and asked, “Why do the fiends co here if this place is so dangerous?”
The fiends seed to have lost interest in the Reincarnation Land since they couldn't enter it.
The Sea of ditation was dangerous, making it impossible for the fiends to co to it.
“This is the cultivation place of fiends. If they want to be stronger, they must co here,” Sword Chen answered.
“The cultivation place of fiends? Do the fiends still need to practice?” Zen beca even more puzzled at this.
The monsters would beco stronger and stronger as long as they stayed in the forbidden lands, because they had an inexhaustible source of Faith Energy there.
Another way of becoming stronger was to devour other beasts, a way in which they could get extra Faith Energy quickly.
“Of course, it's necessary,” Sword Chen said, calming down. “If the fiends only relied on Faith Energy, they wouldn't have the strength they have now. They would have been just so obscure monsters. But in the Sea of ditation, they can co in contact with the most wonderful ideas, so even beyond the limitation of the divine land.”
Zen's heart skipped a beat at this.
He had heard the strange fish ntion that the fiends were looking for a way to leave the Abyss Demon Region. This was impossible, because it violated the rules of the divine land.
And according to what Sword Chen was saying, did the fiends find the way out of the Abyss Demon Region through the Sea of ditation?
The mont Sword Chen finished talking, Zen felt the pressure around him loosen and he stepped into a space he couldn't quite explain. The black water that had clung to his body peeled and flowed away from him like reeling silk from cocoons.
