At the bottom of the dark river, Jiang Ming withstood the intense corrosive power and slowly moved toward the place from where the light came.

Jiang Ming gasped. As he got closer to the bright light, the corrosive power around him became more and more terrifying. Not only was it eroding his divine soul, but his bones, meridians, and even his spirit base were being eroded.

Under that mysterious and terrifying power, it was as if his entire being was about to be destroyed.

If it was not for the constant operation of the indestructible origin light, Jiang Ming suspected that he would have been completely annihilated before he even reached this place.

“What kind of terrifying place is the source of this river?” Jiang Ming was shocked.

Pieces of Soul Jade would occasionally flash by his side. However, he no longer had the energy to grab them. The pain that penetrated deep into his divine soul almost made him collapse.

The corrosive power that hit Jiang Ming with each breath was enough to completely destroy a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

“It is likely that no one can reach the bottom of the Soul Suppressing River,” Jiang Ming said softly. Even if he had condensed his divine will in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could not last for a moment under this terrifying power. Most ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators did not have their divine will at all. They would probably be destroyed before they could go halfway into the river.

“What even lies at the bottom of the river?” Jiang Ming was even more curious.

A moment later, he finally arrived in front of the bright light and saw the object emitting the light clearly.

“Is this a piece of Soul Jade as well?” Jiang Ming looked at the object in front of him.

It was a large stone, and its surface was extremely smooth.

Streams of rainbow light flowed on the stone, reflecting the colorful light in the river. It emitted an aura that was very similar to Soul Jade. However, it was purer and more mysterious.

Moreover, this stone did not seem to be completely made of jade. When Jiang Ming looked at it again, he felt it seemed to have a metallic luster.

“Regardless of whether it’s Soul Jade, this thing is probably not an ordinary item!” Jiang Ming whispered in his heart. Something that had existed at the bottom of the Soul Suppressing River for an unknown period of time was probably worth more than the Soul Jade.

Moreover, the corrosive power around this thing was exponentially stronger than that around the previous pieces of Soul Jade. They were not on the same level at all.

However, Jiang Ming had never seen any records of this thing in the information about the Soul Suppressing River. Perhaps no one had ever obtained this item before.

“I can only wait until I leave the Black Rock Ruins before figuring out its origins and uses,” Jiang Ming thought to himself. He walked forward and reached out to grab it. His blood Qi secretly circulated, and he suddenly grabbed it and lifted it up. He immediately staggered.

“It’s so light.” Jiang Ming was rendered speechless. He had been prepared for this thing to weigh a ton. However, he did not expect it to be as light as a feather in his hand. He almost fell down.

“Hmm? Wait… It’s rapidly becoming heavier!” Jiang Ming suddenly stared at the colorful stone in his palm and felt its weight increase rapidly.

He had a subconscious premonition that if he held it in his hand for a while longer, it would get too heavy for him to hold.

“What a strange thing.” Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched. He was a martial artist at the Foundation Establishment Realm who had cultivated the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. It was terrifying to think that such a tiny thing would be too heavy for him to carry.

Jiang Ming made a prompt decision and quickly threw it into the storage ring. Then, he checked it and found that it was quietly put in the storage ring. He heaved a sigh of relief.

“Could it be that it only changes when it comes into contact with people?” Jiang Ming muttered in his heart. However, it was not the time to overthink. He walked around for a moment and found nothing else unusual. Thus, he was ready to leave.

“However, it’s difficult to tell where I’m going. Whatever; let’s jump out of the river first. This river is really strange,” Jiang Ming thought to himself. He did not want to stay here any longer.

The source of the Soul Suppressing River was probably not something he could explore with his current strength.

However, before Jiang Ming could do anything, his heart suddenly jumped. He realized that the flow of the surrounding river seemed to be a little different.

An indiscernible ripple flashed and disappeared. An undercurrent shot past him and rushed into an unknown depth ahead. However, in the darkness, he could not see what was going on.

Jiang Ming was not paying attention and was hit by an undercurrent. He staggered and almost lost his balance.

“What a strong undercurrent!”

Jiang Ming was shocked. His body could withstand a mountain’s impact without even shaking. However, he was almost sent flying by the undercurrent.
