Chapter 226: Exploring the Boundary between Life and Death

After seeing Jiang Ruoli off, Jiang Xun cleaned up the broken stone table. After the fight with her, he no longer had the heart to continue his research. He opened the door, walked onto the streets of Liyue and began to wander around.

It was still early at this time, and apart from the Qianyan Army and some people in special professions, there was no sign of human activity on the streets.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xun felt a little bored. After all, the storytellers were not at work yet at this time, and he couldn't find anything to relieve his boredom for a while.

Just when he was about to go back to continue studying his astrology, a strange figure blocked his way.

"Hey, isn't this Jiang Xun? Long time no see. Why are you up so early?"

Walking with her long white legs, Hu Tao approached Jiang Xun in a very familiar manner, then stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder.

"Same here, you're here for a walk too?"

Jiang Xunxun thought that the last time he met the other party was when they were on the border between life and death. So, it has been a while since they last saw each other.

Walnut couldn't help but yawn when he heard that.

"No, no, no, I just finished work and am now preparing to go back to the Hall of the Dead to have a good sleep."

Hu Tao's biological clock is different from that of normal people in Liyue. She often goes out to work at night and comes back to sleep during the day. Although the girl can occasionally be seen during the day, it is only occasionally.

After all, due to the Wangsheng Hall, she still has to go door-to-door to promote her business. She can't just run to other people's doors in the middle of the night to knock on their doors to sell her products, right?

“Work, the boundary between life and death?”

Jiang Xun asked subconsciously, and then he sensed a familiar power from Hu Tao. Jiang Xun's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Yes, as you know, the dead often have obsessions with the world of the living. In this case, only this hall master can take action personally."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go back and rest. I spent a lot of energy last night. Good night!"

Hu Tao stretched, then waved at Jiang Xun and walked towards the Wangsheng Hall.

"Good night......"

Jiang Xun noticed that the girl's face was indeed obviously tired, so he didn't continue talking to her. After Hu Tao left, he just sat there and fell into deep thought.

"The border between life and death may contain what I want..."

After pondering for a while, Jiang Xun came to a conclusion.

He just felt the breath of Sky Island from Walnut again. Unlike the nails under the Layered Abyss, the breath on Walnut was accidentally picked up, which means that she had indirectly or directly come into contact with the source of the breath.

Jiang Xun once again thought about his experience at the border. The ruins and broken throne he saw at that time must be inextricably linked to Sky Island.

“Let’s go and have a look…”

He wouldn't get the answer he wanted by just sitting there daydreaming, so Jiang Xun left Liyue Harbor and headed towards Wuwangpo.

With the experience of traveling with Hu Tao last time, Jiang Xun was familiar with the route to Wuwangpo. However, the ghost lights and the dark atmosphere all around made it difficult for him not to associate it with Inazuma's Guardian Forest.

In some ways, Wuwangpo and the Guardian Forest seem to have similar effects, one guards against ghosts and the other guards against monsters, but these two places are not very popular among the local people.

Wuwang Slope is full of negative energy, and monsters are very easy to breed here. Even if they are cleared once, they will reappear in a short time.

Jiang Xun solved a lot of problems along the way. These monsters could not cause him any impact at all. All went smoothly and Jiang Xun came to the entrance of the cave at the boundary of life and death.

Coming here again, this cave entrance seems very ordinary. It would be difficult for people without certain means to see what is mysterious about it.

Jiang Xun walked directly towards the wall in front of him, then entered the cave entrance and went inside the cave. Since he had been here once, Jiang Xun easily bypassed the maze inside.

Soon I returned to this magical space.

The boundary between life and death, just like last time, there are still many souls here. They are different from the wandering ghosts outside. Although the souls that arrive here still have obsessions, they are not that strong.

Perhaps they just wanted to see as much of the living world as possible, so they didn't enter the door. But when the time comes, they will naturally go in.

"Hey, why is it a man who came?"

"Yeah, where's that little girl Kurumi?"

The ghosts still existing at the border started discussing when they saw Jiang Xun coming, and they were obviously curious about the identity of the visitor.

However, despite the discussion, no one came forward to ask Jiang Xun, which saved Jiang Xun a lot of effort.

Jiang Xun walked to the door and reached out to touch it just like last time. The next moment, strange scenes began to appear in his mind. However, with the experience from last time, Jiang Xun took the initiative this time.

He began to explore these scenes independently, trying to find the source of power.

From the outside, it seemed that Jiang Xun was just standing quietly in front of the door. His eyes had lost focus at this moment. This was obviously a sign of losing his soul, but this was not passive. Instead, Jiang Xun actively lost his soul.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it out-of-body experience.

Jiang Xun's spirit body kept swimming freely. After an unknown amount of time, he lost his perception of time and space, as if this space was independent of time and space.

"Strange, why is there no breath at all?"

Jiang Xun found that he had searched many places but could not detect any breath of the power of Sky Island, which made him very puzzled.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

A magnificent and sacred voice sounded at this time. Jiang Xun looked around but found nothing.

"who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that this is not the place for you. Leave now before she finds you!"

The voice sounded again, but the other party's words made Jiang Xun a little surprised.

"who is she?"

Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant.

"Alas, it's too late. She's here. I can't help you. You're on your own."

After the mysterious voice finished its last sentence, there was no more sound, and Jiang Xun knew that the other party had left.

However, another voice followed, and this voice was more murderous than the previous one: "You dare to pry into the secrets of life and death, outsider, you are overstepping your authority!"
