Fantasy: The Book of Heaven at the beginning changes fate against the will of heaven

It turns out that there is a story behind this ice sword, but why the ice sword turned black must have something to do with the Corpse King. The old man also gave a reasonable explanation, that is, the corpse energy in the corpse king corroded the ice sword, and the power of the sword will be greatly reduced after it turns black.

"Is there any way to recover?" I asked, staring at the ice sword.

"Of course there is a way, let me try." The old man took the ice sword in my hand and stretched out two fingers. Thick mist was exuding on his fingers. When the old man's fingers crossed the ice sword, the black color on the sword was revealed. The gas will disappear.

I took the Ice Sword and cupped my fists and said, "Thank you, old man." The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me in a hurry, I still need your help."

"The old man wants me to get rid of the water spirit beast. Of course I will help. However, I also want to ask the old man for a favor." I held the sword in one hand and stared at the river and said.

"Little brother, what do you want me to do for you? Tell me." The old man asked with a smile on his face.

"I wonder if the old man has ever heard that there is a soul of a god imprisoned at the bottom of the river?" The old man was stunned after hearing this, "The soul of a god?"

"Well, doesn't the old man know?" Impossible! This octopus spirit has been in this river for many years. How could he not know that the soul of a god is suppressed in this river?

"Haha! Little brother, do you want to absorb the energy of the gods? Don't be brave, otherwise you will explode and die." The old man said.

"That's not true. I'm looking for someone else."

"God?"

I nodded. The old man stroked his beard and looked at me meaningfully: "I didn't realize that little brother is very popular. To be honest, the treasure I want to give you is exactly the soul you mentioned." What, Octopus's words suddenly woke me up. , I really couldn’t find anything through my iron shoes. I thought it would take a lot of effort to find the soul in such a deep river. How could I not be excited when I heard what the octopus said? This would save me a lot of trouble.

"That's great, old man, please lead me to get rid of that water spirit beast."

I just want to get rid of Shui Ling quickly, get back Murong Xue's soul, and then leave the misty forest. If I stay here, I don't know what will happen.

"Don't worry, this water spirit beast won't come out until night. You can't fight it in the water." The old man said.

"Come out at night?" I asked confused.

It turns out that this water spirit beast will come out to worship every full moon night and absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It was still some time before evening, so I had nothing to do, so I simply found a flat ground with the old man to sit down and chat. I found that the old man was quite kind and not as cruel as Murong Xue said. The old man said that he was once a human being, thousands of years ago...

"Meng Shijie, paddle faster! If you can't get back before dark, you'll be in trouble." said a shirtless young man.

There were three people on the boat. The one named Meng Shijie was the old man back then. The one who went with the old man was Meng Shijie's childhood friend. They came to fish. This is the river now. This river also has a name, Black Dragon Pool. The origin of this river will be explained later.

It was calm in the afternoon, but towards dusk, the calm river surface suddenly became rough. The huge waves hit the boat one after another. Seeing that the boat was about to be swallowed up by the huge waves, several people desperately rushed to the shore. Cross out the edge. Just as they were about to approach the shore, a huge wave crashed down on them, and the ship was instantly swallowed up by the huge waves. Meng Shijie was knocked underwater by the powerful impact. Undercurrents surged under the water. Meng Shijie choked on his water several times and then lost consciousness. When he woke up, he found himself lying at the bottom of the river. Meng Shijie wanted to reach out and rub his swollen eyes, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was startled by what he saw.

Wherever there was a hand in front of him, what Meng Shijie raised was a soft tentacle. Meng Shijie looked around and found that his body had turned into the shape of an octopus. The sudden change was difficult for Meng Shijie to accept. In this way, Meng Shijie spent a few days in confusion underwater, and gradually accepted the fact that he had become a monster. At this time, Meng Shijie had not eaten for several days and nights. Although he had turned into a monster, he still felt hungry.

Meng Shijie began to search for something to eat in a small area at the bottom of the river, but it was difficult to see even a small fish at the bottom of the river. At this moment, Meng Shijie saw his companion who was killed with him a few days ago. Hunger made him lose his true nature, and Meng Shijie swallowed his companion. Although the rotten smell made him almost vomit, he finally solved the crisis temporarily. In the past few days, Meng Shijie had been wandering at the bottom of the river. He wanted to figure out one thing, what was wrong with his body. Finally one day, he met the water spirit beast.

According to the water spirit beast, Meng Shijie was swallowed by an octopus. Perhaps Meng Shijie's own desire to survive prompted his soul to expel the octopus's soul from his body and forcibly occupied the octopus's body, which is why it became like this. After Meng Shijie learned about it, he just wanted to die. Instead of living like this, it would be better to die. But the water spirit beast's words wavered his determination to seek death.

It is not impossible to change back to a human body. You can restore your human body through practice. Legend has it that there is a huge black dragon in the Black Dragon Pond. It has a very deep cultivation level. If you can absorb its spiritual energy and restore its true body, it will be a piece of cake. It’s just that I have never seen its true form, and I don’t know whether the legend is true or false. Don't say that you have never seen a black dragon. Even if you see it, Shui Ling and Meng Shijie's abilities can't do anything to it, so Meng Shijie decisively gave up the idea.

Another way to practice is to practice forcefully. The so-called forced practice is to go astray, because Meng Shijie is no longer in a human body. The only way to practice cultivation is to kill. From that day on, Meng Shijie was determined to become a normal person. Any ship passing by the Black Dragon Pool would be capsized by Meng Shijie underwater and absorb the human essence. Over time, Meng Shijie killed no one knows how many people. Finally one day, he found that he could breathe out of the water, so he began to kill the creatures on land, first animals in the woods, then humans in the wilderness, and even in the end Meng Shijie actually sneaked into the village to hunt and kill humans.

Once, Meng Shijie took advantage of the moonlight to return to the Black Dragon Pond, and happened to encounter Shui Ling practicing. Shui Ling told him that he had absorbed too much energy, and if he didn't control it well, it would probably be backlashed. Meng Shijie didn't know that this was Shui Ling's conspiracy. He was fooled by Shui Ling from the beginning. It turned out that Shui Ling Beast wanted to use Meng Shijie's body to survive the catastrophe. After Meng Shijie listened to Shui Ling's words, he asked Shui Ling to help him open up the veins in his body to absorb the spiritual energy. Unexpectedly, Shui Ling actually absorbed Meng Shijie's hard-earned essence. Although some of the essence was still in his body, it was not enough to transform back into a human body.

He was only one step away from recovering his true body, but the water spirit took away his spiritual energy. Meng Shijie was unwilling to accept it and decided to take revenge on the water spirit beast. He knew that he could not defeat him with his own ability, and he also knew that no matter how much energy he absorbed, he would be taken away by the water spirit, so he gave up hunting. But every time a ship passes by the Black Dragon Pond, he will still make waves in the water and overturn the ship. He is waiting for the opportunity, waiting for someone who can defeat him. This is his only chance to get rid of the water spirit beast.

He didn't know if humans who were stronger than him would help him, so he used the soul suppressed by Black Dragon Pond as the final bargaining chip. The soul monster of the god cannot be absorbed, otherwise it will explode and die. If not, the water spirit beast would have absorbed it long ago.

The old man sighed and said, "That's how it is." Unexpectedly, the old man is also a pitiful man, so I will definitely help him. No matter how powerful the water spirit beast is, I must seek justice for this old man, not for anything else but just for this breath. Mo Laosan once took advantage of me, so I deeply hate this kind of style. Suddenly it got dark, and the old man said it was almost time. The old man and I quietly lurked in the weeds by the river, just waiting for the water spirit to appear.
