I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

"Naturally, in most cases, the prisoners in the lower levels are confined for longer periods than those in the upper echelons."

"Here is just the beginning of the 'death' in the Dead Sea; as you proceed further down, you will encounter more despair."

She cast a deep glance at Xu Xiaoshou, as if warning him that perhaps once you go down, you may not come back up.

Aunt Xiang is on the sixth level... Xu Xiaoshou pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the sixth floor where the Ten High Nobles are confined?"

Beibei choked for a moment, opened her mouth, and suddenly couldn't speak.

"What?" Xu Xiaoshou was puzzled, "Is my question hard to understand?"

Beibei hesitated for a moment and said, "The sixth level imposes maximum restrictions on all types of possession, soul replacement, Saint Statue, mind implant, substitute, summoning, communication... and other techniques."

Oh, prohibition on The Divine's virtual image.

Xu Xiaoshou immediately understood.

"Let's go, continue downward."

There's nothing worth lingering on the second floor.

It wouldn't be impossible to slay another demi-saint here and harvest another wave of Passive Points.

But having saved up until now, with sixty million Passive Points, it's enough to max out all second awakenings and elevate most commonly used Dao Discs to Super Taoization levels.

With this strength, facing Ai Cangsheng, whether winning is uncertain, but there's certainly confidence.

And if sixty million isn't enough, even an extra six billion would only be icing on the cake, not reversing the situation.

Breakthrough!

He had already made up his mind.

After rescuing Aunt Xiang, he would undergo a hearty and thorough breakthrough.

"I will take on my strongest form, kill Jin Ren, and welcome back Elder Sang!"

As for what might happen afterwards...

Leave it to fate!

By that time, it would be chaotic enough.

The players in this strategic game might no longer even be me, but someone else entirely.

"Keep going down."

...

The third floor.

The fourth floor.

The fifth floor.

The first five levels of the Dead Sea, apart from a slight deepening of prohibitions, bore little difference in scenery—it was all Black Stone Prison.

The people from the five regions nonetheless followed the Dao Imparting Mirror, which followed Lord Shou, through every corner of the first five levels of the Dead Sea, witnessing many strange people and mutated beasts.

They seemed like monkeys trapped in cages, indifferent to anyone coming to observe them, having lost interest in everything.

Including food.

Including freedom.

Perhaps even now, if Xu Xiaoshou were to shout to them, "I bring bananas and freedom!"

Indeed, Xu Xiaoshou did shout.

The five regions were thrown into confusion, yet the prisoners in Black Stone Prison didn't even raise an eyelid.

Maybe similar performances had been tried many, many years ago.

"Interesting."

Ai Cangsheng remained unmoved as well.

Is Ai Cangsheng a monkey too?

What has he encountered?

Without thinking too much, in the end, even if the Dead Sea was a stagnant pool unable to stir a single wave of Passive Points, Xu Xiaoshou didn't mind.

The leeks in Jade Capital City continued to provide sustenance intermittently.

He was already wandering out of curiosity.

The Demi-Saint Sanctuary took a rare respite, briefly enjoying the comfort of relaxation.

Not causing trouble?

That's very unlike Lord Shou!

They thought that with the "sanctuary group," as they descended through the layers of the Dead Sea, each level would claim one person, ultimately resulting in total annihilation.

"It's rare to have such a few days of quiet time..."

The five regions, having watched several days of the Dead Sea, felt only the calm before a storm, even though the storm had only recently passed.

When the group in the image arrived at the Water Purification Vortex on the fifth level of the Dead Sea, everyone's eyes gleamed, drawing closer.

Zhu Yike had said.

Aunt Xiang is in the sixth level!

"Here it comes."

"The calm before the storm may be about to end."

Water Purification Vortex.

This is the essential path from the previous level to the next in the Dead Sea.

In the image, with a wave of Lord Shou's hand, the group skillfully swam into the vortex like fish, flowing to the next level.

The image on the Dao Imparting Mirror once again underwent blurring and distortion.

Countless days of silent desolation, accompanied only by Feng Zhongzui's muffled commentary from outside the scene.

This time, before the Dao Imparting Mirror could reveal the true appearance of the sixth level of the Dead Sea.

Everyone from the five regions heard a hoarse, aged voice that definitely didn't belong to anyone in the Holy Mountain Sanctuary, at their ears.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

It seemed to be laughing, a cold laugh like that of a venomous snake.

As the Dao Imparting Mirror shone its light and the image focused.

A golden sunflower abruptly replaced everything, like a ghost face plastered right in front of the curious viewers leaning towards the Dao Imparting Mirror's image from the five regions.

The seeds of the sunflower looked like enlarged eyes, staring at everyone, causing them to retreat in horror.

The snake-like laughter stopped.

Everyone's spirits sank along with it.

A chilling voice, in the rustling behind the ghost face sunflower, echoed:

"You have finally arrived, people of foreign worlds..."
