"Witch Niangniang!"
Upon seeing the Witch, Da Xing the Mad Monk hurriedly inquired, "What exactly has happened here? How did so many bizarre Chaotic Current Vortices suddenly appear inside the Primordial Black Hole!"
The Witch acted as if she hadn't heard, still standing atop the light sphere, her gaze fixed intently on the densely packed, endlessly numerous Chaotic Current Vortices spinning wildly not far away.
"Witch Niangniang!"
Da Xing the Mad Monk called out again, but unfortunately, the Witch still did not respond.
Not only did she not respond, but the Witch actually began to sink downward once more.
Da Xing the Mad Monk followed closely behind. The further down he probed, the finer the Chaotic Current Vortices became. Just moments ago they were the size of arms, then gradually like willow branches, and continuing downward, the endless multitude of Chaotic Current Vortices became finer than strands of hair.
This was the end. To be precise, Da Xing the Mad Monk had discovered the source of these Chaotic Current Vortices.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Gazing at the source of the Chaotic Current Vortices, Da Xing the Mad Monk felt his scalp go numb. The vortex source looked like some deep-sea monster covered in hair, utterly bizarre. Especially when the countless, hair-thin vortices spun wildly, it was terrifying no matter how you looked at it.
Could it be some terrifying Void Beast birthed by the Primordial Black Hole?
Or some damn mysterious, unknown existence?
Da Xing the Mad Monk glanced at the Witch, noticing she had been staring dead at the vortex source the whole time. He called out to her several more times, but she gave no response. Left with no choice, Da Xing observed for a while longer but truly couldn't figure out what this thing was. Taking a deep breath, he prepared to muster his courage and go over for a closer look.
Just as he was about to go, he shook his head. Thinking it over, he decided to forget it. This damn monster, whatever it was, was covered in Chaotic Current Vortices. It clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he blindly approached and disturbed it, he'd be in for a world of trouble.
Wait!
Da Xing the Mad Monk suddenly sensed something was off. The more he looked at the vortex source, the stranger it seemed. It felt like... a person.
That's right!
It was a person!
But... was that even possible?
Could it be?
A person completely entangled by endless Chaotic Current Vortices?
Forget a person, even a God probably couldn't withstand being entangled by so many Chaotic Current Vortices. Da Xing had been caught in these vortices earlier. He knew well that despite their small size, their power was exceptionally frightening. When he was trapped earlier, even his Immovable Golden Body had been left with a burning, painful sensation all over.
And that was just being caught for less than a breath's time before he broke free. He couldn't even imagine how terrifying it would be to be wildly assaulted by endless Chaotic Current Vortices for such a long duration.
Finally.
Da Xing the Mad Monk took a deep breath and decided to employ his Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils to see clearly. No sooner said than done. When Da Xing closed his eyes and opened them again, his perceptive gaze was like a torch, even like two great suns shooting forth two beams of golden radiance to illuminate the scene.
With this illumination, Da Xing was stunned.
He discovered that the existence entangled by endless Chaotic Current Vortices was neither a Void Beast nor a monster. It was actually a person!
That person sat cross-legged, hands pressed together in a meditative gesture, eyes closed as if in deep meditation.
He had initially thought this person was entangled by the endless Chaotic Current Vortices. But after employing his Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils to investigate, Da Xing realized this wasn't the case at all. These Chaotic Current Vortices weren't entangling that person; they seemed more like they were being birthed from this person's body. Like...
Like a monkey covered in monkey hair.
The difference was, a monkey's face, palms, and soles were at least relatively clean. But this person's entire body—eyes, ears, nose, mouth, everything—was covered in Chaotic Current Vortices. It felt as if these vortices were sprouting from all the pores and acupoints across his body, utterly horrifying.
Speaking of which, in his previous life, Da Xing was both an ancient clansfolk and a powerhouse of the Desolate Ancient Era. Even after reincarnating, he was a senior who had cultivated from the Primordial Era to the present. His experience and knowledge were beyond compare to ordinary people.
Yet.
Now, witnessing this scene, seeing with his own eyes a person covered head to toe in Chaotic Current Vortices, Da Xing the Mad Monk was still frightened to the point of holding his breath, his mind trembling uncontrollably.
Damn it all!
Truly, the longer you live, the more bizarre things you encounter.
Who was this guy?
What kind of existence was he? Why was he meditating inside the Primordial Black Hole?
And why was his entire body covered in Chaotic Current Vortices?
Was he truly in meditation?
Or was he already dead?
Unclear.
Because that person was completely covered in Chaotic Current Vortices, even with his Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils activated, Da Xing couldn't make out the other's appearance. He couldn't sense the other's spiritual aura either. He couldn't even tell if the other was alive or dead.
After pondering for a moment, Da Xing prepared to employ his Divine Sense for a closer look.
Although employing Divine Sense within the Primordial Black Hole was an extremely dangerous act, especially when probing an unknown existence—having his Divine Sense crushed would be a minor issue; his mind, consciousness, even his soul could suffer severe impacts.
However, to figure out what was really going on, Da Xing could no longer concern himself with danger. He took a few steps forward, reaching the edge of the Chaotic Current Vortices, and only then did he cautiously extend his Divine Sense to probe.
Within this Primordial Black Hole, visibility to the naked eye was practically zero.
Because the Primordial Black Hole was filled with Chaotic Currents everywhere, and each Chaotic Current contained numerous spaces.
The naked eye simply couldn't penetrate these spaces, just like an ordinary person couldn't see what was behind a wall.
Da Xing's Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils could penetrate Chaotic Current spaces, but that was their limit. They could penetrate one Chaotic Current, or nine or ten, but the more Chaotic Currents there were, the blurrier his Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils' vision became.
Divine Sense was different.
Divine Sense was a form of mental power that could see through the surface of all things to perceive their essence. No matter how many transformations or disguises, they might fool the naked eye, but they couldn't deceive Divine Sense.
Of course.
The prerequisite was that the Divine Sense was sufficiently powerful.
Da Xing considered his own Divine Sense fairly strong. Knowing the endless Chaotic Current Vortices not far away were especially terrifying, he was fully prepared when he extended it. However, when his Divine Sense touched the Chaotic Current Vortices, it was instantly thrown into disarray. Gritting his teeth, Da Xing immediately shielded his mind and forcefully drove his Divine Sense deeper to continue probing.
Through his persistent efforts, Da Xing finally confirmed this guy really was a person, because his Divine Sense detected a faint human aura. Continuing the probe, he found nothing else.
Apart from this human aura, this guy had no other spiritual aura, like an ordinary mortal of flesh and blood from the mundane world. However, what struck Da Xing as strange was that the more he probed, the more familiar this human aura felt—familiar to the point of being unmistakable.
