Let them continue digging here. Jiang Liu leaped around the mountain range and continued flying deeper into the jungle.
Jiang Liu flew over two mountain ranges but didn't see anything unusual about the place. He also didn't know why the Bloodfiend Sect would choose this place as their stronghold.
Is it really so that this place is easy to hide? So that it's not so easy for people to find out?
It seems that we may only be able to find out the truth after the collapsed mountain is excavated.
When Jiang Liu returned to the front of the collapsed mountain, he found that Ming Chengyun and others had already cleared the collapsed area.
The secret passage leading down the mountain had mostly collapsed, and what was now exposed was the entrance that had been cleared.
"My lord, we went in to take a look just now, but found a stone door blocking the way, so we didn't go in. Please go and take a look." Ming Chengyun said to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu nodded and took the lead into the secret passage. The Fire-Winged Monkey was stopped because it was too big to enter the passage.
Looking back at the Fire-Winged Monkey and seeing its predicament, Jiang Liu had no choice but to have the Fire-Winged Monkey guard the cave entrance and prevent it from going in.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the stone gate, he found that it was blocked by a single, flat boulder covered with various talismans.
"Do you recognize this kind of talisman?" Jiang Liu turned to look at Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue and asked.
Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue both shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
Jiang Liu didn't say anything more, but instead began to examine the stone.
Unable to discern anything, Jiang Liu channeled the vital energy of the Saintly Sky Art within his body and placed his hand on it.
The moment they made contact, the talismans on the stone seemed to come alive, transforming into a blood-red phantom that lunged towards Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu immediately transformed his hand into a blade, and with a flash of his aura, the aura of a Peak Grandmaster appeared.
With a burst of energy from the Saintly Sky Art in his hand, he cleaved the oncoming blood-red phantom in two with a single strike.
After the blood-red phantom was cleaved in two by Jiang Liu's Saintly Sky Art energy, the talisman fell back onto the stone, but it no longer contained Spiritual Qi.
Jiang Liu placed his hand on the stone again, and with a burst of energy from his palm, the entire stone instantly shattered into fragments, and then the cave entrance opened wide.
Just now, when Jiang Liu approached this rock, the Saintly Sky Art Qi within his body reacted strongly, which is why Jiang Liu tried to break it.
It was obvious that these talismans were drawn using the energy of the Blood Saint Art, but they were not of a high level, which is why Jiang Liu broke them with a single blow.
Jiang Liu went in first, followed by Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue.
Once inside, you'll see that a large space has been excavated underground, and it seems they intend to continue expanding it.
The space inside is divided into several areas, the most eye-catching of which is a huge statue placed in the center.
The statue has a flat nose and a concave face, wears a square crown, holds a tablet in its hands, and is surrounded by sixteen faintly visible blood-red ribbons. This is the image of the King Tai of Mount Tai in the Halls of Yama.
Sixteen small blood pools were dug around the statue, but at this moment, most of the pools still contained blood, with only some nearly dried up.
Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue, who followed them in, began searching the rooms next to them.
Jiang Liu then began to study the sixteen small blood pools on the ground.
He always felt that there was some mystery in these blood pools, and he had never seen any formations even though he had been in this world for so long.
He always felt that something might have gone wrong with the inheritance of this world, or that the inheritance of the formation had been broken.
As Jiang Liu watched, he suddenly felt his vision go black, as if he had entered a vast sea of blood.
Jiang Liu reached out and tried to touch the crimson Essence Particles surrounding him.
Unexpectedly, he passed right through it, and the illusion in front of Jiang Liu immediately disappeared.
Jiang Liu looked at his surroundings and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the middle of the sixteen blood pools.
Jiang Liu felt a chill run down his spine. For a brief moment, he knew that his mind had been momentarily disoriented.
As for how long this would take, Jiang Liu glanced at Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue, who were still searching in the various rooms.
I figured it wouldn't take too long.
Jiang Liu wanted to try again to see if he could re-enter the illusion he had just seen.
The main point is that we didn't find out anything from that last attempt.
At this moment, Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue, who had been searching the inner room, came out.
"My lord, we didn't find anything valuable in the rooms. We only found a few secret manuals in three of the rooms. The rest were just ordinary cultivation resources."
Jiang Liu took the several manuals handed to him by Ming Chengyun, flipped through them, and a series of sounds echoed in his mind.
Jiang Liu did not choose to include any of them, and put away all the secret manuals in his hand, planning to look at them when he had time.
He looked up at Jiang Congyue and said, "Call some people in and distribute all those cultivation resources!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Congyue's face immediately lit up with a smile. She cupped her hands in greeting and replied, "Yes, sir." After saying that, she happily walked out.
She knew Jiang Liu was a generous person and would never be stingy, but she never expected him to completely reject these cultivation resources.
"My lord, what are you doing?" Ming Chengyun asked hesitantly.
Jiang Liu waved his hand and said, "I don't need these things. It's your increased strength that will benefit me."
"Keep an eye on things here for me. I need to continue exploring. Also, remember to check the time for me," Jiang Liu continued to say to Ming Chengyun.
"Yes, sir!" Ming Chengyun then stopped talking, only staring at Jiang Liu, silently calculating in his mind.
Jiang Liu also began to concentrate on observing the blood-platform array.
After a long while, Jiang Liu felt his Divine Sense darken and then find himself in a sea of blood, a feeling even clearer than before.
This time, Jiang Liu didn't dare to move rashly, fearing that he would immediately break the illusion. He remembered that he was currently in an illusion.
As Jiang Liu spent more time inside, he gradually noticed some changes in this sea of blood.
It seemed as if the crimson particles surrounding me were rotating according to a certain pattern.
Moreover, it was rotating and changing into various shapes at the same time.
Finally, the image of King Tai of Mount Tai was revealed, and then King Tai of Mount Tai's eyes suddenly glared at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu was startled and immediately snapped out of the illusion.
Ming Chengyun, who was standing to the side, was startled by Jiang Liu, because Jiang Liu's sudden burst of aura had almost injured him.
Fortunately, he dodged in time and was not hurt.
It took Jiang Liu quite a while to come to his senses.
At this moment, Ming Chengyun also stepped forward and said, "My lord, what happened to you just now? How come you lost control of your aura in just a moment?"
Jiang Liu was taken aback, because he felt like a long time had passed, but Ming Chengyun said only a moment had gone by?
Jiang Liu turned his head to look again, still unwilling to give up, and realized that Jiang Congyue hadn't brought anyone in yet, which meant that not much time had passed.
