It was a very strange scene, like looking at the outside world through a thick layer of ice. An extremely complex golden rune slowly fell down and landed on someone's body. As soon as the rune touched the skin, it blended in, and then a dazzling light lit up on the person's body, and there was some kind of power flowing in the light.
He couldn't see clearly who the person was, couldn't tell what runes they were, and couldn't even tell whether it was a memory or an illusion. The images in the sea of consciousness flashed away so quickly that he didn't even have time to grasp any detail.
Is this thing the same type of thing as the "Ultimate Cultivation Formation" Liu Suifeng said? Have you ever seen such a scene? Or is it just an association that automatically occurred in your mind after listening to Liu Suifeng's words?
No matter what it is, Qin Tiexin understands that this kind of fragment does not appear for no reason. It either comes from the depths of his own memory or from something that he has not fully understood.
He suppressed this question in his heart and continued on his way.
After marching forward for about a quarter of an hour, the terrain gradually became flat and open. The gravel on the dark red wasteland gradually became less and less, replaced by a layer of fine dark red gravel.
On the distant skyline, two mountain peaks standing side by side gradually emerged from behind the horizon. At first, they were just two blurry gray shadows. As the distance got closer, the shadows became clearer and clearer, and became taller and taller.
The distance between the two peaks is no more than a hundred feet, and there is an extremely narrow canyon passage in the middle, which looks like the split upper and lower jaws of a giant beast. The sharp rock walls like fangs glow faintly under the dark red sky.
"Sky-Splitting Cliff."
Liu Suifeng checked the location against the map on the array plate, "The mark on the map is correct, it is here. The side we are on is where Pure Land Chan Sect was stationed back then. After passing this cliff and heading northeast, we will see the main battlefield a thousand years ago."
Looking closer, the scale of the two peaks is larger than estimated from a distance.
The entire mountain is dark gray, and there is no grass growing on the rock walls. There are only extremely deep sword marks and scorch marks left after the formations were burned, extending from the mountainside to the valley bottom.
At the entrance of the canyon passage, there are a large number of broken stones and broken Law Artifact half-buried in the sand scattered on the ground. The rock walls on both sides of the passage are as steep as cut, and become narrower as you go inward. The narrowest point can only accommodate three people walking side by side. It is a natural dangerous pass, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Wait a minute." Liu Suifeng suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped following him.
He raised the array disk to eye level, tapped his fingers on the disk a few times, and gradually frowned. The aura on the array disk reacted inappropriately. From just now, he could vaguely feel that the Spiritual Qi around him seemed to be getting thinner. When he walked closer to measure it, the numbers were indeed falling down.
He raised his head and moved his gaze from the formation plate to the canyon ahead, "The Spiritual Qi here becomes thinner as you go forward."
Everyone stopped and each released a detailed Divine Sense response.
After being reminded by Liu Suifeng, several people gradually noticed the abnormality. The concentration of Spiritual Qi around them was indeed slightly lower than the normal level. If you don't compare it carefully, it is easy to ignore it. The Spiritual Qi in the secret realm itself fluctuates up and down. Sometimes a strong wind can make the concentration of Spiritual Qi jump a few points.
"What kind of stupid thing?" Lin Chuan walked up to him and asked.
"From the moment I entered this area, I felt something was wrong. It was just that the decline was too small and the array did not alarm. Now that we are closer, the data is obvious."
Liu Suifeng handed over the array plate and asked Lin Chuan to look at the aura scale on it, "From here on, Spiritual Qi becomes thinner as you go forward. Look at the speed of this descent, it's almost A straight line." He traced a line forward along the aura scale on the array disk with his finger, and his fingertips finally stopped on the Sky-Splitting Cliff mark. "At this rate of descent, when we get here, there will be no Spiritual Qi."
"Spiritual Qi Nothing?" Du Heng thought he heard it wrong, "What does Spiritual Qi Nothing mean?"
"It's just zero. Nothing at all."
Liu Suifeng's voice was rare and serious, "Whether it is a secret realm, a wasteland, a formation, a battlefield, or even in the mortal world, there is still a tiny amount of Spiritual Qi in the air, but ordinary people cannot sense it. Already. But the array disk told me that at the position Sky-Splitting Cliff, the concentration of Spiritual Qi is zero. It's not thin, it's completely non-existent, as if something has been sucked out of this world."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment and asked, "What's going on? Is it man-made, or is it a change in the secret realm itself?"
"It's hard to say." Liu Suifeng scanned the terrain from several angles again. After the Spirit Rune on the array disk flashed for a moment, he shook his head, "But judging from the terrain, the concentration of Spiritual Qi is very important to the surrounding environment. There are obvious decreasing levels from high to low, and it is not interrupted suddenly. This regular decreasing pattern is either the result of a large formation deliberately laid out thousands of years ago, or the impact of that war, which drained all Spiritual Qi. It does not seem to have happened recently."
Qin Tiexin Squat down and press your left palm on the ground.
[Spirit Material Sense] inspired, he closed his eyes and felt for a moment. The distribution of scattered spiritual materials under the ground slowly spread out in his senses. Indeed, as Liu Suifeng said, Spiritual Qi is decreasing all the way in the direction of Sky-Splitting Cliff. The further forward, the thinner the spiritual materials are, the less the spiritual materials in the ground are. This decreasing trend is very uniform, and there is no trace of recent human interference.
"It was left over thousands of years ago." Qin Tiexin opened his eyes and retracted his palm, "Spiritual Qi's attenuation is very even, it doesn't look like it was formed recently."
"Can you go around it?" Lin Chuan asked.
Liu Suifeng used his finger to draw two routes on the formation board. "You can go around both the left and right sides. To go around from the west side, you have to climb two mountains, and it takes two and a half days longer according to the previous map estimate; to go around from the east side, you have to cross a swamp area marked above, which is more dangerous and takes about two days longer than the west side. Maybe the Buddhists took this into consideration when they were stationed here."
He raised his head and continued, "Besides, we don't know much about the situation on both sides, and the markings on this area on the map are incomplete. Secret Realm Trial There are a total of thirty days, and we have already passed four. We still have to complete the task of getting seawater and return before time runs out. We may not be able to afford these extra days of walking."
Du Heng stood at the entrance of the canyon and looked inside for a moment.
You can see the end of the canyon passage at a glance, and you can vaguely see a ray of light at the exit at the other end. He estimated the distance, turned around and asked, "What if you rush directly from the outside? This passage is only more than two miles in total. With the fastest footwork, can't you run through it in one breath?"
Liu Suifeng shook his head. "Theoretically yes, as long as the speed is fast enough, the two-mile road is indeed not far. But there are two problems. First, from here, the length of the passage is indeed only two miles, but we cannot be sure how long the Spiritual Qi zone is. Second, once you enter the Spiritual Qi zone, the spiritual power Law Technique are all invalid and cannot be used at all. Even the storage ring cannot be opened, Law Artifact cannot be activated, the formation disk cannot be used, and even the protective aura will disappear. If there is an ambush in the middle of the passage, or there is Demon Beast, or there are some traps, then we will just be a few ordinary people who don't know how to Law Technique, and we will have no place to run."
Xu Ying After hearing this, he said softly, "How about we go around. It's better to walk for two more days than to risk our lives here."
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Chuan. At this time, only he could make the decision.
