The immediate problem has been resolved.
Although everyone harbored resentment, intimidated by the golden-armored commander and the generous rewards promised by Prince Mu Fusheng, no one dared to suggest turning back.
The results were quite good.
However, although the internal problems were resolved...
However, the stairs still seemed to have no end in sight.
Looking up, you can only see a small halo.
Looking down, all that remained was endless darkness!
At this moment, Mu Fusheng couldn't help but think.
Is there ever an end to this?
Will we be able to reach the very bottom?
It's been about ten days since we left.
But still, there is no hope in sight.
This situation is rather strange.
Ye Qiubai shared the same thought.
Could this staircase be part of some kind of array or formation?
Let them linger in this situation, never reaching the end.
But.
Ye Qiubai possesses Clear Sword Heart, and his Sword Dao has reached the level of Sword Saint!
Sword cultivators, compared to other cultivators...
Furthermore, they possess the ability to see through illusions.
However, Ye Qiubai was unaware of whether he was surrounded by an illusionary array.
Or is it...?
With Ye Qiubai's strength, he still can't Demon Breaking Abyss?
No.
This is unreasonable.
Ye Qiubai shook his head.
If it's a test.
Furthermore, if this place is an illusion, then it's impossible to set the difficulty level based on cultivation level or strength.
However, the foundation of the illusion was not found.
They just haven't figured it out!
The deeper you think about it...
Ye Qiubai was able to discover more and more strange things.
"Have you noticed that the halo above our heads, in theory, gets smaller as we go down, until it disappears!"
"Things appear larger when closer and smaller when farther away; the distance at which light can reach is also limited."
"But we've walked for so long, and the halo at the exit of the crater above us is still the same size. This doesn't make sense."
Mu Fusheng nodded and said, "I noticed that too, but I didn't find any traces of the illusionary formations around here."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
"Once we find the unusual spot, at least we can avoid taking detours and not have to keep going."
"We must now be trapped in some kind of illusionary formation."
"It's just that we haven't discovered it yet."
Shi Sheng asked, "Should we stop now?"
Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Fusheng and said, "I think we should stop. What we need to do now is conserve our energy and detect any unusual activity around us."
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng walked to Mu Qingqing's side.
They shared their guesses and doubts with Mu Qingqing.
After hearing this, Mu Qingqing looked up at the small halo that had remained unchanged in size until now.
His expression turned serious.
Immediately, she made a decisive move, waving her small hand and saying, "Stop!"
The group was somewhat puzzled, but they stopped anyway.
After all, Mu Qingqing is the commander here.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingqing summoned all the experts at the Spirit Division Realm and told them about the matter.
After hearing this conjecture, including the Golden Armor Commander...
They were all releasing their auras, carefully examining their surroundings.
Unfortunately, in this abyss filled with black demonic energy, their perception and spiritual power were restricted.
On the other side.
Ye Qiubai unleashed his Sword Domain!
A chorus of Sword Intent roared around us!
Shi Sheng also used the Power of the Stars to sense the anomalies around him.
Mu Fusheng casually held up the Ninefold Lightning Shield to prevent being ambushed by Devil Creature.
question.
Where exactly is the problem?
In places where Spiritual Qi is limited.
Ye Qiubai's Sword Intent and Shi Sheng's Power of the Stars clearly have the upper hand.
However, after carefully searching the surrounding area, they still found nothing!
If it's an illusion.
If it's a formation.
How could there not be the slightest trace?
Why is that?
Ye Qiubai continued to ponder the questions involved.
Let's start from the beginning and think back.
I recall the moments from when I first stepped onto the stairs.
Is there anything unusual about this?
After much thought...
But they still had no clue whatsoever!
Shi Sheng was also thinking.
The Power of the Stars not only possesses the power of suppression, but also the ability to perceive.
Using the Power of the Stars, they continuously observed their surroundings.
It can be said that it is much broader and more detailed than Ye Qiubai's Sword Domain!
But still, nothing was found!
At this moment.
A sentence involuntarily surfaced in Shi Sheng's mind.
This sentence appears in the Chaos Stars Record.
The light of the stars appears very faint and tiny.
However, when you observe carefully, or even look at it up close, the starlight will be dazzling!
It looks weak and tiny?
Shi Sheng looked up.
That tiny, yet completely unchanged halo.
This reminds me of that saying.
At the same time, he looked around at the environment filled with black demonic energy.
A guess formed in my mind.
"Shall we go up?"
Um?
Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, Mu Qingqing, and the others all looked at Shi Sheng!
Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng both looked serious.
It's known that Shi Sheng may have discovered something.
But the others frowned.
What does going up there mean?
deserter!
The golden-armored commander also looked at Mu Fusheng with confusion.
He knew that Shi Sheng was Mu Fusheng's senior brother.
But why would someone say something like that now?
Mu Qingqing also came over; she naturally knew the extraordinary qualities of her older brother and senior brother.
He's not the kind of person who's afraid of death!
Otherwise, when resisting the Extraterrestrial Evil Race, or when facing evil generals who are so much stronger than him...
Why didn't they run away?
What did you discover?
Shi Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. This is just my guess, and it needs to be verified."
Instantly.
Shi Sheng's words caused the already extremely dissatisfied crowd to erupt!
"Are you kidding me! If we go up now, won't all our previous efforts be wasted?"
"Besides, what did you do when they said they were going to go back upstairs!"
"If nothing is found and we end up back at the starting point, then we have to continue down?"
At this moment, Mu Fusheng said solemnly, "Let's try it. There's no better way."
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
Mu Qingqing also looked over.
Mu Fusheng continued, "Even if we grit our teeth and continue down, we'll likely remain on these steps indefinitely, and our Spiritual Qi will eventually be exhausted."
There's no better way.
After hearing this, Mu Qingqing gave a wry smile and nodded.
There really isn't a better way.
"In that case, let's go up."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The prince and princess, the two people with the highest status and power here, said so.
How could they possibly refuse?
Despite harboring doubts and dissatisfaction.
The group had no choice but to head upwards.
Shi Sheng kept his eyes glued to the halo above his head as he walked.
I don't know if it's right or wrong.
However, if that's really the case...
Therefore, this is the only way to break free from the illusion!
