"Who is it?" Su Yu felt a chill down his spine. How could someone who claimed to be ancient be human?
"Right in front of you."
Su Yu looked over. At the bottom of the dark crevice, there were only broken rocks. No, there was a tomb without a tablet!
The tomb was overgrown with weeds, desolate and lonely.
The voice had come from the tomb without a tablet.
Su Yu's heart trembled. A strong martial artist who had died thousands of years ago?
Su Yu thought for a moment, then bowed. "Thank you, elder."
The words on the tablet above the crevice changed three times. The first time was to remind them of the descent of death and to leave quickly. The second time was to remind Su Yu, who had lagged behind, to hide under the crevice.
Su Yu bowed to him for saving him twice.
"Hehe, aren't you going to ask who I am?" In the tomb without a tombstone, white smoke rose in spirals, and a transparent, misty figure drifted out of the tomb.
It turned into a white-robed old man.
His plain robe moved without wind. His hair and beard were all white. His old face was covered in wrinkles, as if he was on the brink of death.
Even though he was old, he was hale and hearty, full of energy. He had a peerless temperament, like a celestial being.
What surprised Su Yu was that this person was transparent! He even wondered if ghosts really existed in this world.
But his surprise was quickly replaced by calmness and vigilance. He replied calmly, "Rather than who you are, I am more concerned about whether you are a human or a ghost."
The old man nodded in admiration. "Interesting. You can remain calm despite seeing such a strange human form. It is hard to believe that you are only fifteen years old!"
"As you guessed, I am indeed a soul body. In the words of a normal person, I am a ghost!" The old man revealed his identity. It was a soul body from thousands of years ago!
His physical body had been destroyed, but his soul remained, forming the old man's current state.
Su Yu sucked in a breath of cold air! Soul body!
A human's soul could leave the physical body and exist alone?
The old man's state toppled Su Yu's worldview!
"When the soul reaches a certain level of strength, it can leave the physical body and travel the world. It is not surprising. You cannot understand it now, but one day, you will reach my level. Because you are also a prodigy of souls. "The old man smiled as he looked at Su Yu. He could see the strength of Su Yu's soul.
In front of the old man, apart from the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron, Su Yu felt as if his entire body had been seen through, and he had nowhere to hide.
Su Yu felt a chill in his heart, and he bowed to pay his respects. Senior Ghost. "
"Haha, this old man is Yun Yazi. I, Yun Ya, will do."
Su Yu memorized the name, and his eyeballs turned slightly. "Elder Yun Ya, may I ask if you have any requests for saving us twice?"
Actually, even if Yun Yazi did not ask for anything in return, Su Yu still wanted to do his part to repay him for saving his life. If not for Yun Yazi, Su Yu would have died in the deadly energy that day.
Yun Yazi was slightly stunned. He looked at Su Yu curiously and clicked his tongue in wonder. "I have seen countless people in my life, but there are very few who are as understanding as you at your age."
"I did have my own selfish motives for saving you." Yun Yazi sighed softly. "In the past, I was plotted against. My physical body was destroyed, and my soul was sealed in this place. I've been trying to break free for many years, but the existence of the seal prevents me from doing so." Yun Yazi looked at the screen of light above his head. That was the seal that suppressed his soul.
"Until a year ago, when there was an earthquake and the seal loosened, I was able to leave the tomb for a short period of time. However, I could only leave a hundred feet."
At this point, Su Yu understood Yun Yazi's request. He wanted to bring him away from this place.
Although he did not know who had sealed Yun Yazi and what his personality was like, he had saved Su Yu's life.
Furthermore, he had kindly reminded them of the descent of the light screen of death and told them to leave quickly. It seemed like he was not an evil person.
"Originally, I had hoped that one of you could bring me away. Who would have thought that evil creature would be so ambitious and rashly tamper with the seal, causing the light screen of death to descend and accidentally put all of you in danger, trapping you here as well." Yun Yazi sighed.
Evil creature? Who?
Su Yu suddenly remembered that Yun Yazi had said that Su Yu was the second person he had seen in all these years.
Then who was the first person?
For some reason, Su Yu thought of the red-eyed ghost at the bottom of the abyss of Wutong.
Could it be him?
Keeping his doubts, Su Yu said, "Elder Yun Ya, how can I save you and leave this place?"
Since the red-eyed ghost had alarmed the light screen of death and could leave, Su Yu should be able to leave as well.
Yun Yazi was slightly stunned. Su Yu had taken the initiative to save him, which surprised him.
"Saving me is easy. If you have a treasure that can contain and nourish souls, you can," Yun Yazi said.
A treasure that can contain and nourish souls? Su Yu was troubled. The only treasure he had was the Divine Ice Ring. It was bone-piercing cold and was not suitable for nourishing souls.
Suddenly, Su Yu thought of the jade box in his robes. That item was extremely shocking. It was protected by a terrifying corpse, so it must be extraordinary.
Taking out the jade box, Su Yu said, "Elder, can this item be used?"
"Eh! The divine artifact of the Wutong Sect's Sovereign is actually in your hands! "Yun Yazi revealed a shocked expression for the first time, looking at Su Yu with surprise.
Divine artifact? Su Yu's heart thumped. Furthermore, it was the so-called divine artifact of the Wutong Sect's Sovereign. Could the Sovereign be the master of the abyss of Wutong?
If that was the case, the power of the divine artifact would be even more extraordinary!
Knowing that Su Yu had accidentally obtained it from the space, Yun Yazi did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You and Tang Yixuan's luck is extraordinary! That space should be the place where the Wutong Sect's Sovereign passed away. It formed a space of its own and was sealed for eternity. There is only a transportation spell to leave, but no way to enter! Even the people of the abyss of Wutong would find it difficult to enter.
"As for the two of you, because the spell has been in disrepair for a long time, you accidentally entered that sealed space and obtained the jade box. Your luck is truly extraordinary!
"You should know that the value of all the treasures in the entire abyss of Wutong is not even a fraction of the value of this jade box." Yun Yazi exclaimed.
What? This jade box was so precious? Su Yu's heart thumped slightly. The harvest this time was beyond his imagination.
"Elder, what treasure is in the jade box? Can you enter it? "Su Yu asked.
Yun Yazi's expression was slightly grave. "It can barely store my soul body. However, I advise you not to open the jade box. With your current weak cultivation base, it will only bring harm and no benefit."
Su Yu shivered. Thinking back to the corpse, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes just from looking at it.
It could be imagined that the jade box definitely contained a powerful force. Opening it rashly might be a disaster.
"Elder, please come in." Su Yu extended the jade box.
Yun Yazi was startled. "Are you not afraid that I will go back on my word? After I escape, I will bite the hand that feeds me and snatch the jade box? Even though I am a soul body, dealing with you is as easy as flipping my hand. "
Su Yu smiled bitterly. "Of course I am worried. Elder, your origins are unknown and you are unfathomable. I will definitely be at risk."
"Then you …" Yun Yazi did not understand. Su Yu had already considered this.
Su Yu stopped smiling bitterly, regaining his composure. "I, Su Yu, will always repay favors! Even if you are a ghost, it will still be the same. "
Even though he knew there were risks, he would still repay favors?
Yun Yazi looked at Su Yu deeply, secretly admiring him. There was a shred of hesitation deep in his eyes.
Withdrawing his strange expression, Yun Yazi shook his head and laughed. "Hahaha, what a good 'repay favors'! If that is the case, I can be at ease! If you are like that evil creature, even if you ask me, I will not leave with you! "
Whoosh —
Yun Yazi turned into a ball of transparent smoke and entered the jade box.
Yun Yazi's old laughter could be heard from the jade box. "Little brat, don't worry. Even though I am in trouble, this jade box is nothing to me. When I recover my peak abilities, I might not even take a look at the jade box even if you give it to me."
Su Yu clicked his tongue. What arrogance! In Yun Yazi's eyes, such a shocking jade box was something that he would not even take a look at!
What kind of expert was he? Why did he die here?
"Elder, may I ask how I can leave this place?" Su Yu asked.
The jade box was silent for a moment before an awkward reply came. "Cough cough …" "Don't you know?"
Whoosh —
A gust of wind blew past. Su Yu froze on the spot, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead!
He had been counting on the help of this mysterious elder!
In the end, he did not know either!
"That evil creature," Yun Yazi thought. "Since he could enter and leave freely, there must be a passageway. I was suppressed by the seal and could not leave within a hundred feet of it. Hence, I could not detect the location of the passageway. You have extraordinary eyesight. Check carefully."
Su Yu had the same thought. He had already activated his crystalline pupils to observe.
Suddenly, he discovered a crack on the stone wall that could only allow one person to pass through!
The angle was remote and deliberately hidden. Hence, Su Yu did not notice it at first.
With a flash, Su Yu approached the crack, intending to enter.
"Wait!" Yun Yazi suddenly reminded him.
Su Yu stopped abruptly, his face filled with surprise. "Why, is there a trap in the crack? Why did I not notice it? "
Yun Yazi said in a low voice. "That evil creature's cultivation level is far above yours. It is normal that you could not detect the tricks he left behind."
Whoosh —
A bolt of soul energy extended, striking the entrance of the crack.
Creak —
A layer of scarlet flame that was hard to see with the naked eye appeared at the clearly empty entrance.
The intense heat caused Su Yu's heart to beat wildly. He immediately retreated dozens of meters!
What a terrifying flame!
If he had touched it carelessly just now, would he not have been reduced to ashes immediately?
"His methods are vicious. In order to prevent others from barging in, he hid such a trap. That evil creature!" Yun Yazi grunted. A bolt of soul energy swept out, extinguishing the terrifying scarlet flame on the spot.
As for Yun Yazi's soul, it was unharmed!
What a terrifying soul! Such a terrifying flame could be extinguished by a soul!
How powerful was he when he was alive?
Su Yu said, "Elder, I shall enter then."
Unexpectedly, Yun Yazi looked into the depths of the crack. After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly. "I'm afraid you will be trapped here forever.
Even though the flame in the cave has been extinguished, there are many sparks hidden in the cave. The temperature is extremely high. With your cultivation level, it would be difficult for you to last more than a cup of tea. "
Su Yu looked into the crack. Indeed, he discovered that within the crack, there were extremely hot flames dancing sporadically.
If he were to enter rashly, Su Yu would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
Who had left it behind? The scarlet flame was so terrifying? Su Yu's heart sank.
"Unless your cultivation level reaches Seventh Level Holy King and you have powerful spirit energy to resist it, otherwise …" Yun Yazi sighed. With Su Yu's current cultivation level of Fourth Level Peak, the breakthrough to Seventh Level Holy King was not something that could be achieved in a few days.
