In order to find the secrets of the Soul-devouring clan, Xing Jue decided to take a trip to the so-called Life Forbidden Area because he did not want to miss this opportunity.
But the deeper he went, the more uneasy Xing Jue felt. Even though the summoning from the depths of his soul became clearer and clearer, he was unable to determine whether it was a feeling or a word.
As he walked forward, the originally dusky forest started to become pitch-black. It was as if ink was everywhere, and one could not even see their fingers if they stretched their hands out.
"It seems that this place is indeed very strange. What exactly happened ten thousand years ago?"
Xing Jue knew that with his strength, darkness could not obstruct his vision. The situation in front of him meant that there was a special force field causing mischief.
Xing Jue lit up several talismans of light, but in such a strange place, the talismans of light could only light up a small area. Xing Jue's vision range did not surpass ten meters.
Thick tree vines and tough plants were like layers of iron walls as they blocked the path ahead. In addition to such a low visibility range, Xing Jue's path could be said to be extremely difficult.
Strangeness and uneasiness enveloped Xing Jue's surroundings. In such a difficult situation, unknowingly, Xing Jue walked for a total of three days.
In those three days, even though there were cries and growls from strange creatures, Xing Jue, who had concealed his aura, did not provoke them, nor did he cause them to appear.
And after three days, Xing Jue finally arrived in front of a tall rock wall.
The rock wall led straight to the top of the valley and was connected to the two sides. It was indestructible, as if a special Spirit Formation had been added onto it. If it was a normal person, they would definitely feel that they had reached the end of the Fallen Goose Valley.
However, Xing Jue discovered that the stone wall was a formation, a profound Spirit Formation. And behind the formation on the stone wall, it might be where the summoning Xing Jue was located.
"Who set up such a formation? What sort of connection does this place have with my Soul-devouring clan? "
Xing Jue asked himself as he could not come up with an answer. So, he started to use his Spirit Formation techniques to search for the formation's weakness. However, it had to be said that the formation was very profound.
In terms of profoundness, it was not much inferior to the Spirit Formation that covered the entire Fallen Goose Valley.
This was because these were all materialized formations. Although they were fake, unless one was a peerless expert or had a soul as sharp as Xing Jue's, it would be hard for them to differentiate the real from the fake.
Logically speaking, with Xing Jue's strength, it could be said that it was impossible for him to break the great formation that covered the Fallen Goose Valley. However, that great formation seemed to have been specially created for the Soul Devouring Clan.
Relying on the soul power of the Soul Eater Clan, although Xing Jue could not break the formation, he could open a passage to enter. This was also the reason why Xing Jue could bring everyone to the Fallen Goose Valley.
However, the formation in front of them was different. Although it was not as powerful as the Spirit Formation that covered the Fallen Goose Valley, it did not leave behind any special opening method for the Soul-Devouring Clan. If Xing Jue wanted to break it, he could only rely on his own understanding of Spirit Formation techniques.
However, after two full days of study, Xing Jue finally discovered the weakness of the Spirit Formation.
When the strange energy runes condensed on the stone wall in front of him, the stone wall that should have been incomparably hard actually started to slowly squirm like undulating waves.
Soon, the stone wall started to dissipate. At the end, a large door opened in front of Xing Jue. It was the door that led to the other side of the stone wall.
"Success!" Looking at the different scenery from the door in front of him, Xing Jue was extremely excited.
Without any hesitation, he flashed and stepped through the door. With his strength, he could only open the door for a short moment. After that short moment, it would close and he had to open it again.
"This … Could it be that there's someone living here?"
However, when Xing Jue stepped through the stone wall and looked at the scene in front of him, Xing Jue was completely stupefied.
There weren't any strange and ugly plants like in the depths of the Fallen Goose Valley. Instead, there were willow trees giving shade and groups of fertile fields. One could hear the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and one could see butterflies dancing.
Most importantly, on a small hill not far away with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Xing Jue actually saw a few exquisite grass huts.
The scene was like a paradise, but it also meant one thing to Xing Jue: there was someone living here!
"May I ask if there's anyone here?"
After discovering the grass huts, Xing Jue didn't have the time to admire the scenery. Instead, he directly landed in front of the grass hut and asked extremely respectfully.
At that moment, Xing Jue couldn't feel anyone's aura, but looking at the appearance of the grass hut, it was clear that there was someone living here.
Thinking of the powerful Spirit Formation walls and the power that could hide from his soul, Xing Jue knew that the person who lived here in seclusion was definitely extremely powerful.
So, he didn't dare to offend them. Instead, he stood outside the grass hut and respectfully called out towards the inside of the hut, hoping that someone would come out to talk to him.
However, after a few calls, no one walked out of the grass hut.
The space wasn't big, with a radius of no more than 50 kilometers. With Xing Jue's voice, even if he hid in any corner, he would still be able to hear his call.
Since no one responded, Xing Jue knew that the person definitely didn't want to see him.
"Senior, sorry for the offense!"
Seeing that his call was fruitless, Xing Jue respectfully bowed towards the grass hut. He didn't enter because he didn't want to offend the people there.
Swoosh!
A beam of light soared into the sky. Xing Jue crossed the small hill and arrived at a plain behind it. At that moment, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
In the middle of the small plain was a huge black hole that led straight to the depths of the ground. It was completely dark and bottomless, and the calling from the depths of his soul was coming from there.
"It's actually been reinforced with a boundary. Just what is inside?"
After Xing Jue landed, he discovered that there was an invisible boundary in front of the huge black hole. The boundary was very strong, but it couldn't block the call.
"Senior, did you seal this place?" Xing Jue turned his head and loudly called out to the grass huts.
"This place is related to junior's clan. No matter why senior sealed this place, junior must enter. If senior has offended you, I hope senior will forgive me!"
No one answered Xing Jue's call, but Xing Jue knew that there was definitely someone here. It was just that the person's strength was too profound, so he couldn't sense their existence.
Xing Jue thought about many things. He thought that the person living here might be related to the Spirit Eater race, or related to Old Man Cloud Ghost, or even completely unrelated.
Because if he was related to the Spirit Eater race and Old Man Cloud Ghost, there was no need for him to hide from Xing Jue. He should have already shown himself to meet Xing Jue.
But no matter who the person living here was, Xing Jue had to open the boundary that sealed the black hole. At least he could be sure that this black hole was definitely related to the Spirit Eater race.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Xing Jue first used Soul Burst to increase his strength. Then, he began to arrange the array to break this place. Although the boundary that sealed the black hole was not weak, it was much weaker than the rock wall boundary outside.
In just a moment, Xing Jue had opened the sealing boundary. However, at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly hesitated.
Xing Jue stood in front of the black hole and could clearly feel how strong the call was. However, he could also clearly hear an extremely eerie and terrifying voice coming from the black hole.
That voice made Xing Jue feel an aura of danger. The extremely dangerous feeling made him hesitate. He hesitated whether he should really enter this black hole that was filled with unknown things.
"Soul Avatar!"
In the end, Xing Jue still decided to enter. However, he did not take the risk personally. Instead, he used his Soul Avatar to investigate. After all, with Xing Jue's current strength, if he only used one Soul Avatar, it would not cause too much of a burden as long as it was not too far away.
Swish!
The Soul Avatar leaped into the black hole. Along with it were a few light talismans. However, this place was very dark. It was so dark that the effect of the light talismans was negligible.
During this period of time, Xing Jue did not stay idle. He set up a sealing formation outside the huge black hole, in case anything unexpected happened, so that he could seal it.
This was because Xing Jue could faintly feel that there was a lifeform in this black hole, and it was of a very terrifying level.
Although he did not know if the Spirit Formation he laid would be able to block that kind of existence's attack, at the very least, the Spirit Formation that the mysterious person used to cover this place was not very powerful.
So, Xing Jue felt that as long as he laid a Spirit Formation that was not inferior to the one before, he should be able to block that kind of terrifying existence.
* wuao *
However, just as the formation was about to be completed, a terrifying long cry suddenly rang out from the endless black hole.
The long cry caused the earth to tremble. The flocks of birds in the forest soared into the sky as they received a huge fright.
At that instant, even Xing Jue's face was pale and he was drenched in sweat. After a moment of blankness, he hurriedly continued to lay the sealing array. The instant it was completed, he quickly activated it and sealed the black hole once again.
* huhuhu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *
After finishing everything, Xing Jue collapsed onto the ground with a poof. The sweat on his body had already drenched his clothes and his face was filled with lingering fear.
This was because Xing Jue's avatar had encountered an extremely terrifying existence in the black hole. Before the avatar had even come into contact with him, it had already shattered his avatar with a furious roar.
One had to know that the soul clone had strength not inferior to Xing Jue's original body. Yet, it was so easily obliterated by that mysterious existence. From this, it could be seen how powerful that mysterious existence was.
"Exactly what is going on? This black hole definitely hides something related to my Soul-devouring clan. But why is there such a terrifying monster? Is it here to guard this place, or does it have some other goal? "
After a long time, Xing Jue heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the terrifying existence did not appear.
"Senior, sorry to disturb you!"
Xing Jue did not stay here for long because he still did not have the strength to enter this mysterious black hole. Moreover, the mysterious person here did not want to meet him. There was no point in him staying here.
However, just as Xing Jue left, two male figures appeared in a small forest not far away.
"You really want to meet him, don't you?" One of them laughed softly.
"Of course!" The other smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I am the same as you. However, the time is not ripe yet. We can only endure!"
"I know. I believe that he will succeed. When the time comes, all the mysteries will be revealed!"
"Yes, to be able to break the barrier I laid, enter this place, and force us to hide, this kid is really not simple!"
