The secret zone of the Soul Pass was so vast that it was like an enormous underground city. The internal routes were intricate and complicated.
If it were any other newcomer, they would find it difficult to find a place to cultivate without someone leading the way, and would easily get lost.
However, Xing Jue had the guidance of his soul, and did not need to lead the way at all. But since Liu Qiang insisted, Xing Jue naturally could not refuse.
After all, he could not tell Liu Qiang that he also had the guidance of his soul, and could find a place to cultivate on his own.
In the vast secret zone of the Soul Pass, Xing Jue and Liu Qiang walked along the wide and dignified passage.
Even though tens of thousands of years had passed, and the Soul Pass had long fallen into desolation, Xing Jue still felt proud of the deeds of his ancestors as he looked at the glory recorded on the wall.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, this is the place to cultivate."
Under Liu Qiang's lead, Xing Jue and Liu Qiang arrived at a vast place. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was vast, because this place could be described as another world.
Within the circular hall, the galaxy above flowed, and the ground was surrounded by runes, filled with mysterious colours.
There were tens of thousands of stone chairs floating in the air, floating without any pattern. As Liu Qiang had said, this was the place to cultivate in the Soul Pass.
"How extravagant."
Xing Jue gasped in admiration as he gazed at the magnificent scene before him. He could tell that this vast space was actually a huge formation.
Every place, every stone chair, every talisman, was an indispensable key to this formation.
The mysteriousness of this formation was far beyond what Xing Jue could comprehend. Xing Jue could not set up a formation like this. Even if he could see its profundities, he could only see the surface of it.
"It is indeed extravagant. However, this place is only a seemingly spectacular but useless decoration." Liu Qiang shook his head helplessly.
Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Xing Jue also spread his soul outwards, wanting to sense some of the mysteries within.
However, what surprised Xing Jue was that he was actually unable to sense any strange energy within this mysterious formation.
In this way, this place was really as Liu Qiang had said, it was just a decoration, and it couldn't bring about the effect of cultivation like the secret grounds of the other three tests.
"No, this isn't just a decoration. It's just that the door to cultivation has been closed."
Suddenly, Xing Jue's heart skipped a beat. After some observation, he found something strange about the formation.
This was because he discovered that even though the formation was operating, a crucial part of it was in a closed state.
It was like a strange lock that closed off the strange energy that should have existed. If one wanted to obtain that energy, they had to open this lock.
"Junior brother Xing Jue, you actually …" However, when Xing Jue's words left his mouth, Liu Qiang's face instantly became shocked.
"Senior Brother Liu Qiang, is there something wrong?" Xing Jue was puzzled by Liu Qiang's reaction.
"This is definitely not a coincidence. It's definitely not a coincidence. Back then, that junior sister who went berserk also said something similar to you."
"She said that this isn't the end of the Pass of the Soul. There's definitely a door that leads to another space somewhere here."
"And that place contains the true power of the Pass of the Soul, the power that's summoning her soul." Liu Qiang was in slight disbelief.
"Soul summoning? Right, perhaps this is the source of opening that door. "
"Senior brother Liu Qiang, thank you so much."
Just at this moment, Xing Jue was suddenly overjoyed. If not for Liu Qiang's reminder, Xing Jue would have almost forgotten that what attracted him here was the intense summoning from the depths of his soul.
Suddenly, Xing Jue closed his eyes once again. He discovered that the closer he got to this place, the weaker the summoning became. However, if he carefully sensed it, he could still find some traces.
After a moment of sensing, Xing Jue walked to a wall in the vast hall. In front of him was an extremely large mural.
The mural was cast from runes. It seemed to be made of copper and iron, but it was indestructible. Its form was rather blurry, but one could roughly make out that it was made up of countless unknown creatures.
There were so many creatures that one could not even see them with the naked eye. However, what shocked Xing Jue was that after approaching, he discovered that every single one of these countless creatures was actually as large as Xing Jue. From this, it could be seen just how large this mural was.
Whoosh. Suddenly, Xing Jue flew up and arrived at the center of the mural.
"There's actually someone in this mural. Why haven't I discovered it before?"
Following Xing Jue's figure, Liu Qiang felt a wave of excitement. This was because what was before them was no longer a blurry creature, but the back of a human.
"Senior brother Liu Qiang, could it be that you've never seen the person in this mural?" Xing Jue expressed his doubt.
"Back then, we had nothing better to do and wanted to count the number of demons in this mural. Although we were unable to find it in the end, we've seen this mural at least a hundred times.
"However, after a hundred careful observations, we've never discovered the existence of a human in this mural." Liu Qiang explained.
"Oh? It seems like this mural is indeed extraordinary. "
Xing Jue smiled faintly, and a smear of anticipation had already surfaced on his face.
Just as Liu Qiang was at a loss, Xing Jue had already stretched out his palm and gently pressed on the back of that human.
This was because this was the source of the summoning of Xing Jue. In other words, this was the crucial place to open the other door.
"Oh no, this feeling …"
However, just as he touched the mural, Xing Jue felt a sense of unease. He discovered that the soul in his body was surging into the mural like a tidal wave, and he couldn't control it at all.
In fact, even if Xing Jue wanted to remove his palm from the mural, he was already powerless to do so. This mural seemed to want to squeeze out Xing Jue's soul dry.
"Junior brother Xing Jue, what's wrong with you?"
"Ugh!"
Seeing that Xing Jue's expression wasn't right, Liu Qiang quickly went up to support him. However, before he could touch Xing Jue, a powerful force sent Liu Qiang flying.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, the galaxy in the sky actually sped up, and the mural scrolls on the vast wall also began to shine brightly.
"Rumble!"
Just as Liu Qiang was overwhelmed with fear, a series of rumbling sounds came from all directions.
After a while, when everything calmed down, Xing Jue and Liu Qiang's faces were filled with excitement.
Especially Liu Qiang. Compared to Xing Jue's expected excitement, Liu Qiang's body was trembling, and his eyes were shining brightly. He even suspected that what he was seeing was an illusion.
This was because countless heavenly gates had appeared all around them, and layers of strange energy were constantly overflowing from the gates and pouring into the great array.
At this moment, the entire vast hall was completely different from before. It was no longer operating in silence, but a true sacred place.
"Look, what … what's that?"
However, compared to the surrounding gates that were purely emitting energy, they were actually impassable.
In front of the mural that Xing Jue had touched before, a real gate had opened. This was the gate that led to the first place.
While Liu Qiang was exclaiming, Xing Jue had already noticed the scene in front of him, because at this moment, the summoning from his soul was several times stronger than before.
"Swoosh!"
Xing Jue passed through the gate like a ray of light, and Liu Qiang followed closely behind.
This passage wasn't long, and soon, a vast hall appeared in front of them. At this moment, Liu Qiang, who was already shocked, couldn't stay calm anymore.
What appeared in front of the two of them was a giant statue. The texture of the statue was very special, and there was a faint brilliance lingering around it, giving people a sacred and inviolable feeling.
However, compared to the texture of the statue, what was more attractive was the statue's appearance.
The wild and unruly long hair was tied behind his shoulders, and the majestic armor was worn on his body. His hands were empty without any weapons, but he gave off an invincible feeling.
His appearance couldn't be said to be handsome, but he had an incomparable charm. That was the supreme majesty, the demeanor of a king.
When this person stood there, it was as if everything in the world had to submit to him. Although it was just a stone statue, there was an impulse to kneel and kowtow in front of him.
An expert, a true expert, the existence at the top of the vast Sanctuary.
In front of him, all the experts that Xing Jue had seen before were not even worth mentioning. They couldn't be compared at all.
"This … this … this person … could he be?!"
Liu Qiang's twitching face and trembling lips had already expressed the emotions in his heart at this moment.
"Plop."
However, before Liu Qiang could finish speaking, his trembling legs suddenly knelt on the ground. He actually couldn't control himself and kowtowed to the stone statue.
"Junior Xing Jue kowtows to the ancestor!"
At the same time, Xing Jue also knelt on the ground and kowtowed with a face full of sincerity.
Different from Liu Qiang, Xing Jue was not controlled by the pressure emitted by the stone statue. Instead, he wanted to kowtow from the bottom of his heart.
This was because this stone statue was none other than the creator of the Soul Pass, the legendary figure that pushed the Spirit Eater Clan to the peak, Hun Wuji.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, white light covered Xing Jue's eyes. The dazzling splendor made Xing Jue not dare to look at it, and he could only shut his eyes tightly.
Only after a while did he feel the splendor recede. However, when Xing Jue opened his eyes again, even he, who had always been calm, could no longer remain calm.
At this moment, Liu Qiang, who was originally by his side, was gone, and so was the huge statue. What appeared in front of Xing Jue was a world of its own.
The pitch-black space was boundless, and a faint splendor appeared in the distance. Occasionally, groups of shooting stars would pass by. This place was the depths of the Sanctuary.
"Sanctuary? When did I leave this world and come to the depths of the Sanctuary? "Xing Jue was shocked. This was a real feeling, but he didn't dare to confirm whether it was real or an illusion.
"Roar."
Suddenly, an ear-piercing roar was heard. The roar carried a powerful sound wave, and the sound wave made Xing Jue spin.
He was like a weak ant, bobbing up and down in a gale. He couldn't escape and could only wait for it to calm down.
"What is that? Could that be … the creature in the painting? "
After the violent sound wave hurricane passed, Xing Jue, who was able to stabilize his body, was shocked again.
Because at the edge of the vast Sanctuary, a huge shadow was approaching.
It was impossible to describe how big it was. It was as big as a continent, and could even be compared to a small world.
However, it was undeniable that it was a living being. Those star-like eyes and that blurry silhouette made Xing Jue feel that it was the creature in the painting.
However, the real monster in front of him brought an irresistible pressure to Xing Jue. It was an unprecedented fear.
