The lake below was very different from the description on the map that Liu Ming had obtained. According to the markings on the map, the Dark Wind Valley should lead directly to a swamp.
Now, the two of them were surrounded by mountains and lakes. There was no sign of a swamp at all.
Could it be that they had accidentally barged into some kind of restriction again?
Yin Liu heard this and looked around. He closed his eyes and meditated again.
After a while, he opened his eyes, but his face was very gloomy.
"This place should not be far from the Ghost King's Sorrow, but …"
However, before he could finish his sentence, the entire lake below seemed to be boiling. Bubbles kept popping up, and the originally calm lake suddenly became turbulent. As the huge waves surged, an incomparably large whirlpool appeared.
The clear lake water suddenly became as black as ink, and the surrounding air suddenly cooled down.
"This … this is the water of the River Styx!"
Liu Ming only scanned the lake with his divine sense and immediately cried out.
The next moment, he only felt his body sink. A huge force surged out from the whirlpool, almost directly pulling him down. At the same time, "puff puff puff" sounds rang out from all directions. Suddenly, a water column as thick as a water tank suddenly rushed out from the lake, like a cage, trapping the two of them inside.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's expression changed. He patted the eight-legged sea beast on his chest, and a silver light flashed behind him. The wind whistled loudly, and he soared into the sky.
But at this moment, Yin Liu's faint voice transmission came into his ears.
"Brother Yin, the path to the Ghost King's Sorrow should be at the bottom of this lake."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue light around Yin Liu's body flowed, and a blue carp shadow appeared in a flash, wrapping him in it. With a splash, he turned into a blue shadow and went straight toward the whirlpool.
However, Liu Ming's expression was uncertain. Finally, after his eyes flashed a few times, he released rolling black gas, and turned into a silver and black evasive light that rushed down.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Two loud sounds rang out!
Liu Ming and Yin Liu went into the whirlpool one after another.
The huge waves in the surroundings slammed into the center of the lake at the same time. Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, and the whole lake was also overturned.
Liu Ming only felt that the surrounding water was spinning quickly. At this moment, a blue light flashed not far below, and a huge blue fishtail shadow swept past, forcibly pushing the waves around Liu Ming to the sides, opening up a path for itself.
Liu Ming did not hesitate. The wings on his back shook, and he turned into a silver light, chasing after the blue carp.
In the end, there was no special danger on this waterway, other than some whirlpools and lunar beasts that appeared from time to time.
Under Liu Ming's water escape technique, they passed through safely and came to a dilapidated teleportation array at the bottom of the lake.
After a moment of dizziness, the two of them were teleported to a cave filled with ice crystals.
…
In the following time, the two passed through a few more restrictions. Although they encountered danger again and again, and were a little embarrassed, they finally managed to survive one by one.
Although Yin Liu's magic power and magic power were greatly restricted, he could always take out some strange things to help the two pass through difficult times. He seemed to have some kind of premonition ability, and many times he gave a warning in advance, allowing them to avoid danger several times.
These performances made Liu Ming click his tongue in wonder, but he became more and more suspicious of Yin Liu's true identity.
Yin Liu seemed to feel Liu Ming's surprised gaze, but he showed a nonchalant look.
At this moment, the two of them were in a dusky space. They had entered this place through a dilapidated Teleportation Formation in the depths of a cave.
Liu Ming looked around, and his heart moved.
This place was somewhat similar to the space he entered in the mysterious bubble.
For some reason, in this space, his originally suppressed cultivation had recovered, and his magic power was gradually replenished.
"Could this be the Ghost King's Mourning?" Liu Ming said doubtfully.
Yin Liu looked around and shook his head at Liu Ming, "Don't worry.
"According to what I know, this shouldn't be the Ghost King's Mourning. However, I have a feeling that it's only a step away from it."
Hearing this, Liu Ming could not help but laugh bitterly. Just as he was about to say something, the gray space in front of him rippled.
Seeing this, Liu Ming and Yin Liu hurriedly put on a defensive stance.
On the way here, the two had already seen all kinds of strange restrictions in the Ghost King's Mourning. They did not know what it was this time …
Ripples appeared in the gray space, and with a flash of gray light, a huge mirror appeared in front of the two. The image of Liu Ming and Yin Liu clearly appeared in it. It looked extremely realistic, and even the shocked expressions on their faces were vividly displayed.
The ripples in the surrounding space gradually calmed down, and soon returned to normal, as if nothing special had happened.
"Mirror? What kind of restriction is this? "Yin Liu looked at himself in the mirror, then turned to look at his surroundings as he asked in shock.
Liu Ming was also very surprised, but at this moment, Rahu's deep voice sounded in his ear.
"This is the Chaotic Rebirth Formation, one of the ten great ancient formations. It can replicate the image of a trapped person and use it to fight with them. Furthermore, it can only leave after a victor has been decided. I shouldn't have warned you, but this formation will cause your Chaotic Rebirth Formation to reappear. It's very easy for ordinary people to be shaken, causing their minds to be unsettled and easily defeated by the image. Once you're defeated, you'll become a puppet-like existence, and your spirit will be devoured by the formation. However, in my opinion, if you pass this stage, you'll probably be able to enter the true Ghost King's Mourning. "
"Thank you for your warning, Senior."
After hearing this, Liu Ming's facial muscles twitched, and he hurriedly replied in his sea of consciousness.
"I forgot to remind you, there aren't many who can truly pass through this formation and survive. As for thanking me, let's wait until you come back alive. "After Rahu laughed coldly, he did not say anything else.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed. Just as he was about to think of a way to break through the formation, the huge mirror in front of him had already changed.
A layer of light suddenly flashed on the surface of the mirror, and a grey pillar of light shot out, enveloping Liu Ming's body.
"Hiss, hiss …"
The grey pillar of light shone on his body, and a wave of black Qi appeared on his body. The middle-aged man that had been transformed using the Thousand Transformations Cloak disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and his body swayed, leaving behind a series of afterimages. For a moment, the entire place was filled with Liu Ming's figures.
However, no matter how Liu Ming changed his body, the grey pillar of light was like maggots in his bones, enveloping his body.
"Don't waste your energy. As long as you are still in this grey space, it is impossible for you to escape." Rahu's voice sounded in Liu Ming's mind.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and his figure flashed. He stopped, and the figures all over the place dissipated.
When Yin Liu saw this, a strange expression appeared on his face. Unexpectedly, he was not too surprised by the change in Liu Ming's expression.
At this moment, Liu Ming's figure in the mirror suddenly became blurred, and then an image appeared.
After Liu Ming's eyes swept over it, his body suddenly stiffened!
In the huge mirror in front of him, the figure of a huge island appeared, surrounded by black fog. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a savage and desolate land.
Two huge ships were parked at the edge of the island, and on the shore near the ships, two groups of people were fighting fiercely.
A group of people who looked like prisoners wore animal skin clothes and held a variety of simple weapons made of animal bones. The other group of people seemed to be soldiers, wearing iron armor, and were obviously much better equipped.
The battle was fierce. As time went by, the prisoners relied on their large numbers and gradually overwhelmed the soldiers.
"This is … Savage Island …" The expression on Liu Ming's face changed. In the midst of the fierce fighting, a skinny young man was holding a green steel short sword. He cleanly and neatly knocked down soldiers one after another.
The young man still had a trace of childishness on his face, and the fierce fighting didn't seem to affect his expression at all.
Liu Ming's gaze fell on the young man's face in the mirror, and an inexplicable emotion emerged in his heart.
The image in the mirror changed rapidly, and scenes from his distant memories appeared clearly in his mind.
Escaping from Savage Island, joining Barbarian Ghost Sect, advancing to Spiritual Master, Sea Clan War, being captured in South Sea, wandering to Middle Sky Continent, joining Taiqing Gate …
The scene in the mirror seemed to reproduce all his experiences since he was born. It even showed the scene of his first demonization and being possessed by the demonic spirit. The more profound the memory, the clearer the scene in the mirror.
The corner of Liu Ming's eyes twitched a few times, and he secretly glanced at Yin Liu.
The mirror reflected almost all of his previous experiences. His identity as a human had been completely exposed, and he didn't know how Yin Liu would react.
However, everything about Luo Hu and the mysterious bubble was not shown in the mirror. It should have been covered by Luo Hu's spell, which made Liu Ming feel a lot more at ease.
The scene in the mirror changed quickly, and finally stopped at the moment when Liu Ming broke into the Netherworld Realm.
Hum …
The gray mirror rippled again, and all the pictures dissipated, and a figure of Liu Ming reappeared.
In the mirror, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Liu Ming's face. His figure moved, and he walked out of the mirror. He stood a few feet away from Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's expression changed. The person in front of him was exactly the same as him, no matter if it was the clothes or the breath he exuded.
"The power of the Chaotic Rebirth Formation is that it can detect all the information of the cultivator within the range of the formation, and then create a phantom with the same strength as the real person. You know, the most difficult thing for people to defeat is themselves." Luo Hu's voice sounded, and then quickly became low.
Hearing this, Liu Ming stared at the "Liu Ming" opposite him, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
