The deeper they went into the Corpse Storage Cave, the more spacious it became. At the bottom, cold coffins floated in mid-air.
The coffins were of different shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were black, heavy and heavy. Some were red, beautiful and demonic. Some were old and shabby. God knew how long they had been there. Some were so rotten that only half of them were left.
But without exception, all of the coffins emitted a gloomy and eerie Ghost Qi.
The little fox covered her mouth as she stared at the coffins in horror. Her little face was slightly pale. The coffins were not frightening. What was frightening was that there were many bloody corpses lying on top of the coffins. There were men and women … It could be seen that those corpses were either Trial Takers or Shaman Tribe's Moon Maiden Candidates.
"The Corpse Storage Cave is a dangerous place. If you can get through, you can. If you can't, you will die."
Ye Zhiyan said plainly.
She was not surprised at all by the scene before her. Since ancient times, countless people had died in the Corpse Storage Cave. Even though the Moon Maiden candidates knew that this place was dangerous, they could only come. Perhaps, not long after, she would also become a corpse in the Corpse Storage Cave.
"These coffins are strange. Moreover, there seems to be a connection between all the coffins. It is like a huge stratagem. It is quite mysterious."
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes. There were countless coffins floating in the air in the entire Corpse Storage Cave. From here to the end of the cave, he could not see the end.
He was a Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivator. If even he could not see the end, it showed how deep this Corpse Storage Cave was and how many coffins there were.
"You have a good eye. It is said that this Corpse Depository Cave is a naturally formed danger zone. It is not that someone deliberately arranged this place, but during the Primordial Era, when the peerless Corpse God died, he left behind a will of the Heavenly Way that formed a law that enveloped this Corpse Depository Cave.
Under the influence of the will of the Heavenly Path, this cave became like this after countless years.
The will of a Heavenly Path Saint was enough to change a world. Even after he died, the place where he was buried would be greatly affected.
"If you want to get through the Corpse Storage Cave, there is only one way, and that is to step over the coffins in the air. We can't go underground. If we go above ground, we'll be instantly killed by the Corpse Goddess's remnant will, "Ye Zhiyan said calmly.
They could only step over the coffin in the air, which meant that they had no choice but to break through the strange natural formation.
"However, the history of the Corpse Storage Cave is quite long. Generations after generations have come here, and they have concluded some relatively safe routes. If you walk along these routes, it will be relatively safer. Of course, there are no absolutes in the Corpse Storage Cave. The rules here are always changing. "
The information that Ye Zhiyan had could only reduce the danger based on past experience, but it could not completely reduce the danger. This was because this place was constantly changing. The safest place might become the most dangerous place after a period of time.
"You tell me how to get out of here," Mo Wen said plainly. He could naturally tell that this Corpse Hiding Cave was not a place to simply barge into.
"Follow my footsteps. Wherever I go, you will follow."
Ye Zhiyan stomped her foot, and her entire body flew up using the rebound force. The next moment, she was standing on top of a coffin. The coffin shook slightly, seemingly swaying twice. A sinister wind blew from the depths of the cave, causing Ye Zhiyan's dress to flutter. However, very quickly, there was no more movement.
"Only one person can stand on a coffin at the same time. If two people stand on a coffin, the danger will increase tenfold," Ye Zhiyan reminded him, then walked towards the second coffin.
"You'll be the second one," Mo Wen said as he looked at the Little Fox.
The Little Fox nodded, following Ye Zhiyan's route, and stepped onto the coffin that she was previously on.
Swoosh!
The coffin shook violently. The next moment, a sinister wind blew in the cave, almost blowing her off the coffin. Luckily, her reaction was fast enough, and she steadied herself in time.
"With your cultivation, if you don't have anyone to protect you, the chances of getting through the Corpse Hiding Cave are almost zero," Ye Zhiyan said as she glanced at the Little Fox.
Among the three of them, the Little Fox's cultivation was the lowest. She was only at the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm. It was indeed rare for someone with such cultivation to dare to enter the Corpse Hiding Cave.
If it were her, she would rather seek some opportunities outside than come here to die. Many Moon Maiden candidates with insufficient cultivation cleverly stayed in the outer perimeter, not coming to these dangerous areas.
"I don't need you to worry about me." The Little Fox softly snorted, then stepped onto the second coffin.
Mo Wen was the third to go up. He had just stepped onto the coffin when he felt a force emanating from the coffin, as though it wanted to shake him off. However, this bit of power was clearly far from enough to deal with him.
Ye Zhiyan walked in front. Using the coffin's buoyancy, she walked step by step towards the depths of the Corpse Hiding Cave. The further they went, the more dangerous the situation became. There were even a few times when the Little Fox almost fell down. Luckily, Mo Wen was always behind her, looking after her.
Below them, a terrifying power of the Heavenly Path law covered them. Once they fell down, they would instantly die.
The further they went, the more cautious Mo Wen became. Along the way, they saw no less than a hundred corpses. Those corpses had clearly died not long ago, and they were all immortal cultivators who had come to enter the Corpse Hiding Cave.
After walking for about two hours, the three of them seemed to have good luck. Other than a few small twists and turns, they actually did not encounter too much danger.
"There are a few more people coming to die."
Suddenly, a light laugh sounded in front of them. The voice had a hint of cynicism. His words did not have any ill intentions. It was just a simple tease.
"Eh, there are so many people in front." The Little Fox's big eyes twinkled. She looked curiously in front of her. Not far in front of them, there were actually more than ten immortal cultivators standing where they were. They did not continue forward, as though they were hesitating about something.
"Something must have happened in the area ahead." Ye Zhiyan's expression froze. There was only one possibility for such a situation to occur. The road ahead was extremely dangerous, and no one dared to continue forward.
"Oh, is that the fourth round that you mentioned?"
Mo Wen asked curiously. According to Ye Zhiyan, although the Corpse Hiding Cave was filled with danger, there was also a chance of survival everywhere. Theoretically, if one was lucky enough, a Primordial Soul realm cultivator could also possibly make it through the Corpse Hiding Cave.
However, if one encountered another situation, it would be rather dangerous. This kind of situation was called a dead end!
When a dead end appeared, no matter which path one took, there would be great danger. Only those who were strong enough could make it through.
The appearance of such a dead end was a phenomenon in stages. Perhaps after a period of time, it would disappear on its own and return to normal.
Needless to say, those immortal cultivators had definitely encountered a situation like a dead end if they stayed where they were.
Soon, Mo Wen and the other two walked in front of the immortal cultivators. There were endless coffins here. Not just a few dozen people, but even tens of thousands could stand in them.
"Ye Zhiyan, you are not slow either." A woman's voice sounded. The person who spoke was a woman dressed in white from the northwest corner. Her clothes were exactly the same as Ye Zhiyan's. It was obvious that she was also a Moon Maiden candidate. This woman was beautiful, but her eyes were too long and narrow. She gave off a feeling that she was not easy to get along with.
"Liang Qiujing, you are not dead yet." Ye Zhiyan raised her eyebrows and laughed coldly.
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere immediately changed. It was obvious that the two of them had a conflict.
"If you are not dead, how can I die? I didn't expect you to actually dare to mingle with the preliminary cultivators. You are really bold. "
The Moon Maiden candidate called Liang Qiujing glanced at Mo Wen and the little fox. There was a strange look in her eyes.
In the preliminary, the Moon Maiden candidates and the preliminary cultivators could be said to be mortal enemies. If they met, it would be either one of them who would die. There were dozens of immortal cultivators here. The Moon Maiden candidates and the preliminary cultivators took up about half of them. However, there had never been a situation where the Moon Maiden candidates and the preliminary cultivators stood together. They were rather guarded against each other and were at least 500 meters apart.
Ye Zhiyan laughed coldly and ignored Liang Qiujing. She looked at another Moon Maiden candidate and said, "Is there a dead end ahead?"
The Moon Maiden candidate nodded slightly and said, "There are already more than ten immortal cultivators who have died in the road ahead. You guys better be careful. Try to wait for a while."
Ye Zhiyan nodded her head. She found a coffin and stayed where she was without moving.
When Mo Wen saw that Ye Zhiyan was not moving, he did not say anything. He found a coffin and sat down cross-legged.
"Little Fox, come over here." Mo Wen waved at You Qianyue and said.
"Big brother …" The little fox looked at Mo Wen, puzzled. Just now, Ye Zhiyan had made it very clear that it was a big taboo for two people to appear on the same coffin at the same time. The level of danger would increase tenfold.
"It's alright. Come over here," Mo Wen said plainly.
He had asked the little fox to come to his coffin so that it would be convenient for him to protect her. There were all kinds of people here, and the little fox could be said to be the one with the lowest cultivation. If he had asked her to stay by herself, there was no telling what would happen.
He had just casually glanced around and realized that the lowest level of the cultivators here was the Supreme Profundity Realm. None of them were simple. However, it made sense. Those who could make it here were all ordinary people.
"Alright." Although the little fox had not spent much time with Mo Wen, she knew that he would not do anything he was not confident of. After getting Mo Wen's permission, she took a step forward and arrived on top of Mo Wen's coffin.
Ye Zhiyan frowned. She had already emphasized many times that two people should not stand on the same coffin at the same time. However, Mo Wen clearly did not take her words seriously. However, at this moment, she did not say anything. It was because Mo Wen had already made his decision. Anything she said would be useless.
Rumble!
The moment the little fox stepped on Mo Wen's coffin, the entire coffin suddenly shook violently. An extremely shocking cold Qi swept out, attracting the gazes of all the surrounding people.
The coffin seemed to come to life. It kept shaking and making loud noises. One could even faintly hear a roar coming from the coffin.
