The trio slowly advanced forward.
As expected, the path that the other party had taken was not too dangerous.
Most likely, the young men had intentionally destroyed all traces of their whereabouts when they abducted Zhao Ya and the others. Given that they were in a perilous location, they might have thought that no one would be able to follow them, so they let their guard down. Even though the traces they had left behind were not too obvious, Zhang Xuan was still able to find them through the Eye of Insight.
"The strength of these four people is indeed powerful …"
Zhang Xuan remarked grimly.
If not for the Eye of Insight increasing with one's cultivation, it would have been difficult for even him to notice these faint traces!
To be able to do so without any effort at all, just how powerful were the other party?
Most likely, they were not a match for Yang shi, but they were not too far off either. With the four of them working together, Yang shi was bound to lose!
With such cultivation, it was no wonder Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, and the others were unable to escape.
"Most likely, they are no pushovers even among the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Due to the unique constitution of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, even though they were born stronger than humans and had a longer lifespan, there were only a handful of them who had reached the level of Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for humans to guard the Master Teacher Continent against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
If they were to kill all of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it would be a huge blow to them as well.
"There are traces of a battle ahead …"
After advancing for a moment, Wu Chen took the lead and walked over.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly followed behind him. Traces of zhenqi could be seen all around, and the ground was uneven. It seemed like an intense battle had taken place here.
"This isn't right!"
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan remarked, "The traces here seem to be the result of a battle, but the zhenqi here are all from the same source. In other words … it's the strength of a single person! There aren't any traces left behind by the other party! "
Through the Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan was able to discern the details of the battle. Even though the battle seemed chaotic, it was actually caused by the release of a single person's zhenqi.
"Could it be …" Lozosy's eyebrows shot up. "An illusion?"
If a person desperately released their power without an opponent, there was only one possibility, and that was that they had fallen into an illusion and were unable to extricate themselves.
Back then, it was the same in the Qiu Wu Palace as well. As soon as they stepped into the formation, they found themselves falling into a trance. If not for Zhang Xuan destroying the formation, all of them would have fallen into a trance, unable to leave even after death.
"Exactly!" Wu Chen nodded. He bowed and clasped his fists. "Illusory and confusing, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality. It's very dangerous … How about this? Young Mistress, Zhang Shi, you two wait here. I'll find a way to find the base of the formation and destroy it first. Then, we'll continue moving forward!"
"Be careful. The fact that this formation is able to trap the other party and prevent them from seeing through it is proof of its might!" Lozosy warned.
"Yes!"
Nodding, Wu Chen gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step with a solemn expression. He had only taken two steps when Zhang Xuan, who had been talking to him just now, suddenly appeared in front of him and stomped on the ground.
Whoosh!
The surroundings suddenly jolted, as if something had vanished.
Clapping his hands, Zhang Xuan turned around and said, "Alright, the Illusory Formation has been dispelled …"
"…" Wu Chen hurriedly took a few steps forward and extended his Spiritual Perception outward. Only then did he confirm that the formation had indeed been destroyed and that there was no longer any danger!
"You …"
He hurriedly turned around to look at the young man before him, and he felt as if he was going to go insane.
The other party's comprehension of spatial laws was higher than his! The other party's eye of discernment was better than his, but he was still able to tolerate it! Even the formation was so formidable! Before he could even find where the formation was, the other party had already dealt with it. This … he really couldn't take it anymore!
Is there anything that you don't know?
Do you have to be so conned?
Why did he give off the feeling that he was a nobody from the countryside, while the other party was a super expert who had seen a lot of things?
"Young Mistress …"
Wu Chen hurriedly turned to look at the young mistress, wanting to see her reaction. However, the young mistress seemed to have already known that the young man before her was capable of such feats. There was a faint smile on her face, as if she wasn't surprised at all.
Seeing that the young mistress wasn't saying anything, Wu Chen decided not to say anything. Instead, he continued following behind the other party.
This time, it didn't take long for a river to appear before them.
The river was slightly yellow, and it wasn't clear at all. Looking at it from afar, it looked exceptionally peaceful.
Taking a closer look, Wu Chen flicked his wrist and took out a Saint high-tier artifact before tossing it into the river.
Tzzzzzzz!
A powerful shockwave gushed into the river, and the Saint high-tier artifact swiftly disappeared into the river. It had been thoroughly corroded, leaving nothing behind.
Following which, Zhang Xuan took out a Saint pinnacle artifact and placed it into the river. In less than ten breaths, he had already taken out a black mark on it, as if a layer had been shaved off.
"This is the Yellow Water of the Netherworld. It's extremely corrosive. Even Saint high-tier artifacts would be corroded cleanly if they were to fall into it. Even Saint pinnacle artifacts wouldn't be able to withstand it for long. On top of that, it's extremely harmful to one's cultivation and zhenqi. If one were to fall into it, even one's Primordial Spirit would be destroyed, resulting in irrecoverable damage!"
Hearing those words, Wu Chen's face turned grim.
"Yellow Water of the Netherworld?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Even though he had read many books, he had never heard of such a thing before.
"Un. It's a natural substance, also known as the Yellow Springs Water. Even Great Sage experts wouldn't dare to come into contact with it. If we want to continue forward, we'll have to cross this river. However, the air above the river has been corroded, making it impossible for us to fly. Unless …"
Wu Chen paused for a moment before continuing, "Unless we can build a Netherworld's Bridge!"
"Netherworld's Bridge?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Wasn't it too troublesome to build a bridge now? How did the four of them cross the river?
"The Netherworld's Bridge is a bridge. If one wishes to cross the Netherworld's Bridge without falling, one would need something similar. The fact that the four of them were able to cross the Netherworld's Bridge means that they probably knew of the situation here beforehand and were more prepared than us. They probably used a treasure like the Netherworld Ship!"
Wu Chen explained. "Just like the Netherworld's Bridge, the Netherworld Ship is able to cross the Yellow Water of the Netherworld's Bridge without falling. However, the forging method of the Netherworld's Bridge has long been lost!"
"The Yellow Water of the Netherworld's Bridge is able to corrode even Saint pinnacle artifacts. Could it be that the Netherworld Ship you spoke of is a Great Saint-tier artifact?"
Zhang Xuan asked curiously.
During the three days that he had spent in the Luo Clan, he had learned quite a bit from Heung Kensei and Yang shi.
Saint artifacts could be categorized into low-tier, intermediate-tier, high-tier, and pinnacle artifacts. Above that were Great Saint-tier artifacts!
There was no such thing as low-tier artifacts, only a single tier. However, due to the different forging methods, there was a huge difference in the quality of the artifacts.
However, Zhang Xuan hadn't seen any artifacts of the Netherworld's Bridge yet, so he couldn't really comment on them.
Since the other party said that the Netherworld Ship was able to cross the Yellow Water of the Netherworld, could it be … a Great Saint-tier artifact?
Otherwise, how could it withstand the corrosion of the Yellow Water of the Netherworld?
"You might not believe me, but it's not a Great Saint-tier artifact but …"
Wu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Paper! The Netherworld Ship is a paper ship! "
