Even though Lin Jin was following Xiao Shu Lou, he couldn't really be of much help. He watched as Xiao Shu Lou searched for the Sky Gate cloud bridge each time they entered a deeper level. However, Lin Jin could tell that the art realms after the fortieth level were much stranger than the previous ones.
There were large boulders here. Everywhere Lin Jin looked, he could only see strange rocks that covered the entire world.
Otherwise, it would be a vast ocean with no place to stand.
Lin Jin felt as if he had gone on a tour of various geographical locations in just half a day. His favorite was the forty-sixth level. Everywhere he looked, he could see green mountains and clear waters. Mountains and rivers were connected. It was impossible to find such a picturesque world in the outside world.
"The differences between each level are too great. It doesn't feel like they were created by the same person," Lin Jin voiced his opinion.
Xiao Shu Lou nodded. "That's right. Each level has a signature. So far, I've seen at least three signatures. This means that this place contains at least three people's works."
Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat at this.
Someone who could create an art realm was definitely no ordinary person. They were at least at the true immortal realm and some were even immortals at leisure.
In that case, the creation of the Unending Nature Landscape must have many secrets that no one knew about.
Perhaps even the remnant soul, Immortal Du Li, who Lin Jin met last time didn't know about the Unending Nature Landscape's secrets. This piqued Lin Jin's curiosity.
Perhaps he could learn something interesting from the Unending Nature Landscape.
Lin Jin asked Xiao Shu Lou what the three names were. Xiao Shu Lou told him that the three names were Huang Longgong, Li Jian, and Xuan Xuanzi.
Upon hearing these three names, Lin Jin was stunned.
He had never heard of Huang Longgong and Xuan Xuanzi before but Lin Jin seemed to have heard of Li Jian's name somewhere before. It was just that he couldn't remember where.
"Found it!" Xiao Shu Lou found the Sky Gate cloud bridge of this art realm and immediately brought Lin Jin to the next level.
This was the forty-eighth level of the art realm.
However, as soon as they entered this new world, both Lin Jin and Xiao Shu were flabbergasted by what they saw.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and there was no light at all. Black mountains surrounded the area, and there was a deathly aura everywhere. One could see a Yellow Springs Road extending into the distance, and countless corpses walked on it like walking corpses.
Cries, howls, and strange noises filled their ears. Even though they knew that this was the painting world and not the real world, Lin Jin and Xiao Shu Lou still felt their scalps tingle.
"This is the Yellow Springs Diagram!"
Lin Jin suddenly said.
Xiao Shu nodded. Speaking of the Underworld Painting, Xiao Shu should be more familiar with it than Lin Jin. After all, Lin Jin had learned about it from Xiao Shu's library.
Among the books on the fourth floor of the Heavenly Jade Academy, many of them were slowly collected by the Small Book Pavilion over the past hundreds of years. Some of them were already unique books, and many of them came from various ancient tombs. After all, sometimes it was only from the tombs that one could dig out the real good things.
As an art spirit, Xiao Shu was naturally interested in the various paintings that had been passed down for thousands of years. One of the books recorded a painting from the golden age of immortality.
Yellow Springs.
It was said that when the great immortal traveled the underworld, he used the neutral energy of yin and yang as a canvas to draw this painting.
The Yellow Springs Diagram was a demonic item to begin with. It didn't help with cultivation, but it could suppress all other demonic entities. More importantly, legend had it that this Yellow Springs Diagram was connected to the real underworld.
Lin Jin and Xiao Shu exchanged a glance. To be honest, no matter how precious this Yellow Springs Diagram was, it wasn't worth much to Lin Jin. Of course, Xiao Shu Lou would treat it like a treasure.
"Let's continue downwards. I don't feel comfortable staying here," Lin Jin said honestly. Lin Jin was being honest. It would be strange if a living person like him could feel comfortable in a place where only the dead would go. The aura of death here was all-pervasive. If a living person stayed here for too long, they would be corroded by it no matter what cultivation level they were.
Shu Xiao Lou was slightly better. Of course, she wanted to explore the Yellow Springs Diagram, but now was clearly not the time.
Just like before, she began searching for the entrance to the next floor. Lin Jin followed closely behind. Looking at the seemingly real corpses around him, he felt a little scared.
He couldn't help it. Lin Jin was brave but this place was too creepy. With people walking around in all sorts of ways, it didn't matter how brave he was.
This time, Shu Xiao Lou was clearly quite nervous. She was currently walking on a path filled with corpses, and she found a sinister and terrifying hall.
This hall was built from corpses and bones. No matter how one looked at it, it was uncomfortable.
"The entrance to the next floor is here." Having found the place, Shu Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she turned to look at Lin Jin.
However, this glance caused her brows to twitch and her body to stiffen.
Xiao Shu had never shown such an expression before. Truth be told, Lin Jin was startled as well. Since he was familiar with Xiao Shu, he immediately knew that Xiao Shu must have seen something unbelievable. That was why he reacted this way.
However, Shu Xiao Lou wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world before. She was just as knowledgeable as Lin Jin so Lin Jin didn't believe there was anything that could make Shu Xiao Lou look like this.
In that case, it couldn't be that the person was trying to scare him or something else. It must be what Shu Xiao Lou saw. For example, there was something lying behind him.
Perhaps only under such circumstances would Shu Xiao Lou show such an expression.
Lin Jin immediately turned to look behind him but there was nothing behind him. Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time, he found it odd. Was Shu Xiao Lou teasing him on purpose?
Just then, Shu Xiaolou whispered, "Lin Jin, look at your own shadow."
It seemed like Shu Xiao Lou was afraid of startling something.
Shadow?
Lin Jin didn't notice what was wrong with his shadow. He quickly looked down and his scalp went numb.
The shadow under his feet didn't look like him at all because he didn't have such a long robe nor did he have long hair like a woman.
At this sight, Lin Jin felt his scalp go numb. Fortunately, he was experienced enough to force himself to calm down. He took a closer look to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
"It might be an illusion triggered by some kind of spell!" Lin Jin mumbled to himself. He immediately summoned Xiao Huo and activated the Ghost Blood Beast to strengthen himself.
However, Lin Jin didn't think his guess was possible. If someone were to approach or cast a spell, even if Lin Jin couldn't sense it, it wouldn't be possible to hide it from the Ghost Blood Beast and Breezy Sword.
