The southern wall of the secret room recorded the origins of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye asked in unison, "How did it come about?"
Listening to Gu was much faster than looking at the murals and words. Those murals and words had to be combined to understand them, so understanding them was a bit taxing.
If they didn't know the Poison Sect's past, they really wouldn't understand.
Gu's expression was rarely this serious as he said, "The Poison Sect really did come up with a secret recipe for raising Poison Gu humans."
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had only seen the murals say that the Poison Sect was developing something. They didn't expect them to actually succeed.
Han Yunxi turned to look at the murals on the southern wall as she asked Gu, "What does this have to do with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?"
"The Poison Sect's people collected forty-nine dead poisonous plants and refined them into toxins. Together with the ten living poisonous plants in the Colored Glass Wall, they developed a medicine called the Poison Pill. After taking this pill, a person will gradually turn into a Poison Gu human within a year. They won't die, won't die, and will only age."
Gu glanced at Long Fei Ye as he spoke. "The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is made from the remains of forty-nine poisonous herbs. They mashed them up and mixed them with Ten Thousand Year Corpse Water. It took them three years to create this pill. The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion can cure … "
Before Gu could finish, Long Fei Ye murmured to himself, "It can cure the poison of the Poison Pills."
Gu Beiyue and the others all looked over at these words. Everyone was stunned.
They hadn't expected that the antidote they'd spent so much effort on guarding against and searching for was actually Perplexing Butterfly Illusion!
Who would've thought that Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and Poison Gu humans had such a complicated relationship?
"Where did those forty-nine poisonous herbs come from in the Sky Pit? Are there any more of them in the pit?" Gu Beiyue asked hastily.
If there are still poisonous herbs in the Sky Pit, doesn't that mean they can concoct more Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and poison pills? "
Han Yunxi immediately told them about the contents of the murals, the origins of the Blood Wolf Clan, and how the Poison Sect and Blood Wolf Clan merged into one.
Everyone was even more incredulous after hearing this.
"Then we don't have to fear Bai Yanqing anymore!" Xu Donglin said excitedly.
Long Fei Ye continued, "The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion can cure Gu humans, but it has to be paired with the Poison of the Five Elements and the Four Poison Blood."
"That's why we still can't do anything to Bai Yanqing!" Han Yunxi smiled bitterly.
Perplexing Poison poison Gu's Poison, Poison's, and Earth, ''s's's's. Among the Five Elemental Poisons, the Metal of Ten Thousand Poisons and the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons were still missing. Of the Poison beast beast beast beast beast beast beast, Poison's's.. Lil Thing hasn't recovered from the poison beast's blood yet, and it's still trapped by Bai Yanqing! "
At this, everyone looked towards Gu Qishao. Long Feiye asked coldly, "Gu Qishao, how did you know how to break through Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?"
The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was a mystery. There was a legend that whoever obtained the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion would own the world.
How did this legend come about? And how did Gu know that the Blood of the Five Elements and the Four Poison Blood were needed to break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?
"I dug it out from the ruins of Water Cloud Palace." Gu recalled. "I was fifteen years old at the time. I dug up many treasures in Water Cloud Palace and sold them for silver at the black market. I happened to stumble upon a sheepskin scroll that said that only the Poison of the Five Elements and the Four Poison Blood could break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion."
"Could it have been left behind by the Poison Sect's ancestors?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
Although they didn't know where this place was, the secrets wouldn't have stayed here forever. The Poison Sect's history, the secrets of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and the Poison Gu humans must have been in the hands of the Poison Sect's direct descendants and passed down through the generations.
Perhaps Bai Yanqing, a direct descendant of the Poison Sect, knew everything as well, which was why he was so anxious to find the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
The murals didn't contain any detailed information about the poison fruit's recipe. Could it be that Bai Yanqing had taken control of the recipe and plucked the fruit from the glass wall to make the poison pills?
Long Fei Ye's mother had expended a great deal of effort and even sacrificed Long Fei Ye's father to obtain the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
If Bai Yanqing was a direct descendant of the Poison Sect and had the recipe for the poison fruit, why hadn't he taken control of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion back then?
Bai Yanqing had too many mysteries about him!
Han Yunxi's doubts were the same as everyone else's.
However, they didn't have time to think too much about it. Han Yunxi continued to read the records and saw that the murals on the southern wall no longer contained any information. They were all about preparations for the sacrificial ceremony.
"Your Highness, Princess, come over here and take a look. The wordless stele and the poison storage space are mentioned here, "Gu Beiyue said.
Although Han Yunxi had already understood the rules and cultivation of the poison storage space from the dreamscape of the wordless stele, the records on the wall were definitely different from the ones on the stele. Otherwise, the wordless stele's records would be unnecessary.
Han Yunxi and the others hurried over to the northern wall. The murals took up most of the space, but there were very few words. Only someone as smart as Gu Beiyue would be able to figure it out so quickly.
The murals on the northern wall recorded the origins of the poison storage space.
The poison storage space wasn't owned by the Poison Sect, but a skill unique to the Snow Wolf Clan's priests. After the Snow Wolf Clan and the Poison Sect merged through marriage, the priests became the direct descendants of the Poison Sect and inherited the poison storage space.
Only those with talent could activate the poison storage space and use it for themselves.
"In that case, Poison lass and Bai Yanqing aren't just direct descendants of the Poison Sect, they're also descendants of the Snow Wolf Clan!" Gu said.
"Nonsense," Long Fei Ye didn't seem too happy to classify Han Yunxi and Bai Yanqing as the same kind.
Gu suddenly exclaimed, "That's not right! If the descendants of the Snow Wolf Clan's priests didn't marry someone from Medical City's Poison Sect, they could also have a poison storage space! "
These words reminded Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi of something. That was indeed possible. Han Yunxi and Bai Yanqing, one was a direct descendant of the Poison Sect while the other was a pure descendant of the Snow Wolf Clan priest. In that case, they might not be related by blood.
Long Feiye gave Gu Qishao a rare nod of approval. "I hope so."
Although it was just a guess, it was better than having no hope at all!
Gu Beiyue pulled everyone back to reality. Now wasn't the time to speculate, there were more important matters at hand.
"Princess, Your Highness, look over here."
Gu Beiyue's hand lightly touched a mural on the northern wall. It depicted none other than an altar and a wordless stele.
There was a large paragraph of strange text around it that Han Yunxi couldn't understand.
"What are these words?" Xu Donglin had never seen them before. Baili Mingxiang also looked over and shook his head.
"These are ancient Sanskrit." Gu looked sloppy, but he was actually quite knowledgeable.
Long Fei Ye didn't say a word as he continued to read line by line.
These words recorded the secret of the wordless stele.
Back then, there was a high priest of the Snow Wolf Clan who broke through to the third level of the poison storage space. However, he continued to cultivate until his cultivation suddenly went berserk. His blood spilled over the wordless stele, and he died beside it. However, something inconceivable happened. His poison storage space didn't disappear with his death, but attached itself to the wordless stele.
Any high priest's blood could open a door to the wordless stele and enter the space.
After the third level, the poison storage space turned into a sealed stone room that had nothing to do with poison.
"Here?" Han Yunxi asked incredulously.
Everyone wanted to know the answer as well. Could this stone room they were in be the High Priest's poison storage space?
"It should be here?" Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
"It is here." Gu Beiyue was also certain.
Later on, the Snow Wolf Clan merged with the Poison Sect. They were afraid that the power that destroyed the Snow Wolves would notice them again, so they hid the Snow Wolf Clan's past, including their name.
The Snow Wolf Clan carved their origins and subsequent history into this space, hoping that their history wouldn't be forgotten by future generations.
Anyone who could open the door to the wordless stele and enter this space had to be a descendant of a high priest. Blood was the key to opening the door. However, not every Awakener could enter the stone room.
Many of the high priest's descendants had entered this space, but because they were trapped in an illusion created by their obsessions, they were thrown out of the space after seven days and seven nights, never to see the stone room again. As for those who successfully entered the stone room, they only needed to leave a bloodstain in the stone room to reopen the door to the wordless stele.
"Obsessions …" Han Yunxi muttered to herself.
Thinking back to the illusion they'd created earlier, could it have all been caused by obsessions?
At first, it was her, Long Fei Ye, and Gu's obsessions that had created the illusion. She and Long Fei Ye had broken through their obsessions, but Gu hadn't. If they hadn't woken Gu up, wouldn't Gu have been trapped for seven days and seven nights before leaving?
And whose obsessions were the Labyrinth of Mirrors and the Deep Sea Serpent?
Han Yunxi didn't have time to think about it. At the very least, they'd managed to break through their obsessions and reach this place.
It wasn't just this question. They'd learned too much here, but there were also many, many questions that they didn't have time to consider or investigate.
Right now, the most important thing was to clarify everything that was recorded here.
Everyone walked towards the eastern wall, but Baili Mingxiang had already looked over the entire wall. The eastern wall's painting was the simplest and had no words.
It was a painting of a person cultivating beside the wordless monument. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"That's it? What does it mean? "Gu asked curiously.
"Who is this cultivating person?" Gu Beiyue got to the crux of the matter.
The Poison Sect's poison techniques weren't cultivated, but practiced. Thus, this person must be cultivating the poison storage space.
Was this painting meant to emphasize the location of cultivation, the person cultivating, or the matter of cultivation itself?
Since the stone wall had records of the Poison Gu humans, it meant that after the Snow Wolf Clan and Medical City's Poison Sect had secretly merged, someone else had entered this space and recorded the Poison Sect's events.
Had the recording stopped after the Poison Sect was destroyed? Was that why the painting on the wall hadn't been completed?
Han Yunxi's group searched around in all directions, but didn't find any hidden passageways or hidden messages.
This was all they could learn in this stone room. Although they knew a lot, the more they learned, the more questions they had.
Long Fei Ye said indifferently, "Let's go out first and discuss more. It's getting dark outside."
At these words, Han Yunxi understood. It really was time for them to leave …
