After a flash of light, Gu Qingfeng was already inside the forbidden area.
It was extremely dark inside, filled with black fog, and the turbid air was especially dense.
Gu Qingfeng released his Divine Sense to roughly investigate, and found that the so-called forbidden area was not a cave, but an ancient ruin, with layers upon layers like a pagoda.
Whether it was a cave or a ruin, there was a source, the source.
Just like the eye of a formation, the heart of a human, and the immortal spirit of an Immortal. If a cave or ruin did not have a source, it would have long decayed and dissipated, and could not be passed down to the world.
Gu Qingfeng explored as he wandered, and found that the inside was lifeless, without any signs of life.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Under the cover of such dense turbid air, it was almost impossible for an Immortal to survive.
Although Immortals could live forever, and when they cultivated to a certain level, they could even live forever, but that was only immortality. Immortality did not mean that they would not die, and immortality did not mean that they would not perish.
To Immortals, Spiritual Qi was like Life Qi.
Without Spiritual Qi, the immortal spirit in the body would not be able to be nourished. It might not be a problem for a while, but as time passed, ten years, or even a hundred years later, if the immortal spirit in the body was not nourished for a long time, not only would the Immortal Qi weaken, but the Immortal Qi would also gradually wither.
Just like flowers and trees, if they were not nourished for a long time, they would wither over time.
The same was true for immortal spirits.
This was under the condition that there was no Spiritual Qi, but the environment here was not only devoid of Spiritual Qi, but also filled with turbid air.
This was a kind of poisonous gas to Immortals, and it would destroy their immortal spirit and worsen the exhaustion.
If they used the immortal spirit in the body to resist, they might be able to resist for a while, but once their immortal spirit was exhausted, they would die a horrible death.
If they died in this place, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that they would become a ghost without self-awareness.
Even if they did not die, they would become a human demon without self-awareness, or even the legendary zombies.
Gu Qingfeng raised his head and looked again. He now understood why Gu Tong and Bai Yanyan had said that many people had never left after entering this place.
This ancient pagoda contained layers of mysteries. Among them were the Stellar Transposition and spatial transformations. In other words, after you came in from the outside, you might come here, but you wouldn't be able to leave if you stood here, because the entrance wasn't here at all. The moment you came in, the Stellar Transposition would cause the space of this pagoda to change.
If you could not see through the mysteries of this pagoda, you might be trapped here for the rest of your life.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the densely packed marks above. There were arrays, celestial arts, and so on. There were even some broken celestial weapons and treasures scattered on the ground. Clearly, many people had tried to force their way through here before.
Picking up a few flying swords from the ground, Gu Qingfeng shook his head and sighed, "The turbid air is so dense in the ruins. In such a situation, immortal spirit is especially precious, and we can't waste any of it. Blindly wasting immortal spirit is like wasting one's life. Once the immortal spirit is exhausted, only death will await us. Rather than that, it's better to find a safe place, set up a protective array, stay inside, and think of other countermeasures."
Although Gu Qingfeng had only cultivated for a little more than five hundred years, his life experience was unparalleled, and he had encountered countless dangers. He was very clear that no matter what danger he encountered, he must always remain calm. The most taboo was to be impulsive, because the more impulsive he was, the faster he would die. He did not need to be afraid of being trapped. Being trapped for a while did not mean that he would be trapped for a lifetime.
As the saying goes, where there is life, there is hope. As long as one was alive, everything was possible.
Perhaps everyone understood this principle, but not everyone could do it.
Gu Qingfeng wandered around this floor for a while, found the entrance to the next floor, and entered it.
The situation of the second floor was the same as the first floor. It was an empty ruin, and the black fog and turbid air were thicker.
The third and fourth floors were the same. They were all ruins, and the turbid air on each floor was thicker than the previous one.
In the Great Wilderness, when the Myriad Worlds were born, the Spirit Qi inside was pure. The reason why it gradually became turbid was mostly due to the influence of nature, causing the origin of the small worlds to become turbid. Once the origin of the world became turbid, the Spirit Qi of this world could no longer be pure, and would only become more turbid.
It was the same for the Myriad Worlds.
The cave residence in the ruins was no exception.
The turbid air here was so serious, and it must be related to the origin.
However, it was unknown whether the origin in the ruins gradually became turbid, or whether it was turbid from the beginning.
After all, there was not only the Immortal Dao in the world, but also demons, ghosts, and so on. These existences all relied on the turbid air to cultivate. If it was the cave residence of an Immortal, its origin would definitely be pure Spirit Qi, but if it was the cave residence of a demon, there was no doubt that its origin would be turbid.
Gu Qingfeng continued to explore.
When he came to the fourth floor of the ruins, although it was still a ruin, there were some broken stone rooms among the ruins.
All of a sudden.
A ghost shadow scurried out of a dilapidated stone room. The ghost shadow was both real and illusory, like a cloud of black smoke and fog. It was a ghost soul, which was incomparably ferocious. It turned into a flaming skull and pounced over with bared fangs and brandished claws.
"This little guy is quite fierce."
Gu Qingfeng did not even look at it. He raised his hand and the ghost soul turned into ashes on the spot.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Several more ghosts rushed over, but they were all easily killed by Gu Qingfeng. It was unknown how long these ghosts had lived in the ruins, and how much turbid air they had absorbed, so their strength was not weak.
There were not many ghosts on the fourth floor, but when he came to the fifth floor, he was immediately surrounded by more than a hundred ghosts.
"Get lost!"
If there were four or five ghosts, Gu Qingfeng might be interested in playing with them. However, facing more than a hundred ghosts, Gu Qingfeng was too lazy to play with them. With a fierce shout, more than a hundred ghosts were all turned into ashes on the spot.
This floor was not like the previous floors, which were in ruins. The buildings on this floor were well-preserved. Gu Qingfeng looked around and found himself standing in a spacious hall. There were many stone rooms around the hall. Some of the stone doors were open, while others were tightly closed.
One of the open and broken stone doors attracted Gu Qingfeng's attention. At first glance, this stone door did not seem to have any problems. However, Gu Qingfeng's pair of eyes were fiery golden eyes. Even if he did not use his divine sense to explore, he could see that there was something fishy about it at a glance.
This broken stone door was shrouded in an illusion formation, so it looked like a broken stone door. In fact, it was an intact and tightly closed stone door. There was a faint glimmer on the stone door. This was another formation, which blocked the turbid air outside.
