"Is there really a connection between this place and the other side?"
After instructing someone to inform Starlord, Gu Zheng and Xie Wei walked to the other side of the Sword Tomb. After walking a long distance, they stopped outside a very ordinary-looking cave.
"I can guarantee that the aura there is exactly the same as the one inside. I've already checked it, and there is absolutely no mistake. However, due to special circumstances, I can't do anything about it. I can only let you take a look. I feel that you can definitely do it," Xie Wei said confidently.
"Then, let's go in and take a look," Gu Zheng said as he looked at the pitch-black cave. He couldn't see anything at all.
The two of them walked along the rugged cave and headed downwards. After half a day, they estimated that they were already several thousand meters underground before they stopped.
"It's this stone tablet. It's really strange. Why is it left alone in this place? There are even some words on it that I can't understand." After arriving at the bottommost passage, Xie Wei walked forward and pointed at the stone tablet that was several meters tall.
Gu Zheng looked at the familiar looking stone tablet and was incomparably shocked. This thing was exactly the same as the one that had entered the Sword Mausoleum. Could it be that the same group of people had created it and left behind the same thing?
However, this stone tablet was complete. It also had a green surface. Only the edges of the stone tablet had the same indecipherable words. A large part of the stone tablet seemed to be missing.
"Gu Zheng, you recognize this thing?"
Xie Wei asked as he saw Gu Zheng looking outside, seemingly trying to figure out something.
Xie Wei said in surprise. He had only thought of pulling Lin Fan over to take a look. He didn't think that he had actually seen it before.
"Yes, I used it once by chance. It can indeed break through the barrier of space and enter. However, it seems a little different," Gu Zheng said as he stepped forward.
"What's the difference? Is the handwriting different?" Xie Wei continued to ask.
Aside from the stone tablet, there were only these strange words on it.
"Once, there was a huge crack here. There were even more words beside it. Although they were somewhat different from these, they were somewhat similar. However, that piece was in an activated state. This one doesn't seem to have been activated," Gu Zheng said as he stepped forward and gestured.
As he spoke, Gu Zheng's body suddenly stiffened. He then carefully looked above, causing Xie Wei to be surprised. However, he didn't interrupt him. Instead, he waited for Gu Zheng.
"Kitten, if I complete the words on it, can you activate it and teleport us in?"
After a long time, Gu Zheng let out a breath and said to the kitten on his shoulder.
"We can give it a try. There is indeed a trace of connection between this and my home." The kitten, whose eyes had been closed since she came in, opened her eyes and said.
"Your home!" Xie Wei was still sizing up the kitten. He didn't know where it came from. Even he couldn't see through it. When he suddenly heard the other party speak, he was also surprised.
"Yes, I remember that I was brought out from here before. My sister is still inside. I want to save her," the kitten explained after hearing Xie Wei's exclamation.
Gu Zheng glanced at the kitten without batting an eyelid. It seemed to have broken away from its previous simple state. In the past, it was silly and cute. It only wanted to go back and find its sister. Basically, it didn't respond to anyone except Xiao Ying. It was like a three-year-old child.
But now, it seemed to have grown to the age of fourteen or fifteen. It had its own independent thoughts and could even respond to others. It seemed to have broken away from its previous state and become an independent individual.
Gu Zheng's initial impression of it was that of a puppet. Now, he could feel that it had blood and was weak, just like an ordinary creature.
Gu Zheng thought of the symbols that he had memorized before. He stretched out his finger and sketched in the blank space on the tablet.
Even if he was just drawing on it and didn't use any magic, as he accurately sketched the symbols with his hand, green words appeared on the stone tablet. They were deeply imprinted on it, as if they were originally there.
And with the appearance of those symbols, the entire stone tablet gradually emitted a strong green light, illuminating the tunnel.
"Could it be that the other party couldn't find this place? Could there be an ambush?"
Xie Wei looked at it and felt happy. But when he thought that this thing wasn't far from the other side and he could find it, let alone other people, he suddenly asked. He didn't think of this problem before.
"No, this thing just appeared. Because this itself is a signal for help from inside. The origin of the enemy is written on it."
Xiao Ying looked at the increasing number of words on the tablet and tried to distinguish them.
"It seems that it has been here for no more than ten years."
Xie Wei originally wanted to ask how it knew, but when he thought that this was its home, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
At this time, Gu Zheng finished writing the last stroke. Then, he took a step back and looked in front of him with a frown.
Because Gu Zheng didn't write all of it on the tablet. Even though part of it appeared, it disappeared inexplicably.
More importantly, the characters that Gu Zheng remembered very clearly before had already been forgotten from his mind. He could only vaguely remember the rough outline. He didn't know why this happened.
"It's the interference from inside. The other party is an evil soul from the Black Prison." The kitten suddenly said.
"Black Prison?" Gu Zheng asked puzzledly. It was another place he hadn't heard of before.
"Yes, the stone tablet has already roughly explained the other party's origin. Although it's not much, I know a little. But I'm afraid you don't want to hear it now. This stone tablet has been activated. If we don't teleport in now, I'm afraid it'll be too late."
The kitten jumped forward and stopped in mid-air.
"Then let's go in quickly." Gu Zheng immediately said. He would go back and understand the Black Prison well.
As soon as Gu Zheng's voice fell, the kitten's head shook. A clear bell sound came from below its head. At the same time, layers of golden light appeared in the air. Like water waves, it quickly surged toward the stone tablet in front of them. In the blink of an eye, the stone tablet was surrounded.
A soft meow continued to sound. The golden light swept across the surface of the stone tablet. Then, it quickly gathered in front of the stone tablet. A millstone-sized golden dazzling dance appeared in the air.
"Come in quickly. There's an unknown force preventing us from entering." The kitten revealed an anxious expression and immediately said.
Gu Zheng saw the words on the stone tablet fading quickly. He immediately jumped and rushed inside. The kitten also landed on Gu Zheng's body when he was flying halfway. They entered together.
"Should I go and inform Xing Clan Leader?" Xie Wei looked at the passage in front of him and hesitated.
"Forget it. Let's go in first." Xie Wei still went in with Gu Zheng. He couldn't miss this opportunity.
His whole body flew up quickly and rushed toward the golden vortex in front of him.
"Crash!"
Just when he was about to hit the golden vortex, the vortex suddenly disappeared from the air. He was caught off guard and didn't have time to react. He was stunned and his whole body crashed into the stone tablet.
How could the stone tablet block his collision? More than half of it was directly torn apart and completely destroyed.
"This is terrible."
He didn't expect this to happen. He stopped in mid-air and looked at the gravel under his feet. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He was delayed for less than a blink of an eye. He didn't follow in and even destroyed this thing.
After wandering around for a while, Xie Wei left this place dejectedly. No matter what, he had to tell Xing Ba about this matter. At least Gu Zheng had already entered. If the other party destroyed the foundation of the array, then they could still force their way in.
"Who is it!"
Gu Zheng's vision blurred. He found that he had entered a familiar passage. Before he could stand firm, a loud shout came from the side. At the same time, a few whistling sounds echoed in the air.
Gu Zheng immediately rushed forward. At the same time, he took out his weapon and quickly turned around to block in front of him.
"Ding! Ding!"
A few sounds echoed in the air. Gu Zheng felt a tremor in his hand. A few black lights hit the sword and were blocked. At the same time, three black figures rushed towards him.
Looking carefully, three male ghosts were floating in the air and chasing after him.
They were similar to the ghosts he encountered in the Black Dragon Immortal Mansion. However, they weren't holding bows and arrows in their hands. Each of them was holding a short sword that was emitting black qi. At the same time, a pungent smell came from them.
Seeing Gu Zheng turn around, the three of them simultaneously slashed downwards. The black qi on the short sword immediately gathered together and formed three black fog that attacked Gu Zheng.
When he saw the other party's cultivation level, Gu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. One was at the peak of the gold immortal realm and two were at the late stage of the gold immortal realm. From the looks of it, they looked like enemies on patrol.
With a flick of his wrist, three golden lights appeared in front of him and rushed towards the three black fog. In a flash, he appeared behind them and reached out to grab the strongest one in the middle.
Gu Zheng's sudden disappearance was out of their expectations. However, when Gu Zheng was about to touch the middle one, they discovered Gu Zheng's existence.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three explosive sounds rang out in front of Gu Zheng and the three ghosts before him instantly turned into a clump of black fog. Before Gu Zheng could figure out what had happened, the fog wriggled and three black beams of light flew towards Gu Zheng from the sky.
Gu Zheng slashed upwards and a golden barrier appeared in front of him. When the three lights collided with the barrier, they didn't even cause a ripple.
The three ghosts looked at Gu Zheng with an unsightly expression. The black fog behind them once again attached itself to the short sword and pointed at Gu Zheng.
However, to Gu Zheng's surprise, the golden light he casually released didn't destroy the three black fog. Instead, it was destroyed by the other party. These ghosts were really different. It seemed like they had some skills.
After the three ghosts looked at each other, they shouted in unison and threw the weapons in their hands at Gu Zheng. The three black fog exploded in the air and rushed towards Gu Zheng. The three of them quickly ran towards the passage behind.
"Trying to run?"
Gu Zheng saw through their thoughts with a glance. It was impossible for him to let them go. In this way, the matter of him coming in would be discovered. If the other party was ruthless enough to mobilize a few Grand Heavenly Realm experts, he wouldn't dare to be careless in this place where there was too little room for maneuver.
Facing the black fog, Gu Zheng didn't intend to destroy it at all. He turned into a golden light and appeared in front of the other party again as if he teleported, blocking their path.
When the three Specters saw that their path was blocked once again, the body of the strongest Specter in the middle suddenly expanded as he charged at Gu Zheng, while the other two Specters' bodies turned into wisps of black mist as they quickly flew away.
Gu Zheng flicked his hand and two golden lights flew out from his hand, chasing after the two ghosts. In the next moment, a huge muffled sound resounded in the air and a cloud of black fog tightly surrounded him.
After nearly ten breaths of time, the cloud of black fog gradually dispersed, revealing Gu Zheng.
Although Gu Zheng's expression was a little ugly, he wasn't injured.
The other party's strange self-explosion was different from the outside world, which made Gu Zheng feel a little uncomfortable. This kind of magic that was completely different from the outside world seemed to be more powerful than usual.
Under the same circumstances, these ghosts would definitely be able to suppress the humans outside with the same cultivation.
Looking into the distance, the two ghosts did not run away either. Instead, they were shattered by the golden light midway through the air.
They, who were bent on escaping, couldn't even resist one round of Gu Zheng's killing intent and were directly killed halfway.
"This place is still a little different."
Gu Zheng looked at the calm surroundings and then stretched out his finger. Bursts of golden light came out of it and he pointed at the wall on the side. After a slight pause, his finger sank in and a hole appeared in the wall.
However, Gu Zheng knew that the strength of this place was far from what it looked like. It could be said that it was abnormally solid. There was even an invisible force suppressing the air, making the aftermath of the battle seem far less shocking than the outside world.
Gu Zheng thought that he would alarm a lot of people, but the commotion was very small, which was beyond his imagination. But it was also good, this way he could go all out.
But the problem was, where was this place? Why did it seem to be a little different from what he said?
In the place he told him, there were only a few paths, and each path had red fluorite. However, when he looked around, he was clearly in a small hall, and there were a few paths around him that led to unknown places.
The pitch-black environment didn't affect Gu Zheng, but the surrounding style reminded him of the Sword Mausoleum. It was exactly the same, but there weren't such solid walls and a somewhat strange atmosphere.
"Could it be that I've come to a place that the other party hasn't completely controlled?" Gu Zheng suddenly remembered what Zi Yi told him.
According to what Zi Yi said, this place was an area that those people hadn't controlled. It was filled with all kinds of spirits that could never be killed. It wasn't that they couldn't be killed, because under the power of the array, these spirits could be resurrected, and each one of them was very powerful.
And they seemed to want to seize something inside, but he didn't know what it was.
Gu Zheng only knew this, and he didn't know much about the rest. After all, Zi Yi couldn't go out freely, and it was Pan Xuan who collected the information. One had to know that when they were inside, there was almost no contact with the outside world, and even Zi Yi didn't notice Gu Zheng's existence.
"Kitty, kitty, where is your sister?"
Gu Zheng's mind was full of thoughts, but he shouted to the kitty on his shoulder, but he didn't hear a reply. He turned his head and saw that the kitty had fainted on his shoulder.
He carefully covered the kitty with a layer of protection, firmly protecting her. The kitty hadn't fully recovered yet, and it must have been hard for her to forcibly break through the space to come here.
In that case, he would just stay here and take a look.
Gu Zheng thought for a moment, then walked down. The three spirits were obviously going down to see what was down there. Moreover, this place gave Gu Zheng a premonition. It was so similar here that it might have been built by the same person.
The passage below wasn't long, and after walking a few steps, there was a slight movement inside. When he got closer, it was as if there were several people running recklessly inside.
Gu Zheng groped his way forward. Soon, a bright hall appeared in front of him. Through the small entrance, he could see a shadow hurriedly scurrying about. It looked like a pure white horse that was madly charging around. Even from here, he could feel the walls trembling slightly. From this, it could be seen how powerful the other party was.
Curious, he continued to move forward. When he was a few steps away from the exit, the white horse suddenly bumped into the opposite wall. Immediately, a shallow hole appeared on the opposite wall, and some gravel rustled and fell down.
Before Gu Zheng could carefully observe the other party, the white horse suddenly turned around, and its head faced the passage, allowing him to see the other party.
From the front, the other party was mighty and fierce, and its aura was arrogant. What a handsome white horse, Gu Zheng thought the moment he saw it.
However, the other party's eyes were constantly lingering with black light, and it seemed that its mind had been confused.
At this moment, the other party let out a snort and abruptly leaped forward without any warning. He lowered his head and charged towards Gu Zheng. That ferocious force made him look like a ferocious beast charging over, giving Gu Zheng a fright.
"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out.
Before Gu Zheng could react, the other party's figure stopped.
At the entrance of the cave, a ripple suddenly lit up, and a transparent barrier seemed to have been there all along, directly blocking the other party's surprise attack, so the white horse didn't have a chance to rush out.
And the white horse didn't feel any discomfort at all, it just turned around irritably and continued to crash into other places, and there was another burst of noise.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng retreated back, and the white horse was confused by this at a glance, but it still went to other places.
Gu Zheng spent some time looking around, and finally stood helplessly in front of a closed door.
In this place, except for the front, the rest was a dead end. Except for some beautiful scrolls, there was nothing else. However, Gu Zheng did find some crystal stone residue, maybe it was emptied by the ghosts.
And this door, except for a circular hole in the middle, through which the outside scene could be seen, stood here like a wall.
Gu Zheng tested it a little and knew that if he wanted to break it, his strength seemed to be a bit impossible. The other party's strength was beyond his imagination.
In desperation, he decided to look behind, maybe at the place where the white horse was imprisoned, to see if there were any clues. He really didn't want to let the kitten over-exhaust herself.
Just as he arrived in front of the passage, before he walked in, a sharp voice sounded in the passage.
"I knew you would come back, successor, you came at the right time."
