On the other side of the door, Southern Chu's King Qing Ling, Cheng Ye, was shocked to find that the door was blocked from behind. His heart sank.
Out of caution, he observed and waited at the entrance for a while before continuing to move forward.
But he didn't expect that his escape route was still blocked.
The Xian Tian Palace's inheritance was good at seeking luck and avoiding danger, but also good at concealing others' senses.
The Southern Chu Dynasty and Xian Tian Palace had been in contact for many years. Although they were on good terms most of the time, the Southern Chu Dynasty had never let down their guard against the Xian Tian Palace.
How to restrain or deceive the other's divination was a topic that the Southern Chu Dynasty had researched for generations.
After such a long time, there were more or less some results.
King Qing Ling, Cheng Ye, was especially knowledgeable in this aspect. This was also one of the reasons why the old King Cheng Jiongting and the eldest son Cheng Longyuan invited him to make this trip.
Unfortunately, in the end, they still fell into the opponent's trap.
The opponent was not only proficient in the Xian Tian Palace's inheritance, but also in the Southern Chu Glory Art. The combination of the two, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, resulted in such an effect.
Cheng Yingtian ….
This name flashed across Cheng Ye's mind.
Judging from the current situation, Cheng Yingtian had long discovered that he was following and monitoring him.
This young man's attainments in the Xian Tian Palace's inheritance were extremely high. He could even lay down the Heaven Reversing Array.
Today's matter would not end well.
With this thought, Cheng Ye didn't turn around and retreat. Instead, he ignored everything and flew forward.
He wasn't a rash person, but in the current situation, his escape route was blocked. If he attacked the Heaven Reversing Array blindly, he would only expose himself to the most dangerous environment and lose his chance of survival.
Only by moving forward would there be a chance.
Cheng Ye made a prompt decision and didn't lose his cool.
Like the Xian Tian Palace people, he also observed the position of the fire in the sky.
But he chose to go in the opposite direction.
Although he still didn't know the real goal of the Xian Tian Palace people and Cheng Yingtian, in this new world, the fire in the sky was the most special. The thing that Cheng Yingtian and the others were looking for was most likely there.
If he rushed over now, Cheng Yingtian would easily catch up.
If Zhong Yue walked in the opposite direction, in order to avoid the Xian Tian Palace from getting ahead of him, the Xian Tian Palace would inevitably fall into a dilemma. In the end, the Xian Tian Palace might not chase after him.
Therefore, Cheng Ye did not hesitate and decisively moved away from the direction of the fire.
Cheng Ye was also curious about the secrets of this world and what was hidden in the flames. But in the current situation, he had obviously fallen into Cheng Yingtian's trap. It was better to escape first, then regroup and wait for an opportunity to strike.
Surrounded by the golden flames, Cheng Ye streaked across the sky like a meteor.
But his mind was still tense.
Because he clearly felt that danger was approaching him.
In the distant horizon, another golden meteor appeared, chasing after Cheng Ye from behind. Moreover, its speed was clearly faster than Cheng Ye's, and it was getting closer and closer.
Cheng Ye's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
He was determined and unwilling to give up. All he wanted was to stall for a bit more time.
It was not that he wanted to buy more time for Xian Tian Palace, but he hoped that the longer he delayed, the more worried Cheng Yingtian would be, and eventually, he would give up on chasing after him.
However, the two golden meteors were getting closer and closer to each other.
In the end, Cheng Yingtian still caught up to Cheng Ye.
"Greetings, Seventh Imperial Uncle," he greeted with a smile.
Cheng Ye calmed himself down and said calmly, "Congratulations, Yingtian's cultivation base has improved greatly."
"Seventh Imperial Uncle, you are flattering me." Cheng Yingtian said, "It was just a small misunderstanding. I sensed someone was following me, so I was on high alert. Please forgive me for disturbing Seventh Imperial Uncle."
Cheng Ye remained calm, "I also thought it was an ambush from Xian Tian Palace, so I tried to get away first."
Cheng Yingtian smiled, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, my parents were both from Xian Tian Palace. Since young, other than the [Great Chu Glory Scroll], I have also been practicing Xian Tian Palace's ultimate arts."
"I see," Cheng Ye nodded.
Half a year ago, after Mister Tianji died, Cheng Hui summoned his trusted subordinates before he went into closed-door cultivation. Although he didn't tell them everything about Cheng Yingtian's identity, everyone had a rough idea of it.
Now that Cheng Yingtian admitted it, Cheng Ye wasn't surprised at all, but he was slightly surprised.
Moments later, he regained his composure and asked, "But you are not traveling with Xian Tian Palace's You Hao?"
"Seventh Imperial Uncle, you must be joking." Cheng Yingtian laughed, "Xian Tian Palace is the one who gave birth to me, Great Chu is the one who raised and nurtured me. I will only be loyal to Great Chu. If I must say that I have something to do with Xian Tian Palace, it is to find an opportunity to bring Xian Tian Palace under the rule of Great Chu."
He turned around and looked at the fire far away, "Today was a coincidence, but it seems like I have gained a lot."
Cheng Ye nodded noncommittally.
To a certain extent, he was similar to the old King Cheng Jiongting.
Cheng Ye didn't have any outstanding talents among his direct descendants, so it was hard for the throne to fall into his line. Therefore, he didn't have an obvious preference for who would inherit the throne. At most, he had more contact with the eldest prince, Cheng Longyuan, so he was more optimistic about Cheng Longyuan.
But if the Southern Chu Dynasty could produce more young talents, Cheng Ye would be happy to see it happen.
Back then, Monarch Chu had vaguely revealed Cheng Yingtian's background, but not Mister Tianji's background. Therefore, Cheng Jiongting, Cheng Ye, and the others couldn't understand Monarch Chu's deep rejection of Cheng Yingtian. At most, they were only worried that Cheng Yingtian would cause internal strife in Southern Chu as his cultivation base grew.
As for the possibility of him being related to the Blood River, it was no longer a concern after the fall of Blood River Patriarch and the entire Blood River lineage hid in the Blood Sea to lick their wounds.
If one had to choose between Cheng Yingtian and Cheng Longyuan as the future heir of Southern Chu, Cheng Ye, Prince Qing Ling, would prefer Cheng Yingtian.
Cheng Yingtian had a higher chance of breaking through to the level of Martial Venerable.
But all this was limited to Cheng Yingtian and Cheng Longyuan.
If the conflict between Cheng Yingtian and Monarch Chu caused internal strife in Southern Chu, it was not a result Cheng Ye wanted to see.
"I discovered Xian Tian Palace's movement by chance and felt that I was alone. Fortunately, Seventh Imperial Uncle is here." Cheng Yingtian turned around and said with a smile, "The heavens bless the Great Chu. Today, Xian Tian Palace is going to make a wedding dress for our Great Chu."
Cheng Ye said, "Since it's like this, let's not delay and set off immediately. However, we don't know what's hidden here, and I'm afraid it's not safe with just the two of us. Let's first work together to break the Heaven Defying Formation and send the news back to the imperial capital. We'll ask Granduncle and the others to send reinforcements.
"Imperial Uncle, there is something you don't know. Chen Luoyang left the main altar of the Ancient God and his whereabouts are unknown. He should be here as well. The [Reverse Heaven Defying Array] can only stop him for a while. If we go out and fight with him, we might not be able to catch up with Xian Tian Palace," said Cheng Yingtian.
Cheng Ye was silent for a moment.
He had heard of the news about the Ancient God, Chen Luoyang. He knew that what Cheng Yingtian said was mostly true.
But this did not make him lower his guard against Cheng Yingtian.
Although it was just a comparison of speed, he could tell that Cheng Yingtian's cultivation base was stronger than him.
Even the old Duke Cheng Jiongting, one of the top ten Martial Saints in the mortal world, might not be able to suppress this young man.
It was not a good idea to fight him head-on. It was better to feign civility and wait and see.
Cheng Ye thought and nodded, "Alright, since time is tight, let's go to the Xian Tian Palace first."
Two golden fiery meteors immediately broke through the sky and flew towards the place where the fiery light was flickering in the distance.
Outside the door, in the Parasol Tree Forest of the mortal world, Chen Luoyang was not in a hurry. He was looking at the maze in front of him with interest.
The movements on Ji Zhong's side indicated that everything had just begun and there was no hurry.
Hence, Chen Luoyang still had the time to study the [Reverse Heaven Defying Array] in front of him.
Back then, when the Xian Tian Palace was in chaos, he also took away some things, including a small number of ancient books.
Recently, he had gained a lot from studying them. Now that he compared them with the [Reverse Heaven Defying Array], he had a different feeling.
After estimating the time, Chen Luoyang put away his thoughts of academic research and was ready to go in first.
His body surged with dazzling sunlight.
But in the next moment, the light disappeared and completely turned into darkness.
A ferocious and ominous "black sun" rose slowly like an annular eclipse. Only the edge of the sun flickered with flames, but the inside was extremely dark and solemn.
A terrifying suction like a black hole came out from it and the gray fog that blocked Chen Luoyang's path began to be sucked into it.
The [Reverse Heaven Defying Array] was an unsolvable and ferocious array. Under the entanglement of the fog, it would confuse one's mind and crush one's flesh.
But at this moment, the gray fog was constantly being devoured by the "black sun".
Soon, the gray fog dispersed and the door on the ground could see the light of day again.
The "black sun" that enveloped Chen Luoyang also disappeared.
He looked at the sky through the door under his feet and felt the flow of Spiritual Qi.
It was not with his body but with his mind to communicate with the Demon Lord's remains in the dark cave.
It's like a mirror image of the mortal world, but it has probably existed for thousands of years. It already existed before the Demon Lord dominated the mortal world. I wonder if it was earlier than the era of the Human Sovereign? Chen Luoyang pondered as he tried to sense it, It's really rare that such an ancient place can survive until now without being stepped on by the predecessors …
He stepped into it and his body was shrouded in a shadow-like moonlight. Then, he turned invisible and flew toward the flashing fire in the distant sky.
When he got closer, he realized that the place where the fire was shining was not ordinary. It was actually the entrance to another foreign world. It was clearly layered with the inverted world outside.
However, from the entrance of this foreign world, the scene inside was very different from the outside world.
There was also a Parasol Tree Forest there, but different from the Parasol Tree Forest in the Mortal World. The Parasol Trees here were not only much taller, but they were also burning with raging flames.
Chen Luoyang observed the surroundings. After entering, he realized that the Parasol Tree Forest in the second world had a huge array formation.
It was even stronger than the Xian Tian Palace's Innate Thousand Elephants Array Formation.
After entering this place, he could faintly hear the clear cry of a phoenix.
