The sudden scene on the wall caused Yi Tian and He Weiming to be stunned. After a while, the lines on the wall became clearer and clearer, until a new mural appeared.
Looking at the mural, it was obvious that the person who was pincered had a strong cultivation and was not afraid at all. Instead, it was the other two who seemed to be suppressed.
Seeing this, Yi Tian's expression became serious, and he turned to He Weiming and said, "Fellow Daoist He, looks like there should be some kind of Divination Formation left on this wall. What we're about to face won't be easy."
He Weiming pointed at the mural and said, "Brother Yi, look carefully, it's two against one. Does that mean Luo Que was killed by Qian Lingzi?"
Just as they were talking, the mural in the middle of the wall changed a little. When the two of them looked closely, they found that the person's face had a fierce expression. Yi Tian had seen Luo Que and Qian Lingzi's lineup a long time ago, so he immediately recognized that this person was not either of them.
A strange expression appeared on his face as he said, "This person's face is definitely not Qian Lingzi or Luo Que. Could it be the person who was imprisoned?"
Just as he said that, He Weiming interrupted, "It's not him. I remember that person's appearance. It doesn't match at all."
"Could it be that other than Luo Que, Qian Lingzi, and the person who was imprisoned, there is a fourth person, and the person you and I are about to face is that fourth person?" Yi Tian asked in confusion, "So the result of Senior Tian Jizi's divination that consumed his life force for me was wrong?"
"Brother Yi, it's useless to say more now. Why don't we continue forward and see what else we can find?" He Weiming did not care so much. Since they knew that there was going to be a tough battle, they could prepare early. At the very least, they would have a higher chance of winning if they were unprepared.
When Yi Tian heard this, he nodded decisively and continued to walk forward with large strides. When the people he brought with him arrived in front of the next stone wall, they discovered that there was a faint outline on the wall. However, after waiting for half an hour, the pattern on the wall was actually covered by a layer of purple light, and it was difficult for it to appear again.
Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "Fellow Daoist He, let's go. Even if it's a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, we have to go."
After He Weiming nodded, the two of them no longer paid any attention to the prophecy on the wall and quickly walked towards the depths of the tunnel.
Not long after, he saw light coming from the passageway in front of him. He opened his eyes and took a closer look. It should be the exit. Without another word, the two of them hurriedly ran toward the exit.
Yi Tian felt as if he had returned to the Water Curtain Cave on Young Eaglet Peak after they left the passageway. He Weiming was nowhere to be seen.
He thought to himself, "What a powerful illusion array. It can actually transform the place that I am most familiar with. I reckon that He Weiming has also entered the illusion array. The only way to survive is to break the array as quickly as possible. Who knows if there will be any more problems in the illusion array. "
Just as he was thinking, Daoist Scarlet Sun's figure suddenly appeared in front of him and scolded him, "You deceiving your master and forgetting your ancestors. Have you forgotten the mission you took to the Central Province? Now that you have returned without completing it, I am truly disappointed in you."
Yi Tian was unmoved after hearing this. He only looked at Daoist Scarlet Sun from head to toe and realized that the illusion was so vivid that it was as if a real person was standing in front of him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was proficient in array formations and that his mental state had already been polished, he might have really fallen for it. Ignoring Daoist Scarlet Sun, Yi Tian released his spiritual sense and probed forward. Only then did he realize that this place was exactly the same as his own cave residence. Other than that, there were no other traces that should have been left behind in the stone hall.
In that case, the key to breaking the array was Daoist Scarlet Sun in front of him. He turned his head and looked at him carefully. All of a sudden, Daoist Scarlet Sun True Fire attacked Yi Tian with his hand.
Without understanding the situation, Yi Tian didn't dare to directly counterattack. He only executed his movement technique and hurriedly dodged. However, after three breaths of time, the scorching heat of the Scarlet Sun True Fire flew close to him. Yi Tian felt that Daoist Scarlet Sun wanted to kill him the moment he made his move.
He turned around and took out an Ice Crystal Spirit Shield to block Daoist Scarlet Sun's magic attack. With a crisp creak, Yi Tian's Ice Crystal Spirit Shield and his body were knocked back three steps by the impact.
However, Yi Tian wasn't shocked at this moment. Instead, he was delighted. He hurriedly used the Eight Heavenly Thunder Sounds and said to Daoist Scarlet Sun, "Daoist He, please stop. We have been bewitched by the illusion array. Let's not kill each other."
Daoist Scarlet Sun was also stunned when he heard this. He then put away the spirit weapon in his hand and made a defensive posture. When Yi Tian saw that it worked, he hurriedly took out the Restriction Breaking Needle. He then looked around and used his eye technique to look for the nodes of the illusion array.
Not long after, a smile appeared on his face. He chanted and directly pierced the Restriction Breaking Needle into the rock wall above his head.
A white light flashed, followed by a cracking sound. The cave house in front of him and Daoist Scarlet Sun's figure suddenly trembled violently. After three breaths of time, the distorted space gradually disappeared, revealing a hall with a radius of more than 100 feet. The place where Daoist Scarlet Sun was standing was where He Weiming was now.
The two of them looked at each other and a smile appeared on their faces at the same time. After putting away the spirit weapon in his hand, He Weiming walked forward and apologized to Yi Tian, "Brother Yi, are you safe and sound? I'm ashamed."
"It's okay. Mr. He, you and I were both affected by the illusion array. Fortunately, we got out in time. Otherwise, we would have been injured." Yi Tian hurriedly comforted.
At the same time, he saw his avatar standing in the distance at this time without being affected by the illusion array. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Just as he was thinking, he glanced at He Weiming. He Weiming understood and directly explained, "My avatar was originally refined with an innate spirit body, so it has a strong immunity to the illusion array. It's just that when my main body fell into the illusion array, my avatar would also fall into a confused state."
Then he stretched out his hands and made gestures. He pointed at the avatar, and a spiritual light flew out from his hands and went straight into the avatar's head. After three breaths of time, the avatar also returned to normal and apologized to Yi Tian.
After such a small episode, Yi Tian had to be 120% alert. Who knew what kind of obstacles they would encounter below. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling. There were runes engraved on it. They were the illusion array patterns that had troubled the two of them.
If it wasn't for Master Scarlet Sun's Scarlet Sun True Fire, Yi Tian wouldn't have been able to detect it. He Weiming smiled and said, "Brother Yi, how did you detect me?"
After taking out the ice crystal shield, Yi Tian pointed at it. There were marks left behind by the sword silks formed by the Radiant Sword Art.
Although the illusion array could create the environment and people one was familiar with, and even the moves could be exactly the same, the essence of the spell wouldn't change.
There would be a clear difference between being attacked by the Scarlet Sun True Fire and the Radiant Sword Art. It was very likely that Master Scarlet Sun was He Weiming's main body. Therefore, Yi Tian would first use the Eight Heavenly Thunder Sounds to stabilize him before breaking the formation.
After hearing this, He Weiming came to a realization and said, "What I saw in the illusion array was the appearance of the Thousand Spirit Abyss that you transformed into. The surrounding environment was actually the Kunwu Cave."
"This illusion array is to make us kill each other. However, I'm curious if the same thing would happen when Luo Que and Qian Lingzi came in one after another." Yi Tian touched his forehead and said.
"It's better to be careful. Brother Yi, let's continue forward." He Weiming said.
After hearing this, Yi Tian kept the defensive spiritual tool in his hand and walked slowly towards the passage behind the stone room. With the previous example, he didn't dare to be too hasty, afraid that he would fall into the trap again.
After a while, the three of them passed through the stone room and arrived at a spacious cave. It was about a hundred feet in radius.
In front of him were many towering stone pillars. Each stone pillar was connected by four iron chains. The two iron chains at the bottom were covered with stone slabs. However, after thousands of years, some of the stone slabs had been damaged.
Logically speaking, it would only take an instant to fly over such a short distance. However, he glanced at the stone tablet erected by the side of the iron chain passage and saw a row of words written in the language of the Spirit Realm. Yi Tian went forward to take a closer look and saw that it said, "It's hard to reach the other side by flying in the air."
After comparing the hints on the stone tablet with He Weiming's, the two of them thought that if they flew in the air, they would definitely trigger some kind of formation restriction. The best way was to walk along the chain passage in front of them to the other side.
However, if they really walked along the chain bridge passage, they might trigger some kind of mechanism. Yi Tian walked down the passage and took a look. He saw that there was a green river flowing below the spacious stone room. When the water from the river splashed onto the stone pillars, a sizzling sound could be heard.
"There's a sour river below. If the river water comes into contact with it, even if you don't die, you'll lose a layer of skin," Yi Tian said with a solemn expression.
"This scene is like a cage. Maybe Qian Lingzi and the others have also discovered the secret of this place and are probably trapped in some kind of mechanism," He Weiming guessed.
There was indeed such a possibility. Moreover, since this was a cage that could imprison cultivators above the Spirit Severing stage, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with Luo Que and Qian Lingzi. Thus, Yi Tian felt that he had to be more careful with every mechanism. He might be trapped before he even saw the two of them.
After spreading out his Divine Sense, he discovered that the stone pillar suspension bridge was not simple. The chains on the stone pillars were like a spiderweb, forming a passageway in the air. However, the most troublesome thing was that the passageway was not connected everywhere. It was as if there was only one correct passageway.
As long as he took the right path to the opposite side of the stone wall, he should be absolutely safe. If he took the wrong path, he might fall into the sour river below. Thus, Yi Tian had no choice but to be cautious about what to do next.
He turned around and briefly described the dangers that he could think of. He Weiming listened and smiled, "Brother Yi, don't worry. Watch this old man."
After saying that, he touched the spirit beast pouch at his waist with his right hand and muttered, "Come out."
A white spiritual light quietly floated out from the spirit beast pouch. After circling in the air, it landed on his right palm. When the spiritual light faded, a white ball of fur was revealed.
Yi Tian's divine sense moved and he immediately blurted out, "Treasure-Seeking Mouse, I didn't expect Fellow He to have such a spirit pet. What use does it have?"
He Weiming revealed a proud expression and calmly said, "Although it can help its master find natural treasures, it also has the ability to recognize the path and avoid danger."
"Fellow Daoist He wants it to lead us through the trial?"
"That's right." After saying that, He Weiming held the Treasure-Seeking Mouse up and let it see the path in front of it.
The little thing opened its small eyes and stared at the path in front of it. Then, it turned around and squeaked a few times at He Weiming. The latter took large strides and walked through the chain path in front of them.
Yi Tian didn't say anything and followed closely behind. He Weiming's clone walked at the back. The three of them were about 30 meters apart.
When they reached the first fork, He Weiming stretched out his hand again to let the Treasure-Seeking Mouse look at the path below. After three breaths, the little thing squeaked a few times at the suspension bridge on the left.
He Weiming understood and walked in the direction the Treasure-Seeking Mouse pointed. Yi Tian followed behind and revealed a puzzled expression. Suddenly, He Weiming's voice echoed in his ear. "Brother Yi, don't worry. With the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's innate sensitivity to danger, it will avoid all the wrong paths. Although it might take a long detour, safety comes first."
When Yi Tian heard this, he couldn't help but smile. Although He Weiming was right, he was still very nervous about leaving his safety in the hands of a small spirit pet. However, it seemed like He Weiming was very confident in its ability, so he couldn't say anything for the time being. He could only hope that the Treasure-Seeking Mouse would be able to bring them out of the chain path safely.
Moreover, Yi Tian was also very careful. Every time there was a fork in the path, he would use a spell to leave a mark on the right path.
After walking like this for more than an hour, the three of them arrived at the largest stone pillar in the middle. What entered their eyes was another stone tablet, but the words on the stone tablet had long been scratched away. Needless to say, it was most likely caused by Luo Que and Qian Lingzi.
However, Yi Tian felt that the top of the stone tablet seemed to have been touched, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
When He Weiming saw this, he stretched out his hand and pointed. "A part of the top of the stone tablet should have been taken away. It might be a key item."
Yi Tian nodded and replied, "Fellow Daoist He is right, but we can't find it now. It's most likely taken away. Perhaps we can find clues in the depths of the cave."
When He Weiming heard this, he didn't say anything and continued to control the Treasure-Seeking Mouse to continue forward.
Suddenly, Yi Tian heard some strange sounds below. When he looked down, his face turned pale with fright. "Fellow Daoist He, let's go quickly. The river below is starting to rise."
He Weiming's face twitched and he hurriedly sped up along the path.
