For about a quarter of an hour, the compass hanging in front of Chu Mu with a faint white fluorescence slowly returned to silence as the compass pointer stopped rotating.
Chu Mu seemed to be aware of it. He took out a jade slip and recorded all the information he observed. Then he looked at a bottomless ravine not far away.
In the past, he might still be a little unfamiliar with this kind of self-contained space, but after refining the spirit beast bag and realizing the mystery of the heaven and earth, he has obviously become familiar with this kind of self-contained space. Quite a clear understanding.
Just like the ruins in front of you, even the famous secret realm in the world of immortality, and the so-called small world.
In fact, there is no essential difference between them and the Qiankun Bag he refined. They are all small worlds that depend on this big world of cultivating immortals.
The only difference between the two is the quality and quantity of space.
Just like the East Lake Secret Realm back then, it can be regarded as a super large Qiankun Bag. Its essence is still the same as the Qiankun Bag. It exists dependent on this world of immortality, and is not a true self-contained world.
And the essence of this ruined cave is naturally the same.
It is a product created by ancient monks with great supernatural powers. It exists based on the world of immortality, forms its own space, and achieves true isolation from the world.
As far as he knew, this type of cave dwelling with its own space isolated from the world was also quite popular in ancient times.
In many ancient records, it even has the reputation of "Xianfu".
The relic inheritance that has left countless legends in the world of immortality often refers to this type of immortal mansion.
Of course, the most important thing is that these kinds of isolated fairy mansions are often the only ones that can be passed down over the long years.
If it is an ordinary cave, even if the formation can last for a very long time, the formation is exposed and the traces are obvious. Unless it is a deserted place, otherwise, under the evolution of the years, it must have become a monk's opportunity long ago, and it is impossible to inherit too much. Long.
Since such fairy mansions and secret realms that form their own space rely on this world of immortality to exist, there must be observable traces of the connection.
And this connection often has distinctive characteristics.
For example, the connection between the East Lake Secret Realm and the Immortal Cultivation World lies in the jade slips coming from the secret realm. In other words, it is a token that opens the secret realm and enters and exits the secret realm.
For example, his Qiankun Bag needs to be guided by the breath of his soul in order to open the Qiankun Bag and store living and dead objects.
The connection among them can actually be regarded as a portal, a portal that must exist as long as it exists in a space that relies on the world of immortality.
However, this kind of portal is often subject to various restrictions set by those who control it.
Just like locking a door, it is a very common principle.
This type of space has the most obvious connection with the world of immortality, and the most obvious traces are here.
Even if this relic inheritance is hidden, it appears every sixty years, and its portal must be like this.
The only difference is whether he can detect this door and whether he can open it.
Chu Mu looked at the compass, and the pointer was fixed in the direction of due south, which was also the direction of the bottomless ravine he was looking at.
According to the investigation of this compass, there is a spatial fluctuation in the ravine.
However, this spatial fluctuation is extremely obscure and extremely unstable.
It was as if the position of the door was changing all the time and was not fixed.
"Is it the formation covering up, or the changes in space?"
Chu Mu thought for a moment, if it was the former, then there must be traces to follow, and maybe he wouldn't have to wait for a while before he could find a way to break the formation and open the door.
If it is the latter, it is undoubtedly beyond his capabilities.
With the help of this compass, he can barely achieve the goal of monitoring space and even chaotic and solidified space.
But this kind of use of space is obviously still superficial, more like knowing what is happening but not knowing why.
After all, even the powerful Nascent Soul has only just touched upon the level of space.
The reason why he was able to refine this space-based compass magic weapon was more of a trick, using the secrets of the formation to produce space-level effects.
His own understanding of space is limited to some knowledge of the self-contained world when he was refining the Qiankun Bag. Other than that, his knowledge is extremely limited.
Chu Mu took one step forward, and with a flash of his body, he stepped out of the airship and walked on the seabed. In just a few breaths, he was already hanging above the deep sea ravine.
Although it has reached the bottom of the sea in the traditional sense, this ravine is still bottomless.
Chu Mu thought for a moment, and while the magic power was flowing, the figure hanging on it also slowly descended towards the depths of the ravine.
The ravine was not wide, only a few feet wide, but in addition to being bottomless, its length stretched from what he could see to the endless darkness of the seabed, with no end in sight.
The rocks on both sides of the ravine are exposed, unknown corals and shellfish are piled up, and there are many strange rocks. Under the darkness, it seems to be inexplicably depressed.
According to common sense, the bottom of the sea has always been a place where monsters and beasts emerge in endlessly. However, this ravine was indescribably silent and there was no abnormal movement. He descended for dozens of miles in the ravine and did not even see a single one in the true sense. Creatures.
Chu Mu's expression was tense, mana flowed around his body, and a hint of sharpness and sharpness lingered around him, as if he was undisguisedly vigilant.
The aura of the seabed is so rich that it is impossible to survive without monsters.
This ravine is even more dense in spiritual energy. There must be a spiritual vein somewhere in the ravine.
In such a place with rich spiritual energy, there are no monsters. That is the biggest anomaly.
Abnormality must mean unknown.
Unknown means unpredictable danger!
"The location has changed again?"
After descending for hundreds of miles, Chu Mu suddenly stopped. He held the compass in his hand, and his tense expression became solemn.
According to what he observed on the flying boat, the place where the obscure space fluctuation appeared should be roughly at the height where he is now.
But when he got here, this obscure spatial fluctuation changed its direction again.
Not to mention descending for dozens of miles, the position has also changed. It seems that from this ravine, it has been embedded in the rock wall on the side, and it has penetrated dozens of miles into it.
"Is it an irregular natural change, or is it a change caused by being spied on?"
Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the vigilance in his heart seemed to be a little stronger.
If it's the former, that's easy to say.
If it is the latter, it undoubtedly means that the ruins have an owner, and this trip to the ruins is probably going to be difficult.
Chu Mu looked around, then raised his hand and threw out a sword light. The sword light sank into the rock wall and endured the pressure of countless seawater. The stone walls that had long since transformed into spiritual materials were as fragile as tofu after being washed away by spiritual energy.
In just an instant, under the stirring of the sword light, a simple underwater cave was formed.
Chu Mu took one step forward, entered the cave and sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, the compass suspended in front of him, and he monitored the obscure space fluctuations again.
This time, the monitoring lasted for nearly ten days.
The results obtained made Chu Mu feel relieved a little.
The azimuth changes of spatial fluctuations seem to be just irregular natural changes, rather than artificial manipulation.
On one occasion, the direction of the spatial fluctuation was even outside his cave.
However, even though the space fluctuation was right in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't catch a glimpse of it.
The pattern of changes in the direction is even more difficult to detect. It is hundreds of miles in radius, the direction is uncertain, and the time of change is uncertain. There is no pattern at all.
The only gain was probably that he knew the reason why the spiritual energy in this place was so strong but no monsters existed.
And this reason is even more simple. With such a large coverage area and such random spatial fluctuations, no matter how obscure they are, they will inevitably have a certain impact on the spatial stability of this area.
As for monsters, their instinctive senses are often extremely keen, and their sense of the living environment is even more acute.
Changes in the living environment will naturally arouse the vigilance of monsters.
After all, no living being will survive in an unsafe place.
"If that's the case, then we really have to wait...a period of time?"
Chu Mu pursed his lips, seeming a little hesitant but also a little relieved.
Fortunately, before he came, he had already been mentally prepared to wait for a long time.
Retreating for a period of time is considered a normal thing in the Jindan realm.
His sleeves were rolled up, and as usual, he had not left any traces to be seen here. With one step, he turned into a red sword light and rose into the sky along the ravine from the bottom of the sea.
Seeing Chu Mu appear, Zhao Shuang and the three people who had been waiting for a long time on the flying boat seemed to be clearly at peace.
Such dangers are lurking in the outer sea. Without the protection of Chu Mu, the only result of just the three of them building a small foundation is probably... death without a burial place!
"Chu is very curious about this deep sea. How did you get to this place with your cultivation in the foundation-building realm?"
After entering the flying boat, Chu Mu's first words were meaningful words to Xie Yu, who was standing in front of him.
Xie Yu's expression changed slightly, but he seemed to have expected it. He quickly bowed his hands and said, "Senior, please forgive me. This junior is following the seniors of my clan."
Chu Mu's expression did not change, and he looked at Xie Yu and the others in front of him with interest, waiting for a satisfactory answer.
"The junior came here following the seniors in the clan when he was still in the Qi training realm..."
Xie Yu explained methodically.
A very clear answer, but one that could not confirm whether it was true or false, was also placed in front of Chu Mu.
According to what Xie Yu said, he followed a Nascent Soul ancestor of the Xie family when he was in the Qi training realm. It was considered a trial for the Xie family. At that time, many disciples of the same clan also participated...
"In other words, have you ever been inside this ruins?"
Chu Mu didn't care whether the statement was true or not, and pointed to the key point.
Xie Yu handed over another jade slip and said respectfully:
"This is the internal information of the ruins recorded by this junior. Senior, please check it out."
