The other two, one looked at a young man in his twenties, with delicate skin on his face, like a woman's, with narrow eyes and a slightly demonic air. Dressed in tooth-white embroidered brocade clothes, holding a shining dark gold folding fan, the jade tree stands in the wind.
The other man was an old man in his fifties, with a pale face, three strands of long beard under his chin, and was wearing a round-neck robe.
Although Yang Zhen had never met these two people, it was not difficult to guess that the young man should be Zhao Yixiang, the king of Lu, and the elder Shi Mu Qichen, the chief of the palace.
These three people seemed to be very close to them, but somehow, when their spiritual consciousness probed them, they felt far away.
Yang Zhen was greatly surprised. While taking out the Ruyi Stick and preparing for it, she turned her head to greet Mu Zixue, preparing to strike first.
But he saw this beautiful Yuanying sister looking at him leisurely, with a bit of teasing in her beautiful eyes.
Yang Zhenruo realized something and tentatively fired a [wooden arrow] at the three of them.
Green light flashed, as if a light curtain opened in front of him, and the wooden arrow disappeared behind the light curtain without a trace.
The three people in the distance were completely unaware.
"Dislocation in space?" Yang Zhen said in surprise.
"To be precise, it's the folding of space." Mu Zixue explained: "In front of us, there are dozens of spaces, overlapping and squeezed together."
"Can't they see us?" Yang Zhen was doubtful.
"What do you think?" Mu Zixue rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Think about it with your pig brain. If you could see it, wouldn't people have any reaction until now?"
Yang Zhen scratched her head in embarrassment.
But I was secretly happy in my heart. Senior sister's mood was much better now.
Mu Zixue became interested, pointed at the spherical crystal with her jade hand, and continued: "This object has thirty-six sides, and each side has been refined with a top-grade sky stone, and then projected through the formation here. A space that actually exists.”
"The best Kong Ming Stone!" Yang Zhen was stunned.
This item is extremely rare.
Let's put it this way, because of Qin Mingyue and Mu Zixue, what is stored in the treasury of Qin State and Yunxiao Sect is no longer a secret to him. However, these two big countries, each with a territory of more than 20,000 miles, searched the entire treasury and could not find a single top-quality Kongming Stone!
Three thousand years ago, the Yunwang Sect was completely destroyed because of such a stone!
But the cave they found today actually cost thirty-six pieces!
The value of that crystal is probably even higher than that of sapphire!
The ancestor of the Zhao family probably did not recognize this object, so it was not mentioned specifically in the jade slips.
"So, we must pass through these thirty-six spaces before we can reach the cave?" Yang Zhen suddenly realized.
"Well, it's not too stupid!" Mu Zixue nodded slightly, but her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly:
"These thirty-six spaces are not that easy to find!"
It turns out that every space they are about to pass will form another thirty-five mirror spaces due to the interference of the other thirty-five mirrors!
Almost exactly the same, there are thirty-five illusory spaces that cannot be distinguished or disturbed by spiritual consciousness, touch, magic, etc.!
In other words, the spaces they actually encountered along the way were multiples of thirty-six times thirty-six, a total of one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six spaces.
Among them, only thirty-six are true! This is the only correct path!
The probability is less than one in a thousand!
If you step into those illusory spaces accidentally, you will probably wander in them for dozens or hundreds of days, until finally the space is annihilated and you are lost in the turbulent flow of space.
With their current cultivation level, there is almost no chance of survival!
No wonder the ancestor of the Zhao family knew that there was a rare treasure hidden here, but could not organize his clan members to explore it.
No wonder Lu Wang was collecting prisoners everywhere just to help them find the only way to survive at this level.
"They are..." Yang Zhen pointed to the three people in the distance and said worriedly: "Have they come out already?"
"Not yet!" Mu Zixue shook her head slightly: "Every time we step out of one of these thirty-six spaces, the figure will reappear in front of us until they enter the next space."
“How much space have they covered?”
"It's hard for me to judge this," Mu Zixue said thoughtfully, "However, since more than half a year has passed, I think it's almost the end."
At this moment, there was movement ahead.
Mu Qichen was seen taking out a spirit beast bag from his waist, white light flashed continuously, and several monks wearing prison uniforms appeared on one side, including men, women, old and young.
King Lu sat cross-legged and pointed with his left hand at the void in front of him. In an instant, three three-foot-high and bottomless space entrances appeared.
These entrances are extremely unstable and will disappear in an instant. However, King Lu waved the dark gold folding fan with his right hand, shooting out several golden lights between opening and closing. The entrances were immediately inlaid with golden arcs, temporarily stabilized.
"The attainments in this subspace are quite impressive." Mu Zixue couldn't help but praise.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yuan walked to one of the space entrances, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then walked to the next entrance in silence.
After visiting all three entrances, he pointed at one and shook his head vigorously.
The entrance immediately shattered and dissipated like bubbles.
"This Zhou Yuan can actually eliminate the most impossible spaces and narrow the scope of exploration. I never thought that his talent could be so useful!" Mu Zixue sighed.
At this time, Mu Qichen took out two green pills with a few dark lines from his arms, ordered two of the monks to swallow them, and then threw them into the remaining two entrances.
】
Yang Zhen raised her eyebrows, and a trace of anger flashed across her face.
"Those two pills look a bit like [Half Moon Soul]," Yiyi's voice sounded from the sea of consciousness: "If you don't have an antidote within half a month after swallowing this kind of pill, you will definitely die. In addition, if you take it People who take this medicine will also emit a peculiar smell that lingers for a long time.”
Yang Zhen suddenly realized. Apparently, King Lu and the others relied on this medicine to order the monks to help them explore exits in various spaces.
In order to survive, these people dare not not try their best to search within these ten days.
Finally, they followed the traces and found the person who led to the only exit. The smell of the Half-Moon Soul left behind along the way allowed them to pass through this space smoothly.
What a good idea!
Next, the three of them followed the same pattern. Mu Qichen continued to release monks from different spirit beast bags, Zhao Yixiang continued to find and secure the entrance to the space, and Zhou Yuan tried his best to exclude the most impossible spaces to save them some manpower and resources.
Not to mention anything else, the half-moon soul alone is worth fifty middle-grade spiritual stones. Even with King Lu's wealth, it would be difficult for him to bear such a large consumption.
After burning incense like this, all thirty-six spaces have been found, of which Zhou Yuan eliminated seven, and the remaining twenty-nine spaces were arranged for twenty-nine people to enter.
Then the three of them sat cross-legged and meditated, waiting quietly.
…
Mu Zixue looked at Yang Zhen. The two looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in the other's eyes.
Time waits not for us!
They must hurry up and start exploring now!
But, with more than a thousand spaces, how should we start?
Is it possible that they also want to send more than a thousand people to explore the road?
Use the lives of others to pave your own path to immortality?
If they do this, what's the difference between them and Lu Wang?
Do you want to abandon the way of protection that you have always insisted on and do whatever it takes to achieve your goal?
Yang Zhen vetoed it without hesitation.
Some things can be done; some things must not be done!
Mu Zixue was also reviewing herself at this time:
"The Prime Minister stayed outside. In addition to being on guard, he was in contact with the Divine Intention Sect and kept sending in pills and pathfinding monks. From this point of view, he should have a special method of communication and know how to pass through those A space that has been explored.”
"I was impatient. I should have kept this person." She put her hand on her forehead, feeling regretful.
"If it doesn't work, let's just stay here and wait for work." Yang Zhen suggested.
This is also a way. Mu Zixue thought for a moment, but still shook her head:
"Nalu Wang is quite gifted in space. If he were allowed to refine the crystal ball, he might find another way to leave this place."
The Prime Minister is dead. Even if King Lu doesn't know it now, he will definitely notice it in a few days. At that time, people will inevitably find another way to escape.
Once King Zanglu escaped from this cave and returned to the capital of Zhao Kingdom, Mu Zixue could only look forward to it and sigh, even if she had Nascent Soul cultivation.
The State of Zhao also has an ancestor of Yuanying.
After thinking about it, the most ideal way is to rush to the cave in time and snatch the treasure from the opponent.
How to do it?
At this moment, Yiyi spoke:
"Brother, just do as I say, I have a solution."
…
Yang Zhen had her legs crossed, her palms facing upwards, and her eyes closed.
A slim green plant was taken out from the bluestone space.
It's Yaoyi grass.
Then, he stretched out his fingers and carefully broke one of the green leaves.
He held his hands together, clamped the leaves in his palms and rubbed them vigorously. After several breaths, the green leaves turned into thirty-six pieces.
Mu Zixue looked at the man's actions with surprise and joy. She pinched her jade fingers continuously, and twelve space entrances appeared in front of her.
However, purple cold light flashed, and all twelve entrances were fixed.
Yang Zhen stretched out her hand and flicked it, and twelve green leaves flew into twelve spaces.
Next, Mu Zixue fixed twenty-four space entrances one after another, and then the remaining blades flew in one after another.
She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. While adjusting her breath to recover, she continued to use magic to fix the entrance.
Only then did Yang Zhen open her eyes, with a look of joy and worry on her face.
Only then did Yiyi occupy his body and complete the series of operations.
Thirty-six broken leaves are equivalent to thirty-six clones of the little fairy grass. Of course, the spiritual power is very weak and there is no independent consciousness.
With the help of Yao Yicao's innate space ability, every broken leaf can be controlled by Yiyi's body to explore the space where it is located.
The efficiency is far superior to those unwilling and helpless prisoner monks.
But this approach consumes a lot of money for Yiyi itself.
…
About three hours later, Yang Zhen's heart moved and she beamed with joy.
A little green light appeared three feet ahead.
The exit to the first space was found.
He quickly woke up Mu Zixue, and under Yiyi's guidance, he selected one of the entrances and leaned in.
Mu Zixue was slightly startled, gritted her teeth, and followed closely.
…
This is a white world, boundless, with no entrance in sight, and no way out ahead.
If those monks who are forced to explore the path want to find an exit, they can only use continuous magic to detect and find the weak points.
With luck, the weak spot will open at the touch of a finger, and that's the real exit.
If you are unlucky, the weak point will collapse and shatter, causing the entire space to collapse and annihilate, and the person will die accordingly.
Even if you are lucky, if you want to find the only node in such a space, you will not be able to do it easily without hundreds of magic trials and thirty to fifty days of searching and walking.
However, Yiyi's clone blade only took three hours!
What an efficiency!
"Because this little fairy found the scent left by the half-moon soul inside." Yiyi said proudly:
"Only that real space will still have the scent of the Half-Moon Soul. The other spaces were all regenerated as illusions after annihilation, and the scent has long since disappeared."
Yang Zhen was overjoyed and flew in the white sky with Mu Zixue one behind the other.
After a few breaths, a black round hole several feet wide appeared in front of him. Yang Zhen grabbed Mu Zixueyu's hand, and the two hugged each other and got out.
At this time, the Yuanying sister was still immersed in the incredible surprise, so she didn't care about the man's affectionate behavior and allowed him to hold her in his arms, like an extremely obedient little daughter-in-law.
The place where the two of them were standing was indeed three feet away from the bottom of the cave.
At this time, the three Lu Wangs in front were still sitting on the ground, no change from a few hours ago.
Yang Zhen put the only surviving broken leaf into the space. After a while, she sat cross-legged again and carefully took out the Yaoyi grass.
Following the same pattern, it only took more than an hour this time to find the next space passage.
Lu Wang and the other three remained motionless.
If they go at this speed, they will be able to reach the depths of the cave in less than ten days, and maybe they can get ahead of King Lu and the others.
However, only eight green leaves grew in total. At this time, two out of eight of the small fairy grasses were pale and shaky.
"Brother, Yiyi needs to rest for a while." Xiao Xiancao pouted and said a little aggrievedly.
Yang Zhen quickly held her in her arms, feeling distressed and moved at the same time.
"Okay, you can rest as long as you like. Brother is waiting for you. Brother, don't be in a hurry."
Yiyi's eyes were red, and she responded timidly, then grabbed a top-quality spiritual stone and placed it on her chest, lying next to the Yaoyi grass, and slowly fell asleep.
Yang Zhen gently stroked the girl's hair and waited quietly.
Spiritual energy so rich that it almost condensed into water vapor surged out from Yiyi's chest, like a whirlwind, spinning around the Yaoyi grass.
Yang Zhen could see with the naked eye two new green leaves, sprouting from the broken parts and stretching outward.
In almost two hours, the two new leaves grew to their original size.
Yiyi's delicate eyelashes blinked and she opened her eyes.
"Brother, let's continue!"
The girl smiled sweetly.
…
Five days later, Yang Zhen and Mu Zixue had passed through seventeen dimensions.
There are finally new changes on Lu Wang's side.
A young man in ragged clothes appeared ten feet in front of them.
The sapphire and the crystal sphere were only a few feet away.
