With Saint Lady Hanyue here, although the three of them did not understand the formation, they still easily broke through the barrier outside the first formation.
"The small space left by the Patriarch contains important treasures and big secrets. In order to protect it, the Patriarch set up three formations. This first formation is the simplest, but it is not something that we people can easily break through. We It’s best for the three of you not to separate.”
Although Han Yue didn't know much about the formations left by her ancestors, she had been practicing at the Sun and Moon Sect for many years, so she was somewhat clear about them.
The fog was shrouded and the direction could not be seen clearly.
The three of them moved forward slowly and soon entered the center of the fog.
The breeze blew, and the three of them looked not far away at the same time. There were countless red lights there, like pairs of blood-red eyes, bloodthirsty and fierce.
Stopping, Chen Yuan first released a gray wolf puppet, trying to draw out those eyes.
Visible dangers are always easier to deal with than invisible dangers.
However, the Gray Wolf Talisman Puppet only rushed out ten feet before losing contact with Chen Yuan. The three of them did not see anyone or anything taking action, but the hairs on their bodies stood up.
The talisman was obviously obliterated by some invisible force.
"What should we do? We can't just stand here and remain still."
Haoyue Shengji is the weakest among the three, and the most scared. When she was in Jinhan Cave, she was frightened by a tiger talisman, let alone this place.
"You guys stand here and don't move. I'll go take a look."
Although the gray wolf talisman lost contact with him, Chen Yuan still had some sense. It did not seem to die or disappear, but was suppressed by some force.
After walking about twenty feet in the fog, Chen Yuan finally saw the scene in the fog clearly.
Those countless pairs of eyes are not ferocious beasts, nor some special puppets, but red stones on three walls.
The gray wolf talisman is under the three walls. With it is a monk sitting cross-legged. However, this monk seems to be dead, but his death is very strange. There are no wounds on his body and not a drop of blood. , but his face was distorted, as if he had been frightened in some way.
Came to the wall and restored the connection with Fu Puppet.
After decisively putting the talisman into the storage bag, Chen Yuan turned back. Perhaps only Han Yue knew why there were three walls covered with red stones here.
"The Soul-Breaking Wall? If it is really the Soul-Breaking Wall, we will be in trouble. The Soul-Breaking Wall is an extremely weird method of killing. Not to mention, low-level monks like you and I, even at the peak of Foundation Establishment, may Fall."
Neither Chen Yuan nor Haoyue Shengji had heard of the Soul-Breaking Wall, so they could only listen to Han Yue's explanation.
The soul-breaking wall is, to put it bluntly, a wall. It is a special wall set up in a formation. The wall will be inlaid with countless stones, skulls or other things.
The Soul-Breaking Wall does not have the ability to kill people, but it can make people lose their minds, lose their ability to control themselves, and eventually die as if their souls were lost.
"This soul-breaking wall obviously has no killing ability, so why does it cause people to lose their souls?" Haoyue Shengji asked in confusion.
"To give you an analogy, there is a piece of paper in front of you. On the paper, there are countless circles, or countless small dots that cannot be seen clearly. If you look at those circles or dots intently, over time, you will Do you feel dizzy?"
Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan nodded at the same time. Concentrating your eyes to see something regular and dense can indeed make people dizzy and even cause fear.
"The Soul-Breaking Wall uses this fear to make people lose their minds and eventually lose their souls. The only way to break the Soul-Breaking Wall is not to look. However, it is impossible not to look, because if you don't look, you will If you can’t discover the patterns in the stones on the wall, you will still be trapped forever.”
This is the first time Chen Yuan has heard of something that kills people invisible. But now that they have arrived inside the formation, it is impossible to get out.
The breeze blew again, and a strange scream suddenly came from the three people's ears. It was very light and thin, like flying mosquitoes, but it was clearly audible.
"Hold your hearing, don't listen to that voice, it will drive us into madness faster."
Even if Chen Yuan reminded them, it was already too late. In addition to the soul-breaking walls that had been erected around them, the strange sound was also imprinted in their minds.
Closing his eyes, Chen Yuan tried not to look at the red stones on the wall, but the strange sound was already echoing in his mind.
He seemed to hear the wail of a woman in extreme pain, and also seemed to hear the cry of the death crow, which made him feel dazed and his heart beat faster.
The technique was running, trying to calm himself down, but the sounds around him were getting louder and sharper, like the ghost bell from hell, making him fall into an inescapable pain.
His eyes began to slowly turn blood red, and his face began to become distorted. When Chen Yuan was forced to open his eyes, there was nothing but chaos in front of him, as if he was walking in an endless dark mist.
Taking a step forward is hell, taking a step backward is also hell.
Lonely, helpless, crazy, and finally roaring, he no longer knows where he is, let alone who he is. Everything around him is his, but it seems that it is not his. It is psychedelic and nihilistic, and he can never catch it. .
Gently raising his right hand, Chen Yuan wanted to grab something in front of him, but no matter how hard he grabbed it, he couldn't. It was clearly his own thing, and it was right in front of him, but it seemed to be thousands of miles away. He wants it but cannot get it.
Finally, because he couldn't get it, Chen Yuan started to yell. He tried to find the reason, and he seemed to find the reason, but the reason told him that because it was his thing, it would not be given to him.
The two girls had a similar experience to Chen Yuan. Although they protected their hearing immediately, the strange sound still affected them.
The green light peck in Haoyue Shengji's hand has been placed on her neck. She will kill herself with just one thought.
Although Hanyue Shengji is a foundation-building monk and has much stronger willpower than Haoyue, she has too many facts in her heart, and she wants these things but cannot get them, which eventually makes her fall into madness and wave the long sword in her hand. , and almost hit Chen Yuan several times.
Just when the three of them were mentally affected by the soul-breaking wall, a voice suddenly sounded in Chen Yuan's mind. This person was none other than Liu Muyun.
"Brother Chen, thank you, thank you for saving me, making me no longer worry about the Xuanyin Body, no longer afraid."
"Brother Chen, without you, I might have become a walking zombie."
"Brother Chen, thank you. I cooked the most delicious meal for you. Do you like it?"
To be honest, Chen Yuan never thought Liu Muyun was so important in his heart. Deep down in his heart, he only thought that Liu Muyun was a passerby on his path of spiritual practice.
However, at this time, he realized that except for Liu Muyun, both Jin Wu and the saints of the Sun and Moon Sect were just passing smoke.
Maybe it was the delicious food that Chen Yuan couldn't forget, or maybe it was Liu Muyun's figure and appearance that deeply attracted him.
In short, it was Liu Muyun's voice that awakened his sanity.
His red eyes suddenly became clear, the strange sounds in his ears disappeared, and the fog and the wall full of red stones appeared in front of him again.
The Burning Heart Sword roared out, and the Burning Sun Sword slashed down in the air.
The sound of rumbling collapse followed in the mist. When the soul-breaking wall collapsed and shattered, the two Han Yue girls also woke up from their confusion.
If there had been another half moment, Haoyue might have killed herself, and Han Yue might have cut off her own sword.
Calm returned to the scene and the fog dissipated.
"Let's go. This first formation has been broken."
Chen Yuan was in front and continued walking deeper.
But when the two women looked at Chen Yuan again, they felt that he had become a different person.
If the person who entered the formation was just a good monk, then at this moment, he was like a strong man standing above them, exuding an aura that they had to worship.
You must know that Han Yue is a real monk in the foundation building stage, while Chen Yuan is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. This kind of difference in strength should not make Han Yue Shengji admire her.
"How did you get out of your mental fantasy? Is your strength based on Qi refining or foundation building?"
Hanyue Shengji felt that she could no longer see through Chen Yuan.
As the fog dissipated, the three of them quickly arrived at the edge of the second-level formation. Along the way, they discovered a dozen corpses and withered bones.
There were seven Colorful Sans in total, and there were already more than a dozen withered bones in the first level of the formation. It was obvious that many monks had tried to enter the cave in the past, but none of them had the illusion of getting out of the Soul-Breaking Wall.
Hanyue Shengji did not know the contents of the first level of formation, and she knew nothing about the second level of formation. Therefore, if the three of them want to get out of the second level of formation, they can only rely on themselves.
Looking at each other, the two girls had already regarded Chen Yuan as their backbone. They looked at each other, wanting to get Chen Yuan's answer.
"Hide first, someone is coming."
Chen Yuan did not notice the gazes of the two women, but after whispering a word, he quietly hid in a hidden place.
Not long after, a monk covered in blood and in tattered clothes stumbled over. This monk who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining seemed to have encountered some kind of terrifying existence. As he ran away, he said to himself:
"Don't chase me. You must not chase me. My meat is not delicious."
The monk was seriously injured. He only ran a few steps before lying on the ground motionless. Behind him, there were three transparent shadows floating in the air.
The three of them could see clearly that the three phantoms were clearly some kind of ghosts. They had no body and were thin but extremely powerful.
Chen Yuan doesn't know if there are really ghosts in the world. But the three ghosts in front of him must be eliminated.
They have discovered three people, and they have revealed their bloodthirsty fangs.
"Ghost? Why is there such a thing here? Did the ancestor raise ghosts?"
Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan both looked at Han Yue Shengji at the same time, hoping to learn from her the origin of the ghost in front of them.
