Chen Xiao is not in a hurry, he will first find a way to get out alive.
With the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique, you don't have to worry about your cultivation. As long as you practice hard, you will soon break through to the Dan Gathering Realm.
The clothes on his body were already in tatters, and he took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles.
After this breakthrough, Chen Xiao felt that he had grown a lot taller, because he couldn't see his specific appearance because he didn't have a mirror.
His figure became more slender, and an invisible pressure surged around him.
After putting on a new robe, Chen Xiao looked around with the help of starlight.
"Cave?"
Looking behind me, I found a cave half a man's height at the end of the platform, and I had to bend down to get in.
Those plants grow from both sides of the cave. If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice that there is a cave entrance here.
Clear away the weeds on both sides of the hole to reveal the entire hole.
The cave was pitch black and bottomless, and Chen Xiao didn't know if there was any danger inside.
It was too windy outside to light the fire.
"Go in and take a look!"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiao decided to go in and take a look. If he stayed here, no one would be able to save him.
The cat bent down and crawled in along the entrance of the hole. It was very slow and could only barely walk alone.
After crawling for about a minute, the cave began to widen.
There was no Gang Feng inside, so Chen Xiao took out the fire seal.
After lighting up, you could barely see a few meters in radius. The stone walls were very damp and covered with moss in some places.
A damp and decaying smell came from the depths of the passage.
I was able to stand up reluctantly, and after making sure there was no danger, I continued walking inside.
The passage seemed to extend all the way down the cliff. I had already walked for more than ten minutes and before I could see the bottom, I felt a strong sense of depression.
Staying in a small, sealed environment for a long time can put a lot of pressure on people.
Chen Xiao was no exception. The passage was too narrow, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The sound of dripping water came from the silent cave, which cheered up Chen Xiao.
Stepping on the uneven ground, Chen Xiao quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the sound of dripping water.
The view ahead is getting wider and wider, starting from a small passage and gradually widening.
Chen Xiao almost ran as fast as he could, because the surroundings were silent and the sound of dripping water came from far away.
Sudden!
Chen Xiao stopped his body. There was no road ahead of him, only a huge cave.
Even more terrifying, there is a skeleton sitting in the deepest part of the cave.
A terrifying aura burst out from the skeleton's body.
On the other side of the skull, there is a small groove.
Drops of milky white liquid flowed out from the cracks in the stone above the head and fell into the groove.
Perhaps it was too old, and the grooves were filled with milky white liquid, which had overflowed and seeped into the ground.
"Ten thousand years of stalactite!"
Chen Xiao exclaimed, these milky white liquids are not ordinary water droplets, but thousands of years of stalactites.
It only takes ten thousand years to form, and it is extremely rare.
Ignoring the ten thousand year stalactite, Chen Xiao looked at the skeleton.
After a brief inspection, his eyes fell on the ring finger of the skeleton's left hand, wearing a strange and primitive ring.
Everything on his body had long since been reduced to ashes, only this ring remained intact.
The strange thing is that there are several broken bones in the chest of the skull. It should have been hit in the chest with a huge palm during life.
Chen Xiao didn't move. If he was unsure, he wouldn't touch anything here.
After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Xiao suddenly knelt in front of the skeleton:
"Junior has no intention of disturbing senior's eternal sleep. Please forgive me. I will leave when I find an exit."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he kowtowed three times to the skeleton.
The deceased was the elder, and he had disturbed others' sleep, so he felt a little sorry.
"Kakaka..."
Just when Chen Xiao finished kowtowing, there was a clicking sound in front of the skeleton, and a strange monument rose up.
Chen Xiao took a step back, with a look of shock on his face.
There are many words engraved on the stone tablet, but because they are far apart, Chen Xiao cannot see them clearly.
After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Xiao walked towards the stone monument step by step.
Crouching down, he looked at the words above.
"I am the ancestor of the Lei family in Zhongshenzhou. I was attacked by villains and seriously injured. I fled here. If any descendants enter this place and kowtow to me, they will be able to see this inscription. If they don't kowtow, they will be attacked. Formation kill..."
The opening paragraph of the inscription made Chen Xiao break into a cold sweat.
When I come in and kowtow, I do it entirely based on my conscience.
If he hadn't kowtowed just now, wouldn't he have been obliterated by the formation here.
A trace of anger welled up in Chen Xiao's heart.
Read on.
"If you read this passage, it proves that you are a person with a pure heart and know that the deceased is the greatest, and I will be relieved. The biggest mistake I made in my life was to accept that evil disciple, so I am especially concerned about my character. value."
Chen Xiao could feel the pain in this senior's heart, and the anger that had surged in his heart just now disappeared.
There were many words on the inscription, so Chen Xiao continued to read.
After reading the last word, Chen Xiao stood up and exhaled.
After writing thousands of words eloquently, Chen Xiao relied on the Nine Heavens Divine Pillar to quickly digest all the words and basically knew the whole story.
The senior who died was named Lei Banruo, and he came from Central China.
As for where Zhongshenzhou is, Chen Xiao doesn't know. It should be somewhere far away.
He took in a disciple who was extremely talented. In just a few years, he learned all the formation spells on Lei Banruo.
Later, he coveted the appearance of Lei Banruo's granddaughter and proposed marriage to the master, but the master refused.
For this reason, this disciple held a grudge and secretly attacked his master.
In just a few years, this disciple's cultivation level has surpassed that of his master. He was hunted all the way and fled to Baiyun Kingdom.
In the end, Lei Banruo was still seriously injured and died here.
The inscription mountain also records that if the ring is touched rashly, thousands of arrows will be fired, killing everyone who comes in instantly.
It was a storage ring, and it was also recorded on the inscription that one could identify its owner with just a drop of blood, which was countless times more advanced than a storage bag.
Storage bags are inconvenient to carry and have limited space inside.
The last paragraph of the inscription made Chen Xiao look embarrassed.
He has planted a trap here. If you want to get out of here alive, you must swear to God and promise him something.
As long as you agree, you can inherit his mantle, and the price is to avenge him.
Chen Xiao was in a dilemma, he didn't know where Zhongshenzhou was.
If Lei Ban can reach here, he must be an extremely expert, and he can only enter this place by flying.
If he doesn't agree, Chen Xiao will be trapped here forever, leaving Chen Xiao in a dilemma.
Chen Xiao knew nothing about battle magic. During the assessment, he was almost killed by someone using battle magic.
If he could learn superb formation skills, it would definitely be a great blessing for Chen Xiao.
Moreover, the later refining of elixirs and weapons are inseparable from formation spells.
Especially for refining weapons, you need to break into formations one after another.
"Kakaka..."
Small holes suddenly appeared on the stone walls on both sides, and thousands of arrows were aimed at Chen Xiao.
If you don't agree, you will die!
Once the oath is taken, it will be recorded by the heavens, and Chen Xiao will complete it.
"I, Chen Xiao, swear that I am willing to inherit the legacy of my predecessors. If I disobey this, I will be struck by lightning."
After weighing the situation, Chen Xiao believed that the advantages of inheriting Lei Banruo's legacy outweighed the disadvantages.
First, inheriting the mantle can leave from here.
Second, inheriting the mantle can practice superb formation magic.
Based on these two points alone, Chen Xiao had no reason to refuse.
As for revenge, Chen Xiao would not go there rashly before his cultivation level was reached. When the cultivation level was reached, he would just do it casually.
Killing masters and killing ancestors is a heinous act, and Chen Xiao hates this kind of people the most.
As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, all the arrows in the stone wall retreated and disappeared without a trace.
The stone tablet exploded and turned into countless fragments. Chen Xiao then walked towards the skeleton step by step and took off the storage ring.
