Since the cave is not large, the blue light mask almost fills the entire space.
The original palm-sized blue sky has disappeared, and everything has turned into a mask of light.
Zhou Yang stared at the mask for a moment, then with a move of his fingers, the blue sky returned to its original size.
There was no way to test the defensive ability here. He could only try again later when he found an opportunity.
However, I have seen Xiao Daoyi use this treasure before, and there was no reaction even if the top-quality magic weapon was hit on it. I believe it will be no problem if he uses it.
After collecting the blue sky, Zhou Yang released his spiritual consciousness to explore. It was almost sunset, so he simply continued to practice.
Late at night, bursts of wailing sounds suddenly came out. The sounds were sad and shrill, and hearing them made people involuntarily sad.
But that wailing sound had only one tone, and it was high overhead.
Zhou Yang was startled and stood up suddenly, thinking to himself that someone might have come here?
Listening to this voice, it doesn't sound like it's a disciple of the three Dingbei sects, nor does it sound like someone from Bai Zongshan. Could it be that they are the aborigines in the secret realm?
The wailing sound lasted for half a stick of incense and then gradually faded away.
Zhou Yang didn't dare to make a mistake, and listened quietly for a while. After he was sure that there was no sound, he dared to use his consciousness to check again.
Due to the suppressive effect of the secret realm, his consciousness can only travel a few tens of feet, which is less than 10% of the outer range.
"This place is really strange!" After searching without results, Zhou Yang shook his head and meditated again to recover.
Early on the next morning, Zhou Yang woke up, walked out of the cave and put away the array flags, and then he looked around.
This place has long been far away from the confrontation with the giant python, and it is not the place where we first went up the mountain. It should be on the other side of the hillside.
Convinced that there were no high-level monsters nearby, he returned to the previous mountain peak and continued climbing up.
Perhaps it was because of his bad luck that he didn't encounter high-level monsters all the way to the top of the mountain and successfully reached the top.
But this is just the first step into the secret realm. There should be many unknown dangers behind.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Zhou Yang looked far into the distance. As far as the eye can see, there are endless mountains, and in the distance there are dense forests with no end in sight.
There are still white lights flickering vaguely, which are rivers and waterfalls in the mountains.
It's a cloudy day today, so the sight is not too far away.
Zhou Yang looked up and saw dark clouds moving with the wind, as if there was going to be heavy rain in the mountains.
They didn't encounter any trouble when they were going down the mountain. Only the four-level blind people blocking the way were killed by Zhou Yang, who was holding his breath.
There is a small river at the foot of the mountain, more than ten feet wide, flowing from west to east.
The river water is crystal clear and not very deep. The aquatic plants on the bottom of the river flowed and the water flowed all towards the east, but there was not a single small fish in sight.
Across the river is a vast forest. The forest is full of tall and sturdy trees, most of which are more than a hundred feet high. The smallest ones are five or six feet in diameter, and the larger ones are dozens of feet tall.
Zhou Yang was a little stunned. He had never seen such a thick tree in the outside world, and after the strong wind blew, only the leaves swayed, and even the branches did not move much.
He came to the small river and looked at the clear water. He became playful for a moment, and then he casually surged out a stream of spiritual power and rolled it towards the water plants at the bottom of the river.
In his opinion, the river, whose bottom he could see at a glance, was not very deep.
However, he was wrong. The spiritual power penetrated two feet into the water, but the water plants did not move at all. Judging from the fluctuations of the spiritual power, it was still far away from the water plants.
"Oh, so deep!" Zhou Yang was a little surprised, and once again rolled his spiritual power deeper into the water.
Three feet, five feet, seven feet, ten feet, ten feet is the limit here.
But unfortunately, he still hasn't come into contact with those water plants.
"This, this is a phantom!" Zhou Yang suddenly understood.
Those water plants that are within reach should not exist, or in other words, they do not exist here, but are the phantoms of water plants in other places.
In order to verify his conjecture, Zhou Yang picked up a pebble from the river and threw it into the water.
The pebbles sank to the bottom of the river with a splash, right where the few water plants were swaying.
A ripple spread around, but the water plants disappeared, leaving only the small pebble lying quietly at the bottom of the river.
Zhou Yang picked up a few more stones and threw them into the river. The result was the same: they all fell into the water and disappeared, and some fish swimming in the water were also found.
"This is actually a formation?" Zhou Yang was secretly surprised.
The water plants in the river are everywhere. Are they all phantoms? If that were the case, this would be a very large phantom formation, and the person who set up the phantom formation would definitely have high level of formation skills.
He had memorized the First Interpretation of Qimen in his heart. The First Interpretation of Qimen also had many introductions to the illusion array, and there were also several simple ways to arrange the illusion array, but they were all entry-level. They were different from the illusion array in the river. It's incomparable, but anyone with a higher level of cultivation can see through it.
Zhou Yang stared at the water, recalling the introduction of the phantom formation in Qimen's first solution, and quickly fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he took out a formation diagram from his storage bag and studied it carefully.
This formation diagram is a simple illusion formation. He had only briefly drawn it before and did not understand it deeply. Now inspired by the phantom in the river, I couldn't help but have some inspiration, so I took out the materials and started playing with them.
This activity lasted for several hours. Zhou Yang was immersed in it, completely unaware that it was getting dark, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and a gentle breeze was blowing up.
It wasn't until a muffled thunder exploded that Zhou Yang, who was immersed in the illusion array, woke up.
As soon as his mind was distracted, the small illusion array that had just been set up disintegrated.
Zhou Yang looked up at the sky and felt the moisture in the air.
After a while, he felt a slight chill on his forehead and blinked uncontrollably.
The next moment, raindrops continued to fall on his head, and he suddenly stood up, followed by heavy raindrops hitting his body one after another.
He hurriedly put away the materials for the formation, jumped across the river, and ran directly into the forest.
Zhou Yang sat cross-legged under a big tree. The thick branches and leaves blocked the rain in the air, and there was still dry soil under the tree.
He was not affected by the rain and continued to set up the formation under the tree.
Occasionally when he encountered a problem, he would close his eyes and think about the textual explanations in Qimen's First Interpretation, and then verify them one by one with the formations he had set up.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that Zhou Yang's eyes lit up with joy, it was finally done!
The open space under the tree originally had many pebbles and some lush green grass, but now it was empty, with only a small patch of light mist.
After a while, Zhou Yang shook his head again and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Because when his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the small illusion array, he rediscovered everything before it.
And when his consciousness was withdrawn again, what appeared in front of him was still a small piece of mist.
The formation was successful, but it could not block the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators at the peak of the Lingtai.
Depending on the situation, it is estimated that it can limit the spiritual consciousness of cultivators in the middle stage of Lingtai at most, and can be seen through at higher levels.
But this is already very good for Zhou Yang. He has not been exposed to formations for a long time, and it is already a big improvement to be able to deploy protective formations and small magic formations.
The heavy rain continued for two hours, and the area under the tree that was not wet became less and less. At the end, there was only a small area left, and a few drops of rain fell from time to time above the head.
Zhou Yang sat cross-legged, pondering over and over again the contents of Qi Men's First Interpretation. When he thought of the wonderful points, he casually drew shapes on the ground.
As time went by, the rain gradually became lighter, but the branches and leaves of the big tree also reached the limit of endurance. Instead, it rained more than before, making Zhou Yang wet all over.
Waves of coolness interrupted Zhou Yang's thoughts again, and he had to find a bigger tree for shelter.
Suddenly, a shrill wail came from the forest, abruptly breaking the silence of the forest.
Zhou Yang was startled. Red God was in hand instantly and he was on full alert.
The wailing sound went from far to near, which made people's hair stand on end. It became more and more harsh, affecting Zhou Yang's consciousness, greatly weakening his detection range.
"Ah, uh uh uh..." After a while, the syllables of the voice were clearly heard. It was neither male nor female, and it was full of sorrow and sorrow. It seemed that there was a great injustice. Zhou Yang's spine went cold when he heard it.
"Ah..." Suddenly, another person's miserable howl came from the distance, and the sound seemed to be running towards him.
In the quiet and dark forest, first there was the wailing sound from yesterday night, and then there were the screams of humans. Both of these sounds were very frightening. If you were timid, you would have been frightened out of your mind.
Zhou Yang was also frightened. With the howls and screams, could something terrible happen in the forest?
The hand holding his sword was stained with sweat.
After dozens of breaths, a figure gradually appeared in his sight. The figure was completely red, and red liquid fell on the ground from time to time. He stumbled all the way, screaming from time to time.
"Help...life" As we got closer, the figure actually made a weak voice. It was actually a person!
The man also saw Zhou Yang, but he was exhausted and fell to the ground. At the same time, he spat out two words intermittently.
At this time, Zhou Yang finally saw the person coming clearly. It was not accurate to say that he was a person, because the person had no skin at all, and was covered in blood from head to toe. His facial features could not be seen clearly, or in other words, there were no facial features at all. It was very scary. .
"This!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but be horrified after taking a closer look. It was indeed a person, but a person whose skin had been skinned!
Peeling off a person's skin completely and keeping them alive is a terrifying method!
Zhou Yang raised his sword and looked around, trying his best to explore the distance with his spiritual consciousness, but no other figures were found, and the wailing sound gradually faded away.
He leaned down and stared at the bloody man who fell to the ground for a while. The man's whole body was blood red, his two eyes were long gone, and his scalp had been peeled off.
He calmed down and tried to ask: "You, who are you?"
The bloody man's mouth was moving and his voice was very weak. It seemed that he had lost too much blood and was dying.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Yang took out the Blood Transforming Pill and the Qi-Building Pill, and said to the man: "Open your mouth!"
Although the man didn't know what Zhou Yang wanted to do, he still struggled to open his two blood-red lips, revealing a row of bloody white teeth.
