After leaving the formation, Shi Chishang reappeared in the Cave of Time. Feeling the strong power of time around him, he couldn't help but frown and took out the compass from the soul palace.
The reason why he came in was all because of this compass. However, after struggling for a long time, Yu Lewei and others were all separated from him. Now he didn't know if it was safe. He himself also experienced a battle, but this dead compass still had no trace. The reaction was as if the weapon spirit had fallen into a deep sleep again.
Staring at the compass, Shi Chishang said coldly: "What on earth do you want me to come in for?"
After waiting for a while, he saw that there was no movement in the compass, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "If you don't have any advice, wait until I find the senior sister and the others, and then turn around and go out."
Buzz! As if feeling Shi Chishang's anger, the compass finally moved, but the compass spirit did not directly send any reply. Instead, it trembled slightly in his hand and slowly absorbed the power of time around him.
Seeing this scene, Shi Chi Shang was startled, but his current state of mind was far from what it was back then. Although he was anxious, he suppressed his temper and waited quietly.
After more than ten minutes, the compass spirit seemed to have absorbed a certain amount of time power. Suddenly, a soft halo of light filled the surface of the earth, rising slowly, and finally turned into an arrow, pointing to the distant mountain. .
Turning his head and looking at the mountains, Shi Chishang frowned and said, "What do you mean? You want me to come over?"
The compass trembled again, but the arrow that had just condensed the halo seemed to have spent all its energy. Not only did the arrow dissipate in an instant, but the compass itself also stopped moving, and it just slowly continued to absorb the power of time.
Staring at the compass, Shi Chishang was in a state of confusion. As his cultivation deepened, he gradually realized that the compass' weapon spirit must have suffered heavy losses, and there were no less than ten seals on it, making it impossible for the weapon spirit to communicate with the outside world most of the time. Deliver the message.
After pondering for a moment, Shi Chishang said in a deep voice: "Forget it, I will trust you again." After saying that, he took the Broken Frost Sword, Niu Sanshan, and Ma Hanxue back to the soul palace, held the compass in one hand, and flapped his wings toward Flying in the direction the compass just pointed.
Ghost Dao is good at controlling souls, not to mention Shi Chishang who created the Soul Dao. Although he does not specialize in the secret art of soul control, with his current state, when he just killed those Taoist masters, he could also see from their broken souls Got some information.
He already knew that this ruins was called the Cave of Time, and it was the top cave in Qingcheng Mountain that had not been entered for decades. Therefore, except for the large formation that separated yin and yang at the entrance, there was no arrangement of the Dao Sect inside.
After knowing this, he was temporarily relieved. If there was no deliberate ambush by the Taoist sect, with the strength of Yu Lewei and others, as long as they were not reckless, it would not be too dangerous.
Thinking of this, Shi Chishang gradually calmed down the anxiety in his heart, but his flying speed still did not slow down, flying towards the mountains with lightning speed.
The power of time is everywhere in the Cave of Time, so even with a watch, Shi Chishang cannot judge the time.
He didn't know how long he had been flying, but Shi Chishang suddenly felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and then his eyes suddenly opened up. He had actually appeared at the foot of the sky-reaching mountain. In front of him was an extremely narrow cableway, leading straight to the sky. A cave entrance at the foot of the mountain.
However, he was not the only one here, there were dozens of cultivators. Regarding his appearance, except for a few Taoist monks whose expressions changed slightly, everyone else glanced at him and turned back, continuing to watch the ropeway.
Shi Chishang glanced at the Taoists and saw that they were from Qiyun Mountain, and Qiyunshan and Ghost Dao had never had any grudges, so he ignored them and let the Taoists whose cultivation had not reached the fusion stage relax. tone.
Shi Chishang stood behind the crowd and watched for a moment, finally discovering the reason why everyone gathered here.
There is a top-level formation outside this Tongtian Mountain, which guides the rich power of time in the cave and forms a time-chaotic layer outside the mountain wall. Any monk who breaks in will be eroded by the power of time, thus accelerating aging. .
This is not the aging of the White Bone Cave Assessment Competition back then. At that time, it was just the power of death that forcibly devoured life, but now it is the aging that is actually carried out at the speed of time. The former can be compensated by a large amount of life, and the latter It can only be restored by reversing time.
But among the group of people coming in now, or the entire human world, there are very few practitioners below the twelfth level who have methods similar to the origin of time.
In other words, if you want to forcefully pass through this layer of time chaos, no one in the cave can do it now.
The only thing that can be entered is the ropeway in front. However, with his soul thought, Shi Chishang senses that the ropeway is full of infinite restrictions. Unless the restrictions can be resolved or resisted, ordinary monks will be forced out of the ropeway if they go up. , falling into the chaotic layer next to it.
Shi Chishang observed for a long time, then suddenly patted the shoulder of the person next to him and asked: "Brother, let me ask, has anyone gone in before?"
The man was a famous emperor-level warrior. Hearing this, he was stunned and nodded: "Yes, four people went in."
Shi Chishang's heart trembled and he asked, "Who is it?"
"There are two men and one woman I don't recognize, and there is another person who seems to be the eldest lady of the Cao family in Laoshan." The man replied.
Hearing that Cao Hong was safe, Shi Chishang felt relieved, then nodded to the man in thanks and walked towards the ropeway.
The cultivators gathered here were all forced to stay in place to study due to the restrictions on the ropeway. When they saw Shi Chi Shang suddenly coming out of the crowd, they all became energetic and turned around to watch.
When Shi Chishang walked to the ropeway, he gathered his thoughts and explored the ropeway carefully for a moment. He suddenly nodded and walked straight onto the ropeway.
Seeing him walking straight in, the crowd behind him couldn't help but hold their breath and stared at Shi Chi Shang carefully.
One step, two steps, three steps, in just a short moment, Shi Chishang walked directly along the ropeway for more than ten meters, and judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was not affected by the restriction at all.
"What a shame!" A Taoist from Qi Yunshan couldn't help but exclaimed.
But no one knew at all that the reason why Shi Chishang could walk along the ropeway calmly and freely was all because of the compass he held in his left hand.
Since arriving at the foot of the mountain, for some reason, as if stimulated by the majestic power of time here, there was a faint wave of excitement in the compass. And the moment Chi Shang stepped into the ropeway, the compass was even more excited. The hungry posture crazily devoured the power of time around him.
The numerous restrictions on the ropeway were all invisible in front of the compass. As Shi Chishang was allowed to move slowly, only the surging power of time kept coming and submerged into the compass.
In just half a minute, Shi Chishang had passed the entire cableway, his figure gradually disappeared into the thick fog transformed by the power of time, and entered the cave at the end of the cableway.
Just walking into the cave entrance, Shi Chishang could already feel the stronger power of time, but with the compass in hand, he didn't worry about being affected and just walked slowly along the tunnel.
After a while, Shi Chishang had arrived at the end of the tunnel. There was a stone tablet. At this time, four people were sitting or standing in front of the stone tablet, as if they were comprehending the mystery on the stone tablet.
Shi Chishang glanced around and saw that the four people were Zhong Wudi, Cao Hong, Zheng Duobao, and Shi Yirui.
Zhong Wudi heard the footsteps behind him and looked back subconsciously. When he saw it was Shi Chi Shang, his eyes lit up with joy and he greeted, "Chi Shang."
Cao Hong and the others were studying the stone tablet. They all turned around when they heard the words. When they saw Shi Chi Shanghou, they all had smiles on their faces. Shi Yirui even waved his hand with a smile: "Old Shi, you are indeed still alive!"
Shi Chishang's feet seemed to be shaken, and he almost stumbled, and he hummed: "Do you really want me to die?"
"Bah, bah!" Shi Yirui put his hands on his hips and scolded with a smile, "This scourge will last for thousands of years. How can you, a scourge like you, have to live for ten thousand years? It's so easy to die!"
Shi Chishang snorted twice, walked to the stone tablet, and asked, "What's going on? Where's the senior sister?"
"I don't know," Cao Hong's face darkened slightly when he talked about Yu Lewei, and he said softly, "After you were captured into that formation, we were about to rush over when we were hit by a ray of light, and then we were moved to a different place. Somewhere, Lewei and the others were also separated from us."
Zhong Wudi said in a deep voice: "The power of time here is so strong that I can't find you at all, so I decided to come here first. If you are okay, you will definitely come here to meet us."
Shi Chishang smiled and nodded, then looked at the stone tablet and asked, "What is this?"
"You'll know just by touching it with your mind." Zhong Wudi raised his thick eyebrows, as if he was a little unhappy.
Shi Chishang was curious and spread his soul thoughts upwards. When he touched the stone tablet, his mind suddenly swayed, and a vast and boundless thought, as endless as the heaven and earth, suddenly appeared in his soul palace.
After a long while, Shi Chi Shang took a few steps back as if waking up from a dream, and stared at the stone tablet in shock: "Is the law of time imprinted on it?"
"Yes," Zhong Wudi said with dissatisfaction on his face, "This is bullying warriors who cannot condense their spiritual consciousness."
Cao Hong smiled, held his arm, and said softly: "It's okay, without spiritual consciousness, you are invincible."
Faced with these two people throwing shit, Shi Chishang held his forehead and sighed: "But it doesn't feel complete."
"This should just be an assessment," Zheng Duobao touched his chin and said hesitantly, "The same goes for the ropeway just now. I feel like the owner of this winter must have left some inheritance here, so he set up these tests."
"Why inheritance?" Shi Yirui curled his lips and deliberately retorted, "Maybe he was afraid that someone would come in and take away the treasures he left behind, so he deliberately set up these blockades."
"If it weren't for inheritance, then the cableway and the stone tablet would not be so peaceful," Shi Chishang smiled and explained, "The law of time is so terrifying. This person can occupy the cave sky and leave this seat behind." Mountains certainly don’t lack means of killing, but on our way here, except for the time layers outside the mountain wall, there is no direct killing restriction.”
Zhong Wudi nodded: "The inheritance should be good. It seems that if you want to go further, you need to understand the mystery of the law of time on the stone tablet first."
"Did you have any clue before?" Shi Chishang asked.
Shaking his head, Cao Hong said angrily: "No!"
Seeing Shi Yirui and Zheng Duobao also shaking their heads, Shi Chishang pondered for a moment, came to sit cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, his soul thoughts rose, and he slowly understood the law of time on the stone tablet.
Speaking of which, this place is indeed a place of inheritance. The owner of this place was about to undergo a catastrophe. In order to ensure that his own skills were not lost, he left this relic in advance.
The purpose of the peripheral ropeway is to eliminate those with weak cultivation, to prevent weak monks from rashly acquiring the inheritance and being killed instead, thus cutting off their own inheritance.
The stone tablet here is a selection of those who have a certain talent for the origin of time among these masters.
Among the few people who arrived here before Shi Chishang, Shi Yirui himself was not very talented, while Cao Hong was born with sword bones, and Zheng Duobao was very talented in weapon refining. If the inheritance here is related to swordsmanship or weapon refining, then the two People must have already understood it.
As for Zhong Wudi, it is purely unlucky because of his status as a warrior. He cannot condense his spiritual consciousness before the heavenly level. Naturally, he cannot directly comprehend the method of time. He can only rely on his martial arts talent to sense the breath of the stone tablet. In this way, it is no different. It's hard to achieve half the result with twice the effort.
On the contrary, Shi Chishang had extraordinary talents and the blessing of the soul path that could dissolve all dharmas in his body, so he could only sit down and comprehend for a moment, but there was already a hint of spiritual light shining in his heart.
And he was not the only one to comprehend it. The mirror soul seal on the forehead of the soul body was also quietly activated after sensing the magic of time, and spontaneously absorbed the mystery of the magic that reflected in his heart.
About half an hour later, Shi Chishang suddenly opened his eyes. There was an indescribable vastness in his dark eyes, as if they were eternal and present.
At this time, in his soul palace, a brand new Talisman Seal appeared in the Mirror Soul Seal. It was hazy in color, somewhat similar to the Taixu Talisman Seal, but also slightly different.
This is the method of time!
