"Is this...the entrance to the passage?"
Zhang Yan stopped at the edge of a hole that was more than five feet in diameter and pointed straight down. He did not turn his head, but his words were asking Li Dianchuan on the side.
"Yes, senior. Although I have never been to the passage here, but all the passages look similar. If you follow it down, you can reach the middle layer of the ruins.
But senior, at this time, there is only less than half a month until the ruins of the house can be reopened. The entry and exit window is only three days. If you go down now, I'm afraid you won't be able to explore very far. And it’s not okay to be alone. "
If it had been earlier, Li Dianchuan would have suggested that the senior Jinxian Changshi in his mind should explore the middle layer. But now we have spent too much time on the shallow surface. If we go in again, we will no longer be able to catch up with the Jinxian team in Mingyue Valley, and we won't be able to go far at all. The scope and risk for exploration are inappropriate.
Zhang Yan nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Zhang Yan stood on the edge of the passage and looked down into the pit. It's said to be a passage, but the view inside is dark and blocked only a few feet down. My spiritual mind went down, and I soon discovered with a strange expression that there was no space shuttle structure like the space rules below, nor did I explore it to the bottom. It was as if this passage had no end.
You must know that Zhang Yan's spiritual thoughts at this time can easily extend tens of thousands of miles, and it is not difficult to wrap up an entire world the size of the Wild Sky Territory. Even though the Sword Tomb ruins were not suitable for spiritual expansion, the tens of thousands of miles of straight distance still did not allow Zhang Yan to explore the bottom of this passage. This is weird and doesn't follow normal logic.
Although his spiritual sense did not explore it to the end, Zhang Yan understood one thing: it was not that the passage was infinitely deep, but that his spiritual sense was not qualified to explore the structure of this passage. That is a mystery that Zhang Yan's current ability cannot touch.
Zhang Yan will not feel "incompetent" because of this. This place was originally the place where Saint Tongtian formed a formation to fight the fate of the other four saints for the final battle. The main force here is the Saint, the Daluo Jinxian is just a subordinate, and the Jinxian can't even get the upper hand. It would be good if he, who is attached to the talisman soldiers in the early stage of the Celestial Realm, can survive here without any difficulty. Trying to figure out all the mysterious things here is just nonsense.
But the sword spirit in Zhang Yan's Yuanshen didn't care about the passage. It guided Zhang Yan to here without stopping, but asked Zhang Yan to go down. It seems there is another harvest down there.
Zhang Yan naturally figured it out when he got here.
The sword spirit in Yuanshen has been put together completely. Even though there is still a long way to go before the complete reshaping in Zhang Yan’s mind. What else could it be that could allow the sword soul to continue to guide and remain in the middle layer of the sword tomb? It must be the soul of another killing sword that Zhang Yan had thought about before.
It's like a staircase, going up step by step. When you reach one floor and turn a corner, there are new steps leading to another floor.
However, Zhang Yan did not directly follow the instructions as before.
Unless necessary, everything else needs to be done according to one's ability.
The middle layer of the ruins is usually filled with golden immortals who are exploring in groups. The danger inside is definitely not comparable to a place like the Earthly Fairyland on the surface.
Just the energy creature that is mentioned repeatedly, which is similar to a demon and can summon sword intent to form a storm, is definitely not simple.
Of course, Zhang Yan can rely on the "Sphere" to deal with pure energy creatures. He also has means of resisting the sword intent far beyond his realm. But there is one thing that Zhang Yan cannot avoid, that is, he cannot guarantee that everything will go according to his guess. Once there is a problem with the guess, for example, the "ball" cannot deal with the energy creatures in the middle layer like it can swallow other energies. What will happen to Zhang Yan?
It is equivalent to Zhang Yan needing to fight with his life.
If there is no way out, or if he must take risks, Zhang Yan will not back down. Just like when he was a soldier on Yubei Mountain, when did he not risk his life to survive?
But it's not desperate at all right now.
Even if there really is another killing sword in the middle layer of the ruins. Although Zhang Yan is interested now, he also understands that he must exercise restraint at this time.
"I can't go there. Wait until next time."
This sentence was what Zhang Yan said in his heart to the restless sword spirit in his soul. Even if such a spiritual thing cannot communicate smoothly, the consciousness level should still be able to understand it. Just like before, even though it didn't like Zhang Yan's talisman soldiers at this time, it didn't mess around to destroy it.
Sure enough, after Zhang Yan said this in his heart, the sword spirit in Yuanshen gradually stopped agitating. He stopped moving and returned to his original "honest" appearance.
"Senior, are you really planning to go down now?" Li Dianchuan frowned slightly when he saw Senior Changshi standing next to him at the entrance of the passage, looking at the bottomless darkness below without saying a word. He was still a little worried and had to try to persuade him again. After all, it’s really not worth the risk of going down to take a look and then coming back.
Of course, if Zhang Yan insisted on going down, Li Dianchuan would not say anything more.
Along the way, it seemed to Li Dianchuan that Senior Changshi did not behave really crazy and randomly. On the contrary, there is an unexpected "familiar familiarity" with this place. It's more like "knowing it well" as he said before.
"Let's go and walk around. Let's go wherever there are more people, so we can collect some more gold foil." Zhang Yan shook his head, took one last look at the passage, and then turned around and left. But from a distance, several immortals who seemed to be passing by saw the actions of Zhang Yan and Li Dianchuan in their eyes. Then leave quickly.
Zhang Yan actually noticed that there were people around, but he didn't pay any attention to the immortals who were already exploring around the passage here. What's more, those people are also members of the Chaos Sect, so there is no need to act evil.
The two of them walked away, towards a small sword pit that they had passed by before but did not stop. There were magic circle traps on the road, and Zhang Yan didn't miss any of them. This sweeping move made Li Dianchuan who was following him dumbfounded. Although he had seen Zhang Yan break through traps effortlessly before, he had always thought that Zhang Yan was "very knowledgeable and accomplished" about magic circles. Looking at this sweeping posture now, the word "monster" is more appropriate to describe it.
Just above the heads of Zhang Yan and Li Dianchuan, Song Shiyu and Xiu Wenqi, hidden in the chaotic gaps in the ruins space, were also amazed.
"To be honest. The tricks hidden in this feldspar are really eye-catching! Why is he so familiar with the magic circle at the ruins? There are almost no traps that can stop him. Others are walking on thin ice in front of him. It's as simple as picking up something. Gee, such a character is indeed worth paying attention to.
However, trouble seems to be coming for him. "
As Xiu Wenqi spoke, he reminded Song Shiyu beside him that an encirclement in the distance seemed to be taking shape, and the target should be the feldspar in the center.
