At this time, Wuji was galloping in one direction at an extremely fast speed. He had just walked out of a hidden cave, holding the two space fragments he had just obtained in his hands. Inside the cave, there lay the corpse of a monk. He died tragically. He apparently died while fighting for space fragments.
Xue Wuji's team had fallen apart in previous conflicts, and now he had to change his original plans. He got a jade slip from the monk's storage bag just now, which recorded the secret passage of the Nine Heavens Star Palace.
Xu Wuji held the map tightly in his hand, with firm eyes, and rushed towards the secret passage of the Nine Heavens Star Palace without hesitation. For him, if this secret passage really existed, it would undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was afraid that someone else would take advantage of this opportunity first.
Therefore, he did not dare to slack off at all along the way, and his speed seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, piercing the sky. He doesn't care about the consumption of spiritual power, he just wants to seize the opportunity.
At this moment, Xu Pingzhi was undoubtedly the most depressed. He holds an innate spiritual treasure, but cannot pose any threat to Yue Shanqiu. After many days of pursuit, he still failed to catch Yue Shanqiu. This stalemate made him deeply anxious. He understood that if he continued to spend like this, he would probably miss the best opportunity to enter the secret passage of the Nine Heavens Star Palace.
Yue Shanqiu felt equally heavy at this time. He fled all the way. Although he was not seriously injured, such continuous escape was not a long-term solution. He knew very well that if he were surrounded by Xu Pingzhi's junior brothers, the consequences would be disastrous.
Yue Shanqiu gritted his teeth and made a decision. He galloped towards the stone forest, determined to use this dangerous stone forest to escape Xu Pingzhi's pursuit.
The stone forest here is an area full of fog and danger, filled with complex enchantment formations. Once you get into it by mistake, it is not easy to get out, and you may even be trapped in it forever. And deep in this stone forest, there are powerful quartz beasts hidden. Even the monks in the transformation stage have no choice but to run away when they encounter them.
Yue Shanqiu was well aware of these dangers, but he still chose this path. He wanted to use the complex terrain of the stone forest and the ecstasy formation to make Xu Pingzhi lose the direction of pursuit, so as to gain a chance for himself.
When Yue Shanqiu came to the stone forest area, he stepped into it without hesitation. This stone forest was full of mystery and danger, but Yue Shanqiu did not back down. He knew that this was the only chance to escape Xu Pingzhi's pursuit.
Xu Pingzhi was wandering on the edge of the stone forest. He knew how dangerous this stone forest was. For a moment, he hesitated, wondering whether he should venture into the stone forest. He worries that once he enters it, he may fall into a maze-like predicament and may never be able to escape.
The hesitant Xu Pingzhi finally decided to give up the idea of entering the stone forest. However, he was still a little unwilling. Therefore, he chose to hide near the stone forest, just in case Yue Shanqiu hid at the edge of the stone forest just to get rid of him, without really going deep into it.
Xu Pingzhi's eyes were firm and sharp. He stared in the direction of the stone forest in case Yue Shanqiu suddenly appeared. He knew that once Yue Shanqiu emerged from the stone forest, he must take immediate action to seize this rare opportunity.
Xu Pingzhi lurked near the stone forest for several days. There was silence around him, as if time had stopped at this moment. Apart from his breathing and the rustle of the stones in the breeze, no other sound broke the silence. He stared in the direction of the stone forest with all his concentration, not daring to relax at all.
This quiet atmosphere made Xu Pingzhi feel inexplicably depressed, as if there was an ominous atmosphere in the air. An uneasiness surged in his heart, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. He held the thing in his hand tightly, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.
However, no matter how alert he was, there was still silence around him. This made him start to doubt his judgment. Could it be that Yue Shanqiu had left this area? Or is he still waiting for an opportunity in the stone forest? Xu Pingzhi's heart was full of confusion and anxiety, and he needed to make a decision to break the deadlock.
In the end, Xu Pingzhi's patience was exhausted. He decided to give up and continue waiting near the stone forest, thinking that the possibility of Yue Shanqiu coming out alive after entering the stone forest was very low. After all, this stone forest is full of all kinds of unknown dangers, and even monks in the transformation stage may not be able to leave safely.
Therefore, Xu Pingzhi decided not to worry about Yue Shanqiu's traces anymore, and instead rushed towards the secret passage of Jiutian Star Palace. He knew in his heart that even if he went into the stone forest, it would not help. When the time came, his master would definitely criticize him too harshly.
Xu Pingzhi knew that the most important thing at the moment was to reach the secret passage of Jiutian Star Palace as soon as possible, join his fellow disciples, and jointly seize this once-in-a-millennium opportunity. He doesn't want to miss this opportunity, because for him, his lifespan is not very long. If he cannot break through in the next time, he can only choose to enter the space crack.
However, Xu Pingzhi did not realize that the moment he left, his junior brothers encountered Xu Wuji. After a fierce battle, Ke Mengtian was unfortunately killed on the spot by Xu Wuji. Although Feng Wuji and Chen Shunzhi successfully escaped, they unfortunately became separated during the escape and could only fight on their own.
Yue Shanqiu did not go deep into the stone forest as Xu Pingzhi guessed. He understood that the danger deep in the stone forest was enough to put him in a desperate situation, so he cautiously wandered around the edge of the stone forest.
However, he did not expect that as soon as he entered the stone forest, he would fall into the trap of the enchantment formation. This formation was clever and concealed, making him mistakenly believe that he was still on the edge of the stone forest, but in fact he had penetrated deep into the stone forest unknowingly.
Yue Shanqiu's heart was filled with confusion and panic. He tried to find a way out, but the surrounding scene became increasingly blurry, as if shrouded in thick fog. He felt that his consciousness gradually became blurred, as if he was being pulled by a mysterious force.
He tried to stay awake and tried to find flaws in the formation, but everything around him became extremely strange and strange. He felt as if he was trapped in an endless maze and could not find the exit.
Deep at the bottom of the cliff, Zhang Tianyi took the lead in finishing the breath adjustment, followed by Li Changsheng and Gu Jianfeng. None of the three people made a sound, but quietly waited for Fairy Fengling to complete her breath adjustment.
However, they did not realize that there was a pair of eyes not far away watching them closely. From the moment Li Changsheng and others came down, a dark shadow followed them all the way to the bottom of the valley.
At this moment, Fairy Fengling finally stood up. Everyone's faces showed joy, because they knew that this stone door was about to open.
Fairy Fengling did not set the Jiutian jade on her own this time, but handed one of the Jiutian jade to Zhang Tianyi. Zhang Tianyi was stunned at first, but in the end he silently accepted the Jiutian Jade.
Li Changsheng was extremely happy at this moment, because the difficulty of inlaying jade stones continued to increase as the process progressed and the spiritual power consumed continued to increase. The last two jade stones were undoubtedly the most challenging. Now, Zhang Tianyi has taken part of the responsibility, which makes him feel relieved.
