After leaving the circular platform, behind the stone door of the staircase lay a hidden formation eye that made Qianjizi suddenly enlightened. From the moment he entered until now, he had been guided all along. However, as the highly respected Martial Saint Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, he was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
Even though the stone, which might be a Supreme Treasure belonging to the Divination Master, emitted an alluring glow, Qianjizi remained steadfast in his principles and did not intend to risk damaging the formation eye for such a Supreme Treasure.
Until the stone released Azure Mist!
"Is there really an Underworld? How is this possible? How can it be!" Qianjizi stared at the vividly blue mist, disbelief evident on his face as he repeated his words.
The Underworld was a vague legend to the human realm, but what Qianjizi did not know was that within this Underground Palace, the reality of the Underworld and the human realm had long been terrifyingly revealed. The only thing Qianjizi could not understand was why this stone emitted light from the Underworld.
The purple aura represented Purple Qi Comes from the East, as well as the Divination Master's teachings. But Azure Mist had no clear origin; did it merely signify the reality of the Underworld?
"It's not that simple. According to the Divination Master’s texts, Azure Mist not only reveals the connection between the Underworld and the Ground but also exposes a great omen! The mist signifies that there are spirits from the Underworld; danger lurks within!" Qianjizi recalled this passage in his mind, and immediately felt unwell.
"What exactly is this omen?" Confused and trapped in this lightless Underground Palace, he had completely lost his previous resolve. His mind became increasingly unclear as more and more troubling questions tangled in his thoughts, causing him great pain.
"Why not try picking it up? Perhaps it can unravel all your confusion!" At that moment, an ethereal voice echoed in Qianjizi's mind.
Startled, Qianjizi's face turned pale as he shouted, "Who! Who are you! Who is speaking?"
"It doesn't matter who I am; what matters is whether you know what you should do right now."
"Shameless brat! You must be the one who has cast a spell on me! Disturbing my mind and trying to confuse me—what a delusion!" As a wise man from Xuanwu Realm, even though his mind was hazy, Qianjizi still held firm to his principles and refused to fall into a trap.
However, the ethereal voice did not disappear due to his resistance; instead, it continued to coax him gently. "Is it wise to make rash judgments? What do you think will happen if you take that stone?"
"Hmph! There must be something sinister at play here. You have schemed to lure me to this place; once I take that stone and disrupt this formation eye, won't you be free to roam as you please? Hmph! Don't take me for an idiot!"
"Oh? You haven't even seen me; how do you know I'm a demon? Perhaps I am a good person who has been trapped here for unavoidable reasons. If you take the stone, you could free me. Why wouldn't you want to perform such a simple act of kindness?"
Hearing these words made Qianjizi pause for a moment. Indeed, he had never interacted with this voice in his mind before; on what basis could he make such judgments? Just as he thought this, he shook his head vigorously, feeling increasingly confused!
"You! You can't deceive the Old Man! The Old Man will not fall for your tricks!"
"Heh heh, it seems you are not an easy person to convince. Very well, since you are unwilling to pick up that stone, just watch. I want to see how long you can wait. When your companions over there are all dead, you will lose patience, won't you?"
"What? What are you saying!" Qianjizi was suddenly startled, cold sweat breaking out as he realized that this voice seemed to know everything happening here! Such a person was truly too strange! Could he be invisible?
"There's no need to guess about me. As you said, I am a poor soul trapped here. My Divine Consciousness wanders in this space, so I can see things you cannot. Your companions over there are currently facing the greatest crisis; you probably can't imagine what they are encountering!"
"You, don't speak ominously! If they were really in danger, the Old Man would definitely hear it!" Qianjizi replied suspiciously.
"Is that so? You are too arrogant. Do you think you can penetrate that wall which cannot be broken and hear what is happening on the other side? You are mistaken. That wall is called indifference. Do you understand what indifference means? It's like how you can clearly save them now but choose to ignore it!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Qianjizi's eyes widened, his heart growing more anxious. In truth, he had already begun to believe what the other party said because ever since that wall blocked both exits, his unease had surged like a raging river!
"This mechanism was triggered by you. In fact, if you wanted to, you could eliminate it at any time; the method is right in front of your eyes, yet you refuse to believe!"
"Are you saying that as long as the Old Man takes this stone and destroys the eye of the formation here, it will also destroy the mechanism over there?" Qianjizi calmed down and began to analyze the truth behind it!
"Exactly, these two are the same. You need not worry about what consequences may arise from destroying the eye of the formation because at least you can save your companions right now, can't you?"
"What consequences will there be?" Qianjizi narrowed his eyes; this was a question he could not overlook!
"This is not important. If releasing me poses a huge threat to you, then you can disregard your companions' lives. Just remember that blood has already been spilled over there; if you don't make a decision quickly, it may be too late."
"You! Don't try to deceive the Old Man!" Qianjizi glared angrily, feeling increasingly impatient. His gaze swept across the stairs, sensing the aura on the other side of that wall of indifference which could not be perceived. On one hand, he shifted his focus back to that mysterious stone in the center of the room!
"Life and death hang in the balance; it's up to you how to choose. I've given you enough reminders; the rest is for you to ponder slowly. Lastly, I want to tell you that no matter how you choose, the outcome will not change; it's just a matter of time—only a matter of time—heh heh heh..."
The ethereal voice laughed until it gradually faded away in this space. Qianjizi was drenched in sweat, a deep sense of helplessness and weakness filling his body and mind. He collapsed onto the ground, never having felt that making a decision could be so difficult!
Just like that stone; clearly wanting to possess it but unable to touch it...
"Why can't I touch it? Perhaps he is right; this is a gamble. I cannot watch my companions die, not even if there is a one in ten thousand chance. I cannot give up! Yes! That's right! I will eventually pick up this stone! It's just a matter of time!"
Suddenly, Qianjizi seemed to be possessed, repeatedly murmuring the last few words, then slowly walked towards the stone. He trembled as he reached out with both hands...
"Thud!" A soft sound echoed as the stone moved from its original place. Azure Mist suddenly dissipated, and the space remained unchanged. However, Qianjizi felt an inexplicable tremor deep within the Underground Palace, and he realized he had made an incredibly poor choice...
"Regardless, Old Man did his best; Old Man was only trying to save his fellow disciples!"
...
"Hehehe, a fleeting dream, a dream lasting Ten Thousand Years! I have waited for this day for Ten Thousand Years, and finally, I can be liberated!" In the Mural World, Haotian Shura True Monarch's Avatar let out a heartfelt shout!
At the same time, Zhu Feng and others who were battling the strange blood-red serpent had not managed to kick down the stone door, but the wall of indifference suddenly collapsed, revealing the exit ahead. The group was filled with joy upon discovering Qianjizi standing oddly on the other side!
"Old Master! How is it? Can you still get through over there?" Zhu Feng shouted excitedly. On one hand, he was relieved to see his fellow disciple unharmed; on the other hand, it seemed that the blood-red serpent above them had also ceased its assault, bringing hope!
Seeing the bloodshed on the ground ahead, Qianjizi stood in a daze. The stone he held behind him was quietly stored in his Storage Ring. Then he shook his head and said, "No!" As soon as he spoke, to avoid revealing anything, he dashed across to the other side and began to eliminate the remaining serpent flow!
"You arrived just in time! Thankfully that wall opened up; otherwise, Old Man would have been really worried about you. By the way, is that path blocked?" Zhu Feng hurriedly asked!
Liao Fan and others did not dare to hesitate; they ruthlessly slaughtered the dispersing serpent flow while keeping an eye on Qianjizi. They were all eager to know what had happened after that wall appeared!
Regardless of anything else, seeing Qianjizi unscathed and noticing that no serpents emerged from the circular hole on the other side raised suspicions!
Qianjizi wore a complex expression and forced a smile as he said, "It's blocked. I'm fine; I didn't encounter anything like what you faced over there!"
"That's good! With you here, I can rest easy!" Zhu Feng sighed in relief!
At that moment, Wang Wei suddenly shouted excitedly, "Senior, the stone door over here has been breached!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention was drawn to the shattered pieces of that stone door. With this door breached, they finally opened a path for survival! At the same time, the blood-red serpent flow on the ground disappeared completely. Leading the group, Qianjizi took everyone away from this cursed place...
No one noticed that a ghostly figure flashed inside the staircase behind them.
"Ha ha ha, old ghost is lucky; you all didn't die this time. Well, if you died too quickly, wouldn't that be no fun at all?" Black Face revealed a terrifying and sinister face, laughing wickedly.
He flapped his wings behind him, preparing to continue the pursuit. Next time, he would personally take action to deal with these damned humans...
...
"Don't worry about whether the last formation eye has gone wrong! Just tell me now! Can it be saved?" Ye Feng steadied his mind, trying hard to calm himself. Although the heart-wrenching roars of giants echoed in his ears, looking at the solid Plate beneath his feet made him feel less afraid.
He just didn't know how long this sealed Plate could hold after the formation eye was destroyed.
The Flying Spirit Lion also regained its composure and said angrily, "I can sense that the damned one has escaped from the Mural World. All Four Great Formation Eyes have been destroyed; there's no escape now. The central seal before us is our last line of defense! We must hold it!"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he knew this too; the problem was how to hold it.
The Flying Spirit Lion quickly provided an answer, urgently shouting, "No matter what, channel the greatest power into this Sealing Plate! Strive to suppress the Ancient Demon God!"
