Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2160: The Reappearance of the Sunlight

No one expected that someone would get there first.

"Have you encountered other competitors before?" Concubine Anling asked with a frown.

Si Huang frowned, "There should be more than one entrance to this place, but they are far apart and take different routes. I also vaguely sensed that there were traces of other people's activities inside before, but those people's exploration progress is far less than ours, and the location of this entrance has never been exposed."

"I can't see anything unusual nearby. How did Lord Si Huang find out?"

Qin Sang asked, "Did the secret sign you left last time get destroyed?"

"That's right!" Si Huang's expression moved and he nodded slightly.

Qin Sang pondered and said, "From this, we can infer that the other party should not have any insiders in your royal family, but he knows this place very well. He must not have come in by accident, and he must be quite powerful, otherwise he would definitely leave subtle traces."

At this time, everyone else also understood what Qin Sang meant.

The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "So, these people may be our previous competitors. Last time, they may have discovered our father's whereabouts, or calculated the location of this entrance. This time, they rushed in before us and wanted to reap the benefits!"

At least before the two holy land trials, the Si You royal family had begun preparations, overcoming internal difficulties and obstacles bit by bit. This time the preparations were very thorough and there was great hope of success, but someone unexpectedly came to take advantage of the situation. The eldest prince and others were all indignant.

Si Huang remained silent, as if thinking about his last experience, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

"The ferocious beasts outside were most likely left there intentionally," the young master suddenly said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Those people kept the beast alive and didn't fear that it would cause trouble at a critical moment, which meant that they knew someone would clean up the mess later. As long as the other party secretly did something to the beast, they would know that the beast had been killed!

In this way, both sides will be aware of each other's existence, and the secret fight will turn into an open fight!

The only advantage for Si Huang and his men is that their opponents don’t know yet, but they already know that there is a competitor.

Qin Sang had not expected that the situation would become tense before he actually entered. He could not help but frown secretly, thinking that this trip might not be easy, and he didn't know whether he would gain or lose by exchanging a Yanshan Pearl.

The opponent knew that the Si You family had been planning this for a long time and was determined to take it, but he still dared to pull the teeth out of the tiger's mouth. He must have the confidence.

"There's no point in thinking too much, just go in first! I want to see who is asking for his own death!"

Si Huang said in a cold voice, taking the lead and stepping into the tomb passage.

Everyone filed in. The tomb passage was a bit narrow, so they changed their formation. Si Huang led the way in front, Qin Sang and Shao Shi were on the left and right, slightly behind, and the others followed silently at the end.

Since they knew there were opponents inside, they all cast spells to conceal their auras and moved forward cautiously.

The tomb passage is very long, but fortunately it is not winding.

According to Si Huang, in the beginning, the tomb passage was filled with restrictions and it was difficult to move forward. The royal family paid a huge price to overcome all the restrictions and open up the tomb passage.

The tomb passage sloped underground. After walking for a while and approaching the end of the tomb passage, they still did not find any traces, which showed how cautious the opponent was.

A cold air blew towards me.

When they arrived at the end of the tomb passage, they saw a faint light in front of them, which turned out to be a stone door.

The restriction on the stone gate has been cracked by the Siyou royal family, and the opponent can open it without any effort.

Si Huang stepped forward, touched the stone door, sensed it for a moment, confirmed that there was no ambush behind the door, and poured his true energy into it. The stone door gradually became transparent and turned into an invisible door, leading to an unknown place.

Shao Shi and Qin Sang took a step forward and followed Si Huang through the door.

'call! call! call! ’

The wind howled in my ears.

When they passed through the door, they saw not the tomb passage, but a void with black fog flowing around them. The black fog flowed very fast, like a black river, flowing endlessly to an unknown area deep in the void.

Qin Sang turned around and saw the endless black fog still flowing over and washing over them.

They were in the center of the foggy river and felt a powerful force pushing them downstream. If they did not want to be swept away, they had to circulate their true energy to resist the impact.

At the same time, Qin Sang also sensed a kind of cold and yin force that was everywhere and pervasive. Fortunately, he was also a physical cultivator and could resist the invasion of the cold and yin force by mobilizing his own qi and blood.

The young master was not so relaxed. He sacrificed a protective treasure and a layer of light shield appeared around him.

These mists look somewhat similar to the foul air in Niehe River, but they are not as chaotic and violent.

'Ugh! Uh-huh! '

The eldest prince and others showed up and used self-defense measures.

Suspended in the center of the foggy river, Qin Sang concentrated and sensed something, and was surprised to find that the tomb passage they had entered seemed to have disappeared and he could not sense anything.

"The entrance appears once in a while, but there are only very slight fluctuations, which can be easily overlooked. Over the years, we have only found this one entrance. Fortunately, the entrance will not move. Remember this location. If you encounter an accident later, you can return here and leave from here," said Si Huang.

"Will there be any changes near the entrance?" Qin Sang asked.

Bound by the Taixu Golden Book, Si Huang could not lie to Qin Sang about the information here. "The entrance will not change, but this foggy river will change. We must go downstream, and when we return, we must go upstream. As time goes by, the flow speed becomes faster and faster, and the thrust becomes stronger and stronger. However, we are in the river and can sense the change in thrust and retreat in time."

Qin Sang understood that this was equivalent to a time limit. Once the thrust became so strong that they could not resist it, they would sink here, and no one knew what would happen next.

Now there are unknown competitors, which makes it even more difficult.

"There is still no trace of those people," said the young master.

Being in the foggy river, you cannot see any boundaries up, down, left, or right. The black "river water" limits your vision and perception. All you can see downstream is darkness. It is still unclear who the opponent is.

At this moment, everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked behind them, only to see a red light appear in the river.

The light spots rose and fell, floating towards them.

When they got closer, they found that there was a red crystal stone wrapped in the red light.

"It's a heavy rose crystal, Ge'er, take it out," Si Huang ordered.

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince. He was preparing to refine a spiritual treasure, but was short of several spiritual objects. Heavy Rose Crystal was one of them. Unexpectedly, he encountered it here.

His brows flashed, and he immediately summoned a companion beast.

This beast looked like a fox, the size of a mouse, and its tail was several times longer than its body. The companion beast turned around, flicked its long tail, and shot towards the red light.

'Whoosh! '

The long tail penetrated the red light and easily touched the heavy rose crystal. But when the tail wrapped around the crystal and pulled it up, something unexpected happened.

A red light suddenly burst out, and the eldest prince sensed an extremely sharp wave contained in the red light, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Once hit by this force, the companion beast will be beheaded!

Seeing this, no one, including the Emperor, intervened, believing that the eldest prince could handle it.

The eldest prince roared, and a precious bell appeared in the sky above the red light. The precious bell fell heavily, and the red light suddenly stagnated.

Taking this opportunity, the companion beast stretched its long tail and dragged the heavy rose crystal out of the red light, hugged it tightly, and fled back to the eldest prince in a wisp of smoke. The heavy rose crystal was taken away, and the red light gave up the pursuit, flickered a few times, and gradually dissipated.

Si Huang then began to explain, "When walking here, you will occasionally see similar light balls of different colors. Some of them contain a treasure, and some may be a small secret realm, but there are also traps. In my experience, black and white ones are mostly traps, so it is best to avoid them. You can give other colored light balls a try. However, the enemy is nearby, and before you succeed, I hope you can resist the temptation."

Everyone agreed.

The guest stared at the upper reaches of the Mist River and whispered, "So many treasures are scattered here, like pieces of debris. Could it be that there is a broken secret cave in the upper reaches?"

"Maybe. We tried before, but we couldn't reach the upper reaches until the force of the fog river exceeded the limit."

Si Huang shook his head, then retracted his true energy, allowing the mist to push him downstream. With the help of the mist river's own thrust, everyone moved very quickly without much effort.

Soon, they encountered a second ball of light, which was black in color.

Everyone remembered Si Huang's words and deliberately kept a distance from the ball of light, for fear of falling into a trap.

Qin Sang secretly activated his divine power of the Third Eye, but could only see a mass of darkness. However, he had a vague feeling that he was being spied on, which made him feel uncomfortable. When he looked away, the feeling disappeared.

After this experience, Qin Sang no longer dared to underestimate these balls of light. Not every one of them could be taken away as easily as the heavy rose crystal.

Next, they encountered more balls of light, but none of them took action.

After an incense stick of time, Si Huang, who had been drifting along the foggy river, paused for a moment and reminded, "The first ancient formation is ahead."

Qin Sang immediately felt the change in thrust, his body sank suddenly, and a waterfall seemed to appear in the foggy river.

‘Wow! ’

Everyone fell down quickly, circulated their true energy, and steady themselves, only to see countless black stones floating in front of them.

The stones are all the same size and shape, the only difference is the pattern on the surface, which is obviously a special rune.

The stones are distributed in an orderly manner, forming a spiritual array.

Seeing the stone formation, Si Huang's face darkened. He saw that several stones in front of them were covered with cracks and were seriously damaged. The royal family had figured out this stone formation. Before leaving last time, they changed the formation of the stone formation and blocked the entrance.

The stone formation was obviously destroyed by the people in front. The other party could have used gentler means. They must have known that there were pursuers behind them and no longer hid.

Si Huang snorted coldly and waved his hand. The nearby stones began to flow and a mysterious light flowed between the stones.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ’

Rocks fly through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the stone formation changed drastically, and a passage suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The power of the stone formation could not block the fog river, and they passed through the formation, still enduring the scouring of the fog river.

Everyone quickly passed through the stone formation, but ahead was another ancient formation blocking the way.

The naked eye can only see a dazzling light curtain, but in fact there is another world inside the light curtain.

This formation was also cracked by the Si You family. It was not as easy to move as the stone formation. The gap that was previously opened was still there, and the opponent could pass through it and pass through the formation without any effort.

The previous efforts of the Si You royal family were just a favor to others.

The eldest prince and others were very angry and vowed to make those people pay the price once they found them.

Passing through the gap, everyone came to the third ancient formation, and the arrangement of Si You’s royal family was also destroyed.

Just as they were about to enter the third ancient formation, Qin Sang suddenly felt something strange.

He paused and noticed that the expressions of Si Huang and Shao Shi had changed.

He vaguely sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from the depths of the foggy river, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

At this moment, everyone had similar feelings, and it was not an illusion.

"Husband, what is this?" Concubine Anling asked in a low voice.

Si Huang shook his head slightly.

Seeing that even Si Huang didn't know the whole story, everyone was secretly shocked. What exactly happened inside?

'Om! '

Suddenly there was a vibration, like a muffled thunder.

Everyone was in the middle of the two ancient formations and found that the power of the two ancient formations was becoming turbulent.

The eldest prince's expression changed. "Have they already begun to break the formation?"

'boom! ’

There was a bigger tremor coming from the front.

There were loud thunders right beside them, and they were surprised to find that several cracks had appeared in the ancient formation in front of them.

Through the cracks, you can vaguely see the scenery deep in the foggy river.

The young master's face suddenly changed, and he pointed at one of the cracks and said in a startled voice: "Master Qin, look there!"

Qin Sang had already noticed that a gorgeous glow was emerging from the depths of the foggy river.

He had a bad feeling, "Could these rays of light be..."

The young master nodded solemnly. Although it was just a quick glimpse, the glow here was almost exactly the same as Ji Jing had described.

Why is there a burst of light here?

Could it be that there is also a den of great evil ahead?

Qin Sang quietly retreated behind the crowd. If he had not been restrained by the Taixu Golden Book, he would have used the Thunder Escape Technique and escaped before he could sense the pressure from the evil spirit.

"There is absolutely no holy beast here!"

Si Huang said decisively that the Si You royal family would definitely not seek death.

The words have not yet fallen.

The foggy river shook violently, and everyone watched as the ancient formation in front of them was torn apart. Finally, it could not bear the weight, and a huge crack ran through the entire formation.

The cracks reflected the scene deep in the Nie River, and the extremely bright rays of light gushed out wantonly. However, the beautiful rays of light brought with them an overwhelming and powerful force, which made everyone alert.

‘Wow! ’

The foggy river rolled back.

The fog flowed like a tide, carrying with it rays of rosy clouds, and came towards us. This force was stronger than the thrust of the Nie River itself.

"retreat!"

At the command of the Emperor, everyone retreated. It was not pleasant to be caught in the middle with the impact in front and the push from behind. Fortunately, everyone was a person of profound cultivation. They remained calm in the face of danger. While retreating, they stared at the glow closely and indeed made new discoveries.

At the edge of the glow, a few black dots appeared, flying backwards just like them. They looked quite embarrassed and were obviously the opponents who had gotten there first.

Si Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at those figures, and his tone was cold: "It's the Feathered People!"

Everyone saw that those people had a pair of wings on their backs, flapping their wings frantically to resist the impact of the sunset glow. (End of this chapter)
