Although the Ten Extremes Ancient Formation had become abnormally dangerous, the black smoke that had suddenly emerged did not surge outwards. After escaping to the cave outside, we stopped.
Looking at the scene in the passageway, the three of us fell silent. The fatty sucked in a breath of cold air. His expression was one of extreme shock. After a long while, he asked with a trembling voice, "What kind of power is this?
With the addition of the formation, the bronze statues can display the power of the Yang God. The material they are made of must be able to withstand the power of the Yang God. However, after the black smoke came out, the bronze statues did not resist at all and directly turned into powder … How is this possible? "
The fat man was really frightened. He asked with a face full of fear. I also frowned at the side.
This sudden change had almost completely blocked the possibility of entering Chiyou's tomb. Even the Nine Provinces Cauldron had been lost inside. What should I do?
Tao Wu had clearly told me that the second part of the Death Scripture was in Chiyou's Skull Mound. Although with my current cultivation, I could still continue on the path of cultivation even without the second part of the Death Scripture, from the very beginning, my path of cultivation began with Tao Wu and the first part of the Death Scripture. Although Tao Wu did not say it clearly, there was a very close relationship between her and the Death Scripture. No matter how I looked at it, it was impossible for me to give up the second part of the Death Scripture. But what should I do now?
After pondering for a long time, I could not think of any way. Facing the power of the Ten Extremes Ancient Formation that could destroy the world, all my schemes were useless at this moment.
In the end, Wuyue spoke first. She first apologized to me and said sincerely, "Mister Zhou, Mister Lin, I really did not know that there was such a killer move hidden in the formation. I almost killed you two. This is my fault."
In my depression, I was indeed a little angry at Wuyue. However, my mind was focused on the second part of the Death Scripture, so I only shook my head and did not speak.
After Wuyue apologized, she continued, "Now that the situation is like this, do you two have any way to continue forward?"
This surprised me. The doubts that I had about her earlier resurfaced in my mind.
This Wuyue first advised us to leave this place and not enter Chiyou's Tomb. He even brought us here to meet Lu Zhenyang to persuade us to leave.
However, when she saw Lu Zhenyang, her attitude changed greatly. She didn't mention anything about leaving. Instead, she expressed her goodwill and asked us to open the door.
Even now, when the situation is clearly unfavorable, she still continues to ask if we have a solution.
I really couldn't understand such a huge contrast between before and after.
Previously, we had the same goal, so I didn't ask her anything. But now, facing the black smoke in front of us, I shook my head and asked her why her attitude had changed so much.
Seeing me shake my head, Wu Yue was disappointed at first. After hearing my question, her expression became complicated. After a moment of silence, she smiled bitterly and said to me, "Actually, I don't know if I should enter the tomb … Wu Yue said that after my husband entered the tomb a hundred years ago, he specifically told me to guard this place and not let anyone enter, including myself.
For the past hundred years, I have been doing this, including persuading you to leave. It is also for this reason. "
"My husband is a cautious person. Since he asked me to do this, it must be very important, so I didn't think too much about it.
However, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed … A hundred years isn't too long, but it isn't short either. I knew that I had to do what my husband asked me to do, but at the same time, I was worried about him … I couldn't wait any longer. Countless times, I couldn't help but want to go in myself, but this formation stopped me.
It wasn't until Lu Zhenyang appeared here that hope rose in my heart. Unfortunately, he lied to me and didn't open the formation. Then, I placed my hopes on you.
Of course, I was conflicted. That night, I asked you to come up the mountain to see something. In reality, I didn't know if I wanted you to see Lu Zhenyang or this formation … "
Wu Yue's voice was clear, and I couldn't hear much emotion from it. However, these pale words made my heart inexplicably tense.
A hundred years … Perhaps it was because Wu Yue was a ghost, but she didn't think it was long. In my opinion, a hundred years was several times longer than my entire life. Wu Yue was a ghost, but her husband, the Daoist of Mount Longhu, was a human. No matter what he wanted to do in Chiyou's tomb, he hadn't come out for a hundred years. It was highly likely that something had happened inside, and he had died.
I didn't know if Wu Yue didn't realize this because of the difference between a human and a ghost, or if she deliberately didn't think about it.
After a moment of silence, I sighed. I didn't know what to say. I nodded at Wu Yue as a response. Then, I continued to think about what to do next.
The final formation of the Ten Terminal Formation was too powerful. It far exceeded the power we had at the moment.
From this point of view, it was impossible to break the formation. The only thing we could consider was whether we could use some method to avoid this formation. We could even search for other entrances to Chiyou's skull tomb.
After asking Wu Yue, I learned that her husband had studied this tomb for many years and confirmed that there was only one passage in front of us.
Thus, I gave up on the second thought and focused on the first problem.
If we wanted to avoid this formation and enter the tomb directly, the fatty's Sky-Measuring Ruler was one of the options. Although he had already tried and the Sky-Measuring Ruler couldn't be used here, I didn't give up. I asked him to take out the Sky-Measuring Ruler and study it to see if there was any hope.
The fatty was a little disinterested, but he still took out the Sky-Measuring Ruler as I had asked. However, when he was about to try, he hesitated and said to me, "Third Baby, this Sky-Measuring Ruler can only be used once. After you try it, no matter if it works or not, it will eventually break …"
I knew that he was reluctant and wanted to study the space power in the Sky-Measuring Ruler. Thus, I hesitated.
For my sake, the fatty had already sacrificed a lot. Now that there was clearly no hope, it would be too much for him to waste a magic tool that he was so fond of.
However, other than the Sky-Measuring Ruler, I couldn't think of any other way.
While I was hesitating, the fatty continued, "Third Baby, have you ever thought about it? Even if the Sky-Measuring Ruler works and we really pass through the Ten Terminal Formation and enter the tomb, how are we going to get out?"
I was stunned. I hadn't considered this problem before. Back in Chiyou's Shoulder Mausoleum, we had returned the way we came. Based on this, it was most likely the same here.
The fatty was right. Even if we got the second volume of the Death Scripture after entering, it was still up to me whether we could come out or not.
As I thought of this, my heart instantly became desolate and chaotic.
Just then, Wu Yue suddenly spoke. She didn't speak to me but looked at the Sky-Measuring Ruler in the fatty's hand. She frowned and asked, "What is that?
The Sky-Measuring Ruler you mentioned? "
The fatty didn't know what she meant. He nodded and explained, "Yes, the Sky-Measuring Ruler contains the power of space. It can allow people to travel through space and possibly bring us through the Ten Terminal Formation. In that case, there's no need to break the formation."
After listening to the fatty's explanation, Wu Yue frowned. After thinking for a while, she continued to ask, "Can you let me take a look at this Sky-Measuring Ruler?"
The fatty didn't know what she meant and handed the Sky-Measuring Ruler to her hesitantly.
Wu Yue took it and flipped it in her hand. Then, she held the Sky-Measuring Ruler and closed her eyes to think for a while. Suddenly, she turned to look at me and said, "I've never heard of the Sky-Measuring Ruler, but I've seen this thing before."
"Seen it before?" I didn't know what she meant and looked at her in confusion.
Wu Yue continued, "Back then, my husband also had this thing.
At that time, I felt that there was a familiar power in this thing, but I didn't think too much about it. I felt it just now, and there was indeed an aura that I was familiar with … "
I didn't pay attention to the second half of her words and only paid attention to the first half. My heart instantly lit up.
