Realizing that there was still hope, I immediately perked up and asked Wuyue, "Senior, do you mean that Mr. Daozi used the Heaven Measuring Ruler to enter back then?"
Wu Yue first shook his head, then nodded and said, "Back then, when my husband entered this place, I wasn't there. I didn't ask him beforehand, so I don't know if he relied on this item to enter. I only saw him carrying this item with him.
However, I sensed the aura of this item just now, and I can roughly confirm that my husband used this item to enter. "
Her words were very roundabout, but I roughly understood and quickly asked, "Since Senior is sure that we can enter with this item, do you know how to use it?
Fatty has already tried before, and he said that this place is sealed by Chiyou's divine power, so he can't use this item at all. "
Regardless of whether that Daozi used the Heaven Measuring Ruler back then or what Wuyue found in the Heaven Measuring Ruler, the most important question now was how to use the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
When the fatty heard my question, he moved closer to me and whispered to me, "Third Baby, didn't I just say that even if the Heaven Measuring Ruler can be used, how are we going to get out once we enter?"
There was some worry on his face, but he was more hesitant. After saying that, he whispered again, "What exactly is inside? Can't you just go in?"
It was obvious that the repeated encounters had made the fatty want to retreat.
However, there was indeed something in Chiyou's tomb that I had to enter.
I nodded with a wry smile and replied, "There is something inside that is related to Lao Ai and is also very important to me.
I know that it will still be very dangerous, but to be honest, I have to go in.
As for how to get out, didn't you hear Wuyue say that when that Daozi entered back then, he used the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Think about it, Wuyue is waiting outside. When that Daozi entered, he couldn't have not prepared a way to get out. So, once the Heaven Measuring Ruler can be used, as long as we find Daozi or his remains, we can use the method he prepared back then to get out. "
After hearing what I said, the fatty's eyes lit up. "Eh, that does make sense."
He patted my shoulder again and said with a smile, "It's good that there's a way.
Since the things inside are very important to you, then this Fat Lord will have to work hard and accompany you again. "
Although he said it casually, I knew that with his personality, he would run away as soon as he sensed danger. He definitely wouldn't be willing to face danger head-on. It was obvious that he was thinking about me when he said that.
I looked at him gratefully and didn't say anything.
The two of us are true brothers who grew up together. Putting aside our identities as Sages and the Nine Cauldrons Family Clans, the two of us will definitely give our all for each other.
While the two of us were discussing, Wu Yue held the Heaven's Measuring Ruler in his hand and remained silent. After we finished speaking, Wu Yue's gaze moved. He didn't look at us and continued to look at the Heaven's Measuring Ruler. He said, "I naturally know how to use this item. However, this Heaven's Measuring Ruler can't be used because of Chiyou's divine power seal. It's because it's severely damaged and the power it contains isn't enough. It might be able to be used in the outside world, but here, the power it contains isn't enough to break through space."
So that was how it was.
The excitement that had just surged in my heart was instantly extinguished. If it was just the fatty who didn't know how to use it, we could use it if Wu Yue told us the method.
However, the problem was with the Heaven's Measuring Ruler. What should we do now?
Without waiting for me to ask, Wu Yue continued, "However, you don't have to worry. I should have a way to repair this item … The two of you wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she didn't wait for us to reply and turned to walk out.
However, not long after, she turned around and ignored me. Instead, she walked in front of the fatty and extended her hand. "The repair process requires the power of the Demon Refining Gourd. Mister Lin, please give me the Demon Refining Gourd."
Although the Demon Refining Gourd was precious, it was Wu Yue who had returned it. The fatty naturally wasn't worried. He nodded and took out the Demon Refining Gourd and handed it to Wu Yue.
After Wu Yue left, the fatty and I looked at each other.
I asked the fatty if he knew why Wu Yue needed the Demon Refining Gourd to repair the Heaven's Measuring Ruler. The fatty shook his head blankly. "I don't know. I can't understand the relationship between the two.
Most importantly, the divine weapon recognized its master. Wu Yue had said that the fatty was the master of the Demon Refining Gourd.
Hence, Wu Yue couldn't even use the Demon Refining Gourd. How could he use the power of the Demon Refining Gourd to restore the power of the Heaven's Measuring Ruler?
We couldn't figure it out, so we could only put our doubts aside and not think about it anymore.
After being severely injured by the bronze statue, my injuries had yet to recover. Hence, I took advantage of this time to close my eyes and sit cross-legged on the ground. I used the true dragon energy in the jade bracelet to heal my injuries.
Ever since I had used the jade bracelet to absorb the true dragon vein of the Metaphysics Association, I had often used the true dragon energy in it to cultivate and heal my injuries.
Although the injuries on my body are not light, under the nourishment of the True Dragon Vein, I am able to recover quickly.
After my body had sufficient dao energy and true essence, although my injuries hadn't fully healed, I only needed to rely on the true essence in my body to slowly nourish them. There wouldn't be any major problems.
I opened my eyes and stood up. I looked around. Wu Yue hadn't returned yet. The fatty was sitting cross-legged not far from me, staring blankly at the cave. I didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard me stand up, he sat up straight and asked me how my injuries were.
I nodded and told him that my injuries were completely healed. The fatty heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, it was a long wait. I didn't know how long it had been, but Wu Yue still didn't show any signs of returning. I said to the fatty, "Let's go forward and see the situation inside."
Earlier, when we were in the cave, the Ten Terminal Formation had collapsed, and black smoke had spread everywhere, corroding the bronze statue. However, when we got out of the cave, the black smoke didn't spread toward us. We didn't know what was going on inside the cave.
The fatty was bored. When he heard my suggestion, he immediately nodded in agreement.
The two of us followed the path we had just taken. After a few steps, we saw the cave in front of us.
After the Ten Terminal Formation disappeared, the cave was dark. We couldn't see anything clearly, only endless darkness. Occasionally, we could hear cold whistling sounds. It was as if there were countless ghosts from the Nine Hells hiding in the darkness.
The fatty and I stopped and didn't dare to move forward. Looking at the endless darkness in front of us, we frowned.
Not long after, the fatty suddenly bent down and picked up a piece of gravel from the ground. He threw it forward and into the darkness.
He also had the cultivation of a Heavenly Master. When he exerted force in his hand, the gravel flew out and instantly disappeared into the black smoke. We couldn't see its shadow, and we could only hear the whistling sounds.
Then, there seemed to be movement in the black smoke. The cold whistling sounds that occasionally sounded just now became more frequent.
After a long time, we didn't hear the sound of the stone falling to the ground.
The fatty shrugged and didn't say anything. However, the danger in the black smoke was self-evident.
At this moment, I furrowed my brows.
The black smoke in front of us was ethereal and mysterious, but it was filled with a thick evil aura. I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I felt that this evil aura was familiar. It was as if I had seen it somewhere before.
After pondering for a while, I couldn't find an answer. I gathered my courage and took a few steps forward. The fatty was so scared that he pulled me back. He said to me with a frightened face, "Third Baby, what are you doing? Do you want to die?
If you go any further, you might come into contact with the black smoke. Just now, those bronze statues directly shattered in the black smoke. You have a body of flesh and blood. If you come into contact with the black smoke, you will immediately turn into ashes. "
I shook my head. Just as I was about to explain to him, we heard some movement behind us. We turned at the same time. Wu Yue, who had left for a long time, had returned.
