The ground was barren and filled with bottomless pits. There were also many cracks in the sky. Sometimes a few cracks would connect together and then disappear.
Some collapsed buildings could also be seen on the ground.
After Chi Hu arrived, his eyes lit up and he said, "There's no anchor, this is the place. Xi Zu once described the first layer in detail."
Then he lowered his head and began to calculate. His divine sense spread out as if he was looking for a certain location.
Wang Lin frowned. He looked around and suddenly said, "Brother Chi Hu, the place recorded in the jade is where the fragments overlap.
What layer is it? "Red Butterfly frowned and said," Nonsense, of course it's the second layer!
Red Butterfly hadn't spoken in a long time. At this moment, she snorted and said, "Nonsense, of course it's the second layer!
It's already not easy for the Celestial Realm to have two layers of fragments overlap! "
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed and he coldly said, "Ignorant!"
After being called ignorant again, Red Butterfly's eyes revealed killing intent and she immediately stared at Wang Lin.
Chi Hu bitterly smiled and quickly said, "Brother Ceng, it is indeed the second layer, but my clan's Xi Zu guessed that there might be a third layer below it."
Red Butterfly was startled. Her eyes lit up and she silently pondered.
Wang Lin's expression didn't change. He still felt like something was wrong. Earlier, he had felt like someone was following him. This feeling was very mysterious and wasn't related to cultivation. It was because of Wang Lin's many years of killing.
"Found it, follow me!" After a long time, Chi Hu's body moved and he flew forward.
Soon, the three of them stopped at a location in the northeast.
"This is the place where Xi Zu left the plum blossom mark and the calculation method. There's no anchor!"
Chi Hu had a happy expression as he landed next to a deep pit.
Wang Lin looked down and saw that the pit was indeed in the shape of a plum blossom.
Chi Hu jumped into the pit. Red Butterfly looked at Wang Lin and followed behind him.
Wang Lin spread out his divine sense and found that the pit was bottomless. After pondering for a bit, he jumped in.
Not long after the three of them entered the cave, the middle-aged man with the gourd appeared next to the pit. He took a sip of wine and waved his hand, causing a pagoda to appear. The white-robed woman's body flew out again and was caught by him.
He looked at the corpse and slightly shook his head as he muttered to himself, "Ting Er, I'm afraid this group of juniors have wasted their time. I've already turned the coffin into a pagoda. Unfortunately, you've already absorbed most of the coffin's energy in just a few thousand years. Ting Er, don't worry, I'll go find more celestial jades. There should be some on the third floor."
With that, he planted a kiss on the forehead of the corpse. However, his expression suddenly changed. With a wave of his hand, the corpse and the pagoda disappeared. He looked up at the sky.
A rumble came from the sky as a person walked out from the cracks. This person had white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He was extremely fast and flashed out from the cracks in the blink of an eye.
"Why bother? The Old Man has searched this damn place for so long and has gone through almost every fragment, but I still haven't found a celestial corpse."
He let out a sigh as he descended from the sky. When he saw the middle-aged man, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Hello, hello."
The middle-aged man frowned. Among the people that came from Suzaku, only this old man made him feel dread. He could see that this old man's cultivation level was the same as his, mid stage Soul Transformation!
However, he had never seen this person before. There weren't many Soul Transformation cultivators in Suzaku, and the middle-aged man was confident that he knew every single Soul Transformation cultivator.
He looked at the old man, didn't say a word, and jumped into the pit.
"Uh … Ignoring me, how rude!" The old man rubbed his nose.
He glanced at the pit that the middle-aged man had jumped into and was about to leave when he suddenly sniffed the air around him.
"Eh?
Death aura!
That's right, it's death aura, the aura of a celestial corpse. I can't be wrong!
It should be a female corpse. Haha, a female corpse is even better, even better! "
The old man's eyes lit up. He looked around and suddenly stared at the pit the middle-aged man fell into. His body flashed and he quickly rushed in.
"Now I can complete the sect head's mission and leave this godforsaken Suzaku.
The sect head is really strange. I, Shiyin, don't have any bodies, so why did he want a celestial corpse? I wonder which planet's guest has such a unique taste. "The old man had a happy expression as he thought to himself.
Wang Lin's group of three moved very fast. After entering the pit, they kept falling. They didn't know how long they had been falling, but they still couldn't see the bottom. At the same time, they felt a force of resistance moving up and down.
"This is the place. After we go down, we can enter the place recorded in the jade. However, there are some restrictions there, but with the three of us, we can definitely break them!"
Chi Hu's voice was filled with joy.
The deeper they went, the stronger the resistance became. At this moment, the resistance had reached a certain level, so their speed naturally slowed down.
After a long time, the resistance became even stronger. Wang Lin took a deep breath and circulated spiritual energy throughout his body to resist the pressure.
He secretly calculated that they had already fallen more than ten thousand feet, but they still couldn't see the bottom. His divine sense spread out, but there was a mysterious force that made it so that his divine sense could only probe up to ten thousand feet.
Wang Lin looked at Red Butterfly. Her body was emitting a blue light, but her face was expressionless.
As for Chi Hu, the axe mark between his eyebrows was flashing intensely. Every time it flashed, the resistance outside his body would decrease by a bit. It was very mysterious.
Time slowly passed. After an unknown amount of time, Chi Hu, who was in front, shouted in joy, "We've arrived!"
Wang Lin's mind trembled. He took out the restriction flag and charged forward. The three of them charged out of the pit at almost the same time.
At the moment he charged out, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He waved the restriction flag in his hand and it quickly wrapped around his body. His eyes no longer felt the pain. After taking a closer look, his expression became very strange.
This place wasn't big; it was only a hundred feet wide.
There was indeed a pool of water in the middle of this place.
However … there was no white jade coffin on top of the pool, not to mention the three celestial swords on top of the coffin.
As for spiritual herbs, there was no sign of them.
Aside from the lack of treasures, this place was exactly the same as the jade.
Chi Hu stared blankly at the scene in front of him. His mind was blank. He had spent so much effort and even used the compass to get here, but he didn't expect it to be like this … Red Butterfly sneered with a trace of anger and said, "Chi Hu, this is the place you were talking about?
I wasted my stamen to enter this place?
If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let this go! "
Wang Lin looked around with a strange expression and couldn't help but bitterly smile. He wasn't as angry as Red Butterfly. After all, not only did he not suffer any losses along the way, he even obtained a purple golden stone. If he counted it, he had made a profit.
Thinking of this, he moved forward and began to wander around the surroundings, carefully searching everywhere.
Red Butterfly's eyes revealed a trace of anger. She also began to quickly search, hoping to find some treasures.
Chi Hu stared at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself, "How could this be … impossible … could it be that someone came here after Xi Zu found this place and took away the treasures?
That's right, it must be like this! "
He bitterly shook his head and looked at Wang Lin and Red Butterfly, who were looking around. He cupped his hands and said, "You two, I was reckless this time. Ai, I also didn't expect it to be like this …"
Red Butterfly was about to go crazy. She turned around and stared at Chi Hu. She slowly said, word for word, "Just because I was reckless, you think you can make up for the stamen I lost?
Chi Hu, I think you already knew this place would be like this. You purposely borrowed my power to come here. If you don't explain it today, don't blame me for ignoring our friendship! "
Wang Lin's expression didn't change as he carefully looked around. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything. Finally, his gaze fell on the pool of water. The pool of water was completely dark and bottomless.
After Chi Hu heard Red Butterfly's words, his expression became ugly, but he endured it and said, "Red Butterfly, after we return to Suzaku, I'll give you an explanation. However, you said I had another purpose, which is absolutely not the case. I, Chi Hu, am the young master of the Giant Demon Clan. Although I'm not as noble as you, I am still a man of my word!"
Red Butterfly sneered. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Lin suddenly said, "Chi Hu, you said before that there was a third floor?"
Chi Hu was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Ceng Niu, that's right. My clan's Xi Zu analyzed that there should be a third floor."
"Xi Zu?
Your clan's Xi Zu said that there was a treasure in the second floor! "Red Butterfly coldly mocked.
Chi Hu's eyes were gloomy as he looked at Red Butterfly. After a long time, he took a deep breath and walked toward Wang Lin. His gaze also fell on the pool of water.
Wang Lin slowly said, "If there really is a third floor, then this should be the entrance!"
Red Butterfly let out a snort. Her body moved forward and she looked inside the pool of water.
Just at this moment, a person suddenly floated down from the tunnel above. The moment this person appeared, he took a step forward and appeared above the pool of water before Wang Lin and company.
A powerful force came from his body, causing Chi Hu's face to turn pale. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and his body was knocked back.
As for Red Butterfly, she let out a cry and retreated. Her eyes were filled with shock.
Wang Lin had been vigilant the entire time. He already knew that someone was following them, so the moment the other person appeared, he retreated. Although he was still affected by the force field, he wasn't injured. His face only became a bit red as he retreated a few dozen feet.
"Eh?" The person looked at Wang Lin, picked up the gourd in his hand, and took a big gulp.
Chi Hu exclaimed, "Five Element Sect's Zhou Yi!"
The middle-aged man revealed a smile and said, "Little guy from the Giant Demon Clan, you recognize me?"
After Red Butterfly heard the name Zhou Yi, her expression immediately changed. Her eyes revealed a deeply hidden sense of disgust.
Chi Hu quickly and respectfully said, "Junior Giant Demon Clan's Chi Hu greets senior. Junior has heard of senior's name since I was young."
As the young master of the Giant Demon Clan, he had been trained since he was young. He had seen all of the Soul Transformation cultivators in the Suzaku, so when he saw the red gourd, he immediately recognized this person.
This was especially true because Zhou Yi had a very strange hobby. This hobby was later proven to be true, so Chi Hu naturally remembered this hobby very well.
I said it's the third watch, and it's the third watch. Everyone knows what kind of person he is. Fellow Daoist, you won't regret giving me your monthly ticket!
His goal wasn't big; he just wanted to surpass third place and replace it!
