"The incomparably huge stone forest that you saw earlier was the formation that sealed the spatial passageway. This system's guess is that this stone forest should be the manifestation of a sealing formation. The reason why this formation can operate is because it relies on the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Now that the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in this world has been sucked dry and the descendants of the Cloud Cang Continent view this place as a place where demons and demons live together, it is possible that someone has deliberately blocked the news, causing them to unilaterally cut off the flow of Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. The most direct result of this is that in a few decades, the formation that sealed the spatial passageway will very likely break down completely due to the lack of energy. When that time comes, the formation will automatically stop operating and that will be the day the spatial passageway opens!"
As if it knew that Luo Xiu wanted to retreat, the System in his mind hurriedly threw out his guess. This was because the System was also very interested in this spatial node. After all, to a certain extent, it still had a lot of research value.
Luo Xiu raised his head to look at the sky above his head, and then looked at the formation formed by the huge stone pillars not too far away from him. Hearing the System's words, Luo Xiu was a little dumbfounded. He was shocked and speechless at the System's words, but at the same time, he was also a little scared.
At this moment, even Luo Xiu himself didn't know why he had such a strange thought at this moment. The most important point was that Luo Xiu actually had some hope in his heart. Moreover, he had already made up his mind. Since the System encouraged him to enter this Devil's Den, then he really wouldn't go in. He directly turned around and left in the direction he came from.
"Hey!
That's not it!
Host, wait a minute. What do you mean by this?
Didn't we agree on this before?
If you continue to go deeper, the System will help you research and find out what secrets there are. Are you giving up, or do you have some misgivings about the System? "
At this moment, the System in his mind was a little dumbfounded, especially when Luo Xiu didn't say anything and turned around to leave at high speed. The System in his mind couldn't make sense of this. It was really a little overboard with Luo Xiu's reaction. At this moment, the System was also a little dumbfounded. It was very surprised by Luo Xiu's reaction.
"Hehe … Since I know that it's just a spatial passage, why should I take such an unnecessary risk? After all, it doesn't have much to do with me, does it?
Since there are no benefits, why would I rush to find trouble for myself? The most important thing is that I don't think it's that easy to open a spatial channel. What if I end up attracting unnecessary trouble or even more terrifying existences? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
After all, I'm going to stay in this world for a long time. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble at this time. At the same time, I don't want to expose my existence at this time!
After all, you know that I have a death feud with the Cangsong Sect. If I expose myself completely in front of these people because of such an insignificant reason, or if I open the spatial passage, it will cause a huge commotion. At the same time, the huge commotion here will attract the experts of the Cangsong Sect to come and check it out. Even if they don't have time to find trouble with me because of the situation here, it's still an unnecessary risk, isn't it? "Luo Xiu spread out his hands and explained to the System indifferently.
He wasn't twisting words and forcing logic, but something that could really happen. Luo Xiu knew very well how annoying he was. Many times, he couldn't have a foothold in this world because of meddling in other people's business.
Especially in this situation, he had just arrived in this world and only knew a little about everything here. If at this time, he opened the spatial passage out of curiosity or for other reasons, the impact would be too great.
Most importantly, Luo Xiu knew that the reason he was so decisive was to completely extinguish the curiosity in his heart. Because he wasn't confident in himself, it was impossible for him to ignore such a big secret. He knew very well that he had always been a very curious person. More importantly, he was also interested in the existence of this Devil's Den. If he became interested in it, it would be a bad thing for the current Luo Xiu.
Therefore, at this moment, when Luo Xiu realized that this Devil's Den didn't mean much to him for the time being, he completely lost his previous excitement and curiosity. At this moment, there was only one thought in Luo Xiu's mind, and that was to leave this place as soon as possible. He was afraid that his curiosity would kill him, because he didn't have much hope in his willpower. He was very worried that his willpower would cause him to fall into danger because of it.
At the same time, the system in his mind was speechless at Luo Xiu's current behavior. At this moment, it was also a little dumbfounded. The previous plan was really perfect, but it didn't expect that Luo Xiu would actually give up at this time. This was a situation that the system didn't expect. Therefore, at this moment, the system was plotting how to trick Luo Xiu into continuing to move towards the Devil's Den.
At the same time, since Luo Xiu had already made up his mind to leave the Devil's Den, he no longer hesitated and directly flew away from the Devil's Den. This time, he chose a different direction and didn't fly in the same direction as before. Along the way, Luo Xiu didn't even look back, afraid that his willpower would be affected. For him, if he really lost his life because of such a small matter, it really wasn't worth it.
In order to prevent himself from going back on the same path, Luo Xiu flew as fast as he could. At the same time, the system in his mind was extremely speechless when it saw the impatient look on the system's face. It also felt that as time passed, Luo Xiu was becoming more and more difficult to control. At this moment, compared to the way it cooperated with Luo Xiu before, the current Luo Xiu was even more confusing.
However, Luo Xiu didn't know about the system's sighs. At this moment, he was so excited that he wanted to look up at the sky and let out a long sigh. In fact, he was also surprised because as he rushed towards the southeast, he clearly felt that the concentration of the vitality between heaven and earth was decreasing, so much so that it was close to zero. During the process of flying, Luo Xiu could clearly feel that the concentration of another special energy, which was comparable to the vitality between heaven and earth, had begun to increase.
Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and shook his head speechlessly. The expression on his face was no longer as calm and composed as before. At this very moment, he thought of the spatial passageway and how he had inexplicably flown to such a desolate area. If one were to say that all of this was a coincidence, he would absolutely not believe it.
Luo Xiu stopped on top of an extremely majestic mountain. Looking at the desolate mountain in front of him, he smiled. This mountain looked ordinary, but in fact, there was an extremely brilliant formation that hid the main body of the mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that he could feel the faintly discernible fluctuation of the spiritual qi between heaven and earth, Luo Xiu would have almost overlooked it. It was really because the person who arranged the formation was too heaven-defying. Originally, he could still feel the vitality between heaven and earth, but the closer he got to the mountain in front of him, the thinner the vitality between heaven and earth became. At the place where he was now, he couldn't even feel the slightest bit of the vitality between heaven and earth. If someone told him that there was nothing strange about this place, Luo Xiu wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Looking up at the surrounding environment, Luo Xiu flew up into the sky and looked down. The mountain in front of him wasn't independent, but a series of mountain ranges. Luo Xiu flew for thousands of meters to the left and right. After probing, he found that only the mountain in front of him had the lowest concentration of spiritual qi. Behind this mountain, the concentration of the vitality of heaven and earth on the other mountain peaks was even higher than in some cities.
Luo Xiu looked at the mountain under his feet. It was like a real mountain peak. He couldn't help but frown. Previously, he thought that the people in this world didn't have a strong understanding of formations. However, the scene in front of him completely refreshed his senses. After seeing the situation here, Luo Xiu also knew that everything here was strange. Even people of a big power should have sealed this place.
Landing at the foot of the mountain, Luo Xiu looked around and finally found the node of the formation. Of course, he didn't have the ability to do so, but the system in his mind could help him do so. Therefore, without any effort, Luo Xiu quietly crept into the hidden mountain.
The moment he entered the mountain peak, he felt something was different. The concentration of spirit energy on this mountain was beyond his imagination. It was a thousand times higher than the average concentration of the spirit energy of heaven and earth in the outside world. However, when Luo Xiu's soul force swept past, he was incomparably shocked to discover that there was not a single person on the entire mountain peak.
In other words, there were no living humans in this place filled with pavilions. This was the site of an abandoned sect. Luo Xiu couldn't help but be curious.
He was definitely not the first person to discover the abnormality here, and he definitely wouldn't be the last. Therefore, for Luo Xiu, to be able to find such well-preserved human remains here was definitely the most delightful thing for him.
Previously, he was still thinking about where to go for closed-door training, and this benefit came to him. How could Luo Xiu not feel ecstatic? After he walked through the entire mountain, he was completely relaxed.
The mountain in front of him had been thoroughly developed. The entire mountain had been hollowed out. There was a huge platform halfway up the mountain, and there were almost thousands of houses. Luo Xiu made a rough estimate, but he wasn't sure how many there were.
Moreover, with the passage of time, these houses had been damaged to varying degrees, but in general, these houses still retained their original construction. Luo Xiu only swept a glance. What he needed to do next was to find out as much information about this place as possible, and at the same time find a way to figure out whether the memories he obtained from the Gold Core practitioners were real or not.
Luo Xiu chose a place that looked like the main hall of the sect. After walking in, he looked at the messy ground and the fallen chairs everywhere. He couldn't help but frown. However, he didn't care too much about it. After all, there was no battle here. The mess here was probably caused by the hasty evacuation of the sect at that time.
Following that, he walked towards the backyard. Along the way, he saw some open rooms, so Luo Xiu walked in in an attempt to find useful clues. When he came out of the third room, he held a few extremely simple and unadorned jade slips in his hand. When Luo Xiu first saw these jade slips, he was excited for a moment. These jade slips were casually abandoned in the corner. If he wasn't careful, it would be impossible for him to discover them. The quilt on the bed was very messy, and some places were even covered with spider silk. Although Luo Xiu felt that it was very strange, he knew that his previous speculation should be correct.
In particular, when his spirit power entered the jade slips, he was surprised to find that it was a diary written by a person. Judging from the tone of this person's writing, it was a jade slip left behind by a woman. Luo Xiu learned some special information from the jade slips. For example, someone had sent a message to them, asking them to deal with it as soon as possible, lest they become funerary objects because of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. He also learned that the reason this place was abandoned was to set up a formation in the entire Southeast Region to completely turn this place into a place without spiritual energy.
And what made Luo Xiu heave a sigh of relief was that from the information left behind in the jade slip, what he was worried about did not happen. The retreat was to the Azure Cloud Great World. Luo Xiu guessed that the reason why he appeared there was very likely related to the spatial passageway.
Following that, Luo Xiu searched a few more rooms. Unfortunately, these people did not leave behind anything useful or valuable. He found a few more jade slips, but they were all cultivation technique jade slips. They were not very attractive to him, so he could only helplessly record them. After letting the system act as a database, Luo Xiu went to a few other courtyards to search and found some books. However, he was very helpless because many of the books had already been destroyed. Only a small portion of the books that were made of beast skin could be preserved.
But unfortunately, Luo Xiu did not find any useful value from these books. He could only speculate that the reason why this sect called Cangnan Sect left in such a hurry was that at that time, the other major forces did not prepare to let them evacuate at all. They were ready to kill them all. It was only because some experts of the Cangnan Sect noticed that something was wrong that they hurriedly evacuated from this world with their disciples.
