It took Blood Fairy six to eight hours to finish setting up the pattern. This part of the world would be sealed off. Not even psychic power, let alone remnant souls, could come out.
Blood Fairy was sure that the remnant souls could not come out. Even if they could, it would take a long time. She would be able to sense it.
Lu Li left with a peace of mind. Following the guidance of the remnant soul of the old demon, he walked all the way to the hall. After walking through more than a dozen broken halls, he found the corridor.
As he had expected, it was a dead end. There seemed to be no divine patterns or traps.
Blood Fairy went to investigate and found the divine inscription that opened this place. Although it was well hidden, it was exactly as the old devil's remnant soul had described.
Lu Li told Blood Fairy to activate the divine pattern. He was on high alert. He even took out the Divine Liquid of Destruction, fearing that some powerful beasts would come out.
"Buzzing!"
After a moment, the wall glowed. A door appeared. Lu Li checked with psychic power and was relieved.
The layout inside was exactly the same as the old devil's remnant soul had described. There was nothing inside, only a wooden sculpture.
Lu Li walked in and stood in front of the wood sculpture.
This wood sculpture was made of the same material as the previous one.
The difference was that this sculpture was of a powerful warrior of an ancient race. His eyes were filled with vigor as if he were a living warrior.
Lu Li did not try to sense it at once. He told Blood Fairy to check while he used the Trace of Dao to see if there was any danger.
Making sure that there was no danger, Blood Fairy went back into his body. He stood in front of the statue and began to check.
There was Dao in the statue. Lu Li could tell at a glance.
He looked up and used his spiritual energy to check the eyes of the statue. He could tell that the Dao was contained in the eyes.
"Buzzing!"
Right at that moment, the eyes of the statue suddenly glowed. Following that, a strange force came out and enveloped Lu Li.
Lu Li shrank and dashed into the eyes of the statue in a blur.
"What ~"
Lu Li saw a flash of black light. He found himself in a strange space. He was shocked.
He released the black flames at once to cover himself up. At the same time, he checked the surroundings.
"What …"
Lu Li was relieved after he took a look. There was no danger where he was standing.
At this moment, he understood something, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
He had been very careful, but he was still tricked by the remnant soul of that old devil.
This was a strange space, inside a huge cave. This cave was sealed, and there was no exit.
There was a pool in the cave, and beside the pool was a stone platform. There was a skeleton on top of the platform and below it.
There was a corpse sitting cross-legged on a black stone platform. Its appearance was identical to that of the statue outside, so it was most likely the corpse of a Great Perfection Stage member of an ancient race.
The other corpse fell below the stone platform. His face was ferocious, and there was a look of unwillingness and madness on his face. More than half of his body had been destroyed, and his head had exploded. It was obvious that he had suffered a powerful attack before he died.
Lu Li guessed that the other body was that of the old demon. He came here by mistake and died here. The remnant of his soul escaped.
He tricked Lu Li into coming here because he wanted Lu Li to die here as well. His remnant soul would not live for long anyway. He wanted Lu Li to die with him …
Lu Li used the Trace of Dao to check. At the same time, he let out Blood Fairy and asked her to take a closer look.
He told Blood Fairy to be extremely careful when she examined the platform. The old devil had died beneath it, and the platform definitely contained the seal of the consummate expert's laws. It possessed immense offensive power.
This cave was unusual. Even though it was sealed, the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was rich. It was not stuffy at all.
The pool in front of the platform was not an average one. There must be some strong liquid in it. Lu Li could feel the surging energy in it.
"Perfect Relic weapon!"
Lu Li's eyes soon fell on the high platform. There was a Relic Weapon stuck in the ground next to the consummate warrior. It was a saber. Although it didn't seem to have any powerful aura, since it could be placed next to a consummate warrior, it must not be an ordinary item.
Emperor Armaments and Sacred Armaments didn't count for much. What cultivators valued the most was that they contained the laws of experts. When they released this Divine Armament, they would be able to activate the laws within. The might of this Divine Armament was very frightening.
"Master, the platform … is dangerous. I can't go any closer!"
Before Lu Li could finish his investigation, Blood Fairy said, "I can sense a surge of energy in the platform. It is not a Divine Pattern. I think it is a trace of energy left behind by the warrior. I think I will be killed as soon as I go near it."
"Okay, don't do anything rash!"
Lu Li was worried. He told Blood Fairy to check other places to see if there were any exits.
He stayed where he was and tried to sense from a distance.
An hour later, Blood Fairy said again, "Master, this is a strange space. The entire space is sealed off by a mysterious force. Only souls can go out."
"Souls can go out?"
Lu Li became more solemn. Unless he gave up his physical body, he could fly his soul out and find a chance to rebuild his physical body.
In that case, his body would have to stay here. He could not take away the pellet nor the Dharma Realm.
The connection between the Dharma Realm and this world was in the pellet …
In other words, if Lu Li wanted to leave as a soul, then everything he had done would be pointless. He would have to start all over again.
Also, he was a soul. This was the Eastern Region. There was no powerful warrior nearby that could help him. He would have to float around alone. Would he have a chance to rebuild his body?
The Eastern Region was a dangerous place. In less than half a month, his soul would be attacked by warriors or immortal beasts. By then, his soul would be gone.
The remnant soul outside must be in the same situation. When he left, his soul must be intact. But he could not rebuild his body. Gradually, he became an remnant soul. In the end, he could only hide in the wood sculpture and linger on.
"I have been careless …"
Lu Li was angry. Only an remnant soul was left. He would not be able to linger on for long. What was there to worry about?
Why would he be afraid that Lu Li would burn his remnant soul?
His mind must be filled with resentment and he would want to kill as many as he could.
Lu Li and Blood Fairy kept on searching. After two days, they were sure that there was no exit. Apart from the platform and the pond, there was nothing special.
Lu Li gazed at the platform. He had an idea — either he could go up to the platform and stand in front of the remains of the warrior at the consummate realm, or he could end up like that asshole and leave his body here forever.
