Just a short while.
The power in Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizhen's bodies was constantly dissipating, and their realm of cultivation declined.
Xiao Shi fell directly from the life soul stage to the soul awakening stage.
Xiang Zizhen even fell from the Martial Demon Realm to the Martial Soul Realm in an instant.
This made Xiao Shi extremely shocked.
For the first time, I felt the terrifying power of the Saint realm.
"The so-called power of the Saint Realm..."
"It's because these saints are able to gather all the power within their own domain, including the power of all warriors in their own domain!"
"As long as a warrior is in its domain, he will be unable to resist."
"When the Saint mobilizes the power of the domain, the power will flow away and condense into the Saint's hands."
Xiang Zizhen looked solemn.
Xiao Shi was shocked by this.
Although he knew that the Saint would have extremely terrifying strength in his own domain, he did not expect that the Saint could forcibly mobilize the power of other warriors in the domain!
This method is really too overbearing!
This also made Xiao Shi feel the terror of the saint for the first time.
Now Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizheng's cultivation has declined.
This directly disrupted their original plan, making them hesitant about whether to take action at this time.
After some thought.
Xiang Zizheng gritted his teeth and decided to continue the action.
After all, it wasn't just him and Xiao Shi whose cultivation levels had dropped, all the people in Xingluo Territory had experienced a drop in cultivation levels.
And this decline in cultivation is only temporary.
It's not a permanent fall.
Immediately.
Xiang Zizhen took Xiao Shi with him.
Heading all the way to the bottom of the prison.
Before that.
Xiang Zizhen had already used his authority to transfer many of the prison guards, so that he and Xiao Shi did not encounter anyone while moving forward.
soon.
They came to the bottom floor of the prison.
It is pitch black here.
A huge and complex pattern is gathered on the ground, like a gorgeous blooming flower.
At the position of the entire flower core.
There was a figure sitting cross-legged.
This turned out to be an old woman with white hair.
His eyes were closed and his face was full of wrinkles.
Even though his realm has fallen now, he still maintains the Martial Demon Realm!
"This person is the caretaker here!"
"To enter this prison, you must first defeat it."
"But this person is not an ordinary Wu Mo realm. She has the blessing of Xing Luo Lord. If my realm has not fallen, I am confident that I can deal with her."
"But now that my realm has fallen, many of my methods are no longer usable. The best I can do is to contain the enemy."
"I will be the only one to hold her back later, and you will find a chance to enter the prison."
Xiang Zizhen spoke to Xiao Shi through his soul consciousness.
Although he knew early on that once the saints mobilized the power of their domain, their strength and cultivation would decline, but in his original plan, he did not expect that the Star Luo Lord would mobilize the power of his domain.
Because before the action.
Xiang Zizhen’s master had told him about this.
In this battle, the Xingluo Lord will not be able to mobilize the power of his domain.
But I didn’t expect…
Even if the Star Luo Lord was trapped in the Four Symbols Forbidden World Formation, he could still mobilize the power of the domain.
This resulted in them having to make some adjustments to their plans.
"Don't you want me to join you?"
Xiao Shi felt that if he and Xiang Zi really joined forces, they would have a greater chance of winning.
However, Xiang Zizhen shook his head.
He said with a very serious expression.
"You have to remember, no matter what happens later, you must not attack her! You just need to find the right time and enter the prison, and you must not attack her!"
Xiao Shi nodded thoughtfully.
After finishing the explanation.
Xiang Zizhen's eyes were fixed on the old woman in front of him.
whoosh!
He moved and rushed directly towards the old woman.
At the moment of rushing out.
The old woman's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Xiao Shi saw it clearly.
There were no childlike pupils in the old woman's eye sockets, only grayness.
But when she looked at Xiang Zizheng.
Xiang Zi really seemed to be targeted.
"There's something strange..."
Xiao Shi frowned slightly.
Follow him and you will see.
Suddenly, overlapping shadows appeared from the old woman's body. A figure with a rotten body and wearing a torn black robe floated out directly from the old woman's body with a sudden chill.
He pounced towards Xiang Zizhen ferociously.
But the next moment.
The figure was smashed to pieces by Xiang Zizheng's punch!
But when this figure was blasted to pieces, it was like ink splashing out, all of which stained Xiang Zizhen's body, making a hissing and burning sound.
It made Xiang Zi really feel as if he had been subjected to some kind of strong pollution.
And it wasn't just his body that was contaminated.
At the same time, this pollution also penetrates into its soul.
This not only slowed down Xiang Zizheng's speed, but also made his mind blurry.
The scariest thing...
Xiang Zizhen's childhood wisdom was actually disappearing bit by bit under this kind of pollution.
As if being assimilated by the other party.
Will gradually become like each other.
Fortunately, Xiang Zizhen has many tricks up his sleeve.
Before his sanity dissipated, he contained this pollution.
But it can only prevent it from spreading, but cannot eliminate the pollution.
Xiao Shi also realized that this pollution was not simple.
I guess this is why Xiang Zizheng told me not to take action.
Once you do something to the old woman...
You will be contaminated by this pollution!
It will then be difficult to sneak into the place of imprisonment.
Xiang Zizhen had already arrived in front of the old woman.
A vortex suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, and began to rotate and stir there.
With a click.
His entire brow was cracked.
A figure identical to his was projected directly from between his eyebrows.
It was his demonic clone!
It is obvious that Xiang Zizheng is already able to control his own demonic clone.
Let the demon clone attack with him.
However, due to the decline in his cultivation, the overall strength of both his original body and his demonic clone was greatly reduced.
Many methods cannot be used.
But the upside is...
The pollution brought by the old woman has much less impact on the demonic clone than on the original body.
This allows Xiang Zizhen's demonic clone to attack as much as he wants.
puff!
finally.
After a fierce battle.
Xiang Zizhen successfully made the old woman's body no longer sit cross-legged in the flower core pattern.
"Now!"
The moment the old woman's body moved.
No need for Xiang Zizhen to remind me.
Xiao Shi crushed the minced meat in his hand.
And rush forward at the fastest speed.
From beginning to end.
Xiang Zizhen’s goal was not to defeat or kill the old woman.
But it was to prevent the old woman from sitting at the entrance to the place of imprisonment.
The only way is to force it back.
Xiao Shicai has the opportunity to enter the place of prison!
At the same time, the minced meat that Xiao Shi crushed was the important thing that Xiang Zizhen had given him before, which could make him invisible for a short period of time.
The two of them worked very well together.
Xiang Zizheng is responsible for restraining them.
Xiao Shize seized the opportunity and went directly to the place of imprisonment.
In an instant.
Xiao Shi had already rushed to the place where the old woman had been sitting cross-legged.
In the invisible state that one is in.
The old woman never noticed him at all.
And the moment Xiao Shi stepped into the entire flower core pattern.
His figure suddenly disappeared from the entire diagram.
Go straight through this entrance.
Entered the prison hidden in this prison!
…
The sky was gloomy and dark.
Xiao Shi appeared out of nowhere in a quiet valley.
The whole valley doesn't look very big.
With a rare peace.
At the same time, the moment Xiao Shi appeared here.
He was surprised to find out.
His cultivation level, which had fallen previously, was actually restored at this moment, and he returned to his original soul consciousness stage.
"Could it be that this place is not Xingluo Territory?"
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought about this.
Logically speaking.
Now, all the warriors in the entire Xingluo Territory are being mobilized by the Xingluo Lord, and their strength and cultivation have declined. No matter where they are in Xingluo Territory, this is true and no one can escape.
But now after entering here.
His own cultivation level was restored directly.
This made him realize that this place of imprisonment was most likely no longer in Xingluo Territory!
"No… "
"wrong!"
"The feeling I get here is... somewhat similar to the feeling I had in the fantasy world earlier, but also somewhat different. This place doesn't have that sense of fantasy, but a real world."
Xiao Shi clearly felt the uniqueness of this place of imprisonment.
Anyway.
He must be cautious in this mysterious and strange place.
Think of this.
Branches suddenly extended from Xiao Shi's body and transformed into a figure beside him.
It is his main body!
Before coming.
Xiao Shi had already hidden his main body in his clone through the Cang'e ancient tree.
He knows it very well.
In this place full of dangers and unknowns, the ability to clone alone is definitely not enough.
The main body must come in.
To this.
He even prepared disguise items.
After entering this place, he planned to quietly disguise his main body as an avatar, so as to continue to hide his identity without revealing his true identity.
Now that Xiang Zizheng is no longer with us, there is no need to disguise ourselves.
"Let's take a look at the environment here first..."
After the main body appears.
Xiao Shi immediately spread out his soul consciousness to explore the valley.
However, as his soul consciousness spread.
He made a strange discovery.
His soul consciousness was unable to play any role in investigating here.
Although his soul consciousness can spread normally.
However, the diffused soul consciousness could not sense anything and lost its proper function.
"It seems that this place cannot be explored with soul consciousness!"
Xiao Shi understood.
This is not surprising.
Until now.
As he gained more experience, he discovered that many high-end places could not be explored with soul consciousness.
Before entering this place.
He had already prepared himself for the possibility of not being able to investigate with his soul consciousness.
Xiao Shi looked around.
At the moment, there was nothing unusual within his field of vision, and he did not feel any crisis.
But just to be on the safe side.
Xiao Shi before taking action.
He took out the Ningyun Pill first and swallowed it without hesitation.
Buzz!
In an instant.
After swallowing the Ningyun Pill, streams of luck invisible to the naked eye suddenly gathered towards Xiao Shi.
This caused an invisible vortex of luck to appear under Xiao Shi's feet.
All the luck of this place of imprisonment, under the effect of the Ningyun Pill, gathered towards Xiao Shi.
Unfortunately, luck is such a thing...
It can't be seen, touched, or felt.
To the extent that Xiao Shi didn't know how much his current luck had improved.
But one thing is for sure...
As long as this place of imprisonment is not a place of doom.
My luck now is definitely better than usual.
This also made Xiao Shi feel a lot more at ease.
He took a deep breath.
Start moving forward along the valley road.
Although there is no soul consciousness to investigate.
However, under Xiao Shi's feet, branches seeped into the ground and spread forward rapidly, allowing Xiao Shi to control the situation within hundreds of meters ahead in advance.
At the same time, even if there is a crisis ahead.
He could also use the branches of the ancient Cang'e tree to respond immediately.
that's all.
When he walked forward for a distance.
The journey was smooth and nothing happened.
Until he came to a stone tablet in the valley.
This is a tall, ancient stone monument.
The entire stone tablet is about five meters high, covered with frost and dust, and has unclear handwriting.
Xiao Shi stared at the contents on the stone tablet.
Taboos in the valley: 1. When the wind blows in the valley, please stay where you are, do not move, do not talk, and wait for the wind to stop.
Second, if you see a residual soul in the valley, remember not to attack!
3. If you see corpses or debris in the valley, please bury them.
4. Any items in the valley cannot be picked up!
5. If you encounter a fork in the road in the valley, be sure to choose the road on the far left.
6. There will be patrolling guards in the valley. If you encounter troubles that you cannot solve by yourself, you can ask the guards for help, but after getting the guards' help, you must fulfill one of the guards' wishes.
7. Not all guards in the valley are willing to help. Only guards without heads will help. If you encounter a guard with a head, find a way to avoid him immediately.
8. When you are in the valley, remember not to have any evil thoughts.
…
Xiao Shi looked at the message on the stone tablet in front of him.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems that my luck is taking effect!"
It's obvious.
The reason why he could encounter such a stone tablet that marked all the taboos in the valley was entirely because of his current powerful luck!
If it is under normal circumstances.
This stone tablet would definitely not appear.
Even if this stone tablet appeared, it would be impossible for there to be such detailed taboos on it.
This is only possible with his strong luck.
Important information to see.
“If you can’t see these taboos… then it’s really dangerous!”
Although Xiao Shi didn't know what would happen if he violated these taboos.
But judging from these taboos, most of them will be violated without knowing them in advance.
Now that I know these taboos.
Xiao Shi can avoid it to the greatest extent possible.
But what puzzled him was...
He did not see any information or clues about the imprisonment of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members in these taboos.
At the same time, judging from these taboos, this place doesn't look like a place of imprisonment...
