If the deep well in front of us occupies most of the area of the giant fortress, and the passage outside is connected to the deep well, then the practitioners coming from the passage outside are likely to enter the deep well in front of us.
The final choice of the cultivators who entered the deep well was likely to be the same as Yang Qi and the other three, to explore upwards. The reason was simple, because if the downward exploration failed, it would take too much energy and time. Exploring upwards was the most correct approach, and even if the direction was wrong, they could quickly turn back.
Therefore, upon hearing Yang Qi's words, the three of Emperor Jiuyan nodded, and then the four of them continued to investigate upwards, just as Yang Qi expected. On the following journey, they found some familiar practitioners, until they found practitioners entering other entrances, Yang Qi's previous guess was also completely confirmed.
However, after all the investigations along the way, Yang Qi and his three companions did not gain anything else. Apart from the deep well itself and the practitioners who entered it, there were no other living creatures, or even some special things.
In this way, Yang Qi and others soon met up with Emperor Tianyu and his three companions. The strength and means of Emperor Tianyu and his three companions were relatively weak, so they were not traveling very fast. In addition, they intentionally stayed and waited for other practitioners, which enabled them to meet up with Yang Qi and his three companions so quickly.
After traveling for a distance, Yang Qi and his companions met Emperor Yaoyue and his two companions. After joining Emperor Yaoyue and his two companions, the number of people in Yang Qi and his companions had reached ten. Among the teams of practitioners who were investigating nearby, they undoubtedly had the largest number of people.
Just as everyone continued to search upwards, Yang Qi's expression suddenly changed. His figure, which had originally leaped upwards, also stopped after falling down.
“Fellow Daoist Xuxing…” Seeing Yang Qi suddenly stop, Emperor Jiuyan and others immediately looked at Yang Qi.
Not to mention that Emperor Jiuyan and others knew Yang Qi inside and out, even Ling Yan and others knew that Yang Qi was not an ordinary late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor. His own strength was considered top-notch at the peak Martial Emperor level, and in some aspects he was even not weaker than the second-level peak Martial Emperor.
Now Yang Qi suddenly stopped, and everyone understood that Yang Qi might have discovered something, otherwise he would never stop for no reason.
"There's a force above me that makes the blood in my body fluctuate and cause my heart to palpitate." Yang Qi said solemnly.
Um
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Emperor Jiuyan and others suddenly changed, because they all knew clearly how powerful Yang Qi's special bloodline was. Whether it was Emperor Yaoyue's origin bloodline or Ling Yan's divine bloodline, it seemed that they were not as good as Yang Qi's special bloodline.
The existence that could make the blood force in Yang Qi's body feel palpitations was definitely an extremely terrifying one. Even a cultivator at the level of Emperor Jiuyan would not dare to say that he could withstand that level of danger.
“Fellow Daoist Xu Xing, what you mean is…” Ling Yan said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi did not intend to hide anything and said directly, "There may be dangers above us that we cannot resist."
hiss~
When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but gasp, but they did not have any doubts about Yang Qi's words, because they knew that Yang Qi could not lie about such a thing.
Zhao Lin looked at Emperor Jiuyan and Ling Yan, and then asked, "Should we continue to investigate upwards?"
Everyone chose to enter the giant fortress for the precious opportunities inside, not to die. Now that they knew there was a danger above that they could not resist, it was obviously not a wise move to continue to explore upwards. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Lin asked such a question. Not only Zhao Lin, but also several other peak martial emperor practitioners in the team looked at Emperor Jiuyan and Ling Yan, waiting for their decision.
"Let's continue. We haven't met up with Fellow Daoist Wu Shi and his group yet. And although there may be dangers above that we cannot resist, so many practitioners are investigating upwards. Fellow Daoist Wu Shi and his group may not be an exception." Ling Yan paused for a moment and continued, "If we really find any danger, it won't be too late for us to evacuate."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiuyan nodded slightly and said, "I have no objection."
It was impossible for Emperor Jiuyan to ignore Emperor Wushi and the other two, so Ling Yan decided to continue investigating. He naturally had no reason to object, after all, that was what he thought.
“Master and I have the same blood. Since I can sense palpitations, he can probably sense it too.” Yang Qi glanced at everyone and continued, “Since Master and the others are still investigating upwards, it means that danger will not come so soon, otherwise Master and the others would have retreated long ago.”
Seeing that Yang Qi and the other two said this, the other practitioners in the team naturally had no objection. However, even so, when they continued to investigate upwards, their speed began to slow down a bit.
I don’t know if Yang Qi and his companions were lucky, but after continuing to explore for a while, Yang Qi and his companions finally sensed the breath of the four people of Emperor Wu Shi. The four people of Emperor Wu Shi, who also sensed Yang Qi and his companions, chose to stay where they were, waiting for Yang Qi and his companions to approach.
After a while, Yang Qi and his group finally met up with the four men of Emperor Wu Shi. At this point, the fourteen practitioners in the team finally gathered together again.
Yang Qi looked at the Wu Shi Great Emperor in front of him and quickly asked, "Master, have you ever sensed..."
"Are you talking about the fluctuation that makes the special blood in our bodies palpitate?" Emperor Wu Shi looked at Yang Qi and said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
“I sensed it.”
Emperor Wu Shi nodded slightly, and continued, "Although I sensed the fluctuations that made the bloodline power palpitate, there was no danger nearby, so we decided to continue to explore upwards."
I see!
This is similar to what Yang Qi and others did. After all, the top of the deep well has not been fully explored, and it is impossible to give up just because there may be dangers ahead.
Therefore, after meeting up with the four people of Wu Shi Great Emperor, Yang Qi and his group decided to continue to explore upwards. However, after exploring for a while, they found that they could already sense the size of the entire deep well. This means that the deep well is becoming narrower and narrower as it goes upwards. Otherwise, with Yang Qi and his group's cultivation level and perception ability, it would be impossible to sense the scope of the entire deep well.
The expression of Emperor Wu Shi became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The well is starting to narrow. It seems that we will soon reach the end of the well."
The speed at which the well narrowed was increasing. At this rate of change, it would not be long before the top of the well would be completely closed. As everyone knew, the giant fortress connected heaven and earth, and the top of the well was probably not really closed. So the end of the well should naturally be closer than the expected closing position.
