Chapter 35: The Shadow of the Cave (Part I)

[Qianqian]. to provide you with wonderful reading.

In the secluded fantasy world, although it is a cave by itself, it is still much inferior to the Lingji Cave that Shao Heng entered at the beginning.

Lingji Cave Heaven is already a semi-desolate world, like rootless water, slowly degrading. But even so, the rich aura in it not only gave birth to countless spirit beasts, but the sun, moon and stars in it are still operating normally, with the phenomenon of spring and autumn withering and glory.

But the Wandering Illusion is different.

At the beginning, Shao Heng saw a sphere that did not know whether it was the sun or the moon, always hanging high in the air in a fixed position, never changing, and not feeling any temperature, as if it was just embellished by an ink painting.

And in the whole fantasy world, whether it is mountains, rivers or plants and trees, they all present an extremely monotonous and even unchanging state.

The river is almost stationary, and there is no wind in the air.

This grass is rooted here, and it doesn't seem to be shaking a bit.

The only thing that is always flowing is the gray fog around us.

Shao Heng didn't stay too much in the first two floors, and went directly to the third floor. At this level, the gray in the field of vision is thicker, and the dark gray sphere in the sky seems to be larger.

Although the secluded illusion is not a complete cave sky, the third layer of it seems to be a vast area, which makes Shao Heng somewhat admire the person who created the Star Luo Sect.

Cunwei Mountain has existed for more than 5,000 years and has been passed down countless famous names.

But it doesn't mean that these sects that have stood in Shenzhou for thousands of years are really just passing by, even if they are declining now, they still have a deep heritage.

As soon as he reached the third floor, Shao Heng saw a small pool of still lake water in front of him.

The brilliance is like a gray mirror, with a hint of silver.

"This is the soul water? Compared to the first two small wells, it is indeed much larger, and the aura is also stronger. Shao Heng walked to the lake and was about to take out the cold crystal bottle, but the shadow that appeared in the water startled him.

The first two layers of soul water are located in deep wells, and the light is dim in the secluded illusion, and Shao Heng does not see the reflection in them. Therefore, at this time, when he looked at the portrait that clearly printed him, he was a little caught off guard.

The one on the water who looked back at him silently was Shao Heng's true image.

This gargle of soul water rinsed away the phantoms, stripped away all the illusions covered by the Heavenly Illusion Bead, and only the most real him remained.

That face, Shao Heng hasn't seen for several years. Since infiltrating the Star Luo Sect, except for the time when he met Qin Er and recovered his appearance once, he has never lifted the illusion of the Heavenly Phantom Bead.

Seeing his original appearance in the mirror like this, Shao Heng actually had a sense of absurdity in his heart: Is this person in the water really himself?

Compared with Qin Xiu's extremely ordinary appearance, the reflection in the water is naturally delicate and handsome, but the warmth in those gentle eyes like a spring breeze disappears, leaving only the cold stars and cold glows.

These feelings were fleeting, and the next moment Shao Heng frowned, and he finally realized what he had always thought was a little weird.

Starting from the fourth layer of the Secluded Illusion, only monks are allowed to enter it in the form of a soul. He drank the soul water, and after the primordial spirit was separated from the body, if he met others, he would inevitably discover his true appearance.

Although Shao Heng became a golden pill, the Yuan Shen was still weak, not stronger than the Yuan Ying Cultivator, and naturally he had never tried whether the Heavenly Illusion Ghost Bead could have the same effect.

"No wonder Luo Yukun said that he had to find a safe place in the third or even second layer. Shao Heng frowned again.

The spirit is out of the body, and the physical body is defenseless, almost slaughtered by others.

Although now, almost all the other Earth Demons and Elders who are qualified to enter the Netherworld have used the opportunity, Elder Hertel is from the Wu Clan, and his cultivation methods are different, so he has never entered this place, but this does not mean that Shao Heng is absolutely safe in it.

In addition to the phantom demons that exist in the seclusion illusion itself, it is said that there are prisoners imprisoned by the Star Luo Sect in the latter layers. Most of these prisoners were top-level monks who once dominated the party, but after being captured for various reasons, they were destroyed and thrown into the deepest depths of the seclusive illusion, and they could not be reborn forever.

Of course, these people were imprisoned in the seventh and eighth of the Secluded Illusion Realm, according to Luo Yukun's warning, Shao Heng would go to the sixth layer at most, and as for the final ninth layer of the illusion, even Luo Yukun didn't know what was in it.

However, since Dugu Xing has the Yin Key in his hand, as the son of his elder and sect master, it is just a matter of raising his hand to send someone into the secluded illusion.

Next to the soul water, Shao Heng took out two cold crystal bottles, one was given by Duguxing and the other was given by Luo Yukun, he filled the two thin bottles with soul water, and then floated away.

In the mountains of the third layer, there are indeed many old caves left by the predecessors, and even some prohibitions still have residual power. Shao Heng did not follow Luo Yukun or Duguxing's instructions to find the two places they proposed.

He took a long detour, and instead of choosing to be in the mountains, like the others, he carved out a simple place in the ground in a very desolate and barren plain valley for the rest of his body.

Shao Heng infiltrated the Star Luo Sect and worshiped under the Illusion Sect, whether it was formation or illusion, he was no longer the kid who only knew the fur at the beginning. He dug up his dwelling, restored the surface of the entire valley to its original state, set up a formation prohibition, and then dived underground.

It was just a temporary place, Shao Heng sat cross-legged on the ground directly, took out two cold crystal bottles filled with soul water, and thought while playing.

He originally thought that there might be Fu Anning and other accomplices hidden in the illusion, but at this time, this probability was greatly reduced, and Shao Heng couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.

He is not a saint, although the seal of the Lianyun Mountain Range is related to the lives of thousands of people in the Eastern Continent, but one of the biggest factors for Shao Heng to infiltrate the Star Luo Sect is that he thought that the series of events were all related to the Star Luo Sect.

And now, there are obviously clues that the Star Luo Sect is involved, but no evidence has ever appeared.

Dugu's father and son were bent on the Wu clan in southern Xinjiang, and they didn't see any idea of annexing the Central Plains.

After Shao Heng was disappointed for a moment, he regained his spirits: he finally entered this secluded illusion, and he should wait for the investigation to be complete before making a conclusion.

The two cold crystal flasks have similar shapes, but their origins are different.

There should be no problem with the soul water, but Shao Heng has some doubts about Duguxing's special gift of this cold crystal bottle.

Even if he is a "newcomer", but with Luo Yukun here, he will not know that he needs this bottle made of the thousand-year-old cold crystal of the West Sea to fill the soul water.

In addition, Duguxing's "kind" gestures several times today made Shao Heng feel that there was some conspiracy behind it.

However, after Shao Heng carefully examined the two translucent bottles, he did not find anything unusual.

He took the Nine Ghost Bundle Soul Pill, so he was naturally in the same boat as Luo Yukun.

After pondering for a while, Shao Heng took the cold crystal bottle given by Luo Yukun and drank all the soul water in it.

As soon as the cold soul water entered his mouth, a bone-piercing coldness instantly spread throughout his body, making Shao Heng couldn't help but tremble, and the next moment Shao Heng felt that his brain began to "suddenly" jump, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

In the sea of knowledge, the stars are bright, and the snow-capped mountains tremble lightly.

Shao Heng gritted his teeth, his heart moved, and the whole world was different.
