In the distorted region of time and space, the conventional way of perception is not worth relying on, and the perception system established by human beings in a stable space-time is shaken once its foundation is shaken, the entire perceptual edifice will immediately collapse.

Feeling the shattered picture in front of him, the terrible sound in his ears like a demon screaming, and the spiritual storm that seemed to directly tear at his internal organs, Wang Jiu sighed secretly in his heart.

This is what befell the expedition team three hundred years ago.

The distortion of space-time is not a linear superposition, and after reaching a threshold, a qualitative change will suddenly form. As a result, the investigation team instantly loses the ability to perceive the outside world at the moment of crossing the gap. Among them, the more advanced the cultivator, the more serious the impact will be.

Because for people who are not yet cultivated, the conventional five senses are still an important means of perception, and at the same time, in the world of the Immortal Dao, it is common for the five senses to be distorted, so when encountering sudden changes, they will not be too flustered.

However, for people with advanced cultivation, perceiving the outside world is more dependent on the primordial spirit to touch the spiritual wind of heaven and earth, and the laws of the Great Dao, this way of perceiving is more sophisticated and more refined, and it is usually not affected by ordinary interference means, but the inevitable side effect is that this way of perceiving is also highly fragile.

It's like a strong perfume can destroy a dog's sense of smell. If an immortal cultivator is highly dependent on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Wind and the Great Dao Law as the medium of perception, once time and space are shaken, in the face of the distorted violent spiritual wind, the immortal cultivator will be dizzy at best, and the Yuan Shen will be severely injured.

And the Holy Sect's inspection group back then had too many masters who did not rely on the five senses, so the moment they crossed the boundary of the gap, they encountered a catastrophe.

However, for the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, the super adaptability of time and space is innate, although the channels used to perceive the outside world within the sword world, such as the Dragon Yin Flower and the Hundred Lock Vine, do not have the flexibility of time and space, but Wang Jiu, the sword spirit, is accustomed to the distortion of time and space, so even if the signal from the outside world is distorted, as long as it is processed by the sword spirit, it can be immediately restored to the correct appearance.

So for Wang Jiu, the broken picture only lasted for a moment before it returned to normal.

The sea in front of him was as black as ink, and the clouds in the sky were as black and heavy as an iron cover, covering all sides in all directions, and a fleet of ships floated quietly on the sea not far away. The flagship of the first horse is made of silver and white, and it is made of high-quality dark silver, and its volume is amazing, it is 200 meters long and 50 meters high. If it is placed on land, it can be described as a giant, but in the boundless sea, it is like a lonely boat.

Behind the Xuanyin flagship, there are also three ships with a slightly smaller size, the hulls are made of different materials, but without exception they are rare materials that are rare on the Xiangzhou continent, so that the cost of the four ships alone is enough to make many people dumbfounded.

“…… It's the expedition. ”

Zhao Shenlu said softly.

"Well, I see the mark of the Holy Father." Wang Jiu's eyesight was better, and he had already seen the mark representing the Holy Sect on the side of the flagship, "Those people's investigations, it seems that this is the end of it." ”

"I don't have special training, and I suddenly encounter a gap in time and space, which is an inevitable result." Zhao Shenlu shrugged his shoulders, "Their results are not bad, judging from their position, they are a full five hundred meters away from the gap point, and when they are put on the Kyushu Continent, it can be called a small record, and they have really struggled for so long...... However, since the Qingzhou incident, no one has taken this kind of record seriously. ”

Saying that, Zhao Shenlu laughed: "It's really funny, back then, someone would really go from the main gate to the base camp of the business girl in Qingzhou." In order to protect her own property, the money-keeping girl spared no expense to build a set of thousand-year-old Qinghe Great Array with distorted time and space, and even people who were far away in Zhongzhou knew that they must not break into the front, otherwise there would be no place to die. But the large array of 100,000 spirit stones of the Shang girl could not even trap a young intruder, and the long river of time and space that had been confused for thousands of years was carried up by that person against the current to the core, and the large array was self-defeating. Later, the merchant girl was angry, and went to find the Xingyun Villa of the array to claim for theory, and she was willing to give up if she had to go bankrupt, and then Xingyun Villa smashed the pot and sold the iron and finally paid the down payment of the compensation and was wiped out by the demons. ”

Zhao Shenlu laughed a few times, and sighed again: "However, the Kyushu Continent was really full of talents back then, and the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, although I was the one who took the lead among the people who participated in the joke of the concubine back then." But rationally speaking, the Qinghe Great Array is really not something that anyone can break into, I looked outside the door for a while, and the Yuan Shen was taken by the Qinghe to be biased a little, let alone break into it in person. The person who can go against the current and reach the origin is really unimaginable, how powerful the supernatural power he is. I had always thought that even a few old guys from the Ten Thousand Immortal League would not be able to break the Qinghe Great Array lightly, and among the people I knew, only you could accomplish this feat. But when I asked you for confirmation, you denied it. Therefore, who broke the Qinghe Great Array back then really makes me curious. ”

Wang Jiu thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's me." ”

When Zhao Shenlu heard this, his whole person froze, and he almost fell directly from the air into the dark seawater.

"It's really you!? What are you doing in the Qinghe Great Array!? ”

Wang Jiu said seriously: "The scabbard I bought in the Sword Refining Hall under Concubine Shang is of inferior quality, and according to the sales contract at that time, I should be compensated more than three times, but the Sword Refining Hall was slow to fulfill the contract, so I had to find her to theorize." However, Concubine Shang herself was very credible, and handed over the compensation to me on the spot. ”

“…… What a reasonable reason! Wait, it turns out that you and she have been ...... since that time Hell, the merchant girl has been a profiteer all her life, and I don't know how many people have gone bankrupt, this kind of person has not been beaten to ashes by the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, but because of this reason, he has been able to form another fate with you? ”

Zhao Shenlu gritted his teeth for a long time, and then asked: "But when I asked about this back then, you obviously denied it!" ”

Wang Jiu said: "Because I promised Concubine Shang that I would never mention it to others, even if I was asked, I would resolutely deny it." ”

“…… So why is it suddenly admitted again now? Because you finally realize that I am a sweet and lovely woman more trustworthy than the dead girl who likes to show off her intelligence? ”

When Zhao Shenlu asked, there was no trace of expectation on his face.

Sure enough, Wang Jiu replied: "The statute of limitations period I agreed with her is 10,000 years, and now that the statute of limitations has expired, I can tell the truth." At that time, the person who broke through the Qinghe Great Array was indeed me, and the experience of breaking the formation was also very unforgettable for me, I was at the beginning of the sword path, and I also had a preliminary understanding of time and space, but the distorted and chaotic scene I saw in the Qinghe Great Array completely refreshed my understanding of time and space. ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "The concept of time and space, until the invasion of the demon race, was a top and difficult problem to solve in the Kyushu Continent, and those immortal cultivators who claimed to be able to understand the mysteries of time and space, eleven out of ten were liars. In the end, it was thanks to the demons who showed us the true meaning of space-time distortion that we solved several important theoretical problems. You were able to break through the Qinghe Great Array back then, I can only say that you really deserve to be my beloved man. ”

Wang Jiu said: "Back then, the breaking of the formation was not purely due to strength, I was born with time and space resistance, and ninety percent of the immortal magic powers in the Qinghe Great Array had no effect on me at all, so the cracking of many formations along the way was completely carried by brute force." Concubine Shang used the Qinghe Great Array to guard the house, which was indeed effective against other immortal cultivators, but it happened to be equivalent to missing a huge flaw for me. And she herself was unaware of this, and she was overconfident in the Qinghe Great Array, and arranged it in the back as a preparatory silver gate, and even did not start it for cost saving considerations. ”

“…… is really worthy of loving money as a concubine. ”

While sighing, Zhao Shenlu had already landed on the silver flagship.

When he landed, Zhao Shenlu stretched out his hand and gently wiped it on the deck, and his fingertips were suddenly stained with a layer of silver frost.

"This level of corrosion has been at least 1,000 years old. Unless it was the Holy Sect who purchased inferior Xuanyin, at least within a thousand years, even if it fell into disrepair, it would not allow the deck to corrode into powder. Zhao Shenlu said, pointing to the door leading to the cabin, "Do you think there will be living people inside?" ”

Wang Jiu said categorically: "Impossible. ”

In this special area of the Nethersea, space-time is highly distorted, and the closer you get to the core, the deeper the distortion becomes.

By the time this fleet stopped, there was already a huge gap between the time scale and the outside world.

"I didn't bring any measuring instruments, but the preliminary estimate is at least five times more, they have been missing for 300 years, considering the process and equilibrium value from the gap to here, the preliminary estimate is that they have spent at least 1,100 years in the Netherworld, and their natural lifespan will not exceed 300 years at most, that is, this should be an old corpse that has been aged for 800 years, and it is a little exciting to think about it."

As he spoke, Zhao Shenlu pushed open the door.

Behind the door, a howling wind blew in his face.

Zhao Shenlu turned sideways to avoid it without surprise, and then saw a cloud of pitch-black dust slamming on the ground.

Zhao Shenlu carefully avoided the dust, and at the same time took out a historical book to check the information of the investigation group that year, and said: "Judging from the volume of this dust, this should be He Hongrui?" ”

Wang Jiu glanced at it: "There are a large number of metal components, and it is indeed He Hongrui, the deputy captain who has refined the diamond body." ”

"The vajra body can't resist the thousand-year-old sea breeze of the Netherworld." Zhao Shenlu sighed, "In this way, I'm afraid there is no valuable information on the ship?" ”

"Not necessarily." Wang Jiu groaned for a moment, and the white sword slowly floated towards the passage inside the door, "Be careful, don't break the cabin." ”

"Don't worry, I'm also very experienced in this kind of corpse collection work."
