Nine revolutions of the soul, the banks of the River of Forgetfulness.

Endless Yellow Springs, repent and be saved.

The disciples who were teleported into the Secret Territory did not scatter as they had feared. Instead, they were all teleported to the same place — a barren desert. There were actually nine blazing suns hanging in the sky. As soon as they stepped into the desert, everyone felt an uncomfortable dryness and stuffy heat.

The endless yellow sand, aside from a stone tablet with two lines of words at the entrance of the secret realm, there was nothing else.

But this was not enough to make the cultivators' hearts waver. What really caught them off guard was —

"I can't use my magic!"

"I can't take out the things in the Sumeru Ring!"

"My storage bracelet is the same!"

Not only magic, but even the talisman cultivator's talismans could not take effect here. The storage bracelet could not be used. This was really a bad start.

"Young Martial Uncle, what should we do now?"

The disciples of the nine sects each occupied a place. Among them, the Seven Sword Sect and the Soaring Firmament Faction quickly calmed down after a short period of panic. While the other sects were bewildered, they began to think of countermeasures.

Gou Liang looked at the stone tablet, patted Martial Nephew Zi Jing's shoulder and said, "Don't be impatient. Speak less and save your saliva."

Martial Nephew: "…"

The drinking water was in the Sumeru Ring. They did not have a drop of water or a mouthful of food. This was a sad fact.

The disciples of the Soaring Firmament Faction began to comprehend the message on the stone tablet under the leadership of Li Minghua. The disciples of the other sects quieted down one after another and followed the Soaring Firmament Faction to surround the stone tablet and ponder. In this empty place, aside from the sand, there was only this stone tablet. It was impossible not to attract attention.

Only the disciples of the Seven Sword Sect did not move. They followed Gou Liang's lead and listened to his instructions not to be impatient. Naturally, they did not dare to act rashly.

Mo Yinchu looked around. The spiritual energy in this place was thin, and there were nine suns hanging in the sky. Everywhere was strange. However, he didn't feel hot at all. Compared to other people who were sweaty and sticky, his body was very refreshing. Mo Yinchu knew that this was all because of the inconspicuous clothes he was wearing that were no different from the sect's disciple attire.

He looked at Gou Liang and saw that his expression was calm and that he was similarly refreshed and sweatless. He then retracted his gaze.

Gou Liang squatted on the ground and held a handful of yellow sand in his hands. The sand flowed through the gaps between his fingers. With the degree of dryness of the sand, this place was indeed silent all year round. It would be difficult to find a water source even if one went deep into the surface. Feeling Mo Yinchu's gaze, he raised his head and looked at him. Dusting his hands, he got up and walked towards him. He asked in a low voice, "What did you see?"

Mo Yinchu stared blankly for a moment. He was surprised that Mo Yinchu would ask him such a question, but he still answered truthfully, "There is a formation set up here, and all kinds of strange phenomena have been created because of it. I can't see anything else."

He had only dabbled a little in formations, relying on his greater knowledge and insight than others to make such a judgment. If he wanted to break the formation, he would be powerless.

Moreover, the pressure of the formation did not come from the yellow sand underground, but from the nine illusory suns. There was no trace of the formation being set up, as if it was completely natural. Although there were also array cultivators among these young people under the age of forty, they probably didn't have the ability to find the eye of the array.

Compared to the silence of the people of Seven Sword Sect, the people surrounding the stone tablet were much more lively.

"The word tablet says that the soul turns nine, and the number corresponds to the nine suns in the sky. The bank of the River of Forgetfulness should be the entrance to the secret realm. The water of the River of Forgetfulness should be the water of the River of Forgetfulness, and this endless Yellow Spring … Sigh, this place is called the Yellow Spring Secret Realm correctly."

"What kind of trash are you talking about? Isn't it obvious? Tell me about the mystery of the inscriptions on the tablet. How should we break the formation? Are we just going to follow what it says about repenting and being saved, and go back like this? "

"Even if we want to leave, we have to find the way out, right? Stop arguing. I think the mystery might be hidden on the stone tablet, and the inscriptions on the tablet are just a smokescreen. "

Everyone expressed their own opinions. Some people had already begun to explore the stone tablet to see if there was a mechanism, but obviously, they were destined to be disappointed.

The hot and stuffy weather made people impatient and restless. The water in their bodies was continuously lost along with their sweat. The discussion around the stone tablet gradually stopped, and the silence was somewhat heavy. However, no one gave up on studying the stone tablet. However, the futility of not having any clues magnified the irritation in their hearts.

Someone suddenly muttered, "What are the people of the Seven Sword Sect doing? Could it be that they want to wait for us to comprehend the mystery before reaping the benefits of others' hard work?"

The person who spoke was annoyed, but he didn't dare to challenge the people of the Seven Sword Sect. In this place where transcendence energy couldn't be used and everything depended on one's fists, if they didn't deal with them, they would be at a disadvantage in the hands of sword cultivators who focused on body refinement.

Li Minghua, who was deep in thought, turned around and glanced at Gou Liang. He saw him raise his hand to block his eyes and look up at the sky. From time to time, he would change his direction. He couldn't tell what he was doing.

Just as he was about to go over and ask Gou Liang or ask him to come over and help, he heard someone cry out in surprise, "There are words! There are also words on the back of the stone tablet! "He quickly retracted his thoughts.

In a short fifteen minutes, every inch of the stone tablet had been explored by them. The back was completely empty. Where were the words?

The Jadefall disciples who discovered the mystery said with certainty, "There really are words! I can see them from here!"

Some impatient people pushed him aside and stood where he was just standing. However, they didn't find anything and felt that they had been fooled. That Jadefall disciple's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands together and said, "I know! So this is what it means to repent and be saved! You have to carry the stone tablet and look behind you to see the hidden inscriptions! "

Everyone tested it out. Sure enough, it was true.

The inscriptions on the back of the stone tablet read:

Demons and monsters, little ghosts are difficult to deal with.

Meng Po's yellow soup, the past is broken.

Ferrying and asking, where do you want to go?

This was another difficult problem. However, no one was discouraged this time. With the first inscription's mystery deciphered, they believed that the inscriptions would give them the next step and lead them out of this damned place.

After another fifteen minutes, the disciples felt their mouths and tongues dry up. They unconsciously began to swallow. There were also female cultivators who began to feel dizzy. They didn't know if it was because of the sun or dehydration.

Cultivators who entered the Secret Realm were at least in the early stage of Jindan. Their physique had long been reborn, so they shouldn't be this weak. But in fact, even Li Minghua felt a little overwhelmed. And they also knew that this probably had nothing to do with their physique, but was caused by the strangeness of the Yellow Spring Secret Realm.

While Li Minghua was turning over and over to decipher the meaning of the inscriptions, Yunxiao Ancestor suddenly spoke from his jade pendant, "This place is a natural formation. The formation extends from the sky to the earth. The eye of the formation is most likely related to the nine suns in the sky."

Li Minghua was pleasantly surprised. "Ancestor, how should this grand-disciple break it?"

This question was extremely inaccurate. Asking a pill cultivator ancestor how to break the formation was as rude as asking a sword cultivator whether he understood embroidery. However, Yunxiao Ancestor didn't bicker with Li Minghua. He knew it was because the formation made people restless. Thereupon he said, "That Seven Sword Sect kid has been staring at the sun for a long time, he should have glimpsed one or two mysteries. You go and test him, see if he has a way to break the formation."

Li Minghua once again turned his head to look at Gou Liang. By this time he had already stopped his observation. He was supporting a swaying Seven Sword disciple and asking something.

After making up his mind, Li Minghua stepped forward with a face full of concern. "Lu Xun Xiong, what happened?"

Seeing him, Gou Liang did not give him any face like before. Instead, he anxiously said, "Minghua Xiong, please take a look at Zijing Shizhi. He is a body refiner, he shouldn't be unable to withstand this extreme heat."

Li Minghua was also aware of the changes in their bodies, but he couldn't see what was wrong. Since he wanted to pry into the mysteries from Gou Liang, naturally he had to give him some benefits first. Thereupon he apologized to Yunxiao Ancestor and asked him to make a move.

Li Minghua checked Zijing's pulse. Right at this moment, Mo Yinchu suddenly felt a breath that made him feel both disgusted and afraid. But when he looked around, he didn't find anything.

"What's wrong?"

Gou Liang came over and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Mo Yinchu shook his head. His gaze swept past Li Minghua's body. His expression was normal as he said, "I'm just a little thirsty. It's no big deal. Master, don't worry."

His feeling couldn't be wrong. Although he didn't know what it was, it definitely had something to do with the Upper God Realm. It had something to do with the people who had once chased after him.

Could it be … that in that explosion, there was someone else who was lucky enough to survive like him?

Thinking of this, Mo Yinchu's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Li Minghua retracted his hand and said with a heavy expression, "He's not weak because of the extreme heat, but because he's been poisoned by the fire poison."

"What?"

Everyone was paying attention to the movements here. Hearing this conclusion, the people gathered around the stone tablet all walked over.

"Lord Minghua, you're saying that we've been poisoned?"

Li Minghua also panicked when he heard this from Ancestor Yunxiao. He suppressed it and said, "Yes, this poison comes from the sun's essence fire. It's very powerful. Now that we've all been poisoned, if we can't detoxify it as soon as possible, the Aurous Core stage cultivators won't last more than ten hours. Even Brother Lu Xun and I won't be able to escape. "

After a pause, Li Minghua smiled bitterly, "There are antidotes, but I can't take out the things in the Sumeru Ring. Right now, I'm afraid that we can only leave this place as soon as possible and take out the antidote to save our lives."

Everyone's heart sank when they heard this. At this time, someone with sharp eyes saw that Gou Liang's palm had condensed water droplets that gradually gathered. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Lord Lu Xun, can you use your spiritual power?!"

Gou Liang glanced at the person who spoke and didn't answer. There were also sharp-eyed people who saw the trick.

It turned out that Gou Liang used three low-grade spirit stones to set up a simple array. Relying on the spiritual power contained in the spirit stones, he condensed the water droplets. They relied on storage magic tools, but at this time, they felt that they had made a mistake. If they had prepared spirit stones like Gou Liang, they wouldn't have been in such a passive situation.

Gou Liang handed the water in his palm to Mo Yinchu and said, "Drink it."

Mo Yinchu was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment. Gou Liang chuckled and repeated, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink it quickly."

He moved his hand closer to Mo Yinchu's mouth.

Mo Yinchu came back to his senses and met Gou Liang's caring and gentle gaze. For a moment, he had mixed feelings. He could feel the other party's meticulous care. That gentle attitude could be called meticulous care. Mo Yinchu had lived for more than ten thousand years. Even when he was in the middle of the Heaven Realm, he had never been so considerate and taken care of. For a moment, he was at a loss. Under Gou Liang's urging, he obediently lowered his head and drank the water in his palm.

[Ding, the target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 5!]

His dry lips touched the delicate skin of Gou Liang's palm. He turned his hand slightly and cold and moist water flowed from Mo Yinchu's lips to his dry tongue. It slid down his sore throat and took away the mania caused by the fire poison.

Mo Yinchu drank three mouthfuls before avoiding Gou Liang's hand. He said in a low voice, "Master, drink it. Your disciple is not thirsty anymore."

Gou Liang took the opportunity to drink a few mouthfuls of water before handing over the three spirit stones that still had spiritual power to them to Martial Nephew Seven Swords. He said, "Feed some to Zijing first, soak it in your mouths and tongues."

Martial Nephew Seven Swords happily took the spirit stones and drank the water.

The disciples of the other sects were envious. They looked at each other. A fat disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect came forward and asked, "Supreme Lu Xun, may I ask if there are any extra spirit stones for us to use? When we get out of here, we will definitely thank you. "

Gou Liang, who treated his disciples like a spring breeze and a drizzle, turned his head and said with a smile, "Sorry, I just happened to put the spirit stones outside the Sumeru Ring. I don't have any extra."

Although the disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect was disappointed, he did not doubt Gou Liang's words. After all, who would put the spirit stones outside the storage artifact for no reason? Li Minghua heard the reservation in his words. Just because there were no extra spirit stones, it did not mean that there were none left. However, he did not expose Gou Liang at this time. He only said, "I see that Brother Lu Xun is calm. I wonder if you have a way to leave?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Gou Liang again.

Gou Liang did not keep them in suspense. He said, "This place is probably a natural formation. As long as it is a formation, there will naturally be a way to break it. However, I am a sword cultivator from the mortal world. My knowledge of formations is not as profound as Brother Minghua's. Therefore, we have to rely on Brother Minghua to break the formation. "

He pushed everyone's hope and expectation of survival back to Li Minghua. The latter's face stiffened and said, "I can't even see through the formation. I am really ashamed."

Mo Yinchu looked at Li Minghua. He felt Li Minghua's malice towards Gou Liang. This malice was even more obvious than the first time he saw Li Minghua and Gou Liang fight over him. Although he tried his best to hide it, his eyes flashed with killing intent towards Gou Liang.

Mo Yinchu frowned slightly and became vigilant in his heart.

He was willing to think that Li Minghua's malice was directed at him, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Thinking about how Li Minghua wanted to take him as a disciple for no reason at the Immortal Destiny Conclave, and how he did not hesitate to use the pretense that he was destined to be his disciple, Mo Yinchu was already certain of his guess.

It seemed that someone had indeed survived the explosion.

And that person was now beside him.

Let's see if he would take his life first, or … let's see if he would first destroy this High God guest's spirit.
