Chapter 2066: The Eighteenth Floor

"The Tao that can be told is not the real Tao!"

The old man stroked his long beard and said solemnly: "Things in this world are ever-changing and treacherous! I am just a lone boat on the Yangtze River. I need the help of you little friends to move forward."

Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "We are going in to rescue the four saints. I wonder what the senior is doing?"

"Okay, I will go with you and just borrow your breath of the living dead."

"Hmm?"

Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a vigilant look.

"Who is the senior?"

"Why ask more? Anyway, I won't tell you."

The old man's smile was quite cynical, and then he turned and walked towards the tall bronze door.

"There is a ban left by the Emperor of Burial Heaven inside the door. You can't get through without my guidance. If you want to save the four saints, just follow me."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned in place, watching the old man's back gradually moving away, with doubts in their hearts.

"Mr. Liang, this old man is so mysterious, I don't know what he is up to?"

"I think he is just being mysterious, his words are not to be trusted."

"Then why is he here? Is he a ghost prison monk or has another origin?"

Everyone was talking behind Liang Yan, because they couldn't see the old man's specialness.

The old man didn't have a trace of oppression from a saint, which made them have an illusion that he was a monk of the same level as themselves, but he just had the means to hide his breath.

Only Liang Yan and Ah Dai looked solemn.

While the two were hesitating in place, the old man had already walked a long way with a cane, and now he was almost at the bronze door.

In a moment, the other party would disappear in the crack of the door.

"Let's go, follow him!"

Liang Yan suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, thinking they had heard it wrong. Among them, the Supreme Demon Lord frowned and said, "Brother Liang, it is not clear whether this person is an enemy or a friend, so it is best not to believe his lies."

"If he had the intention to kill, we would have died long ago."

Liang Yan sighed, said nothing more, took the lead and took a big step forward along the bluestone road.

A Dai, of course, followed closely behind.

The others looked at each other when they saw this. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they trusted Liang Yan very much. They only hesitated for a moment before following one after another.

The group was silent and followed the mysterious old man to the bronze door.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the cold wind blowing out of the crack in the door became much milder after passing by the old man. It seemed that it was just an ordinary strong wind blowing in front of everyone, and the terrifying breath had disappeared.

Boom!

The bronze door was slowly opening, making a dull sound.

"Go in."

The old man tapped his cane, and his figure was like a leaf, passing through the crack of the bronze door and floating inside.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Liang Yan, but saw Liang Yan did not hesitate at all, pinched his fingers and flew away, followed the old man into the door.

"Mr. Liang has gone in, let's go in quickly."

Xue Mei and others did not hesitate at all, and also pinched their fingers and flew away, entering the bronze door one after another.

After passing through the door, the stars changed in an instant, and the space changed rapidly!

I saw a gray sky, dim and without a trace of spiritual energy.

There was a small island under my feet, about a hundred feet in radius, and outside the island was a surging sea, the sea water was black.

Gusts of strong winds blew from all directions, and many Tongxuan Zhenjun who were not good enough in cultivation were blown to the ground. Fortunately, there were the ancestors of the Jiehua, such as the Jisheng Demon Lord, who took action and used their magic power to dissolve the surrounding strong winds, so these people did not fall to the ground in embarrassment.

"Is this the eighteenth level of the Ghost Prison?"

Xue Mei, Old Man Yunhai, Li Yile and other cultivators all showed curiosity and released their spiritual consciousness to look around.

"Didn't they say that there is an entrance to the 'Reincarnation Realm' on the 18th floor? But I see only an endless ocean here, where exactly is the entrance?" said the old man Yunhai with a frown.

In fact, it's not just him, everyone has this doubt.

Because when the divine consciousness spreads out, you can only see the endless black sea, and there is nothing else.

"This sea water is unusual!"

Dugu Xin seemed to have discovered something, frowned, and walked slowly to the coast.

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly took out a spirit beast from the spirit beast bag, which was a "three-eyed spirit monkey", and put it over the black sea.

The spirit beast's induction was extremely sharp. Dugu Xin screamed as soon as he let go, and wanted to turn around and run away, but he couldn't move.

The next moment, its true spirit was separated from the flesh, and the flesh still rushed forward, but the true spirit fell into the ocean uncontrollably. After a wave of rolling waves, the breath of the three-eyed spirit monkey completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

There was an empty shell on the shore, which was the body of the three-eyed monkey, which had become a walking corpse.

Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they saw this scene!

Ziyun Jushi said in a deep voice: "Although the three-eyed monkey is not a powerful spiritual beast, the one of Dugu Daoyou has already reached the strength of Tongxuan Realm. It didn't even have the slightest power to resist, and its true spirit was sucked away just like that. This Black Sea is too terrifying!"

"That's right." Old Man Yunhai nodded: "Ask yourself, who among us can easily hook away the true spirit of a Tongxuan Zhenjun? If it were us flying over the Black Sea, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold on for long."

"But if we can't go out to sea, how can we find out where the Four Saints are?" Li Yile frowned.

"Yes."

Everyone was in trouble and all looked at Liang Yan, but Liang Yan looked at the old man.

"Senior, I wonder where this black sea comes from?"

"Here." The old man glanced at the distance and said with a smile: "This is the water of the Samsara Pond. Back then, there was a bridge for people to pass through. I remember it was called the 'Naihe Bridge', but unfortunately it is no longer there."

"Reincarnation Pond?"

Liang Yan glanced at the distance and saw howling wind and clouds of gray mist suspended above the sea, like hungry beasts that wanted to devour anyone.

"senior."

He was about to ask something more, but he saw the old man taking a step forward without any hurry and leaning on a cane.

This foot stepped directly on the sea!

Liang Yan's pupils shrank and he didn't make a sound. Instead, he observed the old man carefully, trying to see what strange things would happen around him.

As the old man took this step, bubbles suddenly appeared in the surrounding seawater, and it seemed that he was about to set off a storm.

But the strange thing is that when the old man took the second step, all the bubbles disappeared, and the originally restless sea gradually returned to calm, and everything seemed to have not changed.

In this way, the old man walked alone on the sea, always unhurried and calm.

"He just walked over like this?" Dumb frowned.

Liang Yan did not speak, but looked down at the sea, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Look."

Dui and others followed the sound and saw a series of footprints on the sea where the old man walked. These footprints rose and fell with the fluctuation of the sea water and never dissipated.

"this"

Jisheng Mojun, Li Yile, Dugu Xin and others looked at each other and finally understood that this old man was no ordinary person!

Liang Yan pondered for a moment on the shore, then suddenly took out his right foot and landed on the old man's first footprint.

Sure enough, the surroundings were calm and the sea water did not move at all.

Liang Yan took a deep breath, then stepped out with his left foot and stepped on the old man's other footprints. The surroundings were still calm.

Seeing this scene, everyone showed surprise.

"Tread in his footsteps and follow him."

Liang Yan didn't say any more nonsense, took steps, and walked on the sea following the old man's footprints.

Seeing this, the rest of the people looked at each other, and with Ah-Dai taking the lead, they also stepped on their footprints one after another, forming a long team on the sea.

Above the Black Sea, the wind was blowing, and clouds of gray mist surrounded the surroundings.

Every time the crowd took a step, the depressing feeling became stronger, as if there were thousands of sharp knives hanging above their heads. If they took a wrong step, these sharp knives would fall and pierce their hearts with thousands of arrows!

"Liang Yan, I always feel like something is wrong here." Ah-Dai frowned and secretly said to Liang Yan.

Liang Yan did not speak, but stared at the back of the old man in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a warning sign in his heart, and there was a feeling in the dark, as if there was a huge danger waiting for him ahead!

"Celestial induction?" Liang Yan's face changed slightly.

But at this moment, the old man in front suddenly stopped.

He stood still and waited for about ten breaths, then turned around and walked in the other direction.

Everyone was a little confused when they saw this, but Liang Yan suddenly realized.

"There is a powerful killing array hidden in this black sea! It is powerful enough to trigger my heavenly and human telepathy. With our cultivation level, if we make a wrong step, we will die immediately." Liang Yan said slowly.

After hearing this, Ah-Dai, Jisheng Demon Lord and others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

"A killing formation of this level must be the work of a saint!"

"Could it be that Emperor Burying Heaven arranged it himself?"

"It should be." Liang Yan nodded.

Dumb said again: "The killing array has not been triggered until now. Is it because we followed the footsteps of this old man?"

Regarding this question, Liang Yan didn't actually need to answer it. Everyone already had the answer in their minds.

"I guessed that the Buried Emperor would definitely have a backup plan on the 18th floor. I didn't expect such a terrifying killing array. It seems that he is not completely at ease with the two saints of soul and demon." The Demon Lord Ji Sheng said solemnly.

Liang Yan smiled: "The only person the Emperor Burial Heaven trusts is himself. Not to mention this, let's quickly follow the old man. He is now our only hope to find the Four Saints!"

"Um!"

Everyone no longer doubted, imitating the old man, everyone stopped where he stayed for ten breaths, and then turned right.

Next, the old man stopped and walked, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. In some places he paused for a quarter of an hour, but in other places he accelerated his pace.

Everyone tried their best to imitate it exactly, and followed closely behind the old man.

As they moved forward, they gradually discovered that there was more than one small island in the black sea. Following the old man's footsteps, they passed at least more than two hundred islands on the way.

Although these islands are not big, they are hundreds of miles in diameter. The islands are carved with dense patterns and exude a heart-stopping aura.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, except for the first island, the old man never landed on any island. Sometimes he would even change direction and take a detour just to avoid these islands.

After walking in the sea for about two hours, the old man led everyone around another island. Suddenly, he quickened his pace without warning, changed his calm look, and almost ran forward.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene and looked at Liang Yan in unison.

Liang Yan had already diffused his spiritual consciousness. At this moment, he was concentrating on the feeling. Suddenly he frowned slightly and shouted:

"Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and ran forward.

When the others saw this, although they were puzzled, they knew that Liang Yan's power of consciousness was much stronger than ordinary people. Looking at his anxious look, how could he have time to ask more questions? Almost everyone took steps and ran forward.

Boom!

Not long after, a stormy sea broke out on the Black Sea, and a million-foot tidal wave rushed into the sky!

The surrounding wind was raging, gray clouds were roaring, and powerful evil spirits swept in from all directions, making everyone running almost unsteady.

Plop!

A Tongxuan Zhenjun stepped on the air and stepped on the sea beyond the footprints.

The surrounding seawater immediately rolled and roared, and a big hand stretched out from below the sea surface and grabbed the man.

Even though all kinds of magical powers were hitting the surroundings, the big hand was not damaged at all, and the monk was quickly dragged into the bottom of the sea, and there was no longer any breath.

"quick!"

Liang Yan shouted while running: "We are about to leave the battle. We can't hide our breath anymore. Speed ​​up the pace. The exit is ahead!"

Just as he was talking, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea ahead!

The old man went straight to the whirlpool. When he got in front of it, he jumped without hesitation and jumped in!

Seeing that the opponent's breath disappeared, Liang Yan did not hesitate at all, followed the gourd's example, and jumped in like the old man.

"Jump!"

Ah-Dai and the others did not hesitate. They just listened to the sound of "plop" and "plop" falling into the water, and jumped into the whirlpool one after another.

Boom!

With a dull loud noise, the surrounding scenery was spinning.

Liang Yan felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. His body was out of control and he could only fall downwards. The whole process was very long and the surroundings were filled with eternal darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but Liang Yan finally landed.

Sensing that the power of confinement was lifted, he hurriedly activated his magic power and displayed the body-protecting aura, but even so, a deep pit was still made in the earth!

"This is where?"

Liang Yan didn't waste a moment and jumped out of the pit. At the same time, he released his consciousness and looked around.

All I saw was a barren black earth continent, with no mountains, no sea, and no aura. There were only a few faint lights floating in the air.

Looking further into the distance, there seemed to be a huge black shadow standing, reaching up to the sky and black earth below, making people feel a sense of fear for no reason.

The strange thing is that the oil lamps suspended around him cannot illuminate the black shadow, and when Liang Yan releases his consciousness to check, he can't see clearly what is in the black shadow.
