Chapter 739 Peeping in the Dark
Half a day later, Yang Chudie finished arranging a series of things, and Lu Yu said goodbye to Ling Yufei and others.
Several female disciples of the Bixiao Palace naturally wanted to go with them, but they also knew that there was a huge gap between their strength and the three people. If they followed, they would only be a drag.
Besides, Yang Chudie also assigned them a task, so they had to give up because of their duties.
So the three of them left Zhuguang Town and went deep into the darkness.
The Nine Netherworld is different from the laws of heaven and earth outside.
In the outside world, the dragon fish black tail can fly freely, but here it has to stop.
Because the terrain here is equivalent to the interlayer in the cave. Although the height is very high, there are often inverted rocks distributed in the air, forming layers of obstacles.
In addition, the environment is dark and gloomy, and the visibility is extremely low.
In such an environment, if the dragon fish black tail is spread out to fly at will, I am afraid that it will be hit in a short time.
Therefore, the three of them had to give up the advantage of flying with the black tail of the dragon fish, and even Yang Chudie's escape light could not be used, so they could only walk in the most primitive way.
This way of moving forward was a little slow, but it allowed the three of them to fully appreciate the style and charm of the Nine Netherworld.
Demonized spiders that were bigger than elephants...
Luminous man-eating plants that exuded beautiful colors...
Strange mosses that spread across the rocky mountains like blood vessels...
All kinds of strange things constantly subverted the cognition of the three.
Even Lu Yu had to admit that in this dark world, there were indeed strange scenery everywhere, but every thing in these scenery was full of unknown dangers...
"This is actually quite mild..."
As the three of them walked, Yang Chudie introduced it to Lu Yu and Ye Weilan.
"This place is called Jiuyou because there are nine layers of such a place, and each layer is more dangerous than the previous one, so it can be called Jiuyou. The first layer where we are now is relatively safe..."
"There is another saying in Jiuyou, called 'one Jiuyou and two ques'. In fact, each layer of Jiuyou contains two ques, which together make a total of 18 ques, so this place is also called the 18-layer area..."
"The Ten Thousand Swords Realm we are going to is at the end of the first que, connected to the second que..."
Ye Weilan asked: "So, the place we are going to is the entrance of the second que? Then Uncle Lu wants to go deep into the Ten Thousand Swords Realm, is it because his destination is the second que?"
As she said, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu.
The implication is very obvious. If Lu Tianying's destination is the second que, then Meng Feiyan is also likely to be imprisoned in the second que.
Yang Chudie said: "It's hard to say... The Ten Thousand Swords Realm is a very mysterious place. The area it connects is not just the Second Palace. In the biography of a senior master of our Dali Sword Sect, he even had the experience of entering the Third Palace directly from the Ten Thousand Swords Realm..."
"In addition, there is another entrance to this Nine Netherland, which is the entrance to the Youming Palace under the command of the Bixiao Palace. Previously, Yu Fei and others were entrusted by Lu Yu to enter the Nine Netherland from the entrance of the Youming Palace. They crawled around in it for more than half a year and recorded a lot of terrain and landforms. I studied the map they drew, but I made an amazing discovery..."
"The entrance to the Youming Palace is related to Although the entrances to Mingjian City both belong to the First Palace, the distance between them is very far. You need to go around a long way to get there. However, if you cross the Ten Thousand Swords Domain, the direct distance between the two is not far..."
"That is to say, there is actually a branch in the Ten Thousand Swords Domain that leads directly to the Youming Palace... It's just that it's not easy to enter this branch by crossing the Ten Thousand Swords Domain..."
The implication of her words is that the reason why Lu Tianying went deep into the Ten Thousand Swords Domain back then was probably just to sneak into the Youming Palace...
However, Lu Yu didn't quite agree with these two statements.
He shook his head and said, "Master also said that you found out about this clue by studying the map carefully, but father... didn't have such a source of information back then!"
"As for the second chae, I don't think it's the second chae either... because if the clue to my mother's imprisonment was the second chae, then he could just tell me directly. You know, the Ten Thousand Swords Realm is much more dangerous than the second chae. There is no need for him to deliberately mention the Ten Thousand Swords Realm to hide the information about the second chae from me..."
Until now, Lu Yu didn't know what level of cultivation his father had reached back then, but it was obviously impossible to be the peak of the True Yuan Realm as the people of the Lu family said.
Even if it was grandpa, what he saw back then was just the tip of the iceberg of his father's true strength.
However, Lu Yu could infer his father's true strength by reversing the Tianxing Sword Technique.
As his cultivation deepened, his understanding of the Star Sword Art became more and more thorough, and he could understand more and more how unfathomable this sword art created by his father was. It was because of this sword art that he was able to complete the entire sword art, so that the glory of the Star Sword Art would shine again in the world...
And his father was able to simplify this sword art that concealed the secrets of the starry sky and compile it into a sword art that could be practiced even in the physical realm. This was enough to prove that his understanding of the mysteries of sword art was at least at the level of a master.
With such strength, Lu Yu did not dare to say that he was already strong enough to defy the heavens, but at least it was impossible for him to fail in the second palace...
In addition, Lu Yu had another doubt in his heart that he did not say.
That was the will left by his father to him, which also revealed a determination to die.
What exactly was the reason that made him know that he was going to die?
All the answers were hidden in the mist of time.
Lu Yu hoped that this trip to the Ten Thousand Swords Domain would help him find the answer...
...
The three of them were moving forward like this, getting closer and closer to the Ten Thousand Swords Domain.
Suddenly, Ye Weilan stopped, with a vigilant look in her eyes.
As a member of the Yehua clan, her own power came from the netherworld, so her vision was not affected, and her ears and eyes were sharper than when she was in the outside world.
Seeing her performance like this, Lu Yu and Yang Chudie couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong?" Yang Chudie asked.
"I don't know... I have a very strange feeling, as if we are being watched by someone..." Ye Weilan replied.
Yang Chudie was stunned.
This scene seemed familiar...
When they were in Pingxi City before, Ye Weilan also said something similar, and later confirmed that they were indeed spied on by Bohai Palace Master Li Haitang at that time.
Now this situation has appeared again...
Is it another real strong man hiding in the dark and spying on them?
