Chapter 537 Weird, cracks. 4k

"Is there no writing on the monument itself, or has it been erased?"

Chu Mu stared at the blank jade tablet and thought a little. After a moment, he stroked the stone tablet. The jade was soft and cold in color. According to common sense, it must be a mild or cold spiritual material.

But when his spiritual consciousness sensed it, this square jade tablet was as violent as fire, and even contained traces of killing intent.

Chu Mu tried to find spiritual materials corresponding to these properties. In his knowledge, there were many spiritual materials with similar properties, but there was one that completely matched the various characteristics of this jade tablet...

Based on his knowledge, there is no clear answer.

A spiritual material that he was not aware of...

Chu Mu pursed his lips, and his consciousness flowed, covering the jade tablet. Just as there was no trace on the entire body, on the jade tablet, as far as he could sense it, there were no formation forbidden weapon patterns.

Chu Mu reluctantly observed it for a while, and finally had to admit that this jade tablet was really just an ordinary stone tablet.

Except that the jade itself may be a special spiritual material, there is nothing unusual about it.

There is even no observable connection with this square.

As for this square, it is much clearer.

The small square was surrounded by large formations from all directions.

Regardless of whether what Xie Yu said is true or false, there is some degree of credibility.

But this breaking of the formation is obviously unlikely to be false.

With his mind wandering, Chu Mu looked around at the dense fog. After a brief inspection, a rough conclusion emerged in his mind.

The outermost direct manifestation seems... to be a phantom array?

Chu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped out to the edge of the square. His consciousness was like a knife, and he used the knife to protect his spirit. He cautiously moved towards the edge of the fog to test.

The moment his consciousness came into contact with the mist, an indescribable feeling of restlessness surged into his heart. At the same time, the world seemed to be spinning again. Chu Mu's guarded mind suddenly lost control at this moment.

In just a short moment, there was another feeling of turmoil, and then, there was an evolution that was almost like a sea change.

He seemed to have returned to his previous life. Even though it was prosperous, all the flowers still had nothing to do with him. He was just as busy as before, wasting his life...

It’s like returning to the world of cultivating immortals. The existence of the spiritual light is exposed, and everyone in the world is an enemy. They are being hunted and killed everywhere. It is a heart-stopping despair...

It also seems that his cultivation has stagnated, and it is difficult to make any further progress. Day after day, no matter how hard he tries, he can hardly make any progress on the path to immortality. At the end of his life, he finally looks up to the sky and screams sadly, unwilling to perish, but there is nothing he can do. I can feel the decay and annihilation of the whole body's essence bit by bit...

In this square, it was just a moment, and under the loss of these little thoughts, for Chu Mu, it was an endless cycle of evolution like time flies and the vicissitudes of life.

hum!

I don't know when, there was a clear and crisp sound of a knife. The sound went from weak to deafening in just a short moment.

The sound of the knife passed through the sea of ​​consciousness, and the lost mind was instantly stabilized.

Chu Mu woke up from a dream, his face was pale, and when he looked at the billowing white mist in front of him, his eyes were obviously full of fear.

This fog, this illusion...

It can actually touch the deepest flaw in the heart of a creature!

He was so guarded and guarded, but his mind was also tempted to flaw, and he evolved into many illusions and reincarnations.

If it hadn't been for the guardian of the sword's will to wake him up directly, in such an endless illusion of reincarnation, the final outcome would probably be a blank body with all the energy drained out of his mind!

Chu Mu pondered for a moment, then gathered his thoughts and walked along the square. This time, he was obviously more cautious, trying to avoid direct contact with the white mist as much as possible.

About a quarter of an hour later, he seemed to notice something. He stopped at the edge of the square, raised his hand and saw the jade slip obtained by Xie Yu hanging in his palm.

The methods used by the Xie family to break the ban on entering this ruins cave several times are all clearly recorded in it.

The method used by the Xie family to break the ban is to find the node of this formation, break through all the methods with one force, and tear open a crack.

It's very simple and crude. The only problem is to grasp the speed that can defeat all methods with one force.

The method to break the ban was very clear, but at this moment, Chu Mu seemed to be hesitant.

He stood at the edge of the square and made no move.

After a while, he took another step, walked along the square, and once again carefully inspected the large formation covering the square.

According to the record on this jade slip of the Xie family, this square may be regarded as the first trial level of the ruins cave.

After passing this level, you will be officially qualified to enter the ruins trial.

But the question is... what is the significance of this formation's barrier?

If it is a guard, why is there no obstacle to that space portal? Let anyone come in or out?

Moreover, why is there still a "door within a door" when looking at this ruined cave from the outside?

It seems that from the moment this space portal appears to this square, although everything seems normal, it seems that everything is unusual.

The phantom formation in front of me seems to be...unusual...

Chu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he concentrated his mind. The sharp edge of the sea of ​​consciousness instantly turned into several sword barriers, completely covering his mind.

Once again, under strict guard, a ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated into the billowing white mist in front of him.

And this time...

It was still so abrupt, and the guarded mind was once again lost inexplicably. The endless illusion of reincarnation once again enveloped Chu Mu's mind.

But this time, when Chu Mu was prepared, it was also just an instant before his lost mind returned to stability.

Chu Mu moved his fingertips lightly, and several bluebird puppets floated out of the storage space. With a roll of his sleeves, they disappeared into the thick white mist in front of him.

Contrary to Chu Mu's expectation, this time, the connection between the several Bluebird puppets that were submerged in the billowing white mist was not erased. Although the looming perception was blurry, the connection with them was unquestionable.

But as Zhao Shuang said, the space here obviously has some unknown restrictions on the means of monitoring and taking photos. Even the third-level blue bird puppet and the photo formation made of sky mark crystals are difficult to record any information.

Chu Mu looked calm and silently led several bluebird puppets back. Then, under the seemingly puzzled gazes of Zhao Shuang and the others, he walked along the square again, and after circling it several times, he was able to stop.

But at this time, he raised his head and looked at the sky, which was also a vast expanse of white.

"It's not just the illusion array... there are other... unknowns?"

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, as if he had some realization, but the doubts in his heart became more intense.

With his cultivation level, despite being so tightly guarded, he was able to break through his defense without anyone noticing and disrupt his mind.

This is an extremely strange thing.

It can even be said that it is somewhat beyond his knowledge.

After all, according to his knowledge, any illusion formation, even the inner demon, has traces to follow.

The simplest point is that no matter how fragile his defense is, there must be a process when breaking through his defense.

As for the bewitchment of this illusory formation, there is no such process at all. The sword barrier that he is guarding tightly is as if it does not exist. As long as it comes into contact, it will be a direct disorder of the mind that ignores everything. As far as he knows about the formation system, there is no illusion formation that can do this.

It can even be said that it violates the structure of the system of formation.

The only explanation is his guess.

This billowing thick fog is definitely not just an illusory formation, there must be other unknowns as well.

This unknown, judging from his observations, is likely to be one or even several formations that he is not aware of.

Everything seems to be back to the starting point.

So and so, what is the intention?

Chu Mu was puzzled and deeply confused.

"senior……"

At this time, seeing that Chu Mu had not made any move to break the formation for a long time, Xie Yu summoned up the courage to call out softly.

Chu Mu lowered his head and glanced at the jade slip in his hand, then looked at Xie Yu who was full of anxiety. He nodded slightly: "Get ready to break the formation."

After uttering a brief sentence, Chu Mu said no more, let alone asked or tested.

Chu Mu is still somewhat confident about himself.

He couldn't detect any clues and was completely confused. Others, even if they were powerful enough to reach this point, must be the same.

After all, from what he had observed, the numerous anomalies were not due to differences in cultivation levels that were difficult to see, but more likely to involve a higher-level knowledge system that he had never been exposed to.

When it comes to a higher level of knowledge system, no matter how powerful the Nascent Soul Power is, without sufficient knowledge, it is obviously impossible to see many clues.

As for knowledge systems such as formations, those with high cultivation levels must have high cognitive levels. This has never been an equation.

All that can be done is what is recorded on this jade slip...to break through all the laws and do it by force...

In the current situation, it obviously doesn't matter whether Xie Yu concealed it or not.

And after breaking through this formation and officially entering the ruins, if it is really a random transmission and an infinitely evolving test level as recorded on the jade slips, then it will not matter whether it is concealed or not.

If it were not recorded on the jade slips... then it would undoubtedly be a better solution.

When they entered the ruins cave together, if it weren't for the random teleportation as recorded on the jade slip, Xie Yu wouldn't have been able to escape his control with his methods.

With his thoughts flowing, Chu Mu looked at the billowing white mist in front of him again and couldn't help but sigh softly.

If he is given enough time, it is not impossible for him to deduce this strange illusory formation bit by bit.

But obviously, this cave of ruins, which Fang only realized once in a lifetime, would not give him much time.

In this way, all he can do is obviously... force it.

As for the many anomalies here, whether the answer can be revealed depends on whether there is such an opportunity after actually entering the ruins cave.

With his thoughts flowing, Chu Mu didn't worry too much.

Following the method of breaking the formation recorded on the jade slips is not enough. For him, it is obviously the simplest thing to do.

He had already prepared all the necessary preparations during the previous retreat, and now he can use them directly...

In just about a quarter of an hour, everything needed to break the formation was ready.

Following Chu Mu's thoughts, a dot of ink black suddenly appeared on the flawless white square. Then, with this point of ink black as the center, lines that seemed to be outlined by the tip of a pen spread rapidly.

They criss-crossed and formed into a stream of ancient runes in an instant.

"Gather!"

Chu Mu shouted low, raised his hand to seal the secret, and poured the majestic mana into the characters.

At the same time, Zhao Shuang and the three of them also took sides, holding command flags. Following Chu Mu's low shout, they each waved the command flags, and the rays of light also disappeared into the characters one after another.

The ink-black light became more and more intense, and it was as thick as magma emitting black light. As mana was poured into it and blessed, the thick ink-black light slowly eroded away towards the white mist bit by bit.

The flawless white was suddenly stained with bits of almost dazzling black.

As time goes by, this dazzling black becomes more and more conspicuous, and the white mist surges, seemingly resisting the erosion of the black light.

But inexplicably, the resistance of the white fog seems to be quite weak. It seems that, except for the weird and extremely confusing mind, this vast white fog does not have a strong defense against the erosion of external forces.

The doubts in Chu Mu's heart seemed to be getting stronger.

For a cave, the existence of the formation is basically to separate the inside and outside to resist external enemies.

For a place of trial, the existence of the formation should be a test?

But the white mist in front of me seems to have nothing to do with these two points.

Weird but scary, scary but not too threatening...

Extremely blunt and abrupt!

As recorded on the jade slips, there was no abnormality in the process of breaking the ban. It was almost unbelievably smooth. A crack was torn apart in this strange but terrifying illusion array.

The crack extended rapidly in the thick fog, just like a natural passage, from the square, through the thick fog, to the distant unknown.

Everyone stood at the entrance of the crack, looking incomprehensible.

This time, Zhao Shuang walked to the entrance of the crack without waiting for Chu Mu to say anything. Then, after Chu Mu acquiesced, he slowly stepped into the dense fog passage under Chu Mu's gaze.

Wearing a green skirt, it is not difficult to see through the cracks between white and black, even with the naked eye.

In Chu Mu's field of vision, he almost watched the green skirt, from near to far, slowly away from the naked eye.

In the end, when the green skirt was about to disappear from the field of vision, the naked eye seemed to be slightly blurred, and the green skirt disappeared, leaving only a deep passage, and it was unknown where it led.

"Senior, according to clan records, when you enter this passage about ninety feet away, you will be randomly teleported to the trial place in the cave. During the teleportation process, your consciousness will be temporarily blurred, and the space will be more chaotic than normal teleportation. It's more serious..."

At this time, Xie Yu hesitated for a while, and then plucked up the courage to explain behind Chu Mu.

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, but he suddenly looked towards the space portal.

It is a simple space portal, but when I entered it just now, it seemed to be different from the normal teleportation...
