Chapter 130

"Boom!"

Countless text light shadows flew out from the blood-colored characters on the foreheads of the lingering spirit townspeople, attacking the giant-headed humanoid unknown creatures.

Li Youyi retreated quickly, propped up the Yin Banner, injected magic power continuously, and hid in the cyan light gauze to watch the battle. He really wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but his damn curiosity got the better of him, and his legs just wouldn't move.

These lingering spirit townspeople from Burial Xianzhen were too strange; they seemed to possess special consciousness, and their appearance in the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain was absolutely extraordinary.

The most critical thing is.

Li Youyi was not sure whether their awakening and the mutation of Burial Xianzhen were related to his sprinkling of blood that day; he wanted to figure out the secret and solve the doubts about his life experience.

"Judging from their aura, they are a big step stronger than when they first awakened."

Li Youyi carefully observed the various means of the lingering spirit townspeople and the giant-headed unknown creatures, accumulating experience so that if he encountered them again in the future, he would know what to guard against and how to deal with them.

The seven phoenix-winged moth-empresses were very nervous, all burrowing into his clothes, shivering.

A moment later, they couldn't help their curiosity and poked their heads out one after another. Seven heads stacked together, looking toward the battlefield where ghost fire was dancing.

The giant-headed unknown creatures were defeated and fled into the giant stone statue forest.

The lingering spirit townspeople, wrapped in ghost fire, took back their text light shadows, lined up in a neat row, and walked into the stone forest shrouded in Immortal Cloud mist.

They walked very slowly, not in pursuit. It was more like they were walking according to some consciousness; encountering Li Youyi and the giant-headed unknown creatures was just an accident.

The surroundings became quiet.

Li Youyi's tense muscle nerves relaxed, and he was preparing to leave this strange place.

A beautiful woman's voice suddenly sounded: "Follow them!"

"Who?"

He was shocked and immediately took out the iron book, looking around.

"Follow them!"

"Follow them..."

The voice was sometimes far and sometimes near.

When far, it was as if at the edge of the sky, as if in another space-time, as slight as the sound of the wind.

When near, it was like a whisper in his ear.

"Rustle!"

Li Youyi's injured left hand had blood turn into mist, which dissipated and flew around his body.

A pale red blood mist world appeared before his eyes; the gravel wilderness covered in weeds was rapidly decaying and molding, with a gloomy atmosphere.

A slender figure dressed in a grand red wedding dress appeared out of thin air in the blood mist, standing there quietly.

Li Youyi naturally knew who she was; his eyelids narrowed, his heart beat wildly, and for the first time, he seriously observed this Dao-protecting wife that Chan Hai Guan Wu had spoken of.

Her wedding dress was exceptionally gorgeous, with a dragon and phoenix pattern woven with gold and silver threads on the chest, lotus patterns on the cuffs, and a very large skirt trailing behind her, like long phoenix wings spread on the ground.

The four corners of the red silk bridal veil were hung with copper coins, covering her face, but he could see her slender, jade-like neck and part of her hair.

Only at this moment did Li Youyi truly believe that she existed; his heart was filled with shock and uncertainty, and he asked: "Who exactly are you? Do you really reside in my bloodline?"

She did not respond, as if she couldn't hear Li Youyi's voice.

"Follow them!"

That beautiful voice came from her body.

But it didn't seem to come from her mouth, but originated from the surrounding space.

Li Youyi was very cautious and asked: "Why follow them? Do you know who they are?"

"Follow them!"

It was still this voice that contained no emotion.

"Can you only say this one sentence?"

Li Youyi frowned tightly and suddenly stepped forward slowly, wanting to lift the veil on her head to see what she looked like.

But, just as his hand reached out, a cold aura rushed toward him.

His wrist was grabbed by the Dao-protecting wife's cold jade hand, stopping him.

"Follow them."

These three words sounded very much like they came from her mouth, incomparably clear, close at hand.

"Can't I look?"

Li Youyi mobilized his magic power to move his arm, but no matter how much power he erupted, he was completely unable to compete with her.

Her hand was extremely beautiful, every finger slender and soft, neither fat nor thin, like carved immortal crystal and divine jade. But just by resting lightly on Li Youyi's wrist, it froze his arm in mid-air, unable to touch the red silk veil.

"Not looking... then I won't look..."

Li Youyi had no obsession in his heart; he just wanted to know what kind of existence his Dao-protecting wife was. He slowly withdrew his hand, and the Dao-protecting wife's fingers also loosened.

Her fingers were cold; she was real.

On his chest, the seven phoenix-winged moth-empresses all widened their eyes; they had been looking forward to it, and now they were naturally disappointed and dejected.

She kept urging him to "follow them," and Li Youyi also wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he held the cyan Yin Banner and quickly followed the lingering spirit townspeople who had already walked into the giant stone statue forest. He carefully guarded the surroundings, worried about being attacked by giant-headed unknown creatures.

The Dao-protecting wife followed behind him, the tail of her wedding dress trailing on the ground, a full yard long.

She had great temperament, her head held high, a jade belt tied around her waist, one hand behind her back, and one hand pinching a finger seal in front of her chest, her whole body shrouded in blood mist radiance.

As she walked forward, the copper coins hanging on the four corners of the veil made a clinking sound.

"Master Lingwei, did you see it? This is the Dao-protecting wife that Chan Hai Guan Wu once mentioned. Can you tell her origin?" Li Youyi communicated with his mind.

In the blood mud space, the three masters were discussing intensely, all shocked by the strange situation on Li Youyi; the existence of the Dao-protecting wife exceeded their cognition.

Behind him, the hand of the Dao-protecting wife that was pinching the finger seal pointed forward with her index finger.

"Whoosh!"

A wisp of blood-colored radiance pierced through Li Youyi's body and hit the Buddha Relic on the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

A moment later, Master Lingwei's terrified voice came out: "Youyi, you should solve this matter yourself. We were just warned; we are not allowed to discuss it at all, and we almost had our souls scattered."

Li Youyi gasped and couldn't help but look back.

So overbearing?

In the mist in the distance, there were always footsteps and strange calls, but none of them approached.

He walked for nearly half an hour.

In the giant stone statue forest, a winding stone ladder ancient path appeared, and the lingering spirit townspeople walked up along the stone ladder.

Li Youyi keenly discovered that their footwork had become completely consistent, with the latter stepping in the footprints of the former. He naturally didn't dare to mess around and also stepped in their footprints along the stone ladder.

Every step he took, he dropped a coin under his feet to mark the position of the footprints.

He had countless money bags on him, and all kinds of coins were abundant.

On both sides of the stone ladder were giant stone statues of all sizes, which looked quite strange and creepy in the thick fog.

Some of the giant stone statues were broken, revealing a thick stone shell, inside which something had once been contained.

"So quiet, this place doesn't seem to be anything scary either."

After walking carefully for a while, in order to verify his conjecture, Li Youyi flicked a copper coin toward the ground on the right side of the stone ladder.

The copper coin fell to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

Where it fell, bright mysterious yellow radiance erupted, and countless complex and ancient spells, runes, and array patterns appeared on the ground and in mid-air simultaneously, releasing destructive energy such as lightning and heavenly fire.

All the giant stone statues shook incessantly.

In the void, scenes between reality and illusion, such as palaces, floating islands, and giant stone statues, were presented.

The lingering spirit townspeople walking in front stopped their steps in a hurry.

Li Youyi could feel the terror of those spells, runes, array patterns, lightning, and heavenly fire; once hit, he would definitely be reduced to ashes. He stood where he was, holding his breath, not even daring to move his fingers.

He only dared to observe the scenes in the void with his eyes, feeling as if they were real.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The mysterious yellow radiance returned to calm, and all the characters, energy, and unknown scenes dissipated into the air.

A small copper coin almost caused a disaster; clearly, one could only enter this place safely by taking a special route.

The lingering spirit townspeople in front continued to move forward, and Li Youyi honestly continued to place coins to mark the route.

After walking for I don't know how long, and I don't know how many miles of mountain he had climbed, he finally reached the end of the ladder, and dense white bones appeared before his eyes, like a sea of bones.

Li Youyi was shocked in his heart, unable to believe his eyes, and unable to be sure if he was still in the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain.

The sea of bones was too vast, like an independent world.

The white bones piled on the ground were understandable, but in the void on both sides, there were layers upon layers of white bones, as if they could pile up into the cosmic starry sky. Some of the bones belonged to unknown creatures and were as huge as mountain ridges.

There were also some skeletons with multiple heads, reaching hundreds of meters long.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of human skeletons were piled on top of them, like dust, like the bones of insects and ants.

Although this place was washed by Immortal Cloud, it looked like the entrance to hell, too terrifying. Let alone Li Youyi, even those powerhouses at the Dao Seed Realm and Longevity Realm would probably be scared to turn around and flee if they came here.

Li Youyi tried hard to remain calm and looked back at the Dao-protecting wife.

"Follow them!" She was very steady, and her voice sounded again.

Following the lingering spirit townspeople into the sea of bones, it became more and more vast, and blood-red radiance came from the deepest part.

The stone steps turned downward; the sea of bones below was a cave and also a vast plain.

Li Youyi looked down from a high position toward that blood light, it seemed to be...

A crescent-shaped blood lake!

Dozens of miles away, he could see a huge skull by the lake, grayish-white and smooth; he estimated it was several thousand meters high.

The skull's mouth was huge, filled with thorn-like fangs, and black mist permeated the bone seams.

Walking down the stone steps, he entered the bone sea plain.

The lingering spirit townspeople were no longer careful, dispersing and heading in different directions.

Li Youyi did not follow them anymore, but walked toward the crescent blood lake in the distance. Because, in that direction, he saw four-colored clouds, very much like the radiance emitted by Immortal Soil.

That was Immortal Soil, an ounce of which could be worth a million silver; there were not many treasures in the world that could compare to it.

He looked back, and the Dao-protecting wife was always following behind; she seemed to have great confidence, exuding a fearless and strong aura. Suddenly, Li Youyi's fear in his heart greatly diminished, and his speed became faster and faster.

"Whoosh!"

Getting closer and closer to the crescent blood lake, the Dao-protecting wife's speed exceeded his, turning into a graceful red shadow and sweeping past him.

Arriving at the crescent blood lake, Li Youyi truly felt its vastness. It was as vast as the ocean, with big waves rolling, and the smell of blood was thick, making people feel very uncomfortable.
