Chapter 894

894 Illusion array
~~
Ye chen looked at the mysterious pattern on the stele. Gradually, he realized that the pattern seemed to have changed. It was somewhat distorted and turned into a map of a maze.
Ye chen was shocked. He had seen this map of the maze on the bald blind man. Although it had only been a short time, he could still recognize that the two maps were exactly the same.!!
As he continued to look, the pattern changed again, forming an icon that pointed to the depths of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path.
Was this bald blind man trying to lure him to the Imperial mausoleum of the great path out of good or bad intentions?
Ye chen frowned. If the bald blind man wanted to harm him, he would not have to go through so much trouble. With the blind man’s strange and unpredictable strength, he would not have to go through so much trouble if he wanted to kill him.
“Isn’t this the tattoo on the blind man?” Little tanuki saw the pattern at the corner of the stone tablet and said in surprise. Although she had stayed inside the illusionary Pearl, she had seen many things. She felt that the pattern was familiar and thought about it for a while.
“That’s right.” Ye chen nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, ” little tanuki, it looks like we’ll have to take a look at the depths of the Imperial mausoleum!
“Big brother ye chen, are you really going?” Little tanuki said with a frown. This matter was too strange and she was worried that ye chen would be in danger.
Moreover, it was said that there were many powerful creatures in the depths of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path, and even the top cultivators found it difficult to enter.
Ye chen was slightly hesitant. He felt the flying Dagger in his mind buzzing. There must be some secrets hidden in the Imperial mausoleum of the great path. Perhaps it was related to the owner of the flying Dagger!
Ye chen had to figure out the mystery of the flying Dagger!
Ye chen felt more and more that this was a huge trap. All kinds of people and relationships were inextricably linked. If he wanted to grasp a clue, he had to keep exploring. He had to figure out what position he was in this trap!
“Little tanuki, go back to the star Observation platform and wait for me. I’ll go to the depths of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path to take a look alone. I should be fine!” Ye chen said after some thought. This was still the outer perimeter of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path. With little tanuki’s strength, it should not be a problem to get out safely.
Little tanuki shook her head and said gently but firmly, ” “Big brother ye chen, please let me go with you. With my current illusion, I can definitely protect myself and won’t be a burden to you! If there’s really danger, I’ll be happy to die with big brother ye chen.”
Looking at little tanuki’s sincere expression, ye chen recalled all the things that had happened in the past and could not help but feel touched. Little tanuki had accompanied him through so many disasters and never left him. With such a close female friend, what else was there to be dissatisfied about?
Ye chen muttered to himself for a long time before he nodded in agreement.
Ye chen and little tanuki followed the direction the pattern pointed out and shuttled through the stone tablet.
From time to time, one or two tall blood-colored creatures would fly past the stone tablet. They had wings on their backs and looked ferocious. They held combat weapons and exuded a powerful aura. Although they had noticed ye chen and little tanuki, they did not dive down but avoided them.
Ye chen was already prepared to fight, but he did not expect these creatures to avoid him. This made him a little puzzled.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a fierce battle in the distance. Ye chen and little tanuki flew over to check it out carefully. In the blood mist ahead, there were some blood-colored creatures fighting with several high-rank, Empyrean Star Lord-ranked powerhouses. These powerhouses came from various races, and with their strength, they could only barely suppress these blood-colored creatures.
These blood-colored creatures were so powerful!
If he and little tanuki were to be surrounded by these blood-colored creatures, they would probably be in grave danger.
However, for some reason, the blood-colored creatures did not attack them.
Ye chen had a faint feeling that this might have something to do with the flying Dagger in his mind.
Ye chen looked at the blood-colored creatures in the battle. It was said that they were formed from the blood Qi of a heavenly Lord of the great Dao.
If a living being formed from blood and Qi had such powerful combat strength, how powerful was the heavenly Lord of the great Dao when he was alive?
Ye chen and little tanuki walked a little further when they suddenly heard a rustling sound from the Stele Forest beside them.
“Who is it?” Ye chen shouted coldly. Celestial Chi Flying Daggers had already materialized around him, ready to strike at any moment.
A figure carefully peeked out from behind the stone tablet.
“It’s you?” Little tanuki was stunned for a moment before it said in surprise.
Ye chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the person. It was Rui ‘er.
“Senior brother ye chen, I’ve finally found you!” Rui ‘er saw ye chen and immediately said happily.
“Where are the others?” Ye chen looked at Rui ‘er and asked.
“I was separated from them. I saw the road signs you left behind, so I followed them all the way here!” Rui ‘er blinked her big eyes and said.
“The road signs we left behind?” Ye chen frowned and suddenly understood. Other than guiding them, the bald blind man had probably also guided Rui ‘er!
Rui ‘er looked into the depths of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path, and a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Ye chen had always suspected that Rui ‘er, venerable Linglong, and the heavenly Lord of the great Dao might have some unknown relationship. However, the era of the heavenly Lord of the great Dao, Rui ‘er, and Supreme Linglong were too far apart, and this was another inexplicable mystery.
“Rui ‘er, do you know what kind of person a heavenly Lord of the great Dao is?” Ye chen asked.
“His body is dead but his Dao is still intact. Sister Linglong said that he was the hero of the human race!” Rui ‘er hid the sadness in her eyes and said seriously and firmly.
It seemed that Rui ‘er did not know much, and he did not know why the bald blind man had led Rui’ er in.
“We don’t know where senior brother situ and the others have gone. Let’s go and look for them!” Mo Rui said worriedly.
If situ Nan and the others entered the depths of the Stele Forest and encountered those blood-colored creatures, they would probably not have an easy time. Ye chen looked at the depths of the Imperial mausoleum and thought about it before nodding.”Alright!”
Ye chen and little tanuki did not continue to venture deeper. Instead, they followed mo Rui and searched for situ Nan and the others at the periphery.
The seemingly endless Stele Forest and the thick blood mist made it impossible for them to know where they were.
After walking through the Stele Forest for dozens of minutes, ye chen felt that even though he was walking along with little tanuki and Rui ‘er, they could not get out of the Stele Forest. Instead, they seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.
“Big brother ye chen, it’s a great illusion formation!” Little tanuki’s brows furrowed slightly as she spoke with a grave expression.
Ye chen nodded. How could he not see it now? Once you enter this great illusion formation, unless you can break the formation, you can forget about leaving.
“Then what should we do? Are we not going to get out? I wonder how senior brother situ and Senior Sister Xiao Lin are doing, hehe. Rui ‘er’s clear eyes were filled with tears as she asked helplessly.
Ye chen did not know whether it was right or wrong to enter the Imperial mausoleum of the great path. He looked at the stone tablet in front of him. This stone tablet was clearly the one he had seen when he first entered! They wandered around the Stele Forest for dozens of minutes, and in the end, they returned to their original place.
What a terrifying illusionary array. There was not a single flaw. Even little tanuki, who was an expert in illusionary techniques, was confused for a long time before she discovered it.
The pattern on the stone tablet was particularly eye-catching.
It seemed like once he entered the Stele Forest, it would be impossible to leave!
What was hidden in the depths of the blood mist?
“Big brother ye chen, it looks like we can only follow the direction this pattern points to and head inside!” Little tanuki said after some thought. She felt that there was a faint connection between the great path imperial mausoleum and ye chen, but she did not know if this connection was a blessing or a curse.
Rui ‘er, let’s go inside and take a look. Maybe we can find a way out! Ye chen said. Although he was a little worried, he still patted Rui ‘er’s head and comforted her.
Rui ‘er had always been under the protection of the Linglong Supreme. She was innocent and had never experienced such a thing before. She was trapped in the illusion array, and it was unknown if she could get out.
Where was this pattern leading them to? Why did ye chen and Rui ‘er receive guidance at the same time?
The three of them followed the pattern’s guidance and flew into the depths of the Stele Forest.
After walking through the towering Stele Forest for about half an hour, ye chen and the others arrived at an open space. There was a huge array set up in this open space. In the center of the array was a towering and magnificent gate. This gate was made of huge stones and exuded an ancient and vigorous aura, filled with the vicissitudes of time.
The door was tightly shut, and behind it, there was a surge of dense spacetime Dao Pattern Power. No one knew where it led to.
They swooped down and landed in front of the gate. They looked up and saw that the gate, which was hundreds of meters tall, had some kind of mysterious power flowing through it.
Little tanuki and Rui ‘er’s eyes widened in surprise as they looked up at the door.
Did this door lead to the inside of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path?
However, no one had ever heard of anyone passing through such a door to enter the inner area. Over the years, although those experts had been unable to enter the core of the Imperial mausoleum of the great path, there were still many who had entered the inner area of the Palace Group.
Could this be a secret passage?
Ye chen looked up and saw that the door was covered with mysterious Daoist seals and was flowing with a faint divine light. At the height of a person, there was a small hole that seemed to be used to insert a key.
“Big brother ye chen, do you have the key?” Little tanuki looked at ye chen and asked. Just like that time when ye chen had summoned the celestial Chi Flying Dagger on the eighth floor of the sunken Jade Tower?
“I’ll try!” Ye chen summoned the celestial Chi Flying Dagger and slowly placed it into the groove.
For a long time, there was no movement from the gate.
It seemed like the key wasn’t the celestial Chi Flying Dagger.
Then what would the real key be?
Looking at the size of the hole, ye Chen’s heart was filled with doubt. The size of the hole was almost the same as the celestial Chi Flying Dagger.
Rui ‘er and little tanuki were a little confused. Since the pattern had led them here, why didn’t they open the door? They didn’t even know what a key was!
Ye chen suddenly turned around and looked around vigilantly, but he did not find anything.
Just now, he suddenly had a feeling as if a pair of eyes were quietly examining him. He did not know if the other party was an enemy or a friend, but at least ye chen did not feel any hostility from the other party for the time being.
In addition to the pair of eyes, ye chen also felt that the Imperial mausoleum of the great path contained a very powerful energy. That energy seemed to be in a deep sleep.
