The engravings in front of you, which look like they were carved with knives and axes, are the main forbidden runes for refining Tianxiang Suo.
The Tianxiang Suo was a magic weapon that Ling Yuling painstakingly refined, so as soon as he saw the rune pattern, he connected the two.
"Young Master, who is here?!"
The gentleman in white immediately became alert and looked around.
"Dr. White, don't be alarmed. This crack is a code left by someone from the Counter Star Alliance. At least here, I am a friend rather than an enemy to this person."
After Ling Yuling explained something, she stared at the runes and fell into deep thought.
Since the other party has the ability to leave carvings on the black stone wall, why not just leave the word "Zhuo" directly instead of using roundabout means such as runes?
There may be another deeper meaning in it.
"This person must have left a talisman to deceive others, and he should be the last person in Wen Tianren's group.
Therefore, this should be the work of the formation master called Luo Hong.
If you think about it carefully, there is indeed something fishy about Luo Hong's whereabouts. If this person dares to pretend to be someone else, he may have killed all of Wen Tianren's reinforcements."
The gentleman in white felt a slight chill in his vest. Who would have thought that a harmless formation master could have such ruthless methods? Wen Tianren was afraid that he would fall into his hands this time.
"If this person didn't have some means, how could he have been able to survive so far while we and those thieves were tracking him down at the same time?
Huh? That’s right!
Brother Zhuo has always been cautious and careful in his work. Now he took the risk to leave the talisman, it must be something important.
The talisman left behind is related to Tianxiangsuo, Tianxiangsuo...suo..."
Ling Yuling murmured to herself, constantly thinking about it in her mind. Finally, after a huge spider web flashed, her eyes lit up and she said:
“Brother Zhuo’s intention of leaving the talisman is to remind me that this place is a trap?”
The more Ling Yuling thought about it, the more she felt it was right, and she nodded repeatedly.
"trap?"
The gentleman in white was shocked, and then tried to jump down the black stone steps.
However, the moment he approached the edge, an indescribable force hit his shoulder, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"Guardian Bai, how are you?!"
Ling Yuling asked in shock.
"No... no problem!"
The gentleman in white's face turned red, and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders. After taking a breath, he took a step back and stood up slowly.
"Young Master, this place is indeed a trap. We have no way to retreat."
After the trial just now, everyone understood that once they set foot on this black stone step, they can only move forward and not retreat.
Ling Yuling shook her head slightly, looked at Wen Tianren who had jumped to the ninth floor, and said in a deep voice:
"The restrictions here still leave us a way to survive. What we really need to worry about is Wen Tianren!
The successor of the Six Paths climbed the black stone steps without hesitation. He must have checked the situation here in advance.
With the power of the Counter Star Alliance, it is not difficult to find some treasures that can overcome the restrictions here.
This Young Master Wen probably wants to take advantage of the restrictions here to kill us!"
"But young master, judging from the situation here, these black stone steps should be a test for the demon clan in the Holy Land.
Since it is a test, there must be a reward, and the treasure Wen Tianren is looking for is very likely to be at the top of the stone steps!"
The gentleman in white frowned and said, he actually didn't say a word. The demon clan believed in the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest more than the human clan. The test they set must be very cruel. It might not be a good idea for them to stay still.
"Wen Tianren came well prepared, it is indeed very difficult, but we also have internal intelligence, we just need to be careful, there is no telling who will be killed.
Let’s follow, don’t get too close until the last moment!”
Ling Yuling frowned and made a decision.
...
"Young Master, the people in Xing Palace seem to be afraid."
The red-haired demon cultivator saw that Ling Yuling and his entourage remained on the first floor without moving, for fear that Wen Tianren's plan would fail, so he warned them.
"It's better to be afraid, then I don't need to take the initiative.
Once you reach this critical road, you can only reach the top or die. There is no third way.
If they stay on the first floor for a long time, they will suddenly bear the weight of the restrictions of the 100th floor, and they will definitely die by then, haha!"
Wen Tianren smiled happily. He easily deceived the young master of the Star Palace to death, proving that he is the one destined to rule the Chaos Star Sea!
A group of demon cultivators were smiling in apology, making Luo Hong tired of their flattery.
"Okay, now we have to embark on the real journey, and we have to use all our magic power!"
Wen Tianren laughed for a while, looked solemn, and jumped up to the tenth floor.
The red-haired demon cultivator and others also looked solemn, and after adjusting their luck, they jumped up to follow.
Luo Hong frowned slightly, and imitated these magic cultivators to gather mana, and jumped up to the tenth floor.
Suddenly, a weight far exceeding that of the ninth floor fell on his shoulders. Luo Hong just wanted to pretend that his shoulders were slightly heavy, but it could be seen that the red-haired demon cultivator and others were almost unable to straighten up under the pressure. After he paused for a moment,
Also bend down.
Fortunately, Luo Hong reached the tenth floor one step slower than them and responded in time, which did not arouse the suspicion of Wen Tianren and others.
"No wonder Wen Tianren said that the real critical road is after the tenth level. This sudden increase in strength is too exaggerated!"
Luo Hong thought to himself.
Each of the first nine levels only weighs one thousand catties, and the ninth level only weighs nine thousand catties. Logically speaking, the tenth level should weigh ten thousand catties, but the weight on Luo Hong's shoulders now has reached one hundred thousand catties!
It doubled tenfold!
If you climb up rashly without preparation in advance, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Presumably, this is the grave that Wen Tianren prepared for Ling Yuling and the others!
Luo Hong's thoughts changed rapidly and he understood a lot at once.
After reaching the tenth floor, Wen Tianren no longer climbed up with his clothes. Instead, he sat down cross-legged with the demon cultivators and took medicine to restore his magic power.
"Protector Luo, the road ahead will be even more difficult. We need to recover our mana, but Xing Gong is watching us from behind, so I will help you protect me."
The red-haired demon cultivator smiled and ordered before entering meditation.
Luo Hong turned to look at Wen Tianren, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he felt something was wrong, but still said calmly:
"Since this is the young master's order, I must obey it."
Ling Yuling and his party were always paying attention to the movements of Wen Tianren and others. When they saw that the other party suddenly stopped meditating on the tenth floor, they all became vigilant.
"Young Master, Wen Tianren seems to be sure that we will follow, and there must be a reason!"
Standing on the eighth floor, which was only twenty or thirty feet away from the tenth floor, the gentleman in white spoke worriedly.
"It's just because of the restrictions here. Since it's a test for the demon clan, how can it be so lax? There must be a mechanism to encourage people to climb up.
Wen Tianren can guard the top so carelessly, but this mechanism may cost our lives."
Ling Yuling was not surprised by this. Since she had fallen into a trap, she had already expected this situation, so she looked at it and said:
"Delay is not good for us. If he wants to fight, then fight, and we will have a chance to win!"
