It took Jiang Li a long time before he finally recovered.
In fact, he was affected by the remnants of Nine-Tailed Fox Mei for only a few seconds. But the feeling of being mentally confused still made him break out in a cold sweat.
If the dragon blood and crazy blood in his body cannot awaken his consciousness, then he can only rely on his other parallel consciousnesses to find a way to awaken himself.
Unexpectedly, when the clone went deep into the underground palace of Fengdu City, nothing happened. I came here just to visit the tomb of the Fox Fairy Empress, and I almost got hurt.
If he were really fascinated by this stone statue here for two hundred years, he, Mr. Jiang, would probably not have the shame to go out to meet people in the future.
After making some mental preparations, he raised his head again and inspected the stone statue.
The charming aura of the nine-tailed sky fox is still there, and he may still be charmed at any time.
However, after acquiring the passive skill "Iron Will", he can remain awake for a period of time even if the foxy residue invades again.
In theory, this is a passive skill that he can only acquire after immersing himself in a charming environment for two hundred years. Although the name sounds relatively ordinary, ordinary straight men cannot compare with his concentration.
As long as you clear away negative states in time during your waking hours, the problem won't be big.
But this nine-tailed sky fox is really powerful, and he is worthy of being the top-notch prehistoric alien species in the legend.
It stands to reason that it had already been beheaded during the Conferred God Period before the End of the Law. It had gone through long years of baptism and was mercilessly destroyed by the depletion of spiritual energy. Today, only a little bit of residue is left, and it can actually make Jiang Li completely useless.
The one who noticed it was directly hit.
If he hadn't been able to cheat, he might have ended up here this time.
Those immortals and gods in ancient times were so powerful that they far exceeded the imagination limit of this era. If they could still survive to this day, any Yuanxian Mao Shen who came out would be enough to easily overturn today's world.
The world of cultivating immortals in Kyushu Continent.
Jiang Li has been paying attention to the status of his own panel, ready to eliminate the influence of Hu Mei at any time.
Then he slowly approached the stone statue and examined it carefully. With the charm, he found that there was a circle of cracks around the neck of the stone statue. It looked as if it had been cut off and then put back on.
The same.
In ancient times, there was an inexplicable telepathic connection between the immortal gods and their own statues. Daji was finally beheaded by an immortal-killing flying knife and died.
The master's head cannot be reattached, and the same goes for the stone statue's neck.
It's a pity, it's a pity, the Qingqiu lineage withered away after the death of the Nine-Tails. Now apart from the three or two big foxes and little foxes he saw before, he doesn't know if there are any other branches that have survived.
There was a coffin behind the statue. After opening it carefully, it was empty inside.
The body and bones of the nine-tailed fox are not here.
There was only a heart that had already been petrified.
Identification skills are lost.
[Name: Unknown heart fossil]
[Type: sundries]
[Formation process: Mineral erosion]
[Primary element: unknown]
[Secondary element: unknown]
[Description: Fit into specific groove.]
That stone heart is very similar to a human heart, but also slightly different from a normal heart.
The heart of an ordinary person has two atria, two ventricles, or, if you want, four orifices.
Judging from the shape and outline of this stone heart, it clearly has three atria, three ventricles, and an orifice in the center for unknown purposes.
This heart may come from some large alien beasts, some alien beasts with multiple limbs. The heart may need to provide more precise and powerful circulation and blood supply. It is normal for the heart to look different from humans.
But these seven acupoints were the heart hidden in Daji's tomb, so Jiang Li couldn't help but think of another myth and legend.
Bigan’s exquisite heart with seven orifices?
Legend has it that the Yaxiang "Bigan" possesses a heart with seven holes, which can communicate with all things in the world and can break all illusions with his eyes. Eating this heart can also heal all injuries.
What is the level of the nine-tailed demon fox's illusion skills? After tens of thousands of years, a little bit of it can knock down Jiang Li, who has multiple mental resistances.
In its heyday, the golden immortals of the two sects of Interpretation and Interception even dared not say that they could catch it safely.
But with his seven-aperture exquisite heart, Bigan can easily break through the illusion with a single glance as a mortal. The effect is even better than that of magical powers.
It's a pity that now, this heart has turned into stone, and I don't know if it is still of any use.
Jiang Li reached out and picked up the seven-aperture stone heart, pouring spiritual energy into it and trying to explore it.
It was found that the structure of the seven orifices inside the stone heart seemed to be very special. When spiritual energy was poured into it, it was like walking into a maze, going around and around among the seven orifices of the stone heart, but could only enter but not exit.
The structure of these seven orifices alone is of great reference value to him as an array master.
Under normal circumstances, he should take it home and study it slowly.
But in the description of the identification technique, it seems that the heart can fit into which groove, so where should it be placed?
Jiang Li rolled his eyes and looked at the stone statue of Daji again.
Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, and called the two ghost fox demons to come forward and move the beautiful head away.
"The Empress Fox Fairy is offended."
After the two fox demons ate the Jiuyou Earth Fruit, Jiang Li became their only master.
With the master's order, they dared to go up to the statue of the Nine-Tailed Lady, who was a god in the past, and remove its head.
Jiang Li stepped forward and took a look, and found that the stone statue was indeed empty.
The stone heart from before was put in through the hole in the neck, and it fit perfectly.
After taking the head of the stone statue back and installing it, a magical scene happened. The gap in the completely broken stone statue seemed to have life. It healed in front of Jiang Li's eyes and turned into a complete whole.
The healing ability of the Seven-Apertured Exquisite Heart is a bit too strong. It can even put the head back on a stone statue if it falls off.
If it's fresh, a piece of your heart may really be able to save a true immortal.
Before Jiang Li could sigh, just as the cracks on the stone statue's neck completely disappeared, a golden light shot out from between its eyebrows. He didn't even have time to react. He was immediately enveloped in the golden light and disappeared in the next moment.
With the feeling of weightlessness and squeezing, Jiang Li felt as if he had been thrown into a turbo-accelerated aircraft engine, and then a moment of golden light enveloped his vision. Together with the sword cultivator clone, he was thrown onto a lake that was as calm as a mirror.
Jiang Li's head was a little dizzy. He was lying on the lake without sinking. The dizziness caused by being suddenly transported disappeared, and the dreamy scene in front of him gradually became clear.
Above is a dazzling galaxy, and below, reflected in the mirror lake, is also a galaxy.
Being in this space is like being in the universe, surrounded by endless stars, and it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
Practicing star-like exercises here will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and falling in love with female cultivators here will definitely get amazing effects.
It's a pity... In such a scene, only Jiang Li and his sword cultivator clone were staring at each other.
I have nothing to say to myself.
The clone handed the golden light caught in the underground palace to the main body.
Then he took the forgetwort grass and the wine gourd and entered the coffin together.
The family can't wait to plant the forget-worn grass. With this magical grass, his burial space will become even more earthly than the underworld.
Fortunately, he asked his clone to keep a few forgetworts in advance. The battle between the ghost kings was really too terrifying.
They had plowed the entire plain on the other side, and when he arrived there wasn't even a hair to be seen.
I believe that in the next period of time, the prices of Bibihua and Forgetwort will skyrocket, and he can make a lot of money with these two spiritual materials.
Ignoring these things for the time being, the golden light in Jiang Li's hand gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance.
What appeared in Jiang Li's hand was a very ancient map, with an address marked on it based on the topography of ancient times.
However, there was no detailed explanation on the map, so Jiang Li could only guess that it was related to the Human Emperor. He couldn't see any other way for the time being, so he put it away.
The previous gains were quite satisfactory to him, but the most urgent task was to figure out where he was now.
"So, what is going on in this space?"
Jiang Li stood in the bright stars above and below, not knowing where to go.
The Yin Shang Underground Palace and the Nine-Tails Tomb are both equipped with triggerable teleportation golden lights. I believe that the last human emperor would not be so bored as to invite someone tens of thousands of years later to come here to watch the stars.
They should always have some purpose. But perhaps because it was too long ago and some settings had expired, he didn't get any prompts.
In desperation, Jiang Li could only walk in one direction. He was lucky. Now he can only try and try his luck!
Jiang Li tried, but he still couldn't fly in this starry space, and the height of the sword was not much higher than a skateboard.
This kind of forbidden air effect is quite powerful. If he can learn how to set up the forbidden air formation, it will be a worthwhile trip.
But now, he can only walk in one direction with his legs.
When people are in complete darkness, or when there is no fixed object to judge their specific position, they think they are walking in a straight line, but in fact they often walk in a vortex shape that spirals inwards.
Jiang Li naturally knew this, so he looked up at the stars in the sky and walked straight ahead.
One hour, two hours, three hours... Five hours passed, and Jiang Li couldn't tell how far he had gone, because looking around, it was almost exactly the same place as where he first entered.
Just like ordinary people walking at night, they have the feeling that the stars and moon in the sky are following them.
Although Jiang Li could keep moving forward like a perpetual motion machine, the lack of results and feeling after such efforts still caused a big blow to his confidence.
Could this be King Zhou's bad taste and deliberately deceive the latecomers? With that unruly character, it's really not impossible.
Jiang Li, who was a little discouraged, simply lay down for a while, but he lay on his back on the lake and looked at the stars in the sky. He just used his greatly enhanced memory after practicing God to completely re-engrave this part of his heart in his mind.
After lying down for a long time, no other monks broke in. It seems that this honor is really only his.
After getting up and moving forward, Jiang Li suddenly noticed a red star in the sky, which seemed to have moved its position.
Changes are good. Jiang Li immediately became excited. He speeded up and ran forward.
The other distant stars have not moved, but this red star... It feels like the stars under your feet are reflections of the sky, and the red star seems to be reflecting the light source on the ground!
In other words, there is a light source in that direction.
Jiang Li summoned the Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword and flew towards the red star.
After flying for most of the day, the positions of other stars did not change significantly, and the position of the red star began to get closer and closer.
Soon, just as he thought, the reflected light source also entered his field of vision.
In the distance ahead, Jiang Li saw a towering tower-like building.
It is the red light emitted by the remaining charcoal embers that have not been extinguished after the wood has been burned by flames.
This is actually a Tarkov that has not been completely extinguished.
After getting closer, Jiang Li saw its name on a stone tablet next to the tower.
Star Building.
Is this the star-catching tower built by King Zhou for Daji?
Star-Zhaing Tower, Star-Zhaing Tower, did King Zhou really bring a lot of stars and put them in this space for her to pick?
In ancient times, when you were an emperor, you could really do whatever you wanted.
This star-catching tower, the entire tower, is made of exquisite wood and stone, towering into the starry sky.
It’s just that the current Star-Zhaing Building is already a truly dangerous building.
Because the wood on it has been completely carbonized, it seems that it cannot bear weight at all.
But why are these charcoal not extinguished? How on earth did this fire burn from the Conferred God War to the present day?
Jiang Li thought for a moment that even if the building collapsed, he would most likely not be able to fall to his death. In this situation, he probably wouldn't be able to get out if he didn't go up the building. After a moment of hesitation, he raised his foot and raised the price.
As soon as Jiang Li's feet stepped onto the steps, the red charcoal immediately burst into flames.
The temperature of the flame was so high that even Jiang Li's fire resistance could not withstand it.
He only lasted a few breaths and then quickly withdrew. If it took any longer, his boots would be scrapped.
He withdrew his feet, and the flame slowly extinguished. Then, on the carbonized steps, several red characters of carbon fire appeared.
"Tread barefoot on the steps to pay homage to the king. The blood of the human race can extinguish the fire."
Human blood? Fire?
What is burning on this tower furnace is flint fire? No wonder it is so powerful.
After Jiang Li understood the ancient text, he opened his palms and the Immortal-Decapitating Flying Sword turned into black light and flew towards him, making a cut in the palm of his hand.
With the sharpness of the Immortal Killing Flying Sword, he almost didn't even notice the pain before the wound appeared.
He put his hand in front of the steps and shook it, but not a drop of blood came out.
Jiang Li turned his palm over and saw that the cut he had just made had completely healed in just a moment. This self-healing ability is so strong that it can be a troublesome thing sometimes.
He had no choice but to reach out and grab the Flying Sword of Immortality. Its sharp edge cut deeply into the flesh and blood of his palm and was embedded in it to prevent healing.
He grabbed the flying sword and placed it on the steps. Drops of bright red blood fell on the first step. The embers of carbon wood that were originally glowing red immediately went out and turned as if they were going back in time.
It has been restored to the original intact red lacquered wood.
It's really possible. It seems that the human race in ancient times and the human race they are today have not changed much.
This Star-Zhaing Tower was the place where King Zhou, Emperor Xin, finally committed self-immolation. Under the fire, all the flesh and blood of the last human emperor melted into this building.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the flesh and blood of the Human Emperor that as long as the human race is immortal on the Nine Provinces Continent, the fire on the Star Picking Tower will not be extinguished. Only with the blood of the human race can it be recognized and pass.
Now there is a way to pass, but Jiang Li still feels a little melancholy when he looks at the towering tower above that is almost too high to reach the top.
Are you using him as a faucet? If you are picking apricots at such a height, how many of them will you have to drain step by step?
If it weren't for the guaranteed health status, he would definitely turn around and leave, looking for another way out.
Is it the Star-Zhaing Tower of the Last Human Emperor? I, Jiang, am going to go up there and visit it.
He took off his cloud boots and stood barefoot on the steps.
Then, holding the flying sword in front of him, he waited until the fire on the steps was extinguished, then climbed up step by step.
As Jiang Li's blood dripped and his footsteps continued upward, the entire Star-Zhaing Tower seemed to be turning back time, restoring its former appearance bit by bit.
Integrated into the tower, the blood of the Human Emperor, which had been dormant for who knows how many years, felt the breath of the human race for the first time in a long time, and slowly became active in the fire.
