At that time, it is still unclear who will live and who will die.
As the two camps were confirmed, six people from the black side also appeared in front of Zhang Chen.
Among these six people, in addition to Luo Qingchen, whom he knew, there was also Yu Tianming and a man in black with an aura similar to that of Hun Ying.
You just have a very restrained aura. If it weren't for your extremely sharp perception, I'm afraid everyone would ignore the existence of this man in black.
"Tricky guy."
Compared with the feeling that the soul shadow brings to him, this more active person seems more terrifying because he knows how to restrain himself.
Such a person is generally like a poisonous snake. He will only take action after finding the right opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, he will only pay attention to these things when you are out at night, until you relax your vigilance, and then give you a fatal blow.
"What's wrong?"
Feeling Zhang Chen's gaze, Lin Qianxue glanced at the man in black opposite and asked doubtfully.
"You'd better be careful about this man in black, he's not simple."
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Lin Qianxue looked at the man in black opposite with a solemn face. According to Lin Qianxue's understanding, the person who could make Zhang Chen say such words is definitely a person with strong cultivation.
"Have you seen the stone tablet in the distance? You must try your best to get to the foot of the stone tablet. Only when you touch the stone tablet can you pass the test this time."
According to the old man, this task is not particularly difficult, or it can be written simply.
But as the surrounding space disappeared, Zhang Chen found that except for the white place where he was standing, most of the places were in black space.
"It is indeed Tai Chi. You'd better be careful. This black substance may have unexpected dangers."
However, when Hunying heard Zhang Chen's words, he didn't take his words to heart and walked directly in the direction of the stone tablet.
However, the moment the soul shadow stepped out of the black matter, everything changed.
These black substances are like a swamp. The moment you step on it, your body is constantly sinking.
"Damn it, what the hell is this? Why can't I control my body!"
Soul Shadow forcibly used his spiritual power to pull out his leg, and then looked at the black material around him with fear.
On the other hand, when Luo Qingchen left the black range and entered the area covered by white matter, he felt as if his body had lost any power and was constantly floating into the sky.
These two completely opposite forces make this test extremely difficult.
Although you can still use spiritual power in these black substances, the more you use spiritual power, the more powerful the suction power of these substances becomes.
Looking at the white area on the other side, they can also use spiritual power.
But the more they use their spiritual power, the softer their bodies become, and the higher they fly.
"It's interesting. The opposition between black and white, one up and down, is really interesting to find a check and balance and interdependence."
Even within my own knowledge, this is the first time I have seen this formation.
"Zhang Chen, what should we do next?" Lin Qianxue looked at the black area around her and asked with confusion.
Zhang Chen shook his head when he heard this: "I haven't come up with a good countermeasure now. I have never seen such a thing."
Zhang Chen walked to the edge, stretched out his hand, and felt a strong suction force sucking his hand.
"The suction is so terrifying, is there really no other way?"
Zhang Chen looked around with confusion. On the other side, Luo Xingchen and the others were also affected by this buoyancy.
But they can move forward little by little, unlike here where the body will sink indefinitely.
"Maybe I have a way."
Now Soul Shadow has also recognized the reality. Since the old man said it at the beginning, if you want to pass this level, everyone must cooperate.
So, in order to obtain this secret realm, what's the harm in cooperating with Zhang Chen to find the final secret?
"Tell me what you can do."
Although I don’t want to cooperate with Hun Ying, Hun Ying must have a deeper understanding of this secret realm than I do.
"When I discovered this secret realm before, I obtained an ancient book, which recorded this formation."
"It is not so much a formation as it is a force left to test the disciples. The predecessor of this secret realm was a huge force, but this force has disappeared in the long river of history and was replaced by the four major sects.
Divided by doors."
When Hun Ying was talking about this matter, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, as if the incident he was talking about was related to him.
"Originally, this force was called Soul Palace, and all the disciples in this force mainly cultivated the power of the soul. However, as this force grew, its influence has threatened the existence of a fourth-level sect."
Hun Ying's tone suddenly became excited. It was obvious that the growing strength of the Soul Palace had affected this fourth-level sect, and was finally destroyed by this fourth-level sect.
"So who are you? Although this soul-controlling technique is not a particularly sinister technique, you are practicing a fragment of it, which has led to him having entered the state of a sinister technique."
Based on my previous understanding of this skill, if the soul control method is a complete skill.
This exercise is not considered to be included in the ranks of evil. After all, there are very few exercises that focus on cultivating the power of the soul.
Earth-level soul techniques like the Soul Control Technique are already very rare.
But the most critical issue now is that the soul shadows and the ghost ghosts I saw before are all half-parts of the practice.
It is precisely because the exercise that Hun Ying practiced was not a complete exercise that Hun Ying became what he is today, looking like neither a human nor a ghost.
But now, Hun Ying has no way out. Unless he can get the other half of this technique, Hun Ying will one day be backlashed by this technique.
"So, you have said so much, but you haven't said a word about this formation."
Zhang Chen was too lazy to listen to Hun Ying telling himself these trivial things.
I don’t want to know about this kind of old sesame and rotten millet thing, let alone understand it.
"What I mean is that if you understand this formation in a conventional way, it is definitely not possible. After all, this is sneaking in, and this is the ruins left by the soul bow. You can use the power of the soul to drag yourself
The body moves forward."
Zhang Chen glanced at the soul figure next to him and saw that his expression did not look like he was lying to himself.
Then, Zhang Chen released the power of his soul, enveloped his body, and tentatively stretched out his hand. Sure enough, the terrifying suction force really disappeared.
"As expected!"
Seeing that Zhang Chen was actually standing on these dark substances safely, a look of surprise flashed in Hun Ying's eyes.
Obviously, everything she said just now was her own conjecture and had not been fully confirmed. Now Zhang Chen has confirmed his thoughts.
"Everyone uses the power of the soul to wrap their bodies. This road is not particularly long. The power of the soul released by your cultivation should be able to support you to the end."
Although Zhang Chen consumes his soul power in this way, based on the current situation, he should be able to support it until the end.
After hearing Zhang Chen's words, others followed Zhang Chen's method and set foot on these black areas.
Sure enough, with the isolation of soul power, everyone can walk normally in these black areas.
After overcoming the difficulties, everyone quickly walked towards the stone monument.
But as they got closer and closer to the stone monument, they finally discovered that bigger problems were coming little by little.
Zhang Chen found that his body was sinking at an extremely slow speed, although the speed was not particularly fast.
In addition, as he is getting closer to the Ten Cups, he needs more soul power.
This also causes most people to fall into this black area when they reach the final stage of the journey because their souls and intelligence are exhausted.
"Can you still persist?"
Zhang Chen glanced at Li Qianxue behind him. In this life, Lin Qianxue was very depressed. Even her face did not have any color.
"I...I don't know. I feel that with my current strength, there is no way I can reach the end."
Lin Qianxue has exhausted all her strength, but now she still has a long way to go before the finish line.
"Follow me."
When Zhang Chen walked back and grabbed Lin Qianxue, he then released the power of his soul to wrap up both of them.
"But if you do this, it will only increase your burden. I'll be fine. At worst, I will fail and wait for you to continue taking the test."
Lin Qianxue saw Zhang Chen's movements and hurriedly wanted to get rid of Zhang Chen's hand, but how could its power be compared with Zhang Chen's.
Zhang Chen's hand clamped hard on Lin Qianxue's wrist like a pliers, leading her to continue walking forward.
In the end, she had no choice but to follow Zhang Chen obediently.
"Useless sympathy."
Soul Shadow, who had been walking in front, saw a trace of ridicule in his eyes when he saw Zhang Chen's actions.
In her own understanding, this kind of meaningless sympathy can only drag herself into the abyss. This so-called sympathy will ultimately be her own burden.
As time goes by, only four of the six people who originally came in together are still holding on.
As for the two fallen people, they had been swallowed up by this black area and disappeared without a trace.
"Zhang Chen, please let me go. With my ability, there is no way to reach the finish line. You can't drag yourself down because of me."
Lin Qianxue followed Zhang Chen and looked at his back. She could vaguely see that Zhang Chen's face turned very pale.
Obviously, Zhang Chen used the power of his soul to wrap them up, and the two of them had reached Zhang Chen's limit.
If Zhang Chen continues, both of them will eventually be swallowed up by this black area.
"It's okay. This kind of thing is not too much of a burden to me. The biggest help you can give me now is not to talk and just follow me."
Zhang Chen's own soul power has been stretched to the limit, and it is particularly difficult for Zhang Chen to speak even words.
In the end, Lin Qianxue had no choice but to shut her mouth and silently followed Zhang Chen.
As time goes by, most people have reached the end point, and only Zhang Chen and Lin Qianxue are left in the black area who have not touched the stone tablet.
And the remaining people, except for the soul shadow, were all swallowed up by black desire.
On the other side of the white area, except for Luo Qingchen who had reached the end, there was Soul Jade, Xue Ling and an unknown disciple of the Ghost Shadow Sect. Apart from that, everyone else was swallowed up by the black area.
Even Yu Tianming did not escape, and was eventually devoured. Everyone under the stone monument looked at Zhang Chen and Lin Qianxue, with sarcasm and encouragement in their eyes.
"Miss, who is he and why are you so interested in her?"
In the more than a year since he followed Luo Qingchen, he has never seen Luo Qingchen care so much about anyone.
And now this young man named Zhang Chen is actually able to make his young lady so attracted to him.
"Who is he? I really want to know this question, so if he wants to tell me one day, maybe I will be happy to know."
Luo Qingchen looked at Zhang Chen who was struggling to move forward in the black area, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, Zhang Chen and Lin Qianxue finally touched the stone tablet.
The moment he touched the stone tablet, the tight string in Zhang Chen's mind finally relaxed.
"Poof!"
The moment the string was loosened, Zhang Chen felt that all the energy and blood in his body was flowing backwards. Then, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Later, Zhang Chen's consciousness began to gradually become blurred.
"Zhang Chen!"
At the moment when he fainted, he vaguely heard someone calling his name, but he was too tired now and didn't want to open his eyes at all.
At this moment, the old man from before appeared in front of everyone again.
His eyes first looked at Zhang Chen, who was lying in Luo Qingchen's arms. No one noticed that there was a look of appreciation in the old man's eyes.
"Don't worry, this little kid has just overdrawn his soul power. He just needs to rest for a while."
After a general inspection, Zhang Chen's body was actually not seriously damaged.
It was only when he helped Lin Qianxue get through the black zone that he overdrawn his soul power and became what he is now.
"Congratulations on passing the first test, but the real test begins now."
The old man walked under the stone tablet, bit his finger, and drew a spell on the stone tablet.
As the blood talisman disappeared into the stone monument, a ray of light was shed over the stone monument, and a huge ladder appeared in front of everyone.
