Wei He opened his eyes wide and his pupils shrank slightly.
He tried hard to raise his perception to a higher level, almost entering the bone-eroding wind.
But he soon discovered that this twisted and transparent individual seemed to only exist on the level of the painful wind.
Once it gets closer to the Bone Erosion Wind Layer, it will become more faded.
Obviously this is something that only exists in the bone-eroding wind layer.
In different levels of the real world, the overall sense of looking at the same thing will also be different.
When you reach a certain depth of the real world, even the same house may turn into some kind of weird living creature in the face of perception.
This is caused by the different dimensions and angles.
Wei He lowered the intensity of his senses again and walked to the transparent thing.
He didn't stop until he was only half a meter away from it.
At this moment, he could barely see clearly what this transparent, standing thing was.
that is
A humanoid monster formed by the bodies of many people stacked together and spliced together.
It is more than two meters tall, with human faces growing out like sarcomas on its almost transparent body.
Those were all familiar faces that Wei He had seen before.
Bai Shanxin, Bilin and Song Qing of the Nine Military Departments.
The royal guard general Shangguan Di Yun.
The palace manager Cao Yanxu, Yuelan Xiao Fuyue, the eldest prince Sima Chi, and a bunch of other unfamiliar faces, presumably all the masters who had hid here before.
But at this moment, all of them seemed to be integrated into this transparent human body and became a part of it.
With a hint of horror and tension in his heart, Wei He quickly searched for Li Rong's face on this transparent human body.
Although his eyesight is amazing, the human body is almost transparent, so the face is not easy to identify.
Moreover, the transparent human body seems to have been dead for many years, and many faces on the body remain in the state of painful expressions before death.
Such distortions make identification more difficult.
Soon, Wei He carefully searched all the parts of the human body. He could not find Li Rong's face.
Not only is there no Li Rong, but there is also no face of Emperor Sima Ling of Dayue and Queen Ling Chongyan.
And he also discovered.
This human body does not have any gender characteristics. Its whole body is covered with various human facial tumors, but its own face has no facial features and is just smooth.
Its body is covered with other people's faces, but it has no face.
This kind of weirdness with a vague sense of ritual quickly reminded Wei He of some evil rituals or sect sacrifices.
He searched several times but could not find Li Rong's face, which made him feel relieved.
The human body, or portrait, in front of me is obviously a finished product.
Many years ago, that ceremony might have ended.
Wei He thought that many years ago, since this place was first closed, the people inside had never gone out to hand over supplies.
"Maybe it will be already at that time," Wei He sighed in his heart.
He began to carefully search for clues around him.
Since Li Rong, Sima Ling, Ling Chongyan and others are not above, they are not in this mausoleum either.
Then they are likely to leave other clues or traces.
Wei He surrounded the portrait and observed it carefully.
Soon, I found a hidden grid on the wall behind the portrait.
This hidden grid can only be seen at the Painful Wind level. It can be seen that its concealment is extremely high.
Wei He stepped forward, placed his hand on the surface of the dark grid, and activated gravity.
The gray wall slowly protruded, the sound of several things breaking was heard, and a small drawer as wide as a palm was pulled out.
In the drawer, there is a letter.
Written in black letters on the surface of the letter: The latecomer will enlighten you.
Wei He picked up the letter. It was not wrapped in an envelope, but was folded roughly a few times.
He unfolded it directly and found that the writing on it had become blurry.
‘A mysterious man suddenly attacked us, and he used cruel methods to condense most of us into passage figures, which were used to open passages to the deeper parts of the true world.
After the mysterious man left, the passage was still there, and it seemed that it could still exist for a short while. The remaining living people unanimously decided that we might encounter accidents if we stayed here, so we decided to go in and enter what the mysterious man said.
The back part seemed to be torn off by something. The last part of the handwriting seemed to have been hastily.
Apparently something new happened, causing him to fail to finish writing.
Wei He's face turned gloomy. He was suddenly cut off at the critical moment, which made him feel a little unhappy.
If only we could know which floor they entered
"That's not right!" Suddenly he narrowed his eyes, "Masters of True Blood and True Strength can enter the Bone Corrosion Layer at will, which is the fourth level of the True Realm.
If it were a true world lower than this level, they wouldn't need to go through the passage at all.
In other words, the path they enter is at least leading to a higher level after bone erosion."
What kind of passage can allow people to forcibly enter other levels of the true world?
Even if it is no longer entering, it is transformation.
Transform people into the unique structure and body consciousness of that level, so that they can 'enter' and exist there forever.
Wei He didn't know which layer it was on, but with this layer of clues, he would have a target and continue searching.
"Is it above the bone erosion layer?"
He sighed softly, if this was in the past when the Qi was still there, then this request would not be difficult for him.
But now is an era where true energy has been cut off. Therefore, if you want to enter a higher level of true world, you must forcibly enhance your senses.
Above the Bone Erosion Level, the level corresponds to the Grand Master.
Only Modo and senior sister Yuanduzi can enter the entire true blood and true strength system.
He took one last look at the figure.
But I found that the portrait was slowly dissolving and dissipating.
He guessed that the fog from the outside world entered and had an impact.
Before opening the imperial mausoleum, Wei He never thought that such changes would happen inside.
But luckily she discovered it in time.
As for the mysterious man who suddenly appeared
"What is the identity of that mysterious man? He who can easily suppress so many masters and has a way to enter a deeper true world must obviously be a great master."
Wei He had no clue in his mind. He waved his hand, and immediately countless powerful figures flew out and forcibly wrapped the statue that was about to melt.
Whoosh!
He jumped up and rushed towards the entrance.
This figure only exists on the level of the Painful Wind, and it may be the remaining traces of an open passage, so it is worth studying.
He must find the clues left behind to determine which level of the true world Master Li Rong and the others went to.
Although this trip didn't yield much, there is good news after all, that is, Master Li Rong is probably not dead.
After coming out of the mausoleum, Wei He immediately greeted Liu Chengxi and asked him to be responsible for the follow-up finishing work.
He himself accelerated back toward Minshan.
Since the last time he defeated the Demon Alliance in Minshan, he simply purchased a manor there specifically for his own research.
A large number of zhenqi conversion tissues are also produced from there.
Wei He didn't stop, and it only took him more than an hour to return to Minshan, and sent the transparent figure to the simulated true energy environment of the underground research room for preservation.
A few days later.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of this portrait.
Wei He discovered that the material used to construct the portrait did not belong to any of the materials he had studied.
It is a special substance similar to wax that can be melted.
This substance has strong environmental requirements and can only exist in a true qi environment. Once it is separated, it will quickly melt and evaporate, turning into a gaseous state.
The gaseous Wei He could not capture it, and he did not have the methods or materials to completely block it.
These attributes are actually secondary. The most important thing is that Wei He discovered that this material can actually preserve the soul!
And the many faces on the portrait are most likely the soul of Grandmaster Otsuki who is bound within it.
But when he tried to separate the souls of these masters, he found that the faces on the statues were already empty shells, with nothing inside.
Research has reached an impasse.
But not long after, good news came from Yuelong.
Traces suspected to be left by Yuanduzi's body were found.
Wei He immediately set off and rushed to the place where Liu Chengxi sent the message.

North of January, Zhushan.
Zhushan is one of the steepest and most precipitous mountains in the entire land of Yuanyue.
The unique peaks and rocks here are the selling point, attracting countless tourists all year round.
As early as when this land was still ruled by the Yuan Dynasty, there were already many human traces here.
But in the deepest part of Zhushan, the highest point is Yuling Peak.
This side is like a sharp cliff cut by a knife. At this time, there are several people climbing up the cliff with dexterity.
They were wearing a full set of climbing equipment. Step by step, they inserted the climbing hook into the gap in the rock wall, and then moved up.
Among them is Liu Chengxi, the general manager of Yuelong.
Liu Chengxi looked calm, and every time he tapped his toes, he could use the force to fly up several meters.
Beside her, there was another person, but he was strangely without any equipment. Instead, he was floating out of thin air and moving upwards.
This person is Wei He.
"This is it! Teacher, look!"
Liu Chengxi suddenly stopped and pointed to the rock wall one meter above.
There is a huge, deep claw mark left by a bird on the rock wall.
No, it can no longer be called paw prints, but should be called claw holes.
"Each hole is more than one meter apart, and there are five holes in total, which together form a huge claw mark. You can imagine how big the creature that left the claw mark is," Liu Chengxi sighed.
Wei He levitated his body, moved upward gently, and used gravity to absorb the rock wall, and came to the huge claw mark.
He reached out and touched one of the holes.
The inner wall of the hole is smooth and hard, without any real breath.
But Wei He had a vague hunch that these claw marks were probably left by the senior sister!
He closed his eyes and recalled the black feather he had picked up everywhere.
Comparing the size, the proportions of the two are very similar.
"There must be traces left elsewhere."
Wei He began to search around the paw prints.
But unfortunately, the surrounding area was empty and there was nothing.
"That's right. It's quite rare for someone as strong as Senior Sister to leave such an obvious mark."
Wei He thought to himself that if he were to fly and move with gravity, he would not leave any obvious traces at all.
There is such a paw print, which means that the senior sister may have been seriously injured and her condition is so bad that she can't control her body.
His heart became slightly heavy.
"Looking at the map, this paw print, connected to the imperial mausoleum, forms a straight line, which is the direction that Senior Sister is heading."
