Chapter 354: Layer upon Layer
Just as Yu Zhiyi was about to begin her investigation, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound. Her expression hardened slightly, and she lightly leaped away from the rocks.
There was nowhere to land here, and she couldn't fly, so she had to summon the birds back.
Birds can carry weight, but doing so consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.
However, Yu Zhiyi had no other choice at the moment.
The sound of wind breaking through the air rang out again behind them, accompanied by the roar of a ferocious beast.
Yu Zhiyi controlled the flying bird to quickly move away, and without looking back, she threw out a Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
Jin Lin: "!"
These humans have no sense of martial ethics!
Sensing the terrifying power of the heavenly thunder emanating from the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, even with its thick hide, it dared not withstand it head-on and could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
Taking advantage of Jin Lin's retreat, Yu Zhiyi directly controlled the flying bird to approach the problematic side of the mountain wall.
A sudden inspiration struck her. Seeing the cliff face separated by several meters by the water flow, she directly controlled the paper crane to fly into the waterfall and crash into the cliff face.
The expected pain did not come, and Yu Zhiyi looked at the spacious area in front of her and relaxed.
She guessed right.
Behind this cliff is another space.
In fact, the entire wasteland and the green land that appeared later were all illusions, and were not the original appearance of this land at all.
Whether the landscape we see today is the true face of this place remains to be seen.
Before us lay another beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains.
Looking around, you see nothing but beautiful flowers.
A breeze blew by, and the waves of flowers released a rich yet not cloying fragrance, which was very pleasant.
What's even more comforting is the spiritual atmosphere here.
The spiritual energy here is dozens of times stronger than outside.
Yu Zhiyi felt a joyful cheer coming from within her dantian.
Without her having to cultivate on her own, her dantian started operating automatically, frantically trying to absorb spiritual energy.
Yu Zhiyi quickly stopped this self-control of her body.
This place is eerie; behind every great temptation lies murderous intent.
Just like the fruit and golden scales outside.
She dared not gamble until she figured out exactly what was going on.
However, even after she had searched the entire area, she found no danger.
There was a guardian beast outside, but there wasn't even a suspicious thing here.
Only endless, rich spiritual energy wanted to penetrate her body.
Her body also craved that spiritual energy.
etc……
Spiritual energy?
She understood.
The dense spiritual energy is the source of this pitfall.
That being said, the fact that there is such a dense spiritual energy here means that there must be something that creates such a dense spiritual energy.
She thought of the desolate wilderness outside again.
Could the wasteland be real?
Because the things here have absorbed all the spiritual energy from outside, that's why nothing grows outside.
So, is it highly likely that the spirit-absorbing array really exists?
She had a feeling that once this mystery was solved, her mission could end.
Yu Zhiyi closed her eyes and carefully sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her.
At first, she didn't notice anything because the spiritual energy here was so abundant.
It was so dense that it was almost impossible to tell where the spiritual energy was more concentrated or where it was emanating from.
But Yu Zhiyi firmly believed that there must be something fishy about things that were not normal. She hadn't stayed in the Ministry of Justice for so long for nothing. The people in the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review used her skills to solve cases, and she also learned some excellent qualities from them.
For example, concentrate and observe carefully.
After calming down, she finally discovered a very subtle difference.
This spiritual energy seems to be emanating from the water in front.
The flow of spiritual energy is very weak, so weak that people can hardly detect its changes. In addition, there are occasional strange winds blowing by, which further affects people's judgment.
Even after eliminating all interfering factors, the faint overflow of spiritual energy on the water surface remained unchanged.
"In the water?"
This time, Yu Zhiyi didn't jump in directly. Instead, she searched through her spatial talisman and found that it contained almost all useful items, with nothing that she could throw away without a second thought.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a copper coin and tossed it into the lake.
Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared on the lake and swallowed the copper coin in the blink of an eye.
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
She suddenly thought of a word.
Nine bends and eighteen pits.
She then thought of the secret realm her master had mentioned before.
If this place can be considered a secret realm, then the master of this secret realm is truly composed, with one secret realm after another.
She has a very strong intuition.
The next stop will be the end of her journey.
However, whether or not to go underwater became a big question.
No one would be so bored as to create so many illusions; the more elaborate the illusions, the more extraordinary the power behind them.
Therefore, the closer you get to the finish line, the greater the hidden dangers become.
There might be a ferocious beast inside that's even more dangerous than the Golden Scale.
It could also be a sophisticated killing formation.
No, no...
She felt like she had gone astray.
If there really is a high-level killing formation inside, the Marquis of Wu'an's son and others would not be able to break it at all. So how did they survive until now?
And how exactly did they get in?
Was her intuition wrong?
She's human, not a god; it's normal for her intuition to be wrong.
Moreover, this illusion is very strange; it clearly has the ability to alter people's thinking.
For example, the hunger and thirst she had felt before.
Logically speaking, with her current strength, she should already be able to abstain from grains, and she had just eaten lunch not long ago, so she shouldn't feel hungry so quickly.
She had been walking in the wilderness for less than an hour when she felt hungry, which was abnormal.
Therefore, whether her intuition can be trusted is a big question.
When in doubt, try a different approach.
If there's something underwater, then if she empties the water, wouldn't she be able to see the whole underwater scene?
Yu Zhiyi rummaged through the spatial talisman and found a stack of water control talismans.
These were all left to her by her master before he left, but unfortunately she never had the chance to use the Water Control Talisman, so she kept them until now.
The water-controlling talisman was held upright between her slender two fingers. With a flick of her wrist, Yu Zhiyi brought the talisman to the surface of the water.
The water in the lake churned with the power of the water-controlling talisman. Before long, a "bucket" of water appeared on the surface of the lake.
The bucket, several meters high and wide, swam to the shore under Yu Zhiyi's command of thought, and then poured down.
In just one moment, the lake level dropped by more than an inch.
This was Yu Zhiyi's first time using the water control talisman, and she wasn't very skilled at it yet. She had a feeling that the water column, which was more than ten meters high, was far from her limit.
With a flick of her wrist, she took out another bill.
As it turned out, her premonition was correct. The second water control talisman produced a water column that was thirty meters long and more than ten meters wide.
After the water was splashed onto the shore, the water level in the lake dropped significantly.
Yu Zhiyi smiled with satisfaction.
