After an unknown amount of time, a tightly closed stone door appeared in front of them, engraved with strange and bizarre symbols.
"What is behind this stone door?" Gu Qingze said with confusion.
Chu Lingxiao stepped forward and observed the symbols carefully with a focused gaze: "These symbols may be the key to some kind of puzzle."
Gu Qingze tried to push the stone door hard, but to no avail.
"Don't waste your energy. Calm down and think about how to unlock the secrets of these symbols." Chu Lingxiao said.
The two began to study the symbols intently, trying to find patterns in them.
Just as they were thinking hard, Gu Qingze was suddenly surprised to find that the arrangement of several symbols seemed to be very similar to a formation he had seen before.
"Ling Xiao, look here, doesn't it look like a simplified version of the Eight Directions Cloud Movement Formation?"
Chu Lingxiao examined it carefully, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Yes, it is indeed very similar. Is it from the 'Complete Explanation of Advanced Formations' that we saw on the second floor of the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Library?"
Gu Qingze smiled and nudged him lightly with his shoulder: "Ling Xiao, you have a good memory."
Chu Lingxiao also bumped his shoulder back and said modestly, "It's the same. Compared to Qingze, I'm still a little inferior."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to sense something was amiss: "Qingze, I remember the Eight Directions Cloud Movement Formation was a formation from the human race, right? How could a formation from the human race appear in the demon world?"
Gu Qingze looked a little puzzled when he heard this: "I remember that formations don't discriminate by race, right? Except for some special formations, aren't they all universal?"
Chu Lingxiao shook his head. "That being said, the Eight Directions Cloud Movement Formation was created by the third Qingyun Sect leader. Only one copy is kept in the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Library, so it can be said to be a special gift for the human race."
Gu Qingze complained: "Rather than saying it's a special supply for the human race, it's better to say it's a special supply for the Qingyun Sect."
Chu Lingxiao nodded noncommittally: "Qingze's understanding is not wrong. That's why I find it strange that this formation appears here."
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it was spread by some junior brothers and sisters in Qingyun Sect or other elders."
Chu Lingxiao nodded: "Even so, the appearance of this formation in the Xuanyin of the demon world still seems very abrupt. The function of the Eight Directions Cloud Movement Formation is not irreplaceable. There are obviously many formations with similar functions..."
Gu Qingze patted his shoulder and said, "Although I find it strange too, the current situation... is not suitable for overthinking. Let's decipher it first. Maybe this is the key to unlocking the stone door."
Chu Lingxiao responded and stopped thinking about it for the time being. Instead, he focused all his attention on deciphering the code. They carefully adjusted the order of the symbols according to the idea of breaking the "Eight Directions Cloud Movement Formation".
With a crisp "click", the stone door slowly opened, and a stale and decayed smell came like a tide.
Inside the door is a spacious stone chamber, surrounded by various strange-shaped statues.
"These statues look very unusual." Gu Qingze said with caution.
Chu Lingxiao nodded solemnly: "It's better to be careful. There may be unknown dangers hidden."
They walked into the stone chamber cautiously. Suddenly, the eyes of the statues glowed with a strange red light, as if they had come alive in an instant.
"Oh no, retreat quickly!" Gu Qingze shouted in panic.
However, the retreat route has been blocked by an invisible barrier.
The statues began to move, pressing towards them step by step.
