After slightly consolidating their rapidly increasing realm, Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu began to explore the surroundings.

After passing through a large number of lying water cocoons, the two continued to move forward along the direction of the water flow and saw more standing silk pillars.

The so-called silk column refers to the "silk woven column".

According to ancient records, three threads make a strand, three strands make a reel, three reels make a bundle, three bundles make a twist, three twists make a wrap, three wraps make a branch, three branches make a stem, three stems make a trunk, and there are one hundred and eighty trunks, intertwined with each other, forming a silk pillar that holds up the empty cocoon. It has infinite length, but no one knows where its root is, as if it is in the abyss.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to be at the root of these silk pillars, which was the bottom of the "abyss" recorded in ancient books.

These silk threads were seen entangled and knotted at the bottom, submerged in water. There were also a large number of "spiders" with slender and light bodies, walking on the water. They were extremely timid, and when they saw Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu coming, they all scattered, creating a large number of ripples on the water surface, which spread out.

"Turns out these are empty cocoons woven by these spiders." An Zhisu smiled suddenly.

Following the gaze of his senior sister, Ling Yunpo saw a large number of unformed cocoons scattered between the roots of the silk pillars, some of which were more than half completed, while others were only one-third completed.

"These are 'Cloud Weaving Spiders'." Kunlun Mirror suddenly said in the sea of ​​consciousness, "They are a kind of space-time monster that feeds on 'incomplete history', which is the 'timeline' I told you about before."

It couldn't help but sigh:

"Cloud-weaving spiders are harmless by nature, but even they are imprisoned here. It seems that the purpose of building this Demon-Locking Tower is definitely not to prevent the so-called demon tribe."

"The Demon Locking Tower was not built by the Shangqing Sect of Shushan." Ling Yunpo said disapprovingly, "Shushan said it was built by a powerful human to guard against the demons. Where did they get the evidence? They just made up an arbitrary interpretation based on their own political purposes."

"But Jing, I thought that as an ancient being, you would know the secrets of the Demon Locking Tower... but it turns out that you only know half of it."

"I am the mirror in the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, not the mirror of the mortal world. How could I know everything about the human world?" Kunlun Mirror said angrily, "If not... forget it."

Its voice paused for a moment, and then said:

"The thread of time woven by the Cloud Weaving Spider must extend from the past to the future. Therefore, the time and space of this world are discontinuous. The higher you fly, the longer the space will be stretched, and you will never be able to fly to the end."

"So let's use the 'Ten Thousand Miles Water Vein Divine Travel Talisman' to leave."

Ling Yunpo was speechless for a while before he said:

"Why is this broken talisman taking us to some abnormal place? Can't it just teleport us out of the tower?"

"All water veins have extremely mysterious connections in the water system of the Five Elements. The Wanli Water Vein Divine Travel Talisman only transports you from the upstream to the downstream of this mysterious connection." Kunlun Mirror said meaningfully, "What's more, if you leave the Demon Locking Tower now, it may not be a good thing."

"Not a good thing? What do you mean... Oh." Ling Yun's brain worked quickly and he immediately realized that this was related to the "imminent death disaster" that Qiu Changtian had mentioned.

In other words, during the time when my senior sister and I were away, some extremely unfavorable changes had already occurred outside.

Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo said to An Zhisu:

"Sister, if we continue to fly upwards, we don't know where we will arrive. You must know that the Cloud Sea Sky Realm is almost infinitely high and infinitely deep, and has never even been explored to its boundaries. Why don't we use the talisman again and jump to the next water source?"

"It's possible." An Zhisu said hesitantly, "But this time, when it was activated once, it jumped from the eighth floor to the twenty-eighth floor. When it was activated the second time, it jumped to the thirtieth floor. It seems to have been jumping to the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower."

"The deeper you go into the Demon Locking Tower, the more powerful the imprisoned demons become. Above the 30th floor, they have the strength of a Golden Core. Isn't this too dangerous?"

Lingyunpo: ...

That’s true.

Now that the marrow cleansing is complete and he has gained the power of thirty years of hard training at the Huafu level, the trip to the Demon Locking Tower can be said to have made a lot of money, and there is no need to take further risks.

If Qiu Changtian hadn't reminded him, he would have found a way to withdraw from the trial and returned to Qingluo Peak to drink the golden mercury elixir.

However, considering the trip to the palace, Ling Yunpo still had some confidence in his golden finger, so he said to Senior Sister An:

"That's right. Why don't we fly upwards first? If we can't find the exit of this world, how about coming down and activating the talisman to jump?"

"Okay." An Zhisu naturally agreed.

The two of them then rode on their swords and flew upwards along the silk pillar.

After flying for six or seven hours, I still couldn't see the end of the pillar. I only saw it extending upwards into the sea of ​​clouds and downwards into the foggy mountains, with no end in sight at either end.

An Zhisu sighed, and could only suppress the sword light with Ling Yunpo again. After a long time, they finally returned to the water again.

Ling Yunpo took out the Wanli Water Vein Divine Traveling Talisman, injected his true essence into it, and activated it.

The two disappeared again. A moment later, countless cloud-weaving spiders rustled and cautiously emerged from behind the silk-weaving pillars.

They surrounded the place where Ling Yunpo originally stood, looking left and right, as if sensing something.

As the world spun, Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu arrived in a new world.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the red river water gushing down, washing and hitting the banks on both sides like a roaring dragon.

Are we back to the 28th floor of the Sea of ​​Blood?

Ling Yunpo was in a trance when he heard An Zhisu clench her teeth and squeeze out a few words from between her teeth, her voice trying to be calm:

"Junior brother, look ahead..."

Ling Yunpo suddenly looked up and saw a huge dragon perched on the top of the red sandstone mountain at the source of the surging river.

The dragon's body was almost as long as the mountain, with golden dragon scales arranged neatly, and colorful wings attached to its sides. Several thick chains pierced its lower body, binding it firmly to the blade-like mountain.

Blood continued to flow down along the wounds caused by the chains like a spring.

However, its upper body could move freely. At this moment, it lowered its huge head, and its pair of cold and ruthless golden vertical pupils stared at Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu from a close distance, as if a giant was looking at an ant.

Lingyunpo could even feel the dragon's breathing. When it inhaled, the wind blew forward, and when it exhaled, the wind blew backward, alternating back and forth, carrying abundant water vapor.

“Two…” It finally spoke. Although it tried to speak softly, its voice was still as loud as thunder. “Two humans who are not yet at the Transfiguration stage…”

"…How did you get here?"

Ling Yun broke the silence for a moment, then pulled An Zhisu, who was standing next to him as if facing a great enemy, and said slowly:

"Ten Thousand Miles Water Vein Divine Travel Talisman."

The dragon tilted its head slightly and stared at the talisman in his hand.

"……I see."
