It took Jiang Li a long time to come back to his senses.

In fact, he was only affected by the remnants of the Nine-Tailed Fox Charm for a few seconds, but the feeling of being bewildered still made him break out in a cold sweat.

If the dragon blood and mad blood in his body cannot awaken his consciousness, then he can only rely on his other parallel consciousnesses to find a way to awaken himself.

I didn't expect that my clone went deep into the underground palace of Fengdu City without any trouble. I came here just to explore the tomb of the Fox Fairy, but I almost got into trouble.

If he really stayed here fascinated by this stone statue for two hundred years, Jiang would probably not be able to face people in the future.

After some mental preparation, he looked up again and examined the stone statue.

The seductive aura of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is still there, and he may be seduced at any time.

However, after obtaining the passive skill "Iron Will", he can stay awake for a period of time even if the foxy scum invades again.

In theory, this is a passive skill that he can only obtain after being immersed in a charmed environment for two hundred years. Although the name sounds ordinary, no ordinary straight man can compare with his willpower.

As long as you clear away negative states in time during your sober hours, the problem won't be serious.

However, this nine-tailed celestial fox is truly powerful, worthy of being the legendary top-level prehistoric alien species.

Logically speaking, it had been beheaded in the Conferred God Period before the End of the Dharma Era. After experiencing the baptism of long years and the ruthless destruction caused by the exhaustion of spiritual energy, the only remnants left today could actually allow Jiang Li to fall directly without even noticing.

If he hadn't been able to cheat, he might have failed here this time.

The power of the immortals and gods in ancient times far exceeded the imagination limit of this era. If they were still alive today, any Yuanxian Maoshen would be enough to easily subvert the current Jiuzhou Continent cultivation world.

Jiang Li has been paying attention to the status of his panel, ready to clear the influence of Fox Charm at any time.

Then he slowly approached the stone statue and carefully examined it. Under the charm, he found that there was a circle of cracks around the neck of the stone statue. It looked like it was cut off and then put back.

The ancient gods and immortals had an inexplicable connection with their statues. In the end, Daji was beheaded by the Flying Knife of the Immortal.

The owner's head couldn't be reattached, and the same went for the statue's neck.

What a pity! With the death of Jiuwei, the Qingqiu lineage also died out. Now, except for the three or two big foxes and small foxes he had seen before, he didn’t know if there were any other branches surviving.

There was a coffin behind the statue. After opening it carefully, it was empty.

The nine-tailed fox's body and bones are not here.

Placed inside was only a heart that had long since turned to stone.

The identification technique is lost.

【Name: Unknown heart fossil】

【Type: Miscellaneous】

【Formation process: mineral erosion】

【Primary elements: unknown】

【Secondary elements: unknown】

【Description: Fits into a specific groove. 】

The stone heart is very similar to a human's, but also a little different from a normal heart.

The heart of an ordinary person has two atria and two ventricles, or if we must say it, four orifices.

Judging from its outer shape, this stone heart clearly has three atria, three ventricles, and a central chamber whose function is unknown.

This heart may come from some large alien beast, some alien beast with multiple limbs. The heart may need to provide more delicate and powerful blood circulation. It is normal for the heart to look different from that of humans.

But these seven acupoints are the heart hidden in Daji's tomb, which made Jiang Li think of another myth.

Bigan’s heart with seven orifices?

Legend has it that the deputy prime minister "Bigan" has a heart with seven holes, which can communicate with all things in the world, enable his eyes to break all illusions, and eating this heart can heal all injuries.

What level is the Nine-Tailed Fox's illusion? A little bit of residue after tens of thousands of years can knock down Jiang Li, who has multiple mental resistances.

During its heyday, even the Golden Immortals from the Chan and Jie sects would not dare to say that they could catch it safely.

But with his exquisite mind, Bi Gan, with his mortal body, could easily break through the illusion with one glance. Its effect was even better than that of supernatural powers.

It’s a pity that now this heart has turned into stone. I don’t know if it is still of any use.

Jiang Li reached out and picked up the seven-hole stone heart, then tried to explore it by injecting spiritual energy into it.

It turned out that the structure of the seven orifices inside the stone heart seemed to be very special. When the spiritual energy was poured into it, it was like walking into a maze, circling around the seven orifices of the stone heart, but could only enter but not exit.

The structure of the seven orifices alone is of great reference value to him as a formation master.

Normally, he should take it home and study it slowly.

But in the description of the identification technique, it seems that this heart can be inserted into a groove, so where should it be placed?

Jiang Li turned his eyes and looked at the stone statue of Daji again.

Jiang Li suddenly thought of something and called two ghost fox demons to come forward and move away the extremely beautiful head.

"I'm sorry, Fox Fairy."

After the two fox demons ate the Nine Netherworld Fruit, Jiang Li became their only master.

With the master's order, they even dared to go up and remove the head of the Nine-Tailed Goddess, who was once a deity.

Jiang Li went forward and took a look, and found that the stone statue was indeed empty.

The stone heart was put into the hole on the neck and filled it perfectly.

After taking the head of the stone statue back and installing it, a magical scene happened. The cracks in the completely broken stone statue seemed to have life. In front of Jiang Li's eyes, it healed and became a complete whole.

The healing ability of this Seven-Aperture Heart is too strong. It can even reattach the head of a stone statue.

If it's new, a piece of your heart and soul might actually be able to save a true immortal.

Before Jiang Li had time to sigh, just as the cracks on the stone statue's neck completely disappeared, a ray of golden light shot out from between its brows. He didn't have time to react at all and was immediately enveloped by the golden light. The next moment he had disappeared from the spot.

The feeling of weightlessness and squeezing, Jiang Li felt as if he was thrown into a turbo-accelerated airplane engine. Then, a golden light enveloped his vision for a moment, and he and his sword cultivator clone were thrown onto a lake as calm as a mirror.

Jiang Li's head felt a little dizzy. He lay on the lake without sinking. Until the dizziness from being suddenly transported disappeared, the dreamy scene in front of him gradually became clear.

There is a brilliant galaxy above, and there is also a galaxy below, reflected in the Mirror Lake.

In this space, it feels like being in the universe, surrounded by endless stars, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Practicing star-related skills here will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort, and falling in love with female practitioners here will definitely yield amazing bonus effects.

What a pity... In such a scene, Jiang Li and his sword-cultivating clone were the only ones staring at each other.

There is nothing to say to myself.

The clone handed the golden light he caught in the underground palace to the original body.

Then he took the forget-me-not and the gourd of soul-shaking wine and entered the coffin.

The family couldn't wait to plant the forget-me-not. With this magical herb, his burial space would become even darker than the underworld.

They had plowed the entire plain on the other side, and when he arrived there was not a single hair to be seen.

I believe that in the future, the prices of red spider lilies and forget-me-nots will skyrocket, and he can make a fortune with these two spiritual materials.

Regardless of these things for the time being, the golden light in Jiang Li's hand has gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance.

What appeared in Jiang Li's hand was a very ancient map, on which an address was marked with soil based on the topography of ancient times.

However, there was no detailed explanation on the map, so Jiang Li could only guess that it was related to the Human Emperor. He couldn't see any other clues for the time being, so he put it away.

He was quite satisfied with his previous gains, but the most urgent task was to find out where he was now.

"So, what is going on in this space?"

Jiang Li stood between the brilliant stars above and below, not knowing where to go.

The Yin Shang Underground Palace and the Nine-Tailed Fox Tomb are both equipped with triggerable golden teleportation lights. I believe that the last human emperor would not be so bored as to invite someone from tens of thousands of years later to come here to watch the stars.

They should have had some purpose, but perhaps because it was too long ago and some settings were no longer effective, he did not get any hints.

Jiang Li had no choice but to walk in one direction. His luck was good, so he could only try his luck! Jiang Li tried, but he still couldn't fly in this starry space. The height of the flying sword was not much higher than that of the skateboard.

This kind of no-fly effect is quite powerful. If he can learn how to set up a no-fly formation, it will be worth the trip.

But now, he can only walk in one direction with his legs.

When it is pitch black or there is no fixed object to determine one's exact location, people think they are walking in a straight line, but in fact they are often walking in a vortex shape that spirals inward.

Jiang Li naturally knew this, so he just looked up at the stars in the sky and walked straight ahead.

One hour, two hours, three hours... Five hours passed, and Jiang Li couldn't tell how far he had walked, because when he looked around, it was almost exactly the same as the place where he first came in.

Just like when ordinary people walk on the road at night, they will feel as if the stars and the moon in the sky are following them.

Although Jiang Li could keep moving forward like a perpetual motion machine, the feeling of no effect after such efforts still dealt a heavy blow to his confidence.

Could it be that King Zhou had a bad taste and was deliberately trying to trick the newcomers? Given his unruly character, it was not impossible.

Jiang Li, feeling somewhat discouraged, simply lay down for a while, lying on his back on the lake, looking at the stars in the sky. He used his greatly enhanced memory after practicing his mind to completely copy this heart disk in his mind.

After lying there for a long time, no other monks came in. It seemed that this honor was really only for him.

He stood up and continued to move forward. After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Li suddenly discovered that there was a red star in the sky that seemed to have moved.

Change is good, Jiang Li immediately became excited and sped up and ran forward.

The other distant stars did not move, but this red star... It felt as if the stars under my feet were reflections of the sky, and that red star, it seemed, was reflecting the light source on the ground! In other words, there was a light source in that direction.

Jiang Li summoned the Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword and flew towards the red star.

After flying for most of the day, the positions of other stars did not change significantly, but the position of the red star began to get closer and closer.

Soon, just as he thought, the reflected light source came into his field of vision.

In the distance ahead, Jiang Li saw a tall tower-like building.

It was a kind of red light emitted by the charcoal embers that remained after the wood was burned by flames.

This is actually a Tarkov that has not been completely extinguished.

After getting closer, Jiang Li saw its name on a stone tablet next to the tower.

Star-picking Tower.

Is this the Star-Picking Tower that King Zhou built for Daji?

Star Picking Tower Star Picking Tower, did King Zhou really bring a lot of stars here and put them in this space for her to pick? In ancient times, being the emperor of man really allowed one to do whatever he wanted.

The entire tower, called the Star-Picking Tower, is constructed from an ingenious combination of wood and stone, towering high into the starry sky.

But now the Zhaixing Tower has become a truly dangerous building.

Because the wood on it has been completely carbonized, it looks like it cannot bear any weight at all.

But why are these charcoals still burning? How did a fire continue to burn from the Conferred Gods War to today?

Jiang Li thought that even if the building collapsed, he would most likely not die from the fall. In the current situation, he probably would not be able to get out if he didn't go upstairs. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his foot and stepped onto the building.

As soon as Jiang Li stepped onto the steps, the red-hot charcoal burst into flames.

The temperature of the flame was so high that even Jiang Li’s fire resistance could not withstand it.

He only held out for a few breaths before quickly withdrawing. If he had held out any longer, his Luyun Boots would have been scrapped.

He withdrew his foot, and the flames slowly died out. Then, on the carbonized steps, a few red words appeared.

"I step barefoot on the steps to pay homage to the king. The blood of the human race can extinguish the flint fire."

Human blood? Flint? The thing burning on the tower furnace is flint? No wonder it's so powerful.

After Jiang Li understood the ancient characters, he spread out his palms, and the Immortal Slaying Sword turned into a black light and flew over, cutting a hole in the palm of his hand.

With the sharpness of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, he hardly even felt the pain before the wound appeared.

He placed his hand in front of the steps and shook it, but not a drop of blood came out.

Jiang Li turned his palm over and saw that the cut had completely healed in just a few moments. This strong self-healing ability could sometimes be a problem.

He had no choice but to reach out and grab the Immortal Flying Sword. The sharp blade cut deeply into the flesh of his palm and became embedded in it, preventing it from healing.

He grabbed the flying sword and placed it on the steps. Drops of bright red blood fell on the first step. The charcoal embers that were originally emitting a faint red glow immediately went out, and as if time had gone back, they turned back into the original intact red lacquered wood.

It really works. It seems that the human race in ancient times has not changed much from the human race today.

This Zhaixing Tower is the place where King Zhou Di Xin finally burned himself to death. Under the fire, the flesh and blood of the last human emperor were completely melted into this tower.

Perhaps it is because of the flesh and blood of the Human Emperor that as long as the human race does not perish on the continent of Jiuzhou, the flint fire on the Star-Picking Tower will not be extinguished. Only by using the blood of the human race can one be recognized and allowed to pass.

Now there is a way to get through, but when Jiang Li looked at the tower that was so high that the top was almost invisible, he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Are you using it as a faucet? It's so high to pick apricots. How many faucets will you have to drain if you climb up step by step?

If it weren't for the guarantee of blood nourishment, he would definitely turn around and leave to find another way out.

Is this the Star-Picking Tower of the last human emperor? I, Jiang, am going to go up and take a look.

He took off his Luyun boots and stood on the steps barefoot.

Then he held the flying sword in his hand and dripped blood in front of him. After the flint on the steps went out, he climbed up step by step.

As Jiang Li's blood dripped and his footsteps continued to move upward, the entire Zhaixing Tower seemed to be turning back time, gradually restoring its former appearance.

After being integrated into the tower, the blood of the Human Emperor, which had been dormant for who knows how many years, felt the breath of the human race for the first time in a long time, and slowly became active in the flint fire.
