When Lu Qing saw the situation around him clearly, he was already in an extremely huge space.
This space was similar to a hall, empty and deserted, surrounded by majestic walls, the ground paved with huge ancient stones, and thousands of feet above the head was the ceiling.
The entire hall is filled with a vast and ancient atmosphere.
However, what attracted Lu Qing's attention the most were the many murals carved on the surrounding walls.
Those murals are equally huge, with figures depicted inside.
Each figure was a thousand feet tall, and Lu Qing standing in front of them looked as small as an ant.
Moreover, each of these figures has a blurred face, as if shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see their true appearance.
However, their body shapes are different from those of humans, and they are obviously not ordinary creatures.
The more Lu Qing wanted to see clearly, the thicker the fog seemed. Slowly, even the figures began to become blurry.
It seemed as if there were some rules preventing him from seeing the true appearance of those figures and exploring the contents of the stone carvings.
But this made Lu Qing even more interested.
He immediately activated his special ability and looked at one of the murals.
It wasn't long before notes began to emerge from the mural.
[Witch's Stone Carving: A stone carving recorded by a powerful witch from ancient times.]
[This stone carving records some ancient events that happened to the ancient witch tribe.]
[The stone carvings have been imbued with the power of laws by a powerful being. Unless you have reached a certain level, you cannot see the true appearance of the people in the stone carvings. ]
…
After reading the notes, Lu Qing felt disappointed.
He also thought that these murals were so magical that there must be some secrets or heritage contained in them.
It turned out that they were just some ordinary murals, recording some deeds of the ancient witch clan.
Sure enough, not everything left behind by a powerful person contains inheritance.
After understanding the mystery of these murals, Lu Qing's interest suddenly decreased.
But he watched anyway.
Although the mural was shrouded in mist, Lu Qing was able to roughly make out some things as he looked at it slowly.
The murals probably record the origin of the witch clan, which seems to have existed since the world had not yet evolved and was still in chaos.
Later, the Witch Clan came into the world. Because of their powerful strength, they dominated the world for a time, occupied countless territories, and enslaved countless lives.
Afterwards, some living beings were unwilling to be oppressed and started to resist, which eventually led to a huge war between Taoism and witches.
After this battle, the Wu clan declined, the Taoist clan rose, and occupied the Wu clan's territory.
The story of the mural ends here.
Furthermore, there was fog covering the middle, so Lu Qing couldn't see many scenes clearly. Many details were missing, so he could only see the general idea.
However, even if he could see it clearly, Lu Qing would not think that what was said above was completely true.
This mural was left behind by a powerful person from the Wu clan. The things described in it must be biased towards the Wu clan.
Who knows how much of the content has been subjectively modified by that almighty power?
So he just treated it as a story and didn't take it too seriously.
After all, this is an ancient event, and we don’t know how many tens of thousands of years have passed since then.
Now even the Wu clan has disappeared without a trace, and it is unclear whether they have been exterminated.
I looked around and saw that there was no one else in the huge space. I also didn't know where those people from other forces who had come in early had gone.
Lu Qing began to walk in the hall, and after a round, he finally discovered the secret.
In the center of the hall, there was a large circle with teleportation runes engraved on it, and there was a faint fluctuation of spatial force.
"So that's how it is. Did those strong men go to other places through the teleportation array?"
Lu Qing was thoughtful. It seemed that the real trial place was in another space.
He used his supernatural powers to check the teleportation formation on the ground and found no danger, so he stepped on it with Xiao Li in his arms with confidence.
The next moment, the light came on, and the familiar fluctuations of spatial force enveloped him. The figures of Lu Qing and Xiao Li disappeared in the hall.
When he appeared again, Lu Qing found himself in another space.
"Um?"
As soon as he appeared, Lu Qing felt something unusual. His body suddenly sank and became very heavy.
The gravity in this space is dozens of times stronger than that in the secret realm outside.
He immediately activated the magnetic force of the earth's veins to relieve the gravity, but found that it was useless.
The heaviness of this space seems to be caused at the level of rules, and cannot be resolved by the magnetic force of the earth veins alone.
After understanding this, Lu Qing stopped making futile attempts.
Fortunately, both he and Xiao Li's bodies are strong enough, and dozens of times the gravity will not cause them too much trouble.
"Xiao Li, do you feel anything?"
Lu Qing asked casually and began to look around.
"Not yet." Xiao Li shook his head.
"Is there no treasure nearby..."
Lu Qing discovered that they were now in a space that was like a small world.
There was vast land all around, but no living creatures were seen. Thousands of miles away, there was a mountain that was like a pillar reaching the sky.
"It seems that we can only go that way."
Lu Qing held Xiao Li in his arms and used his skills to move towards the mountain in the distance.
With this movement, Lu Qing felt something different again.
If one were to use Taoist magic to travel, the amount of mana consumed per breath would be dozens of times more than that in the secret realm outside.
You know, traveling in the secret realm consumes a lot of mana, and it is even worse here.
Even his perfect golden elixir would feel a bit strenuous in the face of such consumption.
However, he also discovered that if it was physical strength, the consumption would not be so exaggerated.
Immediately, Lu Qing restrained his magic power and only used the strength of his physical body to continue on his journey.
Although this will be slower, the consumption is much smaller.
boom!
With one foot stepping on the ground, pushed by a powerful force, Lu Qing's figure left a trail of afterimages and quickly went towards the Tongtian Mountain.
After running for hundreds of miles, his footsteps suddenly paused and he stopped.
Not far ahead, I saw more than a dozen people sitting cross-legged on the ground, regulating their breathing.
However, these faces were all unfamiliar, and Lu Qing didn't know which force they belonged to.
"Is it him?!"
The dozen or so people also felt the movement, and when they opened their eyes, they were all shocked.
Lu Qing didn't recognize them, but they were very familiar with this person.
A few days ago, the other party hunted nearly a hundred Jindan-level monsters in succession, and then suppressed dozens of elite disciples from several major sects such as Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Sect by himself. The scene was still before their eyes.
Seeing such a ferocious god actually coming from behind them, the dozen people were surprised and became very alert.
They all saw with their own eyes the scene where Lu Qing robbed Yu Dahai and the others that day.
He was afraid that Lu Qing would be unhappy and rob him and others.
But they were obviously overthinking it, as Lu Qing had no interest in taking action against them at all.
After just looking at them for a few seconds, he stepped on the ground, set off again, passed them, and hurried forward quickly.
Seeing that Lu Qing did not attack them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at Lu Qing's quickly receding figure with a look of regret.
"I didn't expect this person to enter the ancient tower. As expected, he has the ability to enter the tower alone."
"To be honest, it's strange that he came in just now. He obviously has such strength, why would he waste his time on those strange beasts?"
"It seems that those strange beasts are indeed hiding great secrets, but unfortunately we are unable to crack them."
"It's good to have a strong body. It takes too much mana to travel in this space. It took us a whole day to get here. Judging from this guy's speed, he will reach Tongtian Mountain in less than half a day."
"There is no other way. We don't have many spirit stones and elixirs left. We'd rather go slower than use them all up here. Otherwise, without the support of mana, the heaviness of this space alone will be enough to make it difficult for us to move forward."
"That's right. I'd rather be safe and ensure that I have enough mana."
The crowd discussed for a while, and Lu Qing's figure had already disappeared. They were just about to continue regulating their breathing.
Suddenly, one of them looked moved: "Did you feel any movement?"
"Lao Mo, what did you say?"
Everyone else looked at him, but the next moment, their expressions changed and they all looked down at their feet.
They felt a murderous aura coming from underground.
However, before they could react, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a white light flashed across Lao Mo's body.
Then they saw that Lao Mo's expression suddenly froze, and the vitality in his body quickly disappeared.
The whole person split in half and fell to the ground. The smell of blood immediately filled the air.
"What the hell?!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately used their magic weapons to protect themselves.
At this moment, no one dared to talk about saving mana, and they all paid attention to the movements under their feet in panic.
Lao Mo was a powerful warrior who had reached the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, but in an instant, all his life force was extinguished by the white light and he died on the spot.
What exactly is the origin of that white light?
However, no matter how they sensed, they were unable to find out the situation underground.
I just felt a sense of evil moving quickly underground at an extremely fast speed.
Swish!
Just as everyone was on alert, the ground cracked and another white light flew out from the ground, flying towards another Jindan realm.
"go!"
This time, after being prepared, the Jindan realm reacted.
Under the urging of his mind, the magic flying sword that he had worked so hard to refine immediately slashed towards the white light.
bite!
The flying sword hit the white light accurately. With a crisp sound, the white light suddenly flew backwards and finally stayed in the air.
And only then did everyone see the true face of the white light.
Then, everyone was shocked.
"This is, Mantis?"
However, it was a strange beast that looked like a mantis.
However, it is as long as a human arm and looks much more ferocious than an ordinary mantis.
Especially the pair of blade feet, which were unusually long and emitted a chilling cold light. Just looking at them made one feel as if the soul was being cut into pieces.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that the white light they had just seen was transformed from the knife-like feet of the mantis beast.
"Kill this beast and avenge Old Mo!"
After finding out Bai Guang's background, everyone suddenly became angry.
The mantis beast in front of them was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm, but it had actually killed one of their companions with a sneak attack. How could they not be angry?
Immediately, more than a dozen Jindan realm warriors used their Taoist magic and magic weapons to attack the mantis monster.
Faced with so many attacks, the mantis monster tried its best to dodge but still couldn't avoid them completely.
In the end, even though his body was strong, it was torn to pieces by the attacks of the angry Jindan realm masters. After a scream, he was completely annihilated.
"What bad luck! As expected, this space is still dangerous. We were careless just now. Old Mo died so unjustly."
A powerful late Jindan realm expert looked at Lao Mo's corpse and said with some sorrow.
The others also fell silent.
They had been in this space for a full day.
They had been traveling all day and had not encountered any living creatures on the road.
Let them subconsciously think that there should be no danger in this space.
I didn't expect that such carelessness would cost Lao Mo his life.
"Well, now is not the time to be sad. Since Lao Mo came here to explore, he should have been prepared to die. Let's collect his body and continue on our journey."
The late Jindan realm master said.
After hearing this, the others also calmed down.
Having cultivated to their level, they have witnessed a lot of life and death.
The death of a companion certainly made them sad, but they would not back down.
Just when everyone was about to help Lao Mo collect the body, the next moment, their faces changed again.
However, everyone suddenly felt that a large amount of evil power suddenly surged out from deep underground and was rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh no! That mantis monster has a companion. Its scream just now was to call for its companions. Run!"
The man in the late Jindan stage suddenly woke up and roared loudly.
At the same time, he activated his magic weapon and quickly dodged to the side.
The others did the same. They didn't care about Lao Mo's body at all. They all desperately activated their magic weapons and Taoist spells and fled in all directions.
Just as they had moved away, the ground they had just stood on exploded within a radius of dozens of feet. A large amount of white light surged out, cutting everything around.
Lao Mo's body was torn to pieces in an instant, without even a trace left.
After the white light tore Lao Mo's body into pieces, it immediately pounced on the other Jindan realm powerhouses.
"It's over!"
The man in the late Jindan realm looked back and saw at least hundreds of white lights bursting out from the ground.
There were dozens of people chasing after him, and looks of despair immediately appeared on their faces.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
Lu Qing, who was on his way, suddenly felt Xiao Li climbing onto his shoulders and looking back.
"I have a bad feeling coming from behind." Xiao Li tilted his head and said.
"Not a good feeling?"
Lu Qing also sensed it.
However, due to the special nature of this space, the range of their spiritual perception was greatly compressed, so he did not sense anything.
"Is it those people we met before? What happened to them?" Lu Qing guessed.
But he thought about it and finally decided not to return.
Since you dared to break into the tower, you should just accept whatever happens to you as fate would have it.
He is not a pushover, but he is not interested in meddling in everything.
Besides, he had already run hundreds of miles away. If something really happened, it would be too late for him to rush back.
So after hesitating for a moment, Lu Qing continued to move forward.
Running all the way towards the towering mountain, after about an hour, Lu Qing finally arrived near the foot of the mountain.
