A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 514: Dead End and Opportunity

If it weren't for the green light threads and black soul threads repairing his soul, the origin of his soul would probably still be in a state of collapse.

If there is no external repair, it will take countless years for these soul fragments to merge naturally again. Once the years go on for too long, people in this state are called living dead, which means their souls have disappeared.

No one can be sure whether these soul fragments can be integrated and whether this person can wake up?

Although Duan Rong was in a coma, he clearly felt that just when the green light and black soul threads were repairing his soul, he was whipped three times again!

Not only did Xiao Qiwu kill him during the execution in the daytime, but now in the Wanxiang Cave, he whipped him three times even though he was already unconscious and his mind was damaged!

This person has ulterior motives and will obviously not stop until he beats him to death!

"Xiao Qiwu and I have no grudges against each other, why does he want to kill me?" Duan Rong's eyes flashed coldly in the darkness.

However, he quickly put the question aside.

Xiao Qiwu's motive for killing him was a matter for afterthought; the most important thing now was to resolve the current dilemma.

Lu Yinlin imprisoned him in the Wanxiang Cave in order to train him. Zhu He explained this to him very clearly in the dungeon of the Judgment and Rectification Office.

But the problem now is that Xiao Qiwu, the elder who is in charge of Wanxiang Cave, wants to kill him.

The Wanxiang Cave immediately turned into a killing situation!

Lu Yinlin was training him in the Wanxiang Cave, which was inherently dangerous. Xiao Qiwu had obviously grasped this point and wanted to use it to deceive others and kill him without making any noise.

"Is he really that evil?!" Duan Rong felt furious.

He was thrown into the Wanxiang Cave alone, and after he had been unconscious for several hours, Xiao Qiwu was able to enter here again and whipped him three more times.

This meant that Xiao Qiwu's intention to kill him had not been discovered. Lu Yinlin obviously didn't know.

When he was tortured during the day, Zhu He should have been aware of the situation. Why would he let him stay alone in the Wanxiang Cave, and why would Xiao Qiwu come in again and whip him three more times?

Duan Rong felt that Zhu He must have noticed something, but for some reason, something must have changed that allowed Xiao Qiwu to hide the truth from Zhu He.

After some analysis, Duan Rong suddenly realized that his situation was very bad.

Not only was he trapped in a killing situation, but he also had to face a powerful being from the Cavern Netherworld Realm alone.

He subconsciously touched his neck. The Dew-Drinking Cicada that he had been wearing close to his body was taken off during the execution.

"It seems that Xiao Qiwu had planned this all along!"

Now, Duan Rong finally understood why Xiao Qiwu insisted on taking down his Dew Drinking Cicada. It turned out that it was just to make it easier to kill him in this Wanxiang Cave!

Xiao Qiwu was so scheming just to take advantage of the danger of Wanxiang Cave to kill him without making any noise.

This person not only wants to kill me, but also wants to get away with it after killing me!

Duan Rong couldn't bear such an ending!
He must find a chance to turn the tables in this murderous situation!
Although he was facing a dangerous situation, and his opponent was a cunning and powerful man from the Dongming realm.

But since he was being plotted against like this, even if he really died here, he would find a way to break all of Xiao Qiwu's teeth.

Duan Rong recalled the pain of his soul exploding when he was whipped three times on the execution platform, which was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. Moreover, when he was unconscious in the Wanxiang Cave, Xiao Qiwu whipped him three more times, almost whipping his corpse! ?
Is it tolerable or not? !

No matter what the cost, he would never let this guy succeed in his evil plan!
Duan Rong suddenly looked around in the darkness.

In order to find a chance to turn the tables in this killing game, he must first understand the magic of the Wanxiang Cave as soon as possible.

Zhu He explained to him the origin of the Wanxiang Cave and some basic information in the prison of the Judgment and Clan Affairs Bureau.

Therefore, Duan Rong knew that this Wanxiang Cave was created by the talisman array.

As the elder in charge of Wanxiang Cave, Xiao Qiwu only has the ability to enter and exit the formation.

As for the situation inside the Wanxiang Cave, it operates according to established rules and is out of control.

This is obviously good news for Duan Rong.

In other words, although Xiao Qiwu is the elder in charge of Wanxiang Cave, Wanxiang Cave was established by the sect's ancestors of all generations. He can only enter and exit but cannot control it.

This shows that Xiao Qiwu cannot control the Wanxiang Cave to attack him.

If he could understand the operating rules of the Wanxiang Cave as soon as possible, perhaps the turning point for his comeback might be hidden in the Wanxiang Cave!
He obviously didn't have enough strength to deal with a strong man like Xiao Qiwu in the Cavern Realm directly, so he had to take advantage of the situation. He was now trapped in the Wanxiang Cave, and the only situation he could take advantage of was the operating rules of the Wanxiang Cave. He had to find a way to thoroughly understand the operating rules of the Wanxiang Cave.

If he failed to find a chance to turn the tables here, he would probably be finished with this game, because he really couldn't see any chance of survival in other directions.

Although after being hit by the divine whip six times, the essence of his soul in his spiritual sea of consciousness transformed into a clear and pure glass body. The strength of his soul obviously made a qualitative leap in his strength.

But no matter how powerful his soul is, he is only a cultivator in the Cyclone Realm. How can he compete with the elders in the Cave and Netherworld Realm?

The surroundings were filled with a thick, endless darkness that seemed to have no end in sight. In the darkness, densely packed ghost eyes flickered...

Duan Rong knew that the talisman formation in the Wanxiang Cave was isolated from the detection of spiritual consciousness. His spiritual consciousness could not be released, and the spiritual consciousness from outside could not penetrate in.

He stood up and slowly took half a step forward.

He took only half a step when suddenly three ghost eyes appeared and stared at him instantly.

Duan Rong felt a chill all over his body, as if he was instantly enveloped by murderous intent.

There were three ghost eyes right above his head, with spots of light flashing.

At that moment, his mind was shrouded by the three spots of light.

Within the light spot, there are thousands of lights and shadows, and a murderous intent.

The light and shadow were all traces of swords flashing in the dark.

Countless lights and shadows enveloped and killed him!

In Duan Rong's spiritual sea of consciousness, densely packed sword and knife shadows descended from the sky and slashed at the grey shadow that had transformed into a clear glass body.

Duan Rong's body was tense, his eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and he felt a wave of pain in his soul again.

The ghost eye spots in the Wanxiang Cave are all attacks from the soul!

In the sea of spiritual consciousness, the lights and shadows of swords and sabers filled the sky as if they were real. After a series of intensive attacks, the surface of the gray phantom of the clear glass body was actually left with many tiny cracks.

The pair of glass eyes of the gray shadow watched the light and shadow in the sky fade away with anger.

After the attack, in the Wanxiang Cave, the three ghost eyes on Duan Rong’s head disappeared into the darkness.

Duan Rong slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. The pain in his soul just now was not pleasant.

He stood there for a while, with a strong strange color flashing in his eyes.

"In this Wanxiang Cave, it is just as Zhu He said. As long as you don't move, you won't be attacked. Once you move, it will trigger the ghost eye spots in the relevant area, and then trigger an attack." If someone with a weaker mind was attacked by that wave of attacks just now, he would probably have been injured in the soul.

Even though his soul was so powerful, that wave of attacks still left many tiny cracks on the surface of the gray shadow of the clear glass body.

Duan Rong was thrown in at first. He was in a coma at that time, so naturally his ghost eye was not triggered.

After he woke up, he crossed his legs and practiced the Taizang Sutra, but he didn't move around, so he didn't get attacked. He just took half a step and was immediately attacked by three ghost eyes.

No one knew how big this Wanxiang Cave was, but in the darkness, those ghost eyes that flickered on and off were so densely packed that they seemed endless.

To get out of this Wanxiang Cave is indeed a test of life and death!

In fact, to get out of this cave of all things, you must find a path that suits you.

Because everyone's soul is different and the state of mind they comprehend is different, when facing different ghost eye light attacks, the light and shadows in the sky, and the damage caused to the soul in the sea of consciousness, are different.

The so-called life and death barrier is to select the area you want to trigger through the understanding and identification of the attacks of those ghost eye light spots, and form a "road" through the connection of these areas to walk out of the Wanxiang Cave.

And this process usually takes several months or even years!
Regarding this point, Zhu He had already explained it very clearly to Duan Rong in the dungeon of the Judgment Bureau.

However, it is impossible for Duan Rong to stay here for several months or even years.

Because Xiao Qiwu would come and whip him three times every night, how many times could he bear it? Even if he could bear it, once Xiao Qiwu found that he could recover, he would not just whip him three times, maybe six, maybe ten!
Can he bear it too?
Xiao Qiwu would not kill him directly, as that would expose his murderous intentions.

He would use the divine whip to beat his soul to the brink of extinction, and then let him dissipate on his own in the Wanxiang Cave.

This is the only way to kill him calmly and absolve yourself of your guilt.

He definitely can't afford to waste several months or even several years!
Wanxiang Cave! ?

The murderous Wanxiang Cave! ?

Others may have months or years to slowly explore, but he did not, he only had a few hours, at most a few days!
And even if it takes a few days, it would be very dangerous for him!

"This Wanxiang Cave!? How to break it!?"

Duan Rong looked at the densely packed, flickering ghost eyes in the darkness. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, his eyes flashing deeply.

If he can't figure out the Wanxiang Cave as quickly as possible, he will have no chance!

If you don’t do it, you will die!
In fact, he had no choice at all!
Duan Rong suddenly went crazy and ran wildly in the Wanxiang Cave!
Once you move, you will trigger the ghost eye light spots in the relevant area, and you will be attacked by the ghost eye light spots. This is one of the operating rules of the Wanxiang Cave.

According to this rule, Duan Rong is simply courting death by running so wildly!
He had only taken half a step when he triggered the attack of three ghost eye lights. His sea of consciousness was already filled with sword and saber lights, which had already cut several tiny cracks on the surface of the gray shadow's clear glass body.

He was running so wildly, and who knew how many attacks from ghost eyes would be triggered. Could he really bear it?
As Duan Rong ran wildly, endless spots of ghostly eyes began to stare at him like pupils.

Originally, in the darkness, those ghost eye spots were flickering on their own. Now Duan Rong was running wildly, triggering a large area of ghost eye spots, which were suspended there and stared at him in unison...

At this moment, the large area of ghost eyes seemed real.

At the same time, in Duan Rong's spiritual sea of consciousness, the mottled light and shadows of knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes and other weapons were endless, like a dense swarm of bees, whistling towards the clear glass body sitting cross-legged in the void...

The chilling murderous intent filled the air, drowning the sea of consciousness...

Duan Rong and the gray shadow were in sync with each other. Looking at the scene in his sea of consciousness, his scalp was tingling, but he did not stop and continued running wildly...

He knew this was his only chance.

He did not have months or even years to slowly explore the Wanxiang Cave.

If he couldn't hold on, under the intensive attacks of the ghost eye spots in the Wanxiang Cave while running wildly, then he would definitely lose this round! Losing means death!
Although this is adventurous and crazy!
But he had no choice!
Duan Rong was running and suddenly bumped into the darkness.

The darkness there was as black as ink and nothing could be seen, but the real touch of hitting there made Duan Rong know that he had reached the edge of the Wanxiang Cave.

Duan Rong's body froze, and the pain of his soul being torn apart almost made him faint.

But once he stopped here, the ghost eyes that were originally staring at him began to flicker again in the darkness.

Duan Rong suddenly understood. The edge of the Wanxiang Cave was able to block the attack of the ghost eye light spot.

At this moment, in Duan Rong's spiritual sea of consciousness, the mottled light and shadows of knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes and other weapons that filled the sky like a swarm of bees also dissipated in an instant.

The dense lights and shadows faded away, and the murderous intent in the sky dissipated.

The gray shadow of the clear glass body that was originally sitting cross-legged in the center of the sky has been shattered. Half of the head of the clear glass body on the surface has been smashed, and the body is covered with dense, spider-web-like cracks, and countless large and small pits!
Where the half of the head was smashed, a gray shadow was churning, and faint star-like spots could be seen flashing inside.

Duan Rong sat cross-legged at the edge of the Wanxiang Cave, and the Taizang Sutra's skills were put into practice again. The thirteen stars slowly rotated, shining brightly.

And in the sea of tree spirit light, a green light thread rose up again and swam towards the broken clear glass body in the sky.

The green light threads intertwined within the grey shadow, and as they intertwined and floated, they were gradually absorbed by the grey shadow.

Duan Rong could feel that his injured soul essence was recovering bit by bit, and the fine cracks on the clear glass body sitting cross-legged in the void in the sea of spiritual consciousness were also healing bit by bit...

About an incense stick later, the clear glass body sitting cross-legged in the void within the sea of spiritual consciousness had returned to normal. Not only was the entire body clear and bright, but it seemed to have an even brighter luster than before...

Duan Rong suddenly understood.

He ran wildly in the Wanxiang Cave, triggering a large area of ghost eye spots. The endless attacks of those ghost eye spots and the fierce murderous intent in his sea of consciousness obviously further tempered his soul.

The clear glass body that is the origin of his soul is even more lustrous, which is the proof!
Duan Rong suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness. He had no time to rejoice at the changes in his clear glass body, because the dilemma before him remained unresolved.

After repairing the damage to his soul, Duan Rong stood up and looked at the ghost eye spots that flickered in the darkness. Standing at the edge of the Wanxiang Cave, the ghost eye spots seemed to be in another time and space.

Duan Rong then carefully stretched out his hand and rubbed the void where he had bumped into before.

As soon as his palm touched that area, he felt a real touch in the void. He must have touched something, but he didn't know what it was.

"Maybe it's the space wall of the talisman array?"

Duan Rong thought to himself that after this period of contact, he was not completely unfamiliar with the talisman formation.

He then walked along the edge of the Wanxiang Cave, groping as he went, his palm stroking through the dark void, the real touch of his palm continuous.

Duan Rong's eyes were constantly fixed on the flickering ghost eye spots in the Wanxiang Cave beside him. As long as he took a wrong step and stepped into the area of the Wanxiang Cave, the ghost eye spots would be triggered to attack his soul.

In fact, strictly speaking, he has already walked out of the Wanxiang Cave.

Because he was already standing on the edge of the Wanxiang Cave. If he had a formation card, he could get out.

But this is not enough!
He must understand this Wanxiang Cave better, explore it, and figure out the rules by which the Wanxiang Cave operates.

He found the hidden hope for a comeback in the operating rules of Wanxiang Cave.

This is the only way he can find to survive in this dead end.
