In the front, there was an aura as deep as an abyss, and a strange luster like a spider web blocked the road tightly. The majestic life essence was fluctuating, as if several demon gods were sleeping. No one dared to go forward, because that might awaken the demon gods.
Whether it was Xu Yang, Ji Daoxuan, or Huang Wujiu and other beings from the upper realm, they all felt this terrifying aura. As Xu Yang had expected, the primordial creatures they had encountered before were just appetizers, and the real ferocious beings were dormant and sleeping here.
"Young Master, what should we do?"
Ji Daoxuan looked at Xu Yang and asked.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yang said to Huang Wujiu:
"In order to avoid disturbing the beings inside, you should take your people out to guard first. Without my permission, no one is allowed to set foot here."
"As you command, Young Master."
Huang Wujiu respectfully accepted the order.
She also knew that there were too many people and too many eyes. If so many people were careless and awakened the sleeping primordial creatures inside, then they would probably all die in this place. Instead of that, it would be better to let the Young Master explore alone. She believed that with the Young Master's strength, even if he awakened the peerless ferocious being, he could retreat unscathed.
Huang Wujiu left with her people, including Qingzhi, who had been following Xu Yang.
After a while, everyone had retreated, leaving only Xu Yang and Ji Daoxuan in place.
The two looked at each other and stopped pretending. Ji Daoxuan cursed and said, "I'm so suffocated!"
Then he asked, "Brother Xu, are you sure you want to continue exploring this place? The big guy inside, I sensed it, is extraordinary. Anyway, lightning definitely won't kill it!"
"Brother Ji, you're wrong. In my perception, there's more than one big guy inside!" Xu Yang said.
Ji Daoxuan's expression changed, and he said, "Then shouldn't we hurry up and retreat? These alien races can all seize bodies!"
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes. Ji Daoxuan was seized last time and could still cut off his cultivation to survive. But this time, it is estimated that cutting off his tail would be useless. Based on what he sensed, the existence inside has a cultivation level at least several levels higher than them. No matter how many methods they have, in the face of absolute strength, it is futile.
Xu Yang smiled without saying a word, just raised his head and looked at this ancient bronze palace.
Ji Daoxuan frowned and hesitated, "Brother Xu, do you mean this ancient palace will help us?"
Xu Yang nodded and said, "Just now I completely let go of my perception and found that it's not that these alien races want to sleep, it's completely their helpless move!"
Ji Daoxuan was a bit confused and said with a dazed expression, "What does this mean?"
"You'll understand if you follow me."
Xu Yang took the lead and walked in, without any restraint, as if this was not a fierce place, but a scenic treasure land, truly unrestrained and free.
Seeing Xu Yang so relaxed and comfortable, Ji Daoxuan could only bite the bullet and follow.
After walking for a while, several strange auras intertwined and attacked Xu Yang and Ji Daoxuan. Xu Yang skillfully manipulated the ancient palace's array patterns, forming a thin armor of lightning on the outside of his body, isolating this strange aura from his body. Although he didn't know if absorbing this aura would have any impact on himself, it's better to be careful. If he can avoid being infected, he should try his best not to be infected.
Suddenly, Ji Daoxuan stopped and looked ahead, his eyes almost straightened, and he said in surprise:
"Brother Xu, look at that woman, she looks almost the same as us, could she be an alien race?"
It's no wonder Ji Daoxuan had this doubt, because all the alien races they had encountered along the way were strange-looking, with various limbs and trunks mixed together, just like chaotic monsters. Ordinary people would be affected in their minds if they took a look.
"Brother Ji, this woman is definitely an alien race, no doubt about it. Feel the aura emanating from her, it's completely opposite to our world, I can even feel this world is frantically rejecting her!"
Xu Yang said with certainty. In fact, he wasn't surprised that there were humanoid creatures among the alien races, because the place where he lived in his previous life was also full of human races, but the human races there were different from the human races in this world. The human races there couldn't cultivate at all, but instead embarked on another path, technology leading to the gods, but the progress was relatively slow, unlike this world, where they can really cultivate into gods and ascend to immortality. Therefore, it's normal for there to be humanoid creatures among the alien races.
Ji Daoxuan didn't ask such a stupid question as why everyone is a human race, why should they kill each other, because where there are people, there will be strife. People's desires are infinitely inflated and can't be satisfied at all. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, applies to any place, including the constant erosion of his world by alien races over these endless years. It's also the law of the jungle. If the way of heaven in this world were stronger, these alien races would have been backlashed long ago.
"Brother Xu, do you think she's really asleep?"
Ji Daoxuan stared at the woman for a while, and found that she had a delicate face and had an exotic style, and also found that she secretly blinked her eyelashes. This small action made his scalp tingle. If this woman was not asleep, then wouldn't all their conversations just now have been heard by her.
"Asleep, she has to sleep. Brother Ji, look at the stone jar placed in front of her!" Xu Yang said.
Ji Daoxuan looked in the direction Xu Yang pointed, and sure enough, not far in front of the woman, he found a stone jar, and this stone jar was full of grayish-white powder. These powders seemed to have been dried by the years, appearing ancient and vicissitudes, with a hazy luster overflowing outwards, covering the woman.
"Brother Xu, do you mean that this stone jar restricts the woman's actions and prevents her from waking up!"
As Ji Daoxuan spoke, he carefully observed the stone jar, and then his mind became immersed in it. Not long after, he suddenly woke up, as if he had been drowning for many years, his body was soaked in sweat, and his face appeared slightly pale, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Seeing Ji Daoxuan's appearance, Xu Yang understood in his heart that he must have seen that tragic scene.
"Brother Xu, the powder in that stone jar seems to be ashes."
Ji Daoxuan's lips were bitter, and he said with a stiff head.
"It is indeed ashes, and it has a great origin. It may be a figure at the level of an Immortal King. Let's continue to move forward!"
The reason why Xu Yang wasn't shocked or nervous was because he had experienced this kind of scene before. One time is unfamiliar, two times is familiar. He didn't intend to destroy the other party's arrangement, because if he accidentally made a mistake and let this alien woman escape, then they would all suffer.
Ji Daoxuan nodded. He was still a person with a bottom line. Although he was greedy for treasures, he didn't have much interest in this stone jar. The stone jar can hold the ashes of an Immortal King, which shows that its material is also very magical and special. It must be a divine object. The reason why he didn't take it was that, on the one hand, this stone jar was suppressing the alien woman, and on the other hand, if he were to take this stone jar, he would have to bear a certain cause and effect. He definitely couldn't bear the cause and effect of the Immortal King. It is estimated that even the entire Ji family combined couldn't bear it, so he never thought about taking the stone jar.
The two bypassed the alien woman from a distance, and just as they passed by, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, with a cyan light flashing in her eyes, pouncing towards Ji Daoxuan. Xu Yang had expected this and manipulated the ancient palace's array patterns, forming a lightning arc barrier three feet away from him, blocking the cyan light. However, this strand of cyan light seemed to contain terrifying power, and it directly broke through the barrier, unstoppable, attacking Ji Daoxuan.
Xu Yang thought this woman was terrible, but he didn't expect her to be so terrible. A casual glance could be so powerful that even the ancient palace's array patterns couldn't stop it. His expression suddenly became serious, and he was about to use the "Covering the Sky Sutra" to help Ji Daoxuan resolve this cyan light.
It was also at this moment that the grayish-white powder in the stone jar suddenly flew up from the jar, moving automatically without wind, forming a mysterious pattern in the void, like a kind of formation talisman, with ocean-like energy pouring out, not only obliterating the cyan light, but even falling on the woman, directly causing her to bleed from the corners of her mouth and her face to turn pale, obviously suffering heavy damage.
The alien woman stared at the stone jar with resentment, but she didn't dare to look at it a few more times, for fear that the stone jar would hit her a few more times, and hurriedly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
And the powder that had just flown up did not return to the stone jar, but fell on the ground like dust, losing all its luster, without the slightest spirituality. It can be noticed that the luster of the powder in the stone jar was becoming weaker and weaker than before.
Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a hint of worry arose in his heart, because it was obvious that the powder in this stone jar had gone through endless years and had been consumed a lot in the confrontation with the alien woman, leaving only a small part. He didn't know how long it could last. When all these powders were exhausted, wouldn't that mean that this alien woman would regain her freedom? By that time, I don't know how many creatures in this world would suffer misfortune.
At the thought of this, Xu Yang felt that time was pressing, and he couldn't allow himself to be slack in the slightest.
Beside him, Ji Daoxuan had a dazed look, his head was dizzy, and he asked Xu Yang:
"Brother Xu, what just happened? Why did I suddenly lose consciousness?!"
When Xu Yang heard Ji Daoxuan's words, his expression became even more serious. He didn't expect that the cyan light didn't fall on Brother Ji, but it could still make Brother Ji lose consciousness. If it had fallen on Brother Ji, it would have turned Brother Ji into a puppet on the spot.
'This alien woman is too strange, it's better to stay away from her first!'
Since crossing over, this alien woman was the first opponent Xu Yang had encountered that he felt he could not defeat. At least he was not strong enough to confront her now. So, he immediately said to Ji Daoxuan:
"Brother Ji, you were just tricked by this woman. Fortunately, this stone jar took action in time to stop this woman. Let's not stay here for long, let's continue to explore forward!"
Ji Daoxuan was startled. He relied on his firm will. Even if an alien race wanted to seize his body, it would take some effort. He didn't expect that the other party just glanced at him and he lost consciousness. This was simply beyond his imagination.
"Brother Xu, you're right, we can't stay here, let's go!"
Ji Daoxuan said very sincerely.
Since the unsealing of the Heavenly Dao, Ji Daoxuan has increasingly felt his insignificance. Anyone can handle him. This feeling is terrible. At the same time, it made him even more resentful of the alien race who wanted to seize his body. If it weren't for him, he might already be a famous figure in the upper realm. If he couldn't call the wind and rain, he would still be able to respond to every call.
The two then did not stop and continued to sweep forward. Almost every time they walked a distance, they could see alien races sealed in a turbid amber, and in front of them, there was also a stone jar, but the size of the stone jars was different, and the powder inside was also different, as if they were divided according to the strength of the alien races.
Xu Yang and Ji Daoxuan seemed to have a tacit understanding, and chose to avoid these ambers, keeping a distance, and not giving them a chance to open their eyes. Almost instantly, they moved away from these ambers. Vaguely, Xu Yang felt several strong resentments. These resentments seemed to be caused by their choice to detour.
And this also strengthened Xu Yang's idea that he must not give these alien races a chance to open their eyes.
The two flew quickly towards the depths of the ancient palace. Along the way, they encountered many rare treasures, but because they were too close to the alien amber, the two did not go forward to pick them up, as if they did not see them. This made many alien races who wanted to use the two to no avail, and because of this, they resented the two, determined that when they escaped, they would retaliate against these two fiercely at the first time.
Xu Yang didn't know about these alien races' thoughts. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off, because based on Xu Yang's cultivation speed, it was still questionable whether these alien races would have a chance to escape.
After driving for several hours, the road inside became more and more spacious, and the stone jars became less and less, and the alien amber that was suppressed became more and more powerful. Even some alien amber, although it was very far away, Xu Yang and Ji Daoxuan had a feeling that they were right next to them, and they were closely attached to them. A cold breath rose from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. In a trance, it seemed that countless pairs of scarlet eyes were looking at them, which was very scary and creepy.
Fortunately, Xu Yang's physique was special. Whether it was the Zhiyang Dao Body or the Tyrant Body, they all restrained this breath. Therefore, when this breath attacked, Xu Yang mobilized the blazing blood in his body like a big sun, and tried his best to extinguish this breath. By the way, he helped Ji Daoxuan next to him resolve this breath, and then the two did not hesitate, did not stop at all, and swept forward. Xu Yang had a hunch that not far in front of them should be the end of this ancient palace!
