Chapter 1152 The Trial of the Undying Wood Illusion (1)
The sins of Heaven may be forgiven, but the sins of oneself are unforgivable!
This reversal left Su Xiaoya speechless, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Indeed—all things are empty, but cause and effect are not.
Yan Shuo's attempt to outsmart the enemy backfired this time; he shot himself in the foot and brought trouble upon himself.
However, it seems to have nothing to do with them?
But this doesn't make sense, does it?
Su Xiaoya couldn't help but frown.
Based on their experience of venturing into various secret realms and illusions over the years, they couldn't have been sent to the Southern Wilderness for no reason. It felt as if an invisible hand was controlling everything from behind.
The crucial point is that another illusion appears—the 'Eternal Wood' illusion!
Although Su Xiaoya didn't actually sense any malice.
However, they had no clue what to do at the moment—there was too little information.
However, the urgency that had always been there was now even more pronounced, like a mountain pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe.
Su Xiaoya knew that their departure from Qingyuan Star was imminent.
All they could do before that was to do their utmost to improve their strength, as if searching for a glimmer of light in the darkness.
This will also eliminate as many hidden dangers as possible on Qingyuan Star, removing any worries, just like clearing away all obstacles for a ship about to set sail.
Well, the problem is coming.
What exactly do they need to do on this trip?
Yes, that legendary "Eternal Wood"?
Or perhaps, the mysterious and unpredictable spirit of the "Emberless Wood"—Ember?
Or perhaps, it's the Wind Domain, one of the three mysterious domains?
……
Su Xiaoya rubbed her forehead.
She really couldn't confirm it in a short time—there were too few clues.
The information asymmetry left her feeling like she was groping in the fog, unable to find her way in a short period of time.
Yu Shuheng stood beside Su Xiaoya, his brows furrowed as he stared at the Wood Spirit of the 'Unburnt Wood', deep in thought—as if pondering an unsolvable puzzle.
He shared the same sentiment as Su Xiaoya.
I had a feeling that this trip to the Southern Wilderness would not be easy; it was like climbing a steep mountain, with every step fraught with challenges.
The question is, will this opportunity be a blessing or a curse?
Only Su Mingyi had bright, sparkling eyes, and his whole body was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, as if every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.
He truly couldn't believe that training alongside his younger sister and Yu Shuheng would be so exciting and diverse!
Although, there were several times when I faced life-or-death situations!
However, the rewards were also enormous, like discovering an oasis in the desert, which brought immense joy.
I wonder what kind of experiences I'll have this time in the Southern Wilderness?
Really been waiting!
Su Mingyi was even more excited after the appearance of the wood spirit of the "Unburnt Wood"—"Jin".
He was restless and eager to get out of there, like a fledgling eagle that had just learned to soar, longing to fly freely in the sky...
Xuanluo's three heads looked at each other, each seeing a look of utter horror in the other's eyes.
They were completely bewildered. Why had the original three-domain war suddenly turned into an even more ancient and dangerous game?
They had perused all the ancient records of the Three-Headed Kingdom, but had never heard of the "Unburnt Wood" possessing a spirit, let alone any ancient covenant.
However, the pressure emanating from "Jin" was as heavy as Mount Tai crushing an egg, like an insurmountable mountain.
It was an existence that surpassed any powerful being in the three domains, as if it had merged with the entire Crimson Flame Volcano and the earth beneath its feet.
To everyone's surprise, it was Yun Li.
Among the three domains, Yun Li was the first to make a decision. She stepped forward like an arrow, bowed, and said, "Wushan Domain is willing to accept the test."
Yan Shuo gritted his teeth, unwilling but forced to compromise, and took a step forward, saying in a deep voice, "The Crimson Flame Domain will participate."
Kua Feng raised an eyebrow arrogantly: "Feng Ling Domain will not back down!"
What kind of ridiculous test is this?
They're acting all mysterious; I don't know who they're trying to scare.
However, he is no coward.
If Yan Shuo and Yun Li dared to go, how could he possibly back down? Naturally, he would accompany them to the end.
Seeing that the three agreed, "Jin" nodded slightly in satisfaction. He didn't like those who disobeyed him, just as he didn't actually like the feeling of being roasted under the scorching sun.
But who can blame him when he's now the Wood Spirit of the Undying Wood—"Jin"!
Ugh!
Looking forward to meeting the right person!
The agitated "Jin" was on the verge of exploding again. But he couldn't!
I forced myself to suppress my frustration and got back to work!
It only awakens once every ten thousand years, so we can't waste it.
"Jin" retracted his chaotic thoughts, and with a seemingly leisurely wave of his hand, the seven leaves instantly shone brightly like seven blazing suns, enveloping Kuafeng, Yanshuo, and Yunli.
In an instant, the three of them froze as if under a spell, their eyes vacant and lifeless, like three soulless shells, their consciousness clearly pulled into an illusion.
"As for you..." Jin looked at the rest of the group, his sharp, hawk-like gaze seemingly able to pierce through the souls of everyone in the Three Realms as he surveyed them. "Just wait here. If anyone makes a rash move, or if all three of them die in the illusion, the 'Unburnt Wood' will unleash the earth fire accumulated over a thousand years. At that time, the Three Realms will be reduced to scorched earth."
As "Jin" finished speaking, an invisible pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, directly pressed down on everyone in the three realms.
The lava giant immediately sank back into the lava lake, as if a weary giant were hurriedly returning to his lair.
The Fire Raven guards retreated like a tide, their figures flickering in the firelight, like a flock of startled fire ravens hastily searching for a new safe haven.
The warriors of the Wind Spirit Domain landed as lightly as birds, their figures agile, as if dancing in the wind.
However, not a single general made a sound.
Like a gentle breeze—it passed by silently.
The maids of Wushan returned to their positions like butterflies in flight, their movements elegant, as if showcasing their grace.
……
Everyone was forced to cease fighting, staring intently at the three motionless figures, silently protecting their respective leaders and praying for their safety.
Xuanluo's three heads sighed in unison, as if three silent mountains were murmuring.
The Shenmu Festival is indeed a time of turmoil and unrest!
The turbulent situation, like surging waves, is turbulent and fierce, far exceeding anyone's expectations. It is like a runaway beast, and no one knows when or where it will unleash such a storm, or what the outcome will be this time.
Although "Jin" did not allow the three-headed man to enter, Xuan Luo was not disappointed at all.
Their three-headed people had been around for nearly ten thousand years, but their numbers were dwindling, like a candle flickering in the wind. They couldn't afford to lose even a little bit, so naturally he wouldn't let his people take any risks.
Of course, if "Jin" were to ask for it, Xuan Luo wouldn't be able to refuse, since he couldn't refuse either.
