This Fusang Tree was huge to begin with, and its branches were intertwined in a complicated manner. After passing through a few large branches, Ding Hong hid behind a large tree trunk and looked at them from afar.

Seeing Ding Hong's actions, the Puppet's face turned cold, hurriedly staring at him, wanting to see where he could go. However, he never thought that Ding Hong would hide, much less think that he would hide on top of his head.

At this time, the other nine golden crows had already heard their companion's shout, and they all simultaneously replied with "wuwuwuwu" sounds, flying over to this place.

Pei Gui and Zhong Chao's expressions changed. After giving Xi Feng a meaningful glance, they hid together with Zhong Chao inside the tree trunk. After seeing them leave, the phoenix pointed at the tunnel and it immediately sealed it up again.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ding Hong, who was standing on a tall tree branch, suddenly sneered when he saw Xi Huang finish casting the spell.

"This Xi Huang really has some problems with those people from the Fusang Royal Family …" Ding Hong muttered to himself.

After doing this series of actions, Xi Feng's body suddenly emitted a ball of fire and a pair of wings appeared on his back. Ding Hong was surprised to find that the Phoenix Perch was similar to the Golden Crow.

This...

Ding Hong's face changed. Could it be that this Phoenix Perch was related to the Golden Crow? He was afraid that Xifeng and the Golden Crow's cultivation were higher than his, so he quickly hid his body when he saw that he was invisible. He was not worried about the problem of missing the pass in between the mulberry trees, because the information was clearly written on it. He really did not know how the Hundred Daybreaks Pavilion got their hands on it.

After wandering around the golden crow for a while, the phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it had gone somewhere else.

Ding Hong hid behind the tree trunk for a while. When he found that nothing unexpected happened, he looked around. He found a place where the four tree trunks intersected. According to the intelligence, there was a very hidden passageway at the fork in the tree trunk. When Ding Hong was drawing the pattern on the puppet earlier, he had been observing it on the side, constantly analyzing it in his mind. At this moment, he too was drawing the same picture. However, after going back and forth several times, he finally opened the tunnel to that place. He felt extremely depressed.

The passageway was still as dark as before. Nothing could be seen. Ding Hong carefully walked forward, carefully listening to the sounds around him, deeply afraid that he would collide with Pei Gui and the others in the darkness.

However, Ding Hong really wanted to run into them, because he wanted to know if something would happen between the Zerg and the Zhong Dynasty.

In the darkness, Ding Hong could only rely on the information given to him to roughly determine his position.

Suddenly, he heard a small voice whispering in the darkness. Ding Hong immediately stomped his feet and lightly leaned backwards. Someone in the darkness said, "Junior Sister, you said that we have been thrown here by eldest senior brother for nearly a day, but we have yet to find that passageway."

A woman replied, "Senior Brother, don't complain. I'm a weak girl, yet I've been wandering around here with you for almost a day."

The voice from before sighed, and then said: "What exactly is this Li Shu? Why must eldest senior brother be so secretive to us? and told us only one way to go. "

The woman said, "How would I know? "Oh yeah, senior brother, yesterday I saw a young man in the inner city of Fusang. He has the same aura as the man I met before, do you think there's any connection?"

Oh? | "Was it when I used the Eight Treasures Mirror to find the Heavenly Sage Stone?

"Yeah." The woman said, "Do you remember when we were on our way back, we saved two people?"

"That seems to have happened before. What's wrong?"

The woman said: "Yesterday, I saw that young man was similar to that old man. Both of them had Yin-Yang energy, but that young man's cultivation is probably already at the Second Sky of the Nascent Soul Stage. I wonder if he is the young man we saved that day."

After listening to their conversation, Ding Hong's heart brightened. Based on yesterday's scene, he deduced that the woman should be Violet Frost, and the man who spoke should be the Half Immortal whom he met two years ago. After hearing what she said, Ding Hong was elated. He thought that his cultivation base was actually so high that even he didn't know how it could be like this. In actuality, if he really started calculating, his highest cultivation level would only be at the fifth layer. It was only because he had a Yin Yang formation that allowed him to communicate with the spiritual force of heaven and earth that the woman mistakenly assumed that he was at least at the sixth layer.

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying that the young man must have obtained something from the Heaven Sage Stone?"

Zi Shuang said, "It's possible."

The man sighed and said, "Even so, we can't just go up and ask others for that? Since you didn't let me find it last time, it means that you have no fate with me, Ye Yuman, so what are you going to ask it for? "

Upon hearing his words, Zi Shuang smiled. "No wonder your cultivation increases by leaps and bounds, Senior Brother. So it's because your dao heart is so natural."

Ye Yu Sang laughed and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's continue walking up." "I felt a Spiritual Energy fluctuation down there. It must be because Fu Sang and the others have made some movements. Let's hurry up."

Zi Shuang said, "Alright."

A light footstep could be heard, then the sound of footsteps could be heard as he walked further and further away. It seemed as if he had left.

When Ding Hong heard their conversation and heard some information about Li Shu, his heart moved. If Li Shu had some sort of relationship with Li Zhu's fire sword, then he would definitely gain some benefits. He didn't hesitate and immediately followed in the direction where they came from. However, he was still groping in the dark and had only relied on the map provided by the intelligence report. After tossing and turning back and forth for a while, Ding Hong suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

He got lost. To lose one's way in such a place, where one did not know the terrain, the consequences were obvious. As he thought about it, Ding Hong couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He quickly calmed himself and recalled the paths he had taken and compared them with the map in his mind. He continued to walk forward. However, just as he took five steps, a red light suddenly emerged from underneath his feet. It wrapped around him as he passed through the sturdy trees above his head. In an instant, he arrived at another place that was filled with lava.

The place Ding Hong was on was a floating platform, surrounded by some floating rocks that were constantly changing directions. Beneath the platform were bubbling lava. "Gulu gulu" sounds came from below, causing the dizzy Ding Hong to feel a chill in his heart.

After waking up, Ding Hong started to carefully observe this place. He must have stepped into some secret passageway that led to him being thrown here. Looking at the surroundings, it should be a formation blocking their path.

Ding Hong was stunned and mumbled, "Huh? Why can't I feel the surrounding spiritual energy? Could it be that it was purposely to prevent people from passing through here on their flying swords? " However, he only sighed with emotion because even if he could control the sword here, he could not. In contrast, he was somewhat excited.

But a cultivator couldn't use the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth; their cultivation couldn't be used at all!

As things stood, Ding Hong could only brace himself and charge forward.

The surrounding temperature was very high. Ding Hong was sweating profusely just by staying here for a short while, but he couldn't care about that much as he focused on observing the maze.

The maze was formed by many transformed floating stones. Every floating stone slowly moved, and after a certain distance, it would alternate. Some of the stones that had reached a dead end would slowly sink into the magma before floating back up. Ding Hong could not help but curse in his heart. After looking at it for a long time, he realized that many of the flotsam would sink into the magma and come out with a fiery red magma. If he were to step on it, would he turn into a pig's foot? But then he discovered that the pumice stones would stop every once in a while, and the magma would dry up just in time.

After observing everything clearly, Ding Hong no longer hesitated. He first drank a mouthful of the liquid that he brought out from Penglai, then went to the boulder at the beginning of the maze, ready to charge into the array. Ding Hong could clearly feel the cold sweat on his forehead. If he accidentally found the wrong path in this maze, then what awaited him was a dead end, an irreparable calamity.

He stood on the floating rock and observed left and right. When the floating rock was about fifteen meters away, Ding Hong walked towards a floating rock to the right. His eyes flashed and his body moved. He jumped onto a piece of rock that just happened to be directly below him and started to float backwards. The rock that was originally flying upwards started to move upwards and finally hit the top of the building.

When Ding Hong saw this scene, he sucked in a breath of cold air. He continued to look around to see how he was going to go.

After walking for less than an hour, Ding Hong felt exhausted all over. Under the state of high concentration, it was too easy for him to get tired. However, he did not dare to relax even a little, because once he relaxed, he would have to die! Although there was more than one way to survive, there weren't many. Every time a mistake was made, it was possible to adjust the formation. If the opportunity to adjust was lost, then one would die without a burial. For example, Ding Hong had just changed a piece of rock, but suddenly felt his heart tremble because he realized that the piece of rock beneath his feet must pass by one of the other three pieces of rock. However, one piece of the three pieces of rock would sink into the magma, one would rise into the air, and the other would go straight back a bit further.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and all the hairs on his body stood up straight. He suddenly turned around and leaped backwards with all his strength. This jump was truly the limit. He jumped ten feet in an instant!

Under normal circumstances, if a martial artist wanted to use Qing Gong techniques, they would have to use the circulation of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to connect to the Spiritual Acupoints of the human body. However, Ding Hong's leap did not involve borrowing any Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was completely based on his instincts' explosive strength. Even so, Ding Hong still did not jump onto the floating rock.

His hands came in contact with the floating rock, and he quickly grabbed onto it. His body flipped and jumped onto the floating rock. After that, he used more energy than he could muster just now. After clearly seeing where he was going, he jumped over to another floating rock.

He felt as if there was a mountain in front of his eyes, making him unable to open his eyes. He quickly took another sip of the liquid, adjusted his mind, and started to look for the next step.

After toiling for nearly two hours, he finally saw the end. The sweat on Ding Hong's body was like water, dripping off his body. If not for the miraculous liquids he drank multiple times, he would have become a dried up man.

He took a breath, knowing that he must not be careless at the end.

At the end of the bridge was a stone bridge filled with floating rocks. It was just like the legendary Bridge of Helplessness. The only difference was that the water beneath the bridge was not yellow spring water, but scorching hot lava. The floating rock slowly moved forward and stopped in front of a large stone platform. Although the floating rock stopped, Ding Hong did not move. He looked at the stone bridge and had a nagging feeling that this stone bridge was even weirder than the maze. Suddenly, the floating rock had traces of turning back. This situation was beyond his control. He could only take a step forward and collapse as he stood on the stone platform, looking at the stone bridge.

However, after staring for a long time, he could not find anything suspicious.

Ding Hong's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he hurriedly looked behind him.

"Hmm? Someone is coming! " Ding Hong frowned, but did not dare to move recklessly.

After a while, Xi Feng slowly floated over from the floating rock. But looking at her, she seemed to be a lot more relaxed than Ding Hong. At this moment, Ding Hong's heart was in his throat. If the peregrine phoenix could see him, then he might as well jump into the magma himself …

10 steps, 9 steps, 8 steps, 7 steps …

One step!

After that, she took a step onto the large stone platform. She seemed to have sensed something, and when she looked around, she did not see anything.

She stood in front of the stone bridge for a while, then walked up. Once she went up, the stone bridge suddenly released a bright light. It unexpectedly split into three Northern Dipper Formations, and the place where the stone bridge used to be suddenly darkened and turned into a starry sky!

When Ding Hong saw this situation, he could not help but have a strange feeling sublimated as goosebumps involuntarily appeared all over his body. The current scene was as if he was standing in the starry sky of the night, mysterious and magnificent.

When the phoenix saw the Northern Dipper Formation come out, it looked around and stepped into the second Northern Dipper Formation. Seeing her like this, Ding Hong didn't even think about whether she came here on purpose or not. He didn't hesitate to follow and quietly stood behind her, following her footsteps. After Xihuang stepped on the second Big Dipper Formation, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The other two Northern Dipper Formations disappeared, leaving only Xi Feng and Ding Hong standing on them. The only other Northern Dipper Formation suddenly moved after taking a breath. That's right, he was the one who was moving.

When the Northern Dipper Formation completely rotated to the opposite direction from before, the Northern Dipper Formation suddenly disappeared. The feeling of being in space also disappeared. A chaotic vortex suddenly appeared around them, and they were all in the center of it. Below their feet was a very large jade stone tablet, and on the jade stone tablet was carved a middle-aged man with his eyes closed.

This jade tablet wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Ding Hong quietly stood on it and even hid from Xi Feng, deeply afraid that he would discover it. He felt very uncomfortable. The whirlpool spun ferociously, and from time to time, there was a faint flash of lightning. Occasionally, a picture would appear in the whirlpool.

Xi Feng stood on the jade tablet and formed a seal as he chanted, "Heaven not yet, Li Shu, open!"

Li Shu!" Ding Hong was overjoyed. He never thought that his blind cat would be able to run into this kind of a problem. After Yu Huang finished her incantation, the whirlpool that was revolving around them lit up, and then suddenly broke open, revealing the surrounding scene.

A passageway suddenly appeared in front of the jade monument, and this passageway was actually the same as the one in the Fusang Inner City. However, it was a bit short, and one could still see a black-purple door of light in front of it. At this point, the road widened and Ding Hong let out a sigh of relief. He quietly hid to the side and followed behind his follower, Xi Huang.

At this moment, Xi Huang did not stop and walked straight into the door of light. Ding Hong followed closely behind.

After entering the gate of light, the scenery was still a wasteland. However, in front of them was not a city, but a tall platform. The stage was magnificent, with eight dark pillars surrounding it.

On the high platform was a circular building. After Xi Feng passed through the door, he summoned a pair of giant fire wings and flew over.

Ding Hong could only watch helplessly as she flew away, while he could only walk towards her step by step. At this moment, Ding Hong could already feel the circulation of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. His movements were much more comfortable than before.

Along the way, Ding Hong was not in the mood to look at the scenery and arrived on the stage. However, the moment he got up, he felt a wave of heat wave spread out in front of him, and he almost couldn't help but jump up. This was because after the heat wave came, he felt as if his skin and flesh were going to be roasted. He didn't care if the phoenix could see him or not. His right hand moved and drew out a picture of Yin and Yang.
