Chapter 132: The Life Within the Shattered Stones (Part 1)

  Under Jiang Xiaoyu's loud shout, everyone didn't react at all and continued moving forward in the direction of Ling Tian.

  With a sigh, how could this flute sound have such great magical power? Jiang Xiaoyu didn't react at all, but Huang Tian and Ling Tong felt the spiritual energy inside their bodies slightly tremble, affected to some extent, yet they weren't bewildered, their consciousness was extremely clear.

  A punch landed on a monk who was about to step into the spiritual field, and Jiang Xiaoyu flew backwards with a mouthful of blood. Afterwards, he got back up again and continued advancing towards the spiritual field. Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes widened in surprise - it seemed that the sound of the flute had already been imprinted on their minds and was connected to their brain waves; unless they found the person playing the flute, there was no way to wake them up!

  "Deep in the volcano!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu's expression changed, the person playing the flute must be deep within the volcano! There is indeed someone inside this volcano, and the dragon blood from before was probably also created by this person. Being able to play the flute and easily confuse everyone, this person's strength is certainly not low.

  Gritting her teeth, Jiang Xiaoyu once again entered the spiritual field and began a fierce battle with the refined spiritual medicine. Since it was impossible to awaken these people, she would destroy these spiritual medicines and store them in her waist pouch, thus eliminating the danger!

  Under the golden fist, the fierce beasts transformed from spiritual medicine retreated one after another! Grabbing a spiritual medicine, Jiang Xiaoyu threw it into his own system space, letting them struggle as they pleased. Outside, Hua Tian's eyes shone brightly, and after reminding Ling Dang to be careful, he also entered the Spiritual Field.

  The ten clouds and fog unfolded, starting to sweep the spiritual medicine! The spiritual energy shield was broken, this is now the best opportunity to get these spiritual medicines! With these spiritual medicines, his promotion speed will be very fast! Two people harvested in the spiritual field, their speeds were almost indistinguishable, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't care about anything, all kinds of spiritual medicines were collected into his own space.

  The outer spiritual medicine was quickly swept away, and those cultivators had already entered the spiritual field! There were no more spiritual medicines, so they naturally didn't have any danger. Jiang Xiaoyu saw this and his speed increased unconsciously, he was invincible all the way, and he pushed these spiritual medicines horizontally!

  It took about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and the spiritual medicine in the spiritual field had been picked by them for seven or eight minutes. There was no danger at all. Jiang Xiaoyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. This group of people was really troublesome! To be honest, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't want to get involved in other people's troubles, after all, they had nothing to do with each other.

  However, if they didn't save him, it would be somewhat unjustifiable. At least his conscience hadn't been completely destroyed. The moment the Lingtian was destroyed, the flute sound stopped abruptly, and then everyone suddenly came back to their senses!

  "How did I end up here?"

  "Elixir... where did all those elixirs go? No, wait, I think I heard a flute sound before, and then..."

  The moment they woke up, everyone looked around and suddenly made a noise, not knowing what had happened for a while. It wasn't until their minds were completely clear that they finally remembered that they had been bewildered by the sound of the flute.

  Take a look at Jiang Xiaoyu in the distance and Huan Tian who is panting, then take another look at their current location, they suddenly realized what had happened. Good people! If it weren't for these two people desperately picking spiritual herbs ahead of them, I'm afraid they would have become supplements to the spiritual herbs long ago?

  Everyone's heart was deeply moved, and one of them touched their belly, feeling a severe cramp, muttering to themselves, "Strange, why is my whole body uncomfortable?"

  He is the one who was punched by Jiang Xiaoyu before.

  Everything returned to normal, but Jiang Xiaoyu's face did not relax, instead it was very solemn. The owner of the flute sound obviously wanted to use the spiritual medicine in the spiritual field to destroy everyone! Moreover, considering that he could control the dragon blood and spiritual medicine before, it is likely that this person has some connection with the Undying Bird! Otherwise, how could he manipulate everything in the nest?

  Could it be that the phoenix's descendants still exist? Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu secretly shook his head. In these times, even if there were descendants, could they have survived until now? However, this wasn't entirely impossible, just that the possibility was relatively low, so low that it could be completely ignored.

  After being moved, what followed was anger! Unbeknownst to them, they were on the verge of losing their own lives. How could these people not be angry? Thinking of this, everyone looked around, wanting to find that flute player.

  "Could it be the doing of a rogue cultivator from outside our domain?" The crowd wondered suspiciously.

  "Foreign Master?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyebrow arched up.

  He then inquired and found out that after the genius from outside the domain killed everyone, Jiang Xiaoyu nodded his head in admiration. It was just as he had guessed earlier, there were indeed people from outside the domain who had mixed in. However, their own geniuses were not to be underestimated either, although their top-notch combat strength might not be comparable to those from outside the domain, but at this level, many of them were actually residing here!

  However, regarding the flute sound, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't think it was made by an outsider cultivator. Firstly, the flute sound was absolutely not in the main hall. He faintly felt that the source of the flute sound should be deep within the volcano!

  If they were foreign cultivators, how could they possibly enter the volcano faster than their peers? The crowd quickly associated with this point, and then frowned even deeper. If not a foreign cultivator, who would it be? The unknown is often the most dangerous.

  "Is it that the phoenix has not died?"

  The phoenix is too powerful, it may have some life-saving means, and now it's just recuperating in its nest!

  "Why think so much, continuing deeper will eventually meet!"

  "Not bad, this statement makes sense!"

  So the crowd continued to venture deeper, intending to investigate thoroughly. Walking up to now, they got some divine weapons, law instruments, and elixirs, the harvest is not bad, but the most important Undying Sacred Law has no news at all so far.

  Jiang Xiaoyu led the way, with Haotian and Lingdang closely following behind him, as they once again stepped into the passageway. As before, the walls of the passageway were adorned with patterns. However, these patterns were quite strange - they were the twelve animals of the zodiac!

  Mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig! Exactly twelve, neither more nor less. Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was slightly surprised, after all, in this world, there is no existence of zodiac signs.

  And these twelve animals, just correspond to the twelve zodiac signs on Earth. What do these twelve zodiac signs mean? Why are there exactly twelve of them? Did the phoenix not die and go to Earth? Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu's heart suddenly became unsettled.

  Even if it hasn't been there, maybe there's some connection in this! Each animal has a different posture, the mouse is lying on the ground with a sleepy look, the old cow is eating fresh green grass, the tiger...

  "What are these things? They're just ordinary animals, there's nothing strange about them at all!"

  Everyone was puzzled and couldn't understand why the non-death bird's nest hole would have such a pattern. Compared to the patterns of the previous two channels, these seemed too ordinary, and many people didn't understand the non-death bird's idea.

  This passage is very long, longer than the previous two passages. After walking for about an hour, everyone finally reached the end of the passage. This was a dark place, surrounded by darkness, with only some stones emitting a faint blue glow.

  "Glowing stone!"

  Some monks often venture out and encounter various situations, so they all carry such stones that emit light. Many glowing stones keep shining, illuminating this dark land.

  It was only then that the crowd saw the true appearance of this place. The hall was extremely large, but also very simple. The surrounding space was vast and seemed to stretch on forever! Apart from that, there were walls! Besides the passageway they came out of, there seemed to be nine other openings.

  In the center of this hall, there is a pile of blue gravel, and nothing else.

  Everyone couldn't help but curiously glance over and examine it. They had never seen such gravel before. When they picked it up, it quickly turned into a pile of powder in their hands.

  "This was originally a complete stone, look at this crack, it has only just split!"

  Everyone was shocked and uncertain, looking at the situation as if something had been born inside, but now it's gone, leaving only residual debris. Jiang Xiaoyu raised his head and looked up, seeing a hole above him.

  This is the center of the volcano, which should also be the source of the volcanic eruption. However, why is there no flame or lava? Moreover, what's even stranger is that although there is light above, it cannot be refracted here.

  Jiang Xiaoyu was perplexed and looked around, indeed there was nothing unusual. There's nothing here! And those nine holes, what do they mean? Does it mean that the road ahead has many paths, but only one is correct?

  Intuition told Jiang Xiaoyu that things were probably not so simple. Since entering this place, he had been feeling a sense of oppression, and couldn't quite put his finger on why, as if being stared at by something, making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over.

  At this moment, nine blood lights emerged from the nine holes, followed by nine drops of blood floating in mid-air and hovering above everyone's heads.

  "What a powerful essence! The refined substance contained within is truly too overwhelming!"

  The crowd involuntarily exclaimed and subconsciously retreated several steps, these vital blood being too powerful for them, the distance between them was so close that they could feel a very strong pressure!

  Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, if his senses were correct, these should all be dragon blood...

  Only nine drops of dragon blood floated in the air, without any unusual signs. After a while, another drop of dragon blood drifted out from the path they had taken before and merged with the other nine drops.

  Ten drops of dragon blood floated in the air, emitting waves of pressure, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, everyone heard footsteps from nine cave entrances, and judging by the sound alone, there should be many people!

  Everyone's expression suddenly became tense, all on guard, no one knew what kind of danger would emerge here!

  After a short while, many people came out from different cave entrances.

  The first person to emerge from each cave entrance is an extremely powerful existence, some holding iron rods, others empty-handed, and a few emerging in pairs.

  When they came out and saw each other, they were all stunned.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes widened in shock, and her heart couldn't help but be shocked: "Damn it, no way?!"
