Following the sound of the pot, Li Chuan felt his consciousness expanding, gradually extending to infinity, becoming thinner and thinner, and then quietly and silently covering the pattern.

At this moment, he felt that countless information was pouring into his consciousness like a tide. Complex dots and lines were intertwined in his field of vision, revealing a certain pattern. They kept gathering and dispersing in his consciousness, changing their formations, and presenting their original and most fundamental forms.

It would be nice if I could keep watching like this.

A thought flashed through Li Chuan's mind. He was stunned. When he stared at the empty pattern again, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart. At that moment, he seemed to be pulled out of an indescribable state. His ears were very quiet, and everything around him was familiar and distant.

At this moment, the gentle and soft sound of the pot lingers in the ears, and the ripples rise and fall, completely incorporating the pattern.

What should he do now?
He continued to sink into the void.

So does everyone else.

"I want to destroy that pattern." said Li Chuan.

"Let's try it." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan nodded, and then his entire consciousness sank into the sound of the pot.

surge.

Everything in the void became blurred and blended, and the pattern quickly dissolved in it. When the connection between the last dot and the horizontal line was broken, he did not stop the sound of the pot immediately, but stretched out his hand, stirred the chaos, and then drew the first character seal he had learned from Ming Heng's notes.

After finishing the last stroke, he felt a tingling sensation that quickly spread from his fingertips to his entire body. Then he saw many long vines climbing up the seal from the void, constantly devouring the seal.

What is this?
It didn't dissipate in the surge?

Just as he was about to try again, countless red sword lights flew towards the vines at the same time, cutting off all the vines at the same time, forming a cracked pattern.

"Follow me." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan felt like he was being lifted up again.

As he was shaking, he felt the light around him was getting dimmer and dimmer. He blinked hard to come out of the state, and then saw Wen Guying carrying him and walking up along a vine. The vine was twisting, as if trying to throw them off. The branches and leaves on the vine were also dancing, trying to stop them.

Li Chuan looked back and saw Yao Shuang following behind with Master Wukong in his arms, and her speed was only faster than Wen Guying's.

Li Chuan didn't dare to disturb Wen Guying, so he began to observe the appearance of the vines. The shape and pattern of the vines were very similar to those in the spire of the nunnery, but they seemed to have a kind of spirituality, unlike the vines in the spire, which were stupid and easy to hide.

Moreover, it seemed to be able to resist the surge, or at least resist part of the surge. It might also be because of the stone platform.

While Li Chuan was thinking, Wen Guying had already reached the highest point by stepping on the vines. He paused for a moment, and then jumped towards a certain place in the void.

Li Chuan felt that they were trapped in darkness. After standing firm, he asked, "Where is this?"

Wen Guying said: "Qinling Secret Realm, we are in."

At this time, Li Chuan heard some sounds. He looked in the direction where the sounds came from and vaguely saw two figures, who seemed to be Yao Shuang and Wu Kong.

"The formation outside is being repaired, let's go in quickly." Yao Shuang's voice reached Li Chuan's ears.

It was indeed them, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you walk?" Wen Guying asked him.

Li Chuan moved his body and felt that except for the headache and eye pain, everything was fine. He said, "I can walk. Master Wukong, how are you?" "I'm fine. Taoist Master Yao has been protecting me." Wukong replied.

"Let's go," Wen Guying said and led them forward.

After walking for a while in the dark, Li Chuan felt some changes in his surroundings. He felt a slight tremor and a sense of dampness coming from the soles of his feet. He said, "This corridor here seems a bit like the secret passage in a nunnery."

"Indeed." Wen Guying said.

"Are they related in any way?" Li Chuan asked.

"Didn't you feel that there was a piece missing from the spire?" Wen Guying asked.

"Yes, there is a piece missing, and maybe a chamber is missing. I have tried to put it together many times." Li Chuan looked around and asked, "Could it be here?"

"That should be correct." Wen Guying confirmed Li Chuan's guess. He said, "Eight thousand years ago, the secret realm of Huai'an Mountain was born, causing the spire to begin to float up. When the secret realm collapsed, part of the spire may have collapsed along with it and drifted here together."

Yao Shuang took over and said, "In the past eight thousand years, this part of the spire has been continuously integrated with part of the Huai'an Mountain Secret Realm, and the current Qinling Secret Realm has been formed."

Wen Guying then speculated: "So, the Stone Dragon Association will place a stone platform here."

"Why?" Li Chuan asked.

"Let me think about it again." Wen Guying said, and then he began to ponder as he walked. After a moment, he confirmed with Li Chuan: "The demon spirit said that all the remaining demons are in the spire?"

"Yes, that's what she said." Li Chuan said.

“Then maybe, the demon masters that Senior Yanyun mentioned, they may have been sleeping in the spire, waiting for the day when the opportunity comes.” Wen Guying said, “It may be Senior Yanyun who woke them up, and then tricked them in the end.”

At this time they walked out of the corridor and entered an irregularly shaped room. The walls of the room were very smooth, like the skin of some animal.

It trembled slightly, and with the trembling, it expanded and contracted.

Li Chuan looked up and saw a bunch of bumps on it. He said, "Could it be that the demon spirit was also deceived by the old turtle?"

Hearing this, Wen Guying stopped, turned around, looked at Li Chuan, and said, "It's hard to say."

"The monk Zhiyue he was talking about might be the old monk I met." Wukong said.

"So he wants to find what he wants through you." Wen Guying said, "I feel that they placed the stone platform here not to create a new entrance, but for other reasons."

"The spire." Yao Shuang said, "Senior Yanyun may have learned about the existence of the spire from Shadow. He and the Stone Dragon King placed the stone platform here. They may want to find other parts of the spire through the stone platform."

"Can you find it?" Li Chuan asked.

Yao Shuang replied: "The demon clan's ruins are all connected. They should have found the nunnery, and then dug out the secret passage with the help of Prince Su. Because the defense of the spire cannot be broken by magic, but it can be eliminated by human flesh and soul."

Li Chuan thought of something and said, "The original abbot of the nunnery might also be a descendant of the remnants of the demon clan."

"It's possible." Wen Guying said, "In fact... the demons have already completely integrated into this world."
