In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Lu Xueqi and Biyao both looked at him, noticing the unusual tone in his voice.

"Senior Brother Su, have you discovered anything?"

Lu Xueqi asked.

Su Han hesitated for a moment before deciding to reveal some information, but conceal the key to the Netherworld Token.

"When I was adjusting my breathing just now, I felt a vague sense of unease."

The arrangement of these stone formations, along with the carvings, seems to constitute an extremely ancient and powerful array.

Based on the monsters in the deep pit, I suspect that the entire Liubo Mountain Ruins may be a huge seal suppressing monsters.

The Stone Forest where we are located may be a crucial point in this seal.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer, lest we trigger something..."

He didn't say anything more, but Lu Xueqi and Biyao both understood what he meant.

If that's the case, their staying here is tantamount to sitting on a volcano.

"However, the direction indicated by the stardial seems to be even deeper."

Biyao took out the bronze sundial, and saw that the starlight pointer on it was pointing tremblingly towards the core of the stone forest.

The three of them looked at each other.

The path ahead may lead to the core of the seal, where it is even more dangerous.

However, their retreat route has been blocked by demonic energy, and the guidance of the stardial is their only clue at present.

"We can only move forward."

Su Han took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Be careful, and evacuate immediately if anything seems amiss."

Lu Xueqi also agreed.

Biyao put away the array plates and flags, and the three of them formed a simple formation again, carefully heading towards the depths of the stone forest in the direction indicated by the stardial.

The further you walk into the center of the Stone Forest, the taller and more intact the stone pillars become.

The carvings on it are also relatively clearer.

Besides the stars and cloud patterns, some ritualistic scenes began to appear: countless blurry little figures knelt on the ground, facing a tall, radiant being in the center.

However, that image is always deliberately blurred or damaged, making it impossible to see its specific appearance.

Another recurring pattern is a winding river with a strange flower blooming along its banks, its petals long and alluring.

Su Han's heart stirred. The pattern of the river and flowers was somewhat similar to the Yellow Springs Road and the other shore flowers on the banks of the River of Oblivion that his divine sense had sensed in the Netherworld Token!

Could these carvings really be related to the underworld?

He remained calm and suppressed his surprise and doubt.

Finally, after walking for about half an hour, they passed through the dense forest of stone pillars.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

In the center of the Stone Forest, there is not the altar or palace as expected, but a huge, smooth, mirror-like circular platform.

The platform is made of a jet-black stone with a surface so shiny it reflects the dim sky and the surrounding stone pillars, giving it an eerie and unreal feel.

In the center of the platform stands a stone tablet.

The stone tablet is not tall, and its pure white color contrasts sharply with the pitch-black platform.

The stone tablet was completely blank, without any words or patterns.

However, in front of the stone tablet, on the ground of the platform, there was an extremely complex array.

The patterns of the formation were deeply embedded in the stone platform, and dark red traces remained in the ravines, like dried blood.

In the center of the formation, there is a groove, the shape of which is almost exactly the same as the Netherworld Token in Su Han's hand!
The starlight pointer on the gnomon was pointing straight at the wordless stone tablet!
The three of them stopped at the edge of the platform, not daring to step in rashly.

This place is too eerie. A smooth platform, a blank stone tablet, a formation resembling a blood sacrifice, and that groove that perfectly matches the Netherworld Token…

Everything exuded an indescribable sense of eeriness and destiny.

"Is this... the destination indicated by the stardial?"

Biyao's voice was a little dry, and she subconsciously moved closer to Su Han.

Lu Xueqi held Tianya in her hand, her sword aura concealed, her cold eyes fixed on the wordless stele in the center of the platform, as if sensing something.

Su Han's heart raced.

He was almost certain that the wordless stele was the core of Liubo Mountain's secret!

The key to unlocking this core is the Netherworld Token in his hand!
Do you want to use it?

What will happen after using it?
Will it be the acquisition of an amazing inherited treasure, or... the unleashing of a terrifying being that has been suppressed?
The scene of the demon kneeling in worship reappeared before my eyes.

The demon held the Netherworld Decree in awe.

Perhaps this isn't liberation, but rather a form of... control? Or communication?
Huge risks are intertwined with potential opportunities.

Su Han was caught in an unprecedented struggle.

Lu Xueqi and Biyao also sensed Su Han's unusual silence and solemnity.

Their gazes also fell on him, as if they had vaguely guessed something.

The peculiar token in Su Han's hand may be the key to unlocking the mystery of this place.

Silence enveloped the platform.

Only the howling wind blowing through the stone forest sounded like the whispers of countless departed souls.

Finally, Su Han slowly raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Now that we've come this far, there's no point in backing down.

Some secrets must be uncovered personally.

He took a step forward and stepped onto the smooth, mirror-like, pitch-black platform.

Footsteps landed on the platform, making a crisp sound that echoed in the deathly silent space.

Lu Xueqi and Biyao exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes, but they did not try to stop him. Instead, they followed closely behind, one on each side, vigilantly protecting Su Han as they stepped onto the platform.

The three of them walked step by step toward the center of the platform.

The closer you get, the more you can feel an invisible pressure.

The pressure did not come from spiritual power, but from a sense of awe and trepidation stemming from the depths of the soul in the face of the ancient and the unknown.

Finally, they arrived at the edge of the formation and stood before the wordless stone tablet.

Upon closer inspection, the stone tablet appears even more pristine and flawless, as if carved from the finest spiritual jade, yet it exhibits no spiritual energy fluctuations, only an ancient and desolate grandeur.

Su Han looked down at the groove on the ground that was exactly the same shape as the Netherworld Token.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Then, under the tense gazes of Lu Xueqi and Biyao, he took out the ancient Netherworld Token.

The token trembled slightly in his hand, emitting a faint, eerie light, creating a mysterious resonance with the array on the ground and the stone tablet in the center.

Without further hesitation, Su Han bent down, carefully aimed the Netherworld Token in his hand at the groove, and pressed it down.

"Click."

With a soft click, it fit perfectly.

The Netherworld Token was perfectly embedded in the groove.

In an instant——

A sudden change occurred! (End of Chapter)
