Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 528 Mural World
Song Xian felt as if he were surrounded by a cloud, his body warm and comfortable, while all around him was absolute darkness.

It seemed like only a moment, but the next instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the boundless darkness, enveloping him.

When his vision cleared, the sight before him left him dumbfounded.

He stood beneath a clear blue sky, his feet on lush green grass, and in the distance, swarms of butterflies fluttered about—a scene brimming with the vitality of spring.

Where the hell is this?
Song Xian stared in astonishment at his surroundings, his mind going completely blank.

what happened?
How did I suddenly end up here from that grand hall?

What about the rest?

Numerous questions flashed through his mind, twisting together like a pretzel.

Wait, this place seems familiar.

Song Xian looked up at the blue sky above, where white clouds drifted lazily, and at his feet, green grass grew vigorously.

His pupils suddenly contracted; wasn't this exactly the scene depicted in the mural inside the main hall?

Could it be that I have entered that mural world?

Could it be that the ghost we encountered before also came out of the mural?

If that's the case, then it explains why the ghost was hiding inside the main hall, yet none of them were able to detect it with their divine senses. It turns out it was hiding in the mural world.

However, figuring out the mystery of where the ghost was hiding has nothing to do with his current situation.

The key is figuring out how to leave this place, but he doesn't even know how he got in, so how can he leave?

Why am I the only one in this mural world? Where are the others?
Are they still inside the main hall, or have they also come to this mural world but been separated?
If everyone else is still outside the main hall, the situation is slightly better; they should be outside trying to break free from this mural world.

Putting aside others, at least Apoo shouldn't completely abandon him unless he himself is in danger and can't even protect himself.

But no matter what, he can't place all his hopes on others; he still has to keep the initiative in his own hands.

If the speculation is correct, the ghost came out of this mural world, which means there must be a way out.

Moreover, others may have also entered this world, but they are scattered in different places, and they must actively find a way to leave.

Song Xian's spiritual power surged into his eyes, but his True Eyes of Observation saw nothing unusual.

He recalled the contents of the mural and remembered that there was a building resembling a palace within it.

Now that I think about it carefully, the building in the mural does resemble the palace inside the mountain in appearance.

He was observing the murals in the palace when he was inexplicably sucked into the world of the murals.

Is there any connection between the palace in the mural and the palace in reality?
With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. He glanced around, and his escape light rose, heading towards the direction of the mural palace in his memory.

...............

Under the azure sky, leisurely white clouds drift by, and a gentle breeze stirs up a cloud of yellow sand.

Nice stood amidst the swirling yellow sand, his eyes slightly narrowed, his expression quite grim.

He patted the spirit beast pouch, and a rat-like spirit beast with red fur emerged from it. It sniffed the air and then darted into the yellow sand.

After a while, the red-haired rat spirit beast emerged from the yellow sand underground, squeaked a few times at Niss, and then burrowed into its storage bag.

With a blank expression, Nice rose into the air and headed southwest.

...............

The sky was an endless expanse of blue, with leisurely white clouds drifting by.

On the vast, blue lake, schools of fish leaped about, the water shimmering. In the distance, pristine snow-capped mountains rose, creating a beautiful, picturesque scene. But Afar, standing by the lake, looked so gloomy that he seemed about to burst into tears.

………………

At the same time, in the dark and deserted hall, a point on the stone wall mural suddenly emitted a faint red light, and then two figures shot out from within. They were none other than Abu and Ap.

At this moment, three figures appeared inside the stone wall mural, moving slowly. From an external perspective, they looked like three snails inching forward.

"Let them stay inside!" Abu glanced at the three figures in the mural, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

Apu gazed in the direction of Song Xian for a while, then turned and left the main hall.

The two traveled straight ahead in a flash of light, quickly passing the tomb-like circular structure and arriving at the end of the mountain's interior.

Abu fumbled along the stone wall for a while, then heard a creak as a stone door opened, revealing a narrow passage just wide enough for one person to pass through. The two exchanged a glance and filed into the inner room, passing through the cramped passage to a large circular hall.

Several tall stone pillars stood around, covered with dense black runes that resembled the runes on the restrictive stone pillars on the island.

In the center of the hall was a huge black disc, like a millstone, with many black runes engraved on it.

The two went straight to the huge black disc, and Abu flipped his hand and took out a black cylindrical stone.

Ap also took out a black cylindrical stone.

The two inserted their objects into the disc. With a soft snap, the black disc began to rotate slowly, and the runes engraved on it seemed to come alive, moving rhythmically like a colony of ants.

As the disc spun faster and faster, the light grew brighter and brighter, and slowly, characters began to emerge from it.

The two of them stared intently at the words, their eyes filled with excitement and fervor, and their breathing became rapid.

...............

Under the azure sky, before the majestic palace, a beam of light descended, revealing Song Xian's figure.

Gazing at the palace before him, his mind raced. Just as he had imagined, this palace, from its exterior, was almost identical to the grand hall that stood inside the mountain.

As expected, this palace should be connected to the outside world.

I wonder if the way to leave this world is here.

Since entering this world, he has discovered that this world is much larger than he imagined. He has traveled all the way, crossing many rivers and mountains. Conservatively speaking, this world is no smaller than Bianxi City, and may even be larger than he imagined.

Because he hadn't encountered anyone else along the way.

Of course, it's also possible that others haven't been involved in this world.

But if it's the latter, and everyone has already entered, then this world is much larger than he estimated.

His divine sense did not detect anything unusual. Song Xian pushed open the heavy palace door and saw a lifelike statue of a ten-zhang-tall ghost with a blue face and fangs. It stood in the center of the hall, with six pairs of wings growing from its back and six arms, each holding a weapon.

Apart from that, the main hall was completely empty, with nothing else inside.

Song Xian was immediately drawn to the ghost and stared at it intently.

Under his keen observation, the spatial fluctuations at the monster's left eye were extremely unusual.

Could that be the way to leave this place?

He flashed and appeared in front of the monster's left eye.

Upon close observation, one can see ripples spreading outward from the left and right pupils like waves, but the range is extremely small, only a few feet in radius.

If he didn't possess the Eye of Truth, an ordinary person would never have been able to discover it.

What was going on? Song Xian had never seen such a strange spatial structure before. It was as if someone had drawn a circle to imprison this part of the space, but due to the power of the space itself, it formed constantly reverberating spatial ripples.

He gently ran his palm through the ghost's left eye, and there was nothing unusual to the touch.

Perhaps because the range of the spatial anomalies was too small, there was almost no special sensation.

After a moment of contemplation, Song Xian clasped his hands together in prayer, his spiritual power surging within him, and unleashed the Heavenly Gate Divine Power.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, his spiritual power and divine sense surged, and his control over spiritual power became more precise.

He has now begun to grasp the basics of the divine power of the Gate of Revelation.

As he slowly opened his hands, the surrounding space rippled violently like boiling water.

The already abnormal spatial structure at the ghost's left eye was affected, and it immediately surged like a giant beast.

It was as if a giant beast that had been sealed away for a long time was finally about to escape its cage.

As spiritual energy continuously flowed into Song Xian's body, a deep passage appeared, extending from the ghost's left eye all the way to the unseen end of darkness.

This was not caused by the divine power of the Gate of Revelation, but rather by the fact that this closed, abnormal space was opened due to changes in the surrounding spatial structure.

Song Xian used the spatial structure alteration caused by the Heavenly Gate's supernatural power to attack this abnormal spatial node, thus breaking the seal on the imprisoned space.

Only then did this deep spatial passage appear.
