A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

As they continued on their journey, the moment everyone actually saw the flowing water before their eyes, the entire implication was fully realized.

The fat man's desires differed from the others; he craved gold and silver treasures, so he didn't enter the illusion deeply.

However, when he picked up the stone that he believed to be a treasure of gold and silver, his desire was fulfilled.

At this moment, everyone's mental defenses reached their lowest point, and they were all pulled into the illusion.

So, in reality, when everyone actually sees flowing water or what they desire, that's when everyone is pulled into the illusion.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it a completely false illusion. This illusion is a mixture of reality and fiction. Some people or objects in this illusion are real, but others are fake.

Bai Jing was somewhat worried about Hu Bayi and the others.

At this moment, the group had clearly entered the stone gate.

Bai Jing believed that Hu Bayi and his group did not go in without waiting for him.

However, there should be another person named 'Bai Jing' in their team at this moment.

Bai Jing didn't dare to delay and quickly crossed the river, entering the passage behind the stone gate.

When Bai Jing caught up, he saw Hu Bayi and the others standing at the end of the passage, all staring down in disbelief.

Shirley Yang threw a cold light stick down to the ground, and Bai Jing walked to the side and looked down, only to see that the ground below was littered with corpses.

Various human bones and animal skeletons can be seen everywhere.

This scene gave Bai Jing a slightly creepy feeling.

But then, Hu Bayi asked, "Miss Yang, Lao Bai, you've seen all this gold and silver treasure, haven't you?"

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, Shirley Yang replied, "I saw it. Didn't you see it?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi quickly replied, "Of course I saw it too, but I just feel like it's not quite real."

Well, isn't that just unrealistic?

Chapter 174 Bottomless Ghost Cave

However, the bone fragments at the bottom were seen as gold and silver treasures by Hu Bayi and his men.

Immediately, the crowd began to lower the rope ladder and descend to the 'gold and silver treasures' below.

Bai Jing stood on top, watching the crowd below become mesmerized by the illusion.

The fat man, in particular, was striking a pose with one finger bone. Seeing that the fat man was cooperating so well, Bai Jing immediately took out his camera and secretly snapped a picture, intending to use it to annoy the fat man later.

Then the fat man was about to put the finger bone into his pocket when someone in the illusion must have discovered it, and the stones he had picked up earlier also fell out.

Among them, the people below were interacting, and Bai Jing even heard Hu Bayi and the others calling his name.

This made Bai Jing feel a chill run down his spine.

This illusion is really amazing.

Things that are real and things that are not real are presented simultaneously in the mind of the person who is in the illusion.

This makes it impossible for these people to distinguish between illusion and reality.

The mixture of truth and falsehood made Hu Bayi and his companions increasingly lost in the illusion.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Bayi and his group continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Bai Jing quickly followed.

Before long, Bai Jing discovered that a deep pit, seemingly of unknown depth, had appeared before them.

Bai Jing knew that this was it.

In reality, strictly speaking, there is indeed no bottom to this.

According to Bai Jing, the Serpent God was actually an ancient god who existed in the chaotic period of the universe before the creation of the world. After the creation of the world, he descended to Earth and eventually came to Mount Zaglama.

However, after He fell into the sacred mountain of Zagrama, His physical body was already dead.

Although the Serpent God's physical body was dead, and even rotted away to the point of being nothing but a skeleton, His brain still retained the power of "Transformation of Realms".

Above its snake head is a giant eye that grants its soul immortality. At the end of time and the end of the world, it will be reborn from its bones like a phoenix. Therefore, the snake god's eye is also called the phoenix gall.

After the serpent god's physical body died, in order to protect its remains so that they could be reborn at the end of time and space, it used the power of its brain's "realm transformation" to create a seemingly bottomless ghost cave, an imaginary space relative to the real world, to bury its remains.

In other words, this is actually the burial place of the serpent god.

Bai Jing knew that the Zaglama tribe, who came to Zaglama Mountain later, wanted to explore it. Their high priest discovered through divination that there was a giant jade eye in the east (which was actually the phoenix gall that had been lost in the Central Plains and was thought to be the Muchen Pearl), which could reveal the truth about the Ghost Cave. So he had people make a replica of the jade eye and held a sacrifice in order to peek into the Ghost Cave.

As a result, although their imitation jade eye also possessed a certain divine power, it was not the Muchen Pearl after all. Although the jade eye forcibly opened the imaginary space within the ghost cave, disaster followed.

The instant the imaginary space and reality connected, these Zaglama people were also...

They were marked with red spots on their eyes, symbolizing sacrifices, and even their descendants could not escape it.

Moreover, once the gate to this imaginary space is opened, it is difficult to close again; only the Muchen Pearl has the ability to close the passage between the imaginary space and reality.

Therefore, these Zaglama people, afflicted by the curse, were forced to leave their homes and migrate eastward.

In order to break the curse, their descendants have been venturing deep into ancient tombs in the mountains for thousands of years to find the Jade Eye Dust-Repelling Pearl that can truly be used to worship the Ghost Cave. This led to the emergence of the Mountain-Moving Taoists, a sect that raids tombs.

They hoped to find the real Muchen Pearl to close the imaginary space above the Ghost Cave, thereby severing the connection between the imaginary space and reality, and ultimately lifting the curse.

But things didn't go as planned; they had no way of finding the Muchen Pearl, let alone closing the imaginary space.

As a result, the curse has persisted to this day and has not been lifted.

The area around the Ghost Cave is currently adjacent to the opened Imaginary Space. This means that any normal person who approaches the Imaginary Space will be attacked by the energy within it and thus be cursed with red spots.

Unfortunately, Bai Jing wanted to get close to the Ghost Cave and experience the power of the ancient god up close.

Therefore, Bai Jing was at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Hu Bayi and the others.

Upon seeing this, Professor Chen exclaimed excitedly, "This must be the legendary sacred site of the Jingjue culture!"

Hu Bayi was puzzled upon hearing this. He didn't know anything about the Ghost Cave, but since he didn't understand, he asked, "What is the Ghost Cave? What is Teacher Chen talking about?"

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's question, Professor Hao immediately replied, "Legend has it that the Jingjue Kingdom is mainly composed of the Ghost Cave Clan. The reason they are called the Ghost Cave Clan is because they guard a cave that is like a bottomless abyss. If I am not mistaken, this should be the cave in front of us."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing noticed that Hu Bayi and the others would occasionally talk to the air.

It seems that in the illusory realm, there is an illusory version of myself, along with illusory versions of Sadi Peng, Chu Jian, and Ye Yixin, talking to everyone.

Bai Jing watched everyone quietly without making a sound.

Immediately afterwards, Shirley Yang took out a flare and threw it into the center.

But Bai Jing knew that this was destined to be meaningless, because there was truly no bottom to it.

Upon seeing this scene, Professor Chen exclaimed, "I have been studying the Jingjue culture for half my life. Before, I just thought that the legends were just legends, but I never expected that I would see such a huge cave today."

Shirley Yang, however, seemed to have thought of something and said uncertainly, "There should be something else on here, Lao Hu, let me take a look."

Then Shirley Yang was seen with half of her body suspended above the Ghost Cave, looking up at the top of the Ghost Cave.

After seeing what was up there, Shirley Yang returned to the platform and said in a deep voice, "There's a stone platform up there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally asked Shirley Yang what she had seen.

As Shirley Yang explained, everyone realized that there was a stone platform extending out into the air above, and there seemed to be something on the platform, but it was too far away to see clearly.

Upon hearing Shirley Yang's words, the fat man immediately pointed to the side and said, "Who cares what's up there? Let's just go up from here."

It turns out that there is a winding path leading uphill on one side of the stone platform!

Chapter 175 Kunlun Divine Tree

The group then seemed to have agreed beforehand that Bai Jing would lead the way, with the others following closely behind, and they headed upwards.

Bai Jing had checked the road and found it to be real, and he didn't feel any danger, so he didn't stop the group from proceeding.

After everyone else had taken the path, Bai Jing followed closely behind.

From afar, Bai Jing suddenly noticed a huge log on the stone platform. Bai Jing knew that this was it.

But then Bai Jing saw a large purple taro standing guard next to it.

Bai Jing recognized it at a glance; it was the Corpse-Scented Devil's Tongue.

The Corpse-Scented Amorphophallus seemed to sense someone approaching, and its enormous bud slowly rose, as if it were about to bloom.

Bai Jing knew that the Corpse Fragrance Devil Fruit could pull people into an illusion. Although the Corpse Fragrance Devil Fruit had not yet fully bloomed, Bai Jing could already smell some of its scent.

Bai Jing didn't dare to delay, so he bypassed everyone and rushed towards the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower.

At that moment, everyone noticed that Bai Jing rushed out from behind.

For a moment, everyone's consciousness became confused.

Because right now, Bai Jing was leading the way for everyone, so why did he suddenly run to the back of everyone?

Because of this momentary confusion, everyone quickly realized that something was wrong, and then saw that Bai Jing had rushed onto the stone platform.

At the same time, Bai Jing, who rushed onto the stone platform, quickly drew Kangxi's treasured sword from behind.

The Corpse Fragrance Amorphophallus seemed to sense the danger and tried to bloom as soon as possible, attempting to pull Bai Jing into the illusion.

But Bai Jing was not afraid of the illusion at all. He quickly swung his Kangxi sword at the root of the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower.
