Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

In the days that followed, Wuxin patiently wandered around the fiery hell, waiting for the various ghost messengers to bring him one ambiguous message after another.

After his verification, he finally discovered that the suspects found by the ghost messengers were all monsters specially bred in hell.

Because they were born in hell, they also gained a clear consciousness, unlike those who were lost souls.

As for the so-called special areas found by those ghost messengers, they were just ordinary, harsh terrain environments.

However, the ghost messengers were too weak, and they regarded this place as a particularly dangerous and isolated area.

Before we knew it, half a month had passed.

After repeated disappointments, many of the ghost messengers lost their enthusiasm for helping to search and began to slack off. Only a small number of them were still trying to help.

Even though Wuxin knew, there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, his identity as a Specter is fake. If he were to use this as an excuse to punish these ghost messengers, it would inevitably attract the attention of other Specters.

At the same time, he couldn't be too concerned about the whereabouts of a 'pet,' since it was just a dispensable 'pet.'

"My lord, we've discovered another strange area. Your little pet might be inside!" A ghost messenger rushed over excitedly to report.

"Well done!"

Wu Xin nodded and casually gathered the aura of death and poured it into the other person's body.

As fewer and fewer ghost messengers were willing to help, he had to change the reward system: even if the ghost messengers found the wrong target, he would still give them a reward to motivate them to continue searching.

"What an intoxicating power!"

Feeling the power of death infusing his body, the ghost messenger cried out in pleasure.

They don't know how to use the power of the microcosm, and can only rely on instinct to absorb the aura of death in the air. With daily consumption, there is almost nothing left. Therefore, ghost messengers like them will never get any promotion in their entire lives.

But now, having received the reward of enlightenment, they are naturally superior to other ordinary ghost messengers.

Although they still can't compare to real Specters, they are already quite good among the ghost messengers.

"Lead the way for me!"

After giving the reward, Wuxin raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

"Yes!"

Coming to his senses, the ghost messenger nodded repeatedly and immediately led the way.

Before long, they arrived at the outside of a valley.

"This is it, sir!" the ghost messenger said, glancing into the valley.

"Is there anything suspicious about this valley?" Wu Xin asked curiously.

The valley wasn't very big, only about two hundred meters deep. He could see the bottom of the valley from the mouth of the valley, and it was completely unremarkable.

The ghost messenger said in a serious tone, "This valley may look ordinary on the surface, but it is actually very special!"

"This is even stranger than all the other suspicious places we found for the adults before combined!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Wu Xin became slightly more interested and secretly released his spiritual power to investigate.

However, he found nothing unusual; the valley was just as ordinary as it appeared on the surface.

The ghost messenger explained in a timely manner: "As you can see, sir, this valley is not very large. You can see to the end at a glance, so there is no need to deliberately investigate anything. Therefore, we have never conducted an in-depth investigation."

"But today, I accidentally walked into the place while chasing after a dead soul."

"I chased after the dead for who knows how long, but I could never reach the end."

"The entire valley seemed infinitely large!"

"Can't reach the end?" Wu Xin was taken aback.

This place is so strange, it's definitely much better than the other suspicious places that the ghost messengers found before.

"Not only that!"

The ghost messenger, with a serious expression, continued, "When I discovered the anomaly, I immediately abandoned any thought of continuing forward and wanted to turn back."

"But it was at this moment that I realized that going back was also a luxury."

"I could clearly see the valley entrance not far away, but I couldn't get close no matter what I did, even after I turned around. It was like an invisible abyss separating us, something I could see but couldn't reach."

"Interesting, interesting!" Wu Xin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

The more bizarre the place, the more likely it is to find the one hidden in this hellish place.

"If that's the case, how did you get out?" he asked curiously.

"This... I don't know either!"

The ghost messenger scratched his head and chuckled dryly, "Just like when I went in, I don't know how long I walked when I came back, and suddenly I walked out of there."

"Okay, I understand! You may leave now!"

After waving away the ghost messenger who was leading the way, Wu Xin focused his attention on the valley in front of him.

"Judging from his description, he must have been under the influence of some kind of illusion, but how come I haven't found a single clue?"

With a hint of curiosity, he once again released his mental perception to explore the valley before him.

Unfortunately, as before, he did not detect anything unusual.

"It seems the only way is to go in and try it myself!" He frowned slightly, then stepped inside.

Fortunately, as the ghost messenger said, there was no danger inside; otherwise, he would have had to rethink his plans before going in.

The instant Wu Xin stepped across the valley entrance, he vaguely felt as if he had passed through a thin membrane.

He stopped and turned to look behind him.

"There's definitely something wrong!" Wu Xin's expression turned serious.

He had only taken one step, but at this moment he was still a long distance away from the valley entrance.

Clearly, the anomaly here was beyond his comprehension.

However, the more this happened, the more hopeful he became.

Extraordinary things must have extraordinary origins.

His intuition told him that he had a high chance of finding the master craftsman here.

“Then, the next task is to break the illusion and truly enter the interior of the valley!” Wu Xin immediately focused his mind and continued to venture deeper into the valley.

He knew this wouldn't remove the illusion's effects, but it was a necessary prerequisite for breaking the illusion.

He needs to gather information about this place to deepen his understanding of it, even if that information is false.

Wu Xin didn't know how long he walked into the valley before he finally stopped.

He sat down cross-legged on the spot and slowly analyzed, "According to the information I've gathered, the illusion effect here is similar to a scrolling marquee."

"The starting point and the ending point are connected, and the cycle continues endlessly."

"So no matter how far I go, I will always end up back at the starting point."

"Or rather, any point here is a connection between the beginning and the end."

"Then, could I try severing the starting point and the ending point to break the illusion?"

Upon analyzing this point, he suddenly had a guess.

The separation of the beginning and the end means that the cycle will be broken, the illusion cannot continue, and it will naturally be broken.

Chapter 90 Illusion Blocks the Way

"Then how can I separate the connection between the starting point and the ending point?" Wuxin began to think anew.

"Is it to interfere directly with the power of the cosmos?"

Having formed a guess, he immediately opened his right hand, silently gathering his inner strength in his palm in preparation for trying it out.

Then, Wu Xin controlled the power of the microcosm in his right palm to expand and contract, creating wave after wave of spreading fluctuations.

Buzz!

As the fluctuations continue to spread, Wuxin releases his perception, carefully sensing all the changes around him.

But it was no use; the illusion was not broken.

"It's not that simple after all!" he said with a touch of self-deprecation.

An illusion that can be completely hidden from one's perception is enough to show how powerful the person who originally set it up was, and naturally, it cannot be easily cracked by oneself.

"Then, let's see if there are any unusual features in this illusion!"

Wu Xin withdrew his inner power, stood up from the ground, and slowly walked forward, carefully and patiently scanning every inch of the illusion.

Sometimes, a few key points are left in the illusion. As long as these key points are broken, the illusion will naturally be broken.

Of course, whether or not these points will remain, and how many will remain, depends on how powerful the person casting the illusion is.

Wu Xin carefully scanned everything he saw in the illusion.

After more than twenty cycles, he identified three suspicious key points.

Could it be them?

With a hint of doubt, he concentrated his inner power at his fingertips and pointed directly forward.

shhhhhh!

In an instant, his cosmic power split into three streams, which, under his control, shot towards the three suspicious points respectively.

Bang bang bang!

His cosmic power pierced through the three points like an arrow, but he did not sense any change in the surrounding illusion.

"It still doesn't work!"

Wu Xin was in a bad mood.

However, he found more than three suspicious points; he simply selected the three most likely ones.

Now that the three suspicious points he had chosen were invalid, he couldn't help but suspect that he might have misjudged the situation and overlooked the real key points.

"However, there is another possibility!"
