Do not die

For a straight-line distance of more than 100,000 miles, the error between the "deductive world" and the real world is about ten miles, even when passing through the Realm of Death.

Is this error small or large?

In the "Interpretation World", at this moment, I should be standing on a barren hill on the edge of the southern border of the Spirit Controlling Domain.

But when he "opened his eyes" to observe again, he found that he was standing at the foot of the barren hill.

There is about ten miles difference between the two.

"Whether the error is large or small, this at least shows that there are still some differences between the 'deductive world' I constructed with massive amounts of information and the objective real world."

However, just based on the results of this verification, Meng Zhou was still very happy.

The "realm of death" that exists in the five ring realms, the oppressive feeling in his heart suddenly became much smaller.

Of course, it is impossible for Meng Zhou to really underestimate this "realm of death" because of this.

Not to mention anything else, the method that could solidify the reality corresponding to the Realm of Death into a monolith was enough to amaze him.

Meng Zhou stood there and thought for a while.

I have already conducted on-the-spot inspections of the death realms of the Huanqingxuan Realm, the Alchemy Realm, the Golden Cauldron Realm, and the Spirit Controlling Realm.

He was basically certain that the situation in Hehuan Domain, located on the east side of the Five Domains, was similar.

Outside the eastern border of the Acacia Domain, there must also be a Death Domain surrounding it.

So, is it necessary to continue?

Soon, Meng Zhou waved his hand to replace the lightless spaceship.

After entering the spacecraft, the spacecraft disappeared into the void using the lightless escape method.

The speeding spaceship drew a long straight line in the void, spanning a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles, heading straight east from the eastern border of the Hehuan Territory, and Meng Zhou saw everything he was familiar with again.

The solid, undulating land can never go out of the 15,000-mile space cycle. Of course, what Meng Zhou cares about most is that the reality is still condensed like a piece of iron.

With this last piece of information pieced together, the shape of the Realm of Death in the "Deduction World" seems to have become complete.

It's like a huge invisible lid that covers the five realms.

Meng Zhou's mood was not very good, but it was not too heavy either.

Because before this action, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Judging from the result, Meng Zhou actually felt relieved.

"It's okay, at least it's much better than the worst-case scenario I guessed."

After exploring the situation in the Realm of Death outside the eastern border of the Hehuan Realm, Meng Zhou embarked on his return journey.

The lightless spaceship hidden in the void was speeding through the sky. Meng Zhou stood on the deck and focused a little on controlling the spacecraft, but more of his thoughts were immersed in the discovery of the "Realm of Death".

All kinds of thoughts were surging in Meng Zhou's heart. Many thoughts that had surfaced in the past and were suppressed by him were also rising up like sediment, stirring in his heart.

In the end, these thoughts turned into several huge questions in Meng Zhou's mind.

…

"So, where are the Xingxiu Palace and the Xingxiu Sea?"

"If it's not within the Five Realms, it can only be outside the Five Realms."

“What is the situation outside the Five Realms?

Apart from Xingxiu Sea and Xingxiu Palace, what is the situation? "

…

"What exactly is the Realm of Death?"

"Why does it exist?"

The reason why Meng Zhou had such doubts was because such a large-scale project as the Realm of Death was too incompatible with the five realms whose upper limit was only third-order spiritual veins and third-order evil veins.

It really feels like killing a chicken with a knife.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, he made the mistake of "the emperor's golden pole".

From his own point of view, he thinks this is a "bad knife". Maybe in the eyes of the beings who use such methods, this is just a casual matter.

It's like Sun Monkey using a golden hoop to draw a circle on the ground. But for the demons and ghosts outside the circle, this is an "absolute rule" that cannot be broken no matter what.

…

"Is this realm of death absolutely impossible to break through?"

"Probably not, not to mention that before Xingxiu Palace closed the mountain, disciples from Xingxiu Palace often appeared.

Even recently, isn’t there a living example like Yanzhuang?

In addition to Yanzhuang, there are also spies like the Qiao family who are arranged by Xingxiu Palace in the Five Realms, and can summon the phantom souls of Xingxiu Palace monks. "

"...So, to travel through this realm of death, you may need some special secret commands or permissions?"

"Or maybe there is a one-way passage that only the Xingxiu Palace monks outside can enter and exit freely, but for the Five Realm monks inside, it is an iron wall?"

“This… doesn’t seem right either.

If Xingxiu Palace really has such authority, how can the Five Realms pose any threat to them?

It’s totally a matter of getting what you want!

The Xingxiu Palace in Yan Zhuang's memory was not so impressive. "

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou thought of more.

The ancestor of Nascent Soul of Xingxiu Palace passed away. Where did the news spread from?

Obviously, it was impossible for Yanzhuang and other Xingxiu Palace disciples to take the initiative to break the news.

After they learned the news, it was too late to cover it up. How could they take the initiative to tell it?

This information comes from the mouth of forces hostile to Xingxiu Palace, which is more logical.

There is a realm of death!

Doesn't this in turn mean that there are other forces that can ignore the barrier of the Realm of Death?

Even if you can't physically come in and out, you can still let information come in and out freely.

The ancestor of Yuanying in Xingxiu Palace died, and the disciples of Yanzhuang who were away on mission were immediately recalled and then closed the mountain to defend themselves. The five regions were allowed to be fought over by "thieves" from all walks of life, and they even established sects and ignored them.

All this shows that Xingxiu Palace is guarding against one or even multiple enemies.

Moreover, this enemy has the ability to fatally strike Yanzhuang and others within the five domains.

And this enemy can never be monks like the Five Elders of Qingxuan and the Fourth Patriarch of Hehuan - to put it hurtfully, they are not worthy of the attention of Xingxiu Palace.

Meng Zhou once placed the "Statue of Lihen" in his seat.

Meng Zhou thought of those hidden altars again.

"So, does the Lihen Cult also have the ability to ignore the barrier of the Realm of Death?"

"Apart from the Lihen Cult, are there any other beings in the Five Realms who have the ability to ignore the barrier of the Realm of Death?"

"..."

…

All kinds of complicated and even contradictory information were intertwined, ups and downs, and surged in Meng Zhou's mind.

In the end, Meng Zhou himself felt a little exhausted.

He simply postponed in-depth thinking in this regard. After all, this kind of empty-to-air thinking is all speculation without any solid evidence.

No matter how much you think about it, there will be no real answer.

"I don't know how they are doing now."

Meng Zhou suddenly thought of the ancestors of the five sects who were currently searching for the hidden altar in the four areas of Dan Wen, Jin Ding, Yu Ling, and He Huan due to his "reminder."

"Should I help them?"

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly moved, and some thoughts emerged in his mind uncontrollably.

"Are the five domains and five sects really all casual cultivators at the top?"

"How much do they know about the situation in the Realm of Death?"

"Why do I set my sights on the Lihen Cult?"

“There is a saying that ‘whoever is the beneficiary is the murderer’.

In the era of the Later Xingxiu Palace, wouldn’t it be that the five domains and five sects benefited the most? "

"..."

As these thoughts emerged uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, Meng Zhou couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine and hairs in his heart.

Meng Zhou couldn't help but reflect, "Am I thinking too much?"

At this moment, Meng Zhou suddenly felt a continuous tremor in his waist.

This sudden movement suddenly woke Meng Zhou out of his deep contemplation.

A pendant hanging on Meng Zhou's waist suddenly started to swim, and soon fell into Meng Zhou's palm, coiling into a small ball of thin rope.

"Yaya, what's wrong?" Meng Zhou asked.

Although it was a question, Meng Zhou's mind had already quietly raised it.

Based on his understanding of Yaya, Yaya would not remind him in this way unless necessary.

"Uncle, down there, right below where we just passed, there is delicious food!"

Yaya's excited and somewhat incoherent answer sounded directly in Meng Zhou's heart.

Meng Zhou felt a thrill in his heart, and the fast-moving spaceship came to a sudden stop.

Then, like time flowing backwards, the spacecraft quickly moved backwards.

"right here."

Not long after, under Yaya's prompting, the spacecraft stopped over an area.

Meng Zhou looked down. Just below the spacecraft, there was an active volcano located in the ice and snow mountains.

From the crater that opened to the sky, Meng Zhou could clearly see the surging red magma.

In the surge of magma, there is earth fire spitting out from the red magma carrying the heavy power of earth fire.

Tens of meters above the red magma, a layer of flowing red clouds formed.

But such a volcano exists in a continuous mountain of ice and snow.

This is somewhat of a spectacle.

However, because such craters are not uncommon in this "gap between domains", and in this area where the rules of heaven and earth seem to be unstable, such volcanoes are obviously a huge source of danger.

No one will take the initiative to move forward, and they will stay away from it if they see it. No one will go deep into the interior of such a volcano.

If not for Yaya's reminder, Meng Zhou would not have had such an idea.

Now, Meng Zhou has it.

Moreover, I have the determination to never give up until I find something.

It did not take Meng Zhou too much time to find the anomalies hidden inside this active volcano.

Of course nothing can be seen with the naked eye.

Even if I use my spiritual sense to explore, I still can't find anything.

The red clouds floating above the red magma are as strong as the actual evil force of earth fire.

This is the natural nemesis of soul detection methods.

Not to mention, there is red magma below that is even more difficult to break through.

However, these are all in vain in front of the transparent moon mirror.

As the transparent moon mirror focused his vision on the crater, Meng Zhou soon made an astonishing discovery.

It's really amazing.

The discovery that burst into view was so shocking that Meng Zhou, who was caught off guard, could not control himself and spit out the fragrance.

"grass!"

Deep in the red magma, to be precise, about a hundred meters from the surface of the magma, there is an altar.

Yes, an altar.

An altar sunk deep in the magma, flooded by hot magma in all directions.

When Meng Zhou saw this dark altar submerged by hot magma through the bright moon mirror, he felt a cold feeling.

It's really strange.

However, this is not the reason why Meng Zhou spits out fragrance.

The reason why he lost his mind in an instant and had a lotus-tongued tongue was the triangle at the base of the altar.

This is also the most special place of this altar.

Overall, the altar looks like a standard regular tetrahedron.

The equilateral triangle forms a stable base, and together with the vertices supported by the triangular base, they form a standard regular tetrahedron structure.

The first time he saw this altar, Meng Zhou had a feeling in his heart.

"Such a structure must be super stable."

"No wonder it's at home in this environment."

What caught Meng Zhou's attention the most were the sculptures at the four corners of the altar, which was also the real reason why Meng Zhou blurted out "fuck you".

The sculptures with the triangular base are group sculptures, with a group of sculpture groups carved separately.

One corner seems to be a collection of all kinds of extreme human emotions.

Joy, anger, sadness, joy, sadness, fear, surprise, despair, jealousy, greed, obsession...

Every human emotion seems to be found in this small and exquisite group of sculptures.

Among them, "hate" is also included.

Those twisted facial features express hatred accurately and vividly.

The moment he saw it, Meng Zhou connected it with the "hatred aspect" in the statue of Lihen.

Not only similar in appearance, but also similar in spirit.

This is not a reference, it is basically the same origin.

The three statues of the God of Lihen, in addition to the expression of hatred, also have the expression of pleasure after the great hatred is expressed, which can also be found in this group of sculptures.

This is just one of the triangular base sculptures.

If this pedestal sculpture group is a "collection of human emotions," then the other pedestal sculpture group next to it is a "collection of human skills" or "a collection of people's professions."

In this group of sculptures, someone is bowing his head and tending to the plants;

Someone is forging something with a hammer;

Someone is using ropes to weave a snare necessary for fishing and hunting;

Someone is cooking;

Someone is stretching out his fingers, lowering his head and thinking, as if he is calculating something;

Some people sit cross-legged and look up, wondering whether they are looking at the changes in clouds and rain in the sky, the sun, moon and stars, or... something else?

Looking at this group of sculptures, Meng Zhou seemed to see the most original and authentic aspects of existing and lost professions in a daze.

The last group of sculptures on the triangular base is what Meng Zhou calls "a collection of human entertainment" or "a collection of human art".

In this group of sculptures, someone is graffiti and painting on the rock wall;

Some people wear masks and seem to be dancing, devoutly and joyfully, immersed in it;

Someone seemed to be singing loudly, the sound shook the trees and stopped the moving clouds;

Someone is holding a carving knife and is lowering his head to give emotion and life to the stubborn stone in his hand;

…

When Meng Zhou saw the three groups of sculptures on the triangular base through the bright moon mirror, it was difficult for him not to relate to some serious thoughts in his heart.

There is also a sculpture at the top of the altar, which is guarded by a triangular base.

A sculpture.

Sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, without sadness or joy, he seems to be integrated with the world, but also seems to be transcended from the world.

After looking at the three groups of sculptures in the Triangle Tower, and then seeing this sculpture, a word naturally emerged in Meng Zhou's mind.

"The road is different."

"Different paths lead to the same destination."

In addition, Meng Zhou once again saw traces of the Lihen Sect.

Meng Zhou could see at a glance that this statue was related to the third one of the three poems of the Lihen statue, "The Appearance of Enlightenment" besides "The Appearance of Hatred" and "The Appearance of Pleasure".

Same source.

A conjecture naturally emerged in Meng Zhou's mind: "So, the source of the Lihen Sect actually comes from this?"

"The founder of the Lihen Cult is actually a master tailor?" (End of Chapter)
