Chapter 406: Head Upwards?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He had solved the current problem, even though everyone was dissatisfied, due to the deterrence of the golden-armored commander and the generous reward promised by Prince Mu Fusheng, no one said that they wanted to go back.

The effect was quite good.

However, even though the internal troubles had been resolved, there was still no end to the stairs.

Looking up, he could only see a small circle of light.

Looking down, it was still endless darkness!

At this moment, Mu Fusheng could not help but think.

Is there an end to this?

Would he be able to reach the bottom?

They had been walking for more than ten days.

However, he still could not see any hope.

This situation was really strange.

Ye Qiubai had the same thought.

Could this staircase have some kind of array formation or something?

They would never be able to reach the end of it.

Nonetheless, Ye Qiubai had the Sword Heart Profundity. At the same time, his Sword Dao realm had already reached the Sword Saint realm!

Sword cultivators were much more powerful compared to other Cultivation practitioners.

They also had the ability to see through illusions.

However, Ye Qiubai couldn’t sense if he was surrounded by an array formation illusion.

Or could it be… Ye Qiubai couldn’t see through the environment in the Demonic Abyss even with his strength?

No, this did not make sense.

Ye Qiubai shook his head.

If it was a test, under this environment, then it was impossible to set the difficulty point on realm strength.

However, to not discover the array foundation of the illusion just meant that he had not seen through it!

The more he thought about it, the deeper he felt.

Ye Qiubai could discover more and more strange things.

“Did you guys notice? Logically speaking, the halo above your head should shrink the further you go down until it disappears!”

“There’s a limit to how far the light can reach.”

“However, after walking for so long, the circle of light at the exit of the huge pit above our heads is still the same size. This doesn’t make sense.”

Mu Fusheng nodded. “I noticed that too, but 1 didn’t find any traces of arrays or illusions around us.”

Ye Qiubai nodded.

“As long as we find a strange spot, we can at least take fewer detours and not have to continue forward.”

“We must be in some kind of array illusion now.”

“It’s just that 1 haven’t discovered it yet.”

Shi Sheng asked, “Should we stop now?”

Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Fusheng and said, “1 think we should stop. What we have to do now is conserve our strength and discover the abnormality around us.”

Hearing this, Mu Fusheng walked over to Mu Qingqing.

He told Mu Qingqing about their guesses and suspicions.

When Mu Qingqing heard this, she looked up at the small circle of light that was still the same size.

Her expression became solemn.

With that, she waved her hand and said, “Stop!”

Everyone was a little puzzled, but they still stopped.

Mu Qingqing was the commander here after all.

Then, Mu Qingqing gathered all the Soul Divergence Realm experts and told them about this matter.

After hearing this guess, everyone, including the golden-armored commander, released their auras and carefully investigated their surroundings.

Unfortunately, in this abyss filled with black demonic aura, their perception and spiritual qi were restricted.

On the other side, Ye Qiubai activated his sword domain!

Sword Intent whistled in the surroundings!

Shi Sheng also used the power of the stars to sense the abnormality around him.

Mu Fusheng casually held the Ninefold Lightning Shield to prevent himself from being ambushed by the demonic creatures.

This problem…

Where exactly did it come from?

In such a place where spiritual qi was restricted, Ye Qiubai’s Sword Intent and Shi Sheng’s star power clearly had the advantage.

However, after searching the surroundings carefully, he still did not find anything!

If it was an illusion…

If it was an array, how could there not be any traces?

Why, exactly?

Ye Qiubai kept thinking about the problem.

He started from the beginning, recalling the scene when he first stepped onto the stairs.

There was something unusual about this but he still had no clue after thinking about it!

Shi Sheng was also thinking.

The power of the stars not only had the ability to suppress, but it also had the ability to sense.

He used the power of the stars to constantly observe his surroundings.

It could be said that it was even wider and more detailed than Ye Qiubai’s sword domain!

However, he still could not discover anything!

At this moment, a sentence appeared in Shi Sheng’s mind.

This sentence appeared in the Chaotic Star Record.

The light of the stars looked very weak and tiny.

However, if one observed carefully, or even closer, the light of the stars would be incomparably dazzling!

It looked weak and small?

Shi Sheng looked up.

The tiny but unchanged circle of light.

Then, he thought of this sentence.

At the same time, he looked at the environment that was filled with black demonic qi.

He had a guess in his heart.

“Shall we go up?”

Hmm?

Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, and Mu Qingqing all looked at Shi Sheng!

Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng’s expressions were serious.

He knew that Shi Sheng might have discovered something.

However, the others frowned.

What did it mean to head up?

Deserters!

The golden-armored commander also looked at Mu Fusheng in confusion.

He knew that Shi Sheng was Mu Fusheng’s senior brother.

But why would he say such a thing now?

Mu Qingqing also walked over. She naturally knew how extraordinary her brother and his senior brothers were.

He was not a cowardly person!

Otherwise, why didn’t he escape when he was resisting the evil clans outside the territory and facing the evil generals who were so much stronger than him?

“What did you find?”

Shi Sheng shook his head and said, “I don’t know. This is just my guess. I still need to verify it.”

Shi Sheng’s words made everyone who was already extremely dissatisfied explode!

“What a joke! Won’t all our previous efforts be in vain if we head in the opposite direction now?”

“What’s more, what did you do when they said they were going back up?!”

“If we don’t find anything and return to the starting point, then we’ll have to go down again?”

At this moment, Mu Fusheng said sternly, “Let’s give it a try. There’s no better way.”

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Mu Qingqing also looked over.

Mu Fusheng continued, “Even if we brace ourselves and continue down, I’m afraid we will continue to climb these stairs. Our spiritual qi will eventually be exhausted.”

“There’s no better way.”

Mu Qingqing smiled bitterly and nodded.

“There’s really no better way.”

“In that case, let’s go up.”

Everyone looked at each other.

The prince and princess, the two most powerful people here, had already said so.

How could they refuse?

Everyone could only walk up even though they were suspicious and dissatisfied.

As Shi Sheng walked, he stared at the halo above his head.

He didn’t know if it was right or wrong.

However, if that was the case, then this was the only way to break through the illusion!
