Chapter 66: The Weirdness Descends on the World

Chapter 66: Weirdness Descending into the World

At that time, the first batch of people to enter the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace Ruins consisted of hundreds of cultivators.

Most of them were at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

They thought that it was just an ordinary relic, but they didn’t realize that the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace was full of weirdness. This batch of cultivators were caught off guard and were killed or injured.

In the end, less than one tenth of them came out alive.

And among them, there was a person named Sikong Yi.

This person only has a late stage of Qi refining cultivation, and looks ordinary.

The crowd thought that he had just survived by a fluke.

No one expected that it was this unassuming Sikong Yi who, after returning to Ten Thousand Immortal Islands, turned in the Cloud Water Talisman and completed the bounty quest that was as high as 100,000 contribution points.

After receiving his reward, Sikong Yi left the Cong Yunhai through the Ultra Long Distance Teleportation Formation and disappeared from the sight of everyone.

Since then, Sikong Yi had never appeared again.

“Searching, bizarre, clan relic related information.” Li Fan slowly recalled what he had seen in his last life, while saying to the Tianxuan Mirror.

In a blink of an eye, hundreds of pieces of information popped up.

Only the vast majority of them could only see the initial few sentences, and to get the complete information, one had to pay a certain amount of contribution.

Li Fan was not stingy, and immediately spent 100 contribution points to purchase the most popular Sect Ruins Survival Guide.

The author of this guide was named Qi Yuanzhou, who was also a casual cultivator.

He had been exploring and mingling in various ruins for many years and had been cultivating until he reached the Jindan realm before joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

To be able to retreat from the crisis-ridden ruins of the sects, Qi Yuanzhou naturally has its own strengths.

The “Sect Ruins Survival Guide” summarized by him was also highly regarded by many cultivators, and was regarded as a guideline.

The Cloud Water Heavenly Palace relics are treacherous and dangerous, although Li Fan has foresight, he does not dare to take it lightly.

At that moment, he studied it carefully.

In the ancient times, countless sects were destroyed, leaving only the remnants of the walls remaining in the world.

Some of these ruins had already been explored countless times by Immortal Cultivators over the years, and the inside was clean, leaving nothing of value behind.

Some of them have not yet been explored because the ruins are too dangerous and huge. Nowadays, there are still many cultivators who venture into them every year, either for the sake of the techniques or to seek breakthrough opportunities.

Then, there were those sects that had always been hidden by caves and formations, hidden from the world. These types of sects were completely unexplored virgin lands, and could be said to be filled with opportunities. Once they were revealed, they would definitely attract the surrounding cultivators to flock to them.

The various experiences in the Guide to Surviving Sect Ruins were aimed at the latter two types.

The guide mentioned that in today’s Immortal Cultivation World, all the clans that were valuable and worth exploring could be further divided into two main categories.

One type is the ones with no bizarre existence.

The other is those with a bizarre presence.

If there is no weirdness present, then as long as one is careful to beware of formation organs, there is generally no particularly great danger.

But if there is weirdness, can be cautious and cautious.

The so-called weird, is to refer to the existence of the relics of all kinds of strange phenomena can not be measured by common sense.

Weirdness seems to not belong to this world, often have their own unique rules.

The rules of weirdness also had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Within the Immortal Cultivation World, it was agreed upon to grade the strength of the bizarre rules.

According to the highest cultivator realm it could affect, it was also accordingly categorized into Qi Refining level weirdness, Foundation Establishment level weirdness, Jindan level weirdness, and so on.

Cultivators who were within the coverage of the weirdness, if their cultivation level was lower than the strength of its rules, then they had to follow the rules of the weirdness.

Once violated, it was inevitable to escape death.

If one’s cultivation level was higher than the strength of the weird rules, one might be able to remain unaffected by the weirdness and be spared from death.

But no matter how high your cultivation level is, you cannot change the weirdness.

Even a strong person at the Harmonization Stage couldn’t change the bizarre rules at the Refinement Level.

It was even more impossible to save a cultivator who violated the weird rules from the weirdness. Once a living being entered within the bizarre range, it would be triggered.

Only after a certain number of deaths, or if the rules of the weirdness were broken, could the cultivator who entered it be able to leave.

An example was given in the guide.

One hundred and fifty years ago, an unnamed island in the western part of the Cong Yun Sea near the mainland suddenly appeared as a cave.

Since its appearance there had been a haze of light released from it, illuminating the sky for hundreds of miles around.

Many cultivators were attracted by the precious light and entered to explore it.

After some exploration, the cultivators found that this cave was built by Hong Zhi, a YuanYing casual cultivator in the ancient times, before his death.

Inside the cave, there are more than ten techniques and countless treasures.

Under the great joy of these cultivators, have begun to snatch up.

Just then, something horrible happened.

All those cultivators who were smiling because they had grabbed a technique or a magic treasure all had their heads fly up inexplicably.

The smiles on their faces were completely frozen.

In just an instant, a large portion of the cultivators present died.

And the remaining cultivators were terrified, thinking that there was some kind of prohibition on those gongfu treasures.

At that moment, they let go of the treasures that were all over the ground and didn’t dare to move them, and fled out of the cave.

After the news spread, since there are unbelieving cultivators came to try.

After they took the treasures for a long time and didn’t trigger any prohibitions, they had the same smile of either disdain or delight.

Immediately afterward, they were separated from their heads, and their heads fell all over the place.

Only one cultivator who was born with facial paralysis was spared.

But also by this horrifying scene scared out of his wits, just grabbed a piece of magic treasure and fled as if he had slipped away.

The news of the destruction of another group of people shocked all the red-eyed cultivators in the neighborhood.

The face-palmed cultivator who had managed to escape and get the cave treasures naturally attracted everyone’s attention.

But no matter how hard they pressed, the paralyzed cultivator said that he didn’t know how he survived.

Later on, there was an intelligent man who thought for a long time and then revealed the mystery.

Laughter is forbidden in this cave.

No matter what the reason, once you show a smile, your head will fall to the ground.

Although this matter sounded absurd, all the cultivators believed it after the intelligent man walked into the cave with a calm and peaceful face and took out a technique.

So they all did as they were told and took out all the treasures in the cave.

……

What happened in Shangren Hongzhi’s cave was the most typical yet simplest weirdness, containing only one rule.

In reality, the weirdness in those sect relics often had multiple rules compounded.

The weirdness was naturally incomparably vicious. Without being clear about its rules, one would die if they were not careful.

However, after grasping the rules of the weirdness, the risk of the weirdness was again almost zero.

Qi Yuanzhou summarized dozens of experiences based on his own personal experience of surviving several shenanigans.

First: always stay calm.

Under the creepy shroud, anything unbelievable can happen.

Second: Do not act rashly.

Without understanding the rules of weirdness, the faster you move, the faster you die.
