Everyone was usually quite resilient. Otherwise, they would not have cultivated to such a high level of spiritual power. Hearing Yun Chujiu’s words, they could not help but feel a little ashamed.
They had lived for so long in vain. They could not even compare to a teenage girl.
Everyone calmed down and began to discuss how to escape the tomb.
Yun Chujiu used her spiritual sense to contact Little Black Bird. Then, she asked Little Black Bird to ask the remnant souls, “Uncle Zhu Hao, why did this ancient sword tomb suddenly collapse?”
“That, we don’t know. We originally thought that there was something strange about this world. According to the calculation of time, it should still be around another hundred years before it appears,” Zhu Hao said in a muffled voice.
“Then you guys didn’t find anything strange before?”
“We didn’t! Everything was the same as usual, and then it suddenly appeared.”
“Then you’ve been here for tens of thousands of years. Have you found the position of the array core?”
“No, none of us are proficient in array formations. We spent most of our time in a deep sleep to prevent our souls from dissipating.”
Yun Chujiu frowned. After asking for a long time, she didn’t find any useful information. It seemed that she could only rely on herself.
At this moment, everyone was having an intense discussion. “Why don’t we attack it together? I don’t believe that we won’t be able to break through a gap.”
“Just give up! If the ancient great array was so easy to break, the spirit weapons here would not still be here. They would have been taken away long ago.”
“It would be great if we could find the core of the array! Elder Qu of the Spirit Radiance Sect, Elder Zhong of the Skyblade Sect, Elder Yuan of the Heavenly Gates Sect… Are you able to find the core of the array?”
Elder Qu and the others looked at each other with ashamed expressions on their faces. How could an ancient array core be so easy to find?!
Everyone discussed for a long time but still could not come to a conclusion. In the end, they could only let Elder Qu and the others who knew more about array formations try to find the array core first.
Three days later, Elder Qu and the others were so worried that they could not find anything. Although everyone had a lot of food in their storage rings and it would not be a problem for them to last for a year or so, the cracks in the ground were getting larger, in some places, a deep pit with a diameter of several hundred feet had appeared. It was pitch-black and a potential deathtrap.
One of the cultivators’ spiritual pets was the Eupatorium Poison Bee. He gritted his teeth and took one out and sent it into the deep pit. Although the Eupatorium Poison Bee couldn’t fly here, it was small in size, and it might not die from falling from a high place. At that time, the depth of the hole could be known through exploring it.
However, in a short while, his spiritual sense connection with the Eupatorium Poison Bee was cut off. This meant that either the Eupatorium Poison Bee was dead or the spiritual sense was blocked. Either way, if a cultivator fell into the pit, he would probably die.
Yun Chujiu walked to the side of the cultivator and said, “Senior, I have some long sticky silk here. You can tie one end to the body of the Eupatorium Poison Bee and hold the other end in your hand. This way, you can more accurately judge the situation inside.”
Yun Chujiu took out a ball of sticky silk. It was the sticky silk of the Venomous Giant Man-Faced Spider she encountered some time ago. She didn’t know how Furry did it, but it wasn’t poisonous anymore.
The cultivator took the sticky silk and summoned another poisonous bee. After tying one end of the sticky silk on its body, he began to let the sticky silk down the pit.
In the beginning, the cultivator and the poisonous bee still had a spiritual sense connection. When it was suddenly cut off, the cultivator quickly pulled the sticky silk back up..
