175: Chapter 175 Three Ins and Three Outs!

Three days later.

A white pillar of light, piercing through the heavens and earth, shot up from the Tian Family's garrison, penetrating the thick dark clouds above the Immortal Burial Battlefield.

This pillar of light was incredibly dazzling, so much so that all the Cultivators from the Sects and Families guarding the front line could clearly see this pillar connecting heaven and earth just by looking up.

"What is that?!"

"Such dazzling light! It's rising from the Tian Family's stronghold!"

"A rare treasure has appeared?! Or is a Senior casting a Spell?!"

...All the Cultivators on the front line were shocked by this sudden phenomenon, discussing it animatedly.

Many Cultivators had already rushed towards the Tian Family's stronghold, wanting to investigate.

A moment later, the pillar of light slowly retracted until it disappeared.

And Su Mo, the instigator of this phenomenon, was calming the somewhat restless energy within his body.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

With a thought, his upper body actually transformed into pure light.

Solid light outlined a perfect form, but it no longer possessed the texture of flesh and blood.

Su Mo reached out and pinched his arm.

The feeling from where his fingers touched was not the soft elasticity of flesh and blood, but a warm, hard, special tactile sensation, as if touching a piece of warm jade.

"What a peculiar feeling..."

Su Mo murmured to himself.

He had now crossed from Soul Transformation Perfection into the Void Refining Stage, but half of his body had already stepped into the Body Integration Stage.

"Can the comprehension of a Law to a certain extent affect the body? Or is my situation unique...?"

Countless conjectures flashed through Su Mo's mind.

The singularity of light particles and the inclusiveness of Spiritual Qi particles seemed to be different.

His Physique had always been immersed in the effects of light particles, and it was possible that it had been transformed into some special Physique.

Su Mo stepped out of the cultivation chamber, the dazzling light emanating from his upper body rapidly receding, restoring him to his original normal appearance.

As soon as he walked out, Tian Qiong and the others, who had been waiting outside, immediately greeted him.

"worthy son-in-law, you broke through a major Realm without any Lightning Tribulation descending... This is simply unheard of..."

Tian Qiong marveled, completely puzzled.

Su Mo smiled slightly at his words.

"Perhaps it's due to my special Physique."

He also wanted the Heavenly Dao to send some Lightning Tribulation to temper his Physique.

However, he was completely an unemployed wanderer, and the Heavenly Dao didn't even bother with him.

Tian Qiong's brows immediately relaxed.

Having been shocked by Su Mo time and again, his threshold had been raised considerably; even if Su Mo were to Ascend to Immortality on the spot, he seemed to be able to grudgingly accept it.

"worthy son-in-law is indeed beyond ordinary people."

Tian Qiong sighed, giving up on pursuing the matter.

"During these days I was in seclusion, were there any unusual movements?"

Su Mo asked.

"No, not at all. The number of Blood Beasts these past few days wasn't as high as last time, and their strength has returned to its usual level."

Tian Qiong's face showed a confident smile:

"However, even if it happens again, there's no need to worry."

"Almost all the Families and Sects guarding the front line have sent additional personnel. Now, the number of resident Body Integration Stage Cultivators on this front line has more than doubled, which can be described as impregnable!"

His tone carried confidence; the increase in strength indeed brought a greater sense of security.

Su Mo nodded:

"Since that's the case, I shall depart."

Tian Qiong nodded heavily:

"worthy son-in-law, be careful!"

Su Mo scanned everyone, his gaze finally meeting Crimson Prison's.

Crimson Prison nodded slightly, indicating he was ready.

The next moment, his figure swayed, and he transformed into his true form, his massive body enveloping the surroundings, his crimson pupils looking down from above, surveying all beings.

"Roar—!"

A low Dragon roar echoed, not high-pitched, but containing supreme Dragon might, causing all Cultivators' Divine Souls to tremble.

Although Tian Qiong and the others were not seeing it for the first time, witnessing this scene again still left them incredibly shocked.

Crimson Prison lowered his massive Dragon head, and Su Mo's figure flashed, landing steadily on the Dragon's head.

"Let's go."

Hearing this, Crimson Prison responded with a roar, then moved his Dragon claws, speeding towards the depths of the Immortal Burial Battlefield at an astonishing pace... After an unknown amount of time traveling through this gloomy and oppressive environment, a thick, bloody mist had begun to permeate the surroundings, greatly suppressing even Divine Sense.

Ordinary Cultivators here would probably not even be able to discern directions.

Su Mo patted the Dragon's head beneath him, signaling it to stop.

He took out the tattered map Tian Qiong had given him from his storage ring, glanced at it, then closed his eyes, sensing the direction from which the summoning fluctuation was coming.

Then he compared it with the map.

"Forbidden Ground... forbidden to open eyes... forbidden to use Divine Sense to probe..."

Su Mo pondered while looking at the map.

From his current location, he needed to cross a Forbidden Ground to reach the direction from which the summoning came.

This Forbidden Ground was: Nameless Secluded Valley.

A line of crimson text was written on it:

Forbidden to open eyes, forbidden to use Divine Sense. Do not trust anything!!

A hint of solemnity flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

This meant that entering it would cause Cultivators to lose their most relied-upon sensory abilities, becoming truly blind.

"If I can't see and can't use Divine Sense, then how can I determine if I've left the Forbidden Ground's range...?"

After a moment of contemplation, Su Mo's face showed no fear, but rather remained very calm.

"It says I can't see, but it didn't say I can't use other methods."

Su Mo had Crimson Prison transform into human form; otherwise, with such a large body, he might accidentally touch some unknown taboo.

One man and one Dragon headed towards the Forbidden Ground.

After about a quarter of an hour, the bloody mist in the air gradually thinned.

The sight that greeted his eyes made his gaze sharpen.

They were standing at a narrow valley entrance, facing an extremely long, deep, narrow path. The rock walls on both sides of the path were smooth as mirrors, as if they had been cleaved by some great power with a single sword.

However, the end of the path was enveloped in a thick gray mist, making it impossible to see the exit.

Before entering, Su Mo tried to sense with his Divine Sense from outside, but as soon as his Divine Sense touched the path's entrance, it could no longer advance.

As for the two sides of the Nameless Secluded Valley, Su Mo merely glanced at them before retracting his gaze.

They were two boundless, blood-colored pools of water that were completely unfathomable, with no end in sight.

Seemingly calm without a single ripple, yet they gave a feeling that made one's Divine Soul tremble.

"It seems there's no way around it..."

Su Mo said in a deep voice:

"Follow me."

He checked his own condition, then no longer hesitated.

Closing his eyes, he took a step forward.

Su Mo felt his body break through an invisible membrane, and then there were no other sensations, only extreme silence.

He couldn't even hear Crimson Prison's breathing or heartbeat behind him.

"Crimson Prison."

Su Mo called out, but received no answer.

However, through the subtle connection of the heavenly dao oath, Su Mo could sense that Crimson Prison was right behind him.

Seeing this, a flash of realization crossed Su Mo's mind.

This secluded valley was like a vacuum environment, unable to transmit sound, and with his eyes unable to see, two of his five senses were blocked.

But the connection based on the Divine Soul was impossible to sever.
