Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Chapter 45.1

That purple air column seems to be very close, but it is actually very far away. Although Feng Shao had already seen it from a distance, it still took most of the day to fly there.

When you look at it from a very far distance, it doesn’t look like much.

But after getting close, Feng Shao finally saw the majesty of the purple air column.

The air column was several miles in diameter, like a giant pillar of the sky, so vast and extensive that the top could not be seen at a glance.

Feng Shao even guessed in his heart whether the other end of the air column had reached the upper world.

But after dissipating the faint blue light in his pupils, the sky and the earth are still calm and breezy, and one can’t feel the slightest strangeness at all.

Feng Shao stepped down from his sword and returned to the ground after a while. Although he can see the air column, he cannot directly enter the Sansheng Pagoda from the sky by going through the air column. To enter Sansheng Pagoda, the only way is through the ground.

Where Feng Shao landed, he could only see misty clouds, and a few pillars about half a meter thick could be vaguely seen. Beyond that, there’s not much to see.

Feng Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and then stepped forward.

Not long after, Feng Shao walked up to the first pillar. He didn’t continue to move forward, but looked around first, and checked his surroundings. Soon, he saw three nearby pillars.

One is in the Gan position, one is in the Dui position, and one is in the Xun position. As for the pillars further away, he couldn’t see them.

(TN: Positions on the 8 diagrams. Gan is South, Dui is South-East, Xun is South-West)

Feng Shao carefully recalled the path mentioned in the “Heaven And Earth Sutra,” and walked towards the Xun pillar.

After walking tens of meters away, Feng Shao reached the Xun pillar. At this time, there were six pillars around him, and their positions were more complicated.

“The first step is to the position of Xun, the second step is Weiji, the third step… the fourth step…”

Feng Shao muttered in his mouth, whenever he reached a pillar, he immediately turned to the next step according to the instructions of the “Heaven And Earth Sutra.”

This process must not be sloppy at all, as long as you take a wrong step, you will be completely lost in it.

Unless you are lucky enough to find the correct route again, you will be stuck here for the rest of your life.

However, in the midst of it, the surrounding fog is vast, and what you can see is only tens of meters, and the distance between each pillar happens to be this length.

In other words, Feng Shao can only see the pillars of the previous step and the next step at most.

If he accidentally makes a mistake, even if he can find the correct pillar by turning it sideways, who can be sure that his orientation and direction are correct?

And this is also the fundamental reason why all those who entered by mistake can never come out again.

Through the “Heaven And Earth Sutra,” Feng Shao learned that there are a total of 108 directional pillars around the Sansheng Pagoda and thirty-six of them need to be passed through to enter.

One can’t make a single mistake while stepping through these thirty-six pillars, otherwise they will fall into a maze.

Here, the perception of orientation is useless, and the space seems to have been distorted by some special force.

When you think you’re moving forward, there’s a good chance you’re actually going backward.

Only by walking on the correct route and walking in a specific way can one enter the Sansheng Pagoda.

Along the way, Feng Shao could see bones lying on the ground from time to time. Most of these bones are human, and occasionally there are bones of wild animals. These white bones are those who just strayed into the maze and couldn’t get out, and finally died of exhaustion.

But that’s only a small part of it. More bones are still lying quietly in other places in the maze, and may never see the light of day again.

Whenever he came across a bone lying on the road, Feng Shao would squat down and search carefully.

Most of the people who can come here are quite capable cultivators, otherwise, there is no way to find the location of the Sansheng Pagoda.

Although they were unlucky and failed to find the right path, their strength was real.

It was actually a chance for Feng Shao to meet them.

Only a fool will turn a blind eye to the opportunity when it is in front of him.

So along the way, Feng Shao looted the storage bags or storage rings left by countless seniors and experts, and he made a lot of money.

Feng Shao even felt that even if he couldn’t rebuild his qualifications, he wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of his life just relying on these magical items and spirit treasures he picked up.

But while searching, Feng Shao couldn’t help feeling sad for these people. Many of them, who should have had a brighter and more magnificent future, entered the Sansheng Pagoda, made a mistake, and died without a sound.

But wealth and opportunity are accompanied by danger, they came here to seek those opportunities, and it was their own choice that led them to die here so they have no one to blame.

Before he knew it, Feng Shao had reached the thirty-third step. However, in front of the thirty-third pillar, he saw two bones falling to the ground hand in hand. Beside them, there are two long swords, one gold and one silver.

Looking at the long sword, Feng Shao couldn’t help but widen his eyes, which were full of astonishment.

Could it be that these two swords are the legendary long-lost Golden Crow Sword and Silver Snow Sword?

A few thousand years ago, there was a family in the domain who was good at forging weapons.

The family name is Ling, and the place where they live is called “Lingxiao Villa.”

Lingxiao Villa is especially good at forging swords.

Among them, there are eight most famous divine swords, collectively called “Lingxiao Eight Swords”.

The eight swords of Lingxiao are—the Golden Crow Sword, Silver Snow Sword, Biluo Sword, Yellow Spring Sword, Ziming Sword, Qingyang Sword, Baihong Sword, and Chixia Sword.

These eight swords are divided into upper four swords and lower four swords.

Now all the lower four swords are still there, but of the upper four swords, there are only the Biluo Sword and Yellow Spring Sword left.

The Biluo Sword is in the hands of Xiao Ruoyao, the Xiaoyao fairy, while the Yellow Spring Sword is in the hands of Lin Fengtian, the master of the Yunjian Pavilion.

As for the Golden Crow Sword and the Silver Snow Sword, they have long since disappeared.
