Chapter 1179 - 1054: The Demonic Shadow in the Ancient Well
"How did you go out before?"Duan Gujin asked.
"Our True Body cannot go out, but we can control the corpses of some dead Clan Members and send them out!"
The Wushan Clan Chief said.
"So amazing?"
Duan Gujin's curiosity rose in his heart; he felt that the Secret Realm they were in now was absolutely not an ordinary Secret Realm.
"Take us to see those Clan Member corpses of yours, and also the ancient well you used to go out."
Senior Xuan said.
"Alright!"
The Wushan Clan Chief quickly nodded in agreement.
Previously on the road, the Wushan Clan Chief had told them about the matters inside the Secret Realm, saying he entered the outside world through an ancient well.
Soon, the Wushan Clan Chief led the three of them to an ancient well.
To Duan Gujin and the others' shock, they saw thousands of coffins beside the ancient well.
The Wushan Clan Chief had previously told them that they preserved the corpses of their deceased Clan Members with a special liquid to keep them intact.
Those Clan Members trapped in the Secret Realm cannot go out; once their Body enters the ancient well, it would be completely corroded by the water inside, leaving not even bones.
But if their Divine Soul entered the corpses of those deceased Clan Members, they would be fine, and they could enter the outside world through the ancient well.
Once they walked out of the ancient well, they would arrive inside the Nine Phase World.
The Wushan Clan Chief's predecessors had tried multiple times and concluded that while they could leave the Secret Realm, they had no way out of the Nine Phase World.
When the Wushan Clan Chief showed them the map of the Nine Phase World explored by their predecessors, Duan Gujin and the others discovered that the Wushan Clan Chief could not approach the tower or leave the Nine Phase World, whereas they were not restricted in this way.
"Look!"
To verify his statement, Senior Xuan showed the Engraving they found on the lighthouse stone wall to the Wushan Clan Chief.
The Wushan Clan Chief quickly realized that the map they gave him was almost identical to the map explored by their previous Clan Leaders, and he suspiciously asked, "Can you enter these areas?"
"Yes, this map is what we found on one of the towers! We can enter places you cannot, so there must be a reason for this: on you, there is surely a force preventing you from leaving, and this same force stops you from entering these towers!"
Senior Xuan said.
"Yes, yes!"
The Wushan Clan Chief furrowed his brows, his eyes flickered, and his mind raced.
"Then this body of yours is probably not your True Body, is it?"
Shi Potian suddenly asked.
"This body is not my True Body; it is the corpse of a Clan Member who died of illness! Let me take you to see my True Body!"
The Wushan Clan Chief said, thinking that it might be uncomfortable for the Martial Artist before him to see his current body as a corpse.
He immediately led Duan Gujin and the others to a nearby simple house.
As they approached the house, the Wushan Clan Chief at the front suddenly fell to the ground.
Senior Xuan waved his right hand, and the fallen body of the Wushan Clan Chief stood upright on the ground.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, this is my True Body!"
Then, a figure emerged from the house.
Duan Gujin and the others saw a slender middle-aged man standing before them, and they realized this slender man was the previous Wushan Clan Chief.
"Clan Chief, please lay that down. Seeing it makes us uneasy!"
Senior Xuan said calmly.
"Alright!"
The Wushan Clan Chief willed himself, and after a moment, everyone saw the body he had occupied slowly approach a nearby coffin and crawl into it.
When the Wushan Clan Chief saw the corpse enter the coffin, he waved his right hand, and the coffin lid slammed shut.
"Please take us to see the well you mentioned!"
Senior Xuan said.
"Alright!"
The Wushan Clan Chief quickly led Duan Gujin and the others to an ancient well.
Duan Gujin and the others saw that the ancient well looked similar to an ancient well of countless ages; outwardly, there was nothing extraordinary about it.
However, when their Divine Sense wanted to explore the ancient well, they discovered their Divine Sense would be completely ineffective upon entering the well.
They could only widen their eyes and closely observe the ancient well.
"Strange, I didn't find anything special about this ancient well!"
Duan Gujin remarked.
"I also couldn't find anything special about this ancient well!"
Shi Potian agreed.
"Inside this well is a very peculiar energy that's difficult for you to sense! There's a bizarre energy fluctuation beneath this well!"
It was then that Senior Xuan spoke.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin and Shi Potian gasped.
They had full confidence in their ability to detect with their Divine Sense, believing it couldn't be wrong.
But now Senior Xuan was telling them they couldn't sense the energy fluctuations within the well, which shocked them.
"Fainting, I didn't expect that we could have an off day!"
Duan Gujin and Shi Potian felt particularly uncomfortable inside, but they didn't refute Senior Xuan's words.
