Chapter 371 Mysterious Gas
This was just a side hall. After leaving the side hall, Shen Rugo was about to ask Zhao Cai where to go next.
To her surprise, when she extended her divine sense to the surroundings, she discovered that her perception had increased dramatically once again, and the entire world appeared completely different to her than before.
Her soul power had reached an incredible level, even allowing her to sense the subtle fluctuations between heaven and earth.
She immediately used her soul power to look around, and what she saw shocked her even more.
She could clearly feel the flow of spiritual energy in the air and perceive the direction of the earth's veins beneath her feet.
As she was carefully sensing something, she felt something drawing her in from the shadows, and without hesitation, she walked in that direction.
Before long, she arrived at a place completely shrouded in a gray fog.
There are no birdsong and fragrant flowers, no sacred springs and waterfalls, only a deathly silence.
The earth was dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood for thousands of years, and huge and hideous skeletons could be seen everywhere.
Some shimmered with faint celestial light, while others were entangled in lingering demonic energy.
Broken divine weapons and shattered armor lay scattered on the ground. Countless years had passed, and their spirituality had long been lost, yet they still exuded a chilling residual power.
At this moment, a group of cultivators, numbering about a thousand, had gathered on the outskirts. People from various sects were present, including even the most outstanding disciples of the major sects.
For example, Luo Wuhen of Xuantian Sect, Lin Xuan of Piaomiao Peak, Shi Meng of Penglai Sect, and Su Wanqing of Yuehua Palace.
They were all disciples of the top ten sects, and each of them was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Even the Crimson Serpent Fairy and the Hundred Poisons Scholar were there.
They all looked solemn, and each of them bore some kind of injury, clearly indicating that they had all gone through fierce battles to get here.
All eyes were focused on the gray fog area ahead.
This gray fog is no ordinary fog, but a chaotic force field formed by the intertwining and collision of immortal energy and demonic energy, so dense that it cannot be dissolved!
Within the force field, space distorts, light dims, and divine senses sink like stones into the sea. Occasionally, lingering obsessions manifest as terrifying phantoms, emitting silent roars.
"What a terrifying force field!"
"Divine sense can't detect it at all; going in would be like going blind!"
"Just now, a fellow cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage forcibly broke in, and was torn apart by the force field in less than three breaths!"
The crowd turned pale and hesitated to move forward.
Shen Rugo squatted behind the crowd, picked up a bone with teeth marks, looked at it, and then threw it back.
Immediately, she channeled her soul power, sending a divine sense forward to carefully perceive the chaotic force field.
After a moment, Shen Rugo raised an eyebrow: "This force field doesn't seem so scary."
In her perception, the chaotic force field, which was violent enough to tear apart a Golden Core cultivator, was not uniform, but contained countless tiny, spiderweb-like safe passages.
These channels are precisely the balance points reached by the energies of immortals and demons through countless collisions.
However, they are too subtle and unpredictable for ordinary cultivators with low soul power to detect.
But Shen Rugo is different!
Her already extraordinary soul power increased dramatically after she devoured and refined demonic souls twice.
Let alone the Qi Refining Realm, even the Golden Core Realm is far inferior to her.
Therefore, under her powerful divine sense, she could detect even the slightest fluctuations of spiritual energy within a half-mile radius.
In her eyes, those emergency exits were clearly visible!
"It seems that killing two demonic souls in the secret realm, although it didn't significantly improve my cultivation level, was still somewhat useful."
Shen Rugo nodded, clapped her hands, stood up, and walked straight toward the terrifying chaotic force field amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"She's insane?!"
"A mere seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator dares to attempt this? He's practically courting death!"
"A little girl who's only ten or so years old, which sect has she been sent to her death? Is nobody taking care of her? Why is she being sent to her death?"
The Crimson Serpent Fairy and the others sneered, waiting to see Shen Rugo torn to shreds by the force field.
However, what happened next left everyone speechless.
Shen Rugo stepped into the gray mist, her figure like a ghost, sometimes moving three steps to the left, sometimes seven steps to the right, sometimes moving forward, sometimes backward, and even occasionally jumping in place.
Her movements looked chaotic and ridiculous, yet the chaotic force field, powerful enough to annihilate everything, couldn't even lift the hem of her clothes!
She was like an acrobat walking on a narrow bridge in a storm, each step precisely placed on that one and only fleeting balance point, strolling leisurely towards the core!
"How, how is this possible?!"
The geniuses from various sects, including Lin Xuan of Misty Peak, Luo Wuhen of Xuantian Sect, Shi Meng of Penglai, and Su Wanqing of Moonflower Palace, all opened their eyes wide.
After all, they are powerful and their divine sense far surpasses that of others, making them more able to perceive the terror within.
"She...she can actually see through the energy nodes of a force field?"
"How could a mere ten-year-old at the seventh level of Qi Refining possess such powerful spiritual energy? And how could he have such precise discernment?"
Luo Wuhen gripped the sword tightly, and his usually cold face showed solemnity and disbelief.
Shi Meng opened his mouth wide enough to fit a fist.
Su Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her lips.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Shen Rugo's figure went deeper and deeper into the thick gray fog, leaving behind only a group of so-called prodigies bewildered in the wind.
After passing through that suffocating chaotic force field, Shen Rugo's vision suddenly opened up.
This is a relatively calm basin. At its center is not the mountain of corpses and sea of blood one might imagine, but rather a cloud of gas that constantly changes shape and exudes a primitive and ancient aura.
This aura was one she had never experienced before.
Although she didn't know what kind of aura it was, Shen Rugo's heart was racing. Even the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spiritual roots in her body, along with the lightning and ice spiritual roots, were restless, seemingly filled with a desire to devour that inexplicable gas.
"Wealth, wealth! Quickly sense what kind of gas that is!"
Shen Rugo has long since gotten used to asking Zhao Cai whenever she encounters something she doesn't understand.
The wealth-attracting spirit is like an encyclopedia, knowing everything and understanding everything.
"Your Highness, you've finally remembered me?"
But Zhao Cai let out a wronged complaint.
"What's wrong, Zhao Cai?"
Shen Rugo sensed Zhao Cai's resentment.
"It's nothing. I have been waiting for our great princess's summons. Her summons is the greatest reward for me!"
Zhao Cai immediately began to flatter him.
In fact, Zhao Cai had been secretly sensing the situation outside and was waiting for Shen Rugo to ask it for advice.
But to his surprise, Shen Rugo ignored him and easily walked into the area after arriving there.
Even it couldn't clearly see those energy nodes, but Shen Rugo did.
This left Zhao Cai feeling somewhat lost.
What it fears most is losing its effectiveness in front of Shen Rugo and becoming a useless person.
Once it loses its usefulness, it is truly afraid that one day it will be abandoned by Shen Rugo.
