Chapter 528 Guess
As soon as I let go of my hand, the pages of the book formed by the light automatically dissipated into the air.

But the contents of the pages were still deeply imprinted in Zhang Yunling's mind, shocking him so much that he was unable to speak for a long time.

I never thought that this small, inconspicuous mortal secret realm could contain such horror!
The Bodhisattva Huixin, who was so close to achieving enlightenment, actually died under these inexplicable rules. Even his spirit and soul could not escape and he died completely!

It's totally unreasonable! Why? What the hell are these rules? Covering the entire world, unstoppable, could it be the control of the Mahayana level?
Could it be that this small mortal secret realm is guarded by nine great masters?
This is totally irrational! What's the point? Even the bigger sects wouldn't even look down on a secret realm of this level, okay?
The failure of the first exploration by the Brahma Sect really scared everyone. For a long time, no one dared to enter the so-called doomsday secret realm again to explore and gain merit.

Fortunately, merit is really tempting. Although no one has the courage to go in personally, they are still very brave to send clones, spiritual magic weapons, and various puppets.

After several days of hard work, some mortals in the secret realm were rescued. Although the two worlds could not communicate in the same language, it was not a problem for the many powerful people present.

The Buddhists have telepathy, the Confucianists and Legalists have the self-examination method, and the Taoists have even more methods. It is easy to get enough information from these survivors and find out the unknown source of danger in the secret realm.

However, knowing does not mean being able to solve it. Zhang Yunling looked at the others, and they all had the same confused look on their faces as he did.

Fortunately, after all, there are many people, and everyone can still discuss together:

"Do you think this is true?"

"I'm not sure if it's true, but in theory it can be done. Even if it's not He Dao, a Returning Void who comes to the mortal realm can still take whatever he wants and treat all mortal lives as playthings. It just requires laying out formations, which are not as clear as these rules."

"That's right, we are just mortals. If we just leak a little bit of our aura, we can kill a large number of people without any effort."

"But it's different now. Even a reincarnated bodhisattva like Hui Xin can be killed. The things behind these rules must be not simple. The bald donkeys who practice the law of cause and effect in the Brahma sect are notoriously difficult to kill. I'm afraid even He Dao can't do it so silently."

"Isn't it the end of the world? Where is the end of the world? With so many rules, at most they will kill all the mortals and turn the entire secret realm into a dead zone. It can't be called the end of the world, right?"

"That may not be the case. Right now, these mortals only know seven rules. Isn't it said that there are two more rules that have not been summarized by their government? Who knows, one of them may be able to destroy the world."

"Yes! We must first summarize the two unknown things! Otherwise, who would dare to enter this secret realm again?"

"Yes, I have read these seven rules. In fact, they are not that difficult to solve. As for the first one about lying, we just need to be careful. As for the second one about sunbathing, we have many protective magic weapons, so it is not difficult to solve it. The third one is the same for men and women. We in Chunyang Taoist Palace are all men, which is equivalent to having no..."

"The fourth rule about the ten-person limit has a distance limit, right? Everyone should enter in batches and disperse quickly. Two hundred meters is less than seventy feet, so it's very convenient to transmit sound. The fifth rule about reading and speaking, we don't know their writing, so we don't need to read. We just need to pay attention to the number of times we speak..."

"The seventh rule is also simple. We have no use for electronic products. How can those mortals' tricks compare to our magic weapons that have been refined through thousands of trials?"

"The sixth rule is the most difficult to deal with. It's only 20 miles away, and it's quite dangerous. With this distance, once you go deep into the secret realm and far away from the entrance, it will be difficult to escape. Moreover, these so-called rules must be related to the suns in the sky. There are daily movement restrictions, so it's very difficult to get close. There's no danger to hide in the air, and the danger is too great..."

"There are two more unknown ones, which are also huge hidden dangers. We must eliminate them. We have to find a way to figure out what the specific rules are."

"This is easy! From the information we got from those mortals' brains, their government is still very capable. The previous rules were summarized by the government's tests. We just need to send our clones and puppets to their capital and find the people in the government. We should be able to get some information."

"Is it necessary to go through so much trouble? I don't know what's going on in this mysterious realm. The clones and puppets consume a lot of energy and it's hard to stay here for long. I think there are still many survivors. Why not organize them to go for testing..."

"Are you stupid? Although these guys are mortals, they are also meritorious! The humanitarian merits gained from rescuing those guys before are much greater than the merits gained from eliminating the weirdness before! It is clearly written in the Sutra of Original Vow and Merit that doing good will gain merit, but doing evil will generate karma! You don't want to be entangled by karma, do you?"

"Yes! We still need to save as many mortals as possible in the secret realm. Let's send the puppet to the capital first. It would be best if we can find an official mortal official. If not, we will think of another way."

"Even if there are no clues, it's easy to deal with! There isn't much else in this human-demon border, but there are many robbery cultivators, each of whom has committed serious sins. We can capture some of them, impose some restrictions on them, let them enter the secret realm for testing, and save people by the way. This is the most convenient way. It may have less merit, but at least it's safe and there's no cost."

"Yes, yes, yes! And there are those who are about to die! There are many of them in the world of immortal cultivation. We can teach them the first three levels of the Sutra of Original Vow and Merit, and let them come in and work for us. In order to earn merit and prolong their lives, we are not afraid that they will work very hard!"

……

Everyone was discussing at once, and there was strength in numbers. The collision of minds produced ideas, which quickly freed everyone from the initial confusion. Everyone became confident again, dispelling most of the fear brought about by the previous death of the great Brahma sect leader.

Everyone is a cultivator, seeking immortality, the great way, and everyone wants to gain more merits, but no one wants to die inexplicably, with their souls scattered and not even knowing if they will have the chance to reincarnate.

After discussing for most of the day, everyone came to the conclusion that these strange rules are indeed difficult to crack, and the legendary merits of heaven cannot be obtained in a moment, so now is the time to hurry up, save more mortals in this doomsday secret realm, and gain more merits of humanity.

After all, this is a rare good thing.

After the disbandment, Zhang Yunling once again summoned his Yang Fire Puppet.

This puppet has entered the secret realm of doomsday several times, rescued more than eighty mortals, and gained a thin layer of humanitarian merit. It is indeed much more efficient than the world of cultivation. If it can do dozens of times more, it will be able to break through to the early stage of the God Transformation.

It's a pity that the Yang Fire Puppet is a pure spiritual power creation. Although it is not subject to the 20-mile daily limit of Article 6 and can travel a thousand miles in an instant, for some reason, its consumption in the Doomsday Secret Realm is extremely high. Currently, the Yang spiritual power in the talisman is less than one-tenth, and it may be completely scrapped after one or two more uses.

This thing is a family secret. Although it is only at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm, it consumes a lot of spiritual materials and requires a small ball of sixth-order spiritual fire as the core. It is difficult to make. According to Zhang Yunling, there are not many stocks in the family. Although the autonomous spiritual magic weapon is not subject to the sixth restriction, the number is rare. Even though he is a Pure Yang Taoist, he only has a Pure Yang Flying Sword on hand. This is also his life magic weapon. If it is lost or damaged in this Doomsday Secret Realm, I am afraid that I will stop before the Dao Integration in this life. It is absolutely not advisable to take risks.

Moreover, spiritual magic weapons are not like the Yang Fire Puppets. They cannot speak and have difficulty communicating with people in the Doomsday Secret Realm. It is difficult to convince others to follow them and leave, so the efficiency of rescuing people is extremely low.

As for the art of clone, Zhang Yunling had naturally practiced it, but he had not mastered it to the highest level. He was unable to inject spiritual consciousness and soul into it to allow it to move freely, and it could only move within the range of his own spiritual consciousness.

Each family's clone technique is different, and the restrictions in the secret realm are also very different. Some are subject to the sixth restriction, and will suddenly die and dissipate if moving more than twenty miles, while others are not restricted and can move freely. The four families' Fanxu held a meeting to study it, but have not yet figured out the key.

While thinking about how to earn humanitarian merit after the Yang Fire Puppet dissipated, Zhang Yunling asked the Yang Fire Puppet to line up and wait to enter this doomsday secret realm.

There is no way. This secret realm is really weird. Everyone must enter at intervals to avoid triggering those weird rules and causing unnecessary losses.

One person moves every half a quarter of an hour, and the team moves forward very slowly.

Suddenly, a bronze Buddhist lion statue walked out of the secret gate not far away, followed by five mortal survivors who looked pale and thin.

However, the lion statue had just taken less than ten steps when it paused and the entire statue shattered into countless pieces, scattering all over the ground.

Fortunately, the spirituality inside was not lost and turned into a small ball of light, which fell into the hands of a Buddhist monk named Fanxu.

Soon, the monk Fanxu frowned and looked very unhappy. He threw out his cassock and it turned into a small golden-red temple. He invited several other monks from the Buddhist sect Fanxu to come in and talk about something.

The Brahma sect has always been like this, being secretive in doing things, and liking to play tricks, making simple things confusing and making people unable to understand. They are far less united than the Taoist sect, which will directly share any information they have.

The Confucian school is the most chaotic. Everyone has their own ideas. They seem to help each other, but the vigilance and barriers between them can be seen with the naked eye. They are completely a group of scattered sand and there is no need to be afraid of them.

Finally, it was the Yang Fire Puppet's turn. Zhang Yunling gave it an order to continue searching for survivors and rescue them safely, with no more than eight people allowed at a time, and then he let it walk into the secret realm gate.

Of course, this time we learned from the previous lessons and let the Yang Fire Puppet carry some spiritual water to nourish the vitality. It was not at the first level, but as long as the mortal was not dead, even the weakest one could restore his strength immediately after swallowing it, and have the mobility to travel long distances, which was enough to last for three days.

There is no other way. Rescuing mortals is troublesome. Finding people is easy, but bringing people back from far away requires consideration of many issues. It often takes several days, and it is foreseeable that the time for each trip will become longer as the distance increases.

Things to do after the mortals were rescued had already been arranged. The human-demon border was a little chaotic after all, so in order to prevent the increase of karma, they specially negotiated with the nearby Tiance Territory and bought a piece of mortal territory.

He then used high-level earth magic, assisted by the secret art of spiritual plants and the wood magic, to turn the wilderness into fertile land, gaining tens of millions of acres of good farmland and tens of thousands of mansions to shelter from the wind and rain. He also purchased a lot of food and farm tools from mortals, enough for a million people to survive.

Of course, these rescued mortals were immediately carefully investigated by the four forces, and even Zhang Yunling himself opened his spiritual eyes to examine them carefully.

It has been confirmed that the mortals in these secret realms are indeed mortals without a doubt. They do not have any spiritual roots in their bodies. Both their bones and flesh are the same as those of the mortals without spiritual roots in the world of cultivation.

The only difference was that each of these people looked very panicked, but no one of them lied. When they answered, they told everything they knew, and every sentence was the truth, making all the secret lie detection techniques of various companies useless.

I heard that the first rule in the doomsday secret realm that prohibits lying was the earliest to appear and has lasted for thousands of years. I really don’t know how this group of people survived in such an environment.

However, think about it, if everyone stopped lying, it would indeed reduce a lot of disputes and a lot of crimes.

But the following rules are completely different. They are designed with the goal of completely destroying this group of mortals. Each one is so cold and cruel.

What kind of existence would make these rules and play tricks on these mortals?
Will such a rule appear in the world of cultivation, and appear on people like us? If it appears in the world of cultivation, I am afraid that countless people will die!
I always feel that there is a great terror behind this doomsday secret realm!

Can the eighteen major formations at the entrance of this secret realm really stop the terrifying existence in the secret realm that can arbitrarily make the rules of heaven?

Just when Zhang Yunling was worried, the gate of the cassock temple not far away opened, and several Fanxu monks flew out. They came to the Fanxu monks of the other three forces respectively, and it was unknown what they said.

But it was definitely not good news. Zhang Yunling could clearly see that Dan Xizi's face instantly became serious.

Since the news had spread, it could not be concealed. Within half a day, Dan Xizi summoned everyone in the Chunyang Taoist Palace and announced the news shared from the Brahma Sect:
"The people of Brahma Sect found the capital city in the secret world and wanted to get some information about the eighth and ninth rules from the government. But they found that the place had been razed to the ground and the entire land had turned into a smooth mirror."

"There are four similar areas in this entire secret realm. They are all capitals of large mortal kingdoms. There are no survivors. Mortals cannot achieve such power. An attack covering a radius of thousands of miles must be a full-strength attack from at least a peak Nascent Soul."

"In addition, the Brahma Sect also sent some clones and puppets to fly into the void to approach the nine suns, but without exception, none of them came back. Three of the puppets were able to burst out with the power of the Return to Void level, but they didn't even send any news back."
