The Eternal World

It had to be said that the experience of the beasts just now had made Zhang Chao extremely tired.

He simply sat down on one of the stairs and rested for a long time. Then, he reorganized himself and headed towards the Unparalleled Sect.

Inside Unparalleled Sect, it was a scene of ruin.

There were rocks and broken walls everywhere, and piles of rubble.

The thick wall was also covered in sword and saber marks. From this, one could see the gleam of the sword and the shadow of the sword back then.

After passing through a broken back door, he entered a forest.

"The tomb..." Looking around, he saw a lot of earth mound with weeds growing on top of it. The forest was located in the middle of the forest.

It could be seen that these burial mounds were all the disciples of Unparalleled Sect who had died in battle, and were hastily buried here.

Originally, this forest should have been used for other purposes. However, after the corpses were buried, it became a graveyard.

Zhang Chao looked back and forth at the wooden signboard erected in front of the grave, and sure enough, they were all ordinary disciples, thinking about it, it was true. An expert like Zang Hua, how could she possibly be buried in this kind of place so casually?

After circling around, he did not find anything special, so Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders and continued forward.

After walking out of the forest, he arrived at a vast medicinal garden.

But unfortunately, there was nothing left in the courtyard.

Even though there were still a large amount of herbs, they had all withered after eight hundred years of no one paying attention to them.

"Sigh, what a pity!" Zhang Chao looked around the medicinal garden and couldn't help but sigh.

These herbs were all rare and precious. Many of them were only recorded in ancient books and had long been extinct in the market.

"These herbs, gee, if I were given them, I'd be able to make many legendary elixirs!" Zhang Chao muttered in heartache.

With nothing to show for his efforts in the garden, he continued on his way and walked out of the garden. It was a wide open space.

On both sides of the open space, there were houses and workshops.

If I guess correctly, this is one of the places that provides supplies to the Unparalleled Sect, just like its service area.

"I guess there's nothing to fish for here. Even if there was, who knows how many times he would have swept it eight hundred years ago!" Zhang Chao curled his lips and could only regretfully leave.

But just as he gradually walked far away, a figure pushed open the door and walked out from a house to the side. After that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Chao's back;

… ….

After an hour, Zhang Chao finally arrived at a place that looked luxurious and grand.

This place was filled with palaces. Even the sand on the ground was no longer yellow and had turned into green bricks.

"It looks like this is where the official disciples of the Unparalleled Sect are located!" Zhang Chao scratched his head, sighing deeply. Seems like the War God Academy at that time was already grand, but compared to the Unparalleled Sect, it was just like a small witch meeting a great god. To put it harshly, it was not even considered fart!

It had to be known that he'd walked for over an hour from the service area to the official disciples' area.

During this time, they had passed through herb gardens, cleaning areas, feeding grounds, recharge areas, and so on. Each of these places took up a large area, but unfortunately, it was extremely dilapidated and did not leave anything behind.

Even the food in the trough where the pigs were being fed had been stripped clean, as if someone had licked it.

However, now that they had reached the area for official disciples, this place was truly eye-catching.

Relatively speaking, these buildings were still intact, but the bloodstains on the ground showed just how desperate the battle had been that year. Or maybe the disciples of the Unparalleled Sect were fighting a bloody battle here, protecting the final glory of the sect.

However, in the end, they were unable to protect the continued existence of the sect and all their efforts were in vain.

Sighing, Zhang Chao continued to walk forward.

All of a sudden, his pupils abruptly constricted as he flipped several meters backwards in midair.

Soon after, a few black long spears shot towards where he had landed and shattered the thick green bricks.

Without any warning!

There were no elemental energy waves and no killing intent appeared!

Zhang Chao's forehead started to drip with cold sweat.

It's a mechanism!

It had been abandoned for eight hundred years, and the mechanisms here were still so easy to use?

What did he rely on?

Capture the elemental energy waves from his body?

Zhang Chao immediately withdrew all of his elemental energy and did not release even the slightest bit of it. He once again carefully moved forward.

As expected, no black spear appeared this time.

After walking for another ten steps, he was completely safe.

"Phew, everything should be fine this time!" He wiped off his cold sweat and looked around.

On top of a few tall buildings, there were a few pitch-black holes.

Presumably, this was where the black spear had shot out from!

But as he watched, he took another step forward.

Suddenly, his whole body sank down.

At some point in time, a huge black hole had appeared on the ground!

"No way!" With a startled cry, Zhang Chao fell down from the sky uncontrollably.

Because he had withdrawn all his elemental energy, he had no time to use his elemental energy to protect his body, much less react in time.

"Ugh!" After a few breaths, Zhang Chao fell into the pit, and his thigh was pierced by a sharp iron spike, causing his entire body to tremble in pain.

Looking to the side, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he was lucky.

This was because the entire crater was filled with iron spikes, and the others he had cleverly missed. Only his thighs hadn't been able to dodge them.

"Motherf * cker, there's no way I can hide from the second trap! How many traps are there in this damn place?!" Zhang Chao curled the corner of his mouth, and then, a strand of spirit energy gushed out from his palm, directly slicing through the iron spike that had pierced him.

He then took out the pill and applied it internally, at the same time activating Cyan Bag Curse to speed up the recovery of his injuries.

However, at this moment, a few heads suddenly poked out from the top of the hole.

Maybe because he was backlit, Zhang Chao could not see their appearances, and had even deliberately used his left eye.

However, when his left eye saw the appearance of these heads, he was shocked and could not help but shiver all over!

Those faces were not human at all!

Their bodies were completely black, and their faces were spread out from left to right. Rows of sharp teeth could be seen on both sides of their faces, and in the middle of their teeth was a red eyeball!

"Damn, this …" What are these? " Zhang Chao opened his eyes wide, and felt a chill all over his body.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy.

It was as if those fellows' red eyeballs were emitting a strange power, causing their consciousness to gradually become blurry …

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Suddenly, he jolted awake.

His entire body was thoroughly drenched in cold sweat.

"Hu!" He took a deep breath, but his breathing was ragged.

Sitting up, he first touched the wound on his thigh.

After all, he had the Ingurgitation Curse with him. With his pill, this kind of penetrating wound wouldn't affect him for too long.

But where was he now?

He was no longer in the pit.

And now, he was in a pitch black passageway.

The light here was extremely weak, but it could not affect Zhang Chao's left eye much.

As far as the eye could see, the tunnel was very deep, narrow and long. Moreover, it was somewhat moist.

Moreover, the surrounding stone walls were uneven and extremely rough. It did not seem to be meticulously constructed, but rather, it seemed to have been hastily excavated without any time to meticulously repair it.

Where would this passageway lead to?

What were those strange humanoids?

Why was he here?

Could it be that those humanoid creatures threw him here after he used one of his red eyeballs to stun him?

But if that was the case, then what was their purpose in doing so?

Zhang Chao thought about all of this for a long time yet he still couldn't think of an explanation.

However, now was not the time to think. He stretched his legs and walked along the path.

After roughly an hour of walking, the tunnel ahead suddenly widened.

At the same time, countless forks of the road appeared in front of him.

"The fork in the road..." Zhang Chao squinted his eyes, standing in front of the fork in the road and thought for a long time, then he picked one person to walk in.

Of course, he was extremely careful with every step he took. He was afraid of encountering traps again.

After walking for a while, he came to a stone room.

The room was not very large, about the size of a guest room in an ordinary inn.

In front of his eyes, there were piles of white bones, overlapping and forming a small mountain.

These bones should have been here a long time ago, but perhaps it was because the situation in the tunnel was better, so the damage to the bones was very low. Perhaps even after hundreds of thousands of years, they could still maintain their ghastly white color.

Zhang Chao walked around the room a few times and discovered that other than this pile of bones, there was nothing else here. Even the walls were completely bare.

"So many human bones piled up in a single room?" Zhang Chao scratched his head: "What kind of act is this?"

When he raised his head to look at the top of the pile of dried up bones, his pupils couldn't help but constrict.

At the very top, a skull was neatly placed there.

The skull's mouth was wide open, as if there was something inside it.

With a thought, Zhang Chao used Fa Wei's Divine Sense and directly pulled the skull over, and it landed in his hands.

A closer look revealed that there was a black doll in the skull's mouth.

He opened the skull's mouth and took out the golem.

If one looked closely, one would not even know what material the golem was made of.

However, the workmanship of the puppet was extremely exquisite. It looked just like a real person. It had all the facial features, its eyes were closed, and it was wearing a suit. The corner of its mouth slightly raised as if it was smiling.

"What is it for?" Zhang Chao studied the golem for a long time, but could not find anything special about the golem, so he kept it in his bosom. After looking at it again, he realised that there was nothing worth noting, and turned to leave.

However, at the same time he left, he did not notice that the golem in his embrace had suddenly opened its eyes and revealed a sinister smile …
