This also has Ye Zhaozhao to thank.
Ten years ago, when Ye Zhaozhao was obliterated.
Due to the existence of the barrier, her true spirit did not immediately dissipate. Instead, it constructed a memory world, hoping to play one last trick on herself.
Ye Zhaozhao was capable of doing such a thing.
Then…
What about the Langya Sect, which was once glorious five hundred thousand years ago?!
These disciples are already dead.
This is undeniable.
However.
Their powerful resentment and anger allowed a trace of their true spirits to remain within the Langya Sect!
These disciples continue to live here, day after day, year after year, according to their habits and preferences when they were alive.
They are clearly already dead.
But their last trace of true spirit has been trapped here for a full five hundred thousand years.
Without this trace of true spirit, it would be extremely difficult for their souls to transmigrate and reincarnate; they can only struggle to cross the River of Forgetfulness.
Even if they were to forcibly transmigrate, the reincarnated individuals would likely be mentally deficient, never again possessing their former grace.
Therefore.
Heaven's punishment for the Langya Sect...
has never ended!
These disciples of the Langya Sect are still paying an unimaginable price for their past greed and impulsiveness.
Li Shuang was not the only one who tried to communicate with other Langya Sect disciples.
Everyone was initially somewhat apprehensive, but as they cautiously probed, they discovered that, apart from Lin An, the other Langya Sect disciples seemed relatively benevolent.
At most, they would ignore them; they would not suddenly attack and kill.
Everyone began to try every means to build relationships with these Langya Sect disciples.
Although they still didn't know what good it would do, what if this connection could be useful later on!
"Hello, Senior Brother. I'm a newly initiated disciple. The first time I saw you, I felt that Senior Brother was exceptionally handsome and admirable!"
This is the flattery school.
"Senior Sister? Is it... is it you? We met before! Ten years ago, you saved my life! Senior Sister, I'm here to repay your kindness now!"
This is the fabrication school.
"Oh, the flute on you, why does it seem familiar? I once, it seems, saw it somewhere. Let me think carefully, could it be, could it be the legendary..."
The words abruptly stopped, and this person just waited for the Langya Sect disciple to ask.
This is the pretentious school.
However.
No matter what methods they used, these Langya Sect disciples remained immersed in their own worlds.
They seemed to have their own set patterns, and most of the time, they would only act and speak according to the predetermined script.
After realizing that these Langya Sect disciples truly wouldn't communicate, everyone could only begin to observe their daily routines, hoping to discover some clues.
Langya Sect Disciple A: Three more days! We are about to ascend as a whole sect! What a grand occasion that will be!
Langya Sect Disciple B: I wonder what the Immortal Realm looks like! It's truly captivating!
Langya Sect Disciple C: I just wonder, if we fail... what kind of outcome will there be!
Langya Sect Disciple D: Fail? That's impossible! My Langya Sect gathers all the resources of the world into one sect; beyond Langya Sect, there are no other geniuses! We, who gather the world's destiny, will surely ascend to immortality in one go. You must not speak such unsettling words.
Langya Sect Disciple C: It was my overthinking!
Langya Sect Disciple A: Let's go! Let's prepare the Ascension Grand Formation together!
These several Langya Sect disciples repeatedly spoke these same lines.
According to the actual situation, after speaking, they should have gone to prepare the Ascension Grand Formation.
But here.
They simply started repeating the dialogue anew.
Such dialogues were happening in various corners of the Langya Sect.
Li Shuang tried her best to gather all the information.
But the Langya Sect was too large, and collecting all the information before sunset seemed a bit difficult.
Li Shuang could only go to some key locations according to her understanding to gather some information.
First. The current time point in Langya Sect is three days before ascension.
It seems.
The time limit for them in Langya Sect should also be only three days.
Three days later.
The Langya Sect ascending as a whole will surely lead to some unforeseen event.
But the rules state.
They need one point for each day they stay here. If they are destined to leave after three days.
Then what's the use of them acquiring so many points?
Wouldn't three points be enough?
It's likely there's more to this.
Secondly.
Li Shuang discovered that the overall atmosphere of the current Langya Sect was incredibly fervent. Most people were dreaming of ascending to immortality.
Some were forging weapons, some were setting up formations, and some were refining elixirs.
All the disciples were extremely busy.
The two most frequently mentioned terms in their mouths were:
One is the divine artifact, Thousand Silk Net!
The other is the Ascension Grand Formation!
All their efforts were either to perfect the Ascension Grand Formation or to provide energy for the Thousand Silk Net.
However.
Li Shuang toured the entire Langya Sect but did not find the location of the Ascension Grand Formation or the Thousand Silk Net.
Even stranger.
She searched the entire Langya Sect but couldn't find the Monster Beast Pavilion that Lin An spoke of!
Lin An stated clearly that at night, monsters would escape, and capturing them and returning them to the Monster Beast Pavilion would also earn points.
If she couldn't even find the Monster Beast Pavilion, how could she catch monsters?
Or rather...
Some areas are only unlocked at night.
Li Shuang's eyes flickered.
The rules forbid leaving the disciple dormitories at night; leaving means death.
Yet, new areas are set to appear only at night, meaning to solve the riddle, one must go out.
These two rules...
are truly interesting.
However, this is just her conjecture for now; she'll know the specific situation when night falls.
Currently, the most important thing is to first choose a task to complete.
Li Shuang looked at these bustling disciples of the Langya Sect, a faint purple glow dyed her eyes.
The Cycle of Rebirth technique activated at this moment.
As soon as Li Shuang activated the Cycle of Rebirth, these disciples of the Langya Sect, who were repeating their mechanical movements, suddenly paused and all turned to look at Li Shuang.
Their lips were slightly parted, and a faint hint of confusion flickered in their eyes.
For some reason.
They felt a profound sense of familiarity with the person before them, even an impulse to merge with her.
Li Shuang sighed inwardly.
These people have been trapped for five hundred thousand years, and their greatest wish is probably to be able to reincarnate.
The Cycle of Rebirth can communicate with the underworld, and their souls are currently struggling above the River of Forgetfulness.
These residual true spirits are incredibly eager to return to their original bodies, so they naturally feel an inexplicable sense of closeness to Li Shuang, who can connect the two realms.
Operating the Cycle of Rebirth, Li Shuang then tried to converse with these souls.
She discovered.
These souls could actually answer some simple questions, instead of just continuing their mechanical actions.
