The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1538

Chapter 1538: Chapter 1534: Witch Clan Forbidden Law Chapter 1538: Chapter 1534: Witch Clan Forbidden Law “This Devouring Element Magic Wand can swallow the vitality of living beings and nourish the controller. It has similarities with the healing secret techniques of Mount Putuo. Thank you, Cousin.” Nie Caizhu said happily.

“You like it, that's good. However, using the Devouring Element Magic Wand too much, the demonic Qi inside might invade the body. Take this Coiling Dragon Wall with you; it can effectively resist the invasion of demonic Qi.” Shen Luo nodded, then took out the Coiling Dragon Wall gifted by Zhenyuanzi and handed it to Nie Caizhu.

His body now possesses strong Pure Yang Power, enough to resist the backlash of demonic Qi; he no longer needs the Coiling Dragon Wall.

Nie Caizhu didn't stand on ceremony, taking the Coiling Dragon Wall and wearing it close to the body.

The two then came to the Silver Light Door but did not rashly enter.

“What should we do next? According to what the Blue Armament Man said, shall we go to the second floor of the Tianyan Palace?” Nie Caizhu looked towards Shen Luo, obviously expecting him to make a decision.

Shen Luo didn't speak but turned his head to look around.

Having waited so long, there was no sign of anyone from Tianji City appearing. Could it be that he was mistaken, and this place is not a secret realm controlled by Tianji City?

“Staying here isn't a solution, and we don't know when the Silver Light Door might disappear. Let's follow the Armored Man's words and head to the second floor for now,” he murmured before speaking up.

Nie Caizhu naturally had no objections. The two stepped into the Silver Light Door, and in a blink, they appeared in a vast square.

Surrounded by drifting white clouds, seemingly endless, it appeared as if it was situated above the clouds. In front of the square stood a gigantic building that seemed to be a Treasure Pagoda.

This tower was entirely in a bluish-gray color, soaring into the sky, appearing to have five layers from where they stood in the square, each layer narrower than the one below. To see the tip of the fifth layer, one would have to tilt their head back as far as possible. It was incredibly majestic and unbelievably colossal, making a person standing in front of it feel as minuscule as ants.

Apart from the tall tower and the square, there were no other objects here.

“Is this the second floor of the Tianyan Palace?” Nie Caizhu gazed at the towering pagoda in front of her, a look of surprise on her face.

“Fire Daoist friend, what do you think this place is?” Shen Luo was also very surprised by the surroundings and communicated with Fire Spirit Child through spiritual transmission.

“Throughout the ages, there have been countless secret realms, I couldn't possibly know them all. However, this place seems peculiar; you should be cautious,” said Fire Spirit Child after rolling his eyes.

“This place looks like a certain secret realm; it seems we are no longer inside Tianji City,” Shen Luo said with a sharpened gaze to Nie Caizhu.

“Could Che Qingtian have also come here?” Nie Caizhu suddenly said.

“It's possible. Cai Zhu, better hide inside the Free and Easy Mirror just to be safe,” Shen Luo had already been covertly monitoring the surroundings and responded.

“Alright, Cousin, please be careful.” Nie Caizhu did not refuse.

Shen Luo activated the Free and Easy Mirror, taking Nie Caizhu inside, then walked towards the tower, quickly arriving at the tower gate.

The tower entrance gate was about forty to fifty zhang high, currently tightly closed and faintly emanating white light, seemingly some form of prohibition.

He waved his hand, emitting a golden light, and pushed as if testing.

The Big Gate opened in response, revealing a pitch-black passage.

“Eh, it opened just like that?” Shen Luo was momentarily stunned.

The passage inside was pitch black, utterly impossible to see the end.

He channeled his Divine Sense into it, but the entire space was filled with a force of prohibition, similar to the prohibitions in the great hall before but several times stronger. His Divine Sense couldn't leave his body at all.

Shen Luo did not recklessly enter; he waved his hand to summon a stream of water, casting the Art of Spirit Communication to summon the Mirror Fiend.

This place was eerily unpredictable; he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible. The Mirror Fiend had already advanced to the True Immortal Stage, and its God's Power was marvelous, providing considerable assistance.

However, no matter how he cast his spells, the Art of Spirit Communication could not sense the existence of the Mirror Fiend, obviously, there was a highly sophisticated prohibition isolating this place from the outside world.

Shen Luo's expression turned solemn. After pondering for a while, he took out the Profound Yellow Staff and the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet to protect his body before stepping into the tower gate.

Inside the gate, the black passageway was extremely dimly lit; even with his vision, he could only make out about ten meters ahead. Even when activating the protective Spiritual Light, he could not illuminate it–the surrounding darkness seemed to absorb the light.

“Is this the Dark Ming Witch Barrier?” Fire Spirit Child exclaimed softly.

“Dark Ming Witch Barrier…related to the Witch Clan?” Shen Luo asked, following up.

“Yes, how could a Witch Clan prohibition appear here?” replied Fire Spirit Child, then he began muttering to himself.

Shen Luo grew more cautious, enhancing the power of the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet a bit more, and continued moving forward.

After walking for a while, Fire Spirit Child suddenly called out to stop.

“What's wrong?” Shen Luo halted.

“There's something strange about the wall on your left hand, hey, Young Master Shen, let me out,” Fire Spirit Child said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo took out the Netherworld Furnace from the Carefree Mirror and looked in that direction.

On the wall to the left were a few faint lines that appeared to be Witch text. He was not familiar with Witch text and did not know what they meant.

Fire Spirit Child emerged from the Netherworld Furnace, stopping in front of those lines of Witch text, completely still.

“What do these Witch texts mean? Can you understand them, Fire Daoist friend?” Shen Luo asked.

“These aren't Witch texts; they are Witch Clan spells. Something seems to be hidden within the wall,” Fire Spirit Child explained, exhaling an object–it was the Black Stone Stele that recorded the Spirit Refining Array.

He danced exuberantly, mimicking the sky-respecting actions of barbarian tribes and formed various hand gestures unlike any magic spells Shen Luo had ever seen.

A beam of black light emanated from the Black Stone Stele, continuously entering the Witch text on the wall.

The lines of Witch Clan spells absorbed the black light and quickly brightened.

Fire Spirit Child pressed his palm against the lines of spells, and the Stone Wall beneath made cracking sounds as it recessed downwards, revealing a half-foot deep slot containing something stark black–an ancient-looking scroll.

“There really is something.” Fire Spirit Child took out the scroll and unfurled it, his expression stunned.

Shen Luo also looked over. Inside, there were neither records of divine techniques nor mysterious Array Techniques, only lines of black, crisscrossed chaotically without any order that resembled a child's scribbles.

Some areas within the black lines had text annotations, but they were all written in Witch text, which Shen Luo could not understand.

At the end of the scroll, there was a complex-looking pattern that seemed to be some sort of marker.

“Fire Daoist friend, you understand Witch text; can you make out what's drawn here?” Shen Luo asked.

“I can only understand the text here, which mentions the Refining Device Hall, Golden Stone Pavilion, Spirit Beast Garden, and so on. It seems to be a map of a large-scale Cave House, but since it's drawn so messily, it might not be real. I also don't understand the final pattern,” Fire Spirit Child said, looking disappointed.

He originally thought that there were some Witch Clan battle formations or Witchcraft Classics hidden within the wall, but it turned out to be an unclear object, suddenly feeling quite bored.
