Chapter 1038 The Seventy-Two Labyrinth
Just like how an organ in the human body is reduced to the size of a cell.
Now the Du E Sect is hidden in the void of the Wanxian Alliance Goumangzhou, invisible and unknowable to ordinary people.
Following the coordinates given by the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan arrived at a position 36,000 zhang above Goumangzhou.
The entrance to the Du E Sect is right here.
The Du E Sect, reduced by a factor of ten thousand, was already like dust, and in addition, there was a prohibition on detection.
So even with Li Fan's current observational skills, he still couldn't detect any trace of the Du E Sect, even when he already knew the result.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan silently operated the Infinite Void Law, and then cut off a small part of his soul.
After the soul left the body, it transformed into a small likeness of Li Fan, turned into a wisp of white light, and entered the small void ahead.
As the surrounding objects expanded a thousand times, the space around Li Fan's split soul also quickly became vast.
The split soul flew through the vast void, searching for traces of the entrance to the nearby Du E Sect.
To enter the Du E Sect, finding the entrance is the first step.
"Not only is it simply shrinking, but even the space itself here is multiple overlapping directions."
Before long, sensing the familiar aura of the prohibition, Li Fan's figure suddenly stopped.
Upon careful scrutiny, Li Fan discovered a region in the nearby void that seemed to be inlaid with a mirror-like surface, giving off a slightly discordant vibe.
Ordinary people would have a hard time perceiving this, but Li Fan had already deduced and deciphered the prohibition in the jade plate many times, so he was very familiar with it.
Without hesitation, he flew towards the "mirror."
Like suddenly passing through an invisible bubble, in an instant, Li Fan felt that the space around him had undergone multiple inversions in terms of up and down and left and right.
A slight dizziness came over him, and Li Fan knew that he had entered the second layer of space.
After entering the inner layer of space, in addition to the correct passage, there were many "forks" set up as well.
Anyone who entered these would be transported to other void mazes used to confuse.
There is no exit, only a constantly expanding, microscopic level.
It's difficult enough to not get lost, let alone to return and search for the Du E Sect again.
Fortunately, armed with the correct answer, Li Fan proceeded with caution. After delving into the seventy-two layers of space, he finally saw a floating mountain ahead in the void.
The seventy-two layers of space had been reduced by ten thousand times.
The void was no longer the conventional pitch-black, but rather an eerie light purple.
At the boundaries illuminated by the purple light, there were occasional streaks flashing by at high speed.
Leaving only faint traces, which quickly disappeared without a trace.
The speed was so fast that even Li Fan couldn't catch them.
What's even more peculiar is that in this space, there were irregularly appearing purple light balls at irregular intervals.
Like the sun, and yet like a group of stars.
After briefly illuminating this place, they quickly disappeared.
...
Against the backdrop of these bizarre scenes, the Du E Sect in the distance appeared even more eerie and strange.
Li Fan's split soul slowly approached the mountain.
After passing through a protective barrier, he officially entered the interior of the Du E Sect.
It seemed to be an independent space, and Li Fan finally heard a sound in his ears.
There were no specific sounds, just the presence of sound. Unlike the absolute silence during his descent into the seventy-two layers of space.
Li Fan's current location was at the foot of the mountain.
Looking ahead, there was only a stone staircase leading upwards, and Li Fan attempted to fly directly up the mountain.
Before he could fly far, everything flickered, and Li Fan found himself back in the same spot.
"I wonder if this is due to the prohibition or the original protective measures of the Du E Sect?"
Li Fan thought to himself and gave up flying, instead walking up the mountain step by step.
"Huh?"
After taking a few steps, his feet suddenly stopped.
"Am I imagining things?"
Just now, it seemed like a figure ran past him and went straight up the mountain.
Li Fan didn't "see" the figure, but he definitely felt it.
"Playing tricks..."
Li Fan snorted and continued forward.
Sure enough, with every step he took up the mountain, he felt the appearance of that shadowy figure.
Some followed him up the mountain, while others came down from the mountain.
The frequency of their appearances became more and more frequent, and...
"Each appearance brings a more pronounced feeling."
A trace of seriousness appeared on Li Fan's face.
At first, it was just like a gentle breeze. But now, whenever the figure passed by him, he could clearly feel the chilling and damp sensation.
So much so that even this split soul felt like a mortal running during the Dog Days, drenched in sweat...
"Sweat?"
Li Fan suddenly woke up and realized that something was wrong.
He scanned himself with his divine sense, but found nothing abnormal.
He then used the Water Mirror Technique to look at the mirror.
Instantly, a tingling sensation spread across Li Fan's scalp.
The dark figures that had brushed past him hadn't disappeared after all.
They were stacked one on top of the other, all lying on his back.
What was even more terrifying was that, if not for the reflection in the mirror, Li Fan wouldn't have noticed at all!
As if they had seen his gaze in the mirror's reflection, the previously blurry faces of those shadows gradually became clear.
An overlapping of pale and haggard faces, their voices intermittently ringing in Li Fan's ears.
"Up the mountain, let's go up the mountain..."
"Run! Run fast!"
"Friend, could you give me a ride? This mountain road is too difficult to walk."
"So tired. So tired. Are we getting close to the exit?"
...
At the same time as these voices, Li Fan was horrified to find that his body was beginning to mimic the different actions corresponding to each voice.
Wanting to go up the mountain, and desperately wanting to escape.
Neither party wanted to let the other win.
"In this completely opposite contradiction, it's as if there are many people pulling in different directions at once."
Li Fan's body was torn apart in an instant.
"This is right, this is right..."
Both sides cheered as they each got their own share and split ways.
One up, one down, both moving rapidly along the mountain path.
As if contaminated by these shadows, the two halves of Li Fan's body were shrouded in thick darkness.
In the midst of this changing and corroding of light and shadow, the two halves quietly transformed back into two complete bodies.
Outside of the Du E Sect, in the normal space of the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan experienced the scenes simultaneously from both of his split souls, with a look of keen interest on his face.
One on the left, one on the right.
Two images presented simultaneously.
