Chapter 93: Ethereal Void Beyond Heaven (Part 2)

Early in the morning, Si Cang Qing led his accompanying guards and the Grand Protector of Piaomiao Palace into 

the Heze Poison Forest. After the people in the martial arts world knew that Si Cang Qing was the leader of 

Penglai Pavilion, they all gained confidence, and all the sects sent disciples to follow him.

The Heze Poison Forest was originally a jungle in a swamp. Before this incident, the people around knew that this 

not-too-small body of water could not be approached without permission. If you were not careful, touching 

the water, soil or vegetation there could cause systemic discomfort, ranging from diarrhea and dizziness 

to coma. Over time, the residents here no longer dared to be curious about it.

The interior of the Heze Poison Forest was even more bizarre and dangerous. According to the few words 

left by the ancestors of Penglai Pavilion, this place was a huge maze composed of poisons, miasma and maze 

arrays.

Si Cang Qing has mastered the formation techniques of Penglai Pavilion thoroughly. Penglai Pavilion originally 

inherited all the techniques of Piaomiao Pavilion. This poisonous forest should not be an unsolvable 

problem for him.

After learning from the previous lessons, the people who followed him were also extremely vigilant and prepared 

all kinds of detoxification pills in advance.

Standing in the poisonous forest of Heze, Si Cang Qing silently looked around the surrounding environment - 

since he stepped into this poisonous forest, the whole person suddenly fell into a chaotic state, and it was 

gray and hazy and he couldn't see the direction clearly. Looking around, there were dark trees and thorns, and 

poisonous creatures such as snakes and insects were all over the space.

Looking back at the people in the martial arts world, some people with weak internal strength began to turn 

pale - here, the air is toxic, although it is not serious, but if you breathe too much, it will make people feel 

weak all over.

What Si Cang Qing was puzzled about was that according to the style of Penglai Pavilion, the ancestor 

must not be a vicious person, but why did he lay such a poisonous miasma here? After all, if an uninformed 

person accidentally broke into this place, it would definitely be a dead end!

"Pavillion Master Feng," seeing Si Cang Qing just standing there silently, the people from the martial arts world 

who followed him couldn't help but get anxious. Since they came here, they have lost their direction, and 

the poisonous creatures here keep attacking. Everyone asked Si Cang Qing, "Do you have a way to break the maze 

here?"

Breaking it is not difficult. This maze probably took all the efforts of the two elders back then, so its power is 

that after a certain mysterious place is touched, the maze will be activated again, and it will change into a more 

complicated array barrier. At that time, the outer sky fell, and it was thought that the mechanism was touched, 

and the new maze immediately moved.

The difficulty of this line is that it is easy to advance but difficult to retreat.

But... Si Cang Qing glanced at everyone lightly, didn't say much, and walked forward - although there are 

poisonous creatures everywhere and many mechanisms, there is a way out here. It seems that the ancestors set 

up this maze at the beginning - to guard against outsiders, descendants who are not proficient in array formations.

If nothing unexpected happens, there must be a secret or a problem of Piao Miao Pavilion hidden inside - 

a problem that neither of the two ancestors could solve. They used all their strength to set up this dangerous 

poisonous miasma, but left a very subtle way out, just to let some successor solve it later!

Si Cang Qing took out a half-moon-shaped piece of cold iron from his sleeve and gently stroked it. This piece 

of cold iron was the master's token of Piaomiao Pavilion back then. No one knew how the two factions discussed 

when they split, but this token was left in Penglai Pavilion and has been preserved and passed down.

Before coming to Southern Xinjiang, Si Cang Qing specially sent a letter to Wu Xin to take this thing out - since 

it was a dispute in Piaomiao Pavilion back then, this thing might come in handy!

Thinking all the way and guarding against being attacked, Si Cang Qing finally came to the entrance of the life 

gate of this maze after a whole day of effort, but it turned out to be a dead end!

Looking at the scenery that was almost exactly the same as when he first entered the poisonous forest, 

Si Cang Qing stopped, but there was no way out here.

No wonder Qi Shuangran was trapped here for so many days. I guess he was not very good at formations, and 

he was fooled by the maze countless times here, right?

Si Cang Qing looked coldly at the right front. With the movement that was almost invisible to ordinary people, 

there were slight changes, and gradually, another way out appeared.

This whole day seemed to be wasted.

The sky was already dark, making this chaotic forest even more weird.

"Pavillion Master Feng," someone noticed something strange and asked cautiously, "We seem to have 

returned to the starting point... Now, what should we do?"

Si Cang Qing looked around silently, and then looked up at the blurred sky. After a long time, he said in a low 

voice, "Rest here tonight."

"Pavillion Master Feng?"

Si Cang Qing did not explain, but just swung out the silver thread on his wrist. The silver thread was either 

tough or soft. When people could not see clearly, it instantly tore the thorns and poisonous creatures attached to it 

into countless pieces.

"Ah," everyone in the martial arts world retreated in fear.

"Don't move!" Si Cang Qing said coldly, leaping lightly in the jungle, and the silver thread in his hand flashed a 

dazzling cold light from time to time.

After about a quarter of an hour, Si Cang Qing exerted force on his wrist, and the silver thread seemed to be 

conscious and retracted. Standing quietly in this temporarily split space, Si Cang Qing said indifferently: 

"Don't leave here."

Although there are poisonous creatures everywhere here, many of them are mutually reinforcing and mutually 

restraining. What Si Cang Qing did just now was to use the ready-made things here to temporarily set up a 

safe formation, and take a break.

Seeing the disgusting snake and insect corpses on the ground, the people in the rivers and lakes had to endure 

the discomfort and obey Si Cang Qing's words, not daring to move. It was really a bit tiring, so they moved their 

feet carefully, and did not dare to sit on the ground casually.

Seeing Si Cang Qing sitting there naturally with his legs crossed, everyone looked at him secretly. Since he was 

resting, even if he had many doubts in his heart, it was not easy to speak. After spending a brief day together, 

they had a rough idea of ​​this person's temperament and were really afraid to get close to him.

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

However, the Grand protector of Piaomiao Palace could not help but worry about it, and asked Si Cang Qing 

in a low voice, "Pavilion Master, is it suitable to rest here?" After all, if it is a little later, it might be too late.

Si Cang Qing was silent.

Seeing the other party's reaction, the chief guardian had to shut up awkwardly. After a long time, he spoke again, 

a little puzzled, "Strange, last time I followed the clues left by the Palace Master, I found Tianwaitian all of a 

sudden..."

After looking at the other party lightly, Si Cang Qing closed his eyes and rested. He knew these people's confusion 

and anxiety, but even if he traveled all night here, he would not be able to reach his destination.

After walking around in vain, Si Cang Qing suddenly realized that the way out here was still a way out, but this 

way out not only required space requirements, but also required time to match.

In the records of Penglai Pavilion, the most mysterious formation of Piaomiao Pavilion was the Tianji Formation. 

The Tianji formation is intricate and can use all things to lay a net of heaven and earth. If you use this to lay a 

killing formation, there is no way to escape. But this formation is not without a life gate, but... there are countless 

life gates, but they must be adapted to time. This formation is not only about space, but also about time. People 

who break the formation often don't know this, and are confused by the life gates that appear one after another, 

and eventually they are trapped in the formation.

Only the descendants of Piaomiao Pavilion can use this formation. Even the ancestors of Penglai Pavilion, who 

are famous for their formations, do not know this formation. When Piaomiao Pavilion was in turmoil and 

the Pavilion Master was executed, this formation was lost.

After discovering that this was a poisonous miasma array set up by the Tianji formation, Si Cang Qing decided 

to rest on the spot, because no matter how much time was spent, it was impossible to break this formation - if it 

was not at the right time.

Now, there are two doubts:

First, who created this Heze Poison Forest? It is definitely not as the two factions said that it was created by 

the two elders. Another doubt is, how did Qi Shuangran temporarily break this formation at that time? After all, 

when it comes to setting up and breaking formations, the descendants of Penglai Pavilion are the most powerful 

- now, there is also a suspected descendant of Piaomiao Pavilion.

Tianji formation, even Si Cang Qing can't break it. But Qi Shuangran once broke it and came out once, and even 

led people from various sects in the world. Then...

Si Cang Qing looked at the chief guardian and asked, "What day did Qi Shuangran come out?"

The Grand Protector thought for a moment and said, "April 10th."

In other words, Qi Shuangran was trapped inside for more than two months before he broke the formation? 

It seems that he persisted all the time, and finally broke the maze at the time point of the formation. As long as 

the maze is not activated again, it can remain in its original state temporarily, so it was easy for them to break 

into Tianwai Tian later.

Then, the time to break the formation should be calculable! As long as the time setting pattern in this formation 

is found.

Si Cang Qing's mind turned quickly, intending to find the pattern of calculating the time to break the formation - 

at this time, the most worrying thing is whether the time setting pattern will be changed because of the re-activation 

of the maze!

Now, there is only one way to try.

Compared with other people who broke into the forest together, Si Cang Qing actually didn't have much 

worries in his heart. He was not afraid of the poisonous miasma and poisonous substances here, even if he 

couldn't get out for a while. However, time was still urgent, Qi Shuangran was still trapped in Tianwai Tian; 

moreover, he could not spend too much time here, if Cheng Tianyi attacked Cang Huan at this time, things would 

be troublesome.

Looking down at the cold iron token in his hand, Si Cang Qing thought about the rules of calculation in his mind 

again and again, and overturned his previous ideas again and again - this time, it was really unusually difficult.

The night gradually deepened.

Originally, the crowd was on edge, but seeing Si Cang Qing like this, although they were anxious, they had no 

choice. Later, they cautiously tested sitting on the ground, and finding that nothing was wrong, they gradually 

relaxed and all took a short rest.

Si Cang Qing's mind, however, was racing non-stop, and he gradually felt a bit more confident— as long as 

the previous time-setting rules hadn't changed, he should be able to find the true way out.
