Chapter 3 The Third Layer
With a trembling heart, Li Xuan pushed open the door to the third interlayer and stepped inside.
The furnishings were the same, and the box on the table was also identical. Li Xuan felt a little relieved at the sight, then directly opened the box and looked inside.
But in the next moment, Li Xuan's face instantly froze. There was only a note inside the box, nothing else.
"Rely on yourself for everything."
Li Xuan was on the verge of tears. This time, he was truly finished.
Beneath a certain starry sky, the woman in yellow looked up at the man in front of her and asked, "Master, are you really not going to intervene?"
The man stopped, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "If I left him a solution, when would he ever be able to grow? Some things, he must face them himself."
The woman in yellow spoke again, "But with his current strength and situation, he has no way to suppress those three."
The man's lips curved upwards, "Cast into death and live."
After speaking, the man slowly walked forward.
There, a golden boundary marker appeared. As if sensing someone approaching, a man in golden armor immediately appeared.
"This place is impassable!" the man in golden armor said sternly.
"What nonsense," the man frowned slightly, then waved his hand, and the man in golden armor instantly disintegrated and disappeared.
"Young master, how is it?" As Li Xuan left the interlayer, the Heavenly Dao Brush, the Azure Spirit Tower, and the Prison Spirit all came onto Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then, his gaze fell upon the three stone coffins. "Master's intention is, I'm afraid, for me to resolve this trouble myself."
"Master, with your strength, I'm afraid you have no way to resolve it," the Azure Spirit Tower immediately said.
Li Xuan nodded, "I know, but I have to try."
"Young master, I do have a way," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan looked at the Heavenly Dao Brush with curiosity, and the Prison Spirit and the Azure Spirit Tower also cast their gazes.
The Heavenly Dao Brush said, "With your current strength, young master, suppressing the three of them is clearly impossible. The only way is to find spirit swords that have reached the level of divine swords. And finding three divine swords is not an easy task."
The Heavenly Dao Brush paused, "But young master, you have a half-broken sacred sword with you."
Li Xuan was stunned, then looked around. The half-broken sacred sword had not come in. Judging by its appearance, it was clear the Heavenly Dao Brush had been prepared for this.
"It's only a half-broken sacred sword, and at most, it can only be equivalent to the power of two divine swords. Moreover, it chose to follow me; I cannot simply bind it here." Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Brush sighed helplessly. Since Li Xuan had said so, there was nothing it could do.
"Stop sighing. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten itself out. I'll go out and think of a way." Looking at the solemn expressions of the Prison Spirit and the others, Li Xuan smiled and said. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan left the Town Prison.
"Master, actually, I can seal two of them," Li Xuan had just appeared in the thatched hut when the half-broken sacred sword also spoke.
Li Xuan shook his head, "Even if you can seal two, there is still one that cannot be resolved. Any one of them is enough to sweep this world. So, whether this method is used or not, the result will be the same."
Before the half-broken sacred sword could speak further, Li Xuan moved his mind and put it into the Town Prison.
In less than two months... Li Xuan fell silent for a moment and then set off. Although time was short, it was better than waiting to die. The only way to solve the problem now was for Li Xuan to find three divine swords. With the Prison Spirit's abilities, it would be completely possible to re-suppress the three stone coffins on the third layer.
Soon, Li Xuan sped away. In just an hour, Li Xuan arrived at the entrance of the forest where he had entered before.
Bang!
Just as Li Xuan was about to walk out, he was instantly bounced back.
Li Xuan got up, examined his surroundings, and then tentatively reached out to sweep forward.
Bang!
Soon, Li Xuan's hand was repelled. Unconvinced, Li Xuan directly punched out with his fist, but was instantly knocked back. Even when Li Xuan finally took out his immortal sword, there was still no reaction.
"Young master, this is a Heavenly Restraint!" The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
"Heavenly Restraint?" Li Xuan frowned. He had heard of restraints, but this Heavenly Restraint was the first time he had heard of it.
"Heavenly Restraints are born of heaven and earth. They cannot be broken by human power. To put it simply, this place allows entry but not exit. If you hadn't encountered it just now, I wouldn't have discovered its existence," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, "Then, is there a way to get out from the other side?"
The Heavenly Dao Brush said, "Young master, I am just a brush."
Li Xuan was speechless. Wasn't he going through unnecessary trouble?
"Young master, I think you should go further inside. Perhaps on the other side, there is indeed a possibility of getting out," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan nodded helplessly. He couldn't get out from here.
Soon, Li Xuan sped forward continuously. After all, there were less than two months left, and Li Xuan dared not linger here. Moreover, the appearance of the Heavenly Restraint weighed heavily on Li Xuan's heart.
Three days later, Li Xuan stopped. Just now, Li Xuan had once again experienced being bounced back. Clearly, the Heavenly Restraint had reached its limit.
Tentatively touching the left and right sides, Li Xuan instantly confirmed. This Heavenly Restraint was like an inverted bowl.
"Young master, you're finished now," the Heavenly Dao Brush also appeared from the Town Prison. After touching the unseen Heavenly Restraint ahead, it returned to Li Xuan's side and said.
Li Xuan also gave a helpless bitter smile. The Heavenly Restraint was invisible, but every time he tried to walk out, he would be blocked, and the harder he pushed, the more he would be repelled. Even Li Xuan's Divine Roaming Teleportation had lost its effect.
Furthermore, Li Xuan also tried to fly upwards. But the result was the same. When Li Xuan flew to mid-air, he was also suppressed.
Cannot fly, cannot use divine abilities!
At this moment, Li Xuan was still at a loss.
"Heavenly Dao Brush, how much more do you know about this Heavenly Restraint?" Li Xuan asked after some thought.
The Heavenly Dao Brush replied, "I only know that this thing exists, but I didn't expect to encounter it here. However, I once heard Master talk about 'yin-yang balance' and 'excessive yin and deficient yang' and the like. But how to break this Heavenly Restraint, Master never explicitly said."
Li Xuan frowned slightly, muttering "yin-yang balance" in a low voice, his eyes narrowed as he fell into deep thought.
