377 Trying to Escape from the Cliff Cave for the First Time (2/2)
It was said that the most powerful Divine Talisman Masters could map a place and turn it into a prison. Ning Que never saw his master Yan Se do it, but he had seen the Confinement of the West-Hill Divine Palace, which was used by the deacons of the Judicial Department at the Desolate Man's tent. And he had also seen the Confinement made by Youngest Under's Haoran Sword at the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine.
It seemed that there was nothing at the entrance of the cave. And when there was a breeze, under the last of daylight, dust floated in the air and could go through the entrance freely. But Ning Que knew there must be something.
The master imprisoned him in the cave and said he couldn't go out until he understood. It meant that he needed to learn thoroughly about everything in the world, only then would he be able to walk out of the cave.
Being confined in the cave was a punishment, but it was more of a challenge.
Whenever he was faced with challenges that couldn't be avoided, Ning Que always calmed down as soon as possible and tried to forget all the worries. He would not hurry to escape, but to make full preparations before facing the challenge.
So he sat down and closed his eyes to meditate. The Great Spirit in his body started floating around and absorbing Qi of Heaven and Earth in the surrounding area.
The sun fell down, and the city was veiled in darkness. While people in the city were already shrouded in darkness, those staying on the high cliff could still see some daylight.
The light was on Ning Que's eyelashes, making them so shiny as if he was wearing some makeup.
When he was sure that he was at his best physically and psychologically, Ning Que stood up and walked towards the entry slowly but firmly.
The last daylight shrouded the entry, and he walked into the daylight.
Suddenly he felt that all the air and even sunlight in the air was frozen. He met a great force, like sticky honey water, stopping him from walking forward.
The nearer to the entry, the greater the force became. In the end, he felt that he was in a mire, unable to move any further. It was even hard for him to breath.
Having felt the obstacle near the entry, Ning Que didn't try to break through it. Instead, he walked back in his fastest speed. He got rid of the invisible force after taking three steps back. And only after panting for a while, did he return to his normal state.
Sangsang walked out of the hut on the edge of the cliff with a burning torch in her hand.
Ning Que looked carefully at the entry under the light of the torch. He didn't miss anything, even the seemingly natural patterns on the walls or the tiny stone on the ground. But he still couldn't see any tactical arrays or any movement of talisman.
It was not the talisman or array that made the inhibition, it was an aura that had appeared from nowhere.
The aura was like the purest wine, very simple but also really strong.
It drew all the Qi of Heaven and Earth around the cliff to the entry in a way that he couldn't understand.
So much Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered at a small entry. It could be seen how hard the Qi of Heaven and Earth was pressed together, so much that it even had a qualitative change and became a substantial barrier.
...
...
Sangsang held the torch and yelled at him, ”Young master, how is it? Can you go out?”
”It is not that easy to find the way out.”
Ning Que shook his head. Looking at her, he suddenly said, ”Please move away.”
Sangsang stuck the torch on the ground with some difficulty and returned to the hut.
Looking at the entry, Ning Que knew that he couldn't do anything to break the inhibition if it was made of some very complicated tactical array or some Divine Talisman. However, it was made by some strong aura and was a physical barrier.
For ordinary cultivators, this barrier had too much of the Qi of Heaven and Earth around, which could even interfere with their own ability to move the Qi of Heaven and Earth. But for Ning Que, it was an advantage because he didn't need to use the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
After inheriting Youngest Uncle's Great Spirit and joining the Devil, Ning Que's physical strength was increasingly stronger. So as long as it was a real barrier, he could just break through it. His eyes lit up when he found this could work.
Ning Que believed that he could just rush out of the cave and return with Sangsang. Imagining the shocked expression on other Senior Brothers and Sisters' faces and the angry face of the master, he got very excited.
The Great Spirit floated around his body and reached every part of it.
Staring at the entry, Ning Que bent slightly and lifted his heel. Snap! His left heel stepped on the ground and left a clear footprint.
By using this power, Ning Que moved as fast as an arrow to the entry.
A loud sound was made on the entry.
A figure flashed past and hit the ground heavily like a goose shot by an arrow.
Ning Que looked terrible after hitting the ground.
He spat some blood out, which landed on the footprint he left before like rain.
