Sheng Xiao pointed at the fifth calligraphy painting and said to Kunlun, “Take that one down.”

Kunlun walked towards the painting thoughtfully. He looked up at the painting and stared into its eyes. Suddenly, another pair of light purple eyes appeared in his mind.

Those eyes were smiling at him with attachment and admiration.

Kunlun’s lips quivered as he muttered, “Ah Ling…”

A purple light flashed. The person in the painting suddenly blinked at Kunlun. As her lips moved, she said in a chirpy and charming voice, “Master, you’re finally back.”

Kunlun shook his head and dispelled the illusion in his mind. Then, he reached out and took down the calligraphy painting.

After the calligraphy painting was taken down, the woman on the painting suddenly swung her dark golden fishtail and transformed into an illusory figure that appeared in front of Kunlun.

The ancient merman Na Ling stared deeply at Kunlun. She suddenly bent down and said affectionately but respectfully, “Master, I’ve finally awaited you.”

Kunlun told the drawing spirit, “I’m not the Kunlun Divine Master. I’m just his reincarnation.”

“I know,” the drawing spirit told Kunlun. “Ten thousand years ago, when you hung me and the other paintings here, you reminded me that I must protect Na Ling. I must not let any living creature barge into the tomb and disturb Na Ling’s soul.”

“For the past ten thousand years, I’ve been waiting for you to return. I’ll bring you into the tomb to see Na Ling now.” Ah Ling bowed to Kunlun. Then, she waved her hand, and Yu Huang and the others felt the world spin.

From the impact of the force, everyone fell for five to six seconds before their feet finally landed on the ground.

After Yu Huang and the others opened their eyes and stabilized each other, they looked up and realized that the land world they were in had disappeared!

At this moment, they were standing at the bottom of the deep sea in a tomb made of jade. The statue of the ancient merman, Na Ling, was still standing here.

A powerful energy shield lingered above the tomb, and outside the energy shield, the surging seawater was attacking the tomb.

So this was the true burial ground of the ancient merman Na Ling!

The grassland land they had seen earlier was actually an illusion barrier set up by the Kunlun Divine Master for his deceased wife!

Ah Ling raised her head and smiled gently at Kunlun as she said, “I’ve finally fulfilled your last wish, so it’s time to say goodbye to you.”

With that, Ah Ling’s figure disappeared and turned into a portrait that landed on the ground.

After Kunlun picked up the portrait on the ground, he realized that it had already lost its spiritual consciousness and could no longer respond to Kunlun’s call.

Kunlun knew that Ah Ling had disappeared, so he picked up the painting and brought Sheng Xiao and the others deeper into the cemetery.

After they walked into Na Ling’s cemetery, they discovered that there was something else inside.

The cemetery didn’t have a tomb or a coffin, but a bubbling magma pool instead. Yu Huang and the others didn’t find a path to pass through.

Sheng Xiao frowned. “There’s no way out of here.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll try.” Yu Huang spread her phoenix wings and tried to fly past the magma pool, but she discovered that the magma pool had completely suppressed the spiritual power in her body. They were unable to fly over it at all.

Seeing Yu Huang’s dejected and puzzled expression, Beatrice pointed to the left and said in confusion, “There’s a small bridge there. Can’t you see it?”

Beatrice stared at the small bridge on the left in confusion.

It was a black bridge. The small bridge was on the magma pool and it was winding.

Yu Huang and the others looked in the direction Beatrice was pointing at, but they didn’t see the so-called bridge.

They only saw a scorching magma pool emitting black smoke.

“Can you really see a bridge?” Sheng Xiao frowned at Beatrice.

Beatrice asked them, “You guys really can’t see it?”

Yu Huang and the others shook their heads.

At this moment, Kunlun said, “I don’t see the bridge Beatrice pointed at, but there’s a black bridge in front of me,”

Kunlun stared in front of him and said seriously.

Sheng Xiao looked into Kunlun’s eyes and saw a black bridge and a red magma pool.

However, he, Yu Huang, and the others couldn’t see the bridge.

Sheng Xiao and the others shook their heads. “We can’t see the bridge in front of you or the bridge Beatrice mentioned.”

“How could that be?!” Kunlun walked onto the bridge in front of him. After he took a few steps forward, he turned around and said to Sheng Xiao and the others, “Isn’t it under my feet?”

However, in Yu Huang and Beatrice’s view, there was no bridge under Kunlun’s feet. He was floating above the magma pool.

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Kunlun asked Beatrice, “You can’t see it either?”

Beatrice shook her head.

Kunlun stomped on the bridge under his feet and said in distress, “You guys really can’t see such a straight and wide bridge?”

Beatrice shook her head. “I can’t see the bridge under your feet, but the bridge I see isn’t straight. It’s a bridge with many forks.”

Kunlun muttered in confusion, “That’s strange.”

At this moment, Beatrice hesitated for a moment before raising her head and stepping on the bridge on the left.

She stepped on the bridge and took a few steps forward. When she turned around, she realized that the bridge behind her had disappeared. She was stunned for a moment before turning to look ahead. She saw that the bridge in front of her was still there, and it still looked winding.

Beatrice’s expression changed slightly and she said, “I have a bad feeling. After I stepped onto this bridge and walked forward for a while, the bridge behind me disappeared.”

Beatrice looked at Sheng Xiao and the others uneasily as she said, “There’s no turning back for me. I can only walk forward.”

And there were too many forks in this bridge. If she took the wrong path, she would be doomed!

The expressions of Yu Huang and the others changed when they heard this.
