Zhu Jiuli stood among the crowd and was also looking at the strange beads in the mouths of the nine dragon beasts, with many speculations in his heart.
If the restraint in this ancient palace directly killed people, it wouldn't make everyone so suspicious, but swallowing the whole person into the bead and refining the restraint would appear a little different from the usual mystery.
After this incident, there were still people who believed that the beads were a valuable treasure but did not give up completely. Several more people walked out of the crowd. These people appeared to be very cautious and walked along the grand corridor in the palace, choosing a dragon sculpture as their target.
The target selected by several people was a statue of a mythical beast with a fish body and a dragon head, called Chi Kiss, also known as Dragon Ao.
Based on the fact that the mysterious power formations emitted from the previous statue could not reach far, these people stood ten meters away for safety. Then they shouted, offered their treasures, and prepared to ingest the beads from the dragon sculpture's mouth from a distance.
All of a sudden, all kinds of treasures shone brightly, including vaguely colored urn-shaped treasures and common bell-tower-shaped treasures, all heading towards the bead in the mouth of the Long Ao statue.
Unfortunately, the methods of these people still have no effect. Once their magic weapons are close to the statue, the mysterious formations on the sculpture will immediately appear, with gorgeous fluctuations, swallowing up all objects that are close to it silently.
There was a green-haired alien who was unwilling to have his treasure swallowed up, and struggled hard to take it back. The mysterious formations on the statue spread like lightning, like an alien approaching.
The alien was shocked and wanted to stop and give up the magic weapon, but it was too late. In the end, like the previous human man, he was imprisoned by the array of light, quickly became smaller, and was also sucked into the bead, making no sound again.
The remaining people were shocked and did not dare to show off any more. They allowed their magic weapons to be sucked into the beads in the mouth of the dragon eagle. They all returned to the crowd with sad faces.
Zhu Jiu stared at the statue, but what he focused on was the mysterious and powerful pattern on the statue. He wanted to memorize the operation of the pattern and use it himself, but this pattern seemed to have racial restrictions and could not be learned by humans.
, Zhu Jiu thought about it many times in his heart, but still couldn't learn.
Two people were swallowed into the beads twice in a row, and no one dared to try to collect the beads from the dragon eagle's mouth.
Everyone sighed, then turned away from the dragon and beast sculptures and looked elsewhere in the hall.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind the crowd:
"How come the door of the Black Qi Palace has become as solid as iron stone, and the secret power formations are shining, and it is no longer possible to enter or exit at will? What should I do?"
It turns out that someone saw that strange things happened one after another before they started to move forward after entering the temple, so they wanted to retreat and wanted to go out of the temple, but they found that the black air palace door that came in had quietly changed its form at some point, and there was no way out.
Everyone looked back and saw that the door behind them had indeed solidified into a mysterious substance like black marble. It was not only strong and difficult to damage, but also shone with simple and complicated faintly bright patterns, emitting a faint cold glow like moonlight, mysterious and cold.
It turns out that this hall can be entered but not exited, like a cage blocking everyone's way back.
Some cultivators were unwilling to accept it, and immediately used their magic power to bombard the door, hoping to open it and retain a viable escape route that could be exited at any time.
When this person bombarded the door with his magic power, the formation pattern on the door suddenly shone brightly, and black energy billowed out from the formation pattern, just like a long river rushing fiercely. The person who came forward to bombard the door was instantly swept up by the black energy.
He screamed loudly and died in a moment, obviously being killed by some mysterious force in the black air.
The remaining people did not care to be frightened. Seeing that the black energy continued to spread and was approaching, they hurriedly turned around and looked deep into the hall. It seemed that they could only continue to go deeper into the hall.
Everyone didn't even have time to think about it, and walked along the central corridor of the hall toward the depths of the hall. This time, no one dared to peek at the items in the hall.
Zhu Jiu also walked with the crowd, but he was more calm than most people. As he walked, he kept turning his head to look at the scene in the palace, and always remained alert.
I don't know why, every time they pass by a dragon sculpture, all cultivators will feel a chill in their hearts, feeling like they are being watched by a secret object.
At this moment, Zhu Jiu suddenly felt eyes staring at him. He turned around and saw a young man with a gloomy temperament. Standing next to this young man was Mo Daoku and his junior sister in a green dress.
Seeing Zhu Jiu looking back, the young man's eyes suddenly shone like lightning, carrying a very mysterious power, as if he could see through everything, and he looked at Zhu Jiu with pressure and hostility.
Zhu Jiu calmly stretched out his fingers and flicked them. Mysterious power flowed through his fingertips. The young man immediately snorted softly. The secret power contained in his eyes was dissipated by Zhu Jiu's fingers. His face turned slightly pale and he turned around unwillingly.
go.
When Zhu Jiu collided with this young man, some information related to this young man was quickly displayed on the sky list.
It turns out that this young man is also a candidate for the Tianjiao level master. His name appears in silver on the Tianjiao list, and he is called Wang Rongtian.
His name was not a golden name like Xiang E Wuyan, which was judged by the Heavenly Ranking to compete with Zhu Jiuyi, so it had not attracted Zhu Jiu's attention before.
However, in the relevant introduction to the Tianbang, the sect this young man came from is somewhat strange, and it is specially marked as the Xuantian Dao Sect.
This sect is not absolutely powerful in terms of strength, but the techniques it practices are rather off-beat and strange.
Zhu Jiu had also seen the introduction of this sect in some Abyss Corpse Shinto books. It is said that people from Xuantian Dao are very good at calculation and analysis. They can even analyze a person's luck direction in a short period of time by observing astronomical phenomena and select opponents.
When your luck is at its lowest, that is, when you are at your most unlucky, it is difficult to prevent someone from attacking you.
But this kind of secret technique has little effect on people like Zhu Jiu who hold the heavenly list and bless the destiny of heaven. Therefore, it is not a wise move for this young man to show hostility to Zhu Jiu.
At this time, everyone was quickly approaching the end of the corridor, and a strange pattern more than ten feet wide appeared on the ground filled with black air.
This pattern is circular, with countless complicated strokes outlined inside, and also mixed with many bright bright spots like stars. It seems to contain some mysterious truth, and a mysterious atmosphere circulates on the pattern.
As if sensing the crowd approaching, this mysterious pattern suddenly became brighter.
Everyone was particularly nervous in this mysterious hall, and their hearts tightened when they saw this, but the lighted up patterns just calmly circulated with a warm brilliance, and there were no other abnormalities.
With the black energy billowing behind, wanting to move forward was obviously related to the pattern on the ground. Everyone hurriedly tried, and some brave people even stood on it, but it was still useless. This was not a teleportation portal, and there was no way to leave.
Both the front and back turned into dead ends. Everyone was extremely anxious and looked back frequently to check. Fortunately, the black energy coming from behind slowed down at this time, so they were safe for the moment.
At this time, Mo Daoku suddenly smiled and spoke flatteringly to the gloomy young man beside him:
"Brother Rongtian, as the most outstanding disciple of Xuantian Dao Sect of this generation, you are far ahead of ordinary people in calculating the secret power patterns. How about you take action quickly?"
Someone in the crowd seemed to know the reputation of this sect, and he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said:
"It turns out that a fellow Taoist from the Xuantian Sect came here with us. It is true that God will not destroy me, so I ask the fellow Taoist to take action quickly. If we can avoid the immediate crisis, we all feel the same kindness."
The rest of the people praised the kindness together and urged the young man to take action quickly. The young man was not polite, walked out quickly, and began to carefully examine the complex patterns on the ground. The more he looked, the more he frowned, and said:
"This is actually an extremely complicated lock of divine power. It will take time to crack it."
When many people gathered around the young man, Zhu Jiu asked in his heart what the pattern on the ground was.
Tianbang immediately gave the answer:
"It is the lock of the Yili Divine Diagram. You need to use magic power to push the light spots on the pattern in the correct order before you can successfully crack it and enter deeper into the ancient temple. If the order is wrong, you will not be able to open it and may trigger some kind of restriction."
When Tianbang answered Zhu Jiu, he had already begun to deduce Zhengqi's solution.
The lock of the divine map encountered on the first floor of the ancient temple did not seem to be complicated. However, after a moment, the chaotic mist on the surface of the sky list dispersed slightly, revealing a pattern that was exactly the same as the one on the ground. The light spots on it were in a certain order.
Flash alternately.
At this time, the young man seemed to have gained something, and began to try to touch the complicated light spots on the divine map, but he seemed to be quite hesitant, and seemed somewhat unable to decide where to start.
Although the bystanders were anxious, they did not dare to say anything to interrupt the young man's train of thought.
Zhu Jiu saw that the black energy continued to approach, so he stopped waiting and walked out quickly, flicking his fingers to continuously output mana to push the many light spots on the ground pattern.
Someone next to the young man suddenly said to Zhu Jiu in shock and anger:
"What are you doing? Xuantian Dao is famous all over the world for its Yili. How can you be better than him? Don't think that you can understand the divine texts. We will let you go and waste everyone's time. You can't bear the responsibility."
