The originally dark underground space was illuminated by the colorful glow of the gorgeous palace, becoming like daylight.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin stood below, looking up, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"I didn't expect that the Queen Mother of the West, who was so powerful back then, would now be buried in such an inconspicuous place."
Wuxin murmured to himself, and then became a little confused. He looked around and said softly: "Liang Yan, do you feel it?"
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded.
Ever since he approached the palace, he felt an invisible suppressive force that prevented the spiritual energy in his body from flowing. It was not obvious at first, but as the distance from the palace became closer, this suppressive force became more and more intense.
strong.
"What's going on? There are obviously no restrictions here, so why can't mana be used?" Wu Xin frowned.
"The answer may be up there."
Liang Yan pointed to the palace above.
Wu Xin looked in the direction he pointed and found four stone pillars standing around the palace. Different monsters were carved on each stone pillar. Some were shaped like goshawks, and some were like red pigs. Most of them were vicious and cruel.
His eyes were fixed downwards.
"These stone pillars are extraordinary, they can actually block our spiritual power!" Wuxin said in surprise.
"It is estimated that this is the last defensive restriction left by those eight people. It seems that Demon Lord Qingyun did not destroy it, but used a trick to pass it." Liang Yan said slowly.
"Yes, there is no other way here. They must have entered the palace. However, this palace is suspended in the sky, and our spiritual power is sealed. How can we get up?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan did not speak, but fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "Do you remember the eight statues you saw before?"
"of course I remember."
"Those eight people are not all human race. One of them is a demon race monk. He is different from the insect control race, giant spirit race, blood river race, etc. we have seen before. He should be the ancestor of the shadow race or the virtual race."
"Yes, that is indeed the case." Wuxin thought for a while and then said: "Do you suspect that this last restriction was placed by the demon monk?"
"good."
Liang Yan nodded, narrowed his eyes and said: "If I guessed correctly, the magical power practiced by this demon clan sub-sage is specifically to restrain the movement of spiritual power, and Demon Lord Qingyun may not be able to board this palace by relying on spiritual power.
force."
"Isn't it spiritual power? Is it the demon power of the demon clan? He is a human monk, even if he can swallow the power of law, he doesn't have the original demon power in him, right?"
"Haha, he didn't, maybe his companions did."
"You mean Wu Changqing?"
"no."
Liang Yan shook his head and his eyes flashed.
"After breaking through the Cloud Stepping Pass, I searched Xue Ju's soul and learned that a monk named 'Bitter Bamboo' had come to him and wanted to borrow his Ten Thousand Demon Banners. That Kuzhu was a demon cultivator.
He escaped without a trace before it was broken, so I'm afraid he's not from Beiming."
"Do you suspect that he is an accomplice of Demon Lord Qingyun?"
"good!"
Liang Yan said slowly: "As a descendant of the traitor, Wu Changqing must know what is in the tomb very well, so he made full preparations before entering this place. He wanted to get the Ten Thousand Demons Banner before, maybe just for
In response to the restrictions here, the Ten Thousand Demon Banners were finally acquired by me, and they could only find other substitutes."
When Wu Xin heard this, his face lit up and he said with a smile: "With your analysis, it's really possible! However, our spiritual power has been sealed, so we have to call the civet cat to come out to help."
"Xiao Song was seriously injured and is still awake. Let's let Lao Jin give it a try."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted the Taixu gourd on his waist, but saw a flash of rays of light, and Lao Jin's figure appeared in front of the two of them.
In the previous battle in the Wusheng Valley, Li Xiaosong resisted the alien army and more than a dozen Huajie elders, and was the most seriously injured, so he remained unconscious. On the contrary, Lao Jin and Zhao Xunzhen, who were not as good as her in cultivation, were not seriously injured.
Heavy.
"Lao Jin, I will teach you the formula to activate the Ten Thousand Monster Banners. You can try to see if you can lead us into the palace above."
Liang Yan said and handed the Ten Thousand Demons Banner into Lao Jin's hands.
"I'll try my best."
Without saying much, Lao Jin took the Ten Thousand Demons Flag and unfolded it.
He closed his eyes and muttered something in his mouth, and a pale golden glow soon appeared between his eyebrows, and entered the Ten Thousand Demon Banners under his spell.
Original demonic power!
Liang Yan knows that this is the original demon power that every demon clan has. Although the demon cultivators have learned the cultivation techniques of the human race and have spiritual power flowing in their bodies, the original demon power is what they are born with. Many of their natal magical powers are
It depends on this kind of demon power to activate.
Lao Jin injected his demonic power into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, and soon there was a reaction. A faint golden light flowed out from the banner, wrapping all three of them in it.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.
"As expected! It seems that these four stone pillars only suppress spiritual power, but not demonic power!"
"Lao Jin, send us up!"
Following Liang Yan's order, Lao Jin activated the Ten Thousand Demon Banners, swept everyone up with a golden light, and flew high into the sky together.
In the darkness, the three of them rose higher and higher, reaching a height of ten thousand feet in the blink of an eye!
The colorful palace is suspended here, surrounded by mist, and looks mysterious and unpredictable.
However, this palace has no entrance. The old Immortal Courtyard that built it had no intention of letting anyone in.
"The seal of this palace is so perfect that we can't break it with our cultivation. Fortunately, some of the eight people back then had ulterior motives and deliberately left a flaw."
Liang Yan said, pointing to an inconspicuous corner in the southeast of the palace.
The spatial fluctuations there are obviously different from other places. They look like flowing water, with some subtle changes appearing from time to time.
In addition, you can also see many cyan silk threads attached to the palace walls.
"The Heavenly Witch Bell! Those are the remaining traces of the Heavenly Witch Bell!" Wu Xin said via voice transmission.
"Well, Demon Lord Qingyun, Wu Changqing and the others entered from here. The entrance has been opened, let's go in too!"
After listening to Liang Yan's order, Lao Jin immediately activated the Ten Thousand Demon Flags and led the two of them to gallop forward, and soon arrived in front of the wall he just pointed to.
Without any pause, he rushed forward decisively!
The moment they hit the wall, everyone felt a lightness all over their bodies, then the world began to spin and they closed their eyes involuntarily.
The next moment, when they opened their eyes again, they were already inside the palace.
Wuxin looked around subconsciously, and saw three people standing in a long golden corridor, surrounded by magnificent and beautiful scenery.
"careful!"
When they arrived here, everyone was very alert because they might encounter Demon Lord Qingyun at any time.
However, what made Liang Yan more relieved was that after entering the palace, the four stone pillars could not affect them anymore, and his magic power was restored again, which also gave Liang Yan enough confidence.
"Lao Jin, you won't be able to help me in the fight later, so go to the gourd to recuperate first."
Liang Yan raised his hand to cast a spell, put Lao Jin into the Taixu Gourd, and at the same time activated the Tianji Pearl to completely hide himself and Wu Xin's aura.
The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and walked carefully along the corridor.
But it is said that the space inside the palace is very huge, with many corridors and passages intertwined with each other, with nine twists and turns, like a huge maze.
The material here is extremely strong, and ordinary magical powers cannot break it, and it can also block the detection of spiritual consciousness. Therefore, it is impossible to tell the direction here. Many forks in the road seem calm, but in fact they are hidden traps. If you make a wrong step, you may be killed.
Triggering a ban and siege.
Fortunately, Demon Lord Qingyun showed them the right path.
Wherever the organic formations are destroyed, it must be the path that Demon Lord Qingyun and the others have walked. As long as Liang Yan and Wu Xin follow these traces, they can keep up with each other's footsteps.
After walking like this in the huge maze for about half an hour, I suddenly heard a slight conversation in front of me, as if someone was arguing.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other without saying anything. They both concealed their auras to the extreme and walked cautiously towards the direction of the source of the sound.
After a while, the two came to a huge bronze door.
The door has been slightly opened. Looking inside through the crack in the door, I see a huge tomb. The walls of the tomb are carved with dragons and phoenixes, which are magnificent. There is a jade coffin in the middle, and the lid of the coffin has been opened.
There was a woman lying inside, elegant and majestic, exactly the same as the statue of the woman I saw before at the lakeside.
"Western Queen!"
Liang Yan and Wu Xin's pupils shrank.
Although he has been dead for tens of thousands of years, the Lord of the Immortal Court, the overlord who suppressed the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent back then, still gave them a deep shock.
However, this shock only lasted for a moment, and soon they focused their attention on the sky above the jade coffin.
There is a white jade pure vase suspended there. The mouth of the vase is narrow, the body of the vase is slender, and it is painted with nine phoenixes and wings. It looks extremely luxurious.
A ray of red light connected the jade bottle with the body of Queen Mother Xi. It seemed that the jade bottle flew out of Queen Mother Xi's body, but it was unwilling to leave and was still struggling to return to Queen Mother Xi's body.
"Demon Lord Qingyun, this is different from what we promised!"
Suddenly I heard a high-pitched voice shouting loudly.
The speaker was an old man with white beard and hair. He was tall and thin, with a pale face. He was the "Bitter Bamboo" who once appeared in Stepping Cloud Pass!
Wu Changqing and him stood side by side, both standing on the east side of the jade coffin, while Demon Lord Qingyun stood alone on the west side of the jade coffin.
At this time, Demon Lord Qingyun was casting a spell. Rays of rays of light flew out from his sleeves and entered the body of the Queen Mother of the West, causing the white jade pure bottle to rise continuously. Finally, it flew out of the coffin and suspended in the air.
He seemed not to want to pay attention to Kuzhu's questions.
Seeing this, Kuzhu raised his voice again and shouted: "Demon Lord Qingyun, do you want to break your promise and swallow the treasure for yourself?"
"I didn't break my promise."
Demon Lord Qingyun glanced at him and chuckled: "We agreed at the beginning that all the other treasures here belong to you. I only want the 'Luo Shen Bottle', right?"
Kuzhu said angrily: "You still have the nerve to mention it? What did you say before? There are countless treasures in the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, which can be divided up by us! But now? It's empty here, there is only a coffin and a corpse, you take it
'Luoshen Bottle', what do you want us to get?"
Demon Lord Qingyun laughed and said: "Kuzhu, Kuzhu, if you think about it again, what I said at the beginning was, 'There are great opportunities in the tomb of Queen Mother of the West!', but I didn't say that there are countless treasures here. Everything belongs to you.
How can you blame me for what you imagined?"
"you!"
Kuzhu was extremely angry and laughed back: "Okay, Demon Lord Qingyun! Do you think we are three-year-old children? You are playing this kind of scheming! Are you determined to fall out with us?"
"Fellow Taoist, please be patient. In fact, I'm not lying to you." Demon Lord Qingyun said slowly and leisurely: "You are a demon monk and want to find a magic weapon that suits you. Isn't there a ready-made one here?"
"Where?" Kuzhu asked hurriedly.
"It's just outside the palace."
Demon Lord Qingyun was still looking slow and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten those four 'spiritual locking stones'? It can suppress the opponent's spiritual power, and it must be activated with demonic power. As long as these four pieces can be used"
"Refining the Soul Locking Stone, in the human continent, no monk under the Sub-Sage is your opponent. Even if you encounter the Sub-Sage, you still have the power to protect yourself."
After hearing what he said, Kuzhu's expression softened, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, this is indeed an opportunity, it is better than returning empty-handed, but how to collect the four 'Spirit Locking Stones'
, do you know the method?"
"Of course, I can tell you now. It's just that the process is a little troublesome. You have to go first."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a cold snort.
Wu Changqing said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Kuzhu, don't be fooled by him, he is stalling for time!"
As soon as these words came out, Ku Zhu's expression immediately changed. Before he could speak, Wu Changqing continued: "Those four 'Spirit Locking Stones' have long been integrated with this palace. If he had that ability,
Why do you still need you to use the 'glazed lamp' to bring him up? In the final analysis, he just wants to swallow the Luoshen bottle, but he is still casting spells and cannot be distracted, so he uses this method to delay time."
"hehe."
Demon Lord Qingyun smiled slightly and said: "Brother Changqing is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. We have cooperated for so long, don't we even have this most basic trust?"
Wu Changqing sneered: "Are you considered a gentleman? It's because I have worked with you that I know how ruthless you are!"
After finishing speaking, he paused and then said: "However, there is one thing I have always been curious about. How do you, an outsider, know so many secrets about the Queen Mother of the West? There are some things that even I don't know, such as the secrets hidden in her corpse.
'Lo God Bottle'!"
After hearing this, Demon Lord Qingyun raised his head and let out a haha.
"Brother Changqing, you and I made an agreement back then not to pry into each other's secrets. Don't you have a lot of questions today?"
"good."
Wu Changqing suppressed his anger, nodded and said: "Ignore other things for now, I just want to ask you one question, can getting a wisp of holy energy from the Queen Mother of the West really break the restriction in my blood?"
"Well," Demon Lord Qingyun glanced at him and said leisurely, "Her body is right there. Don't you know if you try it yourself?"
