Late at night, the sky above Longhu Mountain was covered with dark clouds, and light rain fell from the sky. From time to time, a series of lightning rolled through the clouds, illuminating the sky and the earth. Longhu Mountain was located in the darkness of the rainy night, like a
Silent giant, the low thunder rumbled in the sky, majestic and solemn.
Ziyuan stood at the entrance of the Linggong sect cave. She raised her head and looked at the sky, motionless, silently waiting for something.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting like this, when she suddenly saw a golden light flashing from the main peak of Longhu Mountain, disappearing into the thunder clouds. Suddenly there was a loud thunder and lightning.
When Ziyuan saw this scene, her eyes immediately focused, her eyes firm and determined.
She has been waiting for the arrival of thunderstorms these days, waiting for Zhang Tianshi, the greatest threat to her from the Zhengyi Sect, to throw himself into the thundercloud to survive the thunderstorm. Now she finally waited for this opportunity, and immediately moved towards Zhengyi Sect.
The main peak of a sect swept away quickly.
But not long after Ziyuan left, suddenly there was another person beside her. Ziyuan turned around and saw that the person next to her had a ponytail and a plump and bright forehead. Although it was under the night, she still couldn't hide her beauty.
The color is none other than her junior sister Ruan Hongling.
Ziyuan immediately stopped and said in shock and anger: "Hong Ling, didn't I tell you not to follow me?"
Ziyuan knew that her trip was extremely dangerous. The Zhengyi Sect spent huge manpower and material resources to re-establish the Three Ultimate Formation, which must be extremely powerful. Even if Li Yundong was still alive and Tianji Xuanhu was still alive, if they accidentally entered the Three Ultimate Formation,
I'm afraid that it will also end up in the terrible end of being wiped out in ashes.
Although Ziyuan is already a master of thunder tribulation in her own cultivation, she is still far behind Li Yundong and Tianji Xuanhu. She knows that there is a high possibility that she will never return during this trip, which is a disaster, so she
Ruan Hongling was specially asked to carefully take care of Cao Kefei's soul next to the lotus pond in the stone cave these days, while she herself was at the entrance of the cave paying close attention to the situation of the main peak of Longhu Mountain.
But what Ziyuan didn't expect was that although Ruan Hongling took care of her well, she would follow Ziyuan as soon as she left the cave.
Ruan Hongling usually only followed Ziyuan, especially when Ziyuan got angry, she didn't dare to contradict her, and she said she would never go east when she said she was going west.
But at this time, Ruan Hongling's eyes showed a firmness and determination, and she said: "Senior sister, now there are only two of us left in the Linggong sect. Do you think I will let you go out in danger alone? If you have three advantages and two disadvantages,
, have you ever thought about what I want to do?"
Ziyuan's heart trembled after hearing this, but her face was still full of anger. She scolded: "No, you are not cultivated enough to follow me!"
Ruan Hongling asked without giving in: "Senior sister, your cultivation level is indeed much higher than mine, but no matter how high your cultivation level is when you enter the Three Ultimate Formation, if it causes the Three Ultimate Formation to move, do you think you can escape?"
Do you want to go? Is there any difference between a thunder tribulation master and someone like me in the Three Ultimate Formation?"
Ziyuan was silent for a while. She knew that everything Ruan Hongling said was true and she could not refute it. However, she still did not want Ruan Hongling to take risks with her, so she said earnestly: "Hongling, I still have a chance to escape by myself. If
Two people...I really, really..."
When Ziyuan said this, her voice was already trembling and she couldn't go on. Ruan Hongling's eyes were red and tears were streaming from her eyes. In the rain, the teardrops were mixed with the raindrops, and she couldn't tell what was tears and what was rain. She
Choking with sobs, he said: "Senior sister, don't worry, I will never hold you back. I just ask you to take me with you. In the past, you took me with you for everything. Since you came down the mountain, you have nothing to do with anything."
Tell me, you won't take me with you anymore, am I still your junior sister?"
Ziyuan sighed and gently wiped the water and tears from Ruan Hongling's face. She said softly: "Then you have to promise me that if anything happens, you have to leave immediately and never control me. I understand.
?"
Ruan Hongling wiped her tears hard and nodded: "I understand."
Ziyuan looked at her intently, seeing her firm expression, but not sure whether she heard it or not. Ziyuan was unwilling to waste any more time, and after sighing, she continued to rush towards the main peak of Longhu Mountain, while Ruan Hongling was standing there.
She followed quickly behind her.
After a shocking battle, almost everything has been settled, so Longhu Mountain has also relaxed a lot of vigilance. In addition, it is late at night and it is the "A Thousand Golden Moments" of Insects. Almost most practitioners
Everyone is practicing meditation, and Zhang Tianshi, the strongest extant member of the Zhengyi Sect, is also diving into the thunder clouds to survive the thunder tribulation. Therefore, the defense of Longhu Mountain has almost dropped to an unprecedented level.
Ziyuan herself is a master of thunder tribulation and a disciple of the inner chamber. She is very good at condensing aura and traces. Therefore, even though she brought Ruan Hongling with her, who was not very high in cultivation, she still easily sneaked into the main peak from the side peak.
The two came to the main peak of Zhengyi Sect, passed through the mountain gate, walked along the main stone steps, and came to the majestic Tianshi Mansion. At this time, there were only two middle-aged Taoist priests on duty in front of the Tianshi Mansion.
Ziyuan and Ruan Hongling, under the cover of Nayan Tiannu's seal, carefully passed under their noses. After passing through the main hall of the Tianshi Mansion, they nervously and vigilantly walked to the back hall step by step.
The two walked for a while, and saw that the surrounding courtyard was getting deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were frighteningly quiet. Ruan Hongling looked around and saw that the night was so thick that it seemed like ink could not be melted. No matter how she looked, she could not tell where they were going to hide the elixir.
land.
Ruan Hongling couldn't help but send a message to Ziyuan and said: "Senior sister, do you know where this elixir is hidden?"
Ziyuan also looked around, and then said through a message: "If I guessed correctly, we should be able to guess where the elixir is hidden based on the density of the spiritual energy distribution in the surrounding area."
Ruan Hongling sent a message: "The place with the densest spiritual energy should be the Three Ultimate Formations, right?"
Ziyuan nodded and said: "Yes, the magic power of the Three Ultimate Formation is very powerful. If there are no magic weapons and practitioners with extremely strong spiritual energy to guard it, there will be amazing murderous intent and magic power rising into the sky, causing all kinds of strange phenomena, so we only
Just follow the direction with the strongest spiritual energy."
Ruan Hongling nodded and continued to follow Ziyuan cautiously without saying any more.
After Ziyuan observed it for a while, she closed her eyes slightly, and the yang spirit in her body came out of her body, and instantly turned into countless extremely small light spots that spread in all directions.
Not long after, these light spots quickly gathered together from all around and re-formed Ziyuan's Yang Shen. Soon, Ziyuan's Yang Shen entered her body, opened her eyes, and said, "I understand, follow me."
Ziyuan straightened up and quickly went deep into the back hall. After climbing over a series of palaces and wing rooms, they finally arrived at the cliff at the back of the main peak of Longhu Mountain.
Zi Yuan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see a pitch black darkness at the bottom of the mountain, like the mouth of a giant beast, which was extremely scary. Ruan Hongling also stretched out his head to take a look, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Senior sister, are you sure this is here?
There is no way."
Ziyuan thought for a while and said, "Come down with me." After saying that, she jumped up and flew out, heading down the cliff.
Ruan Hongling also flew over, and the two of them slowly descended along the steep cliff while carefully looking around at the occasional flash of lightning.
Soon, Ziyuan discovered a rune carved on the cliff in front of her. Her heart moved and she immediately looked to the side. Sure enough, she saw other runes carved regularly not far away.
Ziyuan immediately flipped her wrist, and a beating blue flame appeared in the palm of her hand, illuminating the surrounding area. She took a closer look through the light of the fire, and saw that the runes were converging on one place from all directions, from far to near.
, the closer to the center, the denser it becomes.
She immediately flew towards the center where the runes were densely covered. As soon as she flew over, she saw a huge stone beast standing on the cliff. It was a coiled green dragon.
Ziyuan was stunned, and soon she looked diagonally to the other side. She moved and flew to a place more than a hundred meters away. Sure enough, she saw exactly the same scene. In the surrounding rune formation, a stone
The beast stands among them, but it is a red bird.
At this time, Ruan Hongling also came to her senses, and she whispered: "Sister Ziyuan, are the four sacred beasts guarding the elixir we are looking for?"
Ziyuan shook her head: "It's not that simple. These four divine beasts and so many rune arrays should be specially designed to suppress the astonishing murderous intent and magic power of the three great formations."
After she finished speaking, she flew towards the center of the four sacred beasts. After flying for a while, she found two swords stuck on a stone wall. The hilts of these two swords went straight into the rock wall. They were surrounded by
Weeds and shrubs growing strongly on the cliffs are impossible to spot unless you look closely.
Ziyuan pushed aside the weeds and shrubs, and saw that the hilt of the sword was surrounded by extremely small and dense runes. Bursts of dark red light showed through the lines of the runes, faintly visible.
Ziyuan saw that the markings around the rune circle were old, but the hilts of the two long swords were rust-free, just like new swords. She couldn't help but be stunned, and turned to look at Ruan Hongling.
Ruan Hongling also looked at the two swords with surprise and uncertainty. Although her cultivation level was not high, she was also a disciple of the inner chamber and had a lot of experience. She whispered: "Senior sister, these two swords... are a bit strange, shouldn't they?
Is it the mechanism that activates the three magic arrays?"
Ziyuan raised her arm and touched the cliff with her slender hand. In an instant, countless small fireballs burned one after another, like a faint wall of fire. This wall of fire illuminated the cliff transparently and extremely clearly. Ziyuan's figure instantly
Floating far away, after taking a look from a distance, she touched it again with her hand, and the wall of fire disappeared in an instant, not even a single weed was ignited.
Ziyuan flashed back to Ruan Hongling and said: "You are right, but you are also wrong. If I guessed correctly, these two swords should be the key magic weapons to block the murderous intent and mana of the Three Jue Formation from leaking. As long as
If you pull out these two swords, the three great formations should open, and we should be able to enter the formation."
Ruan Hongling's heart trembled. When things came to a close, she suddenly felt timid and looked at the two sword hilts, her eyes flashing.
Ziyuan seemed to be aware of her heart, and said to her softly: "Hongling, you have already accompanied me here, why not go back first."
Ruan Hongling gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to hold one of the sword hilts, and said: "Senior sister, didn't you see there are two swords here? It is obvious that two people are required to draw the swords at the same time, and if I am not wrong, there should be two swords.
The strength and speed with which individuals draw their swords must be the same, otherwise it will cause backlash from the magic circle, right?"
Ziyuan sighed and said in a slow and solemn tone: "Hong Ling, you are right, but you have to think clearly. If we open the magic circle, there will be no way back."
Ruan Hongling said with firm eyes: "Senior sister, you can't open this magic circle by yourself. Don't say any more. We've already come this far. Where can we turn back?"
Ziyuan said no more, she nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly stretched out her hand towards the hilt of the other sword.
